New lords have risen Beset on conquering the opposed In the night, thunder crashes; dark clouds begin to form Lightning's bright; sunder amasses the beginning of the storm Armies amassed, weapons attached; winds to heed the call Landscapes passed, plots are hatched; fields are where they fall Goddess and maiden and queen of the night Be near us now and befriend We have suffered long enough Having seen pain in the end A bitter Goddess to follow Beautiful queen to behold We carry on with hearts so hollow Revenge for the past shall unfold From the sky comes the storm, ages, and aeons past Rising high locusts swarm, pages of scriptures last Dead ages lying under the rotted roots of the trees In darkness beneath/under, plotting death for the enemy Goddess and maiden and queen of the night Be near us now and befriend We have suffered long enough Having seen pain in the end A bitter Goddess to follow Beautiful queen to behold We carry on with hearts so hollow Revenge for the past shall unfold Gods dethroned and deceased Banished forth storming plague From our wrath winds released Thwarted lore, faith is vague Fallen lords, thou art fallen Broken and cast to the ground Destroyed thrones, empires collapsed Belittled and stripped of the crown Winds of the storm from ages unveiled A curse of death rides on the winds Seasons of never ending misery Moons of everlasting grief blanket the lands Tidal waves of horror crash upon the shores Heavens rain down the asps of sorrow Demons of the abyss spew forth the fires of war

A thousand years have passed For millions, it had reigned An ageless empire enshrined Memories are all that remain An empire to mourn Destroyed yet not forgotten Destined to thrive in infamy Implored by the begotten Refuting those with sympathy Earth-shattered remnants Souls battered and unclaimed Weak and embattled defendants False messiahs unnamed Religious establishments Texts of lies destroyed New age followers stumble Non-believers rejoice Twilight falls across the misty waters Mortals are struck with terror and fear Battles ensue and lords fall to slaughters Anguish is upon them; their pain is severe New age is born Sinful and sworn Mourn the empire Souls cast upon fire All is lost Condemned to obscurity All that was is now not An empire left in ruins Risen, rebuilt Fallen, destroyed Removed and forgotten Languish in fear Sombre tears run down faces like molten crystal Ebony caskets carried on the pride of the immortals Ritual chants emitted beyond the crypts of centuries Legacies transformed by fate through martyrdom Sorrowful journey through dark, dreary catacombs Toward the tombs of the majestic burial chambers Sacred ancient staffs held aloft for the high empress Revered crown of the emperor atop a thorned sceptre

Holy lands are eaten away From the vein of the devils' floods Decrepit hands are beaten astray From the flow of vampiric blood Screams howl in the night Bodies entwined for lustful embrace Demon eyes glow bright Scarred romance claws into the flesh Endless years are renewed this day Arising from bloodstained earth Spiritual angels are kept at bay From the sound of the devils' rebirth A millennium of suns has risen And even more have set the night Souls have been cast in prison And scores have shunned the light Suns have created terror Suns have created peace Yet none shall berate the blood-bearers Moons are the greater masterpiece Holy lands are eaten away From the vein of the devils' floods Screams howl in the night Bodies entwined for lustful embrace Demon eyes glow bright Scarred romance claws into the flesh Arrival of the undead Solstice commences Survival ensures bloodshed Night sets its defenses Casting dawn into shadow Rise of the revenants Howls of death are bestowed Curse of feeble repentance Endless years are renewed this day Arising from the bloodstained earth Spiritual angels are kept at bay From the sound of the devils' rebirth Can one shun existence; a life with no love An embrace with no touch, words without meaning A heart with no pulse and limbs with no blood Voices not heard; only hearing the screaming Screams howl in the night Bodies entwined for lustful embrace Demon eyes glow bright Scarred romance claws into the flesh God sees a crippled sun Shackled grasp that tears into fear Whispers a curse to come Hidden behind a velvet caress

