I laid beneath a savagery dawn
Beneath the welkin of nymphs and fawns
Above, the flocks are demented in glee
They muted the cries and silenced their pleas
I stood upward on companions and foes
A mountain of bones, deep red overflowed
The forest grew silent, empyrean grey
A cinder reflection, behold, the prey
Striding ablaze on golden wagon
The eight-legged horse pushed forth
Pacing like lightning and thunder
Ulf’s piercing howls lacerated the sky, drip, drip alveolus
Trampled to death, for a thousand-fold
The talon speared forth through plains of gold
“Vagrants, Surrenders, Deceivers and Prey
Heed the choirs of bane, a hymn of dismay”
Heed! Heed!
The sound of silence
Heed! Heed!
The call of Woden, freely roamed in the hunt
Cradling affection, heart-bounded in passion
Prideful retreat turned disgraceful regression
A Jolnir season for cowardly souls
Woden harked, unjust with blindfolded woe
Witness me, my amber heart
Now etched with lovers’ lamenting loss
Let us rejoin in the north of winter
Please take our bones, ‘fore gone black hunters
Heed! Heed!
The sound of deceit
Heed! Heed!
The caws of misery
Let our bodies rejoin in tapestry
Let our souls divide freely
Let us savor this lifeless sojourn
In frozen heart of Niflheim we burn
Let our bodies rejoin in tapestry
Let our souls divide freely
Intertwining in glooming shadows
Decaying in the twilight afterglow
Take to heart this unfair judgement
Oh, craven-born! Oh, fair-blood gallant!
Rapid gates of horns and ivory
Winding the House of Sleep, in trance
Take the path of dream or righteous
Diluted shadows of things once precious
Pathos and Dolor, let open your way
Thee, wayfarer, what’s left to say?
Rape the vestal, rape the clean
Amidst the hunting in day-breaking spring
Grace the fallen with crowns of thorns
Let immortals adore with crowns for none
Blood, fire, death and silence
Flaying for vain and falsified credence
A memory of maiden faded like yesterday
In Eventide awake
Mouth bursting with laughter
Laughing beneath my gallows pole
Biting my lips, let crimson wine bleed
For no masters, for no hunters

Elcrost - Calendula
05:24
|
|||
Perched on her naked skins, benevolent trembles.
Sweet ambrosia, like an ever-flowing stream from within.
Vivid imagination,
a torrent of liquid fire, bursting her lustful desire, dripping down from her porcelain lips.
Clasping her chest, untangled her wound.
Feel the beating from her breast and the rumbling wails of her womb.
A curious forest peeking a branch at windowpane,
to hear the woman’s song radiating through the ether.
Thus, ever, towards the alluring sea.
Where there’s quiver, where there’s fright.
Calendula, a cluster of ecstasy.
Always (like a prey)
sweating through ghastly vesper (and wandering).
Like a breeze of rising days (in twilight).
Eclipsed in woodland sleeper, ensanguined through ages.
One by one, I lift her veils.
Sailing fingers through her thighs, clawing a furrowed trail, hands weaving in knots.
I bleed at her sovereign side.
Above the soil, forget me not.

Phantom Blood

O father I grieve with you, the pain of loss blackens our hearts,
this disdain you feel, when your love was killed,
your thirst for revenge can only tear us apart…
King of the blood…
Betrayed, no choice but to escape,
my kin has gone insane, not who he once was,
Summoned, by the lord of the darkness,
commanding his night hordes, across the land..
I slumber in a tomb deep below,
waiting for my time to come,
Disturbed from my rest by an ancient foe,
cursed by my father’s return,
Together with our destinies intertwined,
through shadow we walk this same path,
a journey into the evil unknown,
to slay the Impaler, tyrant of death..
Mass graves, humanity enslaved,
the towns are all burning, for the sin of one priest,
Armies, of demons keep coming,
spreading destruction, ‘til the light reaches in...
The battle still rages on as we pass, through the halls of
this great fortress that I once called my home…
With magic and weapons, we kill all who oppose,
as we make our way to the place,
where my father lingers there on his throne…
My destiny is calling, I make the move forward,
the fury of hatred that burned in his eyes..
Violently mourning, bloody tears are now falling,
for the wife he loved so dear,
Accepting his fate, as I strike with my blade,
felled by the hand of his only son,
He turns to stone, as I stand there alone..
watching in horror as he turns to dust..
Black skies, the morning that he died,
the unholy scourge that served him, swept away..
Dethroned, his castle now my own,
the only heir, this is where I remain…
until the end.

The scent of tragedy in the air, innocent blood has been shed this night
Contorted faces twisted in fear and euphoria... they’re lost
How is it that this horror before me can be reality?
Cold and all alone, all will to fight stripped away, my sense of self begins to fade..
But there I see in the roar of the white, her standing there with amber eyes so bright,
All is not lost after all, I will take up my sword and depart into the mystic forest unknown,
Her curse, this unholy affliction can be tamed, I will find a way..
That familiar smell, I swear I will make him pay..
For what he took from me! I cannot bear the pain anymore,
The wisteria leaves falling all around me..
There is no going back from this, I hear their cries of despair,
Why can’t this all be a dream? Trapped in the memories of who I used to be,
Save me…
Behold the majesty of flame, the blade that burns bright with purpose, and righteousness..
Hissing as they dance, engulfing shadows and those
who dwell within, in light… Wicked laughter falters to whispers of ash
and dust, forgotten… Now only one remains, vicious and thirsty for cruelty, our last chance for hope ripped away…
The breaking of a new dawn, to pass the torch so others live on,
for new blood to rise up, to light up the darkness, without fear…
When your enemies are near, feel the ripples of fate begin to change..
From the influence of the twisted and deranged.. their carnal desires…
We are the lords of night, we are the demonic elite..
We are the 12 kizuki, we are eternal and will never die..
They won’t stop coming for us, a taste of our flesh to nourish their soul,
I can smell the stench of death, with every step I take towards the end..
For you… and for all.. humanity, I will bleed.. for them all…
In my last moments as memories flash by,
my heart fills with joy, I know no innocents died,
Mother, have you come forth to take me away?
Tell me, are you proud of what I accomplished this day?
We are the lords of night, we are the demonic elite..
We are the 12 kizuki, we are eternal and will never die..
