Opus Magnum

Ravishing children in perilous times Mother of harlots recanting her vice Maelstroms...On the wings of a dove Innocence lost In for the kill Galloping thunder waving its sword Brother to Death in darkness is born Perish...In the bludgeoned presence of foes Innocence lost In for the kill No glory for sorrows No solace in harlots No sunlight in shadows No comfort embracing the dead Fiery red fury unleashing its might Drowning the laughter of ages to come Silence...As the megatons fall Ashes to ash Dust turns to dust Nuclear winters yearning for dawn Stealing the life out of every last breath Vanish...In the mist of a gangrenous gaze Ashes to ash Dust turns to dust No whispering sorrows Find comfort in harlots Unveiling the horrors Consumed by conflict and strife And now as the trees start to tremble Deepening damnation, the rolling bell Running with wolves, moribund consripts are waiting to die Lest cowards may horde the sunset that fades in the west Ashes, ashes, ashes Dust turn to dust

In the path of good fortune Yet another leads astray In the midst of abundance Woeful songs sung in vain On a hill fervid cavalier Spills no blood upon his scales Weighs the flesh of my brother Weighs the flesh of my foe Hearts cursed with hunger And the hollow gaze of fear Grieving souls this dreadful hour Barren lands spread to the north Blind as the vulture that its final feast awaits Judgement passed deliverance lies morose Futile demise, thirsting swallows are singing my praise Singing my praise Death throes escaping the silence of untimely death Judgement passed, deliverance etched in stone Carry my corpse far beyond to fabled lands To fabled lands In fields of famine In fields of dread Forsaken reapers Harvest emptiness Flight takes the swallow To journey's end Singing their last dirges To immortal stars flying high Children Shadows of their graves Watch them die Wistful Winds of staid regrets Hear their cries Brethren Fleeing memories Pass them by Sullen Darkness blinds the sky Darkened soul In the path of good fortune Yet another leads astray In the midst of abundance Woeful songs sung in vain On a hill fervid cavalier Spills no blood upon his scales Weighs the flesh of my brother Weighs the flesh of my foe Hearts cursed with hunger And the hollow gaze of fear Grieving souls this dreadful hour Barren lands spread to the north

Dreadful visions Of seas turning black Silent conquests masked In mortal white Rolling thunder Mountains of brass Marching one by one To steal the light Howling mongrels Forewarning doom Seeping poisons From the serpent's kiss One-eyed liars Spewing at the mouth False pretences linger Hiding in the clouds The deciever Sowing seeds of death The apocrypha The deciever Digging endless graves Reaping fallacies Dying embers Burning at both ends Blind indifference Gorging promises Fragrant sorrows Weeping to the wind Blissful ignorance Until time stands still Lonesome solace Riding out the storm Fearless paupers Stand on shallow ground Fading shimmer Dueling beasts of vice Stoic hopefuls battle Scrambling at dawn The deciever Digging endless graves Reaping fallacies The destroyer Rising in the East For the last crusade Light is fading Worlds collide In the last hour As words become lies In darkly worlds With wielding swords Wild beasts await Remorse and Sin Death's angels freed From Hades' dark side Damned be the children, cursed the land Between two worlds Where Death lurks near A wailing song to Fate's last breath A valiant steed A crown and bow Son of perdition and false pretence From blackened seas Ascending dead In chains their souls In flight their pride (Death lurks the corners of the earth) And one by one In endless demise Relive their death with no reprise (Son of perdition and false pretence)

Eerie calling In the pale moonlight Carrying darts of death with Hades at his side Wretched conquest A rogue's delight Stealing dawn's first kiss, craven thief of night Pallid slaughter Riding storms Hungry oceans gain on kingly shores Reaping angel In grim delight Greenish tinge upon his countenance Stealing the life from our eyes Standing still black as the night Eternal companion of kings Reaping rewards of our sins Pallid slaughter Riding storms Hungry oceans gain on kingly shores Reaping angel In grim delight Stealing dawn's first kiss, craven thief of night Stealing the life from our eyes Standing still black as the night Eternal companion of kings Reaping rewards of our sins Death seeks Life Through seas of blood He rides King of dire Flames and pyres Dawn in pieces Night closes in on the morn Bells toll ice-cold Lost souls forlorn Damning bells, spirits dwell Earthly hell, farewell

Fire...I hold the mythic flame within my palm Fire...Wildly dancing in the still of night This dream that fades before it soars A frozen lake of blood and guilt Abandon hope, who enter here My love has died so long ago Cowards...You preached from temples made of flesh and bone Envy...She was the poison torturing your souls Gorging...Devouring killer gnawing at our scars Fury...A beast in bondage rotting in the ground And my heart and my soul flee with the flames Once we were kings Before your throne We tasted death For promised stars in skies we longed Yet stars don't shine, where darkness reigns May fiery hope deliver us And my heart and my soul flee with the flames Once we were kings And the wind gently sings Of the lives we have lost But once we were kings And as the fire sears our weary flesh The seven rays have lost their hold The slaves of yore rise with the smoke This reign shall fall and rise no more Your wrath remains, your pleasure wretched A wayward child lost in the storm Forgotten feats return to haunt your doom I will not be the last to go And my heart and my soul flee with the flames Once we were kings And the wind gently sings Of the lives we have lost But once we were kings...

The secrets of cities fade The wail of cretins cease Enveloped by waves of shadows As armies of locusts charge Devouring our hell Fateful days lay twisted and in ruins Morning dew, a dying soul As flowers fade to black Forget-me-nots remember well The call of darkness brought by the lonesome wind Fatal whispers and tears of death Void, formless, fear-breathing Ill fury Will damn you To never see the light While the souls of martyrs mourned As the cries of chaos plagued a dying world We stooped down into the depths Of a splendid world Blinded by the haunting depths Hand in hand with sinners Until soon all was lost

I drown in ashes As demons thrive Unsightly faces behind the mask Sweet embers hide my dying eyes The smell of amber And weary lies Evoke the ages Of humbly times To cloak the sorrow in virgin white Few fought back the darkness The eternal black In the midst of the terror As the tyrants reigned In ensuing violence And pandemic rage Taking their wrath home With the words of a prince On the brink of destruction Most vile race When the sound of the trumpets Never found their way Drowned out by laugher Now the cross is ablaze Hell-bent and hellbound Hallowed downpour of plague Damnation unleashed On desolate plains On oceans of sadness The tempest howls As time stands still And torment takes shape In the wake of doom With open arms Lorn saving grace For pest and friend In darkness dwell Fire...Deliverance
