about

Through Ancient Waters The Cold Glare Of The Old Ones' Hungry Eyes Hold Sentinel O'er The Path

lyrics

Scythe of waves crash down
Inbehold black door
Far beneath mortar of time and space
Grip of oceanic terror
Awaken to underworld realm
Fell black serpent, watery domain
Herein labyrinth sleeps fate’s well
Enshrouded in vapors; distorted
For he who would seek wisdom or death
Echoing voices of ancient gods ring

From cyclopean stone shell
Spiral galaxies
Chalice of spineless ones
Fluid in ancient form
Drinking serpent's blood
Fasting beneath the blackening sky
Devouring father, initiatory rebirth

Grasping oaken peregrine staff
Chasms of water towering down
As lineage veins through blood
Frozen halls, the hand
Becoming a silent temple of flesh
Sacred mistress deliver the sword

Transverse desolate realm
Beyond labyrinth forests
Warp sword eye see the journey
Conjure shadow through a circle of flames
Task to be undertaken
Voyage beyond the land of soil and stone
Glimmering in the distance

Diving down through obsidian waves
Deliver the sword
Riding tidal vortex of endless deep
Do not falter
Shapeshift back to hydrospheric form
Deliver the sword
To the altar

Westward
The mast ascends upon sea
Of hallowedness
Osprey guide
My soul through tormenting waves
To yonder shores
Zodiac eyes of distant suns
Charter this vessel
Of a wandering sage
Solitary exile
Homeland but a memory
To the night sea wanderer

My horse
I guide to seek the path unknown
My tomb
Adrift, lit with fire
Across the ancient sea I crawl
Toward the lair of the challenge

I am the edge ascending from the sea
Through blood and stone I split the earth

Beyond waters of death
Awaits the rose and thorns
Shrouded in ancient seas
Reclaim the line of kings
Through redemptive sword
Jewel of the lady of the waters

Warrior, ride on
Through stars and shores
Of cosmic storms
Seek the path
Bear forth the chalice of truth

Shattering is the raven's cry
Enter belly of the beast
Swallowed through jaws of leviathan
Self annihilate I have become
Threshold beyond threshold
Seeking golden light of dragons
Slaughtering tyrant gods of hoarded wisdom
Disperse eternal flame of retribution

Prometheus rising

Nameless wanderer
Body pierced by one thousand arrows
Mortal initiate
Mind swaying on the blade of twilight
Seek my pale radiance
Reflecting in the brume of sunless waters
My eyes have seen the world
Splintered galaxies of crystal
Mirroring the volcans of your genesis
Quicksilver is my voice
A tongue of lightning whips
My embrace an azure flame
Melting your armor, spent
Come to me as water
Cascading through dark earth
Down beyond the frozen grottoes
Crypts of herculean stone
See now through my gaze of shadows
The path you seek
The gilded soil of my flesh
In the ever flowing stream
Leading down
Ever down
Come to me

From the shadows: glaring eyes
Glistening teeth of a black maw
The septangle of flames ensconce the trove
Beyond the hidden door, encandled in blood
Enchanted with venom; the poison must be let
Blood must be spilled
Behold: the face of absolute horror

Writhing scales of hydra
Surrounding frozen flesh
Carnal eyes, glistening lust of blood
Vampirous demons siphoning blood from skull
Lecherous forms shadow the horizon sea
Impaling the hollow shells of souls
Burning in flames of depravity
Devouring insides of saurian flesh
Torn apart through mercyful blade
Torn apart by mercyful flames
Grasping scalp of severed heads
Laughing baptized beneath moonlight

You are the enemy
The enemy is I manifest

Beyond cherubim
Shattering walls of eden
Paradise regained
Through undivided circles
Unify spirit with queen of perfected form
Becoming cosmic wheel
In innocence I rest in blackened flesh
Of goddess Kali, destroyer creator
Ecstasy of muscle and flesh
Dance of fire well within primal sea
Two becoming one

Hammerheart echo
Temple drums of the deep

Warrior bear down
With the hand of Thor

Hero
Prepare thyself to be crucified
Upon the sacred tree of knowledge

Lightning swords
Splinter Osirian casket
Reborn
Upon sunlight
