The Abbey Rises Once More Lyrics


Northern Shores of the Draculine

Another war dowsed in blooded wine

Forbidden lore of thy nocturnal kind

Is revealed to us as the planets align

Aaargh! I am awoken!

My forgotten coffin unbound to thee

I roam the coast where my palace had been

In the mist and fog of the carmine seas

A pale blue phantom is revealed to me

It was foretold in ancient prophecies; once the war-torn abbey had risen, a biblical nocturnal apocalypse would be unleashed

Bats fly to the moor

The abbey rises once more

Undead erect from the shore

The abbey rises once more

Christ was defiled for the entertainment of the countess

I shall avenge my crucified brethren in a sea of sapphire wine

The false prophet worshipped is an imitation of the true nocturnal divine

Churning for aeons in the stomach of the beast ever since the dawn of time

The origin of the crescent made flesh was an omen to the desecrated shrine

I have seen this in a tale I read before

The ebon abbey has risen once more
