Rest In Oblivion

Rest In Oblivion
A lifetime with sword in my hand
And I grow weary
I'm yearning for my promised land
A dream of peace
I fought for valour and spoil
What did it bring me?
More bloodshed, murder and toil
Never ceasing
Visions of wonder take my hand
I yearn for an ending to this torment
A valkyrie lures me with her song
Oh, how I long to take this journey
To rest in oblivion
I blink the sweat from my brow
My wounds are stinging
I ache from the weight of my crown
To stand relieved
My enemy stands grim and tall
A wight unyielding
My path to ancestral halls
Opens before me
Visions of wonder take my hand
I yearn for an ending to this torment
A Valkyrie lures me with her song
Oh how I long to take this journey
To rest in oblivion
My sword lies waiting before
My soul elating
My key to what lies beyond
These battlefields
I'm thirsty for my grim reward
My horn of plenty
Another sun sets on the world
When I must rise for...
War
Now I lie
Evermore
I am bound
In sleep
Now
I remain
A nameless king
Dream of the day
I will wake

The Bargain

The Bargain
He watches all the time
He is the ever prying
Reaching ever high
He has a needful mind
When he makes his move
You're walking to his groove
Across the burning land
Playing to his hand
You let your mind give in
And let the darkness in
Slave to higher powers
Slave to higher powers...
Cast into the pool
The dark side of the rune
Let him take you in
Let him take you in...
To the other side
The darkest recess of mind
He'll show you secrets within
He'll show you secrets within...
Give in to the vices of sin
Let the light bringer in
Reach for loftier goals
All he asks is your soul
Give in to the vices of sin
Let the light bringer in
Reach for loftier goals
All he asks is your soul
Cast your fear aside
Let him take a ride
Far from heavens shore
Far from heavens shore...
Beside your infernal guide
Ever bending to pride
You were forewarned
You were forewarned...
You wont believe your eyes
Behold the jewelled skies
What lies in store?
What lies in store?
Whore to the breaker of dreams
All does not appear as it seems
Slave to material things
You will fear the sound of his wings
Whore to the breaker of dreams
Slave to material things
You will fear the sound of his wings
You will fear the sound of his wings...
Give in to the vices of sin
Let the light bringer in
Reach for loftier goals
All he asks is your soul
Give in to the vices of sin
Let the light bringer in
Reach for loftier goals
All he asks is your soul
Your soul...

Euphoria

Euphoria
Far flung days
In a haze euphoric
Torn from my daze
In my glazed narcotic
Bathed in amber morn
Golden as the dawn
Freeing wordless screams
Fractured dreams in amber
Reading further meaning
Through the portents hanging
Silently I cry
Fires dance before my eyes
Flail, tattered sail
Carry me in slumber
Screaming, dreaming
Visions drag me under
Bear me along
Siren sing me home
Cold under bone
I'm alone in darkness
Sinking into sleep
Drowning deep in amber
Euphoria remains
Burning in my veins

Gallows Tree

Gallows Tree
The weight of time lies upon me
I am falling through eternity
I have borne the scorn of those elite
I am hemmed in by eternity
The crashing tide washes o'er me
A crushing weight to smother me
No haven shore to bring relief
This journey brings me to my end
Time to die
Time to face the end
And join the ever clear
Embrace the sky
Dancing ever free
In death's release
Lift me high
For the world to see
On this dying tree
Fate hangs nigh
Calling out to me
Gallows tree
An uncertain haze lies across my path
I am cast away by spite and wrath
A soul consigned to wander on
To fate uncertain, and ever scorned
Inside I hide from the frowning stares
A shield of mind, unbreakable
Entombed in thought and grim disdain
For love, for life, to the end
This is my calling
To take my final journey
I am forsaken
To walk among the fallen
Condemned, to Satan
Upon the tree of Tyburn
Punishment, eternal
This is my solemn burden
Begone, Messiah
Into the ever after
Leave me Pariah
To the underworld
I will never repent
Nor will I bow in regret
My sin is my burden
This is my cross to bear
My guide to where the fallen
Lie released from torment
Beyond the gallows calling
The weight of time lies upon me
I am falling through eternity
I have borne the scorn of those elite
I am hemmed in by eternity
Inside I hide from the frowning stares
A shield of mind, unbreakable
Entombed in thought and grim disdain
For love, for life, to the end
Time to die
Time to face the end
And join the ever clear
Embrace the sky
Dancing ever free
In death's release
Lift me high
For the world to see
On this dying tree
Fate hangs nigh
Calling out to me
Gallows tree

