The Legend of Thraat

|||
Once upon a time in the land of the old kings lived the great beast. Our forests, the water and the sky were protected by it. It lived in a sacred swamp in the sacred grove far away from man. Many say it was the curse of this beast that turned the old gods into the monolith people.
One day a village boy walked deep into the forest, sent by his mother to collect firewood. On his way back it was dark, when he felt the pang of hunger. So in the fading light, the boy sat down on a drift wood, on the edge of a stream to fish. Unknown to him it was the gravest mistake he would ever make and brought about the curse. For the stream ran in the sacred swamp of the beast, untouched by humans.
With the distant sound of a thousand slithering snakes, the Thraat emerged in the night. The terrified boy confronted by this vision lit a holy sage bush to scare away the beast. It was then that the Thraat told him 9 tales. The boy, the trees, the serpents and all the animals in the sacred grove listened.
"Rule of Fifth”, "All Seeing Eye", "Capital Vices", “Valor”, “Diablo Illumination” "Quintus”, “Origins From Alpha”, “When Anger Dwells”, “Anecdote”
These 9 lessons about the origins of the people showed the boy that mankind will ultimately destroy itself because of an insatiable hunger and greed.
It is said by the old ones that he and his village had turned to stone.
The Thraat has now returned, it is time to feed!

Depicted as the father of Gods who ruled the created world
Now Ra has grown frail
Has no strength to carry on
The mortals murmured against him to seize the throne
Ra’s anger blazed forth like never before
Summoned the Eye
The Eye of Ra
Hathor came down to earth to put the fear of God into them
Her rage created Sekhmet to destroy them
Sekhmet unleashed her powers to destroy all of mankind
The plotters fled to escape their punishment
Scared of her rage they had no place to escape
Hathor who turned into Sekhmet could not be stopped
In vain begged for mercy
Denied their pain, the prayers and screams
The fury had to be stopped
Ordered all to the city search for the ochre they could find
Red soil dipped in wine fed to control her Rage
Enchanted by her own reflection in the crimson surface
She drank the pool dry
Her head whirled not knowing why
So mankind was saved
The time was drawing near
For Ra to leave the earth and rule forever in the heavens
Sekhmet changed to Hathor and slept in her father’s feet for many days

Fucking trapped in a cage where there is no escape
We are bounded by the seven deadly sins
We keep on wanting more than what we cannot attain
We are fucking trapped in a cage
How easily we slipped into the dark abyss
A place where fucking demons roam in disguise
How pleasure can turn us all into shame
How supreme power can lead us to fucking pain
The longer it gets, the tougher it grabs
Till then it'll be too late to realize
This prison, where judgment has already been written down with no room left to compromise
To hell, where fire burns and the devil commands
Hatred and agony haunts inside
How the fuck can we retaliate if we yearn over and over again
To hell, where fire burns and the devil commands
Hatred and agony haunts inside
How the fuck can we retaliate if we yearn over and over again
How can we retaliate?
When our needs meet satisfaction
Lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, vanity, greed and sloth
Cannot be cloistered nor denied
The greatest sins of mankind
To hell, where fire burns and the devil commands
Hatred and agony haunts inside
How the fuck can we retaliate if we yearn over and over again
To hell, where fire burns and the devil commands
Hatred and agony haunts inside
How the fuck can we retaliate if we yearn over and over again
How can we retaliate?
When our needs meet satisfaction
Lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, vanity, greed and sloth
Cannot be cloistered nor denied
The greatest sins of mankind
We are bounded by the seven deadly sins
We keep on wanting more than what we cannot attain
We are fucking trapped in a cage
Forgiveness is what we seek
Breaking out is what we aim
But we keep on falling for supreme power and fame

