Long lost to the solitude of pathless worlds Where the winds of obscurity are drawing my course A gift has fallen while the skies are in storms It's the knowledge so old it could insult the god Key to creation, to space and cosmos It shall open my spirit for the force yet unknown Powers of darkness are carrying my soul To experience great dignity of death and beyond Centuries flashed right before my eyes as I'm starting to understand what I should not These secrets revealing as the dark curtain is closing, I'm exalted by those shadows as I'm no longer human Void's consuming my soul and consciousness As it ever been the price Condemned for neverending purgatory I am stronger than I could ever be Hunted down by inevitable fate - My will is quelled Halls of grievance designed to mutilate - Mortal cells Stepping in with no hesitation - where dark spirits dwell That's the place where I will meditate on the power of the sinister spell I'm disfiguring my soul, it evolves, it transforms As my powers are beyond what's above and below In this inner altar, morbid mightiness is enthroned And it's boiling in my soul As the great storm goes on Darkness shall grow, it shall rule forevermore And the shadows of the goat horns will possess this soil In this kingdom forlorn, my new spirit is born And I will proudly carry on the godlike power I've owned... I'm marching on... With sinister spell! The prophecy's completing I can feel it in my bones The moonlight shines through fissures of the ancient hallway's walls Ravens flying low in wait for the storm For the glory of the old ways, I am cursing darkened wonders to come There's Devine's demise, Where dark angels fly Guardians of chaos are filling up the night sky Hammer of gods flies down to my hands As primeval choirs are chanting the secrets of sinister spell Roots of eternity embracing my soul No nameless, no more as I have become satan's sword Ravens of doom are flying around my throne Opposers to my order struck down to oblivion's void Make the sky disappear for the endless time Leave the stellar desert above Flames of doom, angel's cries, everlasting night I am the bringer of eternal wrath Raging powers of the underworld - legates of war Cruel battalions subjected to the dark lord - Knowing no remorse Devil's hordes, envoys of the Raventhrone - Marching on Carrying the black flame and stepping into the state of demise and even beyond Northern winds enraging, embracing mountains so glorious And the signs on the sky and earth are dark and mysterious These times are stupendous and their meaning is enormous When suffering and agony are revealed as so precious Centuries flashed right before my eyes as I am starting to understand what I should never figure out These secrets revealing as the dark curtain is closing, I'm exalted by those shadows as I'm no longer human My curse My blessing My death and my reborn Enlighted, yet blind With sinister spell!

In the vast shadow of lost dominion I open my heart to the dark force For evil spirits of night rising from oblivion Infecting the sky and horizon Cold winds of the dark past released from the void Black elements from the realms far beyond Stormy clouds above the lands of no return Frozen in time, damned and forlorn I walk through the valley of forsaken souls Whispers of vengeance, not from this world Nebulous orchards where the rotten roots grow From the seeds of evil, from the darkness below I walk through the valley of long lost and gone Graveyards of gods, dark angel tombs And there's no star to perceive wherever I roam For the glory of the night, great chaos is born I carry the crown of restless lords, I'm guided by winds from the mountains cold Lands ordinated by my mace Yet I own nothing but the darkness embrace Shadow of the Raven Throne Draws the borders of my kingdom To the dark halls of grievance, I am enslaved, Until my flesh will fade, until my very end In the great darkness of lost gehenna I open my eyes to see the end world The soul chains drive the power of never-ending storms These are the dread claws of the oblivion Grey clouds embracing the darkest of worlds Hiding from god's eyes the source of my force Anointed by cold winds and eternal snow I welcome this prison with a purified soul Although my curse lasts forever and more I carry it proudly, I wield it like a sword In the impure hellfire my hammer is forged Gateways of darkness are sealed with my words Shadow of the raventhrone... Draws the borders of my kingdom cold! Shadow of the raventhrone... Draws the borders of my kingdom cold!

The shadow of eternity conquering the skies And the chariots of fire wandering through the night Great sorrow overshadowed the moon, its light Elder night watcher has lost his pale crown Sinister serpent possessed by great lust Turning all the planets into worthless dust Cosmic oblivion consuming the stars Dark angels above are pleasured with this sight Awake! The great beast rising as the new dawn Leaving the sun behind Redeemer has come and he brings down The ancient order of gods Great serpent swallows all of the stars It is the final sign This night is born for eternal times Nocturnal eclipse - Rise! I step into the darkness, so deep, so pure To the wilderness of refuge of damned souls obscure This night, dark angels are healing their wounds By the wind, the fog, and its dismal nature Forest starts to shake and so fretful is the lake For the prayers, it's too late, as so dark is our new fate The wind takes its last breath, of the last air that remains For the eternal darkness, this world shall prepare... Morbid god of no man's land Wherever he steps - No daylight dwells Fading deeply into the night Dark angel's cries - Nocturnal eclipse - Rise!