Queen of Ancient Rites

Queen of Ancient Rites.
She is the night
Born of desire and delight
She rides the skies
Dressed in darkest midnight
She calls the rites
To stand beside the altar
Her torches light
Upon her sacrifice
She is the master of our destiny
She is the queen of ancient rites
Calling on the dark and never seen
To bewitch our earthly kind
She holds the knife
High above the ancient altar
She calls to light
The skies above with thunder
She wields the blade
Forged from steel of ancient makers
She cuts the binds
Between the Ell's and this world
Oh, ancient one
Call on your Gods
Queen of desire
And pagan fire
Oh, ancient one
Call on your Gods
Queen of desire
And pagan fire
Oh, firstborn woman
Bereft of God
Born of desire
And pagan fire
Oh, firstborn woman
Bereft of God
Born of desire
And pagan fire
She is the master of our destiny
She is the queen of ancient rites
Calling on the dark and never seen
To bewitch our earthly kind
She is the master of our destiny
She is the queen of ancient rites
Calling on the dark and never seen
To bewitch our earthly kind
Our earthly kind...

Servant of Samael

Servant of Samael
A mist is slowly rising
Upon the battlefield
A blackened figure calls me
From the killing field
Is my time upon me
Or am I called to be
A servant of the fallen
For all eternity
Reaching out
Take my hand
Pull me in
To the void
My unrest
Shall be seen
As my curse
Servant of Samil
On the edge of madness
I stand among the dead
Facing my accuser
First among the dead
Pleading for attonement
Falling to my knees
I am raised in darkness
I pledge allegiency
Angel of genocide
Prey upon, those who died
Servant of Samael
Soldier's Soul
Sword of Hell
Angel of genocide
Prey upon, those who died
Servant of Samael
Soldier's Soul
Sword of Hell
Endless marching on
Through these killing fields
Recruiting souls
For my lord to weild
My heart is won
I am Satan-steeled
Your servant calls
The dead must yield
Endless marching on
Through these killing fields
Recruiting souls
For my lord to weild
My heart is won
I am Satan-steeled
Your servant calls
The dead must yield
I am standing shrouded
Upon the killing field
A blackend figure calling
To the fallen shields
On the edge of madness
Call to leave the dead
To be clad is shadow
For all eternity
Angel of genocide
Prey upon, those who died
Servant of Samael
Soldier's Soul
Sword of Hell
Angel of genocide
Prey upon, those who died
Servant of Samael
Soldier's Soul
Sword of Hell

Ashes Over Water

Ashes Over Water.
In my mind, my inner eye
I find it hard, to see the light
In a world, of endless night
Lost in shadow, lost in time
Endless is my pain
Sombre is my tale
Thorns around my heart
Scales upon my eyes
From this prison, where I reside
Cast from favor, and from sight
Let these embers, be my grave
And the winds, upon the lake
Endless is my pain
Sombre is my tale
Thorns around my heart
Scales upon my eyes
Tear me asunder
In the pyre upon the plain
I lie to meet the flames
My redemption lies in wait
Cast me from this earthly plane
to the northern wind
Ashes over water
Let my epitaph now sing
Endless is my pain
Sombre is my tale
Thorns around my heart
Scales upon my eyes
Cast me to the flames
Sing me to the pyre
Sombre is my tale
Ashes embers die
Cast me to the flames
Ashes to the breeze
Borne on to my fate
Fade to memory
