lyrics

In dawn of sinister sun
Five souls conspire in silence
To a gathering at midnight
Daring ideas of archaic divination spring from
morbid, yet perplexed curiosity for taste of the astral plane

Any opposition to intrusion upon such a realm where the specters propagate
Swiftly dismissed as cowardice, antipathy towards dark council of accursed souls

Arranged in circular shape, this joining of trembling hands
Unsettling shadows taking form upon sadistic art of the damned
Air increasingly suffocates as intense conflagration fuels incantation

Provocation cloaked as benign in hopes to evade our fractured will
Penetrating our collective psyche, shaking fibers of our existence
The very atmospheric pressure is awry, as acquisition of a knowledge coincides
Within the minds of the lighters of horrific flame, their howling echoes across the waves

Nomadic spirits! We seek thy council!
Ignite within us, cognition!
Inflict our psyche with essence of subservience!
Across the ocean we ride!
Imploring dancing spectral shadows:
Devour this night!

There is a definite change in nature's form
Once withering winds now great antagonists to the sails
All thirteen candles suffocate, drowned in fire's bane

Symptoms of grim pathological changes coincide
With notable difference in their thought and sight - this is
Some sinister presence gnawing at the broken soul

Enriched with great metaphysical mastery following this
Outreach to a world all too insidious
Antithesis of supposed bliss

Abhorrence flows as ocean currents out their eyes
crying tears of blackened blood and marrow

As time progresses, execrations show impending symptoms
Somatic evidence of possession now appears

Even though the very same corporeal form likely remains
Some traits have become vaguely dissimilar
Some indiscernible detail
Which poses greater threat than physical force
