Old Man of the Mountain - babylonia version

[Verse] In the shadow's grip he takes his stand With a sword of dusk forged by his hand The winds they whisper his ancient name A legend wrapped in the blackest flame [Verse 2] A single strike the end he brings The final note the reaper sings Cloaked in silence he walks unseen The Old Man rules where death has been [Chorus] Fear the steps that echo slow Where the Mountain’s secrets grow A faceless judge a final call When he arrives the mighty fall [Verse 3] No mortal chain could hold his might A wraith who walks between the light Through endless sands his story flows The veiled abyss is all he knows [Bridge] “All that begins must end. So too, all that lives, dies, and in dying, value finds. Thy vaunted eternity is but hollow slumber. Beast of Disaster, evil born of mankind’s folly, thy desperate wish that thy love not go unrequited is itself thy rejection’s root. Of rank, nor station, no the title Grand have I need. Bear witness, goddess of life, to the testament writ with mine own blade. Thou fallen god, to beasthood turned, if Primordial Mother be thy title, attend, and hear my name. From the mountain abyss, I come, and only death do I bring. I am the Old Man of the Mountain, The First Hassan-i Sabbah" The bell of evening tolls thy name. Touch not the sky, for by Heaven’s will I shall strip thee of thy wings.” [Verse 4] The stars they shiver beneath his gaze The moon hides low in a spectral haze He stands alone a force untamed The Old Man’s curse cannot be claimed
