TRIBULATION LYRICS

1. The Lament

Broken the bones lie scattered
Dimly the torch is lit
There's a snake coiling inside of you
There's a reek that you emit
Reachinh down through the layers of flesh
It grabs you by the throat
Falling down it's hard to breathe
Scornfully dancing on your grave

Would we see you if you came to us?
No never to see your face
Never to find a way back
Would we see you cum nimbus
If you came to us?
No never to see your face
Never to find a way back

Holy
Holy
Holy was the way
She was justified by all her children
But never here to stay
Saturn broods, Saturn knows
He is shown to us
But we mourn
We mourn the death of Sophia

Would we see you if you came to us?
No never to see your face
Never to find a way back

In a world of drought I've got nothing to say
Blindfolded and mute
Night is day
Sanctum
Sanctum
Sanctum
Travel through the maze, navigate well

Would we see you
Would we see you if you came to us?
If you came to us?
If you came, if you cum for us
Never to see your face
No never, never to find a way back

2. Nightbound

On the borders
On the brink of lies
I set off firm in resolve
Down the valley of twilight to search
For something lost
In timeless dusk
Dreams unfold
In the backwood's mist
Of sacred memories untold
Two worlds collide
Disturbance in the flow of time
The sky splits apart
Commands me to surrender
And part from the light

Profound sadness
Humbled and cast down to the ground
As lightning strikes me down
Nightbound

I remember, I remember who we are
And the long night comes with grace
Demons of stone arise
To evoke new birth
While sorrows past
Sinks into the earth

Profound sadness
Humbled and cast down to the ground
As lightning strikes me down
Nightbound

I remember, I remember who we are
And the long night comes with grace

Dying is the first and last
But nothing ever ends
Crying, slipping from this world
To be reborn again

3. Lady Death

In the moonlit splendor of the night we move
Transcendent fire reflects in her eyes
In a violent burst of power
Through the mass' dreadful sounds
I dance with the godess
While the earth shakes in its grounds

Beautiful and severe
Graceful yet fierce
Lady Death
Black Madonna
Release your unbridled rage upon my soul

Terrible, majestic
Her love runs deep through time
Destroy my mind
Dear child of the ancient night
In the depths of your mystic darkness
I must die

Beautiful and severe
Graceful yet fierce
Lady Death
Black Madonna
Release your unbridled rage upon my soul

4. Subterranea

Dolorous
Lifeless in her gaze
Blank reflection a memory merged with the haze
Rabid, in fervor
You brought it here
From deep pits of woe and dismay
From the chasm that opens in us
In the festering wound where death holds sway

Deep down black rivers flow
Fissures in the stone
Down below
Down there the tide is slow
In eternities alone
Down below

It brought us here to this shadowy place
Where there's naught to do pray
Out of time's the time
Fallen from grace
The bells chime
To carry my curse away

Deep down black rivers flow
Fissures in the stone
Down below
Down there the tide is slow
In eternities alone
Down below

5. Purgatorio

6. Cries From The Underworld

Our beating hearts
Drive us down
Down to the deepest foundation of life
In nature's womb
Creation's ground, in chaos
Where the secret key of the all lies concealed

Blessed darkness
Shadow of earth
Lost and abandoned
By our time
Your secret ground
Your sacred ground
Ever reaching down

What is secretly perceived is made clear
My hand is but a tool of another farther located sphere
The chthonic spirit's wailing
Beckons from to the other side
From the bridge of dark somber realms
To the world of man

Blessed darkness
Shadow of earth
Lost and abandoned
By our time
Your secret ground
Your sacred ground
Ever reaching down

7. Lacrimosa

Shining starlike
Luminous like a ghost
Homeward bound
Back through the deeps and out
Translucent skin so pale and cold
This image reflects the doubt
But time itself is told

In the hollows deep and wide in the depths forever more
I'll bewail you and all of those before

Your place is here in all the things foretold

Forever remember, never to forget
Those tears of quartz, perpetual
Chrysolite, jasper and agate
But time itself is ol

In the hollows deep and wide in the depths forever more
I'll bewail you and all of those before
Lacrimosa
Sancta mater dolorosa
Black wings of death unfold

Reunited and returned
To the black womb of the abyss
Back in time
Back to the shadowy lands of old

8. The World

Ailing cries
Astray in time
Concrescence
The burning essence
The end summons
The four corners of our souls
The Mother
A bridge to the Other
March into the mandala
The World, the eternal whole
Concrescence

9. Here Be Dragons

Gliding through the phantom landscape
The place forlorn of hope
I saw her standing there, pallid in skin
Lifeless and ready to elope
Closing in on her like a shadow sweeping
I bowed and I took her by the hand
Under the starless sky
Awake but sleeping
Grievously seduced by the damned
Enter your final hour
Feel the cold, the demon's touch
The cosmic order now profoundly disturbed
In a moment's over shadowing of the light

Here be dragons
Here be death
Here be the sombre that have felt the Devil's breath
Don't you hear the distant howling of the wolf?

Death comes slow to you eternally
Over oceans of time inexorably
'Cause you'll feel, you'll feel the power
For the blood is the life
Undead
Unhallowed
Unclean

Here be dragons
Here be death
Here be the sombre that have felt the Devil's breath
Here be dragons
Here be death
Here be the sombre that have felt the Devil's breath
Don't you hear the distant howling of the wolf?

10. Come, Become, To Be

A scream brakes the silence
Emerging from the deep
Banshee draped in shadows
Her darkness lives inside of me
Skeletal hands
A nightmare's embrace
Spectral and elusive
The wilderness in her I praise

Flickering lights of an underground thunder

Breathing down my neck

Come, become, to be
Conveyor of secrets
Your will be done

One will become the many when the two have become one
Take me in to be purified
And travel outside of time
Cross the abyss to the other side
To the moon in my heart
My soul, unite
Flickering lights of an underground thunder
Breathing down my neck
Come, become, to be
You are the thunder
The perfect mind
Drink my blood
I am your sacrifice
You are the all, you are the flame
You are the whole that comes together
Haunting the liberation of mind
The soul in unity unbound
