Drowning The Light The Serpents Reign 1. The Mark That Lies Beneath [Lyrics by Azgorh] Here Under is the mark that lies beneath the ocean floor riddled with mysteries Black then any night The light of hope and their god not penetrating this deep Preserved in a stone cavern Surrounded by weed and bone This symbol of forgotten aeons this relic of black light Centuries have past since it was lost since the old ways died Forgotten by all but a few and now found again To resurrect this past and haunt the land with malevolence and tyranny Pulled from the water Touching the living which then turns to rot The secret no longer lost Cloaked bearers wield this mark of pain they are of the serpents reign The predator of the lamb Those of the damned who stalk the weak They haunt your sleep The ocean tide is that of blood The mysteries of the deep brought this misery 2. White Tomb Of A Whispering Forest [Lyrics by Azgorh] Footprints entrenched deep in the snow The winds howl and the forest whispers Dark shadows dance across the white ground as the bitter winter takes its tole Echoes through the trees from the night dwellers The silence of death approaches Clawing at the bark...Falling to his knees Nothing to hear his pain but the forest itself The night air filled with sweet agony Bloodshot eyes darting rapidly for any threat or foe None to be seen, but he felt the presence Back to his feet...His heart pounding... In his weakened state he still fights The further he goes the thicker the snow Glaring yellow eyes from the dark cracks in the woods Howls in the distance...Howls of hunger They can smell the fatigue. They can sense the loss His feet collapse from beneath Sense starts to fade in this white tomb Slowly his eyes close as the cold takes over Eternal life through death With no regrets he was not a god fearing man nor a fake idol worshipping man he lived in the same way manner he died... bitter, cold and nurelenting and now he is no more 3. Winter Rain & Tides Of Change [Instrumental] 4. The Nostaliga Of The Old That Runs Through Our Veins [Lyrics by Azgorh] Of another time we stood with pride And honour in our hearts and blood that flowed with nobility.. That blood still runs in our veins The unrecognisable nostalgia of the past A past we didn't live in.. A past we never knew.. Yet somehow we are attached It calls to us and emotes us Feelings that only few can feel This nostalgia is also one of tragedy Loss that the world is how it is That we can never return to times of glory Greed has suffocated this feeling for some Others are surrounded by paranoia or dreams of false grandeur The few who remain strong, honourable and true to themselves continue this fight The past echoes throughout the future Without it we are nothing... To the glory of the old and the dark pull in nature We must stand strong, for our numbers are few and this art cannot die The flame burns on in our blood and in our minds And our hearts filled with pride For the nostalgia of the old that runs through our veins 5. The Birth Of A New Age [Lyrics by Azgorh] Lightning strikes upon the mountain Where dark old rituals take place Sermons of unholy filth and depraved acts in his name for the coming of a new age and his new empire Candles burning through the soft rain Contorted faces surrounding the altar as the witching hour strikes The last candle burns out an unearthly scream with the birth of a new ago Godless cries from the lord of all flies Dark chants continue till dawn he is unearthly spawn The child...baptised in lamb's blood and sigils carved into his body Soon to lead both man and beast... 6. Fields Of Forgotten Melancholy [Instrumental] 7. Unforgotten Treachery [Lyrics by Azgorh] Pain and agony from our wrath Suffering is not enough writhe in torment Your betrayal has not been forgotten Your false ideals and attitudes are not worthy You claim to serve under the master's name You serve for your own selfish game You dog of god Our dedication Our hatred Our intolerance For Satan It reaches to you Look down and see the blood See your end and know why Your support the sub humans we crush You tolerate the degenerates Heil Victory as we will not lose In his honour! 8. Embraced By A Tragic End [Lyrics by Azgorh] I watch the pale winter sky darken Hughes of pale crimson outline the clouds The swell of the ocean and the tide tells the tale of centuries and laying deeply withing the soil the roots of the trees which have seen time come and time go, empires rise and fall The moon and stars light a path across the now black ocean A horizon so distant yet beckoning and a gate to oblivion below Through the desolate baron void I know the tragedy that awaits me... I smile at the thought that one day I will be at one with all this Eternal grief, eternal life and to be in the kingdom of HIS domain The dark pull in nature takes over and I'm taken away The darkness of the night my steed death my companion Embraced by a tragic end No tears for me my friend 9. Wandering Alone And Forgotten Forever [Lyrics by Tortured Soul] The soaring peaks, forgotten by time Alone and desolate in the cold forever The soaring cliffs of suicide Calling me, embracing me Wandering alone and forgotten forever Bitterness brought upon by the ages Following footprints in snow made by warriors long ago Along the frozen path of time into the bitter winds of eternity Across icy seas of sorrow the end is calling me the birds fly south from the freezing shadows Behold the wondrous gift to end ones life 10. Ghosts Of The South [Instrumental]
