Lyric Video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcTRyKqjG80

"The Great Game" - a mythical contest of war and wits fought between the four Ruinous Powers. The Dark Gods ally with one another only when it suits them, and often fight against each other for the most spurious reasons. Tzeentch, Slaanesh, Nurgle, and Khorne constantly compete to become the most powerful of the Chaos Gods. They are united only in their determination to finally destroy the mortal world

lyrics

A battle for the great beyond
The never-ending war
A four-way struggle of power
For victory with no end in sight
Those who bare the mark fall upon their supremacy

Divinity
Souls are taken for eternity
Aeons of immortal plight

If the end shall come
It cycles back

Sentience from life and unending plagues
Sentience from love, death, and rebirth

The garden of flesh grows so warm
The rot takes shape in his immortal realm

Stir the cauldron, to spread his love
His affection comes with many gifts

Sentience from war
Decapitating for the Blood God
Fill his kingdom with the skulls of all
Who seek but do not fall
Ascend to godhood and tremble
As he cares not

Of what you’ve become
A lesser god

The Great Game
Claiming all things in their war
Those who bare the mark fall upon their calamity

Insanity
Recycle souls for eternity
Aeons of mortal plight

The un-quenching lust
For the unfulfilling prostration
Bathing in immoral excess

We become
Mindless suffering, ceaseless atrophy
Aimless, brainless meat
Bliss for all
