Verse 1

We must cleanse them from their vile corruption

with sword and sermon

False prophets lead them to their destruction

to crawl with vermin

We fought hard for our place above them

arcane policy

Our rule will not succumb to this mayhem

or apostasy

Chorus

Our place among their holy ones

shall not be contested by new blood, or their sons

Palaces have been raised in our names

and none shall take it away from us, or tamper with our games

We rule behind a veil of shadows, with might none can oppose

Verse 2

When our gods fail we will turn to others,

be they kind or not

Offering our loyalty as brothers,

retracing our plot

We remain in power with these prayers,

guiding the blinded,

as we must, for we’re the hierophants heirs

forever undead

Verse 3

And when the time is drawing near

our new lords word shall spread for all the world to hear

With time our grasp of power slips

but with sword and sermon we’ll alter their old scripts

Chorus

Our place among their holy ones

shall not be contested by new blood, or their sons

Palaces have been raised in our names

and none shall take it away from us, or tamper with our games

We rule behind a veil of shadows, with might none can oppose
