Deep in the mountains of the once summer lands Where fierce Capricorn display their horns in defiance Where ancient fires still burn in their ancient shrines Veneration in the shade of seven towers Devote worship of the peacock-feathered angel Dark traditions survive the woes of time Fallen pride bestowing wisdom on mankind Prime angel who bows before no lord Obscure whispers under many conquering crowns Semblance of Shaitan traced to ancient heresies Proselytism on the rise Extermination looms overhead Desecration of the sacred shrines And decapitators wield their blunted blades Black banners rise Religious genocide Black banners burning Yet the angel stands upright Banners in black Banners in flames These banners burn Banners aflame Mass extermination, Neo-Caliphate conversion Delivery to slavery and death Monotheist aberration, rabid extremism True interpretation of the book Merciless persecution, thousands driven from their homes Sanctuary they find not Thousands being captured, thousands being slaughtered Yet still the flame carries on Banners in black Banners in flames These banners burn Banners aflame Banners in black Banners in flames These banners burn Banners aflame Ceaseless barbarism, endless antagonism For the building of the martyr state Arrogant expansion through warfare inhumane These banners cannot hold the storm Obscure whispers under many conquering crowns Semblance of Sheitan traced to heresies primeval Whose flame still burn while zealot is destroyed Visions lie in shatters, the prophet's dreams in tears
