AKHLYS LYRICS

1. Somniloquy

Oh, bleak muse
Speak now through me
The speech of dreams
My somniloquy
Dream, dream, dream
Dream of the night
That sees
That speaks
That shines!
Dream, dream, dream
Dream of the darkness
That seeks
That seethes
With terror divine!

And guide my soul
As the night bird born
Upon Deimosian winds
Through the Gate of Horn

Dream, dream, dream
Dream of the dead
That stir
Awaken
And rise!

Dream, dream, dream
Dream of the daemons
Of absence
And void
Where my night bird flies

To join in dread
And Eros forlorn
Wed I with Other
From dusk 'til morn

In the Devil's Hours
When the place of slumber
Becomes the wasteland of dreams
There in the absence you appear
Suspended above me in silence
Casting Death's Eye upon me
You still my form
And draw out the night bird from within me
To fly upon winds of terror and ecstasy

Oh, bleak muse
Speak now through me
The speech of dream
My somniloquy

2. Pnigalion

From the strangled breath
Of my bodies' corpse-like repose
I was reborn on wings of Death
And from that gasp arose
To alight on winds Tartarean
Across the gulfs of Erebos
In flight declined Hesperian
To the throne of Icelos
As Noctua I flew to seek
As dread and sacral bird
To pluck the eye with beak
And steal the sacral word
The true-sworn name of Daemon
The Secret hidden within the Lie
Unknown by priest of layman
And learned that name was I...

As naught is the aspect of the one
Who comes before me
Naught is the name of the one
Who resides within me
Adorn me with twain minded mask Of Janus
Oh, Gatekeeper
Ceremented in paradox
Sable on shadow
I see you!
Radian in waves of darkness
Black static scintillations
Cascading abyss
Drown me in madness
Furoris divinales
Raise me from my flesh
As you awaken the Son of Pan
Within me
Sardonic Mask of Night
Beneath which is no-thing
Nous of the Void
Form-changer
Shade shifter
Syrinx Piper of Death's Silence
Ceremented in paradox
Shadow of Midnight

3. Succubare

Nymph of Mother Night
Shining in darkness
Specter of Her fury
Daughter of the Black Moon
In dire conubium
Double formed
Author of mania
I incite thee
As we rise lunatic
In conjubilant dread
A sermon spoken in the silent tongue of Death
Whose wisdom is terror
A terror that opens
The vistas of Night Divine
Oh, Shepherdess of the Abyss
You have led me
And there is nowhere
I have not been

4. Ephialtes

Soriktis Nox!
Soriktis Nox!
Accessum – recessum!
Accessum – recessum!

Soriktis Nox
Shepherd of Midnight
Soriktis Nox
Lanternarius of Dark-light

And here I lie
Celebrant of my own terror
Accessum – recessum
The Laughing Self-enchanter

Breathe in!
Breath out!
I exhale thee!
Oh, my Black Geminus
Rise up!
Bow down!
Come before me!
And king me with terror's crown

And you are my mirror
Silent echo of the Nightside Soul
Emissary of the Dreaming Darkness
Pierce me with the gaze of Algol

Take me below
This terror extolled
Raise me upon madness
That throne of old

Bestower of panic
Father of All-fright
Ecstatic mad furor
Clothed in midnight

Breathe in!
Breathe out!
I exhale thee!
Oh, my Black Genesis
Rise up!
Bow down!
Come before me!
And king me with terror's crown

Soriktis Nox!
Accessum – recessum!
Soriktis Nox!
Accessum – recessum!

5. Incubatio

Above me
The stars scream in silence
Withdrawing from the Gorgon's Eye
Below me!
Below me!
Calling me down and down
The Syrinx wails in darkness

Yet I have sacrificed
Self to Self
Yet I have fed
Self to the Dreaming Gods
I have become Incubo!
And my aspect is horror
Her dreadful piping
Awakens the shadow within me
In conjugal madness
Seed the Death's Head Womb
Of all succubi
Before the mare-headed queen

Drawn unto Phigalian Darkness
The rider becomes the steed
By way of the sinister will
A shadow formed in dream
Reborn as a Son of the Night
Terrible, wild and free!

Nameless with a thousand names
Formless with a thousand forms
Yet I name you my queen
And take you as concubine
Gorgo!
Incubo!
Syrinx!
Combined now as one
I have become
Prince of Three Dreaming Worlds
I am within you all!
