SHROUDED IN SHADOW

In this hole, called the abyss
Is a man
Of the dark caress.
Wickedness runs in his veins,
Polluting
All there is to gain.

He is damned, suffer alone
In his core
And inside his bones.
Just a ghost among the droves,
Tormented
By the touch of love.

He can still see her face after a thousand years
(She forges a path through the age.)
Shrouded in the shadows of his greatest fears
(A tide of passion quenches the rage again.)
The rock upon the shore to break the waves
And the first rays of light to bring a new day.

Wallows in his settled shroud.
He is lost
Nothing to be found.
Winter chill stills the mourn
Lost, he is
The King of the Thorns.

He can still see her face after a thousand years
(She forges a path through the age.)
Shrouded in the shadows of his greatest fears
(A tide of passion quenches the rage again.)
The rock upon the shore to break the waves
And the first rays of light to bring a new day.

Stuck between day and night,
The hour in which the Phoenix takes flight.
The siren bathing in the streams,
She is the beauty that haunts his dreams.

The earth wailed at her demise
Angelic
Grace sent to the skies.
Now unleash the beast
A wolf set
Loose upon the sheep.

He can still see her face after a thousand years
(She forges a path through the age.)
Shrouded in the shadows of his greatest fears
(A tide of passion quenches the rage again.)
The rock upon the shore to break the waves
And the first rays of light to bring a new day.



Partially inspired by Pyramaze’s Ghost Light and Iced Earth’s Dark Saga

Here's a another to whet your appetites. Inspired by just about any Cradle song


DECET DIABOLUS PRINCEPS

NAM EA EST
SUPER
FAIRYTALE

She lays on a carpet of freshly fallen snow,
Pale skin matches the frostiness around her.
Raven hair splayed out on the ground,
For her the fairytale is now over.

Her existence in visions
Have left me blinded
By her gleam.
She once was sleeping
A beauty under the spell
Of living death.
But too soon it was over
For she could not last
The dreadful winters.

The saints have slain
Those in the rain,
Left behind.
The Princes have gone,
She left the pawns
All used up.
Fantastical creatures
No longer featured
On her bosom.

DECET
DIABOLUS
PRINCEPS

The beast lays in a pool of warm fresh blood,
His last great howl had turned to a shriek.
The last of his faltering visions is of
A fair skinned beauty dripping with gore.

Stain the snow white
With gobbets of flesh.
Foolish lovers
That crave her touch,
A prize to be had
Is not so.
Unholy sacrifice
To appease the thing
Within.

Beast under the moon,
Witchcraft in the gloom,
A demon spawn.
Goddess of the slaughter
Walking on the water,
Gothic fairytale.
Utter wickedness
Let loose from the pits,
She wants more.

DECET
DIABOLUS
PRINCEPS

In time she has laid claim to many a name
To always spread her fame.
Holding her chalice to always fill it
There was all for her to gain,
A fairytale of rending flames.
But her first title is that of Lillith.

When all the charming princes have fallen
They can still her singing calling,
To haunt them all in the afterlife.
On their kingly knees they were crawling
To Lady Lillith, one of the Fallen,
The dark angel of the night.

Time begins to wane
The closing of the game,
She had her fun.
Many midnight calls
Fantasy by the falls
Of godless splendors.
Even with her dark magic
It has grown oh so tragic
With no princes left.

LIC-(inspired by DUALITY by SLIPKNOT)

Visions,whispers,blinded screams.

Holocaust of my beliefs.

Enter through,and fall to knee.

Peeling off all sanctity.


Growing old,cold and frail.

Growing fangs,growing a tail.

Infested with a vile hell.

In flames I bid thee all farewell.


They won't let me leave.
Lifting me up high again.
High for all to see.
I will never be forsaken.


Fear to judgment ratio.

In favor one when I'm alone.

Shadow witness holy souls.

All will bow,when all do know.


He won't let me leave.
Lifting me beyond the sin.
Beyond what is me.
I will never be forsaken.

“No Solution”
http://rjosephhoffmann.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/demon_4.jpg
(Everto Sperma)

She’s down, she’s down deep,
deep on his love, filling dark omen,
twisting him, twisting him deep up in her love,
a black generation women spewing, chewing nails
to keep his demon seed coming into mistress soul,
hammering warm hellion semen from below

making her whole
making her whole
making her hole
spilling his demon seed

Blow by blow, violence is genetic code, ancient ritual of old,
none are too bold to take her up, to take her down
to the bowels of hell when his demon seed comes around
to fill her need, she makes raw sound like the Hounds of Hades
cracking tomorrow, spitting him out broken, a burnt love,
the token malignant germ ran out, both heartless, guts shredded,
she had no solution but to let him go to the wide gates
but not above, far below hiding, now he's the pawn of Satan,

endless black love
endless black love
endless black dove
killing his demon seed

She’s down, she’s down deep,
deep on his love, filling dark omen
