Hooded Menace
Lachrymose Monuments of Obscuration
1. Twilight Passages
instrumental
2. Pale Masquerade
The rites of eternal life
Profane, refuse to die
A clandestine, sinister daze
In the Knights Templar way
Punished by the fool
Mortals without a clue
Burned their eyes, sent straight to hell
Left for the crows
Rotting through centuries
Stone lids removed by ease
Beyond logic known to man
Now darkness unfolds
Written in the dusk
Curses, ensanguined vows
A rotten gallop, the march of doom
Thе dark army grows
Through the violet mist
Windswept rеmains of time
Revenge comes riding high
On human blood
Sick with undreamt power
Uncreation eternalised
Soulless, cobwebbed serenades
And it always ends in screams
The black fortress of sorrows
Sad ruins for desires
No hiding from the wretched
Blind usurpers of life
The rites of eternal life
Profane, refuse to die
A clandestine, sinister haze
In the Knights Templar way
Sick with undreamt power
Uncreation eternalised
Soulless, cob-webbed serenades
And it always ends in screams
Godless, strange practises
Encoffined voyage in the deep
Dark dimensions behind the veil
Of the clandestine dream
3. Portrait Without a Face
The portrait without
A face hung in darkness and cold
Strokes bleeding endless eternal
Phantasmal odyssey into the night
The depraved forced into submission
Sworn to the nightside's odd creations
Blood the true consolation
Sucked into the realm of sweet damnation
Exalted unlife
The black wedding of the daughters of dusk
The bride of the crimson nightfall
Succumbed to the dreams desolate
The depraved forced into submission
Sworn to the nightside's odd creations
Blood the true consolation
Sucked into the realm of sweet damnation
Your sanctuary has been ravaged
Your tranquility disturbed
Your shrine is stained and corrupted
Gentle death you shall live through me
Sundown
Night falls with a dagger in hand
Moonrise
Tides turn with laughter
The portrait without
A face hung in darkness and cold
Strokes bleeding endless eternal
Phantasmal odyssey into the night
The depraved forced into submission
Sworn to the nightside's odd creations
Blood the true consolation
Sucked into the realm of sweet damnation
4. Daughters of Lingering Pain
Atrophy of time
In this endless lust
The life eternal
Enshrouded in dust
Cycle unbroken
And the nights stay still
The fear of gate
Of another return
A gentle gleam
And the scent of rust
The scarlet tears
Of decay and disgust
The veins wide open
With the hint of blood
Return into dream
Of nocturnal demise
Nocturnal demise
Envy of death
It’s fragile serenity
Tranquil slumber in the shadows of gods
The sea of darkness
Embrace of velvet tombs
Daughters of lingering pain
Dreary conviction
Of gore devotee
The weight of enthronement
Obtruded on me
Atrophy of time
In this endless lust
The life eternal
Enshrouded in dust
Cycle unbroken
And the nights stay still
The twilight calls
For another return
Forever doomed…
Envy of death
It’s fragile serenity
Tranquil slumber in the shadows of gods
The sea of darkness
Embrace of velvet tombs
Daughters of lingering pain
5. Lugubrious Dance
Serpentine meanderings
Of the chords sacrilegious
Otherworldliness
In the shreds of reality
Where the veils are obscured
And shadows drag
Can’t recognize
The true self of yours
In the backwards world
From the vanished future
The gaze of terror
The mask of misery
Invert the oceans
Where the moonlight slept
Float in darkness
Into the lifeless blue
The endless tongues of decadence
Caress these ruins
Now abandoned by the world
Dreams dancing dead
The harvest of delusions
Carrion visions, strange lands
The crumbling bridge of illusions
Passing bells´ disharmony
Serpentine meanderings
Of the chords sacrilegious
Otherworldliness
In the shreds of reality
Where the veils are obscured
And shadows drag
Can’t recognize
The true self of yours
The endless tongues of decadence
Caress these ruins
Now abandoned by the world
Dreams dancing dead
A grotesque song of decadence
Gnawing your bones
Left abandoned by the world
In a lugubrious dance
6. Save a Prayer (Duran Duran cover)
You saw me standing by the wall
Corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your windowsill
All alone ain't much fun, so you're looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes and where to go
Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it till the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now
Save it till the morning after
Feel the breeze deep on the inside
Look you down into your well
If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance like all dreamers, you can't find another way
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day
Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it till the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now
Save it till the morning after
Save it till the morning after
Save it till the morning after
Pretty looking road
I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why, I'll promise, melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand
But we can call it paradise
Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it till the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now
Save it till the morning after
Save it till the morning after
Save it till the morning after
Save it till the morning after
Save it till the morning after
Save a prayer till the morning after
Save a prayer till the morning after
Save a prayer till the morning after
Save a prayer till the morning after
Save a prayer till the morning after
Save a prayer till the morning after
7. Into Haunted Oblivion
In bloody frames
Cuts that reek of the dark
Anguish takes form
Torn from the shadows
Of burial mounds
A sickening facade
Moulding the ghastly breeze
Patterns sewn by murky hands
Shape fleshlike structures
Invigorate
Where blindings swarms
Of oblivion arise
Splintered are the wails of the dead
Like tendons cold
The unearthed twines connect
Reach out to the debris of denial
As I gaze into the shattered mirror
Its fragments like cobwebs of ice
Stab me with visions disfigured
Carry my fate on death-lament winds
Spirits cold as desert nights host my journey
My twilight requiem through the spider silk gates
Surreal tombs in lunar amber swallow me deeper
Into the golden mosaic of unfathomed dreams
I hear the murmurs of the gods frostfallen
Resonate in utter darkness
I bathe in the velvet lava from the heavens
Watch my body melt into the dusk´s ethereal labyrinths
The graves yawn voracious
Blind to the sunlight rays
Sculpted from the shadows
Of a myriad of the doomed
The black deluge of gloom
Pain scintillates
With excretions sublime
In brutal disarray
Out of the boundaries
Of the vermin clasp
Pureness regained
Tracing the yarn of tears
Patterns sewn by murky hands
Shape fleshlike structures
Invigorate
Where gruesome swarms
Of redemption arise
Splintered are the wails of the dead
Like tendons cold
The unearthed twines connect
Dissolve into haunted oblivion unblessed
