Conspire - Abhorrent Decimation

Sentinels of the gold;

sworn devils, colluding

A whisper comes from one, unto the other

«Thou art my sworn brother, the departed fellow is a fool

Let us take this find and split it in two»

Treacherous minds can be heard, poisoned with avarice

Hail wealth, Hail sin.

Half is greater than a third

«How may that be?

Do we deceive?

Surely he’ll know that we’ve taken the gold?»

«It shall be secret, then we can live, live as Kings!»

Two stand stronger than one

In the shadow of the midnight sun

«Arise in play, I shall rive him through the sides and flay»

Conspire, as if its a game

And with my blade I’ll do the same

A dagger to heart will declare his end

The gold is divided

Conspire, as if its a game

And with my blade I’ll do the same

We shall act as I have said

And then bury our dead

One of three dreaming in gold;

the youngest, infernal

His blood is poisoned by a vision of wealth that he dreams was his alone

«O Lord», quod he «no man should be merry as me»

And then, the fiend, Lucifer planted his seed…

Poison the wine that your brothers will quaff

Hail wealth, Hail sin.

Never to see the sun again

He who hath tasted the fruits of hell now had intent

To slay them both and never repent

A desperate savage walks the cobbles of town

Apothecary is needed for murder

«Pray sell poison'

I must rid the woods of contamination»…

Conspire, as if its a game

And with my blade I’ll do the same

A dagger to heart will declare his end

The gold is divided

Conspire, conspire

And then bury our dead

And so he procured a toxin delight

As if for vermin that plagued him at night

«Thou now hold a bane so foul

That it would perish the gates of hell

And with prudence you must act

Use with caution and respect

Thou only need a single grain

To end a life in abominable pain."

Borrowed of him, clean bottles three

In two pours the poison he

The third is clean for him to drink

And to his fellows he retreats
