Codex Barathri

Starlit hidden eyes by blood and hair Her head encircled by a dark aureole Wildflowers entwined in her flesh A raven's paramour brought to disgrace Beauty of darkness Mirrored in the lake Innocence awaits On your redeemers throne In the midst of her raptures All the ills that flesh is heir to Are withholding our dreams And wake her dormant heart Nocturnal beauty Tempered in all its supremacy Nighttime water eyes yeal For an immortal kiss Just to be for once caressed By demon wings We are the ruins of a dream The misery we have become A marbleise icon made ethereal Romance rusts in a sea of tranquillity The night is swathed by her call Our memories are enmeshed in her toil An everlasting Odyssey forsaken An ecstatic blood thirst gratified Souls are estranging to a haven A legacy embodied invisible In the endeavourment of the night Empowered in infancy so egregious

Fear the dreams, desires The terror Know what darkness we nourish The wickedness Born out of long lost legends We are collectors of the dead This slowly dawning horror beckons us once again We walk and live in shadows forever and much longer The mortal immortals...the restless ones The dark of our existence lies deep within Our bodies are stirred by an ethereal breeze And in these buried lands... We are doomed... Beyond the haunting Lies a dying light For those who walk On the path of death In a tortured grasp of tormented wraiths Dreadful dreams claim our failures Oblivion is groaning in pain At its long decline feel the stirring of our souls Our bodies wracked with imagined pain Shredding flesh off the bone Until we find the phantasm core... The scarred entity drifted into sleep To face our mercenary nightmares. Our moment, our triumph A sinister outcome was shattered into pieces. Drenched in a moment of unguarded pain We are the ones who creep and crawl...beyond the haunting The mortal immortals...the restless ones... And when the clock of time strikes the quarters The entity drowns in a sea of clouds Beyond the haunting lies a dying light For those who walk on the path of death

The flesh is dead The soul forlorn The final breath From body torn But still I hear As life, in dreams The restless soul's Eternal screams And now I cannot stand fighting But still they come, haunting and plaguing Save me...from this...hell...but take...heed...cause The stench of rot In their wake To save me Share my plague The hungry dead They wail and weep All I crave Is to sleep

Perpetual twilight, salacious Nemesis, A star born in darkness, a jewel drowned in sunset, A waterfall of echoing voices Awake our maenad sleep The wail of battle, the language of all ancestors Forged in a burning skeleton embrace Thrives on the fumes of evaporated life-essences And will soon flow from the past to the future We shall not let you see the tears we bleed The pernicious blood we drink The dark face of the night we need The cruel vanity in which we sleep For when the transcendental chanting began The runes on our swords spoke in tongues A throbbing rhythm crawled through our veins Our minds filled with fire, our thoughts bathed in blood We are the ones who were not be given life Rough signs of a holy avenger in us The deep night's gift, a celestial fury Possessed by an unearthly force A God's breath is now what we breathe. We are the beyonders You shall see the spirit we freed The sacred life we live The dark face of the night you need The cruel vanity from which you feed We are the beyonders On a warriors path We are the beyonders

I should have known they came in disguise; I had no idea of the horrors in stored for me in them... Why do things happen as they appear in dreams? And when I dream, I dream of memories.... Dreams or memories of reality.... I cannot tell what are my own... And the dreams always return, and all the terror and the evil that came with these memories were born within my dreams... What was left of my sanity told me not to indulge myself to them.... but as I was lured into them that voice was nothing more than a whisper... And now I am losing everything that is left of my humanity...

We are the end of summer We are the dying light We are the god's creation From elemental might For we who bleed under the cursed skies On our journey to the end of time The soil we plunder, the decay that is man's The endless cycle, elemental dance We are the waves of fury That sweep on writhing tides We are the newborn children Stained not with blood of Christ To ancient decorum humanity slaves Mankinds witness the end of their race Winds claim their season and seas their domain Reason's voice muted, ignited the flame Sam Hein...possess me with your power Sam Hein...enlighten me with trance Sam Hein...devour me in your fury Sam Hein.........the elemental dance

Glinting around the wings, A vitreous gleam of the eyes Entangles the fleshly garment In the midnight burlesque Thickening to visible mist Earthbound spirits are shown With elongated limbs ending in vicious claws For they lie there in the darkness The chosen tempters of mortal minds Guiding chariots to a new pandemonium Are adorned with powers of the night hag A paragon of vices, lycanthropic skulkers, Effeminate wraiths, children of celestials Sorrow sings a passage from the curse of the thorn Into the nightfall of the elder storm Within the prophecy where time stands still It's dead melancholy when a wolf howls alone Star child demons gaze upon the stars Orbital bonfires enlighten the night In a time of no shadows A swift exodus scours the earth Laying waste on our proud lands Our ghost within is lost An abomination made fierce A vigil embedded in evil

The earth lies ever silent Under star sent life that saves This soil you feed's much deeper Than the shallow of your graves These throws of bleak existence Like sting of poisonous thorn That slay all without scruple All that is earthly born You'll burn in your world I'll rot in mine Pray for salvation As prophesised Through the scarlet forever In this savage realm Where Gaia clipped the angels' wings And your false idol fell You'll burn in your world I'll rot in mine Pray for salvation Before you die Through the scarlet forever Always Astarte signs Of tormented bodies, tortured souls And your false burnt offerings The children of earth now renounce thee Freed from oppression they knew Like darkness at nightfall unhindered Instinct a right of the few

And thus the world begins with another tale The all is creating and dominating In the intangible vastness of space Under the reign of Father Time Wind - Raged storms Fire - Scorched life Redeem the martyr into existence Earth - Holy ground Water - source of all Order and chaos come by O Mater Matrum, minimus sum Mother Nature under your power O Pater Patrum, minimus sum Father time in your era In all of this man is just a sigh From dawn of men we try to survive Four forces of nature to dominate With dispassionate beliefs we crucify Feel the falling of her dying tears Hear her calling on the winter night's breeze Fear the crawling of her ghosts within Crave for her, deliverer of life
