Crone 03:20
Welcome, my strays And battle torn I am the Crone I deliver scorn Will you take a chance To wield your power? Let me be your guide To the wizard's tower Strike with power (Hahahahahahaha…) Strike with fury (Hahahahahahaha…) Make them pay Break their... Will you pay the price For services rendered here? You must sacrifice You will pay with your tears A pittance of your soul For vengeance so strong The wizard strikes with wrath Your foes are gone (Hahahahahahaha!) (Hahahahahahaha!) (Hahahahahahaha!)

To carry the sword And live by its might The creed of the horde Disciples of night TYRANT’S! HORDE! Stalking their prey A force that's unseen They're chained to the blade Within the night's gleam TYRANT’S! HORDE! A time will arise When you'll come to heel As blood fills the sky You'll submit to the steel! TYRANT’S! HORDE! TYRANT’S! HORDE!

You will fear the war in my eyes Fueled by a burning rage My power sends a chill down your spine Traitors hang in the iron cage My foes drown in their tears As I burn their spirits to ash They will fall with swing of my blade How's it feel to be led by a chain? (Ahhhhhh ahhhhhhh ahhhhhhh ahhhhhh!) (Ahhhhhh ahhhhhhh ahhhhhhh ahhhhhh!) (Ahhhhhh ahhhhhhh ahhhhhhh ahhhhhh!) (Ahhhhhh ahhhhhhh ahhhhhhh ahhhhhh!) Who will stand by my side? In this world of listless decay I will test your strength and your zeal As you bear witness to my hard quest for steel (Crowd cheering)

I am the blade That cuts from within You are corrupted Enchanted by lies Empires of gold Razed by lust Through cunning I rule In deceit I trust I am the scourge That brings you to heel The lash on your back The suffering steel Empires of stone Return to dust By wrath I rule In power I trust! (Behold! The glory of our conquest) (Bask in its gleaming rays of power) (As you are blinded by its infernal light) I am the storm You cannot escape Enshrined in darkness Blighted by hate Empires of steel Will turn to rust Through hatred I rule In might I trust!

Ghastly and obscene Your life put on display The last thing that you'll see Is the gleam of my blade The gloom of the hood Imbues a sense of terror (Eeeow ough ough!!!!) With a rope around your neck I'll send you down a hole (Ehhhhhh….) (Ough!) (Ehhhhhh….) Trampled by the beast As you're torn apart! Dragged through the street Your head will serve to warn!

Warden 03:26
I crack the whip Across your back I turn the wheel On the rack! I am the Warden You’ll never forget You’re in my dungeon And you’re here to stay! (Heh heh heh…) (Heh heh heh heh…) (Ough!) (Ough!) (These feeble shackles cannot bind me.) (I am the curse you will endure for eternity!) (Hahahahahah!) (Ahahahahaha!) (Ehahahahaha!) (Hahahahahah!) Ensnared by darkness Hung on a chain Left for the rats Driven insane!

Locked away Behind the wall A grim darkness Envelops all Impending footsteps A haunting shrill You heed the warning And brace for pain But the real torture Is in your mind! The Dungeon Wench! The Dungeon Wench! (Ahhh ahhh ahhh…) The Dungeon Wench! (Ahhh ahhh ahhh…) The Dungeon Wench! (Ahhh ahhh ahhh…) The Dungeon Wench! (Ahhh ahhh ahhh…) The Dungeon Wench! (Ooooooowwwww!)

about

Lore is Cultic at their heaviest and most experimental. Combining the raw power of extreme doom, first-wave black metal, and elements of punk with churning riffs, eerie synths, pounding war drums, and bellowing horns, this album plunges into a twisted world of dark fantasy and sinister encounters.

With shorter, more focused tracks, Lore hones Cultic's sound into a raw, unrelenting force that hits harder than ever before. Each song pulls listeners deeper into its shadowy universe, where tales of power and madness unfold with unyielding intensity. Through thunderous instrumentation and evocative atmospheres, Cultic continues to shape and expand the Dungeon Metal genre. This is heavy metal at its most whimsical—dark, mystical, and unapologetically powerful.
