1. MYSTIC

Candelabras, wicks aflame
Is bound to a soul
Never escaping the destined consumption
A revolution, the intention perpetual despite the sovereigns flames

Scrolls, etchings, scriptures all tell
The tale of those who fought to remain in this hell

What they thought was a change in fate
Was really their deaths coming

Fortunate, corruption is imminent
Follow the arcane sigils
To the curse, that must corrupt your soul

Arcane sigils, burned in you
More than you through this light
What may seem like a new beginning
It's really just a new meaning


2. SOVEREIGN BLOOD

Lavish double doors open wide
Masked guests arrive, ready to hide
Extravagant cloth caressing the marble
As we await the final arrival

Awaiting the fall of the elegant
Grand pillars, opulent etchings of those before us
Dancing upon their graves like they were never here before

Drink, drink the wine
Dance, dance until you die
Blood, blood drip from the walls
Die, die for our tyrant

Drink, drink the wine
Dance, dance until you die
Blood, blood drip from the walls
Die, die for our tyrant

Let the ritual begin
Offering ourselves to her
No
No she needs more
We cannot go back

The ritual has begun
Offering ourselves to her
We have fulfilled her desires
There is no going back

Let the ritual begin
The masquerade is calling for you
There is no going back


3. TRANSMUTATION

No one can proceed me
I am the only one
No one can take my throne
For there is no one left

To take this Cathedra

The chamber, filled with their blood
Exquisite, untarnished by the land
Their sacrifice, my sustenance
And no one left to oppose me

The gates clamoring, is whomever aspires to take my place
Their mortality can't threaten my eternal existence
For those dreadful ones are nothing more than worthless beings to consume

This thunder I can stop
For I have the quintessence I demand
Whomever you may be, you shall be no more
Bend your knee

The chamber, filled with their blood
Exquisite, untarnished by the land
Their sacrifice, my sustenance
And no one left to oppose me

I will settle this hostility
This is the last moon you will gaze upon
Bellows behind me
This curse will live on

Irrational thinking,
Naïve disciples
Decrepit illusions,
The scroll of augury

Eons of design have led us to this
A new ruler will be hailed
A new ideology forged

Novum princeps
Novus ordo
Novus imperium
Ruunt praeteritum

A new ruler
Kneel before your queen
A new order
Kneel before your queen
A new empire
Bend thy knee
A past in ruin
Bend thy...


4. FORMATION

Memories slipping away from these sleeping trees
Vast ruins sing from wrecked voyages past
Calling unto me to uncover this great mystery
A mystery of life

A mystery of life
Clearing the strife
Eyes foggy with ignorance
Only bliss, can undo this deliverance

Moon of disillusion
Mystical manipulation
End your natural fear
End your natural fear


5. CONCLAVE

Beautiful awakening absorb my pain
Align the thoughts of martyrs past
Hold the ignition, scattered beliefs fill my head
Conjoin as one, create the formation of this ancient cult
Create the formation

Breathe in, breathe out
Inhale the forbidden air
Destroy all previous conceptions
Let the cult of awakening flow through, flow through

Here I come to call forth thee
By all the might of moon and sun
By all the power, of land and sea
Echo these words, intention from within

Dreamspace aligns, magical omens appear
Compel all unknown thoughts
Fear nothing, escape the grasp of time
Present the gathering, project the astral world now
Project the astral world, astral world now

Beautiful awakening absorb my pain
Align the thoughts of martyrs past
Hold the ignition, scattered beliefs fill my head
Conjoin as one

Darksome night and shining moon
East then South, West then North
Queen of Heaven, Queen of Hell
Lend your power unto my Spell

Chant the spell and it be done
Light the candle, set it ablaze tonight
Breaks all terrestrial feeling, my meditative blight

Astral realms floating in time
Physical dreams escape my mind
Dimensions of souls beckon
Enter the third heaven

Ghastly spirits ascend, condemned
Trails of stories become familiar
Within me, the future of

Astral realms floating in time
Physical dreams escape my mind
Dimensions of souls beckon
Enter the third heaven

Ghastly spirits ascend, condemned
Trails of stories become familiar
Within me, the future of

Conjuration and enchantment
Imprisoning those whom presume
They have escaped

Welcome home
Golden elaborate gates greet you
Candelabras surround
As the gates fade into fog

Flames flicker with names familiar
In stone, they form before you
Each beckons, each a lesson
Each they wish they knew


6. SCROLL OF AUGURY

The quest has been foreseen, a path unveiled
A fate unmatched
By reality
Dying lights, beautifully obscene nights
All or nothing on this lit path
Fog covered, littered with death

Be warned, this forest path
Consumes all
Consumes all
Except for your demise
Except for your demise
Except for your demise

Scroll of augury, void of empathy
Scroll of augury, void of empathy
Void of empathy
Obscured by fate
Obscured by fate
Follow the signs, the moon illuminates

The Moon illuminates, the red river of souls
Strength is the essence, rain pours from your soul

Ancient quests hold the truth of the universe
Dark shadows of the night
Accept this fate as one
Give into the light, despite the fear

Scroll of augury, void of empathy
Scroll of augury, void of empathy


7. THE ALTAR

Writing is on the walls
Follow the dark sigils glowing before
Unknown symbols, a haunting vision from the past moonlight
Enter the dark cave of light
Shed your fears for what appears
If you're not afraid, they'll show you the way

An unearthly glow, I must converge
An unearthly glow, I must converge

Tighten your grip on the candlestick
Touch the dripping walls of blood and salt
Hidden crystal caverns consumed by fractals of mist

