CHARNEL WINDS LYRICS

1. Part I - Fiery Teth

Verily,
This is where was granted the flame
In the feet of the ophite statues
Under the forbidden fruit's numinous fragrance
With fervour, with words of devotion
I drink deep from the grail of blood and taste the divine madness

So I keep returning to the most sacred heart
Drawn by the winds of melancholy and their songs of this division
Driven by the thrashing serpent longing to be unbound.

And here contemplate the flame and shadow
See them entwine
There is no refuge from the great black time
It must all burn to ashes

Descend with the scarab to the cthonic labyrinths below
Seek within the womb and kill thyself once more
Oh, then to see the dawn emerge with the scarab over these ruins
Such beauteous self-immolation under the black sun
Throughout the cycle, reverse the poison until there is naught but trance-end-dance.

[By Shining Amanita]

2. Part II - The Black Temple

In the black temple mysteries unveil
Arise with the third,
O' disciples of the true living god

Engravings on the walls,
Veins opened to receive the calls,
Those of an ever-bleeding heart

O' sun-serpent, thou wind-fire
Thy fiery crest is a funeral pyre,
For the one who in the desert lies chained
Arise, O' kaos dragon
The source of my ray you are
The deaths cardinal I faced

Verily, thy altar shall face west,
And be set a flame at dawn

The nature of your sacred god,
Is summoned and revealed,
In a view over cracked moonlight seal
Where the great mothers work continues.
Endlessly....

[By Shu-Ananda]
