DARK FORTRESS LYRICS

1. The Silver Gate

[Music: V Santura, Lyrics: Morean]

Awake, angels of lunacy,
Arise, avatars of chaos,
Incinerate yourselves,
In the blaze of Babylon,
Hierophants of the Hurricane,
We invoke the Eidolon.

Unleash the storm...

We renounce the sin,
Of mortal fallacy,
Bestow upon us,
Our stellar legacy.

Peel the benighted shells,
From our radiant cores,
We obey the laws,
Of finitude no more.

Ascend...
In Akasha to Procreate.
Strip the flesh from your soul,
Extend...
Open the Silver Gate...
Melt yourself beyond all control.

Give birth to the vision,
Let enter the voice,
And dare not falter,
Lest the demons eat you.
Confide in your Nuit,
Never your senses.

Nine apparitions,
The nails of Yod,
Drip from the moon
As unhallowed blood,
Anubis' terror to feed you,
As the night condenses.

Ascend...
In Akasha to Procreate.
Strip the flesh from your soul,
Extend...
Open the Silver Gate...
Melt yourself beyond all control.

In poisoned aberration,
Tarnished minion abide,
Convocating execrations,
To drown and smother, to divide.

Recline, Rejoice,
Discard the body,
And savour this, your threnody,
Divine by lust alone,
And second skin,
As the eyes turn to stone,
Let the heave begin!

Azazel!
Shemhazai!
Rejoin your kin in faith and fate!

Heed not the warnings,
We invoke the manyfold
Ny-Ar-Rut-Hotep
For we know,
There is no peace at the gate,
There is no peace at the gate...

Ascend,
In Akasha to procreate,
Strip the flesh from your soul,
Extend, open the Silver Gate,
Melt yourself beyond all control,
In Akasha to procreate,
Disembodied, unfettered souls,
Open the Silver Gate,
We embrace the stars
With twin black holes

2. Cohorror

[Music: Asvargr, Lyrics: Morean]

Petrified,
In sleep paralysis,
Swallowed by
Nightmare cataclysms,

Cohorror builds it's temple in me,
Erecting hydric elevations,
Under my cataleptic skin,

(... Dreaming and dead... still howling defiance...)

Even in this gruesome revelation,
The bottom drops from abyssal unreality,

Wrenching revulsion,
Cracks my skull, kills me again,
I know this epiphany,
Wearing my own face...
Who are you...?

Cohorror has laid it's eggs in me,
Parasitic larvae from beyond existence,
Raven the remnants of my decaying humanity.

This gnostic burst repels,
All life to unbeing, the essence of death,
Transmogrifies all,
To the pitiless laughter of the birthless.

"How resilient
Not to choose to flee,
Rather be
Consumed by us..."

"You have a name,
Long forgotten by men and their gods,
Eat my soul if you will,
But impart yourself."

"In your worlds,
We cannot be known,
There's no Here
For us to ever be."

"If you desire so,
To blindly see,
Seek the path,
That leads through the Eidolon."

Bedevilled
Into unearthly perplexity,
Frozen in horror,
My countenance stares back at me.

3. Baphomet

[Music: Asvargr, V Santura, Seraph, Lyrics: Morean]

Surge, Baphomet!

Born from shade and undead desire,
In the glade, a secret fire...
Hidden from time and sin,
Ardent gods stir again,

Surge, Baphomet!
Grant me Anathema,
Purge me, Baphomet!
From worlds in denial!

Through demise and desecration,
In disguise, dwells the Lord of Ecstasy,
Defies the lie, of divine castration,
Claims his prize, the awoken few's apostasy...

Intoxicate me with ambrosia,
Thawed on mother nature's button,

Legs of lust, moist and spread,
Scythe of death, poised, agog.

If the Why
Rears his head,
Let him die
Like a dog.

Surge, Baphomet!
Grant me Anathema!
Purge me, Baphomet,
From worlds in denial...

Expectorate me into infinity,
I thirst for the obsidian venom,
Of the boundless sea of space,

"You summon me,
In childish play and insect time,
I am devoid of pain,
But I can take you there
And beyond, if this be your wish."

"Come with me ... And I show you the glow of inverted stars,
Come with me ... And burn in the furnace of inverted vision,
Come with me ... And there will be no more Me for the You to follow,
Come with me ... I am in awe of the extent of your ignorance,
Come with me ..."

"Since the dawn of guilt, my path has changed,
Last of the Nephilim, I have lingered in the seclusion,
Of wood and fear..."

"Uncaring for your woe,
For I am a god of pleasure,
I will not shed a tear
On your perished spirit,
When you return."

4. The Unflesh

[Music: V Santura, Lyrics: Morean]

Simian moths in search,
Of metanoia and illuminance,
Exuberant dismay they will reap,

Condemnation decomposes sanity
Through inhumanity and putrification,
A plunge towards hopeless, dismal death.

Another pawn has taken the fall,
A mind unsound and rotted,
Put him up against the wall,
Along with the tortured, the raped,
And the gutted.

The unflesh is burning...

And when the shell of mortal breath has ruptured,
When existence has been wiped
Off the portal of perception,
When, freed of shape or heart,
Anon succumbs to life-defying rapture,
At last, the truth be shown.

And the deprivation has just begun,
Unseen chasms of perdition await,
The very fabric of the soul comes undone,
Never to abate, the gulf digests them one by one...

