Through fires of blood and bubbling hell Of souls tormented th'river will run To Tartarus where demons dwell - Now sing, my muse, and scorch thy tongue. Or in Hecate's pit else fall to burn, Choked in hell-broth, harlot red; The broiling blood floods here to churn - There is no mercy, no mercy for the dead. Love me, love me, as I consume you Heat thy heart as I flow through you Deathless Charon guides me home The Empire stands, behold it's might Phlegethon rises Phlegethon rises Black beaked Furies in caverns deep Will watch aloft, hearts black as night. No rest nor peace nor desperate sleep Will venture here to soothe this plight; By Hades' eye, ever staring clear, Like a Titan may break the Earth, So the power of ruling fear Will draw hell's womb-blood for the Empire's birth. Love me, love me, as I consume you Heat thy heart as I flow through you Deathless Charon guides me home The Empire stands, atop the world Phlegethon rises Phlegethon rises As dread Styx once in gated Thebes so bold Did'st e'er thick the blood of royal home, And th'incestuous prince under mingled hold Could only carve out his sight to eternal gloam. Not seven gates nor seven armies whole Could prophesy their doom from thence, Neither seven-eyed Rumour with swiftest soul From seven embraces can make defense. Our crest is formed from twisted bones; Out from the blood river the soldiers rise They lead with Gorgons, Harpies, crones, To fill the world with tormenting cries. Resist me, child, I implore you - Pray to a void for an angel shower, Watch me paint the world anew Then fall in vain, entertain me; still the Empire swells with brimming power. Love me, love me, as I consume you Heat Thy heart as I flow through you Deathless Charon guides me home The Empire stands, now kneel and bow Phlegethon rises Phlegethon rises Love me, love me, as I destroy you Exalt my name as I do rule you Deathless Charon guides you home The Empire stands, in glory's light eternal Phlegethon is here Phlegethon is here
