Lyrics Xanthochroid

Xanthochroid

Long Live Our Lifeless King

Do not reject me

If I should not continue on

Then let me freeze

Freeze again to death

If she will receive me

Then through these gates

I must proceed

Erthe's very womb

From whence all were born

I taste the stench of death

My sight grows sharp

My breath is steady

He hides behind

Monuments to progress

"Lights that blind"

Hail! to the Thane of Thule!

Born of ashes, born to rule!

"We exalt your glory"

And bring from afar riches and

Offerings fit for a king

(You are no king)

Hail! To a foolish boy

Whose Relicry is but a ploy

"Who is falsely burdened"

With the charge of an absent god

You so brutally wronged

Brother, relinquish your crown

(Your time has come)

I have earned the right

I have sacrificed

Years of my life

My dignity and my pride

To bring man erthly light

I come to bear witness

Iron pillars will turn to

Ashes as you fall

Not with splendor

But with a sigh

You think you have suffered?

I've endured things far worse than pain,

I'll make you taste Death

How easily he fell

A hollow empty shell:

Behold your lifeless King!
