1. Beyond The Candles Burning I am a dark star rising on the ravenous bleaky sky A black diamond shining so deep within the night Maliciously I dwell in a bluish shaded beam With a stonecold heart into the core of my being
Beyond the candles burning, beyond all mind's eye A vast empiric enigma awaits me as I die In a graceful dance obscene, in a ring of fire I obtain my majesty as flames caressing higher
Release my spirit, unleash my soul From the darkest dungeon, oblivion call In the phallic halls of ancient forlorn A cold sanctuary in doom is born
Beyond the candles burning, beyond all mind's eye A vast empiric enigma awaits me as I die In a graceful dance obscene, in a ring of fire I obtain my majesty as flames caressing higher
Past, present and future are all the same While the cosmic wheel is turning But deaden dwells the eternal flame Beyond the candles burning...
2. Moon In The Scorpio A mirror blank ocean above me decoy Superior forces that heal or destroy Take me astray into the moonlight above Through twilight eyes as a specter shadow
It is a time of great light And a great darkness Can't you feel the present Of its phenomenon
In an atmosphere supreme Forces dwell in dormancy The essence of its spirit is evil As a curse upon thy name
Midnight is the shepherd of mysterious powers And moving shadows in the corner of the eye Moon's blazing intuition Contains what death requires
Cleanse the doors of perception See things appear in its true art The cold hands of divinity Will tear thy soul apart
Behold the sky above, When the moon is in the Scorpio A cold bleak light...
3. In Mourning Mystique Darkness, I seek the silence that you bring
Grant me thy sacred gifts Bestow my soul thy offerings Let the ancient forces of nature rule Take my blood as the sacrifice A symbolic faithful bond of truth I kneel in front of thy altar black
When you look into an abyss, The abyss also looks into you
Tonight I enter into obscure dreams In darkness shelter, I am unseen With the esoteric gifts I possess I bring damnation by enforcing death In the beginning of the storm Till come forth...
An arrival into a twilight reverb As just a shadow of the former self Sorrow is my name, My true essence is pain
Hear the mourning of the mendacious From the empty halls and shafts Of the false blinding light Prepare the last sacrifice On the altar, in the temple of decay Please spare me from The final agony of shame
