1. BLACKTHORN WINTER

Let there be cold, doom and dark!
The ground's barren, the trees are stark
Let there be blizzard an' mist!
Wake up, carnivorous beast!

Consume the needless, tear the weak
Run more quickly, prowl an' seek
I strike my staff upon the ground
Nothing living shall be found

My fierce white hounds, with eyes of red
Howl through the night, a paean to the dead
Astromancy let me know
That tonight someone will be reborn

O, wind that rages all night long
Wrap the maid and sing her a song
Oh, my great sloe! Lull the forlorn
By your mortiferous thorn!

Open your chest towards me
An' venesect your veins, for art
Will live in thee

You're what must winter
You're what must live

Permafrost will kiss your aching scores
Thou will sense tenebrose force

You're what must live

Her solitude is a sign
Of powers beyond a lifetime
Some tears never will dry
But inspire you to try.

Neomenia! Somber hecatomb!
Make a shelter in my gloom.
Take this thorn into your heart
Sleep, while it grows your part

The spine inside me
It leads me away
But keeps me for a following day

You're what must live
You are what must wait
Lustrate at this night.


2. EDEN BEAST

Martyr, martyr with a lambent hallo
Are there shadows in heaven's garden?
The most deviant
Perfect creation
Of our thoughts
In the Universe

The tauricornous behind the headboard
Whispers bloodcurdling stories
My beast friend
Scratch me to bleed
Dig out
An' drag me out

Beast within, come out and show your true aspect
Eden beast

The apple-tree was purified
The snake was expelled, but you are still here
Hang me on branches
Between these atrous leaves
This is the best
Deodate for your shrine!

Beast within, come out and show your true aspect
Eden beast
Eden beast
Eden beast

An angel with a flaming sword exiles them
And we go to the dusky side
Our yearning eyes
Penetrate the night


3. WILL-O'-THE-WISP

Don't keen for the immortal
Crystal strings of a stream
Flow under the moon's smile
Forward an' heavenward
Far away

Will-o'-the-wisp knows its way,
It levitates through sleepy, pacificatory pall
And she weeps bitter tears at a crucifix on a wall

For she does not know
It won't evanesce
In this aerial last quest

Try to overcome your pain
You know, my God comes through my deepest wounds
My path is unknown but no matter where I go, I'll be with you

Crystal strings of a stream
Flow under the moon's smile
Forward and heavenward
We'll meet one day
