Drowning The Light From The Abyss 1. From Old Mountains To Lost Seas [Instrumental] 2. Drink The Blood Of The Sun (Varcolaci Awakens) As a thread is spun in the darkness by a forgotten witch a bridge between planes and a portal through the cosmos unfolds! In the skin of a wolf On the wings of a ghost Drain the essence of the moon Drink the blood of the sun As the heavenly bodies drip from the crimson thirst and through the severed astral veil the Varcolaci returns! Light a red candle before they close Inhale the jasmine smoke Let it all melt away and take flight, to their dismay Absorb the feeling of pride inside, before leaving your earthly side Whether in the form of a beautiful flowing phantom or a ghastly wraith Open your wolvish maw and drain the world of it's cursed soul! 3. Below The Horizon He Stalks Injecting venom into the stream where the well thinking pigs drink As a serpent coiled around its prey Filling the blood stream with deathly toxin Tightening, restricting as the veins blacken Yet entranced by Apeps eyes To swallow the river of life and to bring chaos and strife Just below the horizon he stalks Waiting at dusk his whispers forked Then come dawn to strike the sun again Encircling the world in an eternal flame And in the end, our destiny like scales to be shed As the tail is released and we fall towards oblivion The light dies as worlds collide enraptured by the forbidden As the tale is told the strong crawl out from the darkest hole The serpent once again locks its jaws regeneration to behold. 4. From The Abyss A swirling tempest above tearing asunder the clouds The fabric of existence torn and ripped yet immortal As i stood at the edge of time I watched a world in decline Creating light through Lucifers eye and to escape from deaths reaping scythe And from the abyss we emerge Heavy hearted and yearning For that dawn that will never come We are the nocturnal children, nights unholy sons A new uprising of dark power For we have tasted the end But a Promethean flame is lit in the heart and mind To embrace the new tide. 5. Secrets Of The Darkest Spells A starry endless night of grief An eternal sea of mindless sheep A void in life one can't deny Longing for the heavens to cry A spirit corroded and corrupted Not bound to your morals and codes Sleepless nights studying the dark arts To forge a path in hate and death To know the secrets of the darkest spells To master the knowledge of the ancient ones To embrace the curse of endless nights To spit in the face of god and to set the heavens ablaze Turning their light to ashes The only phoenix from these ruins - death! A now reborn world free and unfettered A once lost beauty returns and flourishes Religious heads on pikes Their fall will not be mourned. 6. Cursed Voyage Through the morning fog leaving the port behind A cursed voyage sets sail Across the seven seas she goes towards the unknown Through mist and tidal fury A watery tomb enthroned Those on deck yearn for promised shores In gallows below Exhausted to the core And from the rocks a melody mocks as they hear the sirens call Luring sailors to their deaths are these angelic whores The captain screams as the harpies gleam proud of their devilish work A dozen men, drowned and submerged, and then a dozen more Escaping one peril only leads to another and soon they became one with the fog Lost, forgotten,and cursed for eternity. 7. Apparitions In The Distant Woodlands [Instrumental] 8. Rise! Under Satans Mighty Horns And from a ruined kingdom we RISE! As disciples of the shadows - we rise Storming the gates of religious filth - their demise Like an epidemic of utter darkness - we rise Being swept away by holocaust winds - their holy lies And through darkness we find enlightenment Like an epidemic of utter darkness - we rise Being swept away in black smoke - their holy lies A plague of blackness In desert sands filth of the land and nailed to the cross The king of lies whom we despise his end is not a loss For its never to late to change our fate and rise above the rest For on this hour this empires ours to pass our final test In the darkest night we see true light Under Satans mighty horns the power of our plight. 9. The Return Of Medieval Sorrow In a crumbled city of forgotten dreams and lost hope Overgrown ruins gilded in shadow and cloaked This decaying glory A once prosperous land To the dead hearted They were never my clan The return of medieval sorrow Fortify your own soul Know the power of the flesh Expand your deepest thoughts and drown the weakness We bleed our own path - unto glory We cut the ley lines of the new millennium Fill them from your veins and let the sanguine feed the earth It is now ours! And they will lament! The return of medieval sorrow. 10. Despoiler Of The World We Know I am the spear in the side of christ I am all you fear and spite The flame that ignites your feeble church The crushing defeat that you makes you hurt I am the black smoke in the air I am death and despair The immortal spirit of the past The one who makes you the last Heresy! Bringer of the old cold Heresy! Despoiler of the world we know. 11. Sic Itur Ad Astra Cloaked in the shadows of the dead and robed in the skin of damnation Black sun and black moon The power of will, the power of flesh Ordo ater anguis Luceat lux vestra Sine metu Sic itur ad astra Lux ex tenebris Mors omnibus The standard bearer of plague and lust The illuminated eye opens Luciferi Lux Mea Est Sic itur ad astra 12. The Inverted Ascension The absolute absence of light is not to be found above but below. In a world hidden from our sight beneath the calm surface of the sea. With awe does man look upward to the myriad of stars in the sky. While he trembles in silent fear of the horrors lurking under his feet. Maelstroms in the bottomless depths echo with murmurs of the Ancient Ones. From deep down they call your name tempting you to join them in their realm. Be baptized with the primordial waters let them wash off the stench of humanity. Ascend deeper, and rise farther down, until the darkness and you become One. 13.
