Lyrics:
Hand of the maker
Sowed the seeds of a nation
Voice of the father
Sang to all in creation
Eyes of the wicked
Cast down in his presence
Heart of the blessed
Strong and of his purpose

Decreed by the one, the all
He strayed and became vassal
Forsaker of his home, his hearth
A nomad's life was then lived

Across untold, endless wastes
Judgment hath come for the sadists
Gomorrah turned to dust as ordered by the blind one
Reverence of the black led them to their wretched end

As this was absolution
Infallible, Unknowable
Ne'er to pose an objection
This; his test-a charge, a trial
For his own blood
Was bound by fervor
Leashed and shackled
To which flesh is heir

Sight renounced
Pride entranced
For solace
For madness

It was not, was not known
What this would, this would bring
The fey lord was overthrown
When lechers seared the tapestry
Wanton ruin done in his name
Balance brought through numberless mistakes

Descension to the depths
Negation of the three paths

Obsidian
This choice of his
A diadem
Engraved with lies
