INTO THE CATACOMB ABYSS
Rushing to the shadows as the daylight takes its hold
Portals and secrets hide deep within these walls
Passageways reveal the arcane mysteries untold
Circle of candles arranged before the throne
O, into the great beyond!
Reality torn asunder
Dost thou hear the wailing voices of the dead?
left to bleed upon the altar!
Sacrament eternal in this symphony of night
Blasphemy of Necrosteel, deception of the light
Sunken dominion sworn unto thine own self
Sealed in the depths of the catacomb abyss
O, into the great beyond!
Reality torn asunder
Dost thou hear the wailing voices of the dead?
left to bleed upon the altar!
Foreboding dreams
A promise deceased
and fading headlong now into eternity
I bless the blade
with the blood of the slain
and join the Spirits of the Mist
in the Catacomb Abyss!
Luna sanctum!
Morte aeterna!
Crypta vetus!
Into The Catacomb Abyss!!!
NEVER SEE THE SUN AGAIN
The wyverns have set you free
Up to the skies, thou art enshrined
I consecrate unto thee
A sacrifice, of blood divine
Washed away in your tears
Exalting your darkest dreams
The oceans are calling
The stained glass is shattered
As moonlight embraces me
To never see the sun again
Elixir of ages
The communion, it has begun
A blessing of tainted
Bestowed upon the wicked ones
One never to remain
within the realm of day
In shadows to reform
Thine will be done
ETERNAL NIGHT
In my dreams I’ve found you
Just before waking and sent back to facing the curse of dawn
Behind the starlight veil
Silent it falls to the floor of the bethel
A destiny dead now sleeps within your heart
In the bleak nightfall
Shrouded in silence and guided by lust it sang to you
And the wind was cold
Bound by salvation, sworn by the blade
and sealed in this monument of
stone... in the clandestine world of the trees
Love… now is vanished and far from our reach
Gone…is the spell to invoke your release
aaaaaahhhhh...
“He giveth his beloved sleep... Death is but a portal to eternal life.”
O, shorelines are burning!
Let it go
a dream of the impossible
Daylight is fading
So let it slip away
and live to see another day
Midnight is calling
as we take into the skies
and leave them all to die
No despair, say your prayers
I'll take you somewhere
far from here
VIAL OF HOLY WATER FOUND IN AN ANCIENT, COBWEB-LADEN MAUSOLEUM
Subterranean altar, a shrine of eternal decay
A spiral staircase, a lantern lighting the way
Twist and turn through your dreams,
Cast of marble and steel
Where the moulds and mildews stay
Etched in structures of bone
A mausoleum of stone
Hidden artifacts and ancient scrolls
Seven million years!
The iron-gate swings wide, as night devours the day
Where the spirits reside, the crystals glow in the cave
Branches sway with the wind,
howling deep from within
darkened chambers, it’s unexplained
Creep and crawl through the night
Magic reveals the vial
Look ye not into the demon’s eye
Seven million years!
LIGHTING THE MUMMY ON FIRE
Deep within the pyramid's tomb
bandaged corpse, bringer of doom
it's covered with dust, it's breaking the spell
Rise from your grave
Lighting the mummy on fire!
The curse has returned
the mummy is wakened again
The torch lights the ancient
hallways of death
The coffin explodes
with dust and moths
the moonlight and shadows
forever obscure the night
The heiroglyphics are telling the tale
there's only one way to send it to hell
Lighting the mummy on fire!
See it reduced to ashes!
Lighting the mummy on fire!
Now the curse is broken!
Ashes to ashes, mummy to mummy
Funeral pyre
Lighting the mummy on fire!
Descending deeper and deeper down into the tomb
Shadow figures and darkness and poison mushrooms
The mummy comes towards you
its curse has sealed your doom
the mummy bandages
are soaked in formaldahyde too
Releasing fumes into the air
you hallucinate, you don't have a prayer
Lighting the mummy on fire!
See it reduced to ashes!
Lighting the mummy on fire!
Now the curse is broken!
Ashes to ashes, mummy to mummy
Funeral pyre
Lighting the mummy on fire!
Use the torch
Use the candle
Use the lantern
Use the matches
Use the flare
Use a fire spell
Breaking the curse of your deepest desires
Six ways of lighting the mummy on fire...
BURN!
REALM OF THE BEHOLDER
The Watcher has followed us
beyond the forest and the stream
And in the acrid air, when the light has disappeared
I'll be the last thing that you'll see
The portal is alive
burning bright from the inside
The Earth on which you dwell
an angel sent to Hell
and from the pathways thou shalt seek
Something calls you to the river
Beckoning us to the water
Promises of the Deceiver
entities are growing nearer
Vengeance on the ones who stole her
Into coffins they are lowered
to the Realm Of The Beholder
Inscriptions misguided us
and from the grave there's no return
The magic breaks right through,
and the mirror of your doom
reveals a memory turned to stone
Beyond the razor's edge
torn to shreds, they're dead again
And in the final hour
a soul to be devoured
awaits the judgment of The Gods
Something calls you to the river
Beckoning us to the water
Promises of the Deceiver
entities are growing nearer
Vengeance on the ones who stole her
Into coffins they are lowered
to the Realm Of The Beholder
Cave mortem!
Ulciscar letum!
Monstrum magicae!
Umore gravis!
Oh, the odyssey is gone
Destroyed are the landscapes
of your dreams
A FOREST OF GRAVESTONES
Here today, dead tomorrow
in this life I've only borrowed
Somehow the stars are aligned
amidst the altars and shrines
and I have always known
That when the prophecy ends
and when you draw your last breath
you won't be alone
To be the opulent one
in the grave, in the grave
Could be the end of us all
Gone away, gone away
Born to live, live to suffer
Torn apart, from one another
Though I planned of this day
How could I leave you this way
You will never know
And all the ghosts that I've seen
have sworn allegiance to me
but I have let them down
To be the opulent one
in the grave, in the grave
Could be the end of us all
Gone away, gone away
