The Acclamation Of Bonds Lyrics - Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk - Emperor

(Words: Ihsahn/ Music: Ihsahn & Samoth/ 

/Arrangements: Ihsahn) 

Vide 

Ravens caw in reverence 

Anthems to the Welkin at dusk 

In celebration of the few 

The kin 

Beyond flesh 

Beyond words 

Those of the core 

Beyond gods 

As gods received 

I float among them 

On wings once broken 

Now gleaming black 

I share their song 

Of words unspoken 

Cries of the past 

In times of fiendish tempest 

Bloodlust turns against the coil 

Hungry to the fall 

I greet the pit 

Blind Savage 

Cursing Life 

Yet, at the moment of my final step 

The hands and golden chains are given 

Bidding me that which can not be deprived 

The bonds of trust and unity 

Till the end 

Brethen and sisters of my circle 

I acclaim thee all 

When guiding stars are clouded and deranged 

Fear not to take my hand 

The bonds of trust and unity 

As gods received 

Till the end
