The Bandar Sign - Nocturnus AD

There is a symbol in history, that was one of three

The others could be used alone, but one must never be shown

For if seen with the naked eye, your soul will eternally die

Visions of the Mad Arab, the three seals of Masshu

A ritual being performed

Priests of Nar Marratu conjuring great Kutulu from Sunken Varloorni

The Bandar Sign

The space, between the lines

The Bandar Sign

From the tree behind

Conjuring the fire god, Lord of The Watchers

Who dwell in ancient Ur

Three symbols on a stone, glowing flaming red

Gate to the outside

The Bandar Sign

The space, between the lines

The Bandar Sign

From the tree behind

The gate walking ritual begins

Shedding their human skin

Dressed in black hooded robes

Their faces began to glow

Chanting their ancient prayers

These evil soothsayers

In a language quite unknown

Their silver tongues shown

Chanting ancient lines

Waving gleaming knives

The stone began to rise

Underneath the floating stone arose a mighty stench

Appears a serpent’s tail

As it slithers from the hole, followed by many others

The ground began to tremble

The priests chanting hysterically as they cut into their chests

As their blood flows to the ground

Seeing this in horror and letting out a scream

Now I have been seen

Interrupting their ritual, their eyes fell upon me

Sealing my fate (Sealing my fate)

As I ran into the night, I stumbled and fell

And turned to fight

As I looked all around, just robes on the ground

No bodies could be found

All that remained were piles of slime, no other trace could I find

Was this all in my mind?

All in my mind
