The Ash Omen (feat. Joe Rees)

from Apokalypsis by Wraithborn

lyrics

Since that night in 1765,
I’ve known only triumph.
The chosen of the god-king,
Vyakzkaa of the Vale.
Through tricks and witchcraft,
I made my way to kings,
taking thrones,
slaying armies,
laying waste to those who defy.

I am Xelvellol,
Harbinger of End Times,
Bringer of the Night.
Lord of Humanity,
Right hand of our Holy King.

The Onyx Throne I sit upon
once sat a weakling king.
Bastien filled his role,
and gifted my that weakling’s head.
Now from here I lead endless armies,
to spread endless death.
I yearn for the chance again,
to join them in the hunt.

I cannot count the sacrifices that have been made.
The War Chiefs tell me my soldiers take ten million a day.

Chief Tsuul of the Mediterranean War Front approaches,

Xel: “What word bring you now, Tsuul,
tell me of your conquests”

Tsuul: “My lord, I regret to inform you that we have encountered…unexpected interruptions coming from deep within the ottoman empire. Within the last three days, our operations in Greece have fallen to a complete standstill.”

Xel: “Have they? Everything has progressed without the slightest miscalculation thus far. Would you mind explaining to me what exactly the problem is?”

Tsuul: “Approximately a week ago, Chief Adrekk stopped reporting back. Search parties were sent after him, but they too did not return. After several days, we could not afford to keep stalling. I ordered the Warfront march on. Three days ago, we came across Adrekk and the search parties.”

Xel: “Continue…”

Tsuul: “My lord, the men lay in a field of cinder, and all of their eyes had been burned out. We rushed to their sides, and asked them what events transpired, but they just repeated, endlessly, ‘Eschaton will unleash the Ash Omen upon the usurper.’”

Xel: “So, Eschaton has finally decided to show their faces again, have they?”

Tsuul: “Xel, we were not prepared for Eschaton. We thought them eradicated, we were not ready for this.”

Xel: “Gather the other Warchiefs, we must not make another move until we devised a new strategy do you understand me?”

Tsuul: “Yes, my lord, i understand. But what if they strike before us?”

Xel: “If they strike before us, then may the God King have mercy upon our souls.”
