Carnifex Songtext

von Noctes

With ebony-feathered wings through the dark I fly
I am the night-spirit
Like a shade upon the star-spangled sky
Alone, like a voyager of dreams unknown
I fly away through the shimmering moonlight
I ride the frozen winds of twilight until the end of time

The sun has fallen from the sky, into a roaring sea of blood to drown
Never again to spread its tainted light, upon the flooded shores of Eden
Never more will the sun arise from the horizon
All is dark and silent

My raven eyes, like astral fire, beholds the desolate lands below
I feel the pulse of nocturnal wisdom within my heart

Enrobed in black above the meadows of Eden
The moon reflects upon my somber wings

So endless dark, the aeons to come will be
I soar into another dream
I am as one, with the night that burns in me

From the gardens of stars a carillion serenade, invites me to the twilight, invisible, ballet
Dancing with ghosts I darkly parade, as a shade in their grotesque act of masquerade
Behind a smile of revelation I hide, under the cloak of time
I'm the misanthropic messiah in disguise, from the shadows to rise

The drencher divine
A deluge from my celestial skies
Spattered in blood, my angels I deign to drown
Dei gratia Carnifex

Another dream, from sinister tongues, whispers crawls in me
The vast is thine without form, and void
All is calm
Beneath my wings the plain lies dead and silent
Another dawn, a new beginning
Another breath before the dark
