Nordikult - The Artifacts Burden

The flames of hate burn higher
Each passing day a curse
Followed the path of darkness
Which led to this abyss
Over the crimson skyline found deep in ice and snow
Lied mankind's greatest secret
A legend carved in stone
Containing sacred knowledge
Thought lost through tales of old
Relics spoken of in whispers
In candlelight and robes
I wandered hopeless into the crypt of elders
Undisturbed for centuries
Their crowns remained untattered
Through waging wars and conflict
Their temples had become shattered
And when it did end
Our history was buried in the snow
Stained in blood, this ancient artifact
Through blinded eyes, the truth we never could see
Stare into the abyss and it will stare right back at you
I've become omniscient, through powers from the stones
Unearthed at last deciphered
Written in manuscript
These tablets implications
Tell us where we all come from
Stained in blood this ancient artifact
Through blinded eyes, you claimed that you can still see
Soils once soaked in warlords blood
Spilled in rage and hatred
What's read contained in cuneiform
Battles to find these tablets
A war without an end
As they march on unmarked graves
Now millions are dead
And I'm the one who's being hunted now
The flames of hate burn higher now
Inheriting this curse
Knowing the truth between the lies
Has been my greatest danger
It's been forewarned that those who know
Are sure to take my last breath
I still hear their screams
As they are burned under the moonlight
They're dancing in the shadows
On the graves of fallen kindred
