The Acclamation Of Bonds

Emperor

Vide

Ravens caw in reverence

Anthems to the Welkin at dusk

In celebration of the few

The kin

Beyond flesh

Beyond words

Those of the core

Beyond gods

As gods received

I float among them

On wings once broken

Now gleaming black

I share their song

Of words unspoken

Cries of the past



In times of fiendish tempest

Bloodlust turns against the coil

Hungry for the fall

I greet the pit

Blind Savage

Cursing Life



Yet, at the moment of my final step

The hands and golden chains are given

Bidding me that which can not be deprived

The bonds of trust and unity

Till the end



Brethren and sisters of my circle

I acclaim thee all

When guiding stars are clouded and deranged

Fear not to take my hand



The bonds of trust and unity

As gods received

Till the end
