The Ghost Road

Obsessed, no rest Seduced by the allure of death Lost souls you trust Reduced to nought but bones and dust Cold crypts you'll seize To master morbid mysteries Dark dreams devour Awaiting the nocturnal hour The ritual falls tonight Dark shadows fill your sight Disquieting the dead's final rites Necromancer The tomb is what you crave Necromancer Exhuming from the grave Necromancer Cold voices fill your head Necromancer Communion with the dead Possessed by Death And welcoming its cold caress Strong will, sharp blade Your blood must spill to feed the shade An arc of light Defies the darkness of the night Lost Arts once told To Emperors and Kings of old Paint your sigil Traced in fire Speak the words that tell of your desire Incantations Shades arrive Seek dark secrets from the afterlife

There's a beast that stalks this land Far more fearsome than the hound Falling between wolf and man The War Wolf hunts on sacred ground Aconite: a deadly infusion Driving out the wolf in a man Cast you out! Defied with a howl and a shout Send thee well Faster and surer to Hell This cunning creature can be told When steel or iron strike the beast And spit him crosswise in the cold To show the human underneath With ash-twigs we'll thrash you without mercy Inside The Circle bound by blood; we'll bleed your soul...

She stands in the fire and watches The Blood Moon's high tonight Auroras erupting before her tonight She finds he own mind's grown disdainful Lamenting what she had But the rebirth of The Earth is painful And sad Burn down the skies The Heaven's demise In vengeance she cries The Silent God Would men take revenge like The Rider? No dousing her desire When The God's ancient blood burns inside her like fire She has no desire to meet regret When guarding what is left In the silence where Greed speaks in secret With Death Death is the key In silence is she Surviving the giants that rise from the sea Black is the land By War's Firebrand Courting her vengeance and forcing her hand...

What heals all wounds Yet lays waste to us all? What can be killed But cannot be destroyed? What kills more people than wars? What will extinguish the stars? Fear the passage of Time No weapon is known to mankind That can match its might Watch now as all Your temples and empires fall Tremble in awe Destroyer of your world... What has run out At the moment we die? Years flashing by In the blink of an eye What makes achievements seem grand? What leaves them lost in the sand? Time will outlast all life and craft Crushed into dust 'neath the weight of the past It's relentless...

In the darkest years Of persecution's wrath It was often feared We would return from death Evil's reprise Feared and despised Never to rise As the flesh melts from this sinner's bones Onlookers quake in fear and then they bury me prone In the cold and dank unhallowed ground My dismembered, staked remains are all that are found Redemption's funeral pyre Quell the unquenchable fire Reopen tombs from the past Bury The Heretic fast At the death-knell's toll Prison made of flesh Blackened, earthbound soul Never to find rest In the grave my mouth is stuffed with stones Silent lips that speak no more in blasphemous tones Fools believe belief can change by force No repentance, no redemption and no remorse Hate all Mankind Building meaningless shrines to 'Devines' Fate of the blind Knelt at altars of lies, with closed eyes The coldest eyes Hatred for Mankind Buried like a deviant, alone Twisted fate of all whose actions challenge God's throne Blackest flames of gnosis darkly burn As a beacon for my necromantic return

Riding the lightning-bolts down from the sky Striking with vengeance at men born to die Rending asunder with fire and steel-claw I am the Thunderer, I am the Spirit of War Make your stand Take their lands Malady Fear is insanity Shed mere humanity Ride into the storm I'll watch you die Where angels lie I'll watch you die Mocking the gods with your treaties and 'peace' Murder and savagery are your release When the skies rumble and fall at your door I am the Thunderer, I am the one you abhor. Spill your blood Crimson Flood ...And die for me

Scholars Will you solve us? Soldiers Will you die? Leaders Will you head us? Rollers Of Death's dice Death is what's real, not the divine There are no set ideals and no grand design Why should we creep through our lives? Taking no chances Why would we speak to the skies? When no one answers? We made the Gods To lessen the pain of Loss And if life is the cost Then irony is not lost Thinkers Without reason? Dreamers With closed minds? Preachers Teach flawed doctrines? Demons of these times Time cannot heal all our crimes For the dead do not fear the passage of time To live with closed eyes Is to pray to the skies Knowing everything dies Forge your own way Shun the path of promised 'glory' Break the unseen chains That bind us to the tyranny of Faith We made the Gods Don't live in other worlds Believe in life before death

I'm walking the ghost road And taking my last steps into silence That vast, endless night... I'm reaping what I've sowed The cruel seeds of sorrow and of violence No more for this life Can you hear them? Can you hear their faint cries? Unspoken Oaths are broken as all hope in them dies. Awoken And now choking on the smoke of old lies No hope left For those bereft, screaming up at the skies I'm walking the ghost road And turning my steps toward an eternal, Supernal dark path The waning sun grows cold To cross the last bridge now means to burn all With Infernal Fire's wrath Wrath! When a dear soul departs Those with a grief-stricken heart Are told to stay strong, but it's wrong When the world's very fabric is falling apart Long everlasting Peace Is guarded by barking beasts Whose anger and hunger breeds something That seethes beneath sadness Unleashed with the madness of grief Through the Kingdoms of Shadows Where the lost ones must walk alone. To the Fields of Forever Where the seed of ascension is sown Ancient ascent Through the fiery spheres of the Heavens Empyrean Black wings unfurl As the world dissolves into darkness The final light of the Sun Open hearts burn with might Upon endless oceans of night
