Necromicon Sightveiler 1. Introduction 2. Gone Below Constantly being punished by his sick father for things he hasn't even done, Vincent spends most of his childhood confined in a dark and rat-infested basement. ===LYRICS=== Father: Now you have committed sins To the great one and me Repent them now, down below Not sorry? Well, you will be Vincent: Father, i beg you, no. Don't make me, please! it's so dark and cold. Shadows come to life down there Father: Save your pleas to the one who might listen When your young heart has been To the brim filled with fear. Vincent: he locks the door behind me Filled with fear, I wait A sound comes from the corner I hide but it's too late Come to us here in the dark..... We haven't been fed since last moon.... You smell so good, here in the dark.... And suppertime for us is soon...... Vincent: They are upon me ''Father, help me please They're feeding on my flesh'' he's thrown away the keys why? What is it That i have done I didn't ask to be born Your only hated son I must become one with the shadows My innocence gone, never one of the boys As i lie in the dark, bleeding inside I seem to remember your emotionless voice Father: Hate is not the right word But of course it can never be love Such feelings are reserved For the great one above Vincent: I see your face before me I feel the burning pain My father, .''once so dear'' Confusion fills my brain The love i should have been given Replaced by hatred so strong Lost in blackened world Don't know what i have done wrong Father: Whenever you do wrong It's my duty to do right Punished you will be Until you see the light Vincent: Why? What is it that i have done I didn't ask to be born Your only hated son 3. Homecomings Alone in this basement, Vincent suddenly senses a presence.... ===LYRICS=== Sightveiler: Rise, child.. Vincent: Father? Sightveiler: Only the father of those innocent and lost. Vincent: Will you show me the way? Sightveiler: Yes... Vincent: At least I have found someone, Someone to be my guide. Screaming defiance to those above, With him by my side. Sightveiler: Ascend the stairs and break that door, Asunder these chains that bind thee. Vincent: I dare not do the things you speak of, he will come and punish me. Sightveiler: Have no fear, we will punish him instead. So severely, he will wish he was dead. Father: Did I say you could come up here from seclusion? It seems pain is the only way you can learn. It's for your own good, I know you understand. If you do not obey us, in hell you will burn. Vincent: No! I will no longer do as you say! My newly found friend will show me the way! Father: Your newly found friend!? Well I see... It seems that the great one has listened to me. Sightveiler: The great one has listened? Could never be... I daresay the dark one is coming for thee. Father: What is this? Who are you? Answer me! What are you? Sightveiler: I am the essence Of thy nightmares come true. Vincent: Suddenly my hands are locked around his neck. I meet his gaze, now so ablaze with fear. Must give in to the hate and darkness inside me, for the years of pain-at last the end is here. Sightveiler: It is now done, the chains are now broken. With this young one, the beast has awoken. 4. The Uprising Feeling like he has awoken from a nightmare, Vincent finds his father dead at his feet. ===LYRICS=== Vincent: This can't really be happening I've shed my fathers blood I'll never come to heaven now Forever damned in the eyes of god Sightveiler: Thy puny godling is nothing to us We who walk paths of our own Now let it grow within thyself The seeds I have already sown Vincent: So I cast of the shrouds of convenience And see the world with eyes unveiled No longer can anyone bar my path The sheep has for too long prevailed If they try to stop me I will make them pay To fear and respect me To rule them all one day Death, war, plague and destruction Behind me on black horses they ride To sweep away all the pitifulness With power and might Yes, with him by my side Father: Can't you see that this is wrong? To rise above yourself? Vincent: Who are you to say this? You thought yourself divine! Father: Well, beyond is a cold grave Nothing matters anymore Vincent: I shall not have to hear you Cause everything is mine Yes I stand so supreme Everyone bleeds for me now Master of all, when I please Nothing I obey, to nothing I bow Sightveiler: My fair boy, thou hast become a man And fearfully they part from thy way Thy name is now forever secured And mankind by your feet at bay Vincent: The questions became the answers Can this be what I wanted back then For the questions I have forgotten now Can I find the way to myself again? 