Arise
We left them all behind
Don’t know when we’ll be back to hold them in our arms
Fought till the end
The end of everything
This is where all memories remain
The pledge we’ve taken the promises we’ve made
Where there is no turning back again
Alone we’re left to fight for our pride
Only the strong survives
The pledge we’ve taken the promises we’ve made
Where there is no turning back again
Alone we’re left to fight for our pride
Only the strong survives
Alone we’re left to fight for our pride
Survive
Alone we’re left to fight for our pride
Darkness is our only companion where light is forbidden
Colleagues taking their last breath in front of our eyes
Their act of valor forever resides
Their names will eternally survive
The honour you portrayed
The integrity you displayed
To defend us they’re willing to give the ultimate sacrifice
All of these sacrifices are meant for the opportunity to perfect our lives
Soon this war will come to an end
Will I lay six feet under or will I live to raise the coffin of my courageous friends
Soon this war will come to an end

Diablo Illumination

“Your mouth will fall open when you perceived the truth, believe in what you do not see for you are being kept under the secret observation of the Eye”
Beware
An illusion it will be to escape their perceptions
There is nothing left to say, nothing left to prove
With the word fear as their weapon controlled to worship them
They're coming to get you, no matter what you say
Those who see it will be thought of as insane
We live inside society where presence is unknown
And manipulate you to which way you’ll go
A new era of domination will begin
Our minds will be bound by their beliefs
This covenant must never
Never to be known
To keep the illusion alive the connection is not seen
Beware
Diablo illumination in control
Diablo conspire against the human race
Bounded as slaves we will believe what is told and that can never be seen
Diablo illumination in control
Diablo conspire against the human race
Bounded as slaves we will believe what is told and that can never be seen
A new era of domination will begin
Our minds will be bound by their beliefs
This covenant must never
Never to be known
To keep the illusion alive the connection is not seen
Beware you’re under the secret observation of the Eye

Origins From Alpha

How narcissistic you have become
Look back to what you were before
Don’t think you’re auspicious enough
Excogitate, you prideful fuck
Life is too short, so learn from your delusions and change your ways
Recall back what once was gone
Those steps you’ve taken
The leap you’ve made
Recall back what once was gone
Your pride will lead you to downfall
Busy chasing paper blindfolded
Like a drug attached to it
Caught in the strings of attachment
Fate of confusion surrounds you
Wake up and recall what has been lost
Before it’s too late
Time is limited
Success is temporary
Don’t fall for pride, greed, gluttony
Life is too short, so learn from your delusions and change your ways
Recall back what once was gone
Those steps you’ve taken
The leap you’ve made
Recall back what once was gone
Your pride will lead you to downfall
You boast all that wealth gave
But go empty to your grave
Your start is the beginning
But it has no end
Keep yourself to your roots for your branches will extend

When Anger Dwells

Convulsion of hatred and the trepidation of war
We excel to destroy things that value the most
Dying at heart and not quit sane
There is no peace as this war is driving you insane
You feel an urge to slaughter
Can’t keep yourself in control
Reality hit hard by this war
You want to kill them all
Wanna take revenge on them for what they’ve done to you
Gonna take vengeance, then justice will be done
You’ll pay for this there is no escape
I’m full of hatred and it’s too late
Intense ache in death
Agony, cries, screams and pain
Humanity won’t live in peace it’s based on war and hate
War
The human race is violent that’s why we relate
They are the dark side of your conscience which flows in your veins
When anger dwells
You’ll pay for this there is no escape
I’m full of hatred and it’s too late
All things go haywire
Times when anger dwells

Anecdote
05:22

Its strength that symbolize our name
For passion and nothing for fame
Will counter whatever comes in between
Had been looked down in a lot of ways
Struggling through all the hard times and lots of frequent setbacks
Had been looked down
Will not stop doing the things we want to
Run thousands of miles if we have to
Regrets and mistakes have always been there
Fair decision are not found anywhere
Struggling how to survive in this fight
Doing the things we want to
Regrets have always been there
Opportunities we created them
Sacrifices to conquer them
Let all these failures end
Let the chances of change comes in
Greetings might not be pleased
Back stabbed wounds remains as scars
But let’s not give up this fight
Will fight until the last
Had been looked down
Had ups and downs
Will not give up
Will not back out
Breaking away to believe with every changing of the leaves
As long as we don’t stop
There’s no empty road
Will go and get it till we reach our goals
Will never give up
Till we reach our goal
