To sit amongst the empty sky

 

Looking down counting lies

 

A contrast of purple and black

 

Temptations on the attack

 

Observe from holy towers

 

Invoked names of perfidious powers

 

Reaping the sigils due

 

Some for me and some for you

 

Umbral promises none see through

 

Beneath stars where secrets dwell

 

A pact borne beyond heaven and hell

 

From spires they watch and wait

 

Liars marching beyond perdition's gates
