Like wolves from the freezing mist

Like hawks through the fires of dawn

Like thunder 'cross iron fields

Ghostfaced heralds return

See yourself broken in the mud

Spitting blood and teeth

And before you, flames alive with promise

Are you willing to burn with us?

It's been so long

Since we last felt life flicker through these veins

And weren't you there

Among the orphaned children of the eclipse?

Blinded and dying

Crawling through sandstorms

Limbs impaled on the shards of centuries

And every drop of gore sowed another curse

Amidst the furrows of the firstborn damned

Discard your shroud of mourning

Leave the crumbling halls of exclusion

For the keys to ascension

Proceed not from flesh and bone

Never forget whence your bloodline came

Never forsake the pride of your name

Never forgive those who stained your earth

Never forswear the seal of your birth
