BLACKTHORN LYRICS

1. Immortelle For A Hollow Grave (Intro)

The cold voice of the tempest,
It makes me run away
There's something bittersweet
And true in the air this day
At long last I can whirl round
With fallen xanthic leaves
Unite with birds of passage and fly above the trees

(The) stories that must flash out
With a pulsing aorta of (the) sky
And then must turn to ashes
I kiss them all goodbye
The rotten lips taste divine,
Can't explain to you why
The last pain pierces my heart
I laugh and deeply cry

And stunning is the black-eyed thicket
And the swamped grass,
Not a human, not a god yet,
Come, veni foras!
And stunning is the black-eyed thicket
And the swamped grass,
Not a human, not a god,
Mother, veni foras…

2. Edenbeast

Martyr, martyr with a lambent halo,
Are there shadows in heaven's garden?
The most deviant,
Perfect creation
Of our thoughts
In the Universe

The tauricornous behind the headboard
Whispers bloodcurdling stories
My beast friend,
Scratch me to bleed
Dig out (me)
An' drag me out

Beast within, come out and show your true aspect,
Edenbeast

The apple-tree was purified,
The snake was expelled, but you are still here
Hang me from branches,
Between these atrous leaves
This is the best
Deodate for your shrine!

An angel with a flaming sword exiles them
And we go to the dusky side
Our yearning eyes
Penetrate the night

3. Necromance

Here I came not
from the sloughs
But from your stray soul!

Ingredients: thorn apple, verbena, rosemary,
Dragon's blood, mandrake and foxglove
O darken mirrors, guide me through the labyrinth
Show me The One I detest!

I appeared to cover you,
Torment all night long
This is my craving!

Implore help from heaven to enliven thy sin,
Tear my strings, drink my tears.
Smiling, I continue to burn you
And with the wind I'll kantikoy on thy bones

I'm powerless inside the oneiric
Fall asleep by drowning in my own bed
But I always break the chains of diablerie
End the necromance, leave me be,
This is my will, so shall it be

For darkness thou art, and unto darkness shalt thou return

I'll lick your neck
To reopen those two wounds

Our first kiss was thrilling, the second one poisoned me
and forever stigmatized my heart
Owl light, modena water, overthrow the beast
Into the depths of Sheol

I'm powerless inside the oneiric
Fall asleep by drowning in my own bed
End the necromance, leave me be
This is my will so shall it be

4. The Moon Emerged From Behind Clouds

As aeons pass by
Its wisdom slowly grows,
As nights come in
She fears and blames herself…

The moon emerged from behind clouds

Catch me in your moon web,
Lead me above your land,
Crown me with the welkin
The best friend's hungry grin,
Cadaverous marsh child…
...My fantasies make me wild!

The poet-boy vows to make her dance again
His words are hallowed by an amaranth

For the moon emerged from behind clouds
Watch its amber eye,
Behold its mantic light

The telarian-Queen from the tower longs for blood
I trembled before my own imagination

Black owls silently soar
This blooming twilight - my magic delight
Blind knight and princess found
Each other in the dark forest

When the phantasm puts its
hand on my shoulder,
Inside me the dream is born
The brumal and
Stellate stray child…
…My fantasies make me wild!

For the moon emerged from behind clouds
Watch its amber eye,
Behold its mantic light

5. Saturnia

The sad, saturnine bride
And a starless, hollow night
This sardonic smile of the moon
like a gibe for my ruth

Look at me, what do you see?
There's no religion for me
I don't belong nor to this
World, nor the afterlife

Within his nightpiece I finally found rest
My immortal Master is all I request
God, grant me death tо appreciate my life
and grant me repentance to taste delight

Be careful, don't break my thin
Stone-cold, porcelain skin
See the abyss in my eyes
like a sleep of paradise

Leave your weary shell
You don't know… So go to hell!
Love displaces everything,
Redeems any sin

… O, this way will be starrified
Sable steeds, argent light…

Within his nightpiece I finally found rest
My immortal Master is all I request
God, grant me death tо appreciate my life
and grant me repentance to taste delight

6. Blackthorn Winter

Let there be cold, doom and dark!
The ground's barren, the trees are stark
Let there be blizzard an' mist!
Wake up, carnivorous beast!