5. Veiled in Crimson Many years pass. Vincent spends his life constantly on the run from the law. The Sightveiler never leaves him. Over the years gaining more and more control over Vincent's actions, and forcing him to randomly kill many innocent people. For Vincent's next victim the Sightveiler has chosen Angelica, a girl said to have psychic powers. As the story continues, Vincent has reached the area where Angelica supposedly lives. ===LYRICS=== Vincent: Yet another shadowed street I've seen them all before Feels like I've spent all my life here With no home, no hope, nor goal Ghostly faces look upon me Dirty beggars that I despise Or perhaps I just envy them Their pointless, but free lives Sightveiler: My boy, soon you can rest Our prey is not far away Behold, here she comes now For the last time, hear me and obey Vincent: An apparition of beauty she is Raven black hair, aloft in the breeze In her eyes the light of an angel She turns to me and I freeze Angelica: Sir, you look in need of a warm meal Please, come join me inside I do not have much, but what I got is for you Please come in and dine by my side Vincent: Strange feelings begging me to let her live Deep inside I know they will fail Still I refuse to see what's real The truth is veiled... in crimson Angelica: You look so troubled I sense that something's wrong Vincent: I'll tell you if you'll listen But my tale is very long Sightveiler: What thinkest thou of? Thy feeble fool! She meaneth nothing And thou art merely my tool Vincent: Quiet, I say I will not hear you For once, leave me be And this poor girl too Angelica: You're no a common man Knew that right from the start You're feeling lost and empty Though you are quite pure at heart Still you bear intentions Which are not of your own How is that possible? Vincent: Well, I am not alone I bear a curse Ruled by my jailor An entity known only as the Sightveiler Sightveiler: I cannot believe what thou art doing Getting caught in a puny mortal's net Well, enjoy this while it lasts For this night is all you get Vincent: The hours pass as we open ourselves While the twilight fills up her room Mesmerized by her beauty and soul A kiss, sealing our tomb Angelica: Your heart is that of kind man Though it has lost all its light Feels like I've known you forever Please stay with me tonight Vincent: Strange feelings begging me to let her live Deep inside I know they will fail Still I refuse to see what's real The truth is veiled... in crimson 6. Endless Agony After making love to Angelica, Vincent falls in a deep sleep. The Sightveiler sees his opportunity and attempts to once again assume command over Vincent, doing this in the element where the entity's powers are the strongest - in Vincent's dreams... ===LYRICS=== Vincent: Night - its grace seduces me I have to face a deadly sleep Where twisted horrors will haunt me He reigns I cannot run, nor can I hide But I won't tell her goodbye And do with her as He wants I feel his claws inside my head They will be there until she's dead His eyes, dead but yet awake Invokes more pain than I can take Slowly Descending Towards Damnation Seduced by night's enchanted grace I'm lost in the nightmare's maze Where twisted horrors still haunt me He reigns I cannot run, nor can I hide But I won't tell her goodbye And do with her as He wants Sightveiler: I might release thee still, but thou must fulfill this one last kill Vincent: No! I cannot kill this girl Sightveiler: As I am the master here, I do not care for what thou holdeth dear Vincent: What have I done to be trapped inside your world? Sightveiler: This beautiful woman will be killed Her pure young blood must be spilled Vincent: No! Feed upon my soul instead! Sightveiler: Do remember that I am thee, Thou wilt do what I want thee to Vincent: You cannot use me when I am dead! I'm free of the night's seducing grasp Where I was told she was the last Where twisted horrors haunted me But he still reigns... I cannot run, nor can I hide I must tell her goodbye And do with her as He wants Goodbye... 