Show Lyrics

Candles flicker guiding me

Through the rusted iron gates

Licking in the soaring winds

Dancing with enchanting grace


The ground beneath my feet heaves

Shifting, rifting, splayed

As I move along the undead throng

Beneath me in their graves


I see glimpses of them

From their monoliths and tombs

Their claws grate heavily against

The ancient marbled ruins


I hear their sinister laughter

Echo through the starlit night

I see their shifting shapes and shadows

Sweeping through the isles


Creeping through the cemetery

Passing by the burial mounds

The wind carries ghastly laments

Whispering their depraved sounds


Peering through the cobwebs

And the twisted branches of the trees

Stumbling across the demonic rites

On the night of a Samhain feast


Scaled Sins tear at my skin

Passing me through many hands

Taking me and taunting me

Preparing their torturous plans


Skulls litter their lair

Alongside rats and broken bones

No matter how loud my screams resound

I cannot surpass their moans


The candles are snuffed at once

With a final tempestuous blow

They clamber with their cobwebbed toes

Into their abode below


Sacrificed to Devils

I see their festive fires light

Frightening figures of fervent Evil

Ushering my demise


Congregated Demons

With red eyes stare right through me

Chanting dark and twisted words

At I, the Samhain feast...


...I, the Samhain feast!

Hide Lyrics

Show Lyrics

Midnight chimes ring out again

Beckoning the twisted nightmares to descend

Upon me and deep into my mind

To prey upon stray rays of hope left dying inside...


My gothic heart cries to be set free

From darkness (my mistress), and her reverie

I yearn to feel pure rays upon my skin

To forget the brooding shadow brewing sin...


Somewhere I know you hold the key

The sacred prose, the words to set me free


Wolves cry unto the moon outside

Calling their brethren to take my life

Will you help bring about my demise

As they tear my flesh and feast on me tonight?


My gothic heart cries to be released

Before darkness reaches out her hand to me

Will she take me deep into the night

To forget the love, the torch that burnt so bright?

Show Lyrics

The wind has blown so cold since her demise

Howling through winter skies

Hanging onto the thin threads left inside

He yearns to give her life

In the corners of his study (and his mind)

The answers he will find

Chasing dragons in excess he pines

For her...

He adores her dress and slowly drifts away

As a profound change and altered state he takes


Stalking in the night long shadows pave

For her safe passage to the prey

Unwitting "poor hoars" reeking of high pay

Who would miss them in any case?

In dark corners kept for sinful embrace

Each night his knife inscribes

His signature, a gothic font engraved

In them...

He discards the dress and dons a mask of pain

Shocked and in awe as his heart begins to race


Locked away he swears to wrong his rites

Each a blood drenched sacrifice

With a potion to bring them back to spite

And free him of the guilt knotting inside

In the corners of his study (and his mind)

The answers he will find

To unlock the secret formula of life

For them...

He abhors the dress with vehement disdain

Yet the Ripper's ruby kiss will rise to strike again!


At the toll of twelve he slips into attire

(Dressed to kill)

Fully risen and peaked, brimming desire

Veiled by cheap frills

This femme fatale prances deep into the night

Unaware of the crowd behind

Assembling on the horizon with vengeance on their minds

For him...

They cast his husk upon a stake then spark a flame

Engulfed in fire, ablaze, the Ripper's ruby kiss is tamed

Show Lyrics

Through mist veiled night she comes to me

Dressed in furs with eyes of grief

"Destiny!" she barks at me

Through flesh torn fresh from the throats of fiends


"Those like me whom upon night feed

On flights of lust and debauchery"

Is this the nature of the beast you seek?

- silence -

She is lost to me...


I see the darkness in your eyes

The sullen tears welling up inside

The fury of the beast you try to hide

Will be unleashed tonight


I fear the hope in you has died

Too late my dear to reconcile

Your rage like the glowing moon will rise

Reveal your Lycanthropic guise

Arise...


Bathed in blood you pounce upon your prey

With snarling fangs and jagged claws

I see perfection in swift decay

Waged in war you falter in reverie

With longing eyes and primal sighs

I wish for you to stay with me

And rid your mind of the impending prophecy

You are not what you wish, but what you are

Beyond the beast there beats a frail heart...


Deep within you always knew the truth

Behind those (Autumnal) eyes where sorrow blooms

You bare your fangs at me tonight

Will you take my life? Or will you decline?


Will you take a chance and see it through?

Or take the path of Loup Garou?

I feel your spirit rise as with the moon

Will you see sense? Or red in hatred's hues?


I'll ease your metamorphosis

Bearer of the light, your nemesis

Resist the passion in our veins

The silver lining still remains


The night is young, the hate is strong

In you the fallacy that longs

To be released from deep inside

Reveal your Lycanthropic guise

Arise...

