Lyrics Banishment - Enfold Darkness

Banishment

The King and his court have
Discovered my secret powers
And truth of my ways has escaped the dark
And made it into the light
Calling for my banishment by wizard’s fire
That day, on the fourth night
We were set to summon creatures from the abyss
But yet we were poisoned
For in our midst’s there laid a traitor
All at once ó we could not stop ó the wards and snares of light
Caught surprised by the Royal Guard ó the justice of our land
Fighting back we lost a brother to their magic spells
Weakened our powers we sought retreat ó we had lost and were surely facing hell
Banishment
The first attempt of a golden dawn had been thwarted by ignorance
No truth of my ways will ever see the light
Only darkness of minds will be
Calling for my banishment by wizard’s fire
Drug before his highness
We were martyred
All to keep himself in power
Now their works might be justified
Now within their clutches
They’ve assaulted us
To extract all information of our works
But of course ó we won’t be broken, no we won’t be broken
Warriors united ó divided we shall fall
As we enter the halls of hypocrisy
My gaze is met with yet another
Master wizard ó whose name I shall dare not speak
He serves the throne
Torture will not work
The powers that be ó they embrace, utilize pure mind extraction
Their Philosopher Stone glows as we enter the vault
Where I know they will surely cast us out to dimensions all but known
We’ve staved them off so far but we shall
Begin the dark process of their mind meld extraction
As my coven and myself ó our minds stand firmly as one
But over time my fears are beginning to be realized
As our magic ó it dissipates
Our time is short for we know that our life’s works secrets
Discovered with and by their hands ó we are done
Now faced with death I can see so clearly
We shall not escape this fate
I cannot bear this thought before me
That this is truly my end of days
The judge and jury of the Elder Council
Has sentenced us ó our time is now short
For the stone is now charging up
To dispel our spirits to doom
While our bodies will remain in a state
Of systemic fatal ruin
Artificial transgressions in place
Our powers are now null and void
For dimensional banishment has
Conquered us and delivered us into our prison
We were set to summon creatures from the abyss
But yet we were poisoned
For in our midst’s there laid a traitor?
