Necromantia / Acherontas
...For the Temple of the Serpent Skull...
Necromantia - Magnum arcanum
A plate of psychic links
of cruelty and violence
of kidness and sympathy
shaping the unformed
Infinite human sceptomorhes
constructing the nine hells
forming the seven heavens
struggling for peseverance
"Connecting and decoding
re-vitalize, re-animate
feeding and absorbing
transforming and becoming"
Through ophidian riddles
and draconian scriptures
space bending to pure will
the magnum opus is revealed
Listen (to) the heartbeat of the beast
bath yourself in sang real
unlock the gates of parallel
and let the universe unfold
Unite the paradox with logic
blend the real with fantasy
where science and magic collide
the truth absorbs the lie
Through the rite of passage
amidst the rain of mercy
the blessing of the serpent queen
will strengthen your perception
"Let the darkness prevail
so the light may shine"
(Tiamat, queen of the cosmos,
primordial, matter, rise and form)
Necromantia - People Of The Sea
At a forgotten seashore
Of black rocks and gray soil
There it stands, the village
Of the people of the sea
Where the sun shines no more
Where the seagulls fly no more
The children of dragon
Breed their race in silence
In houses of stone they live
Disturbing, grim and cold
Cold like their hearts and flesh
Cold like the eyes of their god
People of the sea
Between two words they live
Phantoms of the water
A nightmare coming from the deep
Descendants of a race
Beyond time, beyond mankind
Half fish, half men, half gods
Their Gorgon queen awaits the dawn
Watching with their fishy eyes
Killing with their fish-like hands
Using the mortal men as cells
Weaving their domination
So brave sailors mark my words
If fate leads you at their shore
Fear not to die by your own hand
Or else they will have your soul
Lyrics in plain text format
