LYRICS:

The West wind 's erranted breeze swifted by the vivid Clay.

As the old Bataillon of invisible Forets haunt the sylvan Mount...

And the Avatar was channelling Yew 's wilderness decent

Surroundings...

To celebrate an Oath undertaken at his 19th Anniversary...

A Rebirth on the 19th of February 1991.

...This historical Alliance of the Brother Houde;

Set to Gem to Summon the Legends...

And the Elixir was delivered to the Royal Clan.

And the Elixir was delivered to the Royal Clan.

A Name, A Shape and a Number was yielded...

>From the Exhibited Landscape....From the Exhibited Landscape,

9 distincted letters were granted into a Word of sovereignty...

Then was graphed the 1st of the 9...

Gates of Kataklysmity.

A 9 pointed Star lodging the 3 crafted Sigils...

>From the Darkened Earth... From the Darkened Earth,

3 Trilogies adding 3 Trinities and 3 Volumes...

The 1st Order of the 9 has begone.

A year will come when 3 Nines will collide...

This year will be 1999.

The 1st Day of Renewal ending the year with this

1st Day of Betrayal... 666 1st

Another Rebirth on the 19th of February 1999...

A Crusader will make, himself heard...

The Awakener... 666 1st

By the Woods of the Ecclesiastic Houde.

By the Woods of the Ecclesiastic Houde.
