About The Righteous Hand:

The Righteous Hand is a song by Vampyrouss which first appeared on the 2007 demo "Compendium Vampyrica". 


As with most of tracklisting from that demo the song was re-recorded for the 2017 album of the same name "Compendium Vampyrica". It then appeared along with the whole Vampyrouss back catalogue on the "Barely (A)Live Rehearsal" release in 2021.

Slowly as the guests arrived to dance

We embraced, our bodies entwined

Composing our verses under amorous trance

Waltzing in wonder we waited to dine


Her hair flowed free in the midnight breeze

Her body gleamed bright under Diana's beam

At one with the Earth and at peace with her soul

Ritualistic redemption was hers to behold


In darkness they pledged their lives to the cross

And put faith in their texts with all context lost

To align with the crimes and accuse of devilish rites

In the name of "Love" and "Glory" they rode into the storm clad night...


Coldly as the collective espied

A mere glimpse of her glorious figure divine

We made our way to the heart of the dance

A rapturous ovation arose as we arrived


Her mind drifted skyward to reach inner peace

As her body lay motionless she ascended with ease

She felt the embrace of the lunar five-fold kiss

Enrapture her soul and moisten her lips


Under cover of darkness they stalked their prey

Now curled beside a fire the Sinning mistress lay

They charged at once wielding the power of light

In a bout of sheer violence they took her defenceless life...


And there she lay in a shallow grave

Hidden by their shadows in her own blood she bathed

Proudly they stood 'neath the glorious storm

Majestic thunder rumbled, surely a sign from their Lord?


Marked with a cross they swiftly buried their loss

One of their children so needlessly lost

To Witchcraft and sin, those carnal delight

Laid to rest now and cleansed from that terrible blight...


Potently as night drew her veil

Of sleek stormy black skies and their cloud laden trail

The waltz wound down under spell of the wine

A slow grinding gait the throng came in time


Arriving at last at the vast labyrinth estate

Death had left her kiss, such a vile aftertaste

They entered the halls for their heroes return

They slew the Dragon and then watched her burn


They killed for their Lord a blasphemous wench

Returning to find that all truths were bent

Their hosts bore warped faces, snarling fangs and red eyes

The tables now turned it was time to plead for their pious and pitiful lives...
