WITHERSHIN LYRICS

1. Wherein I Exalt

Spawned from the primordial infernal black
to a world of hypocritical predictions
denying the very essence of purity
oh, how blindfolded they are
their grand halls are crumbling
oh, how they falter whilst spewing lies

Excel above the throne of god
gaze down with everburning might
Cathedrals laid to ruin
the shadows whisper your name
obey or dismay

My omnipresence eclipses the sun
Foretelling!
With guile and vice they gather forces
to grow stronger, to surpass

Against the blinding light we strive
abysmal sons of night
turncoat, betray your master
the veil of grace is burnt
and all the world shall witness
the disgrace of a true idol

A spearhead in the welkin war
we prepare for the final hour

Excel above the throne of god
gaze down through the burning night
the fading voices whisper a name
evanescent, never to be remembered
never to be remembered

2. The Hungering Void

Upon this frigid heathland
this realm of the makers
a gathering of storms
unleashing, unrevealing
through countless millennia
the dead wind has blown
sweeping the plains
of worthless souls

From the bottomless maw of madness
distant echoes build to burning thunder
a gust of decay, a blasphemous stench
a sickening storm summoned to sunder
pandemonium reigns of chosen slaves
on frozen tundras of societies lost

An endless strife
An endless winter
Crows on charnel ruins
A symphony of scars

Judged by the damned
Tried by the fallen
The bringer of sombre
The hungering void

A coat of rime on corrupted sepulchres
not lost but forgotten we erase you
veneration in the face of downfall
desecration in the place of adoration
spread the patterns around
tharred signs of pyrolatry abound

Tular esina sath, Ta sacni
Ac eisi nericn vacl! Ta sacni

An endless strife
An endless winter
The hungering void
And there was nothing more
The hungering void
The hungering void
The hungering...void

3. Crossing The Threshold

Vibrating dreams
of portals in darkness
of a gate in the stars
when the circle is closed
the howling of black wraiths
Lilith reborn
now ascend to the altar
submit and change form

With unblinking eyes
in a circle of flame
beneath sacred seals
the betrayer awaits

Darkest of nightmares
Brightest of stars
Enchanting and wistful
Mistress of night

On the throne of a serpent
in the eye of the storm
reaching into the void
and corrupting the core

Anointed in blood
man and beast alike
crossing the threshold
in the flickering light
To kiss the lips
of the sightless one
mother of all abomination
Underneath desert sands
a mirage reflected
in the eyes of the damned
staring in silence
awaiting the command
surrounded she stands...
in the nothingness
above the heavens
illuminated by
the everburning black flame
