1. THE CLEANSING FIRE

As candles burn into the night
I chant the summonings of ritual...magick!

The Arts of Death, I embrace
Gathered unto this realm, to summon forth the spirits
Of the Dead
Rise through thy summonings, I call unto thee
From beyond the unseen, yet clearly visible

These rites performed this night
A calling from the spirits that lie restless beyond the gates

I have placed my existence in your existence

I have served, I have been, I always shall be elite
Through ancient pathworkings and the arts of extreme being

The Arts of death I ambrace, your soul is mine
With ritual candles burning, never ending

Keep the fires burning, burning, burning...

May the dead rise and smell the incense burning!

The cleansing fire, I have been - of self-awakening, and of discipline

Through rites of the flames, I unleash the powers of the dragon
I call forth to thee through arcane ancient arts
Rise through the black smoke
Bringer of chaos, fire, and destruction
Unleash the battles, the craft of the elite
The crossroads to victory

These rites performed this night
A calling from the spirits
That lie restless beyond the gates

As candles burn into the night
I chant the summonings of ritual magick

Ancient Moon, Ancient Winds, Ancient Fires, Ancient Arts


2. FROM THE ASTRAL ABYSS

Winds from the freezing cold black abyss
Storms from beyond the seas of churning chaos

Nocturnal starwinds, unveil the realms beyond!

What was written purely book of lies
Scrolls of legendry reveal strength and pride

Through the dark sorcery wisdom of darkness!

Wisdom from a dying age
Through the powers of the serpent of the dark rise from beyond

Conjured from the distant seas thy sigils are seen in flames

Summoned are the rites unto the moon
Through the stars we lead the wrath
Far beyond distant realms
Through the gates we have been

From the astral abyss

Through the cold of the abyssmal nocturne, awaken!
I call to thee through the distant realms of the endless seas of stars
From my summonings i conjure thee, tiamat, ancient dragon
With ritual candles burning rise, rise from the astral abyss...

Summoned are the rites
Unto the moon
Through the stars we lead the wrath
Far beyond distant realms
In the gates we have been


3. UNDYING DARKNESS

Riding to battles the dark lands
With torches burning
The smoke of war is here
Rise thy kingdom of hatred

Unleash the fury of the storms

Through the dark endless silence
Beyond the veil of night
Sounded are the horns of war
Into the nocturnal kingdom of night

I have summoned thee, through chaos sorcery
Dragon of the abysmal seas
Rise through the flames of ritual
The eye of the flame now before me

Through ritual and ancient ceremonial summonings
Winds from the chilly north are so unforgiving
Through ancient sorcery I now call to thee

Great demons from beyond the distant seas - awaken!

Summoned from the dark and distant realms of the abysmal seas
Beyond the veil of the stars where the darkness is undying

Through thy crat, conjurations of the ancient spirits
Summoning the nightside, through the dragon's eye

Through the dark endless silence
Byond the veil of night
Sounded are the horns of war
Into the nocturnal kingdom of night


4. ANCIENT WINTER WINDS

In the winter darkness, through dark shadows of old
Come thy winds of ancient
Summoned from beyond
Through ritual magick, rise through the flames

The curse unleashed, the earth is damned
Nothing remains - destroyed by fire

Raising spirits through the rites of the moon
Calling forth thy legions summoned from the night realm

The curse unleashed, the earth is damned
Nothing remains - destroyed by fire

The seals of demons set forth to rise
The calling of infernal storms
Rise unto this realm, dragon of the abyss
With wings of fire, set forth your chaos

Through the rites of the fires, the winds have been summoned
Through the flames, the ancient dragon of darkness shall rise again

Opening the gates to the unknown through rites of the moon
Calling upon thy legions through flames and circle of fire

Rise unto this realm, dragon of the abyss
With wings of fire, set forth your chaos
Through the rites of the fires the winds have been summoned
Through the flames the ancient dragon of darkness shall rise again

The curse unleashed, the earth is damned
Nothing remains - destroyed by fire

In the winter darkness, through the dark shadows of old
Come thy winds of ancient
Summoned from beyond
Through ritual magick, rise through the flames
Ceremonial summonings, set forth now the winds!


