Absu - The Winter Zephyr

One silver cloud collapsed below the glow of a harvest fullmoon.
`Cause we're here to make an oath and we'll raise our realm in a sky of maroon.
Our stratosphere turned dark; however, the Western winds never stopped blowing.
All deceiving religions fall, we'll gonna close our hands, and make our own
way.
[Chorus x 2]
Ignite the wroth flames -
3 fires to the sky
Before the violence,
We stand before the most, wild beast.
We'll rape the peace.
Once again,
We summon you,
To join us all!
Standing upon the sand of the shores was a Queen, with a crown, of 13 stars.
She worships the dragon above, which exalts impiety in that wild beast.
Our father is here with us and we'll summon you to join us.
If we're bonded by jewels and blood on our fists, then we hail you within
kingdoms of mist.
[Repeat Chorus x 2]
Gorias! (The silver sword of the moon)
Finias! (The flaming lancet of the sun)
The winter zephyr warps the power of Sessair - 3 MORBID SCREAMS!

Absu - Swords and Leather

...With sword at my side,
The horns sound the call of assembly.
Black fuckin' leather is my way of life, as flames and burning winds cover the
Earth!
(SLAUGHTER!!)
Miles of frozen lands are far behind us...
We ride along the margin of the woods.
O' great is the black swords of Eire.
Thus to speak is the shame of your lord.
We ride through the bleak winter skies; hearts full of hate and steel shining
bright!
Alas, it's ill, to walk in my shadow...
O' master of doom, you are alone.
In chariots of fire we went forth,
To call the spell of blazing flames.
My black sword of Eire has returned.
In glory, of the land, of the flame.
Child of wisdom and words...
Son of magick and the sword.
Call the spells of burning winds!!
[Chorus]
SWORDS AND LEATHER - ...with steel, flame, and honor!!
SWORDS AND LEATHER - ...our brave hearts will conquer!!
SWORDS AND LEATHER - ...with steel, flame, and honor!!
SWORDS AND LEATHER - ...our Celtic blood will conquer!!
[Repeat All Verses & Chorus]
[Lead: Ifernain]

...With sword at my side,
The horns sound the call of assembly.
Black fuckin' leather is our way of life, as flames and burning winds cover

Absu - Prelusion to Cythraul

Any who live alone, long only for mercy, the mercy of truth is among your
traits of bloodlust and vein. You have not, in all this time, returned to the
lowland of your ancestors. Your feet follow a hoof-beaten, dirt track down the
side of a small, grass-covered knoll. It is near the round hillfort that your
cavaliers call the dun. The ways of the arcane are more difficult hillfort
that words can tell. You are in complete isolation from this mortal exibition,
as others will be, in due time. Each day at dawn, you speak to yourself and
give your thoughts complete utterance. For there are none surviving now, to
whom you would freely speak with, so impart your heart's desire.
You, the oppressor, will need to learn to chain your mind, to wait for the
proper time to speak. Nevertheless, you shall be executed from the creed,
under the sigil of the blade, then the number. In an instant, the feeble and
the foreigners lie North from here. In an instant, a magician, shadowlord, and
tyrant raised their powers above your head. You are separated from your kin,
by far distance, of Time and Tide. You will remember your comrades well, as
they replenish your memory with an immortal essence of everlastingness. And
though you will only see shades of what once was, you will hear their songs
and music forever.
As golden lamplight escapes from the bleeding skies, winsome peat smoke
scents a chilled breeze that enfolds the imperious settlement, gathering
sounds, and lifts the brave into the night. You shall recall the winter
zephyr, as those were the winds that passed eternity.
The Emperor continued to breathe deep and harshly. His lungs sounded a death
rattle, as they were quickly filling with blood and various fluids, Before his
death and dissolution, the Emperor sluggishly uttered, I have granted
intelligence towards the crown unto thee. If you teach him well.....
Here and now, we shall take you within The Third Storm Of Cythraul. It's only
just begun.....