Mother not maker Born and not made Though her children forsake her Allured or afraid A creed is a rod A crown is bore in the night Spirits that called God To be one with thy might Crown of glass Frail glass crown O children of banishment Their souls are overcast Where the light seeks banishment Always to last I see where you trod The dim path of the night Set the shadow called God In your skies give light But the Gods of your fashion That take and give In their pity and passion To scourge and forgive My own blood is what stanches The wounds in my bark Stars cast branches make day of the dark They worship the sun The nightfall; it comes The fires; they burn Stormwinds of ages Blow through lands and seas The war wind that rages Stars cast branches make day of the dark Before ever land was Before ever the seas Soft feel of the grass Fare limbs of the trees First life of my sources First drifted and swam Out of me are the forces That save it or damn She wears a crown of glass Crown of glass

The dark demons arise; evil souls rise up as well Hateful sons and daughters with hateful stories to tell Fateful mothers and fathers, grateful for faithful expel The darkest demon arises and casts the hateful spell Defy your Gods, and deny your religions Seeing the truth beyond your pathetic visions Our daughters of earth born from the blasphemous birth Also, our brothers born from blasphemous mothers In the shackled night heaven is shown without art Shining bright is the glory of those with dark hearts Silence of night falls on deafening winds Evil cries in moonlight cascade and descend Remember the scholars, teachings cast in stone Engraved in eternity, legacies all but alone Our children died as our mothers cried Resting in silence for all to know We all shall die as our fathers died While they are resting even greater so We endure no longer nor live again Never to laugh or ever to weep Death is now stronger, our history arcane Our time is over; forever we sleep Blackwinged from the serpent's wonders Trembling from the pound of the thunder Fateful mothers and fathers, grateful for faithful expel The darkest demon arises and casts the hateful spell Defy your Gods, and deny your religions Seeing the truth beyond your pathetic visions Spirits amass and recount their names Souls lay waste to their claims

A lost character stands before the hall Silence throughout as he listens through the wall Beneath raftered roofs no sight and no sound Between corridors the glyphs are abound Mystical eye of the mighty clocktower Your sight is bestowed to confess your power Here we partake of your solitary rounds Amidst the tangling walks and the ruined grounds Usurp the halls, and dispose of the slain Sweep the corridors and spread your pain Cast forth your echoes with all the years' cries Encrypted in the scriptures as history dies Windows of time are open for thee The clock bell does chime, the eye can now see Mighty clocktower, thy image is massive Strike of the last hour; foes become passive Eye of the clocktower The eye does empower Crumbled ruins rise from beyond Past the entrance of forgotten time Cloaked in spiritual dimensional guise Sacrifice for the mighty eye Praising the gift, appeasing their cries Conjure the masses for the final time That which has conquered, the world is black from your breath We have overtaken the tower and fed on the fullness of death Cloaked in spiritual dimensional guise Sacrifice for the mighty eye Praising the gift, appeasing their cries Conjure the masses for the final time A lost character stands before the marbled hall Silence throughout as he listens through the wall Beneath raftered roofs, no sight and no sound Between arched doorways the glyphs are abound Cast forth your echoes with all the years' cries Encrypted in the scriptures as history dies Windows of time are open for thee The clock bell does chime; the eye can clearly see A seventeenth ring marks the call to the prey Twenty-first scream fulfils the lust this day Pillars reach high; the columns are strained Staircases rotten, and windows are pained Floorboards are covered with dirt and debris Ceilings are mangled and tangled with trees Clock gears are turning and moving forward The eye is piercing and looking northward Casting the curse on the weakened souls Leaving its mark for all it controls Cast forth your echoes with all the years' cries Encrypted in the scriptures as history dies Windows of time are open for thee The clock bell does chime; the eye can now see A seventeenth ring marks the call to the prey Twenty-first scream fulfils the lust this day Mighty clocktower, thy image is massive Strike of the last hour; foes become passive Eye of the clocktower The eye does empower

