The Immaculate Dogma (Adjusted) (Remastered)

Japanese metal, heikyoku, Female vocals, Hōgaku, rising tension, complex harmonies

(Haiku - Opening)
Mountains shape the sky,
tides will rise and fires burn—
the Dragons endure.

(Intro - The Mons and Antitheses)
Emulate Mela, the storm’s embrace, bearer of the Transcendent Fan of the Five Winds.
Beware the Sickly Whore, who wastes her gifts in vanity.

Emulate Hesiesh, the patient fire, keeper of the Three Candles Lighting Darkness.
Beware the Illiberal Churl, who observes tradition yet understands nothing.

Emulate Daana’d, the tide unbroken, she who swims in the Crashing Wave That Swallows.
Beware the Unmanly Babbler, who wails for aid yet lifts no hand.

Emulate Sextes Jylis, the hand that heals, guardian of the Leaf Upraised in Vigor.
Beware the Inconsiderate Horseman, who tramples the future for his ease.

Emulate Pasiap, the unshaken stone, crowned by the Omphalos Triumphant.
Beware the Ostentatious Peasant, who seeks work’s rewards but values not enlightenment.

They shaped the world. They stand eternal. To walk their path is to rise. To stray is to fall.

(Verse 1 - Mela)
Born in storm and battle’s cry,
Mela soared while others sighed.
Wind that shields and guides the blade,
Perfection sought, and never swayed.
Glory fades like fleeting breath,
But skill remains true until one’s death.
To strive, to rise, to meet the call—
In mastery, we stand, not fall.

(Chorus)
They fly among storms, they shape the tides,
They burn the profane, they heal the realm, they rise.
They move the stone, they forge the way—
We carry the Dragons’ legacy within us to this day.

(Verse 2 - Hesiesh)
Grand flame, reserved yet bright,
Hesiesh kept his essence contained, fighting with only limbs and mind.
Not for greed, nor vain display,
But for after the battle was won—when the dead fed decay.
He unleashed his fire to cleanse the land,
Offering those final ashen prayers as he had planned.
One great spark, one perfect glow,
The greatest of wisdom in restraint he showed.

(Pre-Chorus)
They do not waver, do not bend,
They guide the world, they shape and tend.
Their hands have directed us to the path we tread,
In the place of the Dragons the virtuous will stand.

(Verse 3 - Daana’d)
Daana’d swam where none would dare,
Beneath the waves, without air.
The Underworld she sealed, the anathema she chained,
So the demons would not be born again.
No cries for aid, no hands outstretched,
Her strength was hers alone to possess.
For in the depths, in that weightless space,
One finds resolve, one knows their place.

(Chorus - Extended)
They fly among storms, they shape the tides,
They burn the profane, they heal the realm, they rise.
They move the stone, they forge the way—
We carry the Dragons’ legacy within us to this day.
Through battle, wisdom, trial, and pain,
In virtue’s path, their wills remain.

(Verse 4 - Sextes Jylis)
Through cinders walked Sextes Jylis,
Where war had left the land amiss.
Yet from the blackened, broken ground,
He sowed the seeds, he called to the boughs.
Not wrath, nor woe, nor grief he gave,
But hands that healed, that shaped, that saved.
For strength is not in blade alone,
But in life, the fields, the home.

(Bridge - Pasiap)
Last to emerge, first to mortals teach,
From Pasiap’s lessons came geomancy.
The weight of toil, the worth of sweat,
In every stone, his oath was set.
He did not mourn what war had lost,
But raised anew through trial and cost.
For nothing made can stand in pride,
If effort’s truth is cast aside.

(Final Chorus)
They fly among storms, they shape the tides,
They burn the profane, they heal the realm, they rise.
They move the stone, they forge the way—
We carry the Dragons’ legacy within us to this day.
Their wills still guide the path we tread,
Their virtues resound in our steps.

(Haiku - Closing)
Five dragons endure,
shaping the world with their hands—
we rise in their wake.
