Here within this sacred space My guardians gather near Fire and flames protect my right At left Earth's strength is here Before me Air my vision clears Behind the tides do swell And all around throughout this space The Lord and Lady dwell

Beneath The Eye Of Hecate 05:06
lyrics

The crossroad's bathed in silvery lunar light Arrive! Hecate, glorious Empress of the Night The moon, your pale blue eye is gazing down on me Heralds your presence, sweet nocturnal entity Leave now the gloomy realms of the Lost and of the Forlorn Light up your torches and guide those who are Paganborn Fire - Lighning fills the crumbling sky Water - Rain pours from the clouds up high Wind - Sweeps across the barren fields Earth - Is sated by the blood I've spilled The wolves now sing their mournful tale of sin To bid a welcome to their unforgiving queen Wraiths and spectres leave their long forgotten tombs To join our Sabbat underneath the crescent moon I roam Acherons unsilent shores Make raw strands of pure magic unwind I am lupine, voluptuous and cruel Nightly haunt of your weak and feeble minds I am the purest of Black to be embraced by the seeker The third aspect in the circle of life By cold moonlight I prowl as the sun's getting weaker Up from Hades I rise, for your lifeblood I strive I'm Hecate! We are the night Witches and Warlocks join with me Neath her blue light Darkly Mother, Hecate Powers unleashed For her maternal trinity Hail the Great Beast Queen of Witchcraft, Hecate We are the night Witches and Warlocks join with me Neath her blue light Darkly Mother, Hecate We're Paganborn From the burning sun we flee Under the Horns Lunar Princess, Hecate

I Soar The Moonless Skies 06:24
lyrics

A pack of wolves, my grey-clad children Howl their triumph to the fading sun Dusk is drawing nearer My reign nocturnal has begun The pallid, deathlike bloodmoon Hides its face beneath the festering clouds The gloom, my silhouette hides I soar the moonless skies I prowl in eerie silence Gaslit streets through the swirling mist My undead thirst is growing Blasphemous craving to deliver the Dark Kiss Crimson wine of lascive flavour Is pulsing through your heaving vein With my embrace, I introduce you My loving bride to my lightless domain The light's what you should fear Gaze in my bottomless eyes And fall for me my Dear I soar the moonless skies With infernal charms I tie your soul and make you my dark queen Your ivory neck, I tenderly kiss Unearthly love you've never, ever seen I sow the seed of boundless evil On your white skin I leave my crimson mark Lustful but lethal, my sweetest poison Makes you a minion of the Dark I may grant you life eternal As the night falls, I arise I am the lurker in the shadows And I will soar the moonless skies Oh Dark Lord, I want you near by me Your presence drowns all what I fear With your slender, guiding hand I'll be Your Queen of Night eternally I'm overcome by your hypnotic gaze Shaken with joy in most mysterious ways Show me where the lonesome raven flies And soar with me the moonless skies

Boudicca's Triumph 03:32
lyrics

Armies march in shining splendour Sound the call of blood and fire Led by Britannia's defender They raise against the Roman Empire Boudicca, Witch Queen of England As thy groom I'll walk with thee Her daughters raped by the invaders Her family put to the sword Groves defiled by Roman raiders Now she holds her vengeful court Boudicca, Witch Queen of England I'm your King for seven years Horned Hunter, be our saviour The Roman Eagle is soaring high into the sky Walk proud in Andraste's favour Save our land from being devoured by fire At the thrice-damned town of London Druid's wrath is soon unleashed Blazing fires stain the horizon The scythe of death reaps man and beast Boudicca, Witch Queen of England As God and Goddess we unite Riding on a bloodstained chariot Drawn by two enormous steeds She's the daughter of the Horned God Squashes Rome's might neath her feet Boudicca, Witch Queen of England In Andraste's name we fight As thy husband I will honour thee I've sworn my oath at Beltane's fire To defend my land for the next seven years Before I bow my head to die All invaders shall now witness me As I wield the Sun God's spear Next to my Witch Queen I'll ride Watching Rome's legions shake with fear Witness the glory of Boudicca's triumph!