Absu - Of Celtic Fire, We Are Born

Outside the winter zephyr,
When fables of sabers were strong.
...For thou hast said in our hearts...
...From Celtic flames, we are born.
The Sky Clad flocks a carnal war,
So invoke their heartless cries.
Crom Croich's at our side.
He's made of gold, so shall we ride?
From the mounts of Antrim,
Towards the glens of Visnech.
...For thou has said in our hearts...
...From Celtic flames, we are born.
Any who live alone,
Long onlt for mercy.
Proud, young men will die!
Fir Bolg rides the half light!
WE HAVE ARRIVED AT THE STONE OF DESTINY (Tara).
WE HAVE REACHED THE PERDITION OF IBID (Cythraul).
We comprehend the Lar of the Folk.
Chuaigh muid ar na canai areir.
We solemnize the last of the Druids.
Chuaigh muid ar na canai areir.
FALIAS!
MURIAS!
[Leads: Shaftiel]
[Lead: Ifernain]
The passage is clear when Epona rides
She reaps through cloudbursts of rain that sighs
The course is laid when Sky Clad rides
Ler is watching -
Proud, young men will die!
We apprehend these thoughts: {Fea Nemon}.
Chuaigh muid ar na canai areir.
We shall live forever in the land of Inisfail.
Chuaigh muid ar na canai areir.
MURIAS!
FALIAS!

Absu - The Sun of Tiphareth

Join us into hresholds of moonless light
Xekonaphim paints your worshipped wheel of flames
Incendere Magi Hortus Rosarum
Black roses, laced with silver, are now the ashes of Heximeth
The sten stars of Assiah wonders why the meadows are torched
The holocaust of Atu brings down the pyre of Chokmah
Chokmah fills lust into the virgin stream (silent waters)
A Heximethian spirit looks below the edge of a cliff
...and watches the thieves of serpents
(worm of the eight-fold-star)
Join us into tresholds of moonless light
Xekonaphim paints your worshipped wheel of flames
Incedere Magi Hortus Rosarum
The sun of Tipareth's circle arouses the warlock and seed
Sephiroth plants your heart to grow his oak of VITRIOL
Sepher Yetzirah is the deepest root of Atu
the sun of Tiphareth's circle dances until it falls
Tiphareth!
Your lordship is the sixth sword that triumphs teh jagged blade
Strike it downward to a rusty point
...and burn the earth as roses burn in the meadow
Come forth, o serpent, and take your fill of poison
I am above you and I am inside you
My fierce eroticism is in yours
For he is ever a sun, and for he is the winged secret flame
I am the snake that kissed Gehenna's own worm
I giveth knowledge and delight to the ones
Black roses, laced with silver, are now the ashes of Heximeth
The ten stars of Assiah wonders why meadows are torched

Absu - And Shineth Unto the Cold Cometh

Laughter from Esharra is convincing, but unclaimed.
The last of Ka drifts across the river
- Our sky outside has not been named.
Two Ugalla-demons start their battle
- Tempest of the creek is floored in flames.
Winds of Imhullu foretold their weather
- Sea-dwelling floods reply without names.
Taste the salty tides of the Apzu
- Alight seven tablets wearing steel of lame.
Laughter from Esharra is convincing, but unclaimed.
[Chorus]
6000 years past away to let the Utu tribes hear the lying words against
Azzta's truth.
6000 years past away to let the Utu tribes hear the lying words against
Azzta's truth.
6000 years past away to let the Utu tribes hear the lying words against
Azzta's truth.
Ea's eye is the way........
[Repeat 1st Verse]
[Lead: Shaftel]
[Bridge]
We are the ones who know the mountain passes,
and we'll search the battlefields,
in order to FIND THE ESSENTIAL WEAPONS corroded within the tan dust.
Marduk, Anu, Ellil, and Ea watch us all to test our bold and drastic strength,
so Tiamat SNEERS WITH THE HATE AND COMMANDS the storm-chariot of the horses.
Their teeth and heart carry poison to strike us down,
but cannot fill our veins with venom.
We warned you twice:
WE COMMAND THE MUSHUSSU!
SHARP OF TOOTH AND STRIKE OF FANG!
HORNED SERPENT OF THE UNCLAIMED!
SHINE!
[2nd Verse]
Make a path, fix the hour, and raise the seed
The dragon's semen is what you drink to be crowned by night
Belet-ili, O great pythoness, kiss me!
Belet-ili, O great pythoness, kiss me!
With the billowing fog, the abyss speaks below
Your wings of force cannot warp you through the times
Belet-ili, O great pythoness, caress me!
Belet-ili, O great pythoness, caress me!
In the ninth aeon, Esharra ceases the laughter
Then, Imhulla assembles the blazing cycllone
Belet-ili, O great pythoness, embrace me!
Belet-ili, O great pythoness, embrace me!
Now you are spiritually drunk from the dragon's semen,
So set your arrow in the bow and coat it with the poison
Belet-ili, O great pythoness, clutch me!
Belet-ili, O great pythoness, clutch me!
...AND SHINETH UNTO THE COLD COMETH...

