lyrics

A kingdom wrought in grandeur and misery
Renaissance beauty disease and dysentery
A King who plots and murders citizenry
Art, science, and a ravenous monarchy.

We are furtive knights of this holy city
Serving the crown the land and his majesty
Tasked with vengeance we are knights of fear
Sacred order, black arts and a secret society

The oath we’ve vowed,
Has us bound
In shadows we prowl
The king’s hounds

I was ordained by flaying my skin
Scarred and maimed I forsake my sin
Cloaked in shade, my journey begins.

Possessed by a demon
Directive conceived
By the devil’s bidding
And his plans for thee
A lust worth filling
For his majesty.

An alley of garbage and shadows deep
It’s you I’ll ravage it’s you I seek
Your life will vanish you cannot entreat
Like chopping cabbage you’re food for me

A runt to be murdered
Drawn and quartered
The king’s verdict

The jury is vengeance
A judge from heaven
Disembowel, vivisect
Behead and dissect

The king has passed his judgement
And found you guilty.
Your crimes lack atonement
And are heresy
I hereby enact the verdict
Of the Holy See
Sanctus equites mortis
By royal decree.

Bon, même si c'est un peu cliché à dire, ce deuxième album est plus mature et recherché que le premier, totalement concentré sur ce style de heavy qui leur est propre, et un peu moins kitsch, mais avec quelques soupçons d'épique par-ci par-là (notamment Godbreaker) On en vient juste à regretter l'indisponibilité des paroles qui empêche de savourer intégralement la musique. joH1
