The Thing that should not Be* 6:03 THE FLAME OF WRATH Thou taught me love and suffer and pain My doubtful hope and eke my hot desire With shameful look to shadow and refrain Thy smiling grace converted straight to ire The kisses of thine lips without feelings Thine embraces so emotionless Thou made love a shameful and wretched thing The flame of wrath shall on the fall Graciously thou delighted me Obsequious I adored thee But yet I concealed my arousal I saw thee mourn but fared not Heard thou not my wail As I confessed my love In the remains of my putrefied mind I'm probing for alleviation Vainly trying to release This passion that engulfs me My lust thriving beyond Can I elude this need Chained in eternal darkness With a torn in my heart I cling to thee my beauty Still so close but yet apart I yearn for thine seduction With desire I ache Let my passion enswathe thee Thine heart I'll take Thine deceitful enticing temptation Inexcusable havoc Hear me now as I declare I shall quell thee My lust thriving beyond Can I elude this need As I reveal my clandestine deceit My urge of virulence increases Thine eyes shines of depravation The flame of wrath shall on thee fall Darkness be over thee Angels to beckon thee True eternal passion An eternal torment FOREVER Way up in the mighty mountains Deep into the woods We are gathered and we are back At last the night is ours Tonight our shadows dancing In the light of a fire This night is to be remembered This night we'll free our souls Tonight we are all together Tonight we all leave together When the darkness falls we are on our way Tonight we are all together Tonight we'll leave together This is our dream forever Now we are leaving In the mighty woods I wonder Through the trees thou can see my shadow By the cold wind on my skin I behold my throne for thee my sorrow Now the symphony plays my song My voice thou hear in the night I will never leave for no one else in my life And now we are up together And soon we'll dance forever Sing my choir let this night be remembered Now my angels sing for the darkness Forever dancing in this cold winternight PANDEMONIUM Weak, O yes so weak The angels have lost their grace Darkness embraces the earth So gracious deserving deep admiration The ray of light slowly ceases As the darkness brawny increases Darkness enshrouds the sky Swirling shadows obscurely emerges Forcing the angels to capitulate Inviting the pandemonium to initiate A brawny conquest over the twilight The Gods desperately roars In shadows span the day's concede Forcing the world to yield A Seraph with broken wings Realize that the end is near As he watches the twilight of the Gods In a divine warfare Dark perversive powers he witness Crushing divine hands A Seraph closes its eyes And alters to sand Weak, O yes so weak The world has lost its faith Darkness bequeaths the sky Consuming all the chaos In dreamless quietus the night awaits Angels ethereal the darkness satiates A Seraph with broken wings Realize that the end is near As he watches the twilight of the Gods In a divine warfare Dark perversive powers he witness Crushing divine hands A Seraph closes its eyes And alters to sand Darkness enshrouds the sky Swirling shadows appears Forcing angels to decline Inviting chaos and fear Darkness embraces the world So atrociously deserving admiration Impelling mankind to capitulate Inviting the pandemonium to initiate PARTIAL INSANITY Suspended into my sanctuary In despair I am concealing Nothing can ever appease My dark demons dwelling Within my inner self Partial insanity Thine mind in disorder So fierce and haunting Thine regrets ye history Haunted by thine emotions Leaving the suffering and agony Upon thy dreadful path Thine longing for death So powerful without escape I used to feel safe In the realm I did create Now I am all alone and cold All my integrity has vanished Replaced with all the darkness That's crawling inside I realize that I had failed Pain, death, and deceit Entrapped in a realm of insanity Now living in a constant fear In a lack of meaningless vision That slowly disclosed my void My mind in disorder So fierce and haunting My regrets ye history Haunted by thine emotions Leaving the suffering and agony Upon my dreadful path My longing for death so strong So powerful without escape Thine mind in disorder So fierce and haunting Thine regrets ye history Haunted by thine emotions Leaving the suffering and agony Upon thy dreadful path Thine longing for death So powerful without escape My conscious like a cloud Of evil beyond compare Helpless to its burning wrath Enslaved to its need A neverending labyrinth Of chaos, hate and grief PERPETUAL DESOLATION Behind my blissful eyes A desolate soul conceals Finally I venture to defy Thine arcane vigour I shall quell thee my foe Eternal damnation shall Tumble o'er thee Decayed thou lay enlanced with sin The serpents embraces thine pale body As thine extinction slowly emerges Thou yell thy cry of agony Malicious I fetter thee awaiting thine rigor mortis The Daemons of shallow will infest thine obscene soul My detest against thee impregnable of thine prayers Passionate I shall await thine demise Behind my blissful eyes a furious soul reveals Thine soul in eternal torment A shallow cist is now thine realm In putrefaction thou shall repent As I return to my sole amenity For eternal Allegiance NEBULA QUEEN In thine dark mournful eyes I see captivity in thy eyes Obscurity enswathes this temptress The moonlight shines in ye eyes And far beyond we are alone Dancing in the silhouettes of mystery As the twilight arrives And the stars are shining bright I will take thee to my cave My cave of love and hate The gloomy temptress appears My void filled with temptation Whispering as thou reveal thine origin Thrust me thou said Fear me not I relinquished my soul Cause thy name was temptation And far beyond we are alone Dancing in the silhouettes of mystery As the twilight arrives And the stars are shining bright I will take thee to my cave My cave of love and hate In the murk and misty twilight Ye may hear her screams in the night Far beyond the realm of nowhere She lives in aeon Come follow thy fantasy Go where thy fate leads My life in ruins My love for thee Taking o'er my life THE MOURNFUL EUPHONY As thou await for the embrace of the poudrins Thou hear the roaring of a stormy wind Thou feel a gelid shiver deep within As thou wonder what will this winter bring The specters of winter are rising Under the pale north star Mist benights the horizon Cold and arcane it appears Hearken thy mournful euphony When wintry tempest so furious sweep Sounds so majestic, a symphony So enchanting a deep sonorous grief Carry me O'mighty winter To my desolate realm Where I shall narrate my tale of woe My creed my unseemliness The northern light above the murky skies Enchanting me it's so divine As the winter nights slowly enlarges Snow conceals it's wither'd leaves I'm thy winter fire Embrace thee with desire Always surrounding thee And enswathing thee Yet it shall bloom The midwinter storm That compels The landscape to deform Embellishing in The enchanting twilight As the master of winter Evinces his might Carry me O'mighty winter To my desolate realm Where I shall narrate my tale of woe My creed my unseemliness The poudrins embraced my cold realm So arcane but yet so gracious It emerged in solemn splendour So alluring and beyond divine A TORMENTED SOUL My own little world I hide away I feel no pain I hide away Never to talk And never to walk no more This is my fate this is my choice I have ruined your life Never to talk And never to walk no more I've played like a fool This is my life I take it all back Never to talk And never to walk no more I vanish through the night I travel through my life I am sinking in the earth Never to talk and never to walk no more In the shadows of a tormented soul There conceals a murky threshold Eldritch phantasm reveals The yearning for infinitude invades My beloved tremble in fear My detest against thee who's a plaguer Finally there is peace in thine soul My resurge will reveal ye fate In the misty twilight I appear Invisible I conquer Solely I fade with the winter Solely I reveal thy secrets Infinitude I conceal in thy phantasm Infinitude my phantasm is of thee In my grandeur I proceed my voyage In my grandeur my resurge is of thee My resurge will sway through dimensions My resurge will reflect thine demeanour THE THING THAT SHOULD NOT BE Messenger of Fear in sight Dark
