Forged out of mighty steel
Sharpened by the grinding wheel
Shining with crimson light
It's prepared to win the fight
A mighty warrior holds it high
He is not afraid to die
Their glory is world renown
They hold their enemies spellbound
They ride into battle
to defend their land
Mighty warriors with swords in hand
Oh! Sword of Rubies
In your sapphire sheath
Won't you come out to fight
And kill our enemies
Riding on the battlefield
The sword is cracking every shield
Coming to the castle-hold
Where inside lies the king of old
His wickedness and tyranny
Will be his undoing indeed
The evil king will be cast down
The rightful heir will take the crown
We need your power now
we must win the battle somehow
And you will lead us on
to certain victory
Oh! Sword of Rubies
In your sapphire sheath
Won't you come out to fight
And kill our enemies
The rightful heir takes up the crown
And he shall rule over all that he sees
Oh! Sword of Rubies
In your sapphire sheath
Won't you come out to fight
And kill our enemies

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
