The Oath

Burning embers of the second death will come in the night 
Priests and kings, the alpha and omega, poison bites 
False prophets and deceivers swing from the trees 
Now dawn the age of birds 
Drunk with blood, like lepers with disease 
Lord of the sky Mercury the guide 
Lord of the underworld, I swear the sacred rite 
I will crucify, slay them with their tribe 
Hear my war cry 

They'll find no sanctuary hidden in their ancestral halls 
Let loose the knot that binds the spirit and flesh 
Let it fall 
For only courage and heroism linger after death 
So, hold fast thy sword, rejecting pain, feel the dragons 
Breath 

I've sworn the oath
