Ullanumma ud , Ezeru asru sumsu Akkad Baltu as sarrum, Ni dugnamtar, Ne simtum In a time before time itself, in a land who’s name is only spoken in hushed whispers by sages and fools, lived a king. This is his tale…
2.
In the old town by full moon, old wives tell of a tale Mad king who sought to bring, death on the realm Once he ruled noble and beloved by all Yet tragedy’s embrace the mad king would befall Accursed rule conceived in blood, wrought in bone Demonic influence seeps, the pained mind to hold Serpent of the gods, reanimate this tormented soul The king’s suffering would soon be felt by all Spiralled to madness by the loss of his love Shortly thereafter executions begun Nobles and priests sought to placate his grief Yet to his suffering, there would be no relief Accursed rule… To restore the warmth of life into thy tomb I condemn this realm to eternal doom To this realm of shadows Bound long after death Awake from cursed slumber Drawing fetid breath To restore the warmth of life into my queen’s tomb I consign thee mortals to eternal doom Under my rule…

Hear the shrieks and the howls, and the razor thin growls Of the things that go bump in the night Unease starts to grow, as your neck starts to crawl Premonition of incoming fright Within the subconscious, alarming, ferocious, Warning sinister threat yet unseen Hair stands on end, as your breath quickens and Neurons poised up to fight or to flee Survival horror, sanity fades Instinct takes over, no time for games Spectral Domain Since the beginning of time, in the long hours of night Primeval instincts take hold Decipher the patterns lurking in the darkness A threat from the shadows unfolds A flicker, a sound, as your chest starts to pound, Hair stands on end like a string Your skin starts to shiver as your pulse starts to quicken Now strike or be struck by the unseen.

Behold the blade in frost it mourns Gripping death, reaping souls Runes carved in necromantic speak Reanimate the armies for the lich Transgressor Lich King Not quite living, not quite dead Baneful existence dark lord of the damned Scepter of serpents, a scourge unleashed Claim the risen souls for the lich Transgressor Lich King

Lament 01:30
Atop the mound by the castle walls The banshee mourns alone A spectral figure, memory of old The banshee weeps alone Cannot recall who she once was A queen so fair and just Yet she breathes the air of betrayal By the king who was once her love Kings, queens, cursed kin A sin not hers to own Atop the hill, haunted scream Sends chills down to the bone As the banshee mourns alone Roaming on the blackened sands Seeking solace, tarnished sense Only one thought in her doom-filled thoughts Of peace found in revenge Kings, queens, cursed kin A sin not hers to hold Atop the hill, haunted scream Sends chills down to the bone Anguish, grief, cursed dreams A fate far worse than death Suffering, the banshee screams For peace found in revenge The banshee seeks revenge…
6.
From the castle keep Ear piercing scream Chills run down your spine Banshee taking flight Summoned from the grave Peace denied by fate Robbed of final rest Preicament worse than death Awakens from tormented dream Unleashing an anguished filled scream Fly, Banshee queen of war Spectral wings now soar Spirit force unleashed, the undead cry for peace Fly, transcend time and space Manifest of hate Spirits mourning rise, dread talons set to strike Cursed to debt not owed Set by her betrothed Afterlife not met Doomed to roam the land No death can dethrone A queen by fate scorned Haunt of vengeance set Wings of hatred spread Awakens from tormented dream Unleashing an anguished filled scream Fly, Banshee queen of war Spectral wings now soar Spirit force unleashed, the undead cry for peace Fly, transcend time and space Manifest of hate Spirits mourning rise, dread talons set to strike

King, of the dead, befouler be damned Tonight, it all comes to an end On this night, the undead unite Under the banshee shriek cry For revenge, to lift this curse To break the lich king’s foul spell Ashes to ashes, for all that is just This kingdom shall crumble to dust Master of the underworld, we’re no longer pawns, To your machinations of life forevermore, We march on the road to hell, with good intentions paved Hear the cries of the damned, longing for the grave Grave of salvation, reanimate redemption Eternal rest won’t be denied, solace of the tomb We seek what was taken, oblivion’s warm womb Boney limbs wield rusted swords, who’s scabbards long decayed Mournful cries from tattered lungs, calling for the grave Grave of salvation, reanimate redemption so Fight The undead for vengeance now Fight Cries of the accursed rip the night
8.
Laughing and crying Killing the undying No road to redemption Unholy procession My queen now she loathes me My armies turned on me Anur en Ganzer Horizon lord darkness Grief counseled poorly Only one path before me To undo the destruction I must succumb to corruption Return to the temple The serpent now beckons Strike one more bargain I resign to the darkness To thy embrace I resign Thou may take all that is mine Wishes granted did come true In twisted form warped by you Demonic djin for one last time I invoke thee, take my life
9.
You seek another bargain Restore the souls fouled by thy plan A path towards atonement The price must be met Souls claimed by the master Can only be repaid in kind Forever in his servitude You shall abide Gaze beyond the pale horizon Behold eternity awaits Time no longer holds a meaning Forever these waters you shall sail Claim all their sons and daughters Reap the harvest of souls Take their life force and essence Kur hungers for more Temple of the serpent Where Enlil you did fist deny Return there to be baptised Reborn as death’s scythe A king without a kingdom Now minion of the demon lord An eternity of servitude In blood and bone wrought Gaze…
10.
Mighty warriors take the field Plains of death their fate revealed Duel the ferryman, earn their place To cross beyond Namtar’s gates Celestial blades, in eternal strife Thunder cracks when steel meets scythe Reaper’s grin, a mirthless gaze Lightning cracks as souls are razed Eyes of death, mirror of decay Oblivion the price to pay In eternal, battle of will Earn their place in Eridian fields Reaper swings and the ground shakes Each glancing blow spews putrid plague Dodge the attack, escape the realm Valiant warriors take the helm Sail, through the gates of Namtar To the garden of the Gods In Eridian fields glory awaits Celestial blades fight for glory and honor, celestial blades fight for glory in death Sail, through the gates of Namtar To the garden of the Gods In Eridian fields glory awaits….
