BRAND OF SACRIFICE LYRICS

1. Eclipse

Your offerings have consecrated
They are marked by the brand
The sun has seen it's fifth death for the red lake to flow again
He will feel their pain in order to complete the final transformation
A name new and old

Falcon of darkness, send us into an age of abyss
Blinded by beauty with stacks of bodies as high as the eye can see

Feast apostles, feast

The one chosen by the hand of God
The master of the sinful black sheep and the king of the faithful blind

Welcome to the new age
Welcome to the new age
We are the branded ones

2. Casca

Blood covers your face

Started life as a peasant in these mountains remote
From a town full of starvation and a populace without hope
Your parents they loved you, but they could not provide for you
So you were sent to a castle as a servant for a better life
The position extended by a travelling nobleman

He offered to serve as your guide
(A protector)
The title was only a mask, a fucking fallacy
His armour hid his true nature and on this path his patience wears thin

Filled with desire and lust he takes you into the carriage
You're overwhelmed by his size, his weight and his grasp
Submitting, praying that this day would become your last, but a stranger appears suddenly, behind the nobleman's back
His sword was withdrawn

His sway of the blade severs the nobleman's ear

His sword was withdrawn
Witness the falcon

Blood covers your face and your adrenaline increases to a climax

So you lifted the sword and you drove it through his chest without looking back
(Looking back)
You made your choice, no looking back

Marked a falcon the day, defined by the kill

A new leader, by the sword you're
(Fulfilled)
Following the man who showed you free will

Marked a falcon defined by the kill
Open eyes, no disguise, no lies only left with reality

You made your choice, no looking back
You made your choice, no looking back

3. Conviction

You've been deceived
(Deceived)

You've been deceived by the holy see
Imprisoned by your convictions, blinded by superstition
Cover your sins with iron chains and royal amour of shame
Imprisoned by your convictions, blinded by superstition

Unbelief is what will lead to your eternal extinction
Embrace your surroundings and uncover the true meaning of fear
Enter the interstice and witness crimson eyes that terrorize
From this moment, this will be be your world
A realm between the transient and the dead

The bearer of light dwells in the deep darkness

Your attempt to break free is futile as you're mounted by a hideous beast
It's saliva touches your cheek while you shriek in agony
Your scream serves as an reminder of that day

Do not pray
If you pray, your hands will close together
You will not be able to survive the night

So I lose control over every ounce of remaining restraint
The sway of my blade decapitates
Born of bloodshed, strengthened to kill
They won't live to see the daybreak

You've been deceived by the holy see
Imprisoned by your convictions, blinded by superstition
Cover your sins with iron chains and royal amour of shame
Imprisoned by your convictions, blinded by superstition

4. Millennium

You've been sheltered in this household of hypocrisy to regenerate
Darkness centralized, haunting every dream
Causing uncertainty and savagery on a whim
Reason lost, the beast tempts from within

I will refuse it's chains, I will refuse it's restraints
I will rely on the sword, cutting through all the reprobate
Rely on the sword, cut through the reprobate

The people of the seat misguided by who they call holy
Dismissing exigent warnings, traversing mutants release
Pillage, molestation, plunder of the gutless
(Plunder of the gutless)

I'll carve out the corrupt
Watch the bodies fall, retain legitimate souls

(Establish)
Establish a barrier
(This barrier)
Watch the storms ahead
To control the swarms and regain control of this war

As long as we bear the brand, our anger, our sadness, our pain, and fear belong to them

5. Crimson

I survey the room where the deceased lay
I witness eyes crimson, a monster
Spattered in blood, slaughtered
Band of the hawk hung on display
My strike must be fatal, if I want to withstand this

This beast is not of this world, I can feel it inside
But the band of the hawk will never cower and hide
(Never cower and hide)

What is this blade this mortal wields?
No matter, he's a human like so many before
I'll cut him down, destroy him with one blow
His strength surpasses any swordsman's I've faced before

My strike you evaded it
What the hell is this?

Your intentions interest me, in you I see no fear
A mere moral has punctured my skin and allowed me to feel again

Don't hold back, don't hold back, don't hold back
Don't hold back, don't hold back

You impress me mortal, we will meet again
