With Powers Most Foul​.​.​. Lyrics


Betwixt the warring waves

Ten multitudes in twain

Where unborn writhe to stars maligned

Vilified in throes of night

In abyssal depths

Souls forlorn haunt the underworld

Crucified in agony,

They spit upon the cross of life

As fallen stars alight

Beyond the seas of death

Formless eidolons

Beholden to sacrifice in wait for the adept

Seven seals unchain

A sign bestowed upon each gate

For powers most foul,

Rend the veil upon the hidden side

Secrets have I kept

With eyes belied by scars of time

In birth’s lament, atrocities

Blind those of womb conceived

The darkness have I chose

In obsidian black, crown me king

Caressed by dark in Lilith’s wings

Beneath the ancient stone

Unhallowed blood in lakes below

Tunnelling voids to universe unknown

As fallen stars alight

Beyond the seas of death

Formless eidolons

Tempting with avarice the soon to be adept

Poison has dried through my lips

And my thirsts remain unconquered

For powers most foul

Attune my sight to worlds of the beyond

Let the hidden word reveal

Hideous shapes contorted and vast

Show me forbidden forms concealed

This exile have I chose

Where pain entwines euphoria

Craving self oblivion

Beneath the universe

A void that coils from pole to pole

To majesties of emptiness

Gods of the unknown

With the serpent’s path complete

Bonds of blood are paid in full

Black horizons have lead me home

Where mist had cloaked my grief

Now thorns beguile the walls of stone

The moon’s light bleeds the surface

Hear my call from the beyond

Now a fallen star alight

Beyond the seas of death

A formless eidolon

This is my sacrifice

The mark of the adept

Doors that have been locked

Through every life

Keys hidden within

Behind the sun and night

Open now wide Qemetiel’s path!

Tear my soul through the eye of the needle at last

Renounce these chains of time

Reveal this truth of my own design

With powers most foul once hidden from me beyond

Death

I see myself at the gate
