A monument I shall raise
To myself
A monument I shall raise
To myself
In flame
My gift
Conflagration
The golden temple
The heart of the universe
The pillar of the heavens
There I carry the fire
My gift
Conflagration
The world
I shall set aflame
In sacrifice
Among the graves of the archetypes
In the sempiternal darkness
I have found the sword of the end of times
Among the graves of the archetypes
I shall cut the chains
I shall stop the wheel of eternal return
The world
I shall set aflame
In sacrifice

Plutonic Ether
08:38
|

This world has gone on far too long
I cast the spell
The skies burn black in the east
Clouds burst and fall
As the gates open
In fire
Open lies the blood-written book
Of the end of times
The storm-written scripture
Of ancient wisdom
The key older than time
The key older than hills
The chains are torn
The cilice of flesh is cast away
As the corpse of the earth is raped
And ripped asunder
See the mists rise
See the light fall
See the flesh wither
Under the waves of plutonic ether
As the mists rise
And shadows crawl
The flesh shall wither
Under the waves of plutonic ether

Through the black of the world
They speak
Through the black of the tree bark
And the gray of the soil
Dark blood runs
To the roots of the world
Above the lodged grass
Hoary with frost
They are calling
Through the black flutter
Of raven wings
They sing
Through the night of the world
They speak
Through the night at the edge of times
And the edge of death
Dark blood runs
For the god of the hanged
Above the lodged grass
Hoary with frost
They are calling
Through the black flutter
Of raven wings
They sing
They speak
Through the smoke
Of the funeral pyre
They speak
With the forked tongues
Of eternal fire

I have stood at the mountain pass
The black of lakes below me
Like eyes of the night
And a song of celestial thought
Above me
Among the summits in flames
Darkly treads the twilight
Before me
A song in runes of granite
A dream of the immortals
Cast in stone
Among the summits in flames
Darkly treads the twilight
I look at the summits
The runes of eternal mysteries
I look at the summits
A song in runes of granite
A tremendous and terrible thought

From the tenebrous bowels
Of the dead of winter
Comes a dark wave of wailing
And the thrust of a howl
From the tenebrous depths
Of the dead of winter
Comes the dark wave of wailing
Of life devoured
Under the breath of winter
The world grinds to a halt
Pierced by the gaze of winter
The turn of the wheel is stopped
The current of ages frozen
Into a blinding-white shimmer
The current of ages frozen
Into a blinding-white light
Beholding
The lonely death of the sun
A transfiguration
A rebirth
Beholding
The lonely death of the world
A true transfiguration
A true rebirth
The oak in the field
Is a pillar of the world
The path in the field
Is a border of eternity
The oak in the field
Is the pillar of the world
The furrow in the field
Is a black chasm
Between matter and time
A chasm between matter and time

Dew and Blood
05:27
|
|||
The last night of the harvest
And the first night of winter falls
Silence lies over the forest
The trees stand watchful
The moon beckons us into the night
And so we follow
Under the glimmer of torches
With the pulse of our quiet steps
Out of the shining mist
The shapes of the burial mounds rise
We can see them waiting
In the night we light fires
Into the night we call the spirits
And this time they come
The night explodes with a storm
Ancient hands once dead
Now wield weapons of bronze
The storm rages and rumbles
As blades tear flesh
In the shining mist
The shapes of the burial mounds stand
The forest hears the wailing
Carnage in the night
Under the raging skies
The piercing wail of death
In the pale morning
The forest awakens
Dew and blood cover the earth