Absu - Ghland Tyrant Attack

You will hear my commands when cries never fade!
I grasp my pole-ax in hand with stock, steel, and mace!
I clutch the soulless winds that stir the Ginder trees!
I extol beneath a wrathful, yet a constant lunar eye!
The last clash will crown one son to the Pictish throne.
My father's the king! cries this tyrant, aimed for bloodshed.
Three flags will fly between the Esk and Dee rivers.
The triumph's my king! screams this baron son, devised for war.
Follow the tracks of this mailed horseman (geared with pole-ax in his hand).
The blades from Balkan Hills are sharpened (cut for slaying and whetted to
fight).
The child has proven his gallantry (he shall not abuse Teutonic codes).
He's spiked and sent forth in a frenzy (their king sits at his table).
[Repeat 1st Three Verses]
[Bridge]
Far free of these castle walls, I thought I heard your scream!
[Chorus]
THIS IS THE HIGHLAND TYRANT ATTACK!
They eradicate the feeble by their Celtic law of tanistry.
HIGHLAND TYRANT ATTACK!
The rank of the cnihthad is the onslaught for their enemies.
HIGHLAND TYRANT ATTACK!
Garters on their left arms are fastened for chivalry.
HIGHLAND TYRANT ATTACK!
All of the vanquished battalions are thrown into the corries.
HIGHLAND TYRANT ATTACK!
They eradicate the feeble by their Celtic law of tanistry.
HIGHLAND TYRANT ATTACK!
The rank of the cnihthad is the onslaught for their enemies.
HIGHLAND TYRANT ATTACK!
[Recapitulation]
Our flags have soared O'er the Esk and Dee rivers!
We, the cnihts, are crowned for tier and not our lies!
Horse and Hattock took us back to the realm of Balkan Hills!
We, the cnihts, have formed the lines, before the rites!
We'el pursue to spit on their pledge and curse them, as the light breaks!
...But is our king still sitting at his table?

Absu - Morbid Scream

[1st Verse]
A barbaric land where the sword is the law, and killing is the way of life.
An infernal wasteland and down a barren plain; A warrior stands the test of
fate.
His face is cracked from the wicked hands of time, and scars from war have
past,
Taking the reins from a shadowy steed, I shall kill the foyus at it's layer!
[Chorus x 2]
MORBID SCREAM!
[2nd Verse]
Skulls and bones lie relics in the sand; Remembrance of men that came before.
The ground is scorched from the dragon's breath, and corpses burned to stench
and ash.
I awake in fury when the dragon attacks; Advancing in anger - spitting fire.
Our barbarous laws, my thundering axe, yet we'll fight the beast to it's death!

