Paroles de Slayeress Of Kings

Cycle has come to another end, Macha's birds chant for regicide [Refrain:] The ancient oath must be fullfilled, before his spirit's candle grows faint The blood of kings tonight shall be spilled before his vigour shows a first stain Sharpen the blade, crescent of lunar silver, horns of the minotaur Rite of the axe, key to her labyrinth, mingle eternally Cast down to sleep, all those who reign, in ruinous decadence Great ivory queen, shall ride the beast, once again [Refrain] "Descend into the void, where threefold mater thrones in solitude" *To dance towards the monolith, Great Mother reaps his divine soul,* *To dance the spiral outward with a grain divine for a king reborn* "Arise again from nothingness, to bear the primordial fate" The stones begin to sing their song of vengeance The horn-crowned scapegoats govern far too long The peasants sweep clean the battlefields and The children of night behead all horizons
