Order Of Orias Ablaze 1. Blood to Dust Ground to dirt,N/Ever to fall! Drowned in the fires of a wrathful God Consume me, thy flames complete me Make me ash upon the grave of life Crushed to dust, never to crawl Angel sing the psalms of a burning God! Immolate this flesh, extinguish the spark As ashes fly forth, a low herald Of the birth of a rising sun! Anguish shall visit, Our barren hearts Our blood, our skin, To be burst apart This day, heaving with life under sulphurous skies, Hangs the sword of death And anguish shall visit our hearts, As the dust begins to fall Cloaking the flesh of the quivering earth Cursed my heart and cursed my womb, And cursed my light and hope beneath this gathering doom This is my blood, my skin, my heart, Gleaming bright with poisoned life Thus I am desolate within desolate lands, Cursed, sundered and made as ash upon a thousand blades 2. Gleaming Night And I will pluch out your heart like a rotting fruit, Retching forth the meat into the mouths of the sick And I will heave your children into the purity of fire, Ending hope with a blade through the cunt of GOD Dead and doomed, thy soul is broken and doomed, No call, no cry, no roaring scream for true salvation Your lethargy condemns thee, I curse and abuse thee, I have no hands to lay upon thee, no truthful gift Beside the relief of poison through thy veins So I will make thy soil waste Choked with the bloody waters of a thousand throats And I will tear from your crown Fistfuls of brilliant light To wear as my own Resplendent, I am shining bright A vile glow to eclipse your own! Forever above all It comes, it comes for you! Rays of death to burn your flesh, And drag you to see I will drink my death from the cup of new found life Come to me with eyes of need, Tongue cracked, broken, sore And I will turn water to sand, To feed the mouths of my own Come to me with lungs of fire, Fierce with scorn, fierce and loud! Roar with me before the pyre, Speared with thorns, high and proud! 3. Raging Idols Stinking streams of burning blood This rotten incense of lowliness Torn from undying sin Curled around my heart This night of nights for evermore A fervent darkness inflamed Beneath the stare of raging idols The heaving mass moans Cast inward, toward the depths Lurk horrors before my altar Thus I see, And swarm as a tide of locusts, Choking a thousand throats In me, through me, of thee! The unbowed tree, of putrid fruit In me, through me, of thee! Spreads the shining venom of God Twisted hope, Broken and made anew Communion, Of broken blades Stinking blood, And ashen mouths Hopeless Boundless Eyeless I am the serpents tongue, Dragon blooded - fire veined Devouring beast of burning waters, The fervent darkness inflamed 4. Snares and Thorns A wicked glow explodes! Amidst this churning haze, The tangled limb grows Ripped from snares, thorns, My grail of life is turned, Heaving hate and scorn Come now, let it begin! A thousand throats will roar, On this day of sin! Let every faithful man, Be wooed for the pyre Crowned in brass, Reign of stone, Entombed in glass, The dead enthroned Streaming - ceaseless flood, I am born again within this blood Freed now from chains of regret, To hang around another's neck Soaring - cracked and bent Weaving strings of sin, Flung forth as golden nets And so righteous judgement comes, To rape the hope of tomorrow Raging fires, blackened limbs, Hell has come to lay itself, As an iron weight of ruin, Upon an infants' back Blessed to burn in eternal fire Savage pride, vicious glory, Bear it now with joy and might As the tongue of death cackles, Like a jubilant plague 5. Crowned in Brass Worm, reveal thyself as the craven spirit, of the corrupt and weak. Who viciously bleed the sinking twilight, of the holy mind. Lord, come. Weep and tremble with a righteous fury at this decline. Claim your retribution. Rotten Angel, revered opposer, O Angelstar, Grant me the Abyss. Descend and upend the bronze cup of rebirth. And scream with a voice that is thunder! Etched in skin, sin of sins, Plunge thee deep into the veins of wonder. And thy false sun will crack as glass, And surround thy head with a shameful crown Of glittering brass. There, beneath life's shattering weight Spine twisted and bending low, You who toil on the squirming path With heart gasping and slow, No peace, no respite, no hopeful hours Come swiftly upon thy head. For I will be your scythe With eyes burning like a thousand stars, And my path will be washed clean. Immaculate with the steaming blood, Of a reforged heart. 6. Dawning Light Here and now! High and proud! The molten blood of kings, Rages, with strength most dire Life through rotting veins Disaster flesh, put to the fire, Purging the sins of endless need Sucking holes to rend and bleed, And be born again Cold and dark! Within and without! Above broken stone and mold, Hanging low the sword of death Wound me now, tear within... Dawning light, an exile here, A weak relief that bears ceaseless shame For the beast that shines need only, To hear his name The signs of the end are all around us, etched in fire by the left hand of God Wail! The lord of light, Has declared disaster against you! Failed! Our words prevail, As silver drawn from the sour earth! An empire at it's height, reflected in polished gold Coughing up the dust of dead devotions Return, Return! Breather of Light Bound and Blind! Rejoice in Fire Return, Return! Mover of Light Bound and Blind! Ignite my Pyre
