Текст песни Gladiolus (Orphan's Oath) - Krosis

Contentious life, its forebearer
And failure is the trodden orphan
Gladiolus!

Exhausted of all recognizance
Enduring all the tribulation
To whom must we kneel to be free of this realm?
What can we be, if not reduced?
Ravished by the laws of soulless kin
To whom must we kneel to be free of this realm?

Warm embrace of thine orphan
Becoming rigid and hypothermic
Thine carcass slack, I hurl the child upon my back
Into the ever-realm, I seek its baseless resurrection

Orphan rescind

Nowhere will I find repentance for this
Without any concept of bliss
Continuance of miscreance
Mephistophelean!

I bathe in the fountains of guilt
A wholly perpetual passion to kill
What must I do to beseech exoneration?
What must I do to be free of this realm?
