Imperium of Death

Liner Notes
#metal #blackmetal #deathmetal #thrashmetal #mnet
First one of these where I wrote the lyrics before the music, which I very rarely do. Worked fine here, though, and deciding the form of the lyrics before writing the music helped me experiment a little with the song structure, like I opted to write 3 verses of similar form and just switch up what instrumental sections appear between them.
Lyrics
Darkness descends
Pestilent mist
Rule of no law
Cold, bony fist
Unending death
All life will cease
Nothing more
Only death is real
Hallowed in death
Sinners arise
Eternally lifeless
Restless inside
All hope is lost
Judgment has come
Death reigns supreme
The imperium
Drawn from the void
A wasteland of scorn
Howling in grief
Souls left unborn
Nowhere to rest
Nowhere to run
Death reigns supreme
The imperium
