axis of the worlds

fortresses built by idle hands

weapons forged in the shadows

solemn words praise the devoted and brave

stepping on the threshold of the insane

the walls must be breached

the branches of the old tree creak

the songbird sings it's elegy

the lifetime leaves are turning pale

the serpent gnawing and spitting

praising the high king on his golden throne

for shelter

harvest and peace

seeking council in the halls of the tyrant

dwelling on the doorsteps of doom

the walls must be breached

the branches of the old tree creak

the soldier swinging swords

the glare in the hearts is fading

the serpent feasts with joy

chase the serpent

step on his tail

grant it eyes to behold

grant it wings to expand

grant it thoughts to convey

grant it claws to destroy

eihwaz/eoh

envision the sacrifice

eihwaz/eoh

glance into the worlds

eihwaz/eoh

let the blood heal

eihwaz/eoh

let it grow

let it rot

as certain as birth and death

grief will follow laughter and joy

the vermin will return to the lair

but the branches will never break

the walls will breach
