Night of eternal joy is coming
Old woods are full of seething lust and sin
Hooded figures are gathering
On the glades, where summer herbs gleam
On the glades, in the fog…
Far away from the little, foolish world of mortals
Cursed be the fate of the wanderer
Who will find himself on the crossroads
In the witching hour, when the moon illuminates these lands

The Greatest Traitor

Listen! The one, who starts all wars
Let them burn! In the eternal fever of salvation
Rise and crush! All words and all that louder than silence
Let them tremble! When the midnight hour comes
Turn their hearts into ruins
Turn their homes into wastelands
Crush their skulls by the silence of shame
Turn our souls into mounds of their weak faith
Night is dark like the bottom of hades
Bell is moaning in her embrace
Holy lord, did you come to calm your herds?
When they heard the rumble of hooves
And felt the smell of sulfur in the air
Hear the scream of thousand throats
From the deep darkness of their ignorance
Our hymns will be sharper than swords
Our word will be last plague of the Earth
Turn their hopes into nothing
Turn their aspirations into mourning
When mothers will devour their own infants
Comes Death of agonizing, filthy world
Horrible shrine, you will made of yourself
Behold! The fire of freed soul
Let the serpent… crawl in your mind
Be the Greatest Traitor! The fist in face of God!

Memento Mori

Among empty fields of eternity
When you are all alone and forgotten
And time seems so real to you
She is waiting with open arms
You are trembling like legs of the hanged one
In the last hour of his grey morning
Covered by the malevolent shadow
Your world is a feast in the name of her glory
She always shall be
The salt in the wound
The poison in chalice
The sharp dagger in the night
Caress your name
By million tongues of her dreadful lust
She will set you free
From the greatest weakness and ills
Like love and kindness
Like senses, compassion and mercy
With her vile smile
Let she take you away
She always shall be
With crying mother near the empty cradle
The last arrow for the warrior
The silver coin for the thief
The day of the greatest bliss
For the hollow, cursed, lifeless
What will remind of you?
There was nothing human inside, when you lived
In all hours of sorrow and misery
In all Hours of treason and backstab
Be relentless, obsessed and wild
And never ask for mercy
In all hours of sorrow and misery
In all Hours of treason and backstab
Remember love of her jealous heart
And she will take your hand in morning mist
She always shall be
Conscience of this world
Worship her splendor and might
And she will hold you in eternal glory …of her embrace

Voices from the distant, long forgotten, sullen woods
Crooked paths are leading me there through this warm august night
Something is dragging me and howling like thousand demons
Oh, it`s hard to curse the one who was cursed thousand times
Hooded figures gathered
All of them lost everything, besides Contempt
The night of joy
Hissing cauldrons of sin
In the shameless bliss
Witches and imps are dancing
Flute is playing in strange, grim tones
Matron holds the chalice, made of infant`s bones
Memories vanished in dusks
Another flame of life went out
Then just sacrifice your soul
And spit on redemption and virtue
The ones, who walk with HIM
Shall be crowned with incredible Contempt
Oh, poor wanderer
Which crossroads led you here?
In the heart of the woods
Full off sinful sounds and ancient fear

Forget your knightly honor
And join us in our ride
Burn all bridges behind you
No rules. No regrets. No lies
Forget all oaths of loyalty
And start new life with no tears
Plunder as fast, as you can
Your soul has no place for gloom and fears
Fallen knight
Your world has no end
Oathbreaker and murderer
Your fate`s in your hands
Renunciation with sneer
Live like there is no tomorrow
Recollections will turn into dust
Feel no remorse and thrilling sorrow
Fallen knight and backslider
Without conscience and virtue
Under the "holy" eyes of God
Rotting arms of death won`t catch you

High quality raw black from Brisbane. It's not lazy or boring in any way, as is often the approach to "raw". Looking forward to an EP or LP that expands on the dynamics and atmosphere present here.
