Prologue 00:43
2.
I stood there and beheld how it erupted, As the fire refused bowing to the mud, The command was clear and I had prostrated, As I looked up, I found him defying to sway, I shall not bow to one created from clay, This creation is stillborn, I shall not bow to the vermin, Is this the one whom thou honored above me? If thou but respite me to the day of eternity, I shall bring him under my sway, I shall lead him to the point of dismay, And all his descendants shall go astray, I shall not bow to one created from clay, This creation is stillborn, Go thy way if any of them followeth thee, Verily hell shall be recompensed for him and thee, Go thy way if any of them followeth thee, Verily hell shall be recompensed for him and thee, I had no power over thee, But to call you and yet you listened to me, So reproach me not, for I am a servant of thee, I shall not listen to thy cries, Nor shall thou listen to mine, So suffer and scream for the rest of eternity,

Fear No Evil 05:35
I see the dark inside the light, A taste of purity within the blight This is the soothing figure of fright, It’s obscure and blindingly bright A stream of visions penetrates my mind Fear no evil whispered the shadow The message is clear, time is here, I have been told Read the word, a reader I'm not, Read the word and you shall behold The word smiting the wicked With the wand of the old Thou art the light within the night, The divine incarnation of right Thou seeth all clearly from that height Tell thy word through my heart And by thy word all shall abide Art thou, I, and the universe sole And if so why am I to grow old And of the future am I untold Thou art the martyr the killer and the sword so forgive us for we are strayed As above and so below thy will is all that we shall uphold A maelstrom of confused souls screaming for salvation Floating towards the light of God, hungering for redemption Thou art the light within the night, The divine incarnation of right This is the soothing figure of fright, It’s obscure and blindingly bright Tell thy word through my heart And by thy word all shall abide Read the word and you shall behold And if so why am I to grow old? Thou art the martyr, the killer and the sword so forgive us for we are strayed As above and so below thy will is all that we shall uphold A maelstrom of confused souls screaming for salvation Floating towards the light of God, hungering for redemption

Babel 04:06
Feast on your own flesh Burn yet never die This is the end for you Eternally scream and weep Death was only the doorway Now gulp your puts for the sins you did Your life was a test you failed The 19 shall keep you here; you fiend Why should we be doomed to hell? This shall not be We shall rise up And claim our right to heaven. Let us build our path And take what’s rightfully ours. Rise To heaven We rise Rise With blood and stone we build the path to the eternal realm our arms will reach the sky Man shall prevail Alive, we choose our fate Raise your hammers and sickles None will be damned God awaits at hand the more we fail the more we try death is haunting every corner years pass by many die there's no room for rest or peace the more we try the more we fail a curse is carved in every stone years pass by many die here's no room for rest or peace Feast on your own flesh Burn yet never die This is the end for you Eternally scream and weep Death was only the doorway Now gulp your puts for the sins you did Your life was a test you failed The 19 shall keep you here; you fiend

Oblivion 09:50
My lips to the trumpet are sealed As the first tune I sing Prevails for all to hear Awakening the first king Below the heavens they scatter In pain beholding, screaming, howling The one eyed savior descends The grand deceit begins Seven leans enslaved under the reign of the one eyed savior Seven leans herding Man Slaughtering those who oppose the deformed for Seven years man shall stray All hope is lost, doom and pain Are all they see, the torment shall last Eternally, suffocating upon the imposter’s Bidding to the day they die I watch them hopelessly seek Evidently unreachable closure or death More the blood is spilt More his power compels Compels rain to descend Invincible, he awakes the dead The light is here, conquering fear, they’re no more in solitude The word descends to smite the wicked, now is time for fortitude Time to revolt and strike him down, they shall feast on his burning flesh Marching towards oblivion (x3) Longing for oblivion Giants arise from beneath the earth Man shall stand Under the banner of the iron rod They must fight Do not be intimidated, Raise your sword Facing death, you must stand tall Gather your wits, you rise or fall Marching, towards oblivion (x3) Longing, for oblivion Marching towards oblivion (x3) Vanishing into oblivion The light is here, conquering fear, they’re no more in solitude The word descends to smite the wicked, now is time for fortitude Time to revolt and strike him down, they shall feast on his burning flesh

Abyss 06:04
Why have you forsaken me? Enlight the bleak uncertainty Into the abyss you’ve sent me away from thee By thy word shall thy eternal providence be The disobedient serpent Believed he was equal The fallen waged against his will Banished from heaven was he Once close to the almighty In the darkest pit of fire he dwells Black flames burning in the heart of the great furnace Sights of woe Endless torture awaits the defier of the master Righteous pain There roams the dweller, restrained and yet immortal Feeble, he cries In this infinite silence, he staggers in dismay A word then breaks the cycle His brother in arms Why have you forsaken me? Enlight the bleak uncertainty Into the abyss you’ve sent me away from thee By thy word shall thy eternal providence be O brother, we’re now shackled Instead of drowning in grace We’re doomed to the end of time Don’t succumb to the bleak, comrade We’ve not given up our hatred We shall never yield Thy deception and mine courage Shall spark the ultimate war None shall stand in our way Don’t succumb to the bleak, comrade We’ve not given up our hatred We are not to be overcome We proclaim apostasy Unconquerable will, immortal hate We proclaim apostasy Thou shalt not extort that glory from me Why have you forsaken me? I shall unleash my rage on thee Into the abyss you’ve sent me away from thee Repentance for the weak, I am not he

about

SAQAR's first EP "The Reckoning" is both an epic and a universal symbolism of eternal fight between the good and evil within every person and how it started with the first disobedience. The album art depicts a hellish version of the garden of Eden with Satan and the Serpent hiding and laughing within the trees, while a female figure, holding a red apple and flames in her hands.
