Lyrics To Dare the Tower - Ofermod

To Dare the Tower

Shroud of seven black
Hand that drowns the night
Rulers of the realm infernal
I dare to call your might
By seven voices in a choir of one
Lord of night eternal
Mephisto!
Mephisto!
Alchemy of the red in the black
Flee the light, emanation reverse
Sliver of the light of Sorath
In your shadow I shine… I shine!
Lepaca Mephistopheles, ho Nox, ho Niger
Lightning strikes the tower
A star begins to shine
In solitudes into the void of space
Four keys to unlock the spire
And here, liberated of all my lore
A fool I stand, no wiser than before!
I burn the circle
Fire erupting through skin
Becoming my own salt in the athanor’s pyre
Transformed in the cold, black furnace of the black sun’s fire!
Pulvis Solaris!
Pulvis Solaris!
Terror comes with the trickster’s laughter
Passing the cup of poison with blessed lies!
Brought to death by his drowning hand
Picked free by the raven’s beak
Baptized in dead river’s acid
Into the sea into which t he sword was set
Ascend into the sun
Blessed night, curse bringer!
Ho Nox, ho Niger!
Opposing the flow, your word I follow!
And here witch all my lore
A fool I stand, no wiser than before!