Absu - Never Blow Out the Eastern Candle

Never Blow Out The Eastern Candle
Your five-fold kiss was rather invoking;
Beside the chancel is your unphallic wand,
And use it wisely in order to fly.
MOONFIRE!
ALLAXITOS!
My jewel is the lust from your kiss;
Your breasts made me the lover of the three-fold locus,
So take thy hand and join me for elixir,
And we shall ride the portentous serpent tonight.
Your five fold tongue has defiled me,
I'm stranded by the tree of Storax
Thus, we banish your unphallic wand,
In order to make our nexus ecstasy
MOONFIRE!
CUM TO ME.
ALLAXITOS!
CUM WITH THEE.
NEVER BLOW OUT THE EASTERN CANDLE!
NEVER BLOW OUT THE EASTERN CANDLE!
NEVER BLOW OUT THE EASTERN CANDLE!

They stare towards the heart
They stare at the stone
He'll upend the plate of angles;
She'll upend the plate of angles
V dashes of Mercury
And Asarus Alchemy
Will channel V archangels... V archangels
[Chorus I:]
In the Sun we remember;
In the planets we forget
We've come unto a hall and Asaru is who we've met
Huluppu roots are forked
Like veins in a canny hand;
Their leaves have scuttled
In spiraled force
A VI fold nova,
Fleurs de lys...
V cards are placed in the hand of the course.

O' Abyssia we recall;
In spiraled force, they will fall
Man, staff and the silver gilt key shall take us to

Closure is the apex;
One curve is the asp,

These twins are emerging,
Geminis still verging,
Yet Atu still carries the knife.

Absu - A Quest Into the 77th Novel

Long ago
-in the shade of timberlands
Horses and wolves united
-with our invoking orbit
In order to blister
-the green summer plains
We heard commands
-from our benighted master:
Reap from the illumated sky
...and become visible to thy eye!
I beseech thee; I entreat me
O circle of storms, my shield is cracked!
We stand here to cultivate
And summon smoke from the meadow
A sweep of an athame
(The widdershin), willunlock the deep portals
Long ago
-in the shade of timberlands
Horses and wolves united
-with our invoking orbit
In order to blister
-the green summer plains
We heard commands
-from our benighted master:
Ye overseer of the watchtowers below all clouds; we thank
you for framing the Rite of Hagiel. Bygone and beyond, we
must always and without ease, be explused.
The season or solstice is complete when the shepherd of
Wolves lie upon vanishing hill's way. We shall lure thy
lost flock from shadows onto day.
Aloneness is our space of winged sleep and sight; therefore,
watchtowers burn before the lift of the twilight

Absu - The Coming of War

Evil
Summoned to war
Eternal conquest for power
Gathering armies of death
To fight and kill at will
Sinister weapons of war
Piercing metal and man
Warriors
Mounted on steeds
Ride out into the mist
Awaiting
The signal to attack
Swords clash and men fall to their death
Aimless pawn
Only to die by my hand
Battle cry
Blood stains upon his chest
Endless
Eternal Pain
Thousands die for a king
Wretched
Weary souls
Raging battle never ends
Hatred
Inflicting death
Destroying the weak at heart
Eternity
Becomes less
War has drawn to an end
Overthrown
The emperor falls in defeat
Great halls
Crack and decay with neglect
Dethroned
He cries out in vengeance
Impaler
Mark is words of death
Shadows
Crusades of the past
Triumph through the fog
Sunsets drip into dusk
Flows like blood on my blade
Massacre the feckless breed
Dismiss all empty thrones
Riding, beyond the clouds, damnation ends in despair
Awaiting
The signal to attack
Swords clash and men fall to their death
Aimless pawn
Only to die by my hand
Battle cry
Blood stains upon his chest

