Lyrics

Aeterno Elementum

A Perfect World

Even now in my solitude
I can hear the pleadings of the souls
That I have sent to his dark embrace

And now, sifting through the ashes
Wrought of the work I have gladly done
I am confronted with the horrid truth
Of my eternal reward

A perfect world
A world devoid of all sin
In this I have succeeded
But only now do I realize my folly

Stain the Dove

I have been betrayed
Slowly burning incense
Flicker of the candle’s flame
Again he sits alone
Consoled by his fathers name

He feels it deep inside
As the darkness eats his eyes
Alone and now forsaken
To his god he vainly cries

Blood for blood
Stain the dove
The blade he holds
Driven by love

Plunge beyond the skin
Piercing muscle and bone
Self crucification
To save a soul forevermore

If God could slay his own kin
To save a world of fools
Surely one more death
Could save a single man

I cannot describe
The dread realization
Of iron flowing through my veins
As the cold rays of dawn
Break the mists on the horizon
Alone in Golgotha’s embrace
I can finally see with clarity

As a martyr
I die
Yet in my own mind
I will live forever

The cross burned upon his hand
Drags him down
Like the dead

We can taste your fear
And yes, we do hunger for the blood that pulses through your veins
But we come not to you now, with such malice in our eyes
Hear our pleas
Take the pact
Free us from our eternal bonds

Lure of the Flames

A howling wind from the Northern spires
Cutting through the smoke from this blazing pyre
A desperate man, alone with his grief
His heart’s strings didst death’s cruel kiss cleave

Succumb to me
To the dark
My child…my child

A swirling inferno of lost hopes and prayers
Swallowed into cold, unfeeling night air
And arms of purest light reaching towards the sky
Extinguished before their time, he sadly sighs

The moon’s glow, so pure and bright
Yet his face glows crimson in reflected spite
The passion, the fire, the vows, the lies
Saint Lucifer’s toll doth require a cherished life

Succumb to me
To the dark
My child…my child

Unchained demons and spirits of flame
Unyielding embrace of the ages old curse
Unholy torment of the damned lay claim
To this solitary soul for whom the devils sing verse

Syren’s Embrace

Clinging droplets of icy perspiration
On this frigid, cold, breathless creation
Yearning he is for something so true
Yet fate and his pact to gain life anew

Bring unto him this horrific toll
Thus here he stands on this watery shoal
A lifeless form just under the waves
A beauteous angel whom the demon thus claims

Sing
Of the times that have past
Of the destiny that has claimed ye at long last
A sprawling crown of flowing golden locks
Surround a perfect white face frozen in shock

The call of the abyss undeniably strong
Summoned her soul with it’s incorporeal song
Eerily glowing with phosphorescent charm
A hand reaching for her lost lover’s arm

Eternal torpor beneath Poseidon’s abode
Where her impassioned majesty shall never erode

Sing
Of times that have past
Sing
Of the destiny that has claimed ye at long last

Together now in a final embrace
Lovers parted by death’s looming face
A passion quickly cooled be a glacial pool
One in death’s realm, one under his rule

Can you feel this now, my love?
Plunging into seas of black extinction
From beyond your watery tomb
Show me the path to true contrition

Falling

Falling faster in to the night
The taint of blood across my mind’s eye
Draws me further away from the light

Blinded by the fear, the hate and the rage

The howling winds foretell of darkest night

Whispering tales of a morbid fate
Cast asunder into the depths below
The scream of a child and a mad mans curse

Ensure that none shall see the dawns light

Falling faster in to the night
Falling faster in to the night

I can see the wrath inside your soul
Come, let your vengeance rule you

Through the fading rays of hope’s last light
We shall weigh the fate of the world

A plague on the wind, death to the innocent

A thousand empty souls to fill the void inside

Come to me
And I will set you free
Open your eyes
And you shall see

Come to me
And I will set you free
Open your mind

And set me…
Set me…
Free

Falling faster in to the night
Clouds below are raining sin
Flames abound, they tear my skin
Burning me as I fall

