Rites of Descent |
| «From the vaults and through the rites |
| To descend into the light» |
| A procession drags forth with the strength of six |
| Escorting a coffin down to its abyss |
| By evenfall, the sound that silence yields |
| An autumnal necrology faintly whispered by funereal draughts |
| Blessings, priests and prayers |
| Nothing more than just pleasantries for living |
| Beyond death we thrust, onwards… |
| …To the only lord, the pantheon face |
| Whose lust and grace only dead may portray |
| Rise… from the vestibules of nothingness |
| Rise… past where mortal eyes see only death |
| For when the blood and body sleep… |
| Dawns the hour of the true awakening |
| When the astral urge defeats the oaken embrace of the coffin |
| «From the vaults and through the rites |
| To descend into the light of which is unborn |
| Yet which shall be born again» |
| Rise to descend… |
| Through absence of time and space |
| Where darkness prevails — world without end |
| Rise to descend from the dominance of kings |
| The lies of your heart and the power of your limbs |
| Rites of descent… Rise, rise… |
| As your blood dreams |
| Oh, the luminance revealed by the blackest deep |
| «All I own, all my soul |
| To the only lord; |
| my path winds below» |
