Seventh Within (Shadow of a Mekra) Lyrics


Under the barren grounds

The piercing silence speaks upon the void

The air, so heavy, carves the path

To a hall, forsaken, thought to be destroyed

Under the barren grounds

The ancient bones of a forgotten god

Gaze upon the rising shrine

Surrounded by the acolytes of Lleth, delirious and awed

The eyes of the Mekra are closed

His projection, fleshless, gathering his kin

Betrayer of the council of elements

The bastard, born in a way of sin, Seventh Within!

Lleth:

“Bleed upon me, o spirits of sulphur

For I shall rise again, fueled by your lives!

None that stand in my way shall prosper!

He who follows my path forever thrives!

Follow my orders, I command thee!

Now is the time to reconstruct my flesh

One of the seven, I shall break free!

Gather my brothers’ bones in my sulphur creche

My will shall be your life!

By my command you shall spread strife”

The seven pedestals pierced the ground

Awaking the spirits in the sulphur hall

Exposing the bones of a god

The Drorkasi fleshless horde

Beyond life, under the will of Lleth

Resurrected through spiritual death

Lleth:

“I separate this hall from Danaii

And claim the newborn isle as my abode!”

They spread the delirious plague

Beyond the isle, beyond Drorkasi lands

Bringing forth the will of the fleshless hand!

Over the newborn shrine

The lifeless head of Lleth shall rule and command

The peoples of Danaii, fueled by the sulphur plague

Shall now be the Mekra’s hands

Over the newborn shrine

One awaits the spirits, the six lost kin

Betrayer of the circle of Khra

The bastard, born in a way of sin, Seventh Within!
