Ancient Ceremony Fallen Angel's Symphony 1. Death In Desire's Masquerade Death came to me as Maiden Death came to me as Beast Venus smiled at us that eerie Autumn Night Candlelight Banquet in Victorian Halls enflamed my Love for Her Even Poet's passionate Verses were unable to evoke a true Description of such tremendous Fierceness Though appearing as sweet Woman such a Beauty could not be human "Art Thou my Destiny?" Whilst we embraced Moonlight touched Thy soft Lips Such pale Skin, as white as purest Snow Wind curled Thy ebony Hair like Vipers on Medusa's Head Less the Horror than the Grace turned me almost into Stone Infected with such idolatrous Shape my deepest Dreams came true These red magic Eyes, like bleeding Flowers made me Slave to Her Erotic Kisses under whispering Trees were my Foretaste of Eden Melancholia's Fire burnt in highest Flames when She told me to leave "Will Thou be mine again, most sinful of all Demons?" "Encrimsoned Fullmoon is the Sign when my Spirit shall cover Thine At the eldest Oak of the Midnight Forest I'll teach Thee Secrets buried in Stone and by a Force to Man unknown I shall never be alone!" With blind Thirst for that doomy Hour I wandered through my Days like (in) Trances Tears of Blood stole from Moon's Eyes and were Omen to me Bats haunted deep nightly Woods whilst we kissed again in fierce Nocturnal Embrace Love-drunken Slumber led me away from Mortal's sighing World "Awake now to face my real Countenance!" Thus to me spake Azrael in the Robe of godlike Beauty "Hades sent His loveliest Angel to grant Thee Expiration divine!" Death came in Desire's Masquerade 2. Bride's Ghostly Grace "Where Love is denied fatal Passion may shine bright" Like to me in this destinuous Night Visions granted by the Sphere of Dreams Unearthly Desire Whilst entering the Castle Halls Magnificent Whisper welcomes me As Bride's ghostly Grace is unveiled the Courtain of my Tragedy opens Sweet Choirs like the Tunes of Paradise She spreads Bewitchment with Her magenta Eyes and Darkside Kisses poison me Oh Eternity, I long for Thy Caress Speak to me in golden Tongue "My Love once was denied now Thee all feel my Hate and Pride" for I seduce and kill with Delight Ethereal Embrace my Tears are Diamonds to Her This lovelost Spirit dines on my Soul Now dance with me like dead Leaves in Autumn-Wind I adrift... the cold Arms of Death await Now dance with me like the Stars around the Moon Bride's ghostly Grace "Where Love was denied Thousands for their Lifes have cried" as She haunts without Mercy the Night 3. Black Roses On Her Grave (Desdemona's Secret) A Requiem to the most ardent witnessed Beauty Bloody Baroness, Thine is my Heart eternally! Destiny led us together Destiny took Thee away, oh Phantom of my Dreams Thy spooky Fancy now seems lost to me Awaked by feverish Screams my Nights bath me in Lust and Desire Suck - ubus Copulation, exploding dying Stars "Bring to my Grave a black Rose whenever mighty Death chose to take me at His Hand!" My lovely Mistress, may I fullfil those sensual Words Thou whispered to me fairy-like as perpetual Testimony: "Per Disciplinam meam Tenebrae videbis" "Desdemona in this Grave doth sleep Darkside Secrets She doth keep bring to Her Roses, black as Night to make Her Thy demonic Bride!" Gravestone unveils this mystic Script ghostlike it is carved in Temptating me for Orgasms with the Dead "Desdemona in this Grave doth sleep Darkside Secrets She doth keep bring to Her Roses, black as Night to make Her Thy demonic Bride!" 4. The Devil's Paradise The Devil sings a Song for superior Children, Darkness'own seduces them as Worshippers for His Paradise beyond A fierce Hadit Kiss I am the Flame in the Heart of Man The Knowledge of Death Beauty and Strength as Weaponry, thus my Force and Fire Pleasure of the secret Serpent to let the Weak die in Misery Divine Embrace and eternal Ecstasy in this golden bridal Eyes The Magic (k) of glorious Stars rains down an Expiration sweeter than Death "Love one another with burning Hearts on the Weak trample in the fierce Lust of Thy Pride on the Day of Wrath" Be Thou proud and mighty and strive ever to more! The Slaves shall serve and perish in their Veil of Sorrow (There is no Truth except for "Do what Thou wilt...") This is the Law of the Strong and the Joy of our World "Liebet einander mit brennenden Herzen und trampelt auf den niederen Menschen in der wilden Lust Eures Stolzes am Tage Eures Zorns!" I usurp my innermost Throne crown myself as King in the Devil's Paradise 5. The Tragedy Of Forsaken Angels The Tragedy of forsaken Angels A Drama full of dismal Grief once there was Peace in Paradise in heavenly Solitude they might dwell but bitter Tears dropped out ethereal Eyes Chains of weak Obeydiance made them turn to Hell Proud Satan, Thy Revolt unveiled sweet Nectar of Aphrodite's Womb How could Delight be Sin? Rebelling Angels thus darkly seduced Initiation of new Eden and Astarte rules supreme in purest Phoenician Passion Ramiel descends Icon of empyreal Temptation Daughters of Men, drunken of Eros offer fruitful menstrual Wine Bridal Lust, Intercourse, decadent Desires Even Jehova's Plague here can't opress Secrets of orgiastic Shrine A sanguinaire Sacrifice under the Seal of Virginity Fountain for Sodom's mighty Gods ...but where there is Darkness there has to be Light the Cherubim remember, the Seraphim fright "How art Thou fallen from Heaven, Lucifer, Son of the Morning?" the Army of white Angels laughs "This darkly singing Nightingale sounds sweeter than Thy Prayers to me!" 6. Amidst Crimson Stars Silently the Moon fulfills Her Move amidst lovely crimson Stars He (She) who has Wilt will reach the Gate through the Moon, through me, through the proud Angel Now Silence ends, lunar Beauty ascends in charming morbid Glance The Kiss of Isis, as sweet as Honey leads me into a World beyond In bloody Triumph I found my Wilt Here I rule as my only God Glory to Thee who gleams like Jewels from Alpha to Omega May none fall who desires the Sword, the Balance, the Crown! 7.
