The Golden Bough

from Syncretic Sovereignty by Sol Anahata

/

lyrics

An altar, a city, a people
Engulfed in the flames
No Gods dare snuff the ire of these sons of war and rage
A beating heart syncs rhythm to blood
Swelling a symphony of gold and soul
Hammering down
Shaking the ground
This land is theirs to take

This is where Aeneas began
Brought the Golden Bough to Charon
And I crossed the river Lethe
To embrace my kin to come again
Again and again, we all rise again

Rain to a flame
The smoke rose and claimed
The unshackled traitors of all that is green
The deafening cries of the faithless fell
Before their accursed tribe was bound to hell

Corrosion in flesh
Lifeless in thrums
The iron chants
The soul reforms
Intoxicated by the fruits of valor
For beauty rests by sword and shield

There subsists within the blight, a shimmering mantra for the chosen.
And it is heard by all those who yet possess the soul gifted to them by flesh now lost.
The spell sounds out from all safehavens left in this perilous realm
And its words are as such

"We who conquer death ne’er die
Our mother earth and father sky
Though iron wanes, and brothers will fall
It's the eternal us
Against them all"

The rites of the slain
Were chanted through pain
As the living were felled in the mud and the rain
The brooding heart of noble ire
The thunderous thrum of noble sons
To die with steel while bathed in mud
This is the creed of noble blood

Ascend higher and higher
So that in your fall you may burn brighter
Brighter than any who came before
Lighter,
So that in your dream's wake
You will be reborn again
