REALMBUILDER LYRICS

1. Bow Before The Oligarchy

Bow before them compelled to kneel avert your eyes
Years of crawling lost halcyon three years of dusk
A dark arrival a blade slices then from now hills filled with the dead

Their hissing words are serpent threats sword point genuflection
Their homes have all been burned
Chained to unfinished work
Chained the fettered ones perish
Bow before them compelled to kneel avert your eyes

2. Silver Ziggurat

An unheeded altar rain falls around it
All who enter forget themselves

Compelled to go the voice calls what is this place?
A fever burns in my mind the tattoo of one million hammers
An artefact of aeons ageless on a dying world
A jagged shadow is cast by the silver ziggurat

Captives return secreted away
Far beyond the mountains
A prison for the sun and moon

3. Ninety-Nine Raids

Brigands from the east comrades in bloodshed invade the village none left alive
Town after town they pour in from beyond
Raise the blades the reavers will have their way

Raised in the fury of battle years bleed together
Ninety-nine raids until he was brought down

Finish them all stride from the smoke burn the long hall a path declared by a sword
He writes his legacy in blood doors hang from hinges the plague marches on long killing years
The buildings burn he does not dream cries borne on cold winds his name was lost long ago

4. Forgotten Minion

The woods are gone a place where stars shine he tells the thoughts of others
Forgotten a thankless errand they abandoned him
The rain has turned cold lost halcyon
The minion is forgotten the minion is forgotten

The woods are gone the stars arranged by his lord winds carry
Forgotten a thankless errand they abandoned him
The rain has turned cold lost halcyon
The minion is forgotten the minion is forgotten

5. Summon The Stone Throwers

Boulders sit in a cave in the west the sun is obscured by smoke
Deep groans of the elders nine centuries in the dark

Repel the attackers put swords to their necks crows speed overhead
Repel the attackers put swords to their necks
Blow the ancient horn summon the stone throwers

In the wending hollows their flat heads rise from the dirt
the beasts of war ready the granite storm to the castle walls

Repel the attackers put swords to their necks crows speed overhead
Repel the attackers put swords to their necks blow the ancient horn
The walls have collapsed the siege machines roll
Blow the ancient horn summon the stone throwers
The beasts of war ready the granite storm

6. Colossal Glaciers

Pale mass mouths and bellies filled with ice from the old freeze
The tundra cracks preserved for judgement
The dormant ones adrift in the north
Colossal glaciers

Countless millennia a shadow on the shore
One billion tons eyes stare out from within
Colossal glaciers

7. The Tarnished Crown

A heavy shadow sits beside the renegade king the courtyard is deserted
He wears the tarnished crown

The collapse of an era bent ones do not raise their heads
He wears the tarnished crown