Amidst The Frozen Forest 04:32
lyrics

As the sunlight's getting dimmer Spreading crimson afterglow And the forest greets the dreamer Moonshine gleams upon the falling snow Withered fallen leaves enshrouded By a blanket, white and cold The pale Wintermoon is clouded Malign its presence to behold Howling winds are blowing cold Shake the trees with awesome might Ancient heathen dreams unfold In this silent winters night And I see a wolf-drawn chariot Ride the starlit skies Feel the presence of the old gods From lost halls up high And the stars and the moon gleam in frozen silver Flakes of snow and the leaves dance in swirling grace The cold wind blows a flute, tuned by ancient spirits Naked trees bow their heads to their masters face Hear the screech-owl sound its mournful wailing Join the choirs of this unholy night The Wild Hunt rides on the snow so bright Driven by the chilling nightwind's gale The heaven's join this strange nocturnal fairground Lighning flashes announce the roaring thunder Ancient spirits rise from ageless slumber To greet me as one of the old god's heirs Deities of a long lost age Dance with spirits, naturebound But as morning dawn enters the stage They vanish with no trace to be found Sunlight hurts my bloodshot eyes And my pale skin shuns the light Dreams of moonlit midnight skies Hide my pain beneath the cloak of night Feeble minions of the cursed deceiver Watch your golden temples burn The Cross will crumble, Christ will shiver Behold the ancient gods return

Witchfires 04:59
lyrics

The gruesome stench of sizzling flesh The horrid fate of death by fire Heretic sins reduced to ash In the name of misled desires They purge for God's own sake Salvation at the stake Self-proclaimed saviours stoke the cleansing fires Gaze upon the witchfires Watch the blazing witchfires Don't forget the witchfires Remembrance on those who died The ugly and the beautiful In Gods own eyes they are the same Condemned to die a death so cruel Proved guilty of acts most blaspheme' Suffer for the Lord Obey and hear his word No witch or warlock shall be left alive! The wicked acts we have to prove Are written in those sinner's eyes In torture they'll confess the truth For one in pain can't think of lies Renounce what you had been Then we'll forgive your sins By burning you'll be saved from the hellish fires Recall their names, an endless list Who're murdered in the name of God Women once fair burnt to a crisp For pious man may not spill blood Tortured, drawn and tied Mercy was denied Which devil could outdo, what the Church had done? The cross of mercy has turned red From countless graves its victims cry For 'true' beliefs thousand lie dead Below the ground charred bodies lie Brothers from the past Revenge shall come at last As winds of vengeance sweep the ashen fields

Pale Prince Of The Ruins 08:04
lyrics

Here I stand amongst the ruins Skin as white as snow in a wolflike face Red eyes observing The remains of my once ruling race I am the Pale Prince of the Fallen Feeble monarch in a dying age I am the one to watch it falter And to remain last actor on the stage I'm trapped in the eternal struggle Between the powers of Dark and Light Sworn to my saviour and my Nemesis The hellforged runeblade by my side I am the mightiest of all mortals But still a puppet in the play I'm doomed to have no friends, just sorrow Those I once had my sword has slain I'm standing at the Dreaming City's gates Watch the havoc wreaked by me A piece of art, millenia old In just a blink of time it has ceased to be In endless sleep my loved one lies I curse the dark gods for my bitter fate The only one life was worth to live for Has just perished on my hungry blade They call me the Eternal Hero But I don't know for whom I fight Am I a follower of Chaos Or do I strive for Order's light? Stormbringer, the widowmaker Black bladed sword of malignant greed Devours the souls of my enemies But those of friends are so much sweeter Bound by its powers to grant me strength I raise it to the careless sky The gods of Chaos reel in mocking laughter As they hear my final battlecry Arioch - Mighty Knight of the Sword Arioch - Blood and souls for my Lord Arioch - Born your servant to be Arioch - And your worst enemy Chaos had come down upon the earth By foul Pan-Tangian sorcery Forests burn, proud cities crumble Whole kingdoms fall to drown in boiling seas Amongst the mayhem stands the sole survivor Of the Melnibonean race The gods my people served for aeons Are the same gods I soon will have to face On the warped landscapes of a dying world Chaos and Order fight their final stand I am the last amongst all mortals Awaiting the time when time will end My daemonsword ends the existence Of god or mortal, foe or friend Finally it shall drink its last soul To make mankind be born again