Absu - Pillars of Mercy

I (still) admire the flow of echoing horns.
Mimicking blows so boldly, I hear...
I stand visibly, high, on this splendid bastion,
To remember a High King, a tyrant of no fear
I am the first son: a commander without a father,
Fortuitous doom, the last of his predictions.
I'll take advantage by igniting the balusters...
Preparing enraged flames with sweltering speed.
[Chorus I - Cairn Warrior and Art Aenfer's War Exclamation (High King of Tara):]
(THESE ARE THE) PILLARS OF MERCY!
Today, I am callous...
Tomorrow, I am king -
Immortal, strong, exultant, and conquering!
[Chorus II:]
PILLARS OF MERCY!
My song and my word are iniquitous -
Gathering assemblies in days gone by!
[Chorus III:]
(FIRE BURNS WITH THE) PILLARS OF MERCY!
My chariot races through saw-toothed hills,
And hurls through every valley and mere!
[Chorus IV:]
PILLARS OF MERCY!
Watchtowers collapse before the lift of the twilight,
I am swift in battle-
My voice is heard!
PILLARS OF MERCY!
Frost, fire, and wind are pelting all the columns...
There is no dilution for them to fight again!
Only three chariots are seen on the charred plains -
Through all the throngs and clusters, lambs and stallions!
If you should speak to me now,
Then I will chamber Tara's pinnacle.
Why my father? Another damning scuffle?
I (still) admire the sound of echoing horns!
[Chorus V - Cairn Warrior and Art Aenfer's War Exclamation (High King of Tara):]
(THOSE WERE THE) PILLARS OF MERCY!
Frenzied vultures gnawed the necks of dead men,
As the sturdy, gilded columns had seethed!
[Chorus VI:]
PILLARS OF MERCY!
Enemies' blood spurted like volley sprigs-
The blustery fight was planned, then fought!
[Chorus VII:]
(FLAMES FLAYED ON THE) PILLARS OF MERCY!
Their vapid minds were troubled and sides were pierced-
And warlike deeds had been fulfilled!
[Chorus VIII:]
PILLARS OF MERCY!
We saluted chieftains on the regal Tara -
We hailed the tyrants that governed our waters!
PILLARS OF MERCY!
STRIKE!
[Terminus:]
There shall be no lack of dignity,
For those who oppose them.
[Repeat Terminus]
THERE WILL BE PILLARS OF MERCY!

Dripping ruptures

Nonetheless: linking stone to sky
Leveling: the tarns to the tides
Circulate: limpid-forming tears

The cosmic light is fading, as the shadow's won.

Absu - Stone of Destiny ( for Magh Slecht and Ard Righ)

We are three high kings in honor.
We are the midst of Dagda's spell -
We are three armored forces, and
We are the gold-torqued leaders.
Three wild horsemen:
Three fearless in combat -
Three gold-crowned conjurers of clash, yet
Three clannish chiefs from the Kingdom of Midhe...
The leading, foremost tyrant -
The subsequent tormentor, and
The past intimidator of Cythr¡ul
Are impending.
Has there ever been a better idol than Dagda?
Will there ever be a better icon than myself?
In the yes of myself, I fervently speak.
The trio goes out at dawn.
Fiercely, we plan to fight our assailants:
Three of us versus three thousand: complete.
In the eyes of myself, I adroitly scream!
WE WILL ARRIVE AT THE STONE OF DESTINY. (Tara)
WE WILL REACH THE PERDITION OF IBID. (Cythr¡ul)
INVINCIBLE: we are to their spears!
INTREPIDLY: we occupy our posts!
A FORECAST OF DESTINY!
INVISIBLE: they are to their hands!
INSOLENTLY: they amuse their own pride!
INTERCHANGEABILITY: INNERCHANGEABILITY!
With the sway of myself, weather means disaster.
I affirm each day for the men of the brave.
[Repeat Verse]
As our swords of steel, their mead, and courage are fused.
Is it not the throne for our Master of the Gulch?
On its trim are rings of pearls, polished.
One seat remains near the jaded citadel.
[First Supposition - Narration:]
The plains of adoration do lie somewhere below Tara, way below Tara, as a matter of fact.
Sometimes give as Moyslaught and as always, Crom Cruach is welcomed.
With the sway of myself, weather means disaster.
I affirm each day for the men of the brave.
[Final Supposition - Narration:]
The notorious Klan stands by the ramparts at Tara where all enemies are approaching.
Being bound by a geis, the three have no choice but to stand against the feeble units.
Enveloping in an opaque mist, they suddenly find themselves in a magical place where they are
received by the deity Manann¡n and a courtly witch. Finally, they begin to walk up the steep
grassland of Tara, with wand and sword, which enables them to distinguish the truth from the lies.
It is the chair for our Master of the Tor.
It is embellished with bullion: marked.
It remains on top of the lofty mound.
It streams gray and silver lining.
It will be an accolade given to us.
That is, by the third of the last king.

