Lich King V: Stalemate

from The Omniclasm by Lich King

/

lyrics

And in time, the shell of Earth
Continues to rattle with war
Dead world under a dead sky
Nothing here worth fighting for
Five point four billion years
of unending battle and siege
Unrelenting immortals
Triumph remains out of reach

All the horizon is filled with an eye
which watches, unblinking and red
Swollen, distended, the giant grows larger
and brushes the exosphere’s edge
The two last things in the world,
so consumed with the fight, fail to notice the sun
has eclipsed all the sky with its solar flares skirling
Earth’s final hour has come

War wages on

The corpse lord, the Lich King
grows weary at last of the game
Grasps the nature of stalemate
Victory cannot be claimed
The Nucleomancer
too young to be bored with the bout
Goes on, unthinking,
Not knowing his enemy’s doubt

The King forms an idea while
fireballs burst and the acid rays sing through the air
A lateral plan for a straightforward monster,
foe must remain unaware
Waiting for a fury from the solar storm
He will take wounds and seem to fall
And, once seeming defeated, will melt
off and find the true way to destroy every thing,
one and all

The sun, dying
The land, cracked
The living, long vanquished
The sky, black
The storm thunders
The fire descends
The foe, unmindful
The King will now transcend

One final volley

about

Lich King Greenfield, Massachusetts

We create new old-school thrash metal in the vein of EXODUS, VIO-LENCE, S.O.D., SLAYER and others.

We think the sound of thrash was perfected in the 80’s and we’re not trying to add anything to the mix. We’re just coming up with riffs and songs that the old masters didn’t.