Consume the needless, tear the weak
Run more quickly, prowl an' seek
I strike my staff upon the ground,
Nothing living shall be found

My fierce white hounds, with eyes of red
Howl through the night, a paean to the dead
Astromancy let me know
That tonight someone will be reborn

O, wind that rages all night long,
Wrap the maid and sing her a song
Oh, my Great Sloe! Lull the forlorn
By your mortiferous thorn!

Open your chest towards me
An' venesect your veins, for art
Will live in thee

You're what must winter

Permafrost will kiss your aching scores,
Thou will sense tenebrose force

You're what must winter

Her solitude is a sign
Of powers beyond a lifetime
These tears never will dry
But inspire you to try

Neomenia! Somber hecatomb!
Make a shelter in my gloom
Take this thorn into your heart,
Sleep, while it grows your part

The spine inside me,
It leads me away
But keeps me for a following day

You're what must winter,
Lustrate at this night

7. The Blackness I Prowl

I'm a breath of hazy dells,
And my name is violence
Toxemia inflames me
As midnight draws near,
Don't call me
Oh don't call me

It was a windy blue even,
Under the leafless tree they met
She kissed the man's brow and laced
Her slight arms around
His waist

«Now monsters fierce and fell
In this shady forest dwell
On human blood and flesh they feed,
Wolfish form assume at need
So it's too dangerous to meet here!»

I prowl beneath the whispering clouds

Hatred, desperation, loneliness,
Excitement, fear and a challenge

See, the sun has sunk from sight,
Left the world to a hungry night

The beast that you fear is here
Share the same blackness with me
The Blackness we prowl

8. Gossamer Witchcraft

Mossy velvet of the marble grave is my delight
I don't believe that she is dead
(she's waiting for the night)
I know she returned to the woods
To join her wolfish friends
In the ivy grove I see her face,
Those snow-white hands…
Her naked body's robed in ice web,
Spangled with blood,
Blessed by The Necronomicon
She sold her scarlet heart
Frostwork, it slowly writes her name
She's an infinite nightmare
The midnight romance of witches
Is seen through gossamer…

At the crossroads of twilight,
the love is coffined,
truth is striding
upon fields of endless blight
These arrows have sunk deep inside
Reminding the way he used to lay with me,
His bride...

To the forest heart,
To the altar of last wish
That whitest trampled lily
Is buried beyond you

Where were you when it took my hand,
when he ordered me to stand,
stuffed me with sand?!
And now, when all the angels die
Do you have something to remember me by?

From desires to freedom
Come to me my worthless slave,
Not to be my cross,
But to feed my erotic

Aditum nocendi perfido praestat fides

Yield to temptation,
Yield to your weird dreams
You know we can
Fall aye

The kiss hides a bite,
Caress covers embrace of death
Within your feelings
You doomed yourself

From the forest's heart,
Away from the succub's feast
…Dew on this gossamer
is only dew

9. Will-O'-The-Wisp

Crystal strings of a stream
Flow under the moon's smile
Forward an' heavenward,
Far away

Will-o'-the-wisp knows its way,
It levitates through sleepy, pacificatory pall
And she weeps bitter tears at a crucifix on a wall

For she does not know
It won't evanesce
In this aerial last quest

Try to overcome your pain,
You know, my God comes through my deepest wounds
My path is unknown but no matter where I go, I'll be with you

Crystal strings of a stream
Flow under the moon's smile
Forward and heavenward,
We'll meet one day
Your eyes are gazing upon mine,
When you are out of sight
My fingertips are touching the line;
Separating night
My time has come!
Your wetless mouth keeps on begging for more,
But my heart's left this clammy place
And can return no more

10. The Cobweb Veils Fall Down With Grace (Outro)

[Instrumental]
