Lyrics The Bandar Sign - Nocturnus AD

The Bandar Sign

There is a symbol in history, that was one of three
The others could be used alone, but one must never be shown
For if seen with the naked eye, your soul will eternally die
Visions of the Mad Arab, the three seals of Masshu
A ritual being performed
Priests of Nar Marratu conjuring great Kutulu from Sunken Varloorni
The Bandar Sign
The space, between the lines
The Bandar Sign
From the tree behind
Conjuring the fire god, Lord of The Watchers
Who dwell in ancient Ur
Three symbols on a stone, glowing flaming red
Gate to the outside
The Bandar Sign
The space, between the lines
The Bandar Sign
From the tree behind
The gate walking ritual begins
Shedding their human skin
Dressed in black hooded robes
Their faces began to glow
Chanting their ancient prayers
These evil soothsayers
In a language quite unknown
Their silver tongues shown
Chanting ancient lines
Waving gleaming knives
The stone began to rise
Underneath the floating stone arose a mighty stench
Appears a serpent’s tail
As it slithers from the hole, followed by many others
The ground began to tremble
The priests chanting hysterically as they cut into their chests
As their blood flows to the ground
Seeing this in horror and letting out a scream
Now I have been seen
Interrupting their ritual, their eyes fell upon me
Sealing my fate (Sealing my fate)
As I ran into the night, I stumbled and fell
And turned to fight
As I looked all around, just robes on the ground
No bodies could be found
All that remained were piles of slime, no other trace could I find
Was this all in my mind?
All in my mind
