Death Undone

Waning was the hour
When diamonds in the stone
Turned to eyes of fire meant
For me and me alone
“Graft onto your being,”
Thus was the Master’s call,
“The burden of the knowledge of
The truth behind it all”
Like a moth into the flame
Like a spell unto a name
A timeless age has now begun
Antecedence, be undone
I am death undone
Reawake a golden heresy
Higher life begun
Reawake the argent crypt
Black stone saw its cleansing
In midnight’s silver mist
Raven’s eyes and mother’s cry
Crushed in a sinner’s fist
From a copper chalice
Pour cerulean flame
In the hiss mercurial
Resound the Master’s name

Mountain
05:19

|
For 300 years and 300 days
Forgotten are the silver mines
Forsaken are the graves
Delved through ageless ores
Where fortune’s favors dwell
Now purged from sight and memories
A cold deserted shell
In their midst the empty planes
Hold a spire left pristine
At its heart a promise lies
In the veils of time unseen
Hidden depth of earthen riches
And the greed that caused it all
What is left is only
The Mountain standing tall
The Mountain giveth
And the Mountain taketh its toll
The Mountain giveth
And the Mountain taketh it all
Crushing flesh and bone
In savage pact consumed
Bleeders of the granite veins
As payment now entombed
Naught but death now roams
These caverns of decay
And those who took the Mountain’s soul
Gave theirs when came the day

Sorcerer's Gate
03:37
|
|||
|
In my search for the serpent betrayed
My avarice alone left me blind
I was fool enough to enter the gate
In the sorcerer’s mind
Ancient ruins in sinister shade
Am I trapped in the throes of a dream?
Since I entered the sorcerer’s gate
I could hear them scream
“Eternal torment is what lies ahead!
Eternal Fire!” A warning from the dead
Into the sorcerer’s gate
Oh the riches I found in the crypt
Where Nadredd the serpent was slain
When I reached for the fathomless script
I felt my sanity wane
Eternal torment! With the dead I cry
Eternal fire set ablaze the sky
After all, did I truly escape
From the shadows, the kingdom forlorn?
Close my eyes, I can still see the shape
Of Nadredd the serpent reborn
Eternal torment for the serpent high
Eternal fire set ablaze the sky

To Rival The Sun
05:24
|
|||
|
Bright lady of heaven’s cope
Eternal giver of life and hope
She’s so far, yet my grasp will reach her still
Lady Sun, I challenge thee
The new master will be me
Come the dawn, my sword has gods to kill
Under her eternal eye
I must walk this path of mine
That will lead me to the blinding shore
Incandescence is her throne
It is hers and hers alone
Not a mortal worthy of her court
I rival the sun
My lady of fire
Oh, radiant one
The hour is near

Writhen Hilt recommends:
Myrtle Wreath / Myrtenkranz EP
by Grendel's Sÿster
A truly daring work of Epic Metal that is not constrained by the genre, nor does it rely on its stereotypes to bring a song forward.
go to album
“Far From Light” takes me on a journey to dark places far away in time and space, yet eerily familiar, radiating a strange serenity as if they were a long forgotten home.

David's other band. Epic Doom with clear, flowing vocals, spellbinding melodies and a lot of contrast.
