Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a being of death and pain
I've been around for a long, long time
Stole many a man's soul and fate

And I was 'round when the last Priest-King
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that the Twelve Times Twelve
Raised their Hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you 
Is the nature of my game

Stuck around Sylvania
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Amaranth screamed in vain

I rode a sky-tank
In a general's rank
When the Plaguebringers raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
What's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I watched the gleam
While the Nordikan kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Bosch they made

I shouted out
"Who killed the Astromancer?"
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a being of death and pain
And I plotted course for the Saboath
When the Himar was split in twain

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners Saints
As I end this tale
Just call me Amenlichtli
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well learned qualities
Or I'll lay your soul to waste
