Aevum 06:33
AEVUM The isle of the blessed That of many names And here untouched By sorrow Aevum Aeviternitas In absence of fear reconciling Most cherished melody of all that is true Between time and eternity Crashing waves of memory Introspective vantages My return A falling Aevum Aeviternitas My return to spirits, aeon And the sound of her voice The songs of angels In this timelessness Here I am home This is my heaven

VANGUARD OF DESPAIR In my discontent With the blood and tears of men I confronted the prophet Demanding answers And he replied I predict not the storms Nor fire bleeding from mountains But I knew of their imminence You will weep Drink deep from the fountain Until your ruin comes I remember home Treacherous stair-stepped path And as my hope died Magic abandoned me Now discordant winds Blow me through firelight My age ending Witness this sobering dawn You will weep Drink deep from the fountain Until your ruin comes Antiqui colant antiquum dierum Quo fata ferunt Wicked gray plumes And apocalypse upon us The vanguard of despair I tread toward the inevitable Dirt and dried tears Nothing matters anymore World reduced to charred memories My last inconsequential steps So I weep As I drink from the fountain I am in ruins And now forsaken The fountain dried and crumbling Prophecy come to be I will thirst for my last days

LAUGHTER OF THE GODS A small cup Gripped in dirty hands My days, weeks and years Wheels of plague cart Pushed up filthy streets Every moment, how to escape And when I dared hope I heard thunder Weary legs Burning up steep hill Bring out your dead Stale bread crust With the stench of death Reverie, as cart wheel turns And when I dared hope I heard thunder Another day Trudging mud and shit Earnest, whispered prayers All despair Yet, I remain determined One copper further And when I dared hope I heard thunder Without warning Lightning crossed the sky Simple irony Me rigid and blue Coins fall from my hand On my own ride upon that cart Man plans And the gods laugh What have they decreed? No one gets out alive

Every Hour 05:14
EVERY HOUR Moments that break me sentimental With voices now silent Defiant, I raise my glass On my lonely walk, memories resonate As clouds wander past waning moon Aged spirits burn across cobblestone Will it ever rain again? Vulnerant omnes Every hour wounds Pausing for one more cigarette Reflecting here in darkness Can no one hear the melody Of what is true? Vulnerant omnes Every hour wounds These things we knew together And now I am alone Now there is only Before and after Purpose turns to ashes In this season of all that disappoints A malevolent place I dare not go Even in memory How the dead affect the living And the sacred songs that tear me asunder Vulnerant omnes Every hour wounds Vulnerant omnes The last one kills Slowly dancing To the beautiful song You remember But now the jester beckons And my song ends

OMNIS PRETIUM (Fortress I) Prima luce My breath frozen, billows Engaging the horizon Malevolent forces magnificent Certain death advances upon us Without hope, without fear I know today that I will die Archers rain death Down in torrents Trebuchets shatter stone Concussive blasts unrelenting My brothers’ precious blood Flowing wet, stains deep Heathen legions ascend, cascading within Fall into me Your hell awaits Fall into me Bloodthirsty, I strike again and again Resolute, I cry out Hold, for your honor At all cost Disoriented, suffocating Time blurs Una salus victis nullam sperare salutem Nec spe nec metu My brothers’ precious blood Flowing wet, stains deep Without hope, without fear I know today that I will die Limbs hewn, their eyes go empty Fall into me Your hell awaits Fall into me I have chosen the manner of my death Resolute, I cry out Hold, for your honor At all cost Carnage and chaos Stench and nausea Obscenities and futile prayers Butchery and blood river Una salus victis nullam sperare salutem Nec spe nec metu Fervent prayers cast to saints and warriors I ready myself to follow the inspiring dead All faith and hope lost Our death now is certain As God has abandoned us And who will now mourn? All faith lost Fall, fall back All hope lost Run to the keep Up stone stairs Desperately circling, stumbling, tripping, gasping Barricade the door

ET SANGUINEM (Fortress II) I embrace the hour of sleep Remember me forever Retreated to fortress, lacerated deep Escaping in increments, I bleed as a river And here draining amber As my body pours forth Hora somni Non omnis moriar Rendered asunder I shall not all die Whispers unheard Reconciling fear and sorrow Regrets torture me again And here draining amber As my body pours forth Hora somni Non omnis moriar Rendered asunder I shall not all die Non omnis moriar I shall not all die In fine

White Wolf 08:00
WHITE WOLF One with the night Through woods kissed by snow Following the scent, I strain for speed Spitting curses and blasphemy Small creatures flee, as well they should I cross frozen streams Gaining precious steps Malevolence and determination After them, they hunt her They must die Child of moonlight Now created in mine image In the sanctuary of the cathedral Under full moon, sharing the curse This divine punishment Brutal, bestial ritual sacrilege Transformation So passionate, so sensual White wolf Usurper, betrayal pierces deep Furiously, master pursues coven’s Unforgiveable sin Just above the treeline The pack falls upon my beloved Ravaging gray feast Her life spills out Their howls echo Fetid steam rises from torn meat Feel the pain of the change Primal unleashed as Bones crack and the white hackles rise Given the power of immutable being Eternity enchained as lycanthrope My soul – schizophrenia Her wounds external, mine beneath White wolf I slaughter each a step slow Arteries staining snow Enraged, falling upon the bastard Jowls close, his flesh tears My retribution, such elation But then I see her body there And I despair I despair In the bleak reality That love is as life Transitory Child of moonlight If I had not failed you If only you were here with me now Solitary nomad, I wander inconsolable Vigil unending Blooms and thorns grow wild there Across the ground where she fell I return now and again To talk to her memory and Remember all White wolf
