Ancestral Mysteries

The stars are aligned in the perfect shape, The twelve arms, each of them pointing to one Of the ethereal star temples, The Belt of Orion cries with the silver stream of light. Alnitak - A liturgy of blasphemy and malice Alnilam - The pearly necklace of innocent souls Mintaka - That, what keeps the eternal hunger at bay Secrets lost in time - And the hunter will lead us there ! Forward through the Atlantean gate ! Forward, follow the winged mother with a stare of hundred eyes ! The vast ocean I cross with my mind's eye What is your name, child ? It speaks to you with all northern tongues, guardian, for the elders of Thule have sent me ! He visage blinds me, for she radiates from the core of her heart, The subhuman races die on this door, I look at her face with my bright eyes, She touches my lips and in that moment I am certain Of the signs in the dreams, and the right side of history. That realm that holds the secrets Of the ascension to godhood Is the birthright of my race It has been lost under the eclipse of the black sun And the time has come for it to rise again. With a key forged in the crucible of souls A monumental gate made by the titans has been unlocked The lantern, with four outstretched hooked Arms is burning bright Now the chains one by one are dissolving Enslaved no more with a clear purpose All that has been hidden by the enemy is being revealed again I follow the steps down only to see the vaults Filled with riches The marble palaces and the high gardens. The children of the stars were buried once there And the art of exquisite perfection among them Ten kings ruling in place, each holding a sceptre of stars Man and beast paying homage and tribute to the gods The age of rebirth is here again, the last child Of the ancients arrived. The white guardian approaches her arms Outstretched towards me Twelve stars are shining in her hair Her left hand adorned with the cold flame of the frost In her right palm a chalice of silver and gold. - Be welcomed, scion, to the ten thrones of the north !

Drifting in the mist of interplanetary sea Raised from the deep slumber by the glimpse of ethereal light As the dawn embraces my face Beyond a vast abyss, at the shores of the astral sea The dimming fire has given the last shred of its heat The calm pulse of the azure waves In rhythm with the underground veins Prepares us for another trek into the unknown Where no man has yet ventured To the last whisper of starlight glory.

The grey dim light of the early dawn dances Around the chamber The liquid surfaces on the floor reflecting the sun In mirror I gaze, awaiting the familiar visage The unknown malice, and anger looks back at me Last night I have dreamt of the tower again I have stood on its top, and watch the clouds Rolling up the hills The tidal wave of darkness swallowing the city below The air smelt of decay and tears I heard her voice again, singing to me in my dream The queen of the night, my sweetest lady of the eclipse Her heralds are ever present at the base of the tower Can you hear the teeth gnashing ? The gurgling Sound of gluttony ? Each night I wake later and later The sheets covered in sweat And her song rings in my hears into the high noon How I long to feel her cold embrace Again, during those hours But only the empty glares of people are my companions. This day the omens were clear, I could not Sleep the night before My fever is rising and it is still dark outside, is it noon yet ? Through the window I see faces of people, empty inside The seal of the lady apparent on their foreheads As a pool of darkness. I have seen a man tearing out holes from his own flesh The seal alight with a black glare There is a woman eating her child, her eyes open wide Her seal burning with a black light A child is choking her sister, bloodied Fingers ripping her throat Lady's mark on her forehead ablaze All will fall, there will be difference between A man and a beast. I cannot sleep now, I hear her voice in every cry of pain The cacophony of screams outside is deafening I look into the mirror again, am I still myself ? The seal is shining on my head, the cold liquid Seeps into my mouth. Hours pass, what is true and what is false ? Oblivion is all we have. The sun has risen again, black ! At this moment the world died. Empty, soulless husks dance all around me Her song is in the air, a rapture of decay everywhere I clearly see her face, now, through bleeding eyes The beauty immortal, the face of god, Our lady of oblivion has come to me !

Upon reaching the cold crypts of torment A visage of countless dead appeared Waiting they are, for a leading voice That will unlock their imprisoned hearts. The vast halls of gothic pillars Reach out for the ice grey sky Can you hear it ? Is it the mournful cry of the entombed Or are those the whispers of the wind ?

The darkness approaches On the wings of steel we fly towards it, with a purpose Our souls are one with the heart of our craft As it is cradling us. We hear its whispers in our dreams. Each and every one of us was born for that purpose alone To go blindly on an infinite quest of knowledge Guided by the ancestral visions of greatness and conquest In the songs of the ancients we grow. The weak shall be purged by their inner demons The fragile minds crushed to bloody dust For the realms of nightmares prey on those Whose consciousness and morals are impure. The gates of the dream realms are opened We rush toward a dim, flickering light In the far distance a portal can be seen The delicate shape made of marble bone. The craft of the forefathers that has Sheltered us for so long Is rushing towards the final destination of our quest As we pierce the veil of the doorway our guide awakens His third eye shines now, guiding the ark to the other side. Upon arrival we see the place where hopes of millions Are lost In the impossibly vast field of decay and entropy Millions of empty husks of the leviathan that came Here before us They float, the hearts, once strong, now so still, The spirits cold. The center of the system is close now as we cross The depths of space Leaving behind the cemetery of those that failed In their quest At last the vision appears of what has been waiting For us all along The black star shines in the center so clearly Drawing us in. The dark sun, the primal force of entropy and unlife The central focus and the axis of the universe Is within our reach now The black light shines upon our craft, as we start the ritual The blood flows freely, the energy is given and swallowed. The icons of destruction, the symbols of dissolution Are raised up high The eyes weep crimson, the mouths chant In the forbidden tongue Hail to thee, the harbringer of the end ! Oh, black sun, rise in your dreaded glory !

Starlight glow radiates the piercing cold On the way to the larger cluster of galaxies Pushed into an ancient fallout Between home and the unknown Tears of silver cover the eyes Sunk by the sight of infinity Reflections on a blind heart, thirsty for the night Out of the reach of human reason. The white and scarlet feast of the dead gods.