5. THE GATES BEYOND THE STARS

I evoke thee, by sword and fire
From the nocturnal planes
Cast forth the ancient winds and walk thy path
As wolves cry my name

I unleash thy curse under a full moon

I gaze through the eyes of the dragon
Summon forth the winds of pure hatred
Demon of the spectral realm, rise!

I call forth and summon thee
Through the black churning seas of chaos

Carry me through the realms of the nocturne
Carry me towards the kingdom of the dragon's throne

Once pass beyond the gates
Into the world of the abyss
A blacks storm rises from the depth of the seas
And whispers its very essence to me
From the cold and dark abyssmal nocturne
Visions reveal the pathway to the dragon throne

Under the light of a full moon i release the secrets of fire
And open the portal to the gates beyond the stars

I call forth and summon thee
Through the black churning seas of chaos

Carry me through the realms of the nocturne
Carry me towards the kingdom of the dragon's throne

I evoke thee, by sword and fire
From the nocturnal planes
Cast forthe the ancient winds and walk they path
As wolves cry my name

I unleash thy curse, under a full moon!


6. PALACE IN THE FOG

The dawn of a new age of hades
A cold sense from the nightside
Where darkness has come forth to reveal its cill

As we pass beyond the night realm
Winds of time blow like the tides

Conjurations of ancient demons
To rise through the black of night
Appear before me, i command thee to rise

Summoned through astral powers
Eternal darkness i shall chant
Winds of the abyss reveal veils unseen
The essence of fire cleansing purity

I bring forth now the powers of evil
Come forth now goddess of the night

The cold of the dark
Endless vast dimensions
Black diamond shining star
Nocturnal starwinds reveal

The gates unto the abyss unlocked
I call forth the celestial powers of the ancient ones
A sense of the ages through fire
Winds of creation cast through the abysmal seas

Within the cold silence of night
Fires ablaze with smoke into the nightside

Conquering the quest for eternal darkness
Dynasty palace of hate and evil
Drifting away into the night we ride

Into the dark of night's palace, where it's cold and dark...


7. SUMMONING THE INFERNAL STORM

Transcending through the realms of chaos
Storming with the winds
I cast my spell through the stars
Black storms of the infernal realms

Soaring through the night we ride
Come to rule as kings of the night
The blood of the dragon shall rise

Upone a blackened earth we shall rise agaon
To spread our wings across the lands

Gazing through the night's stars
Freezing winds guide me through the night

My eyes see visions of witherin heavens
Satan's legions rule the night
Those who caress the night with lust
Shall be victorious in their search for blood

Sworn to battle and to rise again
Tiamat devours blood over the living
Summoned from the black night
That shall reign again

Legions call forth their hail
I possess of their infernal powers
Unleashing the great battles
To honor this life through blood


8. THE WISDOM WITHIN

In the black sky winds storm and rain
Through the ancient forest, I can see
Withering visions of mountains frozen in cold
Landscapes covered in snow
Through the black shadows can be seen
Raven wings sweeping through the skies
Under the moonlight - the raven watches
Freezing winds scream through the trees

The rites of fire, the realms of awareness, the wisdom within

Through the forest shadows I have seen
Raven wings sweep through the skies
Under the moonlight - the raven watches
The rites of ancient sorcery I now perform
Through powers of long ago
The spirits of ancients rise up through
My summonings and conjurations of fire

The rites of the nightside have been summoned
Pathworkings of the ancient moon
Chanting the summonings of ceremonial magick
With ritual fires burning into the night
Opening the gates - the fires that raise the spirits from beyond!

Throught the blaze of the fire, winds carry the storms of night
The night so black and cold, the stars so bright and still
The wandering moon, so distant and powerful - and in full

Raven in flight passing through the moonlight
Riding on starwinds, soaring into the night so black
Guarding the gates beyond

The unveiling of night - the essence of darkness
Through nightside rites and summonings of fire - keep hold of the flame
Unleashing the spirits of darkness through ritual flames and offerings
I call forth the winds of the Infernal Kingdom
Come unto this realm - release the dragon of chaos

Raven in flight passing through the moonlight
Riding on starwinds, soaring into the night so black
Guarding the gates beyond
