Turning, burning wheels of eyes
Flaming in the sky Turning, burning, yearning in the light Ophanim, revolve and shine And crash beyond the veil Blood has spilled from this unholy grail Fetid Eucharist I can see inside my mind I was so blind Fetid Eucharist From inside I pierce the veil There’s only Hell Riding rising chariots Mighty thrones aflame Proclamation of unholy names We’re chained and bound Tied to the ground Prisoners in our own citadel I’ll die with my eyes open wide Just to get a good look at hell Glimmers in the underworld Thorns upon the Stygian Rose Just look, now look behind The veil and you will find Once you’ve seen You can’t look back ‘Cus all the demons They will remind you That they will find you They’re right behind you Through the black 02. Thunder (Perfect Mind)
She came to me in a dream
Cloaked in green flame Her voice a silent scream She called my name I have unearthed hidden ruins An egress to the world beyond And to traverse may be foolish But through this ingress I'll be respawned In this vision of fires The cosmic maw Of my weakest desires That lead to my fall Blessed be the green lion The green lion that eats the sun To see through Orion Where two hearts will beat as one As above so below There's so much more to know Beyond this flesh I prayed and I cried, I choked down my pride Despondent flesh And as the devils whip their slaves upon my spears I return in kind Seven devils have something new to fear Thunder, Perfect Mind She is peace, She is war She is nothing, She is more She is shameless, She is ashamed She is everything that cannot be named 03. Down In The Hollow
I'll not apologize I'll not be held in wrong
I am defleshed in liberation Just look into these eyes and listen to my song Through darkened fog an incantation O down in the hollow She is waiting for me And I will now follow The fading light O there is no shelter When the rain falls on my head I should have held her Instead of losing sight Cimmerian shadows Gossamer writhes below Is this all there really is? Just what any fool can see Is this all there really is? When will the end be? And how can I break free? Dark Skies Cold Earth All our lives Just food for the worms Leaves fall From the witch elm Twilight In the Dream Realm O down in the hollow I know she's lying there in wait And I simply suffer The hand of fate Cimmerian shadows Gossamer writhes below Under the sun of Thebes Fallen angels and furies are calling out They know my name She calls my name 04. Heavy Is The Crown Of Bone
Once through the mirror
The candles hushed their light A winged stag appears with tail aflame Three binding corners This ghastly shadowed sight An angel bound and begging “take these chains” “Just take these chains, “O take these chains” This is no king I see before me So I open the vein It speaks in whispers of truth and of divine It speaks of carnal wisdom with no shame Bring me the chains I can handle the pain In the dark I could swear I saw a sly smile I can hear the angel say, “I am not the heir apparent Just a pretender to the throne Wretched disciples on my counsel We’ve lived in hell so long it’s home Heavy is the crown of bone” 05. Scrying Orb
Cloaked in the shadows on a moonless night
Silent figures beckon through the brume The earth here is sated with the bones of the fallen Underfoot is hallowed ground And something is pulling me closer And I'm starting to reach out my hand My heart beats against the blade I enter the darkened room I know I should be more afraid But I will come back for you Spectres are watching, I can feel the unholy gaze Thirteen black candles in the dark Echoing angels in the four watchtowers Can you hear the beating of my heart? The portal is starting to open The key is the nineteenth call The shadows begin to sway A strange light is filling the room I know I should be more afraid But I have come back I have heard the cries calling from the other side through the scrying orb Fire cleaves the sky and I'm feeling so alive with the scrying orb There is thunder in our hearts, there are answers in the eye of the scrying orb We are demons in the dark, we are angels in the light of the scrying orb 06. The Stygian Rose
I'm rattling the chains at the gates of heaven
I'm crying out but she can't hear my call, no For these long days I've followed some disembodied song In the black candle flame I swear there's echoes A pandemonium, a world of shadows Like a sizzling fire, you can feel it, just right now The Stygian Rose in Saturn's Storm The black bloom will be reborn I've been shattered in so many ways My vow is the last thing I would betray Down in the hollow a vow just decays So the shackles and blindfolds fall away This story untold Of such bitter longing and loss When the cube unfolds I will take up that cross I have been shattered in so many ways My vow is the last thing I would betray Yet down in the hollow a vow has no sway So these shackles and blindfolds, they fall away Through the light (I can find the black) In the night (There's no turning back) I now see (What hides behind the fold) Set me free (The Stygian Rose) |
