The End Of Days
1. The End Of Days
sky clad dance
the magick black
as the ravens eyes tonight
the unseen draped in darkness
spawn of the twilight
will join us in our circle and chant with us the runes
to weave the spells of holy war
beneath the pale full moon
blessed with wormwood visions
unfold now fore our eyes
the secrets of the darkest arts
of death the grand devise
our book of shadows inked in blood
our goetia will reveal
a path forbidden and by time
buried and concealed
nightshade belladonna
adorn forgotten graves
with your demonic beauty
bring us now
the end of days
awake now from your slumber
from your dreamless sleep tonight
by the gates of death you've waited
we summon you now rise
three times six the crucifix
now broken and defiled
the wonds inverted as Lords prayer
is recited heretic style
thirteen candles lit the bell chimes
now the time has come
thunder roars a cold wind blows
the war has just begun
devilry witches vile at work
sharpening the torture spells
we scorch the heavens with the screams
of dying angels bound for hell
a black magick crazed apocalypse
with a hellish roar ablaze
the deathly words of the inferno mass
bring us now
the end of days
nightshade belladonna
adorn forgotten graves
with your demonic beauty
bring us now
the end of days
2. Gothic Lullaby
A white lie my bride on her silken sheet
red as the blossom of crimson deeds
her dress is stained by the sins she craved
I am damned I fear I can not be saved
with a smile she kissed my life goodbye
and so begins this gothic lullaby
carnal, her intentions she whispered to me
a shameless invitation to the cemetery
to play in the moonlight where the dead are laid to rest
to rejoice in the flesh among the ghostlike silhouettes
of the statues and tombstones surrounding the scene
where love tumed into the most horrible dream
the truth of her nature so cunningly concealed
was in the heat of the moment suddenly revealed
aroused by the passion that flavoured her kiss
bewitched by the heat she rode me to bliss
she bid me to enter the cavern of sin
the temple flesh erected therein
I drank from the nectar that streamed from her well
while she opened my veins and the gateway to hell
lost where all hope of salvation and grace
the path of the damned was for me to embrace
white lie my bride in our foul retreat
so cold and pale in her winding sheets
far from the sun in a desecrated grave
I am damned I fear I can not be saved
wicked wicked vile saturnine
stygian shadow among shadows malign
wicked wicked vile saturnine
stygian shadow among shadows malign
plague bringer harbinger of gloom and demise
a pestilence disguised an apparition of life
plague bringer harbinger of gloom and demise
a pestilence disguised an apparition of life
3. Anarchos
ghastly spirits unchained roam
pitch black oceans nevermore
bound to serve stillborn thoughts
nevermore enslaved to fight and die for naught
fear the flag of raging storms
adomed with skull and bones
the wolf pack of the midnight sea
hunts you down to Davy Jones
a holy war has been declared
the hooded troops are waiting eagerly prepared
from the shadows bricks are thrown
at the puppets of the corrupted state and law
crimson symphonies performed
in orchestral black chain mail
a prelude in chaos and heavy rain
of Molotov cocktails
Anarchos!
Lucifer smiles a light in his eyes he still remember
a rebellion divine recalled as malign and the rot of heaven
he sees how they rise like fires ignite by a glowing ember
and his spirit lives on
Anarchos!
In the midst of the clockwork people
a question s raised and the cogwheels break
the system fails the operators
the engineers face the riots rage
We cannot die!
4. The Way Of The Serpent
tranquility kiss the paralyzed bliss
come flowing red as the blood that is shed
on the way of the serpent of the abysmal sea
by venom and dagger and foul witchery
souls dissolve as mysteries unfold
in the dead of the night haunted and cold
piercing fangs eat their way through the flesh
of the mass born to bondage and death
sucking the fat off the flogged sacrifice
defiling the temple of life
the way of the serpent a scourge of mankind
the carnivorous plague of the night
ceremonial slaughter in clandestine kill
for Leviathan great let fate now embrace
our black hearts with the power and the glory of the way
of hell in shadows we eagerly wait
from sewers and dungeons and pits dripping wet
spawn of the gorgons rise from the depths
bring hell unto earth let your gaze petrify
the vermin that soil the sight of our eyes
we re culling the herd a crimson disease
spreads like wildfire we re burning the fields
to summon the massacre storm that will shred
the flesh off the living and spare nothing from death
swift as the viper lethal we strike
the way of the serpent of terror and fright
blasphemous offspring of Satan now rise
from the lair of the adder Armageddon in sight
come friends of disaster hell-bound and free
the storm let it roar its choral of war
over cities in ruin and corpses ablaze
the Garden of Eden and heaven in flames
5. The Gallows Lord
whisper my names to the murder of crows
to the twilight and to the cold wind that blows
through your marrow and bones through your heart and your soul
whisper my names to the worms and the mould
walk in my shadows and know that I'm near
when you least expect it I m the moment you fear
I m the father of nightmares I am time passing by
walk in my shadows until it s your turn to die
swing back and forth to the choir of flies
swing back and forth in the sun's fading light
swing back and forth I will hold you so tight
swing back and forth while we dance through the night
swing back and forth to the choir of flies
swing back and forth in the sun's fading light
swing back and forth at the end of the rope
swing back and forth so far beyond hope
