Prologue

"This soil holds secrets, beyond our time.
Numinous roots unseen by the human eye.
This flesh, much like your glass of sand.
I don't soon expect a cod like you, to understand."

A Smothering Of Moths
05:37

"Befallen, this cosmic offering
She was a vessel for the stars
From the steps of his holy house
Into the wayward hands of man
Far from a blessing
The thundering silence summoned on this starless night
Mutes all but the one with purest sight
A cold that dwells beyond what you call the dark
It reaches out (forever)
Caught in the rapture of voracious desire
They dance, interwoven in perverse fire
Surrendering so swiftly to the horns
He who reaps the seed of hatred unborn
*Solo by Tom Warner*
The lies that he once feared, devoured him
Endless libation, revel in sin
Devoured him, Revel in sin!
The thundering silence summoned on this starless night
Mutes all but the one with purest sight
A cold that dwells beyond what you call the dark
It reaches out (forever)
*Solo by Ronny Lee Marks*
Our harmony with the unknown, alluring desolation
Is it the promise of cold, or the warmth of the lie
A fate beyond oblivion, we bask in our delirium
Inherited senslessness
Whispers from below
Ominous grasp from above
Rain of ash, promises unkept
Flame within - ne'er bewept
Like pearls before swine
The disgusting and divine
Let our fire be their guide
Beauty and wroth,
A smothering of moths
Our battle has just begun"

Watchers
05:34

"A cloud of laughter overcame the trees
with harlot in hand
Just the thought of their frolic, how it drove me mad
How boastful they walk
How mindless they breathe
This veil adore eternally"
"Speaking in riddles now are we
we have not the time
this harlot you speak of, i swear
has vowed to be mine"
How boastful they talk
they deceive
Blinded by reflection, they refuse to see
"We are the eyes of these parts, these woods are - a symbol of peace
this misfortune you speak of, a misfortune indeed
Dare bring your mortal tangle to his feet, dear fleshling, i think not"
"Watchers of the witching hour, what wonders we have seen
the man, the heart, the soul, your web
how quickly it unweaves"
Stumble forth, the abyss thirsts for much more of your tears than this
Rampant disgust in this realm it seems, often bleeds into dreams
*Solo by Tom Warner*
"Watchers of the witching hour, what wonders we have seen
the man, the heart, the soul, your web
how quickly it unweaves"
"Will you take my hand?
Will you follow me?
Further into the dusk
I promise you, your will is stronger than mine
In this fear, a strength you will find"
*Solo by Ronny Lee Marks*
"Steadfast delusioned one
There is much to be known
This fate, quite literally written in stone
The truth you seek is of rapturous kind
Taking it's toll, the toll - the mind"
"This is suffocating, i breathe for every word she has said
if I'm to suffer this silence
oh I'm better off, better off dead"
Stumble forth, the abyss thirsts for much more of your tears than this
Rampant disgust in this realm it seems, often bleeds into dreams.

In Darkness, In Tongues
04:54

"Adrift, amiss, my cerulean bliss
Visions of oceans once crossed
Now lost, in woeful eclipse
Sanity's unmournful kiss"
At night when im drowning for sleep
At the mercy of the perilous sea
I watch you drift away, beyond my reach
I heard a voice from beyond
Calling me the brightest pearl
I waited for you
I stood at the edge of the world
"Oh please forgive my will to burn
If i fail to cleanse it now, it will return"
"In darkness and tongues
She will speak for eons
If to these words you succumb, all will be undone"
*Solo by Ronny Lee Marks
This sudden feverish enlightment,
Will be repelled
Disheveled now this boastful opulence,
To be dispelled
*Solo by Tom Warner*
Adrift, amiss, my cerulean bliss
Visions of oceans once crossed
Now lost, in woeful eclipse
Sanity's unmournful kiss
At night when im drowning for sleep
At the mercy of the perilous sea
I watch you drift away, beyond my reach
I felt the grasp from beyond
Of dreadful dimensions obscure
This house cradles the madness of sickness uncured
"Oh please remember, All hearts turn to dust
And where the wind takes then, matters not to us"
Into the den, where the sheep tend to herd themselves
What lies past it's wretched doors
Faces laden with ancient temptation
A siren - ashore

Dear Esther
04:11
|

Beyond the mist, across the lake, hidden inside
Waters claimed a smile that no dark could hide
"Dear Esther, we've come to speak to you tonight
Please lend us your voice, if you'd be so kind
The cries that haunt these trees, they're not of my kin
What happened that day near the river bed?
Their echoes growing louder, I wish it wasn't so
Was this a miracle, or a winter burial?
Oh why do these thoughts perplex me?
Such tragic words fall upon my ears, they beg for mercy
As if being torn from the womb of a whore"
Beyond the mist across the lake, hidden inside
This chamber of smothering light
"Upon this hollowed ground, countless fools have grieved
This place gives me the creeps, like you wouldn't believe
Upon this hollowed ground, countless fools have grieved
Blood is in the oak, tears soak the leaves"
"The king of sorrow, I've come for his crown
His petty sufferings, unpronounced
Twas a love of seasons
This taste of treason sorely sought
By the mouth of a heathen
with serpent-like tongue"
Threads chaotically aligned
Not unlike the noose
Deplorable minuet
A darker silhouette
*Solo courtesy of Fredrik Norrman*
Dear Esther can you hear them wallowing tonight?
Oh how their ears heed in guiltless delight
