1. OF MYSTERIES ANCIENT

(Instrumental)


2. POSSESSED BY THE NIGHT

Stare, into night's black eyes,
Doom, under her curse...
Kiss my rotten flesh,
Flesh denial, eternally decimated...

Taste from the chalice,
Drink of the black blood!
Waste not, intoxicated by night.
Beneath crystal ground,
Frozen and decayed...
Down... down... deep beneath...
Eternity awaits deny... dead... dead...
Baptized in demise, reborn in death,
As all life exhales its last breath!

Flesh decay, purified ground,
The sound of vermin echo,
As doom and curse carried,
Upon the cold night's air.
Moon - sinister - aura - death!

Beloved night, so eerie and evil...
Curse, removal of flesh, I hear her calls...
Arms raised nightwards...
Beloved, I am with her...
Sacrifice...


3. MAJESTIC EVIL

When the earth opens,
From deep beneath the cracked ageless soil,
The enemy of god, storming black and evil.
A spell sent forth - necromancy and hatred intwine.
The curse sent deep to the caverns of the earth,
To the dwellers of the tombs below...

Voiceless spores travel to the deep chambers of dust
To awaken the tormented souls,
Diabolic, sent skywards.
Bring the heavens down! Sent forth to hunt,
The flames licking at the gates above.
With lance and spear, carried by sulfur winds.

As horizons of blood paint the sky,
Behind cloaked legions tormented!
So dearly you followed the light and splendor,
Unmatched majestic evil!
This fury sent forth below.
Honor and glory be unto the Lord,
S a t a n !

The heavens dethroned,
Thus spake legions of undead malice!
In your glorious defeat you weep,
As un-matched legions storm the heavens.
Atonement!


4. PHANTASMS OF SILENCE AND DYING

The creeping darkness stirs to awake from a moonlit slumber
Infinite darkness silent, cold and torturous weight.
Trialed in flame and night to forwarn torment inherit...
Calling... murmur...
The voices cracking the paraphet of silence
Spiritual torment through death...
As the choirs of evil calling my name...

Calling...
I listen, I hear, I answer...
As the nameless hosts speak: "lend me your ears!"
I listen to them sing, I feel my soul descend...

Spectre i’ve become and not one of this earth
A graven phantasm buried beneath the tones of un-dead spell
Into the shadows i wander...
Silent and never to return...
A trail of burnt stars and dust,
Upon the blackend throne of night...


5. IN REVERENCE OF DECAY

I wander...
Through the grey ruins pasts ancient
Clouds choking and tragic mists befell

I wander...
In reverence of decay an old oath remains,
Upon the altars and deities of time

I wander...
Sworn, dark is my oath,
Steady and unbroken
As written by the edge of the sword
And purified in blackest blood

I wander...
Within the walls of this pantheon
As the flames lick my soul,
Blessed in sorrow and decay

I wander...
Malevolent tides kiss these walls
Imprisoned in flesh and the
realms of shadows and dust...

Entranced by the will,
The will of the darkest father!
I am one with void!


6. UPON THE THRONE OF SHADOWS AND DOOM

Travels beyond storm and light,
The great maw opens...
As the great fires of the sky ignite,
Cloaking ash and demise below
The sun scorned and eclipsed,
Blackness extends its talons earthwards
For a new domain opens and i inherit the key.

Abyssic forged hatred... arise! I enter...
I close the gates to where dreams and creations dwell
Invert adverse - as the stars burn below
And the soil crumbles above
I am the past, I am the now, I am...
I am destruction, I am un-dead... I am...
Upon the throne of shadows and doom!


7. SACRIFICE TO THE WORLD BEYOND

To roam the ivory maze and piles of decay in wait
Devoured souls writhe in pain on the pyres of bone and Flesh.
Amongst the cloaked figures chanting and the ashen flames Glare
Sending bones to the edges of the earth...

Fierce and malevolent spectres of a vile world beyond
Torment the strands of life and eclipse the
Souls of this withered earth,
Within this ivory circle the forbidden stand
Chanting rites of end in all forms, come... come forth...

Under the cenotaph of life to bare the sign of the horns
I offer my soul once more, come... take me...
Onwards to your primal domain in all its evil splendor
The ultimate sacrifice, master! oh lord! I am by your Side!


8. THE SOULS OF THE ARCANE DANCE

I’ve traversed the horizons below and
Entered the darkest depths
Morbid, deep and dank... arcane!
Oh master, I am waiting!
Dreaming before the fragments of time...
Bring damnation forth to erase the flesh of man!

Inhale the agony of past lives withered
Standing in your darkness,
Behind the horror's of the lord!
As the moon sinks below and oblivion hunts their eyes
Watching back at them we feel the fire in our hearts Burn...

As the chalice is again re-filled and the choirs of souls Reborn
We all look inwards to the shadows of the darkened realm,
Man construct the pillars of rotten flesh and bone
The mystical shadows dance behind the vaults and temples Of flesh...
