lyrics

I was born with a wolf’s desire
With a serpent’s tongue and a darkened heart
I have risen to ranks of wisdom
As the silent hand of the shaded one

Messenger and wanderer of worlds
Harbinger, heralding death’s knell

I am aide to the Lord Of Shadow
Friend to hounds, the assassin saint
Rifting portals lend me succor
Instruments of death shall I create

Son of silence, sent to sunder some
Buried blades in a blink and then it’s done

Go and summon your warrens of magick
Do not hope for defense to sustain
There have been many others before you
Greater ones who by my hands were slain

Messenger and wanderer of worlds
Harbinger, heralding hood’s knell
Son of silence, sent to sunder some
Buried blades in a blink and then it’s….. done
