Nycthemeron Lyrics


Lost inside the twisted glades of oppressive sight

emerging out into the plane of the unending night

Trees of blood surround the blackened city

a caustic haze drives away any thought of familiarity

The twilight sun reflects the ghosts of virulent days

the paths you take are surrendered to the wrath of decay

Blasphemous cage, your shadowed purpose eludes me

Those hell wrought walls, sowed with stone and cryptic glyphs

They stare into their beholder, and cast warning unto my silent approach

A venomous whisper fills the air

Calls of ash twist unending

Sinews become still as your fears stand fulfilled

Gateways part to reveal a blacked void,

A breathless wind escapes and with it comes the Cimmerian incarnate

Your fixation lies with its eyes

poisonous and piercing, they follow your being

The gears of pestilent creation turn to the hour of foreboding realization

“Come forth still creature, invoke thine courage unfathomed.

Thou shalt witness the life after death.

Ingredere regna averni”

Skeletal limbs beckon forth my wavering step,

A hell forged portal awaits.

Withdraw into the realm of ecliptic black.

The Heavens are shrouded by archaic structures,

leaving no trace of the spectral penumbra

Below exist the thralls of decaying reanimate,

Entwined in ritualistic necrosis.

A city of tombs is all that awaits you.
