lyrics

Our army exhumed— still ruled by a most unholy oath. Conjured back, disinterred by pious words of worship from your drones. No taking up of snakes or ritual spastic throes, nor centuries of Hail Marys could consecrate our souls. All blessing hands severed by our blades. The reign of the five points encircled/inverted/set ablaze; heralded by the locust wind, ashen plains, and a swarm unrivaled— hive mind legion led to battle, come forth to smite these sycophantic followers of Christ. Devoid of any reticence, heaven hopes or cowardice, this writhing cloud of messianic doubt envelopes all. The entropic asymmetry of scabbard-rattling cacophony echoes out. Armored to our rotten teeth, the bellowing of raucous beasts resounds— a horrible sound.
The pale horse leads the charge of this infernal march. All shall be made plain in our lord's unholy name. No shield (wrought, or incantation from pointless prayer) shall blunt the edges of spear and piercing blade. The shade of our phalanx descends to desecrate. My brothers in arms, take up your vow and its mantle. Restore the horror of our name. We are the death knell.
Our banners unfurled, and hell followed with.
