Channelling Ancient Shadows

Enter the shadow of darkness unearth from the grave A desolate world of madness land of the depraved Primordial forces reveal the hidden ghostly shadow Concealed beyond the path begging me to follow Alive within the dream stigmatic visions appear Attempt to elucidate the familiar reflection I fear Nocturnal realm I conjure you Nocturnal realm I become you Crucify the empty tyrant the one who's always been Consciousness and fear no longer shrouding me A painstaking process begins to restore a forgotten past The denied suppressed and shamed all become one Chilling winds blow internally within this nocturnal realm Gazing into the unconscious I fear beyond retrieval Seeking an ancient existence the collective symbols of old No empathy or escape inviting the dark unknown Awaken from the underworld the mystical journey begins The reflection has been reassembled from shattered pieces within Nocturnal realm I conjure you Nocturnal realm I become you

I follow broken trails from past decades led by lost souls and darkened spirits Haunting and screaming eternally a covenant in blood gathers ghouls and hordes Surrounding the village like a dark plague shrouding the moonlight Instilling me with fear their powers of darkness are overwhelming Curse of the immortal tyrants crimes will be committed here unforgivable killings Curse of the immortal tyrants crimes are committed here unforgivable killings Curse of the immortal tyrants crimes have been committed here unforgivable killings Curse of the immortal tyrants show no mercy or regret Spirits of the undead awaken from the underworld spread your of destruction Death awaits all who trample here an eternity of suffering A violent and bloody attack upon the innocent villagers Strangled and beheaded bodies lay in the midst of the undead Curse of the immortal tyrants crimes will be committed here unforgivable killings Curse of the immortal tyrants crimes are committed here unforgivable killings Curse of the immortal tyrants crimes have been committed here unforgivable killings Curse of the immortal tyrants show no mercy or regret Burning victims at the stake for the sins of their forefathers Whores raped and buried alive wombs are left for dead Tortured screams echoed through the forest lost souls left eternally shadowed No villagers left alive their suffering will never end Curse of the immortal tyrants crimes will be committed here unforgivable killings Curse of the immortal tyrants crimes are committed here unforgivable killings Curse of the immortal tyrants crimes have been committed here unforgivable killings Curse of the immortal tyrants show no mercy or regret Slit throats left to bleed dismembered bodies Possessed villagers killing their own suicide never to return

In a desolate land millenia ago Blood poured from the eldest man Sacrificed deprived of living blood A martyr from the evil darkness at hand Cold oh so cold As his eyes stared into immortality An unknown universe so dark So vast so overwhelmingly cold Oh so cold The pale moon reaching across the land Is cradled atop the darkened forest Beckoning a new beginning The autumnal equinox is at hand The specter of the new dominion Cast his blood through the sands Cold oh so cold As his eyes stared into immortality An unknown universe so dark So vast so overwhelmingly cold Oh so cold

On this cold winter night under the twilight sky I sense the hatred from afar A long awaited death the killing of a true evil A bloody struggle is imminent Land of eternal darkness under the nocturnal winter skies Land of eternal darkness past the ancient forest Land of eternal darkness on top of the freezing mountains The hordes surround me stabbing me with spears Impaling my lifeless body sealing my fate to darkness Buried in this coffin darkness shrouding me with fear Shoveled Earth echoing through my mind a desolate dungeon of madness Land of eternal darkness under the nocturnal winter skies Land of eternal darkness past the ancient forest Land of eternal darkness on top of the freezing mountains Faint voices chanting rejoice my killing My corpse lies powerless the silence is deafening All will pay for this blasphemy all will suffer eternally Many nights have passed alone in the dark crypt Through the darkened forest the haunting winds carry my call The necro moon is full the witching hour is here Summoned shadow release me from this grave Hordes of the undead will avenge the living Eternal plague shall be cast over these lands Land of eternal darkness under the nocturnal winter skies Land of eternal darkness past the ancient forest Land of eternal darkness on top of the freezing mountains

Hollow vessel of darkness he who covets the empty Shall dwell in solitude for all eternity An egocentric empire banishing heedlessly Within these armored gates you wield our destiny Narcissistic King of emptiness ruler of these lands Your gates shall be ravaged hordes you no longer command Penetrate my resistance a dire psychological rape Spread your incestuous seeds of destruction and hate Beheading the oppressor a crucifixion is at hand Tyranny begets anarchy unleash the chaos upon these lands Fall under my shroud of darkness veil you from the unclean Freedom within the dungeon denial is the key Tired of this infant before me speak to me once again Of tales from a forgotten past secrets concealed within The deserted ancient castle where she no longer dwells Deep within the psyche the hidden specter is unveiled Within this primal realm your reign must subside A dark and powerful force threatens to edify Through push and pull an inner struggle a dethroning is at hand A mandatory transformation the duality of man The mask has slipped the walls have fallen Projecting a reflection of the downtrodden Do not heed the warnings from these discordant cries And do not seek reflection within a mirror of lies With shallow desires I form with a lying hand I rule Submerge all who surface from this cesspool I am your protector your weathered castle of faith I can all but heal the scars from which you hate Along the forgotten path leads the ghostly figure Buried deep within the shadow is a mirror An amoral reflection of the suppressed disdained and forgotten One without the other shall conquer once again One without the other shall conquer once again Time to reunite for we have always been Redraw this circle is to forfeit your reign

Cast into the shadow of darkness wrongfully dismissed A once prolific boy is now silenced To a dull grey existence a lifeless domain A desolate realm of isolation never to return Banished victim unveil before me Your mystical light forever beckoning Purity and innocence were his only crimes Divine forsaken child struggle to survive Tread along the lonely path hear his empty cries Withering away a fated demise Sorrow and hatred dwell these lands Of forgotten hopes and shattered dreams Where the evil and shamed convene as one To perish in this shallow grave This dark and lonely place once forbidden Now destined to conquer through attrition Your charade can no longer deny the beast within Glance down upon the tomb this mythical lost grave Exhume the decomposed and dissect the remains Morphing within a fated demise A new wavelength holds a dark beginning The familiar reflection ensues a long suffering Through atonement within the journey

Under the wintry moon I journey through the dark forest Towering mountains surround the frozen land Mystical Funeral Fog shrouds the snow covered trees Dissonant echoes sound through the forest Nearing my long awaited passage I sense the spectral figure An amorphous reflection of evil Beyond the visible spectrum Channeling ancient shadows the curtain of darkness descends Unveiling a forgotten past projecting abominations Channeling ancient shadows the curtain of darkness ascends Eclipsing the wintry moonlight beacons me through the forest I enter the somber lit cavern The shaman speaks of great tales Stories of others who have gone and passed Under a cold trance he shows my fate and destiny The metamorphosis is complete A long suffering begins Unveiling the ghostly shadow I embrace the beast within Channeling ancient shadows the curtain of darkness descends Unveiling a forgotten past projecting abominations Channeling ancient shadows the curtain of darkness ascends Eclipsing the wintry moonlight beacons me through the forest I lay dead on the frozen winter ground Dark images channeling through me visions of immortality Smoke rising from the ground I feel your dark embrace Arcane powers surging inside me my astral journey begins Enthralled in this world of shadows I descend into darkness
