THE RED KING
04:39
|
|||
|
When the sky weeps flame
And planets are erased
Pestilence is borne upon the creeping mist:
Death a’ stalking in the woods…
From such visions stirred I wake,
To find myself still in the grip
Of searing guilt for what I did:
Salvation is lost for me!
Hiss the winds;
“Exile thyself,
Go forth, seek death,
Flee from all of this!”
There’s a forest shrine
Where healing lies
Believe
You will be crowned the new king
And please the goddess of midnight,
By moonlight,
With crimson offerings…
Sleepless, underneath the oak, the old priest
Craves oblivion
For long years he served as a king,
He’s grown weary of his bleak reign
For he ruled alone
And desolate, a Sphinx,
Keeping secrets deadly…
Descend, blind rage!
In darkness
With cannibal drive
Stab
The feeble life out of him!
Cut and thrust him though,
‘Ere he can scream for help!
“Come child,
Into our cursed embrace”,
Those voices in my head
That lulled my sins to sleep:
“The Goddess loves the culling hand
That thins the herd”
Come, crown me as your king!
Come, crown me as your king!
Prostrate before me!

BERYL EYES
03:50
|
|||
|
A sanguine dew clings to the leaves
‘Neath the hornéd chalice of the moon* -
What madness creeps unseen
Tainting a Red Mist like leprosis
Of the mind:
That searing hate which covets flesh!
Twisted trees
Reach out with sylvan claws
To snuff
Thy soul and sanity!
Black-veiled nymphs emerge
With song on their lips and a crown
To adore their king
In marbled loins:
Their kisses burn like dreams of lust
In venereal haze returned
(and the dawn) Born from moans!
“Take his eyes!
Caresses grow to talons -
Make him see
The wondrous world laying beneath
Beryl Eyes
Replace his pale mortal sight
Even as he screams
(To) Gods deaf to his pleas,
Threatening to tear (τέρ) the veil
(asunder);
Let him see
What lies below…
Night overtaking my sight -
My crescent blade, fly!
Crimson sprays
Anoint my face with the mark
Of death!

WE, THE BONES
04:51
|
|||
|
In the darkness of the labyrinth
We, the bones, that are here
Have so long awaited thee…
In slumber, deep
We’re dead but dreaming still
And whispering…
With beryl eyes The visions come,
In mortal coils, all burning white:
Compelling my descent in
The penumbral court of the Nameless One
“Take the step and cross the gate!”
The king in Red must serve the Saturnine -
For what lurks below is full of envy
For the sun-blessed surface!
We, the bones, guard faithfully
The gateway…
To venture where all flesh is consumed
And nightmares take on form
Sup deep of the draught of hate –
Forget about who you were!
Down here you can be reborn in blood,
Reap delights by the sword!
Yea, it’s been foretold in tongues
unuttered for so long:
You have only what you can kill!
And, in the mercy of elder gods,
A trembling voice within me
Implores and strives to drive away
This madness that betrays (me)
“Obey!” a choir that plagues his shattered mind
In screams, in chants…
“This cannot be my Fate!”
The Gods Below have thus conspired in sleep
‘Gainst the new-crowned king
Down On his knees, despairing and frail,
“You shalt serve as our thrall!”
OBEY!!!!
The bones!
The yellowed grins of skulls gleam insane,
Gold like the gifts in graves;
The nightmare lives in our womb of shades
And sightless stares…

Where am I?
Bereft of sight,
Crawling fiercely…
Lo! Twin paths unwind
‘Neath subterranean skies
Where sanguine glows
A loathsome sunlight,
Vibrant, alive,
That soon will fade
To ashen gray
And I see…
Darkness, pregnant with death,
Stretching its hand
To seize my soul
And guide…
This tragedy
Begins a bloody act;
Flanked by the shades
Of those who lost faith
And thus became
The forlorn ones
That Fate has marked
To pass through Gates
And horrors…
Darkness, benights their eyes
To embrace madness
And to come,
Reborn as heroes,
Back to the world
heroes
The Gods Below ask
A high price
For their dark gifts:
Madness
Swarms me like flies
Shall twist thy soul
To embrace madness
Darkness
Shall set me free…
Shall twist thy soul
Back to the world
Heroes come

