Every step on my mystical path, is fraught with peril. The quest for knowledge, a hunger for the unknown. **Malediction of the Runes. I speak the curse, that brings forth the Old Gods. Immortal wisdom. An incantation, guided by the sacred stones. A snowy path. A stone circle. The Seer has led me here. I perform the rites, I give an eye. A sacrifice unto myself. The Gods seek to stop me. They feel I am no equal. The Gods fear me. I will pass the gates. I will feast. I will battle. And I will die. The Runes have spoken. I am eternal. **Malediction of the Runes. I spoke the words, now watch the Old Gods fall. I drink the dew of Yggdrasil. I sit upon Asgard’s throne. Malediction of the Runes.

Swarm 05:10
Come into my lair, admire my rare stones. They speak to me at night. We are the chosen vessels of hateful smite. Travel through portals. Into the flex of time, we amass a legion. **We are one, we are the swarm. Devour those who oppose. We see beyond life, beyond death. A hive mind born of blackness. Into realms unknown. Your feeble mind will crumble. Come with me, into the fever dream. Blood pulsing to the surface. You lose your grasp on sanity. It’s best not to fight… **We are one, we are the swarm. Devour those who oppose. We see beyond life, beyond death. A hive mind born of blackness. Into realms unknown. Your feeble mind will crumble. Light consumes you, now you are… We are one. We are the swarm. We are the Worm.

Hostiles surrounding you. Your life under constant surveillance. Or so you think. No one really gives a shit. You are not important. And neither am I. **This is the death of reason. Your neighbor is your enemy. Stab your family in the back. This is the death of reason. We’re all going backwards. Under constant attack. Everyone is your enemy. The death of reason. Big brother has his hands around your neck. We fall victim to our own paranoia. They’re keeping you in check. **This is the death of reason. Your neighbor is your enemy. Stab your family in the back. This is the death of reason. We’re all going backwards. Under constant attack. Everyone is your enemy. The death of reason. Freedom. What a joke. No one even knows what it means anymore. What’s the point? Freedom. For common folk? Ha, I don’t think so. We’re keeping each other prisoner, it’s our own damn fault. Our self-imposed isolation goes far beyond our walls. Lockdown. It’s over for us. We’re alone. No one cares. I don’t want to help you. It’s my fucking right. **This is the death of reason. Your neighbor is your enemy. Stab your family in the back. This is the death of reason. We’re all going backwards. Under constant attack. Everyone is your enemy. The death of reason.

Vardoger 05:05
The sounds wake me, though I am not frightened. I feel a presence. It smells of sulfur and blackness. *Hail to the Old Gods. I offer myself, take from me what you will. To my reflection I speak in whispers. What magik is this? *Hail to the Old Gods. **They call to me, Vardoger. To guide my spirit, they watch over me. To you I pray, for the strength of rage. I assemble my forces, and prepare for battle. A vision of a battlefield. This must be the foresight of the seer. Guide me to my triumphant fate, or my glorious death. **They call to me, Vardoger. To guide my spirit, they watch over me. To you I pray, for the strength of rage. I assemble my forces, and prepare for battle. March for glory! March for victory and revenge! *Hail to the Old Gods. **They call to me, Vardoger. To guide my spirit, they watch over me. To you I pray, for the strength of rage. I assemble my forces, and prepare for battle.

Novum Portis 04:43
I seek, the infernal truth. A glimpse into the cosmic horror that is Lucifer. Pure menace, spite and greed. Debased thoughts, one focus, my mind freed. **The Kingdom of Shadows, Lies beyond the Ninth Gate. De Vmbrarvm Regni Novum Portis I wish to see well beyond, the feeble realm of Man. To make contact with elemental spirits. My eyes have seen the tome of Forbidden Lore. And my soul is prepared… **The Kingdom of Shadows, Lies beyond the Ninth Gate. De Vmbrarvm Regni Novum Portis I have obtained the engravings, the coveted wisdom. Delomelanicon, the book that should never have been opened. Apocraphyl words written by Lucifer itself. A satanic riddle, not for the feeble of mind. Solve the puzzles, bring Him unto us. 1. Silence is Golden 2. Open that which is closed 3. Wasted breath keeps a secret 4. Chance is not the same for all 5. In vain 6. I enrich myself with death 7. The disciple outshines the master 8. Virtue is conquered 9. I know now the shadows come from the light **The Kingdom of Shadows, Lies beyond the Ninth Gate. De Vmbrarvm Regni Novum Portis
