Nightbringer
Album • 2006
I set the flaming eye of Algol upon my brow And ride forth upon sepulchral fog with serpents and shades Under the thousand eyes of Night and her black wings And where I pass birds fall from the sky and soil is salted With arboreal haunts on which every tree hangs a wailing man I commune and learn the Gospel of the Fall I nail the Ravens Head upon the oak at the crossroads of death And see with hollowed eyes what the earth has swallowed I hear the cries of what still rots within its belly I smell decay and the spoiling of the flesh, the incense of the dead And I behold the Gate. All secrets first lie below Down beyond the sinking corporal houses, into the depths, across the abyss into vacuous black Unto the other shore so far beyond the reaches of the flesh, beyond time The Phosphorus blaze the heavenly jewel of thy crown illuminates this kingdom beyond the veil of death The pillars of its gnosis rising before my host And with a single word and the breath of flame, I bring forth the Dawn Let the wary weep as slumber turns to death Let the earth smolder and heave as the Golden Pillars rise

Come unto me Seraphim de Sopor Sec ulum I offer my flesh and blood that I may pluck a feather from the wings of the Angel of Death May it be a quill with which I scribe the forms of thy sacred names From the sanguine of my heart and open the gates to the labyrinth beyond slumber and death Relinquishing my corporeal form to shadow as I will pass beyond in luminous form With serpent tongue I summon those shades that would taste of the gifts of the living I, psychopomp to the agape of the stygian maze But one star shines tenebrous upon these colossal depths Nefarious pulsing Daemon's Head, risen in culmination above the atramentous wastes Sup upon these vestments I cast away, oh shambling eidolons and shadow forms of murk and drear And lay bare the knowledge unbegotten of any god I ride the currents of Erebus upon ebon wings into aphonic gulfs unending As a star new born I have become A beacon in the abyss