The Spirit Of Heathendom 05:18
lyrics

You're calling a phantom your wise, loving father Who had formed your forebears out of clay I think that your brains still consist of this substance Or what else is the reason that your minds went astray? You think, Earth's been granted your supreme dominion And you might reap it of everything it can give If you are interested in my solemn opinion: Scavengers like you have no reason to live! Our Mother was a woman of ravishing beauty But for womanliness you have nothing to spare In return for bearing more and more of you bastards You rape her again after stripping her bare You enslaved Mother Earth to act at your bidding And scoured it from dangerous heretics like me I am sick of you scum and I'm surely not kidding Mother's suffering from a plague called Christianity You are nothing but pitiful creatures With your God residing in Heavenly Halls But right here on Earth elder spirits are lurking Awaiting the time for the crosses to fall Morrigan, Avenger Life's reaper, Death's crow Bean-Nighe who washes The severed heads of our foes Bad our mother Let fertility grow! Maturity's triad In eternity adored You deny on what all life is still founded Which is love, lustful longing and sensuous joy You prefer children born by a chaste, modest virgin That they're products of lust, you stubbornly deny But still you are haunted by natureborn cravings And as each woman of grace is a devilsent slut You rather rape children as a kind, loving father Go to Hell if you don't mind, cause I hate your guts! Your Lord's bursting from mercy and positive feelings With disgust you regard those who feel anger and hate You wage war out of love for the ignorant heathen To save their souls from the devil, before it's too late I thank you for taking my life in your hands How grateful I am I simply can't tell But still I prefer the wild ways of the heathen Even though in your eyes, I'll be burning in Hell First you've stolen our festivals sacred Then your oppressive belief had grown tall But right here on Earth, elder spirits are lurking Awaiting the time for the crosses to fall Underneath the Horns, they feast and dance and sing again To the woods the laughter will return For the powers of Earth and Fire, Wind and Rain Instead of stakes, the Pagan fires shall burn

Carnifex 03:47

I gaze into the bleak faces The crooked figures coming around here to die On Golgotha-Hill I reside And crucify them There's one amongst them who was living in vain The King of Jews is now a King of Pain First they brought you incense and gold Now they bring you hammer and nails On a ross ends redemption foretold The reign of God is a kingdom which fails I'm your demise Emperor of lies! I drink the wine of fear from your eyes As I lift my hammer up high And feast on your pitiful cry With my first nail The only way to salvage your soul Is self-sacrifice, that's what you preach Now I grant you the best chance to teach it The jackals and ravens You told your followers about your kingdom above The first four meters you're already aloft! Now I've taken your blood and your flesh And hung it up high in the wind Now would you please forgive me my sins As you have promised? Oh, you glorious ruler benign Tied and fastened in your kingdom up high Bless your followers with arms opened wide And perish forever!

Ordo Templi Orientis (The Goat Of Mendes) 06:08
lyrics

[Baphomet:] The desert glows, but howling winds Announce the night when our feast begins Stars shine above, their gently light Hangs like a cloak on the moonless night I watch my children reap the fruit Of sensuality, sweet and lewd Call my temptation incarnate The Goat of Mendes, Baphomet Hide from the storm that blows from the west Freezing the hearts in our bare breasts Behind a crimson cross they rode To drown in blood my sunburnt abode [Jaques de Molay:] To the land where the crescent stains the sky We ride forth to bring salvation and the Light We're the knights of God, Christianity in mind For Jesu' blood the plague of Heathendom we fight For our king, for our liege On fortress walls, we lay siege For king Philippe and pope Clement We purge beliefs, unpure and wrong [Baphomet:] My children slain without defense Blood senseless soaks the desert sands Butchered in the name of the holy light Which seems to me as dark as night Knights of the bloodstained Cross Gaze upon the mindless carnage caused Call me 'Devil' or 'Great Beast' But I'm more human than your Christ at least! [Jaques:] A goat haunts my darkest dreams And speaks of pleasure never seen God, I can resist no more Temptation of sin I can't endure [Baphomet:] Deny the cross of agony and pain And be enthralled by my pleasure-filled domain Lay down your coat of abstinence Feel ecstasy and indulgence! [Jaques:] Our false god had been finally put aside Darkness fell wherein we had discovered light Now we dwell in luxury never seen Remembrance erased of what we once had been Baphomet, lustrous Lord We're the knights of the Goat Indulge in sins never thought And spit upon the sign of God [Baphomet:] Don't speak of Light where Darkness looms Black turns to White neath the twin moons! I'm the One who'd ever been And I will rule eternally I'm the hermaphrodite goat Warlocks' and witches' overlord [Jaques:] To thy mighty oath we're sworn And deny the loathsome virginborn We reject humility And embrace the light of heresy! [The worldly powers:] I am the king installed upon the worldly throne And I am the pope, as heir to Jesus Christ I'm born Together we succumb to envy, fear and greed And reap the harvest of the foul heretic's seed Perish in flames for the blasphemy you'd done Your ashes in the four winds will be strewn Nothing remains of you and your unholy halls But for your gold which shall adorn our palace walls [The Pagan heirs:] We are heirs to what the Church wanted to erase Upright and proud we laugh into your weak god's face Light becomes Darkness and Dark gives birth to Light Templars we are and we won't give up the fight!

Youthful maiden, Mother, wise one Thanks we offer thee Honour and love go with you - Hail! Farewell and Blessed Be! Mighty Sun-King, Horned One, Stag Spirit wild and free We loved your dance, we bid you Hail Farewell and Blessed Be!