Ashen thoughts of broken faith Failed religions of fallen worlds Empty prayers, hateful stares Forgotten words as their souls are hurled Bodies are amassed on the graven funeral pyre Embers burn, and the fires get higher To die for their queen is what they desire Return as a God for all to admire Flesh vanishes and seraphs appear Their legacies loom for all to revere New testaments scribed for the clans to adhere Disciples shall arise; their praise is sincere We shall worship you Oracle from the ashes Arise our glorious queen Destroy the throne; it crashes Achieve the realm foreseen Arrival of the seven prophets Forging a path for the newfound way Channelling the eleventh sovereign Casting the lash to curse the day One gleaming ellipsoid adorned In nefariousness the drape is cast In lure of impuissant sheath of weakness All overtaken will be surpassed Conquer this world Transform your shadows Make the light go away Blanket the plateaus Destroy the light this day Accept us with your favour We honour to your strength You are our chosen saviour We bow to you, our mighty queen

Destroy all eternity Relics of impurity Sitting high above the cold mountain crest Lost ravens perched with hunger and thirst Black snow is dripping from the cliffs above Wolves are howling beneath the moon immersed Trees' limbs, they crackle and tumble down fast to the Ground Boulders are breaking with crumbled debris all around Fallen temples cover the lands Iron and steel return to frozen earth Fires burn no brighter than man Spirits exact the curse of impure birth Lakes, streams, and rivers have all been consumed by the sky Forests are wastelands, and creatures begin to all die Relics, undivine and impure Angelic, entwined and obscure Gods and man, kings and slaves Can they truly coincide together Laws and lands, queens in graves Shall they decide what is forever Dark at night, eyes are like moons From the heavens night is without art Silence full on breath of the winds Death flows from their hearts Spirits sleep in the shadows of the Gods Slumber is deep in forests of the damned Fathers die, and mothers die faster Daughters made whores, and sons become Bastards Past the ruins and depths of lost seas Brand the horizon with utterance of thee Cast down the thunders and lightning fires Invoke the skies with burning desire Dying world a burden not as before Winters plague from mountain to shore Pail light fails across elusive skies Dreadful winds carry dreadful sighs Show the stars and deluge the day Lands afar from ports far away Winds, waves, harsh perils provide Oceanborn graves and souls collide Relics of impurity World in obscurity Death in infamy Fire for eternity

They pretend their false love And feel only their emptiness Black is their poisoned blood Brought forth by rage that burns inside Purity destroyed and innocence lost Cold and empty, their love is distinguished Trust is forgotten; vows are lost Frail and impure all thoughts are extinguished Frozen in the fabric of time, she is immortal A woman who cried her last time, she is empty like the dead Death she cried Lost souls adorned by the jewels of the charmed moon Goddess Humility burns from the thousandth lost kiss Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned Betrayed by lies and the vows that were sworn Scream she does as the serpent hisses Dreams of love with their fervored kisses Hear the howls of the creatures yearning Shadows' black eyes are seeking and burning Please forgive me, my darkest darling For knowing your mind and your thoughts There are reasons for your never ending pain To feel the embrace and love that I sought Death she cried Her heart died Death she cried They pretend their false love And feel only their emptiness Black is their poisoned blood Brought forth by rage that burns inside Purity destroyed and innocence lost Cold and empty, their love is distinguished Trust is forgotten; vows are lost Frail and impure, all thoughts are extinguished

Whispering thoughts of ages untold Thoughts of what unveils as aeons unfold What is known from lost tales of the past Cold whispering winds of opiates grasp Sharp grasp in kingdom of shadows Shining afar the glorious plateaus A life in shackles and endless rain Ruled by deceit and horrendous pain Scream and cry as dark thoughts caress your mind The ultimate punishment for a wicked mankind All sounds of all changes and shadows and light On the world's mountain ranges and death's black heights All forms and all traces with work of three hands In unsearchable places of time-stricken lands Darkness stalks the corridors of the mind Hatred and despair are all that you find Devils and demons and horrors galore Embrace the love of the hate you abhor Sins of lust possess all mind's eye And my soul and my every part With the Goddess so devilishly bright Mirror of grace and majesty divine Lady of the lamp whose dark pale light Cold glare throughout the world doth shine So to think that there are no accolades So gracious as those of mine No shape so true, no truth of such account And for myself and my own worth So they do define As I and others and all worth do surmount
