Show Lyrics

The symbol of Death reflected in her eyes

Feelings of remorse suggest a shattered mind

Remembering how she let the flame expire

Watching the line drawn deep beneath the mire


The flames grow higher illuminating her lies

But for one last time her true beauty shines

Under the shadow of her wicker tomb

She seeks reconcilement with the one she slew...


Once the back is turned the deed is done

As ceremonial pyres light beneath the setting sun

Time grows short as the Pagan chants arise

Emotionless she stands with only Karma by her side


The waning sun barters with the night

As the embers below begin to rise

The lick of flames drown out her cries

Until only ashes blow into the mourning skies...

Show Lyrics

Rising from deep slumber

Losing the crystal lake

Shattered dreams like fallen stars

Disappear as I awake


Howls in the distance

Beckon reality

Somewhere a siren whispers

Calling out to me...


Dreams are lost 'twixt life and sleep

Spiralling away with speed

Tears are shed into the night

Endless and without peace


She always hears and soothes the fears

With passionate embrace

Take me now my silent guide

Lead me through the blackest veil


Always shall I follow

Her radiance through the gloom

And never will I cease

Gazing upon the harvest moon


No matter if the shadows consume

Everything of worth

As the light fades once again

And stars shine upon the earth


She will rise and take her place

Ascending to the throne

The regal jewel of the night

Come to take me home


Always shall I follow

Gazing upon the harvest moon


Come enlighten me

Lend me your noble gallantry

Bestow me with your ancient gift

To always penetrate the darkest mist

This is my only wish...


Arriving at the precipice

Peering into the sea below

Gazing out beyond the shore

Bathing in her glow


Her face fades into the twilight mist

Whispering of her leave

Departing as my weary lids close

Drifting into endless sleep

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!

Show Lyrics

Bleakness churning in the dark

The skies above me dismal and stark

Betraying the earth with icy rain

Washing away all but the searing pain


This midwinter eve

Before the beauty of nature took her leave

Forsaking every moment of the past

To the barren blizzard of a stone-cold heart


Ice-cold blasts burning my skin

Cannot compare to the aching within

Foolishly searching through the drift

To find the way back to that perfect wish


That midwinter eve

Before the beauty of nature took her leave

Forsaking every moment of the past

To the barren blizzard of a stone-cold heart


Weakness showing in the cracks

The never-ending winter recedes back

Thawing the untainted world beneath

From a thousand years of nightmarish sleep


Those midwinter eves

When the beauty of nature took her leave

Forsaking every moment of our past

For the emptiness of a broken heart

...my heart
