lyrics

At the Hour of Midnight
Temptation’s Snare
Charnel Abyss in Darkness
He dare not breathe Its’ air

On the Precipice of Vanquished Reason
The Acolytes Impaled
The Sacred Garden, left in ashes,
Corrupts the Earth

The Priest in Waiting
Prepares the Rite
He alights upon the Throne
Oblivious to the Serpent
That Cold Minion of the Night
Who, locked in Torpor, stares
Waiting to strike

A Pathway
Between the Space of Life and Death
In a Corner of his Mind
The Golden Tree
Enshrined in Requiem
Her Branches now Decayed
Standing lonely atop The Stones

Stepping over The Dead
He makes his way
Hewn from the Trenchant Chasm
Of the First Lives
Where Lies the Final Branch

That Heirophant
Now Expired
Mystic
Essence
Absent
Unbound

His Wretched
Earthly Form
Decays
In Silence
In Despair
This Power
No longer in His Grasp

In Dismay
This Hour
Peradventure is His Last

In deception
This Failure
Shall not to Light be Cast

Denied
This Reign
Bereft of Reason

Shattered the Anvil of His Heart
Relegated to Obscurity
Beneath a Pall of Malediction
His Incantations Antiquated
Seething with Venomous Hate
Cimmerian Darkness scars the Air

The Ages Speak to Me
Who now shall take command
The Rites of Ascension
Screaming for Sacrifice
The Architects of the Nexus
