REVELATIONS tome II
THE RISING TIDES
Tremble, O you children of Order
Tremble, O you children of Chaos
Father is coming
Father is here
With his lessons of madness
And hands full of blood
He comes to make the world anew
And his chariot is pain and horror.
The tome is found, the undeads are free.
The tome is found, the undeads are free.
The dark rise.
The dark rise.
Weep, O you children of immortals
For your lives shall be as the shells broken
By the lightning of each new world.
All this shall pass away.
Weep, O you warriors and mages,
For your gods are a lie and their promises are empty rags.
All this shall pass away.
Weep O you grain-fed maggots Squirming in the basket of bread,
For your bellies are splitting with the feast
And a storm of flies is coming.
All this shall pass away.
Weep, O you sullen nightmares,
For the dancing gods of flickeringscreens shall lead you to oblivion.
Father is coming Father is here.
All this shall pass away.
The Tome is found, the undeads are free.
The tome is found, the undeads are free.
The dark rise.
The dark rise.
See the colossos of steel astride the world Behold the worms in his feet.
As the giant totters,
the worms rejoice,
For there will be food aplenty when the giant falls.
See the broken chamber of 500 years
And the shattered crystal upon the floor.
See the stones weeping and the One free.
The Omen is here.
The Omen is free.
Hear the howls in the night
As the wolfs of Chaos and Order
Cast themselves into the Dragon's coils.
Smell the brother's blood from time's beginning
In dark will the light die!
In dark will the fire die!
From the East, from the Dark will vengeance come
The cities of the West will blaze with rage,
And a great whell from the East,
From the formless lands,
Will crush them!
On the last night When the moon is a sliver of darkness
Comes the final embrace!
Shine black the sun!
Shine black the moon!
The Dark rise!
