And Lo, When The Imperium Marches Against Gul-Kothoth

Bal Sagoth
앨범 : Starfire Burning Upon The Ice Veiled Throne Of Ultima Thule

The war between the Imperium and the allied Vyrgothian Kingdoms had raged
for years Beginning as minor disputes over border territories, the conflict
had swiftly escalated into a full scale bloody war, a vast series of epic
campaigns, fervently perpetua ted by the Emperor Koord and the Over King of
Vyrgothia, both eager to smite their traditional ancestral foes and to win
great glory and the adulation of their people by seizing victory in battle
Recent months had seen the forces of the Imperium display a staggering degree
of tactical mastery and battle prowess, contemptuously crushing the Vyrgothian
armies in a series of great battles, 'til at last, following the slaughterous
Rout of the Fields of Kai Vorg, The Empire's finest fighting force, the fame
d and far feared Legion of the Ebon Tiger, stood unopposed not five day's
march from mighty Gul Kothoth, the greatest and most ancient fortress city in
all the Vyrgothian kingdoms The Legion of the Ebon Tiger could not easily
count their numerous and r esounding victories, and their commander, the
legendary warlord Baalthus Vane, made it clear to the Emperor that he was
eager to press on deep into the enemy's lands and seize the prize which
awaited him the siege and capture of ancient Gul Kothoth And yet the Emperor
Koord did not order the Legion to march, for disturbing information had of
late been relayed to him by his spies in the Vyrgothian Royal Court Dire
rumours abounded that the Vyrgothian mages had at last discovered the ancient
arcane r ites which would unlock the aeons fettered power of the dread
Obsidian Crown, a fearsome mystical artefact countless thousands of years old
a black jewelled circlet believed once to have been borne upon the immortal
brow of the legendary Shadow King him self And it was written in legend
that should the ancient spells of might entwining the artefact be reawakened
then incredible near limitless ruinous power would thus be bestowed upon any
army carrying the Crown into battle Had the mages of Vyrgoth ia truly
ascertained the time lost conjurations required to empower the Obsidian Crown
hidden for centuries deep within the marble vaults of its ebon citadel Eager
to know the truth, the Emperor dispatched his most powerful sorcerer across
the great In land Sea to the Court of the Over King, under the pretence of
offering the terms for the Vyrgothian surrender He was bade use all his
sorcerous skills to discover the truth a truth soon made clear by the
disdainful refusal of the Imperium's terms, an d the grimly fearsome message
given the sorcerer by Vyrgothia's Master Wizard, with which to return to the
Emperor And lo, when the Imperium marches against Gul Kothoth, then dark
sorceries shall enshroud the Citadel of the Obsidian Crown
Darkly bejewelled circlet of night
Crown of the Elder King
Unfettered at last the Trinity of Might
The sceptre, the sword, and the ring
I stand upon the oaken planks of this great ship, the splendid flagship of
the Imperium's navies
Gazing at moon gleam dancing on the vast, dark sea
And in my mind I behold black crystals gleaming ensorcellment
I am enthralled by this nighted spell
For I know that the slumbering sorceries
Of the Shadow King's crown shall soon be reawakened
And as I return to my emperor shackled to such woefully grim tidings
My spirit is borne upon the leathern wings of a great sorrow
Call forth the Ogre Mage of the Black Lake
And the Swordmaster of Kyrman'ku
Let them speak the Words Which Unfetter
Enshrined for countless centuries, within its darksome citadel
Five score and ten against the Tiger, curse the black crown of the
Shadow King
By all the dark gods, I swear I'll not be dethroned
A seething forest of blackened blades
A churning sea of ebon war chariots
A searing storm of flaming shafts
All this havoc and more shall I unleash against my foe
Into battle The Legion shall march the fall of Gul Kothoth is nigh
The Legion of the Ebon Tiger six thousand elite warriors of the
Imperium, the pride of the Emperor's forces Bolstered by heavy cavalry, and
a squadron of deadly scythed chariots further reinforced by the Imperial
Frontier Army of one hundred tho usand highly trained spearmen and archers
and never has this force met its match in battle or siege
Our banner flies ever glorious, undefeated we stand, steeped in victory
The Iron Phalanx, six thousand strong, our ever honed blades, the Tiger's
gleaming claws
Pride of the Empire, Scourge of the Vraii
Masters at Turonium, and Kai Vorg
Smiters of the Southern Host, Routers of the Horde, Bane of the Over King, we
march to war
And so, the Emperor himself rides to rendezvous with Baalthus Vane
accompanied by his sorcerous aide The Legion of the Ebon Tiger reaches
Gul Kothoth at dusk on the fifth day of their march from the fields of
Kai Vorg, halting upon the great arid plan which stretches before the city
the huge dust cloud sent up by their massed arrival obscuring the dying embers
of the setting sun As the vast army begins to make camp, arraying their
splendid tents and banners, and assembling their gargantuan siege wag ons
the Emperor stands gazing at the huge brooding walls and colossal cyclopean
gates of the city fortress before him, vowing that a torrent of red slaughter
shall befall Gul Kothoth, regardless of any sorcerous trinkets the Vyrgothians
may possess, and that the Over King shall pay dearly for his sublime
arrogance And twelve leagues distant, an army of five score and ten, bearing
the Obsidian Crown, approaches the city
