Caedes Cruenta - The Crescent Symbol of the Apocalypse

The cursed star appeared in the east So bright that it seemed to rival the sun And set the night sky aflame It’s luminous trail visible across the Pegasus constellation

Comets blazed forth with such splendor That the whole sky seemed to be set on fire The star of Sinope, the great conflagration falling to earth The crescent symbol of the god of the sun

Apocalyptic revelations in the oracle of Hastaspes Proclaim the brilliant crescent star of Sinope The scriptures of Bahman Yasht Herald the eventual fall of the evil empire

Ages ago prophecies predicted The advent of the dreadful king Heavenly portents foretell the greatness Of the newborn Prince

The ghost of Bouplagos rises up from the dead Bleeding from twelve gruesome wounds Sinister voice of Kronides Zeus Warning whispers bringing shivers of fear

Beheaded Publius speaks in despair Raving about the horrible end to come Gory atrocities and unspeakable desolation Ghastly tales of sword and death

Eerie signs of the impending doom Poetic visions evoke the offspring of the predator Macabre events famine and disease Rains of blood, plagues and monstrous births

Oppressive stillness before the end As twilight gathers, nemesis is near Isolated battle voices condense to a raging bloodlust Tragedy lies Underneath lifeless fields of ruin
