Old Blood

Seek the blood, the sanguine
The ichor of the gods
It’s flowing through my heart
And out from the tomb
Any way we go now
Under a cosmic sky
We go with insight
Of the unseen

In silence
We go forth
In violence

But we won’t forget the adage

Bloody vials revive us
Healing flesh and bone
Sightless though awoken
Our eyes are yet to open
Fear the Old Blood
Fear the Old Blood

Speak these words and exsanguinate
Each and evеry foe
Blood flowing in the streets
And out from the womb
Shriеking, bare, ineffable
A nightmare newly born
Delivered in twilight
Unseen

In silence
We go forth
In violence

But we won’t forget the adage

Bloody vials revive us
Healing flesh and bone
Sightless though awoken
Our eyes are yet to open
Fear the Old Blood
Fear the Old Blood

If ever we despair
Adrift and unprepared
Will mother Kosm hear our prayers?

Speak these words and
Ascend in twilight
Fear this curse
And descend in violence

Restrain these hides
With ropes and ties
And line our minds
With endless eyes
We’ve set our staves alight
But will they guide us through the night?
We’ve set our eyes on high
But will we ever meet the sky?
Arise

In silence
We go forth
In violence
In silence
We go forth
In violence
In violence

But we won’t forget the adage

Bloody vials revive us
Healing flesh and bone
But Sightless though awoken
Our eyes are yet to open
Fear the Old Blood
Fear the Old Blood