The unflesh is burning...

And when the shell of mortal breath has ruptured,
When existence has been wiped
Off the portal of perception,
When, freed of shape or heart,
Anon succumbs to life-defying rapture,
At last, the truth be shown.

5. Analepsy

[Music: V Santura, Lyrics: Morean]

To grim horizons, the I escapes,
The body broken, a hapless shape.
Thanatos rising, from Eros' womb,
From life awoken, my carnal tomb

Soon now... or never.

Amorphous angels eerily sing,
A glaring promise of deliverance,
From devastation and suffering,
Spark faint illusions of omnipotence.

Come, Analepsy,
Unmake me...
Take me away...
Analepsy,
Unbreak me...

My soul is gone, my mind is charred,
There's not much left, to be redeemed,
The storm has blown my Self to shards,
I drift, bereft of death or dream.

Soon now... or never.

Amorphous angels eerily sing,
A glaring promise of deliverance,
From devastation and suffering,
Spark faint illusions of omnipotence.

Come, Analepsy,
Unmake me...
Take me away...
Analepsy,
Unbreak me...

With broken eyes, I turn to stone,
Derelict, dissolved, I fade, alone...

The vision dies in a void beyond measure,
Unabsolved, the decrepit ruined temple of all pleasure.

6. Edge Of Night

[Music: V Santura, Lyrics: Mina, Morean]

Lethean crevasses magnetized,
Inebriate the fallen,
Forebode the Edge of Night,

In absence,
Discovery of luscious pain,
Volcano hushed,
Boiling licks, sculpting memories,
Merciless hand,
Lacerating to Devour.

Ever-seeing, sleepless drug,
Atramentous,
Atomise,
Forgetful, shunned by perjuring light.
Walking asleep,
The core hungered, deprived.

Asleep,
Lost the light of day.

At the borders of emptiness,
The dusk of debauched desire's seizure,
Revealed, on nadir enthroned,
A ceraunoscopic spectre,
A pulsing sclera wants me, spewing faces,
From her hideous nidus at the edge of night.

Severed limbs,
Jolting in spasms,
Convulsing to connect,
To lobotomized phantasms,

Asleep,
Lost the light of day.

7. No Longer Human

[Music: V Santura, Lyrics: Morean]

Open the Aethyr with a creak like a quake,
And a hiss of newborn stars,
There is division, hither, homeward,
We call to life, the Anti-Janus,

The anti-door that splits the mirror,
We call to death, the inertia of incarnation,
Twirling the vortex, our gazes, hermetic,
Shall cause the tide of time to rip.

No longer morphically crucified,
Devour the form of all life,
In their star-engulfing grip.

Twin gaping black holes,
Consume your flesh,
In a halo of flaring, spinning worlds,

No longer human,
Your eyes are transcending,
The cortex of your burning soul,

Deep in the heart of Uroboros,
Rectificando Invenies Clavem Occultam,
Unmake all doors,
Let life and death be one,

Plunge with me,
Into the sixth dimension,
Embodied in us,
The phase-space of all life at once,

Twirling the vortex,
Our gazes spawn novas,
Have caused the void of space to rip,

No longer morphically crucified,
Devour the form of all life,
In their star-engulfing grip,

Born from our fire,
The shape of all death at once,

Twin gaping black holes,
Consume your flesh,
In a halo of flaring, spinning worlds,

No longer human,
Your eyes are transcending,
The cortex of your burning soul...

8. Catacrusis

[Music: V Santura, Lyrics: Morean]

Sparked by sentience in me,
Immense, the globed sky,
Marked by death in life,
The We hatches from the I,

Seek thee in me, find me in thee,
Izzu Tahuti, bearing Horus transfigured,

Catacrusis...
Metanova hurled down the dimensions,
Catacrusis...
Raving madness only to the profane.

Immanent transcendence,
Bearing down, I bring the fire,
The misguided shrouded,
In blissful nescience,

Seek thee in me, find me in thee,
Izzu Tahuti, bearing Horus transfigured...

Transcendent imminence,
Bearing down, I bring the fire,
My corpse awaits,
The universe my grave...

Catacrusis...
Metanova hurled down the dimensions,
Catacrusis,
Raving madness only to the profane.

9. Antiversum

[Music: Seraph, V Santura, Lyrics: Morean]

Condensed anew,
Into unspeakable immortal coil,
Malkuth is trembling, lies askew,
Before the end of all mortal toil,

Reborn by the vastness,
Of the Outer Pandemonium,
Spawned by all the ungods lurking,
Defiled by the Genesis,

Deliver me,
And I shall wrench the world wide open,
For the coming of Elysium,
In the dawning unlight,
I shall walk the earth,
As your Messiah, your Nemesis...

Hiscat Barathrum,

Antiversum, Cohorrescent Corpora Mea
Antiversum, Reverto ut frendeam orbitem terrarum,

From behind the glass,
In dimensions long cast aside,
I see a shape, familiar yet forgotten,
Mummified in space and time,
Lifeless, rotten...

Antiversum, Cohorrescent Corporea Mea,
Antiversum, Reverto ut frendeam orbitem terrarum,

Legions of nightmares flank my side,
The mirror bursts like an eggshell,
I emerge, black furnace in the flesh,
To bring the end of all continuum,

Antiversum, Cohorrescent Corpora Mea,
Antiversum, Reverto ut frendeam orbitem terrarum.
