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

I crept my way through the thicket leaves

And the pouring rain, you marked the trail

And in your face I saw the pain of a thousand frays

I left your gaze and met the skies

In hues of grey, the clouds exhaled

Your trance-like gait held me in sway

As I followed you led the way (I led the way)

You danced with the strongest winds tempest

My Angel midst the storm (amidst the storm)

I heard you sing a song for me

That I would swear (sounded wolves to call)

A howl to the moon and how she shone

Her brightest light (upon our path)

Golden with romance we strolled our dance

Deep into the night (as we fade to white)

And at last I could see your hand reaching out to me

But alas this dream was not to be

You floated away on the breeze (Fade away)

Higher you swept becoming a ghost above the trees... (Fade to white)

(Take me)

I crept my way through the graveyard gates

In the pouring rain (to where I lay)

And no longer in your face could I see the pain

Of your final days (snuffing out the flame)

I left in a haze, would we meet in the skies

Those hues of grey? (where we will remain)

In trance-like state, hold me and sway

Take me away (take me away)

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...

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?

"Good things come to those who crave

Passionate moments in warm embrace

Always awaiting the next congregation

Overwhelmed by this undying elation..."

Her darkened shadow and pallid skin

I caught a glimpse of through forest limbs

The twisted boughs and whistling winds

I traced her tracks deeper still

Steeper I clambered beyond danker woods

Until her eyes I met 'neath shadowed hood

"Take my hand and come with me"

So her hand I took, though cautiously

We ran through thickets, I lost control

She took my body and stole my soul

By gnawing fangs deep into my throat

This evening forever ours to own

I watched her glide, her wondrous gait

My deepest lust she would gladly sate

We lay together by the moonlit lake

Until dawn approached us to seal our fate

The sunrise... seared my veins...

Full of fire... set ablaze...

To her castle we fled in throes

We crept in darkness and shadow

Into her coffin our bodies heaved

Until the sunlight had duly ceased

I watched dusk settle into night

We kissed under the pale moonlight

I graced her skin with my lips

From nape to navel my solemn kiss...

"I walk the land of dreams

Take my hand and follow me

Through forever with it's shining light

To see the wonders of this coming night..."

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!
