Skulls Adorn the Traitor's Gate

Obscure whispers of conspiracy enemies behind the gates

Selling their souls for silver betrayal of their kin and faith

Offering their treacherous hands out of opportune desires

To the merciless invaders who scavenge and scourge with fire

Walls built to endure a siege of a 1000 years

Protector of the menaced realm harboring those in fear

Fortifications indestructible holding out against the hordes

Yet a poisonous fruit of betrayal ripening behind the palace doors

Insidious conspiring by emissaries of treason

Poisonings and murder in a cloak and dagger game

The mantle of deceit covering the face of betrayal

Assassinations occur perpetrators shrouded in mystery

Skulls they adorn the traitor's gate headless and scorned

Skulls they adorn the traitor's gate headless and scorned

Rumors of the black hand plotting for the collapse

Generating fear and distrust hope turns into despair

Ruthless attempts to uncover the menace behind the palace walls

Disloyalty of inner circles blossoming flower of distrust

Imminent acts of sabotage hold the keys to the gate

Need to master the turmoil or meet a desperate fate

Heinous behaviour to be halted or lose the reigns of power

Conspirators to unmask to avoid certain defeat

Skulls they adorn the traitor's gate headless and scorned

Skulls they adorn the traitor's gate headless and scorned

Disgracefully unmasked and their true faces are revealed

Swift execution of the traitors after prolonged torture to confess

Vengeful decapitations no mercy for the snakes

Ravens picking the flesh their skulls adorn the gates

Skulls they adorn the traitor's gate headless and scorned

Skulls they adorn the traitor's gate headless and scorned
