1. RED MONARCH

Ripping through the heavens, bleeding out the crimson sun
We set the earth to flames, as we gather 'round

Beneath a mask of mist, thy will be done
Altars of moss erected, to the kings of the golden dawn

Staring through hollow eyes, speaking with silver tongues
We hang our ruptured hearts, and clutch our heads in shame

The empire lays in ruin, defiled and dethroned
The fallen path of man, the kings come crashing down

The new flock beckons us, from beneath our hearth
Reclamation is at hand, red monarch rises forth


2. BLACK BILE

Melancholy, cold and dry, black and sour
Bride of blood, purged from the spleen

Melancholy, so low, so depressed
A calloused heart, on a northern path

Tie the tourniquet, open a vessel
My cup runneth over, with blood and bile

Heartbeat slows, euphoria, sedation
As pressure falls, sickness flows away

Sanguine, hot and moist, sweet and red
Bride of bile, begotten of the heart

Sanguine, passion and laughter
Lost love spoken, on an eastern wind

Slipping away, healed


3. WORMWOOD

Through wormwood leaves and anise seed
Give rise absinthe, addiction never cease

My mind fades
Now I see
The green fairy

Glass set aflame, green curse of france
Just one more drink, addiction never cease

Pain of mind
Parched with thirst
I tip my glass
Upon my lips
I drift away
Apsinthion
Even glory has a bitter taste


4. PRAISE THE WITCH

Praise the witch, her cries
Presage our death's release

Unchanged by time, immortal
Her gift, her curse, eternal

In life, we toil, in prayer, we're doomed
White lady of sorrow, set me free

Wailing prophet, dark omen
Eyes of fire, from centuries of weeping

My pain, absolved
