The Pale Queen
03:32
|
|||
She is hidden in plain sight
The queen of infernal might
Together we'll venture below
To a place without light
Waiting for the final blow
You must drink from what I am
I'll be the sacrificial ram
Solace, only in death
Inside their earthen tomb
A glance of impending doom
As life drains for my veins
I can't wait to be exhumed
No rest for my remains
You must drink from what I am
I'll be the sacrificial ram
Solace, only in death
An eye white as snow
Observance through fog
Wisdom she'll bestow
My rotting demagogue
You must drink from what I am
I'll be the sacrificial ram
For you, my Abraham

Mother Bloom
04:21
|
|||
Her ashes amongst the seeds
Beneath the grass and weeds
I don't know why
I put a stop to you
I'll pray to mother bloom
I hope she'll bring you back
I can't wait to exhume
There is no looking back no more
In a dance with you once more
Petals and vines caressing me
Let the soil be the earthen door
This time I'll let you be free
I'll pray to mother bloom
I hope she'll bring you back
I can't wait to exhume
There is no looking back no more
Do not let the roots take hold
Down there, in the cold
You did not grow old
But you will, as marigold
I'll pray to mother bloom
I hope she'll bring you back
From the earthen womb
There is no looking back no more
I'll pray to mother bloom
That you'll come back to life
You know I will be your groom
And that you will be my wife

Only Ash Above
04:51
|
|||
One by one
They stood their ground
Soon undone
By a shattering sound
She knew not of war
Only life turning to ash
She need not answer for
The immense backlash
A flash of white
A rain of deathly delight
A fiery swarm
Only ash above
I see only ash
Only ash above
I see ash above
Only ash above
I see ash above
An usurper crowned
A people drowned
By the fiery swarm
Only ash above
I see only ash
Only ash above
I see ash above
Only ash above
I see ash above

Waterways
03:50
|
|||
Waking up on a throne of stones
In a blackened sea
Water flowing all around me
Grasping for air, as they slash and tear
Reborn in mud
Sudden lust for blood
As I adorn a crown of twigs and bones
I've found the secret key
Hear my final plea
Take the fight and defeat the night
A legion in the thorns
Demon without horns
Into the filth and beyond
In the darkness a sacred bond
Beneath the waterways
Into the filth and beyond
In the darkness a sacred bond
Beneath the waterways
How could I not see
That the poison is me
I am the venomous sea
That's why nothing can be
Into the filth and beyond
In the darkness a sacred bond
Beneath the waves

Bearer of Burden
03:28
|
|||
Whispers spreading like wildfire
"The king is dead, the king is dead"
Higher and higher, a message so dire
"The king is dead, yes, the king is dead"
Don't know why this was my burden to bear
There he is slumped over his chair
Drenched in blood, draped in gold
How did my heart become so cold?
Dagger in hand, venomous greed
Power left behind
When the dust settles
I have to wear a mask
To be ready for this task
Shouting outside, black smoke rise
"The king is dead, the king is dead"
Ascending in rank due to his demise
"The king is dead, yes, the king is dead"
I know why this was my burden to bear
There I am an adviser light as air
Childless ruler, I'm next in line
No one knows the price I payed
Dagger in hand, venomous greed
Red is the blade
When the dust settles
I have to wear a mask
To be ready for this task
When the dust settles
I have to wear a mask
To be ready

Empusa
03:41
|
|||
Twisting into form
Drawn into the swarm
Beautiful and warm
Lust, a violent storm
She is out to feed
Triumph is decreed
I will surely bleed
My life she will need
Drink my blood
Eat my flesh
Hold me down in the mud
Tempting and young
Seductive tongue
She danced and sung just to feed
Gaze into the void
Am I paranoid?
Violently destroyed
Yet I'm overjoyed
Look into my eyes
As all slowly dies
Scream into the skies
Queen of blood, arise
Drink my blood
Eat my flesh
Hold me down in the mud
Tempting and young
Seductive tongue
She danced and sung just to feed
Drink my blood
Eat my flesh
Hold me down in the mud
Tempting and young
Seductive tongue
She danced and sung to me just to feed
Just to feed on me
