Heretics of the Dawning Star
adamah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pity those who stand the weakest
Who betray their fathers
Not those who bear the sickness
Of endless pain and torment
All harken to the sounds of anger
When they curse his name
But righteous they shall be
Those who remain

All bow down
To the god of war
All bow down
To the lord of plagues
All bow down
To the god of war
All bow down
To the lord of plagues

All hail!

Scholars of black light
Great disciples of Ra
Awaken the inferno
A bask in the flames
The destroyer of worlds
The knowing flood
Rise from the abyss
And forge a world

All bow down
To the god of war
All bow down
To the lord of plagues
All bow down
To the god of war
All bow down
To the lord of plagues





All hail!
