Tribulation Down Below 1. The Lament Broken the bones lie scattered Dimly the torch is lit There's a snake coiling inside of you There's a reek that you emit Reachinh down through the layers of flesh It grabs you by the throat Falling down it's hard to breathe Scornfully dancing on your grave Would we see you if you came to us? No never to see your face Never to find a way back Would we see you cum nimbus If you came to us? No never to see your face Never to find a way back Holy Holy Holy was the way She was justified by all her children But never here to stay Saturn broods, Saturn knows He is shown to us But we mourn We mourn the death of Sophia Would we see you if you came to us? No never to see your face Never to find a way back In a world of drought I've got nothing to say Blindfolded and mute Night is day Sanctum Sanctum Sanctum Travel through the maze, navigate well Would we see you Would we see you if you came to us? If you came to us? If you came, if you cum for us Never to see your face No never, never to find a way back 2. Nightbound On the borders On the brink of lies I set off firm in resolve Down the valley of twilight to search For something lost In timeless dusk Dreams unfold In the backwood's mist Of sacred memories untold Two worlds collide Disturbance in the flow of time The sky splits apart Commands me to surrender And part from the light Profound sadness Humbled and cast down to the ground As lightning strikes me down Nightbound I remember, I remember who we are And the long night comes with grace Demons of stone arise To evoke new birth While sorrows past Sinks into the earth Profound sadness Humbled and cast down to the ground As lightning strikes me down Nightbound I remember, I remember who we are And the long night comes with grace Dying is the first and last But nothing ever ends Crying, slipping from this world To be reborn again 3. Lady Death In the moonlit splendor of the night we move Transcendent fire reflects in her eyes In a violent burst of power Through the mass' dreadful sounds I dance with the godess While the earth shakes in its grounds Beautiful and severe Graceful yet fierce Lady Death Black Madonna Release your unbridled rage upon my soul Terrible, majestic Her love runs deep through time Destroy my mind Dear child of the ancient night In the depths of your mystic darkness I must die Beautiful and severe Graceful yet fierce Lady Death Black Madonna Release your unbridled rage upon my soul 4. Subterranea Dolorous Lifeless in her gaze Blank reflection a memory merged with the haze Rabid, in fervor You brought it here From deep pits of woe and dismay From the chasm that opens in us In the festering wound where death holds sway Deep down black rivers flow Fissures in the stone Down below Down there the tide is slow In eternities alone Down below It brought us here to this shadowy place Where there's naught to do pray Out of time's the time Fallen from grace The bells chime To carry my curse away Deep down black rivers flow Fissures in the stone Down below Down there the tide is slow In eternities alone Down below 5. Purgatorio 6. Cries From The Underworld Our beating hearts Drive us down Down to the deepest foundation of life In nature's womb Creation's ground, in chaos Where the secret key of the all lies concealed Blessed darkness Shadow of earth Lost and abandoned By our time Your secret ground Your sacred ground Ever reaching down What is secretly perceived is made clear My hand is but a tool of another farther located sphere The chthonic spirit's wailing Beckons from to the other side From the bridge of dark somber realms To the world of man Blessed darkness Shadow of earth Lost and abandoned By our time Your secret ground Your sacred ground Ever reaching down 7. Lacrimosa Shining starlike Luminous like a ghost Homeward bound Back through the deeps and out Translucent skin so pale and cold This image reflects the doubt But time itself is told In the hollows deep and wide in the depths forever more I'll bewail you and all of those before Your place is here in all the things foretold Forever remember, never to forget Those tears of quartz, perpetual Chrysolite, jasper and agate But time itself is ol In the hollows deep and wide in the depths forever more I'll bewail you and all of those before Lacrimosa Sancta mater dolorosa Black wings of death unfold Reunited and returned To the black womb of the abyss Back in time Back to the shadowy lands of old 8. The World Ailing cries Astray in time Concrescence The burning essence The end summons The four corners of our souls The Mother A bridge to the Other March into the mandala The World, the eternal whole Concrescence 9. Here Be Dragons Gliding through the phantom landscape The place forlorn of hope I saw her standing there, pallid in skin Lifeless and ready to elope Closing in on her like a shadow sweeping I bowed and I took her by the hand Under the starless sky Awake but sleeping Grievously seduced by the damned Enter your final hour Feel the cold, the demon's touch The cosmic order now profoundly disturbed In a moment's over shadowing of the light Here be dragons Here be death Here be the sombre that have felt the Devil's breath Don't you hear the distant howling of the wolf? Death comes slow to you eternally Over oceans of time inexorably 'Cause you'll feel, you'll feel the power For the blood is the life Undead Unhallowed Unclean Here be dragons Here be death Here be the sombre that have felt the Devil's breath Here be dragons Here be death Here be the sombre that have felt the Devil's breath Don't you hear the distant howling of the wolf? 10.
