Queen Of The Borrowed Light

from Consort Of The Dying God by Goat Of Mendes

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Entitled "CONSORT OF THE DYING GOD", Goat Of Mendes present their first complete concept album with a playing time of nearly 70 minutes.
    Inspired by the annual Gypsy celebration for their saint Sara la Kali in Saintes Maries de la Mer, GOM have woven a fascinating story around ancient gypsy faith and legends, dark secrets of early Christianity and the very essence of being a Pagan.

    GOM have enriched their already unique style by integrating elements of hungarian and romanian folklore and haunting gypsy scales.
    Apart from this, the new record of course still features crunching, yet melodic twin guitar work, thunderous drumming, awesome leads and variable, charismatic vocals.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Consort Of The Dying God via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Queen of the borrowed Light

Mistress of the Netherworld, so intricate and fine
Head of the Secret Church between the Róm and the Divine
Lady Moonlight
Tide of the Sea
Fertile Earth
Duality
You venture forth in spirit realms but do not strive for mastery
You just reflect the Sun God’s light, full wisdom breeds insanity


Earthbound throned
Upon an altar garbed in flowers
Bride of Ra
You’re known as Black Sara

Spirit Guide
Protect our people, guard our secrets
Source of Being
Our Mother, Great Kali

Guard the child
Of the Shaman’s seed
Defy the papal creed
Queen of borrowed light

A cavern suits as earthen palace deep beneath hypocrite splendour
As Consort of the Dying God you’ll be true wisdoms sole defender
Forever keep your veil of secrets closed from prying pious eyes
And grant us intuition to foresee where ancient knowledge lies

Papesse la Kali, Nigra sum sed Formosa
Our beacon through the Dark along this Via Dolorosa
Remind us on the Sun God’s smile as we walk through this endless night
Spiritual bride of Man, Queen of borrowed Light

A fragile shard of wisdom, swept onshore with the tide
A Queen in servant’s garments to act as faithful guide
In the gloom
A light we need
The sun must shine
Where shadows breed
A Shadowthrone between the pillars of infinite duality
To gaze beyond the Mother’s veil means to reach Eternity
