The Vision Bleak The Wolves Go Hunt Their Prey 1. Amala & Kamala [Instrumental] 2. She-Wolf A gold-horned moon hung high - Its heart began to beat With the fire of its eye no ember could compete Wolf-fiend, Mannwolf, Loup Garoux Olden Legend born anew? Human nature - wolven heart Who seized that fire? By what black art? Its sinews twisted fury, desire's its portray And the senses readily receive the scent of prey The shepherds fear its madness and their lambs do flee For they know a secret: She is the wolf - The wolf is she! Roaming the night In splendour profound Revel in delight By darkness abound Graceful thy cruelty Ruthless the claw Crowned with a beauty That none can withdraw A gold-horned moon hung high - her blood began to flow Ordained to be a mortal sin - phenomenon from head to toe Jewel-crowned huntress - mother of all What secret spell did her enthral? Human nature - wolf at heart Who seized that fire? Whose work of art? Roaming the night In splendour profound Revel in delight By darkness abound Graceful thy cruelty Ruthless the claw Crowned with a beauty That none can withdraw A gold-horned moon hung high - her heart began to beat with the fire of her eyes no ember could compete Her sinews twisted fury - desire's her portray and her senses readily receive the scent of prey She is the wolf - the wolf is she! 3. The Demon Of The Mire In the murk of the firs and depth of the ponds a nameless horror did swell From whence it came and whither it shall go not the wisest man could tell Just one shuttered light through the darkness shines a lonesome hut at the fetid moor... It is filled with fright and with hopeless whines from a boy, young and pure Wind howls - evil prowls at the chamber door Fog rolls - dead souls in the dark galore Wood crack - pitch black at the chamber door Swamps brew - clouds spew in the dark galore It is the demon of the mire, he shall rest fornevermore Whom he calls and haunts by ill desire, he shall rest fornevermore Through his realms he leads his ghostly choir, he shall rest fornevermore It is the demon of the mire, he shall rest fornevermore The boy it did consume, forever he will dwell in the malice of his doom... Wind howls - evil prowls at the chamber door Fog rolls - dead souls in the dark galore Wood crack - pitch black at the chamber door Swamps brew - clouds spew in the dark galore It is the demon of the mire, he shall rest fornevermore Whom he calls and haunts by ill desire, he shall rest fornevermore Through his realms he leads his ghostly choir, he shall rest fornevermore It is the demon of the mire, he shall rest fornevermore 4. Introduction ["The Black Pharaoh Trilogy" Part 1] Hail! The Black Pharaoh! 5. Part I: The Shining Trapezohedron ["The Black Pharaoh Trilogy" Part 2] An ancient shining crystal of non-euclidian form Made of no earthly matter in a primal cosmic storm It flew amongst the chaos in a time before the light Until it reached these planes in the foulest of all nights To the ice we call Antarctic it was brought and treasured there and the secret of Lemuria could not withstand its stare It had sunken with Atlantis to the deepest of the sea And now the greed of Khem's merchants at last sold it to me Shine! The starry light may Shine! So wisdom shall be mine from all space and time Shine! O haunter of the dark My soul shall now be thine Thy knowledge must be mine I gazed into its window and saw the three lobed burning eye, The titan blur on black wings - Now I am it and it is I ! Black Pharaoh they call me though Nephren Ka's my name And amongst the folk of the Nile I spread my poison reign 6. Part II: The Vault Of Nephren-Ka ["The Black Pharaoh Trilogy" Part 3] In a valley of no sound, buried under desert ground, enclosed by night without one star lies the vault of Nephren-Ka Where isolation dies alone, an ancient deathless does throne Shun by the light of Amun-Ra, that is the vault of Nephren-Ka It calls... And calls... This Nether-Netherworld is crowned by rotten sorcery abound Where on old bones the ghoul-fiends gnaw In the vault of Nephren-Ka And the unsound fingers still grasp a crystal by its will Bedded on an ill altar The remains of Nephren-Ka 7. The Eldrich Beguilement In the veil of the night I wandered about at the bole of a tree it did light I deemed it a stone at first glance, no doubt something in me was lured by its sight First feeble and dim but then it did shine in the shade and the colours of gold Thither I hurried, no longer I strolled Methought it was something divine Firmly I grasped and now i beheld No precious did someone bequeath, I tossed it from me and terribly yelled ...a skull with a golden teeth! First feeble and dim but then it did shine in the shade and the colours of gold That thing of aghast it rolled and it rolled till it stopped at one place of malign Led by a dream by light deceived Light-hearted I strolled through the night But what the horror of that ghastly thing? It is just a burial site... God may know why I frantically graved, where that death's head did cover the ground - but what did I see! Unsound and depraved, my remains and their burial mound But the horror of that ghastly thing did show me my burial site 8. Evil Is Of Old Date From the ice of the poles to the dry lands in the south It was written on old scrolls or has been spread by word of mouth In the forests of the old world, it crawled among the mist and in the desert dunes, its legends could persist Evil is of old date You should learn To set ablaze its fire... Let it burn! Evil is of old date Let us praise Its glaring myth we set a ablaze! In primordial bogs and mires it dwelled without form but still it is far older it is the dark's firstborn What to some is evil to others is a strive for glory, inspiration - our impetus of life 9.