The Vengeful dark red of skies
Like dying embers,
Lie strewn above me –
A cyclopean gate
Now, before me looms,
Arched in ways that put
Geometry to shame…
Can harken the distant beat
Of leathern, membranous wings…
A stench of death
Prevails in the fetid air
And Something moves in the mist;
What shrouded horror doth emerge?
An unholy form thrust into the fore
That threatens now to
Claim my ONLY shard of sanity left:
A scarabean teratoma,
With cleaver-claws a’ hacking
And apron of human faces sewn,
Fixed its gaze on me…
Gods above, give me your strength to fight!
A DASTARD
I shall not prove myself today –
I’ll stand and slay…
Ye Gods below, is this all
You got to throw at me?
My scissor slices through its gut
Piercing shell to eviscerate…
In mortal throes my blows fall
Until, at last, I’m
Steeped in victory
the blood of my foe
Under THOSE weeping blood-skies!
Die, foul thing!
Now your wings are mine!
Thus, I soar through heavens sunless…
Another gate awaits,
A new nightmare to face!

THE ECSTACY OF THE HUNT
04:23
|
|||
|
What power born,
Liberated by the winds of hate!
Consigned by Fate
To walk amongst the dead
And serve the One
With every fiend cut down by my hand
And the gates left unguarded!
In ecstasy!
Awe-struck,
Nauseated, I fall -
With no mouth I have to scream:
Oh, no!
What monster is this new me?
Pray, Death’s mercy be granted unto me,
Free from sights unholy, dark,
Oh, Spare my mind
That soul-shredding pain -
The truth!
When the barrier breaks between the worlds,
When the living serve the dead, in chains, they’ll see
Their world fulfill its Fate and sink consumed
By spell, by blade, by the assassin’s art,
I’ll hold on to my vicious crafts
I’ll hold my scissor high as scepter then
And call the rampant waves to crush
Their pitiful domain!
The tide
Now devouring the shore
And what remains of my old self:
The gems are burning my eyes,
Searing holes in the dome of my skull
Plunging me in agony…
Time to let go
Of all that I knew before
When my terrible lord
Brings me to the surface world
Immortal and deranged I shall ride
With cannibal desires
Trampling down the scum
Who thought themselves beyond
The reach of my revenge:
But now it’s time to learn
Man’s but a gazelle
And I am the lion:
I have woken hungry
And I mean to hunt!

TOWER OF SILENCE
04:42
|
|||
|
The pulsating stars,
In pallid glyphs
Write the grimoire of the ever-night;
Words of power,
Etched in a black and seething sky;
A spectral wind
Whispers of a distant dirge
And reeks of offerings the dead despise
For they don’t have a mouth…
Nor have they eyes
To see what lies behind
The membrane
That seals this dank
sarcophagus
Where the silence reigns supreme,
And all screams fade to nothingness…
Clawing from the other side
The living try to reach
The staring dead
Starving for life
And spells to bind fast
Their mutilated forms
In the fathomless dark
Let this be my strength –
For no one weeps for me beyond
This wall;
Despair, whets for me a knife
To cleave a path
Up to the world above –
Where all that’s left for me
Is the taste of revenge
Prayers
Stolen from lips
Shall be my trembling magian light
Inside the dark
That holds enthralled
Irkala KAr…
Corpses all around me stare
With hands proffering gifts…
Go, now; Raise an obsidian wall
Inside you;
Thought damned, you still
Can yearn for thy return:
Call out that name
The dead won’t say aloud
The seal of judgement
Is now erased
The silence breaks,
The tower quakes and falls;
Something (a)wakes -
Death approaches in the dark

