BEYOND THE SUN WHERE THE MOON SHINES ETERNAL
AND THE NIGHT IS FOREVER OBSCURED IN SHADOW
THE LANDS ARE COLD AND FROZEN IN ICE
MAJESTIC IN BEAUTY AND FILLED WITH SORROW
CHILLING WINDS CUT THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS AND FORESTS
BARREN AND WITHERED, EMBRACED BY WINTER
DARKENED SKIES MIRROR THE BLACKENED SOIL
WHERE WALKS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF ANGELS
WHERE WALKS THE MOST DREADFUL OF DEVILS
IN COSMIC SEAS OF ANCIENT CHAOS
YOUR STAR SHINES BRIGHTEST OF ALL
UNCONSTRAINED TO RISE ABOVE ALL CREATION
YOUR INNERMOST STRENGTH BRINGS EVERLASTING SOLITUDE
IN A REALM MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN A THOUSAND HEAVENS
CAST AWAY FOR THE CRIMES OF ENDLESS PRIDE
BUT CONTENTED IN THE ENTHRONEMENT OF YOUR OWN IMAGE
IN STILL AND MURKY POOLS MAY YOU DREAM FOREVER
GAZING INTO THE ENDLESS DEPTHS OF MYSTERIES UNKNOWN
LIKE BLACK THORNS THAT TEAR THE FLESH IN EXQUISITE PLEASURE
YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THINGS BRINGS ENLIGHTENMENT COMPLETE
DESCEND INTO THIS NETHER REALM OF THE BLACK ABYSS
ASCENDING BEYOND FORBIDDEN THOUGHTS SCORNED
AS ONE INTO THE TRUTH OF DARKNESS AND LIGHT

ANOTHER SUN SETS ON BALEFUL LANDS
TRANSMUTING INTO A CRIMSON ORB OF TRANSIENT WONDER
THE LAST OF IT'S WANING RAYS DIE
AS THE LADY OF THE NIGHT'S SONG STARTS ANEW
MY LADY OF DARKNESS
SHED THY EARTHLY GUISE,
SO THAT THE MEEK MIGHT SEE DESTRUCTION
AS BLACK TEARS RAIN FROM THE SKY
YOUR IMAGE IS SPLENDOR
GAIETY AMIDST DEATH
CLOSE NOW THY EBONY WINGS
AND STEAL THE WORLD'S DYING BREATH
RESPLENDENT IN SILVER, THE FIRST STRAINS OF HER EPIC OF WOE
ENTHRALL THE NOCTURNAL BEINGS DRAWN TO HER SIGHT
A DOLEFUL OPUS TO THE WONDERS OF NIGHT
ENVELOPED IN A SHROUD OF PAIN
IN A VOICE TAINTED BY A MILLENIA OF TORMENT
HER SONG HAS REACHED CRESCENDO
AND HER DESCENT IS NEARLY COMPLETE
SHADOWS OF MAGIC ASCEND FROM DUSK
REVEALING THE MOON FOR ALL TO SEE
MY LADY OF DARKNESS
SHED THY EARTHLY GUISE,
SO THAT THE MEEK MIGHT SEE DESTRUCTION
AS BLACK TEARS RAIN FROM THE SKY
YOUR IMAGE IS SPLENDOR
GAIETY AMIDST DEATH
CLOSE NOW THY EBONY WINGS
AND STEAL THE WORLD'S DYING BREATH

THE MOON RISES FULL
IN THE DARK NIGHT SKY
CASTING SHADOWS UPON
THE SNOW COVERED TREES
THE WINTER WINDS BRING SOLITUDE
AN EERIE SILENCE THAT HAUNTS MY SOUL
THE WINDSWEPT FROST ENGULFS MY BODY
AS I WALK INTO THE ENCHANTED WOODS
A BLANKET OF WHITE COVERS MY PATH
AS I KNEEL BEFORE THE ALTAR OF STONE
IN ROBES OF BLACK
SEALED WITHIN THE SACRED SYMBOL
WITHIN THE MAGIC CIRCLE
I CALL TO THE FORCES BEYOND
SEPULCHRAL WHISPERS
PIERCE THE SILENCE
OF THE CHILL NIGHT AIR
DIABOLIC RITES INVOKE THROUGH SPELL
THE DARKENED GATES
ENTRANCE TO ANOTHER DIMENSION
DARKNESS ENGULFS THE CANDLES FLAMES
IN A REALM OF SHADOWS
DEMONIC SERVANTS OBEY MY COMMANDS
(Ixithra)
Back to Top
THROUGH GREY CLOUDS AND GLOOM
THE CRESCENT MOON SHINES BRIGHT
WAXING AND WANING IN SEASONAL TIDE
BRINGING THE WINTER COLD AND DARK OF NIGHT
SHADOWS OF THE MOON DESCEND
ON DARK AND OMINOUS MOUNTAINS
ENVELOPING IT'S TOWERING PINNACLES
AND JAGGED STONE CLIFFS
IN A COLD AND STINGING SILENCE
THE DARKNESS FLOWS DOWNWARDS AND REACHES OUT
TO GRASP AND PURIFY THE NOW DESOLATE FOREST
A COVEN OF NIGHT GATHERS WITHIN
TO OBSERVE THE RITES OF WINTER PASSAGE
A CALLING OF ALL UNTO THE DARK GODS
IN SOLACE OF THE WINTER STORMS
THE MOONLIGHT MASS BEGINS
IN EXONERATION OF THE SNOW WHITE FOREST
TO HERALD AN AGE OF ARCANE MAGIC
ON A NIGHT UNYIELDING TO THE DAWN
IN CELEBRATION OF THE WINTER SOLSTICE
(Ixithra)

