Mare Ebony Tower 1. Flaming Black Zenith From infernal depths we rise To behold the greatest heights Through the fires of purification We gaze upon its summit Burn and destroy what we leave behind! From midnight waters Vibrant and profound We dreams the way Of stone and rock We have chained the sun! We have fixed the stars! 2. Blood Across the Firmament Come, sister! Lend me thy hand As we kneel before the veil Of the tabernacle above And the circle below Two shining stars Sharing their light Sing, sister! And let our voices Be our song of sword Cutting through the dark Of Chaos And Old Night Painting the heavens With blood and love 3. These Fountains of Darkness Hail to Thee! Who in the sunless world can see And soweth the seeds To the tree of adversary Whose roots extend to depths unknown And whose branches Reach past the godly sky Past ancient stars and eternal light Now rise and shine! O brethren of mine And drink from these fountains of darkness And thread with me these untrodden paths Through hail and fire Through blood and ash We are thy flowering leaves Sapping the divine light! 4. Nightbound Burn in me mighty North Star! Drape my path in Thy stellar light From Thine astral throne above Bestow Thy secrets upon me Come, come malignant Night Unfold Thy blackest canvas That I may draw the way Into Thy bitter heart And in my most ecstatic frenzy With a razor of northern black light May stoke and stir - whirl and whip Whilst riding upon Thy back, O Night! For I am the quenchless flame That reaps and burns At the end of the world And forevermore! 5. Labyrinth of Dying Stars O cold and hungry Night Bathe me in Thy sulphurous light! Through the prism of Thy womb And the endless darkness of Thy tomb Wolf of sublunar supremacy From the abysses unknown I summon Thee! To devour this shell of earthly clay Let spirit be beast, and flesh be prey O Mother of Darkness I drift through Thy heavens black Beyond the dying stars Never to look back O cold and hungry Night I am Thy reaping sword! Beyond books and religion Beyond mind and thought Beyond life and death In dark pristine wilderness Lieth the true altar of Satan!
