The great sun sinks dragging all knowledge down Unhallowed chants of the enemy now rise from below Iniquity, my dearest friend, Down and down you help me fall There folly floods over flesh Becoming an entity of horror Shall desolation be the fate of mine? Will future declare me a being of scorn? Yes I have fallen, but only to rise This desolate existence to be lifted beyond skies From dry earth this body came To now in same dust remain In body spirit does dwell Formed and placed in mortal shell I once heard of a place so pure With symphonic winds from each corner of earth An ocean of light, with rainfall of stars Shining waters below be like land under feet Within those ancient waters I will see the face of immortality Then it comes wave after wave and washes over me One thousand years, one thousand voices Are not enough to utter the greatness of what has become From dry earth this body came To now in same dust remain In body spirit does dwell Formed and placed in mortal shell All else is washed away As I am ensorcelled by you oceans of lustre You forest leaves how you dance in midwinter air You meadows of tranquility Each hour brings forth new wonder And you stars of night scattered across the sky The tale you tell shall live beyond all generations

A forest of stars falls from the darkened sky The bottomless hourglass is now to be unturned All life now feels the cold embrace of the ever falling snow As death drinks the darkness of mortality The crystal waters, the flowing river of life Falls freely from above calling all to silence The sun shines no more Cleaned are the forlorn The perpetual eclipse of these life forms I now see with eyes open wide This life of vanity but a fading shadow As darkness now unfolds The curse of decay floods over our life As death reigns still we endure this life of pain This esoteric catharsis shall endure until The everlasting light consumes the depths of my despair I stand in awe and wonder Before the greatness of nature The great unknown will soon die As I reach out for immortality Woe to the man who fears the unknown The curse of decay floods over our lives As death reigns still we endure this life of pain Time seems to be slowing down A new era has embraced this one This desolate winter hath passed The blossoms of spring share the song of new life

You have within your grasp he who hath carved his own crown With the glory of all death Wielding the power of destruction, with a darkened sceptre of lies Eyes of raven darkness shed tears of despair No sympathy to be shown From any creature who walks this earth From none who walk And a piercing scream of hatred Shall force it's way from his mouth It will echo throughout these unholy catacombs Until the end of all time The oracles chosen by the ancient ones Pronounce darkness in tongue of the runes That have been carved into blackened orbs That now reveal the fate of all A dark haze arises in the distance Sulphur fills the clouded skies As his kingdom becomes ruins He will, however, reign once more Before his ilk hath passed away All you hate seated on a throne of snakes And the signet ring will find itself In the burning lake of fire Sealed to the searing finger of scorn That will command no more I behold the awakening moon As the spiritual realms are torn The sky filled with crimson and black Like ink spilled on a weary canvas The line hath ended the blood sinks into These burning desert sands Seven rulers shall reign this day The powers that govern passed into a new hand Condemned to walk within The shadow of death Where the lost spirits roam A horrific display of glory Eternity’s key buried deep Where it shall never be found And victory shall reign Long ago in the early years fear of these times did dwell In the minds of all, all with eyes to see and now that this day has come sorrow shall fall Upon the souls of the condemned Upon those who walk in the shadows

As the moonlight unveils A path that leads into the night The way hidden from all mankind It is now time, to venture into a new realm All I have become is but ashes and dust Flowing free in the winds unwanted As this day passes away and as time slowly fades This undying memory shall haunt you forever more Life is fading away with the cold winter winds 
As this dying season screams for the end To reach our time, for the unhallowed cries of death To pierce the freezing winter skies that cover this place Now I wish for my life to simply pass me by 
Forsaken, now fear and pain is all I have left Forever tortured by the chains of wrath As the frozen winds curse all the earth I feel I will soon wither away Inception of all, the birth of great universe O Author of Life, bring an end to this creation “Life shall fade away with these winter winds” 
All I am fades away I am cast out of this realm Where I shall, now dwell forever more As the earth consumes this body 
A new darkness has been unleashed upon our land As the fragments of time that held the age together Have shattered and faded A new age has been born once more

The everlasting winter has settled upon our lands As our demise falls upon us The fury of the earth cries out As all begins to perish and wither Victory comes with this eternal haze And covers these plains of blood The sun burns out as unceasing darkness Becomes our death as we embrace our end The foul beasts of the earth Speak the tongue of man To pronounce the end The ancient scrolls reveal the path each spirit must venture An inscription so pure brings terror Eternal doom and condemnation as fear grips the nameless ones And the ancient choirs guide their souls The end is here At the hands of the evil And the inscription shall roar And tremble throughout spiritual realms Victory has finally come to destroy The unhallowed beings As our world has seen it’s end All that has been known as truth Will be spoken out as slander Carved into the weapons of death Are the unholy names of wrath Blood woven amidst robes of black Cover these beings of ancient wrath Vermilion seeps in deep These beings glow with glory Cleansed from this infirmity Which had flooded over our lives The bringer of destruction, the destroyer of worlds Shall reign forevermore, within a tomb of despair Our end has come Our wretched lives undone “Ancient knowledge and wisdom woven into creation Was veiled from those carnal beings of destruction Their souls cling to the dust like these bones cling to my flesh The Author of Life shall bring all to an end Cleansing has fallen, upon these loathsome creatures O crimson streams hemmed within mortal souls Find written, deepest poetry of old Flow with radiance, caress the sight Post Tenebras lux, Out of Darkness… Light” The earth has faded as the universe dissolves Time itself has shattered and falls As our inevitable end has captured us Finality grasps each spirit The waves of misery Wash over the accursed bringer of death

I will utter dark sayings of old Things that we have heard and known When man man did follow Dark clouds and fiery light Woe worth the hour that of womb I came Long I declare “accursed be my name ”
O how my path leads me on Through affliction and grief I say to the mountains “cover me”, to the hills “fall on I” For sick and wretched I walk, now to myself I must die Now great lament be harken and regret standeth strong For with radiant darkness such depravity had shone Fast bound in chains I lay Death brooded darkly o'er me Tormented night and day I came forth in iniquity; Deep and deeper still I fell, Life had become a living hell So firmly evil possessed me You dragged my flesh before searing light Black screams of loathing are on my tongue This sickness eats away at my core As I cleave to this life, it has been taken away Blind leading blind To be swallowed by endless pit To feed the earth with little worth Forever under skies moonlit Escape did I from fate so wretched From great doom I am protected Immortality is one with me Engraved in stone for eternity Death has been swallowed up in victory
