LYRICS:
Destruction of the stone cairn
The passage was disturbed
Ancient stones stolen away
From the neolithic tomb
A grave monument to terror
Standing still erect
A grave monument to terror
By the labor of a ghosty architect
Sworn to the black
They pledged their souls to him
Sworn to the black
Seven years hence
Sworn to the black
His seat is always open
Sworn to the Black
His hand is always waiting
The owner in his fortress
Nightly does he stalk the halls
Moving through the dark
His swarthy eyes
Sunken deep in shadow
One night he failed to notice
A stranger within the walls
It’s presence unannounced
It moved in silence down the hall
In the heart of the lodge
The owner’s fair daughter
Writhing in her chamber
Succumbing to
Nightmare terror
She awoke
To the sound of the dawn
She awoke
To the sound of the dawn
Silent
In it’s truth
Purity begone
Defiled
In her sleep
The flowers
In her garden
wilt and weep
A child of the night
Born upon the witching hour
With eyes foretold of horrors
Disgusted by it’s existence
Her father shut them in the walls
The infant’s mummified corpse
Laid low behind the mantle
The golden dawn
Lay within her arms
The golden dawn
Lay within her arms
Sworn to the black
They pledged their souls to him
Sworn to the black
Seven years hence
Sworn to the black
His seat is always open
Sworn to the Black
His hand is always waiting
Practitioners of black magic
Gathered round within the walls
Drunken merriment and folly
Sadistic rituals
Desecration of the Bible
Perverse acts of brutal violence
Black cats watch sitting idle
Ritualistic sacrifice
A chime for those poor souls strikes thrice
Ritualistic sacrifice
Virgins baptized by the fire
Their bodies bound to the pyre
Black mass
Held in his name
Demonic
Prowess grows in power
Lightning
Illuminates the sky
Shining in the void
Cracked open wide
A man arrived
Cloaked in shadow
Gilded coins in hand
He joined them at the table
Deceiver of the land
One man went flush
His fallen card upon the floor
While outstretched his gaze was struck
Two hooves below the strangers core
A wicked laugh bellowed forth
Let loose ablaze of fire light
The ceiling overhead
Torched blacker than starless night
