Broken the bones lie scattered
Dimly the torch is lit
There's a snake coiling inside of you
There's a reek that you emit
Reachinh down through the layers of flesh
It grabs you by the throat
Falling down it's hard to breathe
Scornfully dancing on your grave

Would we see you if you came to us?
No never to see your face
Never to find a way back
Would we see you cum nimbus
If you came to us?
No never to see your face
Never to find a way back

Holy
Holy
Holy was the way
She was justified by all her children
But never here to stay
Saturn broods, Saturn knows
He is shown to us
But we mourn
We mourn the death of Sophia

Would we see you if you came to us?
No never to see your face
Never to find a way back

In a world of drought I've got nothing to say
Blindfolded and mute
Night is day
Sanctum
Sanctum
Sanctum
Travel through the maze, navigate well

Would we see you
Would we see you if you came to us?
If you came to us?
If you came, if you cum for us
Never to see your face
No never, never to find a way back
				

On the borders
On the brink of lies
I set off firm in resolve
Down the valley of twilight to search
For something lost
In timeless dusk
Dreams unfold
In the backwood's mist
Of sacred memories untold
Two worlds collide
Disturbance in the flow of time
The sky splits apart
Commands me to surrender
And part from the light

Profound sadness
Humbled and cast down to the ground
As lightning strikes me down
Nightbound

I remember, I remember who we are
And the long night comes with grace
Demons of stone arise
To evoke new birth
While sorrows past
Sinks into the earth

Profound sadness
Humbled and cast down to the ground
As lightning strikes me down
Nightbound

I remember, I remember who we are
And the long night comes with grace

Dying is the first and last
But nothing ever ends
Crying, slipping from this world
To be reborn again
				

In the fullest splendor of the night, we groom
Crescendent fire reflects in her eyes
In a violent burst of power
To the most dreadful zones
I dance with a Goddess
While the earth shakes it grounds
 
Beautiful, severe
Graceful yet fierce
Lady Death, black Madonna
Release your reign of rage upon my soul
 
Devil, digesting
Her loved ones takes time
Destroying my mind, the child of the ancient nights
In the depths of your mystic darkness, I must die
 
Beautiful, severe
Graceful yet fierce
Lady Death, black Madonna
Release your reign of rage upon my soul
				

Dolorous
Lifeless in her gaze
Blank reflection a memory merged with the haze
Rabid, in fervor
You brought it here
From deep pits of woe and dismay
From the chasm that opens in us
In the festering wound where death holds sway

Deep down black rivers flow
Fissures in the stone
Down below
Down there the tide is slow
In eternities alone
Down below

It brought us here to this shadowy place
Where there's naught to do pray
Out of time's the time
Fallen from grace
The bells chime
To carry my curse away

Deep down black rivers flow
Fissures in the stone
Down below
Down there the tide is slow
In eternities alone
Down below
				

[Instrumental]
				

Our beating hearts
Drive us down
Down to the deepest foundation of life
In nature's womb
Creation's ground, in chaos
Where the secret key of the all lies concealed

Blessed darkness
Shadow of earth
Lost and abandoned
By our time
Your secret ground
Your sacred ground
Ever reaching down

What is secretly perceived is made clear
My hand is but a tool of another farther located sphere
The chthonic spirit's wailing
Beckons from to the other side
From the bridge of dark somber realms
To the world of man

Blessed darkness
Shadow of earth
Lost and abandoned
By our time
Your secret ground
Your sacred ground
Ever reaching down
				

Shining starlike
Luminous like a ghost
Homeward bound
Back through the deeps and out
Translucent skin so pale and cold
This image reflects the doubt
But time itself is told

In the hollows deep and wide in the depths forever more
I'll bewail you and all of those before

Your place is here in all the things foretold

Forever remember, never to forget
Those tears of quartz, perpetual
Chrysolite, jasper and agate
But time itself is ol

In the hollows deep and wide in the depths forever more
I'll bewail you and all of those before
Lacrimosa
Sancta mater dolorosa
Black wings of death unfold

Reunited and returned
To the black womb of the abyss
Back in time
Back to the shadowy lands of old
				

Ailing cries
Astray in time
Concrescence
The burning essence
The end summons
The four corners of our souls
The Mother
A bridge to the Other
March into the mandala
The World, the eternal whole
Concrescence
				

Gliding through the phantom landscape
The place forlorn of hope
I saw her standing there, pallid in skin
Lifeless and ready to elope
Closing in on her like a shadow sweeping
I bowed and I took her by the hand
Under the starless sky
Awake but sleeping
Grievously seduced by the damned
Enter your final hour
Feel the cold, the demon's touch
The cosmic order now profoundly disturbed
In a moment's over shadowing of the light

Here be dragons
Here be death
Here be the sombre that have felt the Devil's breath
Don't you hear the distant howling of the wolf?

