Cimmerian Shade

A sacral crowd in white gowns is gathered in the grove Contrasting to the sundown, The figures start to move The ghost of earth is breathing in the rows of swaying wheat The gratifying fire of winter needs to eat Wattled heath and ivy to honor the unseen Wickers in the image of the never-been The beat of drums is pacing the chant of ancient names The foe the crowd is facing has risen from the flames The skeleton of autumn, inimical and mean Heaps up above the Pyre of the Harvest Queen With eyes fixed at the steeple embellished as a crow The group of naked people is swaying to and fro Their voices make a choir to the distant somber beat The gratifying fire of winter needs to eat

From the foot of the mountain beyond sight From the depth of the furthermost wood Through the shadows that move with the moonlight Comes the darkness is cloak and hood Unto children who play 'round the pyre Unto women who walk through the night Unto mean sitting watch by the fire Strikes the darkness that kills with a bite The Hunter... A stalker of human prey On the loose 'til the light of day At dusk you become it's prey At your neck 'til the break of day From the nethermost soil of the graveyard From the hill of forgotten fears Past the gate with the slumbering town guard Sneaks the foe of a thousand years Riding memories too hurtful to handle On the nightwind that smells of the sea Blowing into extinguish your candle Comes Death to pay homage to thee

Burning autumn rust Decay and desire Unbowed forest lust Soul meets fire Out of the old horn Ancestral hunger Flesh of the unborn Ripped asunder Hexahedron Bleeding obelisk Hexahedron Six-faced monlith Ecatatic nighttime burial Vanquished beauty Sacralizing Ariel Lust and cruelty Six secret pathways to the altar The serpent god is waiting in the spoor Six hidden gateways of the psalter The idol head lies buried in the moor Blood from the mountain in a bone-bound cask The spray of the cardinal fountain paints your mask
