Azrai of the Thousand Lies

Released

He was not slain… He was concealed… Not destroyed… Only revealed… Azrai… Azrai… In marble halls of ancient pride Where silver banners once were raised He spoke in silk and veiled the truth And left the ageless kingdoms dazed He bent the stars with whispered spells He veiled the blade in friendly guise The fairest folk with immortal eyes Were blinded by his thousand lies Not by fire Not by blade But by the words The dark god made Azrai! Azrai! Lord of shadow, mind, and guile Azrai! Azrai! Truth is twisted by your smile Through whispered oath and poisoned dream Nothing ever what it seems Azrai! Azrai! All bow to the unseen scheme! They named him traitor, named him dead They swore his age of lies was done But gods of shadow do not fall They fracture — then become as one In faithful flesh his will returns In armored hand, in hidden art Not born of flame or mindless rage But quiet knives within the heart Through silent pact Through hidden sign Through broken crown His will is mine Azrai! Azrai! Lord of shadow, mind, and guile Azrai! Azrai! Truth is twisted by your smile Through whispered oath and poisoned dream Nothing ever what it seems Azrai! Azrai! All bow to the unseen scheme! Deep cultist chant Who deceived the elder race? — Azrai! Who wore a thousand shifting faces? — Azrai! Who bends the will and clouds the sight? — Azrai! Who rules the dark behind the light? — Azrai! Paladin solo line He was broken — yet never undone. In shadow reborn — we are one. Azrai! Azrai! Lord of shadow, mind, and guile Azrai! Azrai! Kings will kneel in little while Through hidden hand and secret art He takes the throne without the start Azrai! Azrai! The dark god lives within my heart!