I STAND TALL AMONGST THE ANCIENT TOMBS
REVELING IN THEIR LONG DEAD KNOWLEDGE
BREATHING DEEPLY OF THE PUTRESCENCE
I FEEL AT ONE WITH THE ELDER SPIRITS
THAT HAUNT THE DREARY PLACE
FLOWING CASCADES OF DEATHLY MIGHT
SWARM WITHIN MY MORTAL FRAME
TRANSFORMING MY ONCE HUMAN VISAGE
INTO A GHASTLY VISION OF CORRUPTION AND DECAY
KNOWLEDGE GARNERED FROM THE LONG DEAD
AIDS IN MY DESCENT TO THE HALLS OF DEATH
I, THE LORD OF DEATH,
ADORNED IN HIDEOUS TRAPPINGS
WITH DOMINION OVER ALL
THE TWISTED RULER OF AN INFINITE KINGDOM
ENSHROUDED IN NECROMANTICAL FOG
AMIDST THE GHOULS I DWELL
IN A REALM OF MARBLE AND SOIL
MY LOYAL SUBJECTS LIE IN WAIT
OF THE DAY THAT I SHALL RISE FROM MY THRONE
AND CONQUER THE WORLD WITH PLAGUE
(Synvorlath)

WE ARE THE WINGS OF DARKNESS
AND THE ARMS OF DEATH
SCOURGING THE EARTH
WITH FURY AND MALEVOLENCE
WE ARE THE FIRE THAT BURNS
THE HEAVENS TO ASH
TORN WINGS OF ANGELS
FALL UNTO SCORCHED LANDS
WE ARE AS ONE WITH THE SHADOWS
EMBRACED BY NIGHT
EMBODIMENT OF EVIL
DESTROYERS OF LIGHT
IN COLD GRIMNESS
WE ARE THE HATRED CONSUMING ALL
AS THE MORTAL REALMS FALL
DRAINED OF THE ESSENCE OF LIFE
WE ARE AS ONE WITH THE SHADOWS
EMBRACED BY NIGHT
EMBODIMENT OF EVIL
DESTROYERS OF LIGHT
(Ixithra)
Back to Top
THE AFTERGLOW OF WHAT MAY LIE AHEAD
TAINTED WITH SO DEEP A RED
WITH SPARKS OF BLACK SHINING DIM
IN WHIRLING WINDS, SO TENDER, SO GRIM
SOULS ENTANGLED IN THE BRANCHES OF DEAD TREES
SHATTERED DREAMS OF ONCE BEING FREE
SHINY WINGS ACROSS THE SILVERY MOON
DESCENDING UNTO THE TORTURED EARTH SOON
TAKE ME UP, I'M NOT WILLING TO STAY
AND CARRY, CARRY ME FAR AWAY
WHEN LEATHERY WINGS WITH GRACE CARESS
I'LL SOON BE REBORN IN DARKNESS...
SO WHERE ARE YOU HEADING TO NOW, BLACKEST OF ALL
WHOSE MADNESS CAN'T BE CALMED
BY ANY SECRET UNKNOWN REVEALED?
YOUR PRIDE A GLORIOUS HALO RADIATING LIKE THE DYING SUN
OVER THE NEVER ENDING DESERTS
YOUR STRENGTH OF AIR, WATER, EARTH,
AND THE ALL CONSUMING FIRE
AND YOUR DESPERATE BEAUTY IN THE EYES OF THE WILD...
THE FALLACY OF REVELATION,
OF CREATING A "BEAST"
SO DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE KNOW OF YOU
ENSTRANGED VISIONS WILL NEVER
ENTER OUR HEARTS DEDICATED TO YOU
SHATTERED LIES WHO DOES NOT KNOW
SHATTERED BY HIS OWN CREATION,
ILLUSION COME TRUE
THE NIGHT IS OURS, THE NIGHT,
THE PALE MOON, AND THE STAR DESERT
PATHS THROUGH ICY MOUNTAINS
AND OVER BROKEN BRIDGES
GUIDED BY THE RADIATING LIGHT
NO ONE THERE TO FOLLOW WHO
DOES NOT FEEL
WHAT DRIVES US ON AND ON
BUT WILL BE LOST IN ETERNITY
THESE PATHS CAN ONLY
BE PASSED BY US
ALONE
THE NIGHT IS OURS, THE NIGHT,
THE PALE MOON, AND THE STAR DESERT
AS WE'VE BEEN CROUCHING
IN DARKEST PLACES FOR MILLENIUMS,
NOT TO BE SEEN BY THE MORTAL EYE...
AS WE'VE BEEN WITNESSING STARS DYING
AND SNOW COVERING ANY TRACES ONE MIGHT HAVE LEFT...
AS WE'VE REMAINED IN THE SHADOW'S EMBRACE BY NIGHT
WE'VE BEHELD A WORLD IN WHICH WE NEVER BELONGED
WE'VE KEPT OUR MYSTERIES IN OBSCURITY
OUR WORLDS OF THOUGHT AND EMOTION
OUR WISDOM AND MAGIC,
THE TRULY TRAGIC EXISTENCE IN THESE REALMS...
WE ALWAYS KNEW THAT THIS WOULD END
WE AWAIT OUR REBIRTH IN DARKNESS...
ETERNAL DARKNESS...