I will spill the blood of man
I will flay his wretched skin
My freedom is now at hand
Your soul is mine

I will not fall
I must not fall
I cannot fall
I shall not heed your call

You will learn his master plan
You will join his unholy kin
You must let me in
It’s just a matter of time

I will not fall
I must not fall
I cannot fall
I shall not heed your call

You will join me
I reject you
You can’t resist me
Demon
Be gone

I will not fall
I must not fall
I cannot fall
I shall…
…fall

Into the night

Abyss

Lost…
Alone…
Afraid

Left here to die by a world who knows not

Blind…
Cold…
Crippled

Forgotten in this empty hell where they laid me down to rot

Endless twilight take my sight
In my living tomb, the gods laugh at my plight

As the days meld with years and the dark takes my mind
I envision the day when all of this is behind

Forsaken by hope
Beyond death and fear
A place where pain has no meaning
And only nothing is real

I hear a voice
It beckons me

Creature of darkness look upon me
Take my hand and leave behind your empty hell

Rise from the ashes Aeterno Elementum
From the bowels of the Earth
To the plague in the sky
From the ice of the abyss
To my fiery kiss

Shadows of Twilight

Sweet night unfolds at the dawn of my rebirth
No more a captive now, free to roam the earth
The demon’s words fade with the wind
As my former life draws near

Oh, Tainted one, you shall soon see
Though loved you once were, there is now only fear

How long I’ve waited to gaze upon your face
A thousand nights I could think of nothing else
To wash away the past in the warmth of your embrace
I see a change now in your eyes
It quickens my bloods pulse

A life apart can change a soul
I burn inside for you
For you are not the man I once knew
Not the one who gave his heart to be with me

My heart now lies within your hands
As my words cannot appease your fear
My love, I cannot look into your eyes
But, my longing for you
I will not be denied

Can’t you see the fear inside my soul?
Come away with me
It can never be the same
I’m still the man you loved
Why can’t you see…
That the man I loved is lost forevermore?
No, don’t abandon me!
You don’t know of what you speak
I know too well
The world will tremble at my feet
And you will rule alone
You will not leave me
This I swear

I shall feast upon the blood of the damned
Sheep to the slaughter, feel my wrath one and all
In the shadows of twilight. You shall know I am near
By the screams of your loved ones and all those you hold dear

Lord of the night

A crimson orb, melting on a plane of grey
As the mists on the horizon, spin and swirl

In an orgy of flame
Blessed dance of the fey
Feel the hunger deep inside
Breathe it in
Inhale the night

Know the fate for which you died
Slay the fear which robbed your sight

A deepening pool of shimmering crimson
Reflects the hate that burns within
Forever hidden from the accursed sun
A shattered husk of mans one true sin

Feel the hole down deep inside
Embrace the black
Embrace the fright

Know the truth for which you lied
A mortal soul for eternal unlife

Harbinger of darkness
Angel of the Damned
Eyes of a serpent
Tongue as sweet as blood

Violate the sanctity of those blessed by the lamb
And feast on the flock as they drown in your flood

Feel the power in your hands
Fear not the sun
Fear not mortal man

Rule the night as the hunter of man
The accursed child whom they once shunned

The Coming Storm

We have turned your lands to ruin
Ran your rivers with blood
And turned to blackened ash
All your world

Take your vengeance
Know what we have taken
Have conquered
And then stab at the heart of evil
That has brought us all
To this fallen time

Conquered

The thunder of a thousand hoof beats
Marks the coming of the storm

Grown men quake at the sound
Of the death bringer’s cursed horn

Descending from the hills above
Spreading chaos, sowing fear

A blade is found in every hand
Yet each man knows his end is near

Nowhere to run

The time has arrived
Where the weak shall be cleansed

And the strong shall survive
High upon his steed of night

The conquerors blade drinks the blood of the damned

Where the rivers of red begin to flow

None shall still stand

Fight now with honor
Your death is hand
And let the bards of tomorrow
Sing of our final stand

And as darkness descends over our cherished land
Unleash the warrior’s spirit inside every man

Now fight!
