Lyrics

Beneath the moon’s unblinking eye
We carved the circle in frozen soil
Ashes of kings, blood of the blind
Poured to the roots of the ancient oak

No prayer was raised for grace or light
No gods were asked to forgive
We came to tear the chain apart
And let the old law die poor

The fire knew our names before we spoke
The smoke remembered what had not begun
We called the storm from after the wound
We crowned the end before the birth

Cause and effect are broken bones
Scattered before the pagan throne
The past is ash, the future bleeds
Time rewrites all blasphemies

No guilt, no mercy, no design
Only the law of the endless shrine
What comes first no longer remains
We drink from backwards-flowing flames

Antlers raised to the starless vault
We wore the skins of nameless beasts
Each chant was older than its source
Each oath was born from what it made

The knife descended after the scar
The wound appeared before the steel
We saw the harvest feed the seed
And watched the answer shape the need
