Blood Rites 05:55
Let there not be found among you Anyone who immolates His son or daughter In the fire Nor a fortuneteller, soothsayer Charmer, diviner Or caster of spells Nor the one who consults With ghosts and spirits or seeks the oracle From the dead

When the night falls, she turns weightless Heeled to crush their frail romances Answering her sordid call Skies above the medieval town Is her soft and endless playground She's the best but she plays alone Bridge of blood, vault of abyss Stealing lives in a silver mist Profane miracles unseen Coven's leader, a dark queen Scream now again Run for the sanctuary unknown We want your crown, we'll take it all Of everlasting evil Scream now again Haunted through centuries unshown All we can do is rise up our hands And dance with the Necromancer! A lover's fate - he's falling down One leaf is landing on the grave A gliding shadow tells a story Of a coffin sealed with nails Bridge of blood, vault of abyss Stealing lives in a silver mist Profane miracles unseen Coven's leader, a dark queen Scream now again, Run for the sanctuary unknown We want your crown, we'll take it all Of everlasting evil Dream now again, That freedom will prevail it all All we can do is rise up our hands and dance With the necromancer All we can do is pull out our blades And ask for the very last Dance!

Come forth and gaze upon the flame Eternal flame where all sights unite Scarring pain, conflicted spirit Memories of magic and might Three tolls, three tolls Three silver bell tolls Like thunder they shake the ground Daggered moon on a veil of night Like scar right to my mind Hands that drag me through fields from my visions Bringing me branches like flowers Strings of human hair, mortal screams Lullabies for me River stained with reflections Painted with crimson shades in morning And I taste this wine of decay Rise with my pain, Angelus Mori! Fear my name, hear my song And don't lay me down, Dress me in fire, In oldest shine No they won't change my hate, won't break my crown Let my soul echo in winds of distance

Battleground dressed in ashes I'm searching for my vengeance Waking from paralyze Bring rose to your altar Memories breaking my knees I curse back through poetries Kneeling under the Moon Silent and proud in doom! Won't you release My soul from the hourglass Oh, set me free The painter of my scars Don't let me fall Into oblivion Turn into stone Orb of dominion! Why can't you see that you need to repeat All of mistakes, one love never made? And tower will save a prey of forest queen Like my reflection, you trap me again: "Path of your life branching under my feet This is your curse - you waited for it Now hear my voice howling over the lake Here is your heart, now watch it break!'" Won't you release My soul from the hourglass Oh set me free You, Painter of my scars Don't let me fall Into oblivion Turn into stone Orb of dominion.

Castle Death 08:22
I've been expecting you, my lord Listen to the welcoming sounds of the night! Where all my shadows gather mourning my dead heart That drowned in oceans of time! I've been expecting you my lord of grace and might Another life I've kept in silence And in this castle stabbing Heaven from the Earth For you my spears will now be rising! Inside my eyes embers rise Inside this soul wisdom dies I never wanted to become Just one more of your grieving gods Priests and saviours, leave throne tonight Find a way, gracefully lose this fight Priests and saviours, make me fear once again Crucifix that's burning in your hands Welcome to Castle of death and betrayal Home of the violent, our portrayal Fight me and startle in my embrace Destined to never Leave this place They come to me, Pour me their warm blood I cover them with gold, Baptize in mud They come to me, fear for their life and cry Oh, how it must be glorious to die ! Priests and saviours, leave throne tonight Find a way, gracefully lose this fight Priests and saviours, make me fear once again Crucifix that's burning in your hands Priests and saviours, leave throne tonight Find a way, gracefully lose this fight Priests and saviors, make me feel once again Kneel before countess of Castle Death!

MWC 07:57
Night fell behind Seven stars aligned We are pacing among stones and will Never leave the way Their eyes will shut Their arms will open wide Indulge this color of bones It's almost bright as a new day On the softened ground we stand Closing circle with our hands Hollow trees resemble our cloaks Tell me, will you be the one Who will light the candle and Tell me, are you worth of this force? Desire leaves no space for the silence We'll rise above Your bareness opens door to my violence I'll eat your soul Desire leaves no space for the silence This flesh is yours Kiss dagger and kneel down under moonlight I'll take it all Shadows are dancing around poplar's tree Berths on the veil of the night Serenity covers your face in your sleep, Chains hold you tight! We meet tonight Moon Worshipping Cult Impregnated with darkness, inside and out Tell us that you want to find Ivory Tower, hidden land Tell us that you're worth Of this force Desire leaves no space for the silence We'll rise above Your bareness opens door to my violence I'll eat your soul Desire leaves no space for the silence This flesh is yours Kiss dagger and kneel down under moonlight I'll eat your soul Fly higher, oh the whitest of all birds Silent and strong It's rising on the line of horizon Our Silver dawn Fly higher, oh the whitest of all birds Silent and strong It's rising on the line of horizon Our Silver dawn!

They told me I was mortal that I will turn to ashes and my remains will be eaten by gods Sucking my body essence feasting on primal fear turning my veins into weeds of the swamp They called me Silent Altar table of all abstains spreading the dirt admiring beauty of stains But then I felt my soul, body become one part I felt my blood returning back to the heart! I am the lace of veins and dusk and shame Brother of serpents crawling high I am the face of veins and dusk and pride all of their hate keeps me safe inside They told me I was mortal that I was never precious and that the ground will bury me to lashes Their thoughts turn in my screams abuse my kindest dreams The secret war is lost, is this end I fear? On your face it will rain again but highest flame it will open your eyes don't allow them to breathe your pain make them drown! They told me I was mortal that I will turn to ashes and in their world only swamps will prevail Serpents adore my limbs and I wear them like crown Through void and horrors of night I will sail! I am the lace of veins and dusk and shame Brother of serpents crawling high I am the lace of veins and dusk and pride all of their hate keeps me safe inside I am the face of veins and lust and pain brother of serpents, rising high I am the face of veins and dust and pride All of my faith keeps me safe Inside!

Tonight I will fly through black skies My soul so free, barren to primal form Thunder web being my guide, In cold air my eyes closed Releasing all memories Let them fall in depths of old seas Sirens seem so small from here I don't care that they're calling me Tonight I will dive through black skies Higher than anyone ever before Lightnings my bloodstream In cold air my eyes stare Releasing all memories Let them fall in depths of old seas All the beauty ever seen Was embroidered to your skin! I must have become a raven Have no burden but my Rib cage is always so tight And isle, stone isle, Is a bed for me One big epitaph With my name on it I must have become a raven I can't leave before it dawns And in morning I am gone, I'm gone, alone I must have become - A raven, I will let it go He wrote sadness will last forever But I promise you, Nevermore Nevermore.
