Analysis of No soil no soul no foe
I have scourged earth..
Killed some loves and witness the bitter tears of many motherhood
I have swinged my emotions like a samurai sword
Every slash chances sent journeys through immortal portals
I, the same lamb forged to armor by worthless angels
Buried smiles of infant savoured by older truth
The rose harvest and bursted flesh forth thorns
None to judge this ruin so I bite my opium
No scary nights now, no more legendary legion
Furnace sword of impatient perfection but enough for the kill
Hell defeated at it's best
Who is worthy to duel ?
My soul devoted
This lifetime sacrificed
My veins offering this altar reject
My cold body this grave won't rest
The trophied skulls cries for mercy
My heart is blank now or maybe numb
I want this fight now, I want this war..
I'm not sure of today but I'll live further than morrow
