Out of reach in realms beyond All light and truth the hidden son From bloodied womb father creation Narcissus high among the suns Under inanimate lakes of carrion pallor Where the weight of purity bore him down Enthroned on thorns of brimstone fury The thief of always anoints his brow Legion guide us, calvary calls Entwined in threads of earthbound lust The blood of Hubris rising (fearful) Cast him down, nay cast him out Beneath sombre forest funeral halflight And moonsoaked spires of mighty oak Titans march to summers death throes Valour gilded hearts to overthrow (The Sleeping Tyrant)

(Music and lyrics by Walker) Forgive me father (for I have dreamed) Of nighted vales, Betwixt time and light Still falls the rain, Silent, unclean Unfetted, unleashed, I sought the gate Lascivious, beckoning, At thresholds forbode Satyriasis vermivorous in shadow encloaked Frozen in antiquity (Mocking cruelly) Tervous in angle The citadels profane Across yawning chasm of tribulation Farewell to Sol, in perpetuam rise (Ascension beyond) corporeal constraint Would the glaze of Algol seat my eyes? Winds from the black mountain rend and tear Sepulchral thanes, so much walking dust Ice locked the nexus, an empire awaits Axiom abhorrent, protean triumvirate Forgive me father (for I walk alone) To a destiny untainted, opaque, my own

(Music and lyrics by Walker) Enjewelled the crown, of mirrored deception Where the serpent lay coiled, upon Babalian tower In charnel gardens, spawn twelve black orchids Colder than death, incandescent they shine Sentinels of stone, Speak sweet delirium Paragons of virtue, With poison tongues Ossific cathedrals Masqued in innocence Belie wrath Arcanum (are we undone) Downward Christus soldier onwards From your twisted tower (of malice and spite) The opiate archeus that you feast upon Our primal lands of winter and night Damn us all with your mercy and charity From chaos is found, true shape and form The inferno of summer may hold us in check But we will awaken, no longer in thrall

(Music by Netherwood and Ingram, lyrics by Walker) From frozen edifice unheeded my calls Dream silent among grey basalt halls Neither here, nor ever, did I belong The haunted, the hunted, still stands alone And ice enshrined this fragile kingdom Awoke desires of forgotten bliss Rise to the sun then fall in anguish Tenebrous sorrow this day would bring Ethereal watchers with eloquence spoke Such myriad lands now forsook Dusk scorched orchid her sweet perfume In carven mausolea star born consume Tread softly for now, kin of the night A winter moon guides to her palace of light Granted paths to higher realm sought On ebon wings together take flight Rekindle tempests, enslaved by frost Her gentle caress, a graven kiss Such towering visions of mortality refrain Fair Lilith be found, her hand would I claim

(Music by Ingram, lyrics by Walker) Who watches the watchers upon lunisolar shores? Of grim forest lake, in telluric angor (Awake) yet I dreamt, as three suns had bade Of wyrmtongued, lurid, ill sired scions Who watches the watchers, who sought of their truth A leering abyss that beckons to fools But black pennants fly in a suffocating night Atop a keep of lore, where hope yet shines

(Music and lyrics by Walker) Lend me your steel moribund man For three suns drown a kingdom (of dusk) And (as lost portents) three moons wane The soil drank our blood with insatiable thirst A mute ocean sleeps behind dormant eyes The warrior (that was I) a shadow in stone I was the wrath beneath the heavens In ebon forest, upon oaken throne I was a liege at the end of light By alchemiculte, petrified Circean substratum (a conflux corrupt) Invictus (I fell to Cthonian touch) Heinous megalithic ruins yet stand Corvous flesh reigns in my wake Sapient, lorn, pariah to all Three suns would see me still unborn (Hail! Hail!)

(Music and lyrics by Walker) Beyond these mountains lay vistas of dread Black sea of infinity herein they drift Devolved as one atrophied architects Cyclopean forms askew in the midst (Of) seraphic decay, an unbeheld might The arcane majesty a conqueror awaits Captors of millennia cloaked in confusion Cast ever out to the tides of time Gathered in silent peripheral empires (Of) dust choked oceans who sing their last Vanquished voyagers of revelation A brooding enigma yet still to pass Sinistral gulfs yet may be crossed To ophidian cowering citadels Raptorial judgement upon all our sins This placid island of ignorance

Now that I know that the right time has come My prediction will surely be true The impending disaster, it looms And the whole of the village is doomed Why won't you listen to me Is it so hard to understand That I am the real seventh son Your life or death on me depends Suffering and pain, impending disaster Souls crying, the devil's laughter I heard the cry of the seven whistlers Lucifer smiles, looks on and awaits I'll take your life in my hands Your fate, your fortune's in my visions Heed what I say and you'll see what will be Please listen to me Now that they see the disaster is done Now they put all the blame unto me They feel I brought on a curse Don't they know that the torment It stays with me, knowing that I walk alone Through the eyes of the future I see They don't even know what fear is Don't they know I'm the one who is cursed Purgatory beckons, souls lost forever Life after death or heaven hereafter Heard the call of the seven whistlers again Now Lucifer laughs, hell awaits I had their lives in my hands Their fate, their fortunes in my vision No one believed in my true prophecy And now it's too late
