Tonitruum quod vesperum nuntiat (Aeterna Nox) Lyrics


Cataract! The veil which shieldeth us, yet bereaveth us of sight!

Amniotic membrane!

Thy sanctuary for a slumber whence thou desirest not to awaken...

Thou hast dreamt, and didst deem thou hadst lived

affrighted at the thought of beholding

The thunder, a searing blade charged to rend asunder!

The twilight hath been heralded

thy dreamworld is no more.

Wherefore now art thou adrift upon twilight oceans,

now art thou plunged into everlasting night.

You're unclad and gelid,

within a fen of sable fluid

Submerged, motionless!

Amidst primordial

horripilation:

a static feeble frame!

Eventide summoneth unto itself the spirits of the nether realm,

astral entities of all chaotic conceiving:

The Woodlands speak unto Me!

The Rills speak unto Me!

The crags speak unto Me, and even so the Heavens!

The thunder, a searing blade charged to rend asunder!

The twilight hath been heralded

thy dreamworld is no more.

Thou hast dreamt, and didst deem thou hadst lived

affrighted at the thought of beholding.

The thunder, a searing blade charged to rend asunder!

The twilight hath been heralded

thy dreamworld is no more.
