Ars Magna Umbrae - Lunar Ascension lyrics



Tracks



01. Through Thorns And Bones

Behold the birth of a black dawn
As the path like serpents coils
In deathlike fog - forth
Through thorns and bones

Behold the death of crippling doubt
As the beating heart stops
In the blackness unbound - forth
Through thorns and bones

Awaken, o great accuser!
As the harvest moon dawns
And the hearts of man burst ripe

Through wisdom of the dead
A flood of unpure chants
As damnation winds howl
The reaping has begun

02. Daughter Of Endless Light

Thy roots are bitter but fruits sweeter than the brethren of Eden's light
Your purest beauty truly next to none
You, the daughter of endless light and the only unextinguished star
In your essence drown me, o Exalted one
The rightest guide on Adversial Path

Star-eyed, golden-tongued
You, the prophet, the highest exalted
Guardian of the divinity's gates
Your name - the truest of ways
In the swirling scatter of burning suns I dissolve the profanity of doubt
As I tear these shackles away I shall ascend in thy name

03. Dying Sun Divination

On the astral crossroads where no light dwells
She weaves her cosmic web
As the stars align
Behold her primordial otherness

O divine initiator
Emerge from the ravenous dark
As the daylight withers and dies
Ascend!

As my blood rushes onto stone
The void beckons and her voice sweetly calls
As serpents coil at your feet
I adorn your flesh with scarlet tears

Through day and dawn, night and dusk
Light and dark, above and below
Thirst for your words never quenched
Now lead me forth through your searing gates

As I burn like a wailing star
I give myself to the dying light
The black torch of consciousness sparks

04. Lunar Ascension

[Instrumental]

05. The Wanderer

In the absence of all space and time
Hear your vessel's voiceless cry
O ever-present treader of the crooked path
Crowned with serpents wild

With this restless heart wailing wordless psalms
Through thousand steps yet with will still unbound
Conjoining dusk with dawn

In your name - I arrived
At your temple...

06. Fallen Star's Light

As formlessness sank into form the fire and clay betrothed
Through willed creation - Eosphoros unborn

Crowned with fathomless dark beneath the purity of endless stars
With fallen one's howl the infinite starlight bedim

O father of cosmic inexistance
By your hand the fire of aspiration sparked
O keeper of the blackest flame
Hear me now as these split veins sing

O lightbringer of all paths
Divine illuminator
As your fire burns in my heart I behold the fallen star's light

07. A Whisper From The Void (Interlude)

[Instrumental]

08. Chthonic Torches Of Gnosis

You who are but should not be
Harbinger of death and yet a breath of new life
Fill my veins with the embers of your deadly gaze
So I may dissolve in your eyes

You who rule over the endless nightsky
Allow me to shine as one of your stars

O how I dream, how I dream of your light
To quench the thirst unspoken with the blood of saints

To know death above and below
To know death within
Within and without

09. The Feast Of Shades

O great spreader of madness bursting from black soil
O deathless initiator crawling through scarlet skies
Behold them wail in despair
As you come bearing your starlit scythe

Flesh eater - daughter of a lightless night
Blood drinker - harbinger of death
Web spinner - countess of abysmal depths
Heart-eater - benight my path