Show Lyrics

I've never known a girl like you before

Now just like in a song from days of yore

Here you come a knocking, knocking at my door

And I've never met a girl like you before


You give me just a taste so I want more

Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw

Now you've got me crawling, sprawled on the floor

And I've never known a girl like you before


You've made me acknowledge the Devil in me

I hope to God I'm talking metaphorically

Hope that I'm talking allegorically

Know that I'm talking about the way I feel


And I've never known a girl like you before

Never, never, never, never

I've never met a girl like you before...

Show Lyrics

Spectral shadows shift

About the dying land below

Flowing fabrications from

Forty thousand thoughts ago


Creations crawling constantly

Across credence's court

Melding more with time

My murky mind meanders on


Blissfully beyond the border

Beckoned by bestial fiends

Watchful over a world where once

We would sate our needs


The dreams they seem to twist and weave

Together tethered thoughts

From lust to dusk, to harvest moons

And an Angel midst a storm


Reflections of the past

Illuminated by the stars

Distorted by the ripples

And ever destined for the dark


Reckless and enraged

The intricate path we paved

Disregarded like wilted flowers

Left to rot upon a grave


The long days and lonely nights

Waiting for seas to part

And lead the way through misty veils

To rest within Your arms


The longing and the throbbing pulse

Revives this sunken heart

And bleeds the red and impassioned blood

That keeps us tied as one


Passing time with those once pined

Proving even pure passion pales

When greeted with the graceful gait

Of Gorgeous, Love untamed


Heaving from Her Heaven’s scent

My hastening heartbeat

Yearns to sink twin puncture wound

Deep into Her throat


But plagued by these troubled dreams

The light begins to wane

The antithesis of my crisis

As these nightmares never end


Deeper do they delve

With their deviant Devil dance

With songs for Steel and Samhain feast

And tales of an epic romance

Hide Lyrics

Show Lyrics

The faltering flame, it wanes before my eyes

As darkness finally conquers Lady Bastet's Holy shrine

A grey day overhead as her death is mourned

This betrayal of the Gods whom took away her refined form

Will raise the wrath of slaves taken in by her dark charms

Wresting 'twixt the fabrics which kept her men from taking to arms

A Holy war now beckons like a plague upon the Nile

With Deathlike crooked fingers pointing scythes unto the sky

Unto the skies...


Goddess of the flame no longer flickers fervent eyes

The Lady of the East no more with the Sun shall rise

Our perfumed protector, fallen to protect her kin

Shall see her legend carried on a War of Deicidal Sin

In her name and against her will, the powers shall be slain

"For glory!" and "for Egypt!" and to ease the pain

To ease the pain...

Hide Lyrics

Show Lyrics

Her voice still calls to me

Like a distant dream

Buried ‘neath a

Thin veneer I scream


The decadence of “Love”

Took Her away

Her innocence was

Taken to the grave


Rid me of the fire

Burning deep within my soul

You scarred me with these wounds

And let your web of lies unfold


Give me back my passion

Your cold-blooded sacrifice

You raped Her of Her faith in life

And left Her strung to hang that night


Her jewelled eyes

Still glisten in the gloom

Moistened from Her

Begging mercy of you


When the pieces fell

Like shards of dripstone stalagmite

And your poisoned flock

Put to death my only light…


I renounce the love of Light

And the lies proclaimed

Your crusade is unjust

And “Love” is hate’s masquerade


I beg you, find me guilty

Of these occult “crimes”

And slay me in cold-blood

To be by Her side

Hide Lyrics

Show Lyrics

From the vast and deep seas she comes

A moan of ecstasy, elation!

Flooding us with her tidal wave

Causing worldwide devastation


Tsunamis dance over civilised lands

And cobblestone Victorian roads

Across the desolate desert plains

Tearing  through the woodland groves


Her wrath they say could bring the end of days

And catastrophic Armageddon

The path she paves with her abysmal rage

Strays ever left from our salvation

The scrolls they wrote of prophecies in prose

"Atlantis in extremis..." it reads

Of Earth in throes as the ocean flows

Amassing rivers into great seas


The Nile is shamed by it's minuscule frame

The fury of Mother Nature scorned

The Atlantic outsized by the global tidal rise

The Pacific made insipid by dawn

Her cult they say warned us of this day

And cataclysmic Armageddon

The past she laid to rest in ocean graves

As she bows below to thunderous ovation!


"Love" still lies deep beneath the seas

Clutching onto Biblical tales

His dying smile now ravaged and vile

Bloated 'neath the ocean he pales


Yet still holds hope for the faith he chose

A self-belief in self-deceit

That she will reveal her passionate zeal

Three words from her are all he needs


Beneath the waves he waits and grieves

As time passes by and all hope leaves...

Show Lyrics

Blood!


Blood rains from the skies

The day their messiah dies

And Demons hail once again

The Sovereign Evil begins


The scythe digs in as Death is unveiled

Digging deep as they're impaled

The crowds disperse as bodies rip

Sinews are torn as blood runs thick


Darkness cometh...


Darkness cometh...


...Darkness ensues!
