Velvet dreams of ebon darkness Swirling like shadows, sepulchral and warm Nightborn phantoms rend me painless To a thousandfold aspects of blackness I'm torn Sands of time are running backwards To ages enshrouded by vast cloaks of gloom Translucent tnedrils stretching outwards Transcending the threshold of yesterday's doom I wander landscapes godforsaken Though crosses loom into an uncaring sky Corpses decay 'long the paths I had taken For sins born out of their hearts they had died Ash clouds on red horizons gather Emitting from stakes illuminating the night For spirit, son and holy father Their hot, cleansing fire's devouring my bride The saviour's sheep now flock the scaffold Their hypocrite faces are frozen in glee Witness my loved one's torture untold Our unison wailing in agony And as the thirteenth candle flickered My past life laid plain as a book before me I'll walk in wrath amongst the wicked Preach Christendom's fall into eternity
