Hyperion - Empyrean Yearning lyrics

“Perish, inferior vermin!” His gaze imminent to the south Futile Tatarian blood will not suffice Roam! Wreak ail, havoc, subjugate defiers Let none bereave your ever germinating might From the plains of Delüün Boldog to the mighty Khwarezmian forts Your empire shall stand supreme – to erect the seal of worldwide reign Be apprised to behold the malignancy of the great Khan! The wall – adamant, rigid, harboring the kingdom beyond Yet so unable to shelter their piteous lives as they circumvent it Following the path along the grand impediment Laced traps were concealed beneath the impending hordes Faced with a throng of soldiers, putrid and corrupt Who’s fealty was as staunch as a hired force could be Fierce pillaging and utter supremacy. The purge through salt and flame. As embers fade into empyrean futility, dusk abates before atrophy descends. And the fall of the metropolis dawns With accommodation from their own treachery A mighty dynasty elapses. __________________________ Storming into the attenuated fortress Grace was utterly absent in rage Slippery streets of humanly fat A paragon made in aversion and dread From whence the genesis comest in ire Shall the worldwide domain tremble ablaze Khwarezmian citadels crushed Beneath fierce reprisal A fraction of Ghengis’s legion was sent To survey the gallantry of the west Yet meager defiance was shown Thus sealing the kismet of realms beyond What heinous atrocities he couldn’t achieve Throughout the era of his tellurian reign His son would later attain In otiose yearning nothing can thrive He attempts to halter the carnal cycle Though to no avail For the great misfortune of human asinity resumes and nothing is reshaped
