Beowulf 05:48
There once ruled a Danish king Descent from a greater sire Successful across his reign He feasts as loud as thunder Arise! The noise - awakes - inflames an ancient monstrous demon Descended - from Cain the monster’s titled Grendel The years of fear and death are over An end to suffering is closer The wrath of Cain is burning under The creature’s head will rest asunder Rise! No spear, no sword He fights the beast unguarded One strike, one hit He leaves the demon armless Beholden! Delighted! The hero’s undefeated Rewarded - with treasure His victory’s a pleasure The years of fear and death are over The kingdom’s nightmares end is closer The wrath of Cain no long burns under The creature’s arm now rests asunder No! The creature’s mother came to seek revenge Another challenge for Beowulf He grabs his sword, a weapon forged for giants Filled up with rage, no fear can kill his anger The witch attacks, misreads the warrior’s actions He swings his sword, and kills the fuming swamp-hag His fame spreads wide, across the foreign lands Soon he’ll ascend to the throne of the Geats And then one day, a dragon will emerge He spreads destruction, and Beowulf will DIE

Duat, land of death path of fate It’s the judgment day You, may be rich may be poor not all souls are pure Held, in the dark Eaten by sin Annubis, do your judgment Determine my guilt Each soul will pass the river of death Each man will walk to the land of the dead Matter won’t matter Inside the judgment hall All Kas are weak In front of Thoth I AM PURE OF SIN I am pure pure of sin I’ve satisfied all the gods Preserved my mind from the guilt OSIRIS JUDGE ME Each soul will pass the river of death Each man will walk to the land of the dead Matter won’t matter Inside the judgment hall All Kas are weak In front of Thoth

Titanomachy 04:26
War, Death, Battle up in the skies Between, Gods and Titans Gods, up on mount Olympus Titans on Othrys No one’s walking away Not Zeus nor Cronus Will the old pantheon fall Or will it rise again The world is at stake Long, before the wars begin The world belonged to Titans Uranus was their leader He was a fucking tyrant His wife gave her kids A massive sickle They mutilated him And Cronus took the throne OH He too a tyrant NO Cronus ate his children ZEUS He got away RHEA She tricked the Tyrant SHE Made him sick HE Throws up their children NOW They are free DAYS! WEEKS! Year after year. Zeus and his siblings no longer feel fear The battle begins It lasted ten years The titan has fallen His fate is now clear In Tartaus he will forever be held The light of the sun he is gonna forget Zeus, now rules on this Earth The ruler of mortals and gods till this day

Cosmology 05:33
Once, at the dawn of time There stood eternal silence Chaotic darkness Enclosed by ice and fire Day after day They both attract each other Frost met the flames The ice melt by the fire All nine worlds, beggining to form Assembling Endless pit, beginning to fill with daylight Drops of the melted ice Formed up a godlike giant Hermaphrodite like worms His sweat gave birth to others Another melted splash Emerged a primal cattle Her warm tongue melt the ice From where the Aesir gods would rise Buri! Bor! The Aesir gods tribe’s firstborns Bestla! Bor! Their sons half-god half-giant Vili! Ve! The one-eyed father’s brothers They slay! They kill! They three will slaughter Ymir The giant’s corpse lays still While Aesir gods form worlds His blood, makes oceans The rotting skin is soil His skull, blue skies Two trunks, Embla and Ask In Midgard, they dwell While death is what created life! All nine worlds, beggining to form Assembling Endless pit, beginning to fill with daylight

Day and night Divided light and darkness The sun rises and falls Because of ancient wars A battle between good and evil Chernobog! The lord of darkness, an evil god He’s sick of living in exile He wants revenge on the human world The god transforms into a black serpent It crawls out of its hiding lair Corrupting, the people on his passage Assembling an army to conquer the world But, Svarog, protector of men The god sensed, that something was wrong He stroke his hammer, against the fiery forge Creating gods to help him Chernobog! The lord of darkness, an evil god He’s sick of living in exile He wants revenge on the human world Gods, born through the forge’s fire Descend to the world of men They see that a war is coming Svarog needs to arm his warriors up Chernobog’s corrupted army Fought through the heavenly gates Svarog made a chest of magic Where they trapped the beast till the end of his days Half world, was still corrupted The all mighty, spared them all They lived, on one condition That darkness won’t conquer the world in whole Half world, shines in daylight The other half, with a dark soul Until today, still split in cycles Day and night as we know it all

Out in the cold I walk alone The air here feels haunting The misty shadows grow Noises, right and left I’m feeling a presence It stalks me like pray I take a look, behind my back Nobody’s here, I turn straight ahead Surprice! A woman stands there! Wearing a mask, hiding her face Her soul dark like night’s sky Reflecting her horrible past through her eyes Once, there was a married couple A girl, and a samurai For long they lived together Ages ago, in Japan But, the wife’s beauty It conquered her feelings, it crawled in her head The husband caught her cheating He drew his sward, and took her beauty away (In Japanese) «Am I pretty?» «Yes» «Am. I. pretty..» No! No! Her mouth is sliced from ear to ear While my body is sweating from fear She is staring at me So-so, is my answer She’s confused while I run like a madman I think I escaped from her eyes But I’m not so sure, I may be dead by sunrise Finally, I went home What a day, I go straight in my bed As, I close my eyes I feel her cold blade go straight through my heart
