Eldritch
05:41

(Thierry, Rauch)
Guide me, Lilith, my dear
Upon the cusp of night's conceit
Led by black moon
Abandoning the frayed edges of time
Feet compelled by otherworldly chimes
Eldritch, the voices that ring through old churches
What drifts from this world and what's left behind?
Born to die again
The cycle ensures that you'll lose
Binding of hands
Binding of feet
Boundless we're born, and boundless when we're six feet deep
Lost souls leading the way
Unearthed from shallow and unmarked graves
Aimlessly searching for purchase over an indelible yearning
(Solo - Rauch)
Embrace death - the one true calling
Embrace life - the fight worth fighting
Trapped in the prison of the ophidian god
Be still and listen
Enough is enough
Walk along these winding roads and pray they lead you home
What is enough? What's worth divining?
The destinations beyond the defined
See the black moon hang high in the sky
The shifting of the tide causes the river to rise
Complicating passage onto the other side
Follow the sound of the chime
Sway to-and-fro and swing side to side to a strange melody
Cross over through rushing water
Feel no ordinary pain
What drifts from this world? What stays in the grave?

Phylactery
05:50
|
|||
(Thierry, Rauch, Fenton)
Wading through the cold waters of this lifeless shore
Obol paid, passage ensured
Charon's eyes linger on my form
Eternal life is something to abhor
Horrid phylactery
Soul interred, cyclical rebirth
Lychgate calls me, chimes lead me
Strange melodies not quite of this earth
(Solo - Rauch)
Limbs dead weight in a turbulent sea
A frothing black mixture of death and disease
The winds in my sail boiling fumes from deceased, corrupted men
In the prime of their brine
To pass over into the endless abyss is what it means to be alive
You are only truly living when you choose to die
Pass through the lychgate
Pass through the threshold
Waning of the tides has thinned the space between hell and I
Now caught between Scylla and Charybdis
Beset on by all sides
I will cross the river
Currents cleanse
Dead shore awaits
Flesh Decays
Fragile body swept away
Boundless, binding
In chains writhing
Lychgate, threshold
Past that untold
Black moon is rising
Melody reprising
Phylactery the prison, the vestige, the image, the pain

The Binding
02:37
|
|||
(Thierry, Rauch)
At its peak, zenith aligned
Lilith softly whispered, "Beyond the gate I know not what you'll find"
See the waxing of the black moon
The time is coming too soon
Must delay that inescapable fate
The cycle must be broken
Torment has been awoken
By strange melodies
The ringing of the chimes
Ophidian wheel for a crown
By his hand forever bound (time and time again)
Yet chained within this rhythm the soul sits unforgiven
In pieces on the floor the phylactery no more
Rust burned wrists are healing
Blood that's spilled is now congealing
In pools on the floor the phylactery no more
But in life death will resound
By his hand forever bound
Chains thrust upon me to keep me from this mortal coil
By his hand - we are forever bound
At its peak the Zenith was aligned
As Lilith softly whipered, "Beyond the gate I know not what you'll find"
Ophidian wheel for a crown
By his hand forever bound
Break the chains, hear that sound
By his hand we're no longer bound

Between Hell & I
03:10
|
|||
(Thierry, Rauch)
The space between hell and I is thinning
Come closer, fear not, just cross over
Let melodies lead you - eldritch in their nature
As the sun will surely rise
All life will surely die
The cycle is steadfast, it concludes with your demise
Sepharial please tell me why you bound me here
What lies beyond the lychgate unknown, but she led me there
Lilith my dear the space between is thinning
Disconnect from the self
Absorbed by this hell
What drifts from this world and what's left in this shell?
This coffin of flesh
Disconnect from the self
Bindings undone
Boundless become
His crown lies in pieces
His grasp on me gone
But I feel him still
His ghastly will
Sepharial, naught remains between hell and I

The Boundless
03:28
|
|||
(Thierry, Rauch)
Fragile mind unbecoming at the threshold arrived
Worn feet compelled by the chimes
Whispers I heard, sanity compromised
With nothing left to fill the space between hell and I
I'm unraveling
Frayed, lost, and forgotten
Will they call me a martyr?
Saint of nothing, father to none
Free of god's hooks, boundless I have become
The melody now out of tune
Crashing of the black moon
Forces that prevented me from forming these wounds are weakening
I continue to bleed as he'd want me to bleed
(Solo - Rauch)
(Solo - Fenton)
I continue to bleed
Sepharail's hooks never truly left me
Saint of nothing, father to none
Free of god's hooks, boundless I have become
I have become undone enthralled by this melody

Crashing Black Moon
08:24
|

(Rentz, Thierry, Rauch)
End of the line
The chimes lead me to my last sunrise
My curtain call, no hope for a reprise
Given the chance to decide,
I'm starting to think that no one wants to die
Now decide
Those hooks are far too deep!
This yearning, now burning it turns to rust. Encased in oxide
This yearning, turned loathing, now fully transposing my soul into matter that's hard to describe
Crash of the black moon
You are as I was and I am what you shall not be
I am what you cannot hope to be
At the cusp of conceit the path becomes unclear
Lead blindly by the chimes never questioning what brought me here
My soul forsaken, my soul interred
Left to wander, never laid to rest
I carry on in deathless sleep
You will never be free of me those hooks are far to deep
By his hand we are bound
Enthralled by the sound
Consistent is the will to become truly unbound
Is it much better to rot inside of the ground than to be the one that wears that crown?
By the chimes I was lead following promises of becoming unbound
Without my guide I am left wandering
Forgotten, abandon, please stay by my side
See the black of night inside of her eyes as tears flow freely down out of mine
The astral lord sits atop his throne
As she joins him at his side
Lilith my dear how could you?
And I can feel it in my bones, the fundamental essence of the soul
I believed that I would one day die
But no release would come within the crash of the black moon