Writing is on the walls
Follow the dark sigils glowing before
Unknown symbols, a haunting vision from the past moonlight
Pray for the altar, these ritualistic patterns
Blinded by the pillar

I am the light, I am the curse
I am the light, I am the curse
I am the light, I am the curse

The green light beams
Fading into different realms

All I know is that this light
Carries all I've seen in my mind

Steps away, pulled in by its veneration
Aura of light, nothing these eyes have seen before
Nothing these eyes have seen before
For now I have been blessed by thee

Writing is on the walls
Enter the dark cave of light
Shed your fears for what appears
If you're not afraid, they'll show you the way


8. ENCHANTMENT

Chant your intent, from the depths of the Earth
The ground unfurls with our black magic swirls

Call unto thee for tonight's death begins
Wither this life where my evil now lies
Oh spirits come, clear as night

Home of the prayer
Home of the sinner
Home of the prayer
Home of the sinner
Home of the prayer
Home of the sinner
O' mother of god
Church bells sing

Bring evil from these creepy dark caves
From the north, from the south
Oh spirits come far and between
Oh spirits come far and between

Home of the prayer
Home of the sinner
Home of the prayer
Home of the sinner
Home of the prayer
Home of the sinner
O' mother of god
Church bells sing

Chant your intent, from the depths of the Earth
The ground unfurls with our black magic swirls


9. CASTLE ON THE HILL

Fear inside of me, rules the eye of me
Sounds from a distant past
Rising through my ears
A desperate wailing of sirens
Banished for eternity
Is this all there could be?
What even is reality? What is the meaning?

Upon that hill, beyond mortal hands
Upon that hill, beyond mortal hands

Break the stone
Break the stone
Break the stone
Break the stone

Patterns in your eyes, reveal the truth of it all
Subconscious pathways hold the ignition
Break the stone

Break the stone
Break the stone
Break the stone
Break the stone

Patterns in your eyes, reveal the truth of it all
Subconscious pathways hold the ignition

Shadows consume my eyes
A fallen soul pulled from the depths
Fallen lies buried beneath my feet of ashes
A fallen soul pulled from the depths of you

To relinquish what none could ever conquest
Free of debt, only with a thread of victory
Sew this vision of triumph

Upon that hill, beyond mortal hands
Upon that hill, beyond mortal hands


10. CONDUCTING THE SCOURGE

Forest of surrender please guide my path
Bowing trees once full of lives past
A familiar scene of nature and centuries
Flashes of dreams of memories
Suffering is imminent

Conducting the scourge
Losing control
I must let go

Conducting the scourge
Losing control
I must let go

Rituals of existence, ancient gods scribe
Of this eternal dilemma
Battle the feeling, overcome mortal emotions
Listen to their voices, screams of knowledge

Within me the light to ignite the scourge
Within me the light to ignite the scourge
Holding the treasure of my quest

Peer within to find a burning emblem
Peer within to find a burning emblem
Holding the treasure of my quest

Meditation, Creation, Elation
Reveal the truth of this nightmare
End this pain in my soul
End this pain in my soul

Rid of this disease holding me by a string
Let it sing, release my sadness from above
Heaven's gate rest a monolithic stone of eternal rest

A magic of potential inquest
Eternal rest, End my quest
Forests possessed, Universe behest

Within you the light to ignite the scourge
Within you the light to ignite the scourge
Holding the treasure of my quest

Peer within to find a burning emblem
Peer within to find a burning emblem
Holding the treasure of my quest

All or nothing on this bleak path
Winds of mountains pass
Caress the feeling I have lost
Caress the feeling I have lost

Conducting the scourge
Losing control
I must let go

Conducting the scourge
Losing control
I must let go


11. COLOSSUS

Upon the open door of the castle's corridors
Holds treacherous secrets and clouded judgements
Thousands of rooms are absent of light
The night brings false spirits from the unknown
Ghostly voices whisper of secrets past
Shadows from the corner of my eyes

The quest for the truth of it all
Follow me into this spiral abyss

Uphold the dancing flames
Frozen in place by the King's name

Cold as ice, castle walls speak in bliss
Cold as ice, castle walls speak in bliss

Enter at your own fleeting risk
Mighty reward forges great risk
Enter at your own fleeting risk

The King's name unknown by the common dweller
Perhaps you shall find it in ink, to be found never

Glowing in the purple shades of lavender
Thousands of glowing windows from ages past
All dying light, time to fight

Upon the open door of the castle corridors
Holds treacherous secrets and clouded judgements
Thousands of rooms are absent of light
The night brings false spirits from the unknown

The bridge rattles beneath the castles shadow
Peaks through the crevices of depths below
Enter the castle and fear will extol
Lavish doors of ages torture my soul

Bookshelves lined with decaying stories
Misty thoughts filled with truth and horror
Your fingers trembling over the elegant script
Mumbling the words, so foreign yet frightening

Afferte aeterna
Bring the eternal night

Remnants of blood and tears and horror
Looming shadows lurk in corridors
Holding the key to the castle's glow
Where will they end? Where will they lead me?


12. BENEATH WITHERED STONE

Ghosts of ages past trapped in the walls
Wailing sirens from distant halls
Create the darkness I harness

Castle on the hill beams
Moonlit in appalling dearness
The mystic speaks of the altar
Consumed by the scroll of augury

Earth speaks, from bellowing voices
Reveal the truth, reveal the truth of your madness

Earth speaks, from bellowing voices
Reveal the truth, reveal the truth of your madness


13. A LIGHT BETWEEN REALMS
