The First Blade

Unsheathe Trust into the void To walk in the shadows Of better men Firstborn The final chapter Holding the means To see hereafter Not for power Nor veneration These benighted worlds Condign only annihilation The path of exaltation To truths you wish you'd never known Forever unforgiven We hunt for those who fell In the name of absolution These fallen must be slain For only though salvation Can we redeem our shame When honour is torn down And valour holds no place With the power of suns In the palm of our hands Only vigilance prevails Each contrition Etched in blood Clandestine our cloak Tethered to our transgressions The path of exaltation To truths you wish you'd never known Forever unforgiven We hunt for those who fell In the name of absolution These fallen must be slain For only though salvation Can we redeem our shame In the face of ruination Our sins we must confine As fire serves To clear the soil Only faith will Seed these basis
