Horns of Hattin

Lyrics to Cypher King

The Holy Land retreats in slumber

A serpent coiled deep down under

Unclean walls destroyed by imperial decree

The Cypher King still beckoning

Buried vaults of reckoning

The palace rendered absolute in ascendancy

Divine

Is what they seek

Unprecedented treasure

Impregnable supremacy

Knights

Noble and supreme

Undermine the Rock

Rooting out the key

Tunnelling their heretic path

Through the davidian Temple Mount

Chiselling through the Rock until its core is found

In a heavy mallet stroke

The spirits in the pits awoke

The walls between the dark and light collapse, eleven souls ignite

Divine

Is what they seek

Unprecedented treasure

Impregnable supremacy

Knights

Noble and supreme

Undermine the Rock

Rooting out the key

Hammering

The stench of years of sweat

Clamoring

Their pains they now forget

Bashing

Against that hollow wall

Smashing

In empty space the pieces fall

Shining from the dark within

The sceptre of the Cypher King

Summoned demons, Seraphim

The Baphomet, Jesus severed head

Absolute power

Stunning wealth

Puppet strings

Pulled in stealth

Sacerdotium

Imperium

From prosperity

To treachery

The Cypher King still beckoning

Buried vaults of reckoning

The palace rendered absolute in ascendancy

Divine

Is what they seek

Unprecedented treasure

Impregnable supremacy

Knights

Noble and supreme

Undermine the Rock

Rooting out the key
