MAYSALOON LYRICS

1. A Hymn to Ugarit

[Instrumental]

2. Mot

"In the midst of the land of his inheritance
And the guards of the defense of the gods
El's beloved, the hero"
Dreadful tyrant of the underworld

Gazing in the eyes of eternity
For ages of blood and stones
Reaping millions and millions
Usurper of lives forevermore

Come forth into the nothingness
Conceal your burden inside my womb

Like a plague I prevail
A disarray incarnates
With doctrine, creed and faith
Embodiment of death and decay

The winds are blowing hatred
Vortex of wrath and despair
Lord of lords, king of kings is vanished
Mighty Baal shall be restrained
By chains, by bane
Blackening his clouds and rains
Deformed, dethroned
Dismantled, ripped and torn

Engraved in stones, carved on tablets
Long forgotten

A lip to earth, a lip to heaven
And a tongue to the stars.

3. Pillars of Creation

The pillars of creation;
They live and die around me.
I've felt the astral sting before,
And its distorted dialogue
Unfolds – earthly, before me.

The pillars of creation;
They live and die around me.
The spell is born: a tainted cross
Held high yonder hope

In a room with candles two:
One unlit, another damp –
One dies away,
The other swims in matter dark.
Unfold, earthly, before me.

Drink, my child, and take this orb,
This chain and this mentality;
A fate endowed forevermore;
Upon ye, a changing malady.

I abide.

4. Herald of Divinity

Let the skies fall down on me
Let the miracles fall down scorned
I, the one, the fallen from grace
The unholy sins of seeking the light

I, the godless entity
Of finding truth between the lies
Carve my wisdom upon your sacredness
Divine illusions obscure the lights

I'm the knowledge
Inside the hearts
Of hypocrites
Of all mankind

The word of truth
Of ancient ones
Spoken out loud
But you deny

The silence was deafening
Before you spoke my words.
I gave the fruit that dressed your minds:
The will, the choice, the endless light.

You took my scythe and planted hate.
With tooth and nail you took the land,
And spread the seeds of ignorance,
And burned the banners I bestowed.

This swordless crusade, it crucifies
The essence of illumination.
This herald of divinity;
It is as dead as me.

The silence was deafening
Before you spoke my words.
Turn my ashes to a frozen stone
And mourn me in the entrails of hell.

5. Hadad, Slayer of Yamm

I come in names aplenty
I bide the sky and land.
My rage transcends insanity
With a fist or an open hand.
The instruments of malice
Fail not to surround me.
I thirst and drink a chalice
Encircling my enemies.

All is ill all is cluttered.
All is ill all is shattered.

The choice is but a key
To a life of pride and war.
Grandeur of prosperity
Is but the fruit of gore.
The mountain and its blood
Shall mark my name a God.
Behold the lord of thunder
Forger of the skies

I the builder, lord divine.
I the Lion, the slayer of Yamm

I hang the heads of those
Who shelter behind swords.
I poke their eyes with burning bow
Dismantle them in hoards.
I'm bound to pry and fraud
And vest myself a God.
Their blindedness shall see the loss
Once they're hung upon the cross.

All is ill, all is cluttered
Beneath my will they will scatter.
All is ill, all is shattered
Don't look weak, don't look so muttered

I the builder, lord divine
Conjurer of storms, devourer of light.

6. Of Gods and Decay

The sands of time have covered
All the traces of gods and accolades

The silence of eternity
Have spread its infidelity
To march against the gods,
Bring chaos upon the worlds

Witness the wrath of gods
Upon these tortured grounds,
Defy the laws and wreak havoc upon these wretched lands
Deny the words of gods,
Absented minds and souls
Ignore the tales and plant your cancer in the holy lands

We are the light that shines
We are the ties that bind
The gift that has been bestowed
Our fate has been foretold

We are the light that shines
We are the ties that bind
As we shall be divine
Within the tombs of man

Witness the wrath of gods
Upon these tortured grounds,
Defy the laws and wreak havoc upon these wretched lands
Deny the words of gods,
Absented minds and souls
Ignore the tales and plant your cancer in the holy lands

Take form, align,
Retrieve what once was lost
Attack, destroy,
Defile the morbid ghosts

Enraged, deranged,
Collective minds encaged
Erased, embraced,
Forgotten wrinkled page

7. Downfall

Searching for the breadcrumbs down along the twining path,
The scenes I've seen deformed my sullen mind.
Standing at the arching edge of a sun that doth recline:
Avowed to break the bones of the fallen Man.

With an eye to the moon,
And an eye to the land,
And a will to steal the bolt of the horned crown;

I tell the tale of Mot, the unbent eater of the lords,
Though recalling relics lost and figures left-off scraps,
The olden story had its twists and turns.
It's said with utmost certainty that he then poked his way
To triumph out the entrails of the beast.

With a tooth to the sky,
And a tooth to the sea,
And a hand to smite his glorious majesty,

He took the mount,
And took the crescent
Back from the tyrant's grasp.
Agape, the faltered gates of hell
Were sealed at his command.

The seas red, med and dead did flow to praise his name;
His anvil's roar and the discourse of mankind's downfall.

8. The Truer One

This dismal destiny devours
The dread of dawn;
At which His entity arrives
To reap what they had sown.
The sea is all around us,
The desert gape in vain,
They cry for the wrong name;
They're burdened with His shame.

The gates no longer hold
His orb and spear.
The crashing grains against the land,
The earth dressed in grey,
The thunder in the sky –
They scorn the burning temple
Of he who raped their minds.

The truer Baal shall bask the earth,
And shun the lies in you.
Those pools of blood shall see the birth
Of His light all anew.

Hail Lord of Storms

This dismal destiny devours
The dread of dawn;
At which His entity arrives
To reap what they had sown.
The sea is all around us,
The desert gape in vain,
They cry for the wrong name;
They're burdened with His shame.
