Black Banners in Flames

Deep in the mountains of the once summer lands

Where fierce Capricorn display their horns in defiance

Where ancient fires still burn in their ancient shrines

Veneration in the shade of seven towers

Devote worship of the peacock-feathered angel

Dark traditions survive the woes of time

Fallen pride bestowing wisdom on mankind

Prime angel who bows before no lord

Obscure whispers under many conquering crowns

Semblance of Shaitan traced to ancient heresies

Proselytism on the rise

Extermination looms overhead

Desecration of the sacred shrines

And decapitators wield their blunted blades

Black banners rise

Religious genocide

Black banners burning

Yet the angel stands upright

Banners in black

Banners in flames

These banners burn

Banners aflame

Mass extermination, Neo-Caliphate conversion

Delivery to slavery and death

Monotheist aberration, rabid extremism

True interpretation of the book

Merciless persecution, thousands driven from their homes

Sanctuary they find not

Thousands being captured, thousands being slaughtered

Yet still the flame carries on

Banners in black

Banners in flames

These banners burn

Banners aflame

Banners in black

Banners in flames

These banners burn

Banners aflame

Ceaseless barbarism, endless antagonism

For the building of the martyr state

Arrogant expansion through warfare inhumane

These banners cannot hold the storm

Obscure whispers under many conquering crowns

Semblance of Sheitan traced to heresies primeval

Whose flame still burn while zealot is destroyed

Visions lie in shatters, the prophet's dreams in tears
