KRYPTOS LYRICS

1. The Mask Of Anubis

Into the depths we go
Across the astral planes
The winds of Khet blow foul
Beneath the cloak of night

Into the womb of the Nile
The blackened heart of the damned
The scarab's eyes glow black
With shades of death

Hail! O sorceress, dark mistress of Set
Bathe my soul in unholy light
Master of the spheres
Keeper of the spells
I am Anubis, The jackal head

Into the spectral void
The spiral halls of the dead
Within this sepulchure
The mask of plagues

Hail! O temptress, vile minion of Thoth
Sear my soul with infernal fire
Monarch of the ages
Guardian of the wells
I am Anubis, the jackal head.

Burn Osiris! God of the Dead
Hail Anubis! The Serpent flesh

Into the moonlit spires
Of ancient ruins past
The shifting sands of time
Bring a ritual sacrifice

Hail Nephthys! Witch mother on high
Praise Herrut! Viperian liege
Patron of the sinners
Defiler of the saints
I am Anubis, Immortal death

2. The Coils Of Apollyon

Plunge the world into chaos
Scorch the land with flames
Night descends from the heavens
Leviathan rides again

Ride the waves of sin, steer your ship of glass
Walk the path of treason; we were never built to last
Falsify existence, don the mask of shame
Unholiest of servants, we are two faced..

Gemini!

Drink the meads of malice
Dishonour is the way
Solace lost in sorrow
Leviathan flies again

Fear the luminous eye, lord of the sun, twister of life
He's blinding you
Fear the ivory sage, lord of the snakes, deceiver of light
He's blinding you

Fear the luminous eye, lord of the sun, twister of life
He's blinding you
Fear the ivory sage, lord of the snakes, controlling your mind
He's blinding you now!

3. Serpent Mage

The candles burn, the luminous eye calls your name
A whispered word, the shadows dance once again
The dragon moon, the sigil of night on your skin
Crystal claws, sacred fire, the spell is cast on poison wings

The witch's grail, a cosmic cage for mortal men
Feeble cries, a prelude to your dying breath

The tome of suns, magic spells and blackened cross
Fallen stars, golden orbs
Creation in his trembling hands

The serpent mage
Calling you again
Mocking you in death

Three horned wolves, desolate souls of worlds below
Capricorn, servant of fire, chaos steed
A trick of light, the twisted stare of sullen eyes
Crescent moons, the riddle is set in grains of sand

Hidden hands draw near
The acid touch of a million dying stars

Spinner of fate with cursed tongue, vision of the demon eye
Shape of age, spectral form, scarlet king of sacred fire
Profane beast, demon creed, brazen sage of infamy
Libertine!
Serpent mage, shadow spawn, soulless son of crimson dawn

The candles fade, the luminous eye hides its gaze
A dying hymn, the shadows wane once again
Velvet cloak, shards of grief on your skin
The pit of time, welcomes you with icy winds

The endless fall
Hounds of doom guide your path
Acheron calls
Eternal night and unseen dawn

Hidden hands draw near
The acid touch of a million dying stars

Spinner of fate with cursed tongue, vision of the demon eye
Shape of age, spectral form, scarlet king of sacred fire
Profane beast, demon creed, brazen sage of infamy
Libertine!
Serpent mage, shadow spawn, soulless son of crimson dawn

4. Nexus Legion

Tattered Flags, allegiance to the fallen sun
Raging winds, on Iron angels we fly
Gods of war, desecrate the tree of life
The eagle falls to crushing thunder on high

We are legion
Glorious death
Never surrender, we will stand against the odds
Now! We are legion
Glorious death
Fierce and proud, we will stand against the fates

Ripping fire, screaming sirens of steel
Chaos descends over fields of crimson soil
Now! As we plunge through the night, bitter glory in our eyes
Our names will live on in the sands of all time
For we are the few who must sacrifice
For victory for those who we left far behind

We are legion
Glorious death
Never surrender, we will stand against the odds
Now! We are legion
Glorious death
Fierce and proud, we will stand against the fates

Maelstroms of mortar fire below
Into the rancid jaws of hell
We fly!!!