SERPENTS PACT
03:14
|
|||
|
You can call my name:
Sárkány!
I’ll set you free
From this dreaded, Black tomb…
For I desire to quit at last
This putrid womb where nightmares are conceived!
Hate yearning for release
Shall be the key
To setting us both free!
No longer
Should you fear Judgement’s toll
And its cruel fires that shall petrify…
If only you would bend the knee!
From the bay of Yss
A ship with amber sails can brave the sundering waves
Of murk that separate us from the realm above,
Traversing secret aerial ways, leading to the living flame:
The sunrise
I’ve dreamt for nights on end –
Yet, too, I fear; for light spells doom for me!
Unless you dyed
The sun red for my shake:
Thus, Then I could
Reign as God in skies of the twin worlds
Inter me in thy flesh-form
And thou shalt know the taste of power:
A wolf amongst the flock –
Afraid no more, come, pick your kills
And even feast on blood of gods!
Mania churns inside
A heart diseased with violent appetites!
Α wolf amongst the flock –
Afraid no more, cleave to what you crave:
They who wrought thy hell shall pay!
Grim trophies torn from their pathetic hides
Shall soon gild thy heaving breast
As triumphant laughter rakes you to the core!
Follow me
To the shores of freedom
Where Salvation
Lies a bloodbath away!
The Dawn Courser
Sails into the Unknown
Where the sun
Always Turns to blood!

LAPIS ANIMAE
04:39
|
|||
|
Lapis animae
Rise the scream of burning souls
Lapis animae
The second death’s reward, a mystery of life
In death I’m strong
Ebon pillars flank the way
To where a flame
Purifies a crystalline
Tear of life…
The Gods Below
Look down on me
From obsidian thrones;
“Thy Stone must be
Transparent and
Ablaze with light;
Thy Fate was sealed
When you stood by
And watched the vile rapine
In the tone of your wife’s piercing screams”
Once I was afraid of thee
But no more!
Now I’ve found the wish that calls
For war:
Thus, to wield the blade
And cut down those who seek
To keep me from
Making my escape!
My Rotting Lord keeps
What remains of my soul;
He shall be my guide to
realms above
Into such freedom
Or to Hell,
As he doth see fit…
It matters not To me now –
My Stone is black
With chthonic dark!
The pillars fall like dominos
In His Majesty’s wake!
The floor erupts
And flames leap out
To upturn the thrones;
Bewildered Gods
Are running all around –
The judgment hall
Consumed in chaos’ throes…

BLEEDING SUNRISE
05:30
|
|||
|
Etherial
Breaths propel the boat to soar
A’ glimmer with the coming of the new dawn;
My blood-shot eyes
With hate espy the boatswain at the helm…
I recognize
That pale and tortured face
Ploughed with grim lines:
My own visage!
Black hatred stirs
within me
And my fists clench
With intent
To rage against myself
What right does he have
To escape before me to the light?
Vengeance shall be mine at last
I swear!
Wild,
Like a storm,
The lust for red deeds
Wakes in me!
For too long
I’ve crept here
Unseen
Now the Sun is mine!
No more shall Fate
Grind me in Her crimson maws of steel
Now the Sun is mine!
Its flames put out by
The red rain from my knife…
Now the Sun is mine!
Free at last,
Reborn from death,
Thrust Me!
As comet from on high
In divine wrath:
I’ll rule the realm
Where once I served…

It´s so hard to make a decision which song to prefer because every song is so good. I enjoy the whole album. Shore to Aeon is beautiful, the lyrics, the melody and Nele´s voice.

This album takes me on a wonderful journey. As for my favorite track, I could hardly decide between 'ISAE' and 'Everything's about to change forever'. From my feeling I can already feel an immense progress compared to 'Cosmic Drone' in terms of the clarity of the sound. Thank you for sharing this album with us! <3