His vision can pierce the mountains And reach beyond the greatest seas The whispering wind is carrying his order Call for his servants to awake from eternity As black night falls, the dreadful calling Is spreading to four corners of the world Thus chaos is born, thine kingdoms - forlorn Reapers of spirits are marching toward the unknown Last leaves fall, and the gloomy sun drowns Dying far beyond the decaying horizon and In the lost forts, in the shrines of dark gods For the nebulous sons, they bless black pathways, they're awoken The darkened - sacrilegious - riders of death are taking their course Taking first steps, in their mainstay Where the darkest forest grows and dreads wind blow Through fields of thorns, through rivers of plagues Father moon keeps anointing them Soulless they are, yet many they own Beware the signs of the day when they will finally come: Bloodred clouds, reflecting dark winter Atrocious coldness harvesting its toll A flock of ravens sculpturing a Reaper Famine and plagues anointing dark throne In the temple, beyond the mountains The dark prophet was hiding his face for so long Cursing the world with eternal darkness His face - burned! - dissociated and so old... Envoys of retribution, winding are their roads The Bewitching glare of the moon, As far as they will go At dawn they sleep, in the twilight, they hunt Seeking for soulful life forms Another kingdom was conquered, crushed to dust and stones In twilight... And in the moonlight Where no angel tends to fly They hurry up the everlasting march No power will stop the crusade of black knights! Masters of havoc, Harbingers of death, Riders of Nebulous Lands! Soulless they are, yet many they own Beware the signs of the day when they will finally come...

Epitaphium 05:37
Dismal dawn braided by the cold breeze Old sculpture secretes bloody tears With no eyes to see, with no heart to beat The stone monument starts to breathe Restless soul with no place to go Possessed by winds of Everlorn And as the wind blows, the sculpture speaks on These shall be my last few words Oh sweet void, a hopeless emptiness, suck out of me my consciousness I reject thy God, I reject thy hope, let my soul die forevermore Beyond the great wild horizon, beyond the no man's sky A liberating end awaits... No light can be ever seen in an eternal dream Silence my thoughts and make my soul cease to exist When this day will come You'll feel something rising Deep inside your doomed soul Hourglass sand is swiping down Feel your breath and heart turning cold Cursed be the day of the shameful end When you must accept your own fate On this shortening pathway to the grave No man shall stop the black chariots of death The grave is cold but you won't feel it - the overwhelming boundaries of death And tears of those you left behind won't stop the upcoming rotting process Oh sweet void, a hopeless emptiness, suck out of me my consciousness I reject thy God, I reject thy hope, let my soul die forevermore State of reality no eye can see Roots of the eternal life-giving tree Your twilight has come and it carries a key Open the black gate of infinity...

In the shadows, he's trying his arts Numinous son of mountains and ice Tired and old, yet conscious's his mind He's living like a rat but dreaming like a god His soul is long lost, for it's trapped inside An embodiment of the keeper of noble witchcraft Blind he is roaming through the mountainside Where the cold winds blow in chase of dark clouds Dead void... souls I summon from the dead void Forsaken forge of the ones, long lost and trapped beyond Where the sun roams... Ancient pillars are shaking by my voice The great invocations... Tears of lost souls are raging up in the storm On the edge of reality a waterfall of a great sea Reflection of our souls awaits beneath The deceitful surface of ignorant, mortal perception of life Where the waters of the end-world hollow the rivers of space and time Summoned by death's choir, the black scepter of fire, It's glowing like the sun, and I am the one To carry its power through the fallen empires Buried by dust, redeemed at last! ... In the black shrine on the peek of this world Under the eye of a dark lord, rites are going on Primeval winds are now carrying lost souls And the chariots of death, to the gates of the underworld! In the night, in the coldest winter Fullmoon shines above the tombs of restless warlords Cries of souls, I hear them right as the freezing cold wind blows Straight from the depths of oblivion transcendental wisdom comes .... Come! The old lunar shrine, a monument of past And as the twilight cries, it's awakening at last Altar of the glory of eternal night Where the preachers of decease are again gathering up
