pazuzu - introduction lyrics

hark my friend: for an ancient tale i tell.
it is written that five mighty emperors will die
and their ancient palaces will a furious being.
nine kingdoms will unite under one hand.
a roaring sea beneath the earth; a churning lake of sour tears.
one black raven for every wind will tear the crystal eyes.
now, as the final night proudly enrobes the land,
a whisper is heard in the sky... awaken the dragon.