Death comes slow to you eternally
Over oceans of time inexorably
'Cause you'll feel, you'll feel the power
For the blood is the life
Undead
Unhallowed
Unclean

Here be dragons
Here be death
Here be the sombre that have felt the Devil's breath
Here be dragons
Here be death
Here be the sombre that have felt the Devil's breath
Don't you hear the distant howling of the wolf?
				

[Instrumental]
				

I'll venture far, I'll reach down to my soul tonight
Through the soil, a journey through dark and light
Black bile, flames flicker like lightning

I hear the dead howl
I hear them screaming at the sundown of the world
They crawl - will they stay or will they come back?

Ephemeral soundscapes, everlasting beauty and despair
Spirits slipping out from my dreams
Ephemeral landscapes, melancholy lingers in the air
Nostalgia spilling forth from my dreams

My mind is the staircase
I'm going up and beyond, I'm falling down
Black pools, I travel through time

Bordering on the edges of insanity
The time is up, the time is gone, it's infinity
Will I stay or will I come back?

Hierophany
A temple from below
It's the magic that I know

Eucharist and rebirth
A blessing from the goddess herself
Awakening the shadows of my self
				

Blessed be the hands whose touch is fire
Blessed be a death that takes you higher
Whatever your faith is, that verily is you
The crack in the skull, the knife that cuts you through

Holy bosom, sacred space
Chthonic powers, descending grace 
Supreme Mother to the orphans of god
In the shadow lands of the world your deities abound

Nebulae swirl like dust by your lotus feet
The above contained within, the whole complete
Dweller of invisible landscapes of blood and bone
Omniscent, immanent, present and unknown

Holy bosom, sacred space
Chthonic powers, descending grace 
Supreme Mother to the orphans of god
In the shadow lands of the world your deities abound

Blessed be the hands whose touch is fire
Blessed be a death that takes you higher
In awe we stand of The Motherhood of God!
In awe we stand of The Motherhood of God!

Holy bosom, sacred space
Chthonic powers, descending grace 
Supreme Mother to the orphans of god
In the shadow lands of the world your deities abound
				

In Barren landscapes - Parched with thirst
In Woods at Night - And Streams by Day
Her Hollow Voice - Sings through the Mist
To Lure you Out - Into the Wild
Creature of Beauty - A Darkness she Hides
To take you Out - Where the Devil Rides

"Beware - beware of her bright hair
And the strange dress that glitters there
Many a young man she beguileth
Smiles winningly on youthful face
But woe to him whom she embraces"
- Johan Wolfgang von Goethe

She Stains your Soul - With Sin after Sin
Marks your Soul - Under the Skin
A Terror Rises - From Deep Within
A Muted Scream - In Her Eyes Gleam
In a Distant Dream...

A Curse for the Few - That call her Name
A Curse for you - That seek Her out
Remember this Tale - Forget not Her Name
The Gates of Death - Will Open for You...

Beckoning 
The children of the Night
The spirits of the undead
An the lesser lights

Now the time has come to reach out
We must heed their calls
When Strange Gateways Beckon

Open up to what there is and what might be
In the end nothing is as it seems
The strangest dreams hide right in front of our eyes

Now the time has come to reach out
We must heed their calls
When Strange Gateways Beckon

We stand before a passage
Something strange and profound
And we need to let go
Let ourselves fall through the ground
An give in to the gateways
				

The presence
The dweller I must strike down
From where I stand
My shadow
On the doorstep we shall meet again
The one who stands guard before the gate

Oh the horror, by dread I'm seized
The terror of my dreams released
I die and die yet again
On my way... towards my fate
The last of ends

The end of the tunnel 
I see
A faint glow far away
Calling me

I must squeeze myself through this narrowness
Towards the other side
Striving
Angst and a sudden empowerment
And I am through

Oh by horror I am unleashed
The terror of my dreams released
I die and die yet again
On my way towards my fate
The last of ends
