Presentiment

In my dreams I see a cloaked figure
Mutely it drifts by the wind
And as fear creeps into my soul
It sings, it chants a psalm
Give me all (I will)
I crave the world (all shall burn)
Give me all (for you, I will)
I see eyes of endless blue
As cold as winter-frost
I see fire of ageless youth
Relentless stone and haze
I know not what witchcraft
She laid on me that day
What blackness entwined my fate with hers
My will to dwindle into a languished thread
Give me all (I will)
I crave the world (all shall burn)
Give me all (for you, I will)
So blind yet sees everything
So strayed yet never lost
So mindless yet free as an eagle
So weak yet stronger than all

Thirst

My thirst cannot be quenched
Through flame and distress
Walk for me, my love
Through infernal chasms and seas
Die for me, my love
Through constant abrading despair
Walk for me, my love
Through the unending depths of Hades
Die for me, my love
Unmake wretched abhorrence and destroy my opponents and enemies
Wear and consume all essence of life as I desire
Death shall come to all
Flare as I command, my love
Bring forth death, my love

Illusive cobwebs of fate, weaving gloom and woe
Where have you been leading me to?
Delusive ways of fortune, heedlessly I took this path
Yet doubt bloomed within my heart
The infinite spiral
Keeps whirling as we linger on
Shuts our will and shatters our deeds
Collects our consciousness' remnants
To set them on a new course
Stay by my side – I am bewitched
Together we'll conquer – a cruel deceit
All shall be ours – she seeks for no allies
Forever to reign – sole is the throne
Will I break?
All for her

The Black Sorceress

Come to me, my brightest star
Shine fiercely as we draw near
Embrace my abiding love
Closer…
I feel but a shaded pulse
Runs through my veins
Pulls me into the void
Of hers…
Black sorceress of sublime magic
Casts spells of mist and clouds
With silver hair and skin of snow
And eyes as vacant as night-sky
Step into my light
Of blackness
Let my warmth cradle
Your soul
I see endless dark beneath me
Feebly it calls, yearning
Yet I should not yield
I must resist
Come to me, damned mortal
Fall down as I command
Give me your everything
Now die and despair
Death to all (and everything)
All shall burn (none remains)
This is the end (of all, for all)
Now die, my love (my acid regret)

I drown in your ashes
I see your light shine
So dim, so distant
Yet bright, so bright it blinds me
I see the blood dripping
Down my arms, so slow
When my consciousness awakened I see
(This is not me)
I
Crave
Blood
I
Want
Pain
I
Am
Wrath
I
Am
The
Godly form of justice
Haunting all your dreams
I’ll never leave you
I am your repression
Aggression
Solace
Darling, I am yours
And you are mine
I will stay beside you
Inside you
Forever
Abysmal darkness
Bites in your heart
I will hide inside the shadows
I'm there…

Cold, pale moonlight
I've come to tell you,
My love,
I'm in death's embrace
Again
Sweet words of bitter solitude
Worlds collide
And dreams collapse
Cold, pale moonlight
My path has been lost
My love,
In an ocean of decaying
Darkness
Sweet words of bitter solitude
Worlds collide
And dreams collapse
I drown in warm corruption
In the innocence of mine
I've given in to the predator
Now I drown
Come to me,
My Dark Mistress
I lay down my pride
Like ashes at your feet
As I burn in the flames of your agony
Cold, pale moonlight
I've come to tell you
My love,
The predator won my heart
Again
Sweet words of bitter solitude
Like claws
Pushed under my skin
Come to me,
My Dark Mistress
I strip off my armor
To show you my real self
As I freeze in the cold of your
Misery
I drown in warm corruption
(You drown in warm corruption)
In the innocence of mine
(In the innocence of yours)
I've given in to the predator
(You’ve given in, my Mistress)
And now we drown
Donec mors nos unum

Death of Annabelle

In silent nightmare I found your warmth
You heard my screams in darkness
My sweet and charming prince of death
And now in silence I shall remain.
Locked inside my own horror
I ran so far, so far
You caught my breath to hold
And now in silence I shall remain.
My lonely princess of great resort
It's you who came to me at night
Whos blood was spilled as sacrifice
I craved you for too long
Now in silence you shall remain.
In the dark and dusty room I sit.
I wait for you, my love, my light
You paint my name in blood
And now in silence I shall remain
Your beauty has blinded me
I am ashes to your feet
I am your deadly master of delight
I kiss your skin with my cold blade
And now in silence you shall remain.
The blood of a damned soul flows
It drained the legacy of hers
The walls are cursed to keep a secret
They're seen, but never see.

To Darkness I Fall

I used to see her
In every corner of my dreams
Heavenly beauty, cold
A goddess, a dream, a ghost
I used to see her (was it me?)
In every corner of my dreams
Heavenly beauty, cold (was it me?)
A goddess, a dream, a ghost
Her beauty never died with her
(Can you see me?)
Though she burned in flames
(Can you see me?)
It was nothing but an illusion
(Can you feel my beating heart?)
Not real
Oh, the monstrous deeds I have done
(Are you still mine?)
Bloodshed, pain and death
(Can you hear me breathing?)
These dreaded nightmares are forming
(Can you feel my warmth?)
In the shape of hers
I am your only solace
(Lies!)
I am the solid ground under your feet
(Lies!)
I am your salvation
(Lies!)
I am the only savior to your soul
(Lies!)
