Boreal Wolves
05:41
|
|

The wailing of the lupine cries
Upon the winds of death
From the mountain's frosted peaks
Comes father winters frozen breath
An ode to the dying of the light
A call to winter wolves below
Awakening from dormant slumber
Reborn anew the falling snow
From the frozen forest floor
Fiends of frost and ice emerge
To satisfy their ancient hunger
And bring about the winter scourge
The numbing cold and winter winds
The loveless face of death
The triumph of the Boreal fiends
And father winter's frozen breath
Triumph against the light
The triumph of death
Triumph of the Boreal Wolves
And father winters frozen breath

Cult of the Winter Winds
08:17

|

Where not light nor warmth exist
In desolate forest old
Nor reprieve from the gusting winds
And the biting bitter cold
Not love nor life is there here
In this isolated keep
Where grief devours the heart of man
And lulls hope back to sleep
Where not even anger
Can light the flame inside
To illuminate the heart
In which his hate resides
Where there is only numbing
Brought about by winter's wrath
In solitary suffering
On this forlorn winter path
The numbing of the body
And the silencing of mind
The loss of all sensation
The marching of the blind
Upon this path he treads alone
To answer the northern call
As winter's hand sweeps across
And brings death to us all
To a barren land of snow and ice
Far from the love of man
To rest his bones and spirit now
As death sweeps through the land

Rituals of Rotten Flesh
09:06
|
|
||
Solemn they await for the dying of the light
For the chilling of the air and the beckoning of night
For the howls of the wind and the darkening of sky
For the cloaking of the fog and the blinding of the eye
Solemn they await for the breaking of the chains
When the sun's light dims in the waning of the day
In forlorn night beneath the palemoon's glow
Among the shadows cast on ground below
Ghosts circle the cemetery gates
In silent desperation
Necromantic rites
Rituals of rotten flesh
A call to the beyond
The raising of the dead
The breaking of the chains
The quelling of the pain
A call to the beyond
The echo from the void
The necromantic rites
Rituals of rotten flesh
The ceremony flame
A life remade
And as the smoke begins to rise
A signal in the moonlit night
From the ashes now reborn
The wretched and forgotten
Unchained from shackles
That bind to unlife
Silencing of the shade's lament
The reckoning of fallen men
Cursed no more to haunt
Endlessly

Shadow From the Tomb
05:11
|
|
||
Shackled and bound
In these chambers cold and wet
The unforgiving stone resounds
The faint lament of cruel regret
Dispassionate resolve
To crush the faintest hope of sight
Will and soul slowly dissolve
And give way to hopeless plight
Shadowed apparitions rise
And pull upon the tired chain
Dragging towards quiet demise
With not struggling or strain
From the shadows of this cell
Vengeance sings a soothing song
To the cadence of the silent bells
To end a suffering prolonged
Reborn anew within its womb
Vengeance nurtures new intent
To crawl out from the weathered tomb
And break the bindings of lament

Upon the Eldest Nocturne
11:48
|
|

Floating Sphere of Mystery
O, Thousand-faced Moon
Ever weeping, Solitary in the Freezing Sky
Ever tugging upon the waves
To gently bring in the tide
So cold his ruined face
So pale the pitted flesh
Rising each night to haunt
And plot the Sun's death
Alone knowing the true depths of Self Loathe
As awakened each day in the barren wastes
Waste not hope or promise here
The graveyard where wishes reside
Outside the Shadow of God
Where the Adversary walks
By the light of the Morning Star
Where not even the longest arm of the Sun may reach
Just another dying star
Unwanted child of a sky that kills all it births
The Moon shall see the Death of the Sun
And Fall the Heavens
And perish the Sun
Let the soul drift
Upon the Eldest Nocturne
