Epoch of Unlight
Album • 2001
This track is instrumental.
Tireless, a will unbending I seek the prize unending Another way, another path to make them mine. The truth, contained within A life unbound by percepts end And for the glory in their kind Another way, another path to make them mine Another way, one step closer to beyond! "Explorers in the further Regions of existence…" As Legends lend, minds beyond compare. Unlocking Infinities door With finite tools in mortal hands I will achieve, I will possess a means to all Simultaneous coexistence Cross the threshold, to a higher plane In the past the numbers flashed And crashed… upon the mental slate Chaotic dissolution of A randomized covariant state Esoteric relics As a means to dissuade A higher drive to comprehend The symbols now equate Arcane… the power freed within The door unlocked – the riddle ends With hands unseen the forces rip and tear At the seams of time Primal light spilling forth But for a second until my eyes adjust Extending through a portal in space I will cross the threshold of might Into the splendorous unlight Simultaneous coexistence Cross the threshold, to a higher plane

Truth be known I have arrived! Freezing, I stand transfixed in wonders gaze Wrapped in thoughts, I warm myself to task The mightiest threshold crossed – the long sought key to time is mine I can transverse the multiverse Adrift in a darkened sea, but for something unknown pulling me Castaway – awash in primal night Struggle to stay abreast of the ubiquitous rising crests And tidal waves of thoughts brought on by newfound strengths Spellbound, I see portals to infinities A multitude of light in universes uncounted Experiences, outside the realm of man To see or better yet to have a hand in all design Dimly, I see a shore lined to infinity with doors that span to Horizon's end and Beyond! Feeling, of excitement swells as the key is again put to test This time from within the hyperspace Eyes upon my back I try again the arcane way Dismay! The numbers crash to the ground. Sounds of sinister laughter permeate psychic ether Undaunted! Again the lock is tried. "Fool, a care to reach beyond your grasp… This path is mine!" In a space between spaces, in a time between all times Ageless. The thing waits for one such as I. Strong in mind, stronger still in form to cross the multi-planes As a vessel to his will – Now to serve a darker design "Together, as we ascend through time This path is mine!"

Crimson and steel My will revealed Oh, restless night, be thy stilled With precious life Heed my call And bring the end to light Invading rays fall where they lie Crimson and steel The scene reveals Behold the gauntlet honed in flesh A party raised Now razed again Fools to rest in hostile land You were betrayed from one within Faster… she ran to night Faithless… deception a whore's delight Deceived by a weaker mind. Brigande, two thousand strong Slowly brought to naught The numbers matched to legions Equated their loss Deserting what will be All lands under one A foolhardy rebellion Quashed before its run The last encampment The last vestige of hope The final strand Of the fallen ones Her presence in your midst Her presence in your mind To count her in your ranks Was to doom you all in time The lustful sex that always Seeks to find her bettered path Owes no loyalty to others Or honor does she possess Engaged in acts of malice Driven to the strongest one Who but to me could she run And so try to serve her self The slumbering camp by her words revealed And in the end I repay the bitch in kind Crimson and steel My will revealed Oh, restless night, be thy stilled With precious life Heed my call And bring the end to light Invading rays fall where they lie

Desire! Below a ridge in a sunless place A monolithic testimony to an ancient fate What she has built will rise again in might I take this battle-scarred manse as mine by right The splendor of an age unbound by sky In arrogance to light or those that would pass by From hence go forth as time does allow A "presence" is felt above and below Blood drenched Gauntlets Clashing In the absence of light Storms ride The sky and earth in turn They which would deny In the absence of light Engage The ancient art exposed To devour all In the absence of light (… And a foul stench flows from the east of those that lurk in the shadows…) Screams rise (Of) The lambs of those unseen Thralls put to rest In the absence of light Blood drenched A gauntlet honed in flesh The slaughter slakes the earth In the absence of light I will dispatch in a blackened hate All who dare approach this manse of mine! Tenacious lust at conflict in the night Another war beast struck down in flight The moonlit might of a vanquished night The battle (of the Dark Manse) is mine Below a ridge in a sunless place A monolithic testimony to an ancient fate

Nightmare aware And so you grasp the battle's end As one undone Destined as failure's friend How long is this Pathetic state you've been? How long 'til dawn reveals where you stand. An ancient force unmatched in might Thousands strong, thousands gone The scarlet hue of a crimsoned dawn As rending blades are put to rest A final sweep begins The end of all "Let not a single man stand tall" Defeat remains A victor's choice to purge them all Summoned by those who could – I stir And in the midst of melee's end you race away A northern path to an eastern wood you stray "Fear me, revere me, I am that which time would hide…" "Yet see all, and feel the call, I am summoned to bring the fall!" In songs of old, the legend of the north forest told And in our panicked mind, you forgot the telling verse Since possessed by deeper thoughts, the path has long veered off And brought you to a darker place Further still you feel the chill while leaves from frozen branches spill The piercing might of feral eyes "My essence is all, it fills your lungs with each breath…" "Turn and look into the faceless abyss as you are consumed!" An end to all I bring the end to all!