Absu - Hallstatt

From an empty house...
In take-flight, the grey hawks verged upon a sunless sky
Wild, whistling winds carried them sorely, and sailed them bristly in the same shady sky.
In take-ground, branded the mark of hall and heave; their martyrs never left
2000 years, 2000 urn-burials, 2000 lies have now been erased.
[Chorus:]
We'll kneel towards the foyer with our precious salz!
We'll sound with horn, clash with wood and cleave with calls!
We've whittled the blades of Hallstattian swords!
In order to see such a legacy, fire burned with a past that turned;
Anvils were forged at an early stage, molded as cats or iarn-leastair.
Ioldanach has spied on this mistery, yet he's enkindled by the light
With hues of argent lightning and ore of purem the salt grants them mastery and might.
[Chorus:]
We'll kneel towards the foyer with our precious salz!
We'll sound with horn, clash with wood and cleave with calls!
We've whittled the blades of Hallstattian swords!

[Troid Warrior:] I convey the names to the planes of Destiny!

Wild, whistling winds carried them sorely, and sailed them

Absu - From Ancient Times (Starless Skies Burn to Ash)

Blazing to their pikes
Turning to dust
Gusting with the wind
They (still) dream of an older delusion
Reigning, raining
Dampening the empire
Their excursion burns with the ashes
Calm lakes mirrored
Glistening everywhere
They rove through the waters and fires
Silent seas paused
Enlightening low light
Their visions for imperishability
The weakened flesh
Expecting downfall
Their ashes spread through lightless, starless skies
The Eminence
Not expecting wind
They (now) think of a newer illusion
[Chorus:]
PRAISE - The ancient times
AS EARTH - Equates their end
COMMAND - The ancient times
LIKE TARA - Shall never pretend
DIES - Irae, dies illa
QUIDQUID - Latet adparebit

DEPOSE - Towards ancient times

Absu - Manannajn

I am a wave: on the rapt Cythr¡ul
I am a flood: across the croggy plain
I am a wind: of seven gales
I am a tear: the Sun lets fall
[Chorus I:]
I am
Manann¡n
Mac Lir
Noble warrior of lycanthropy
I am
Fachtna
High King
To shake thy cloak shall bring outbreak
I am a tide: that drags to engulfment
I am a current: a compass towards Visnech
I am a tempest: the onslaught of outburst
I am a zephyr: theirs is second pain
[Chorus II:]
I am Manann¡n
Mac Lir
Avatar from sail to sea
Thy horse
Aonbharr
Grand Steed
Chariots forever lead
I am an ocean's womb: of all abysms
I am a blaze: for every burning bathym
I am a lure: of the plumbless benthos
I am a breaker: bottomlessness doom
[Chorus III:]
I am
Manann¡n
Mac Lir
Shape-changer; Lar of deep
Thy sword
Fragarch
The Answerer...
[Bridge:]
Remember me, thou art all wind
And back with gusts thou shalt return
I'm the hawk: above this cliff, behind the waves
I'm the thorn: exude this rose, yet fleece the sky
...FLEECE THE SKY
I'm the hill: where poets walk and Tara lies
I'm the throne: from a tantalizing glimpse
...FROM A TANTALIZING GLIMPSE
[Repeat 4th & 5th Verse]
[Chorus IV:]
Hear the thunder roll
I am
Manann¡n,
And fear the sky shall fall [x5]