7. In Desparation Vincent awakes from his nightmares to find himself alone inside the room. Leaving the house, he soon finds Angelica dancing around a fire in a nearby field. ===LYRICS=== Sightveiler: Thy feelings cannot defeat Thy nocturnal desires to kill She is like all the others Thou giveth, I taketh Shed no tears, thou wilt enjoy it At least for the time Vincent: The sky is filled with stars Embracing the dark She is dancing, around the burning fire The wind blows in her hair Her body moves so slow in this autumn night Sightveiler: What art thou waiting for? Take her life now! Vincent: I approach the girl I'm confused and insane She feels my presence And ending her dance She greets me with a smile So nice but also wild The fire reflects in her eyes So burning and alive Sightveiler: Now thou hast the chance to kill for me If not so kill for thee Thou must now shed her blood for me Her life and soul belongeth to me Vincent: I will not shed blood for you Her life and soul do belong to me I cannot take her life for you This beautiful girl belongs to me Sightveiler: As I am the master her Thy mind and body art controlled by me Now! If thou dost not take her life for me I will for sure take thy life from thee Angelica: His eyes are so kind but somehow I see hate and insanity He doesn't talk at all What does he want from me? What is he thinking about When he stares at me like that? Now he suddenly looks very strange Cruel evil and insane Vincent: My nocturnal powers To shred and to kill Awaken deep inside, furious and wild My mind goes blank And now they are there The memories from back When I was a child I give in to his words Obey them mindlessly Her youthful innocence Will soon be gone To carnal molestation This night will be devoted She will no longer be here with me at dawn 8. Leaving Now As soon as Angelica falls dead to the ground, the Sightveiler leaves Vincent. Realizing what he has done Vincent runs from the scene. And he keeps running until the first light of day. ===LYRICS=== Vincent: I am watching the sun rise And I am watching the skies The scenery changes swiftly Before my eyes The colors all turn to crimson Innocent blood starts to rain Suddenly the sky fills up with faces Faces of the lost ones I have slain Murderer!! I wish I could weep But there are no tears They dried out a long long time ago I realize that I must leave now I cannot stay here, that I know... Then the chanting begins I wonder if I am still dreaming The word they cry is “Murderer” And I can do nothing to stop their screaming I see her face among them But she does not scream She just passes her time in silence With sad eyes she watches me “Murderer!!” I wish I could weep But there are no tears They dried out a long long time ago I realize that I must leave now I cannot stay here, that I know... “Murderer!!” Living has always been painful So why would I fear to die? I was wrong, now I know that I am still able to cry Drifting on... Eternity passes... As I fade away... Then finally I am... Home at last 9. Ever After Angelica: My prince you have followed me here To this place where no mortals may roam But why did you commit this terrible crime And have you now found this your home? Vincent: My sweet one I mentioned a curse I couldn't say more then My tongue was tied My jailor and master Sightveiler called I thought him my saviour I know now he lied Angelica: How could he make you shed my blood? Vincent: To me he was even more than a god Angelica: And then you even slit your own veins Vincent: Yes, but at last I am free from my chains Father: Fool, this is only where your last journey begins You are now standing in the empty courtyard of Hell The Master of Darkness will bring you In soon of the long and painful end no one can tell Vincent: I cannot believe this, will I never rest? All my life slave to this misery and pain The other side I thought would bring me some calm But if your words are true, I killed myself in vain Angelica: A killer you were, but innocent at heart So hold back your tears, his words are lies My forgiveness you have already gained And in some way redemption through your own demise Father: I will never say I forgive him! Angelica: What? It was you who made him begin! Father: Try not to tell me I created a killer! Angelica: You called even his existence a sin! Vincent: His words means nothing to me now Since it seems your heart is mine still Angelica: And also your heart is in my hands So come, let us now go over that hill Vincent: But what is that shape? Can you see it? Angelica: Yes, but I have never seen it before Vincent: Oh no, not again, I know this too well I cannot stand to go through it once more 10. Returning