Stormlords of Ancient… Attack! Release the first volley to air The time to wait has long since passed Fire… raining down below Destruction of the insolent, all who dare oppose Strike down the sleeping where they lay The dawning rays of a new sun wish to obscure a conflict won On this she too has failed At will, the bowmen find their mark Setting the pre-dawn sky ablaze Fly… children of light With no champion of cause, the city falls And falls within the grasp of one that might Control the passage to the west, a port of call and message yet To those the night claims all Ululant cries fill the night One final act, the war beasts freed to make their way Unchained and appetite unending, they set to task. Care to not leave a sole, but devour them all None shall remain, consume them all – consume them all! "Careful child… Still thy fears" Through the smoking embers of a fallen town under twilight's sky The provisioning proceeds leaving none to thrall leaving none at all Now come the cries of an innocent pinned from beneath the ruin Salacious lust in extending claws, you will be set free "Careless child As I return you to…" Shadows and Dust! Ululant cries fill the night Till all are none

(One thousand dawns in a foreign land For the might of "one" I stand Dispatch the few and then to east) I ride… Looks sharp! A thousand points aimed into sky Will fall, as first wave to cleanse the night Stand Fast, and hold the ranks until my call For the broken truce. Deep burrows in a frozen ground Whereby the crafted war-machines are found Nearer still, the stench of molten fuel For the second wave of fire The few to whom make claim The burden of mortal man you now face Yield to he that wants all That may ever be And as night gives way to dawn The scene paint itself on Blank minds, on a frozen plain With odds beyond compare I have watched night to day As fields form, green to red transform Before these battle-weary eyes In lands so far from home ("Through the thin veil of mist, my gauntlet is held high") Now! With force unmatched Let free the strength of night Dispatching all with hate Those that could deny my will! ("Follow close behind, over icy dale we bound") Carried aback swift beasts Into the fray we ride And so the melee's circle Is now complete Thus, as final wave And sealing the "coward's path" I warm the frozen steel In a feral-eyed blood wrath! Flakes of white fall south As pools of red issue forth Salacious fear of the fallen Closing on the one Taste my flesh-honed blade As it samples from your life The scene within the crimsoned cleft Has now been drawn to close A callow tool in weaker foe Broken by a killing glance – a victory claimed by I… have lead the charge I… stand victor on this foreign arctic soil Satisfy the ancient pact Return… a warrior's Return… the champion's choice of path unmarred of service or steel I will return to… I have ended all that stood before The will of the insatiable one But now I ride for thee To return to the unspoiled splendor of Eidolon

Cosmic sea surrounds me – the solar winds fill my sails The numbing calm of eternity upset Off the map of mortal man, off the scale of mundane existence A passage through a further time is sought Back to the origin through the seething stew of life where life itself was known I'm not alone Alone caught up in the wonder of universal discovery The thrill of knowledge yet to learn "Arrogant creature of flesh what makes you think you were the first Erudition has its price" Chattering from shadows in the night distant flapping coming near I am pursued How can you fight what you can't see? Wraith-like creatures of the void – I must escape into time Amid the darkest angles of time they dwell… waiting as wolves unchained to feast (Sentient scavengers of life in the fourth plane of existence) How can you fight what you can't see? Driven to the black-spiraled citadels of a city wandering through time Amid the darkest angles of time they dwell… waiting as wolves unchained to feast.

Scarlett threads intertwine – extending towards the end of time And cast a mighty crimson hue upon the silver peaks Towers carved in ice, extending further into night (With) spires honed in freezing drops, piercing midnight skies Dreams without end… A place in all for me and mine A place to build by my design A place from which to rule them all Azure streaks seem to fade and with them goes the failing day The day the light promised to be, which now eternally lies Ripped to shreds the sky is bleeding – from the heavens slowly seeping Down to oceans vast where comes prodigious waves Dreams without end… A place in all for me and mine A place to build by my design A place from which to rule them all Emeralds fade, amethyst torn asunder, while brighter shapes are put under The cutting edge of a gauntlet raised Flaxen fields turned to ash An icy throne on which to lead And turning skies to molten red The creation of a mind diseased My touch excites them all Frenzy-whipped the hounds unleashed finding pleasure in a lighter feast Scarcely notice waves of less than pure intent The eyeless haunts fly ever higher Deep in another dimension A chasm where no life may dwell Unknown, alone, undone within A place where Unlight hails Ripped to shreds the sky is bleeding – from the heavens slowly seeping Down to oceans vast where comes prodigious waves Dreams without end… A place in all for me and mine A place to build by my design A place from which to rule them all.
Beneath the deepest Seas Beyond the darkest forest trees Past the furthest corner of space Lies a “darker” place Thoughts ring as screams Screamed into night Resounding through The sentient abyss Issued forth… It spreads Willed to Being… It grows To Devour All. Taunting me… It shows Through doors of time… a life Or lives that may cease to be. This path I chose… or was Chosen for… I cannot say And still ride this crest. Passing through… a (multi-) cosmic Malevolence… unmatched In forced symbiosis I greet the dawn of each new day as a stranger time! A Multiverse… at War And so the seeds… are sown In yet another land Another movement… in darkness A subtle alteration… in time The texture of a new dimension The furtive plans… carried forth Another scene is yet revealed From where I cannot say My part in this… unknown Only known… that again I will but serve to bring the end Falling through the new formed door into my role of night’s design I was… caught in the I am… caught in the Forever… caught in the Caught in the Fucking Unlight!
