Runemagick
Beyond the Cenotaph of Mankind
1. Archaic Magick (After the Red Sun)
Oh, the ancients, those unknown to man
Rising in dimensions beyond
Old necromancy, they speak in riddles
About the meaning of life
And the purpose of death
Of death
Archaic chants
Ancient necromancy
Magick of death
Darkness swallows, everything in sight
Spirits follow, like wings of the night
Black mist, wraps around your soul
Cease to exist, the bells of doom now toll
Archaic magick
You decay in impurity
Desolation reigns, distorted visual realms
Dried-out veins, so darkly overwhelm
Abnormal void, emerges from the beyond
You can't avoid, no life to respond
Archaic magick
You drown in obscurity
The curse of darkness
Unleashed from the abyss
Unknown signs bring death to life
Blood on the sacrificial knife
Spells forgotten since thousands of years
Summoned through astral dark spheres
Old whispers of doom were true
Only the wisdom keepers knew
So the ancients, those who were unknown to man
Rising from dimensions beyond
Old necromancy, they spoke in riddles
About the meaning of death
And the purpose of life
The death
2. Endless Night and Eternal End
Like an ancient, book with no end
And all pages, written in obscurity
Endless night and eternal end
The eternal end of time
Or is there an end after all?
All or nothing, leads us towards death
Endless night and eternal end
The eternal end of time
The truth could be read, for those who knew
The ancient and wise, the chosen few
Endless night and eternal end
The eternal end of time
3. Revocation of Spectral Paths
All visual colors turn into
A pitch-black wasteland
The world known to us is now
Out of hand,
Death is final and grand
Now we are all buried
In dust
The funeral of time is a must
The doom
A most desolate carnal tomb
Revocation of spectral paths
Time's final triumphant aftermath
Revocation of spectral paths
The carnal temple now droughts
Into the oblivion of eternity
The never-ending total dormancy
4. The Storm Rode Beyond the Firmament
The storm, rode beyond the firmament
The epitome, of time and space encirclement
Signs of the storming hunger of darkness
The lifeline passes in flashing curtness
The storm, rode beyond the firmament
Darkified forms, dying stars now descend
Signs of the storming hunger of darkness
The lifeline passes in flashing curtness
Unleash my soul!
Into the storm
In another form
A chaotic swarm
Current time forlorn
Riding the storm
The past is torn
All memories are worn
I am now reborn
Signs of the storming hunger of darkness
Old souls in a swirling dying mess
The death caress
Like a descending requiem of time
Portal access
This path to the dark is mine
5. Nocturnal Deities of Winter
Winter of life, winter of death
Deities come alive, from the shrines
They chant for me, like a call from the tombs
Conjure me free, like ascending fumes
Deities of winter—my body disinter
The deities of unlight, in the darkest winter
They chant for me, like a call from the tombs
Conjure me free, like ascending fumes
Nocturnal deities of winter
My body disinter
All life splinters
Embraced by the Reaper's fingers
6. Beyond the Cenotaph of Mankind
Everything is completely dead, so they now said
Beyond the cenotaph of mankind, we are blind
This is the end of mankind
The cenotaph of mankind
The cenotaph of life, by those undefined
Not of this world...
