sacrifice unto fire with fuel in hand bestow purification rise sacred entities manifest thought to which I entreat flesh shall burn cloud consciousness obscure thought in clouds of obnoxious fumes engulfed in purity I sat upon the scorched pedestal thick ashes rising upwards encircling this temple ohr mazd bring forth sacred flames die by the living stream from distant stars ohr mazd bring forth scorching wisdom thus spoke he who lay before the destruction of evil his spark reigns ever lit through the years of corruption bring forth the lowest of flame conjure atash dadgah bring forth the fire of fires conjure atash adaran victory as man's conflict draws to conclude ignited from sacred flames embers entwined atash behram

ever watchful eyes gaze forth upon arches cast in flame mountainous effigies of sorrow and depiction yielding the jagged crown sprawled on the desert sands cradling figures to detest thee immortalized in stone ceramic faces of terror majestic entities stare down in awe and so I bathe in tears of my kingdom passed forth from my ancestors time sculptures offers lay down lay down thy grief dimished is my might dimished is my sight sculptures in shadow

echoes in the vastness cries from the condemned thou subject of punishment worthless till the end ever to remain in her cradling arms goddess awake ever to lie sprawled beneath the earth goddess betray guide ye all by virtue of birth adorning staircases of sand-scorched bronze these pikes thy lifeless husks shall rest upon pierced upon sculptures of magnificence instigate slavery through our mechanism abhorrence drained of all dignity impaled upon the pinnacles of the chapel of knowledge thou wretched vermin stain the glass with their putrid blood let the skies bleed on them witness thy deceit the winged lion slain pierced by a snake of deception flung from thy siege engine who shall defy those who shall remain generations of fools ye who embraced fear and fled from the lands malice and the spear sought to claim guide ye all to witness thy legions of torment gaze upon completion of the greater realm guide thyselves to the gallows

as the suns rays blare on your skin ever you remain in the tomb of your kin appear before me the birds of death circle above show me your secrets show me your weakness their perfumes are replaced by the stench of dead subordinates we gather at the bridge of sand and skies we gather at the place that you despise now perish bleeding fools pray for mercy it’s no use kings of old rejoice for me to your ruler bow shall ye submit to this chastity their unholy wisdom vetted unto me these bodies we lay on the hill slaves to the gatherings devouring will at the bridge of sand and skies vultures this is your secret this is your weakness their perfumes are replaced by the stench of rotting subordinates the birds of death return
