Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Unsheathe, Trust into the void
To walk in the shadows of better men
Firstborn, The final chapter
Holding the means to see hereafter
Not for power, Nor veneration
These benighted worlds
Condign only annihilation

Chorus:
The path of exaltation
To truths you wish you'd never known
Forever unforgiven
We hunt for those who fell
In the name of absolution
These fallen m ust be slain
For only though salvation
Can we redeem our shame

Verse 2:
When honour is torn down
And valour holds no place
With the power of suns
In the palm of our hands
Only vigilance prevails
Each contrition, Etched in blood
Clandestine our cloak
Tethered to our transgressions

Interlude:
In the face of ruination
Our sins we must confine
As fire serves to clear the soil
Only faith will seed these basis
