Grave Sacrament
04:46
|

Holding the key to the endless dawn
The candle burns with devotion
Consecrated through perversion
Our oath shall be eternal
Desecrating the grave of the saints
Ripping them from the coffin
Their bones will be our altar
And Death shall be invoked
Conjuring sepulchral darkness
Through cryptic words and incantations
Exhuming their holy essence
Ceremonial desecration
Of the sacred
Excruciated
Ancient sorceries
Of profanation
GRAVE SACRAMENT
Perverse enlightenment
Crowned in deathly grace
Beyond the sepulchre
Lies the grave sacrament
And the moon shineth
Upon the open graves
Conjuring sepulchral darkness
Through cryptic words and incantations
Exhuming their holy essence
Ceremonial desecration
Of the sacred
Excruciated
Ancient sorceries
Of profanation
GRAVE SACRAMENT

Sic Transit Gloria Mundi
06:14
|

He is the gateway to worlds beyond
The liberation of the soul
He is the revelation
Who comes to all
The oldest angel of the Lord
When the day arrives
There's no way to escape his scythe
Rich and poor alike
United in the joyless dance
And the endless fall
He is the true ruler of the universe
The pale spectre of the throne of bones
He is the revelation
Who comes to all
The oldest angel of the Lord
SIC TRANSIT GLORIA MUNDI
To transcend the earthly realms
To travel beyond the grave
To hold the keys
Of Death and Hades
[Orphic Hymn dedicated to Thanatos]
"Hear me, O Death, whose empire unconfin'd
extends to mortal tribes of ever'y kind.
On thee, the portion of our time depends,
whose absence lengthens life, whose presence ends."

[lyrics by Nebeleste]
Come unto me and find abyssal ruins
Upheaval as thy spasms
Coordinate impious creatures
The lost, the damned and the malicious
Come forth the throne
For to be buried in miasmic tombs
Thou shall give your heart
And thou shall give your flesh and beliefs
COME FORTH, ANGEL OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT
Through me behold ancient scriptures
For before there were none
The pain, 'tis eternal
No watchers to cut your umbilical cord
No Samyaza and his lustful incantations
Shall seduce thee
For when the casket closes
The only sound you ought to hear
Is the squalid sighs of angels
Whose demise is near

Overture to Uncreation
06:05
|

[lyrics by Nebeleste]
Be thee impure or sanctified
Walk the gourge
Vile uncreations awaits
To return in black
Crackling bones
With chains so heavy and cold
That burns flesh and soul alike
The howls of abandon
Unfurling pestilent winds
That are welcoming us around the pyre
Black fire
For black blood
Let us be possessed
Uncreate us
To be nothing within you
Like the void
From which we came
That you created
So we could be consumed

[lyrics by Trance of the Undead/Nebeleste]
It has been engraved by trepid hands
In perversed momentum
A demented candle piercing the dark
And the old cave trembled
Domains of darkness
Into the crypt below
A kingdom erected
In rotten splendour
The suffocating walls wailing
Heralding the spirits of the dead
Bewitching funereal magick
Illuminating the path beyond death
CADAVER DEVOTION
SPIRITUAL UNREST
UNEARTHED TERROR
LIFE REVERSED
Domains of darkness
Into the crypt below
Archaic knowledge unveiled
At the temple of Death
Now we lie here
Forever possessed
By the trance of the undead

Chalice of Disease
08:22
|
|||
Darkness descends upon the temple
The candles illuminate the path
Guided by madness
Embodiments of death
These sinister apparitions
All dressed in black
Shrouded in obscurity
With secrets to be revealed
And they speak in tongues
Of the underworld
They enter the circle
With daggers in hand
Raising the chalice
Of disease and death
Inside the circle
A serpent appears
The sorcerer commands
And the serpent dances
Crawling abomination
From the deepest abyss
Finally unleashed upon the world
Now the ritual is complete
They enter the circle
With daggers in hand
Raising the chalice
Of disease and death
