Bound beyond Mercy corrupted Blood of the attainder We serve the bonds The faceless thralls Of Varangian assault Harvested steppes Beyond Byzantium Penitence for the barren A tithe for a blessing Gorged to oblivion Like the wretched abandon Of sentient thieves We drudge in odium We till the sepulchre We harrow and burn Without tenancy, Without refuge. We, with deadwood and piety Without tenancy, without benign asylum Satiate the keepers law Serving the bonds, serving the will Of the possessor Expelled from the autarchy Our chattels bereaved Annexed to a kingdom Immured by excess At the foot of majesty Assembled in tremors With eyes to the sun Crying out ‘armistice’ Bound beyond Mercy corrupted Blood of the attainder We serve the bonds De rerum natura, Such liberty Our demense, Our labour To toil and to be Our Vassal awaits To survey Such fealty De rerum natura, Such liberty Such fealty Such villeiny De rerum natura

Curia Regis 03:40
Fertile grounds for the feral Hang your fruits from aloft Bare your harvest upon the fiend Craved hellion, saviour Our saviour, the plight of our sole saviour, the accursed tormentor. Our lord, our saviour.

Heavy the flail of earthen husks Inert upon the oblique floor Such graceless loam to winnow Lord, harbour this leprosy Touch these sallow lips With your reverie, your blessed accord The fortuitous gift of esteem A gaze to the fallow grounds Your vacant crop Your fated end Your haunted flock Suppress this entreaty Their carnal affront Their woes gnaw Like vermin to open sores Impotence, 
 cumberworld, Slanderer, recreant, Raise the wergild, Commit To the breaching of faith Reproach on your gluttony How must we bleed to gauze this abrasion? 
 How must we grieve before the seraphim? To defame the estates With this divine facade Sovereign, sovereign, 
touch on our bane 
 Repulse this Maleficium Monarch, Father, nurture our ills Pour from your mouth the covenant’s seal Retread the vales, our vestal lament Such omens wassail in torment Sovereign, sovereign Feast on this Eucharist 
 Ravage our malady This vagrant resolve This ailing wish This frailty This love lost

From the cradle of man to The Redeemer’s crest Afford unto this assemblage The Mandate of Canaan Decorate unto these nobiles the charm to rule without impedance Rex non potest peccare (the king is never wrong) Every man to his lord, every lord to his eminence The crown resists the mock, the bastard, 
 feigned eidolon and assume our place above the soiled masses The crown resists, the crown resists, the crown resists From the cradle of man To Abaddon We call for parousia Our sovereign tongues Our artifice Claim impunity Renounce, apostate Their prophet, spirit, saint Yield to the regency For what is a Sun but chicanery? We, heads of kingdom, Of clover Know not what we procure Our worth, our class, our divining Moored in the womb of mortality We shall birth the unborn horizon Too long without price These terrains Too loose are the binds On these villeins Death for debt Befouled in the Frith Somer comes To few deserved Demarcate, reclaim Levereter, salvage these agrarian gifts Levereter, redeem our rule Back from the dirt Back from the serf Back from ruin Back from purgatory Levereter, Salvage these agrarian gifts Demagogue, ignite the blaze Wellborn, Cremate the kin Their time, 
finite Descendants purged Our paths alight Exile, abate, abate To ending, to beginning To ruin, To adma Steel for stone Our blood Our rite They shall atone You, the subordinate, the prurient cherub, deserve not this land but what is all and nothing, the encumbered grounds of which you blot. You, unwelcome, undeserved, shall be consumed by the saccharine spores of ending in the great mouth of Lethe, and return whence to the mother root, the eternal seed. Arise again as bramble and weed and thorn. As hemlock and crocus and oleander. You, bascilus, you exist upon the decree of the megacosm, inhale upon our exhale, awake to new dawns upon our benevolence, And will accept martyrdom, You, unworthy, unforgiven, unwelcome, undeserved, you will suffer the amaranthine pain of blight, the felling of every maple, ash, beech, hackberry, chestnut, and pine. The hapless sapping of the heartwood. The Fire of Fires, The glorious excess of pulmonary edema The Flood of Floods, The expiration of life. You are all and you all shall wizen.