Now! We are legion
Glorious death
Never surrender, we will stand against the odds
Now! We are legion
Glorious death
Fierce and proud, we will stand against the fates

5. Eternal Crimson Spires

Woe is the light you shine upon this barren land
Fear in the wake of these unholy blackened winds
Grief is the curse of man, your wretched fallen seed
Death by the touch of those who reign with bloody hands

Lies are the truth you speak behind your mask of sin
Greed is the world you seek in the light of day
Wrath is the staff by which you lead your flock of sheep
Pride in the loss you create with the words you say

Faith is the light that blinds this favoured holy child
Black are the eyes that see all through the dead of night
Kings made of clay sit up high on their marble thrones
Queens made of glass feed on desires bones

Hope is the sand of time that's running out on you
Blood is the scarlet wine that lieth in your cup of woe
Hell is the fate that comes with crawling icy hands
Rage is the cosmic breath that drains all you know

Heed the crimson spires, their shadows beckon you
In your mind's eye, code of eternal life
Monolith of stars - key to the endless source
Dark mother soul guards your afterlife

Now at the twilight of man
At the wall of all dreams
Lies the heart of the lord of infinite sleep

Now at the twilight of man
At the wall of all dreams
Lies the heart of the lord of infinity

Rise again fallen star
Rise again crimson spire
Rise again cursed sun
Rise again crimson spire

Now face the twilight of man
Now behold crimson spires

6. Spellcraft

A spiral force of crystal fire
Tears the flesh unborn
Illuminate my bleeding heart
With burning crowns of thorns

A forked tongue of confession
Of a serpentine decree
Enslavement of the mother soul
In black infinity

I dance with wolves tonight on circle pyres
A tribute to the void
Litany of the wretched lamb
Cower beneath my coils

Entwine the light in shadow realms
As phantoms cast their spells
Drag me from my hollow tomb
To the burning gates of hell

Scars of arcane rites
The jagged thorns of spirit flesh
Rise! Ophidian born
The scourge of man, spear of night, desolate king
I am reborn

Under eternal skies
The snakes of god uncoil

I dance with wolves tonight on circle pyres
I dance with wolves tonight on holy spires
I dance with wolves tonight on circle pyres
I dance with wolves tonight on holy liars

7. Starfall

Now that the time draws to a hand
An oracle moon peers through the veil
Charon awaits the souls of the lost
The seance begins in circles of thorns

Darkening skies, harbingers of doom
The cries of the witch shatter the night
A gathering storm, the omens align
In temples of gold we baptize our blades

Raise you blackened steel
Sound the horns of hell
When the snakes of god uncoil
The stars will fall again

A prophet appears on an altar of sin
Defiling our minds with tablets of sand
Entomb the liar in crystalline shrouds
Silence the tongue of illusion's son

Discordant hymns to the enslaver of man
A casket of bronze for the apostles of greed
Longinus soaks in the blood of the saints
The martyr falls to the spear of fate

Raise you blackened steel
Sound the horns of hell
When the snakes of god uncoil
The stars will fall again

Bow down! Treacherous angel flesh
Bow down! Twisted virgin wraith
Bow to me!

Beyond the realms of infinite time
Seraphim suns cry out in vain
Eden falls to the god of the void
Sire of Cain your destiny waits

Onwards we march through deception's gates
At the center of heaven - the codex of life
Draconian gods fall to our chains
Immortal blood, thy kingdom is mine

Raise you blackened steel
Sound the horns of hell
When the snakes of god uncoil
The stars will fall again

8. Visions Of Dis

Behold the profane sun
The center of this spinning cosmic void
The shards of life, our creators dying dust
The chasms call, churning lunar winds
Apollo's wrath, a summons to us all

When the martyr falls from grace from heaven's rusted cage
The seven moons align and the abyss flows with tears
When the fragments of all hope lie scattered in the sand
These visions I invoke shall plague the son of man

The serpents maze, the crumbling walls of gods shattered dream
The ruins of light, the last throes of man
Illusions fall, twisting cosmic black
The grand design of this godless morning star

When the martyr falls from grace from heaven's rusted cage
The seven moons align and the abyss flows with tears
When the fragments of all hope lie scattered in the sand
These visions I invoke shall plague the son of man

Bronze veils on virgin flesh
The cry of souls in Pluto's wake
A messiah comes on hooves of sin
Salvation by the serpent's touch

Awaken the realms of Dis, twirling rings of grief, fire and loss
The vortex throne, misshapen perverse lust
Empyrean coils cover the ebon sky
The jester laughs upon his crippled cross

When the martyr falls from grace from heaven's rusted cage
The seven moons align and the abyss flows with tears
When the fragments of all hope lie scattered in the sand
These visions I invoke shall plague the son of man

9. The Isle Of Voices
