II. Fratricide Lyrics

Shall lunacy eclipse destiny?

To kill the new decree amidst enmity?

Shall this remedy bring out ecstasy?

Shall a phantom king damnation bring?

Waylaid, crass, and clandestine

I know what vile deeds have befallen

Abhorrent ascension, a parabola

By sin you rise or by virtue fall

But if you can, then fall you will

Cain and Abel, but royalty

I am that hex delivering fate

To taint the meaning of loyalty

Through funerary wedlock disgrace

Foul sin, I am vessel and deliverance

Due fate

Volition to sate

Honor thy father's memory

As if he never left us

For here he stands before me

Lone specter: night's conjuring shrewd

Upholding grim conjecture

By his own blood

Slain

Shroud not veracity

To shed a brother's blood so willingly

Crowned through one tragedy

Covetous fratricide auricularly

Have you no dignity?

Slander commitment incestuously

Thy name is frailty

Thy morals lost, twofold matrimony

A pariah born anew

I know what punishment is due

Waylaid, crass, and clandestine

I know what vile deeds have befallen
