The Tree
Zedekiah:
“At the pool from which I drank
Surrounding the roots from which this cursed life came
I’ll cut down this branch
And craft my instrument
And you shall know me
All shall know me by my melody
For you the sun shall not rise
I am the shroud across your eyes
And it will be said
That this is the end
With every breath that passes throughout this pipe
I can refashion all within my sight
From the depths below
To the stars above
I call you beasts
Spoken of old
Gather before you master
And await my command
Feed on the hopes and dreams of every living thing
‘Til nothing good endures
And all my plans are sure
And when they have no more you will crush them
Blood, blood everywhere
And from every drop you must drink
We’ll fall from the sky
As sulfurous streams of light
‘Til all the air
Is too thick to bear”

Nanabozho
Zedekiah:
“The icy teeth of winter that cut my flesh no more
Are frightened of me
When did I become something nature feared?
Who are you that is ever with me?
From whence did you come?
Do not hide your face any longer
Show me what you are!”
Nanabozho:
“I am the morning star that has fallen to the earth
I took life from the light and planted it in the dirt
For you
So you might be a god
But he who fashioned the seed
Would not let this be
So he struck you down to your knees
With your dreams
I am the morning star that has fallen to the earth
I sought to give you what should be yours
Life everlasting
All the riches of the world for taking
No pain of hunger, want, or death
Would your loves had known
Had he ever loved you
Our time is now
We must rise up as a mighty steed
And trample His beloved under our feet
So that He will never again be loved by the living
And we will stand strong in defiance of his name
RISE!”

Nan’s Wrath
Nanabozho:
“The Stage is set
The pawns take their places as I circle once more
Death awaits them
Hell will take those that are not His
I am the Reaper!
I will wipe their race off of the earth
O how I despise them
They will serve me or die
But oh how I hope they fight
I love the fear in their eyes
Oh I will take much delight watching all of them cry
Ready your weapon!
Play me a song of war
Open the earth, make them tremble
Form our numbers from the rocks and the trees
The night is here, we ride as a storm
FEAR ME!
I COME FOR BLOOD!
DESPAIR!
YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE!
I will take away everything you’ve ever loved and cherished
I am the night that’s fallen on your world
This is not a game! This is not a game!
Welcome to my reign

The Sower
Nanabozho:
“I’m your father now
Your parents are rotting flesh on the ground
I give you unending life
And freedom to reign
Zedekiah, awaken the beast
And tame him with your melody
Take the children and travel the void
The man and his women will already by destroyed
Oh they will be destroyed
Place the children at the tree
And feed them the life of eternity
Then find me before He casts me in to darkness again
We’ll stop them from going to be with Him”
James:
“Tonight we meet you man and your fiend
In the name of He who fashioned all
We’ve traveled long to find the tainted seed
That has plagued this land for so long”
James and John:
“Your plight is in vain for even you
Shudder and believe
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear nothing except He who can destroy my soul
Oh! My! God!
Give us strength to destroy you foe
So that your name might be known
Through the seeds in us you’ve sown”
Nanabozho:
“Place the children at the tree
And feed them the life of eternity
Then find me before he casts me in to darkness again”
James and John:
ἔξελθε τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἀκάθαρτον ἐκ τοῦ ἀνθρώπο
(“Come out of the man you unclean spirit!)
Nanabozho:
“What have they done?
I’m burning as if in the sun
Though I’m fading, this isn’t my ending
I’ll rise again and you will know then
That you’re never going to be with Him”

The Widow Maker
Darkness descends
Ravaging the land
And the works of men
Can’t put this to an end
But lo, a stallion rides in to the midst
And seals the evil from within
The darkness cannot take his mind
But aims to destroy every man in sight
Three days of destruction and this noble steed
Fights for death to end the darkness bound to him
As he falls to the ground
A man reaches out
And lifts the horses head
And speaks to him
He rises to his feet
The spirit has been made weak
The steed has been revived
By a blinding light inside
Oh and they ride!
The lives of those now slain
Have not been spent in vain
We must gather all of man
Against this titan
The plans of mice and men are feeble in the end
For the Master’s plan is right and is the only way to life
The lives of those now slain have not been spent in vain
We must gather all of men to war with this titan
