dark spires cast long shadows
Where these terror-mists have set
I am the learned diabolist
I am the sorcerer of Vyrence
And with my bone-carven demon pipe
I enchant the song of wolves...

Baleful... Haunting... Eldritch... Piping
Hearken ~ the hymn of might
For it's lethargic dream-spell bemuses
I gaze up at the sanguine eye
While dark shapes bay in the courtyard below

I conduct the dark shapes
Lend an ear to the woods wind
The howls...

This eve we must abscond
To the filthy abbey of Perigon

Storm the abbey... Assail the clergy
About the fat monks throats
Lupine jaws of my assassins clamp
Tear their pious neck to shreds
And rip their holy robes to shreds

Delight to the serenade of the wolf
The horror-clawed ghosts of night
Like ebon-furred demons
Form the strange labyrinth of woods

Prepare the relics
Such lavish kindling they provide
The flames like a furnace
Leap from blazing Perigon
My cachination resounds
Above the boister of fire
Return to my Ivied tower of wont
Return the wolves to the night

I scent the passing smoke
Grey ghosts of the abbey raped
Drifting across the harvest moon
Beware the demon notes of the hunting wolf...

02. Falling In The White Tempest
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[music & lyrics Thegn Damieus]

The woods are silent
Strange clouds loom on horizons crowned white
Lurk doom-fogs of frost
Soon the lands will freeze and die

And now the skies spit forth snow
Gales of ice like bellows blow
The day-star no longer illumines
The world freezes under the eye of the moon

Summon the ogre-winds
Furious clouds of ice shards
Blizzards of sententrion
Dread of the sting of rime

Decline to vast deserts of snow
Where wicked winter talons grope
Extinguish the light of Jesus
All directions face north

The folly of Christ is raped with ice
Gelid squall, brumal blight
The boreal hordes
Purge the mirth, oust amour...

Storms...

Entomb the green in glass
Eternal night at last
Rear the ebon palace
Dominion of nefast

Our sempiternal reign

03. Of Rape And Vampirism
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[music by Lord Kaiaphas, lyrics by Thegn Damieus]

Abandon my dreary fortress
The dusky blood-moon arouses
And invites my vampiric soul
To crave pleasures divine
... So divine

I fly amongst the bats of night
Soaring into the village heart
Seeking unsuspecting female peasants
For my nocturnal blood-bath

Allure some worthless slut
Entangled in the web of desire
Bewitched by the black spell of silence
To worship my pernicious cock!

My hunger sprouts...

Beyond the hallowed churchyard
Lurks my savoury evening guest

As my eyes catch a glimpse of her
ivory neck and lecherous thighs
My virulent fever swells
to murderous heights

I want your fucking cunt-
I need your life-giving blood...

"Pleased to meet your acquaintance my dear..."
Only I can hear her desperate outcries of utmost horror
As I commence to tear asunder mortal garments
My face unveils a sardonic grin
Her quivering body pressed tightly against mine
Thrusting my spike inside her
Gashing her ensanguined fruit
My scarlet flesh fulfilled- this a most unpleasant tryst
Sinking mordant fangs in tainted breasts
Withdrawing the elixir which makes me whole

04. The Witch-Tower Of Vshanaad
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[music & lyrics Thegn Damieus]

Above swelling seas of blackness
Dark crags tower in funeral silence
Grim buzzards soar and circle
As charnel beacons to dreaded lands
Rise from stone a forlorn tower
Hidden by towers of timbers exalted
Shimmering in the wan of light of the moon
Like an eidolon drifting betwixt lonely mausolea

The dwelling of the wretched crone-enthroned over deep waters
Perched atop horned scarps-the vicinage of Vshanaad
A promontory haunted-a twisted tower dire
A ancient witch and blind- Vaentella

The sightless hag greets her guest
As a strange silhouette descends from the night
'Tis the monstrous crow feared as Kroln
Burdened with a dormant shape

And so the twaine doth remove
to the nether-vaults below
With the sleeper bound in net
an orphan seized by Kroln!

Cobwebs arass the chamber- so cluttered with ornaments
Crucibles of tomb-dust froth- cruses and vials bubble
Cauldrons boil a fetid brew- wherein limbs of infants stew
Impedimenta of black arts- devotion to the Nether-Guild

The dreaming child awakes, fettered to a bed of stone
"Her orbs will fit exquisitely", Vaentella opines to the crow
The eyelids of the girl sewn back with the web of worm
How lovely are her eyes... such a prize to the blind

Vaentella procures anon a tool, an ensorcelled hook of horn
Remove the frightened stare from her face, rape the sense of sight
The heart of the child abducted, so loathsomely pecked out by Kroln
Drain the steaming red, flood the witch's hollow sockets

"I shall be whole once again..."
The black bird seemed to laugh
As the thunder clapped outside
For the gleaming spheres had been set
And the blind witch could then see
Through the glare of another
Aggrandized by necromancy
Her visitas took a new shade
"I can spy beyond the sight!"

Vaentella stands enthralled
Atop forsaken Vshanaad
Glaring through cascading rain
Able to see the oldest secrets

For now the trees are won't to whisper
And the seas tell forgotten tales
The skies quoth the unremembered
And strange constellations intimate the unknown
Now an infinity of knowledge
Forever shall unfold

Peer through the yawning gulfs of antiquity
And the chasms of archaic wisdom
Now an infinity of knowledge
Forever shall unfold...
