To approach me in my land Is to release the strongest dam Behind which oceans once duressed now flow to Ever's end I have become What is now and ever shall be The whisper of the timorous The Scarlet hue of the blood Once upon an ancient time When still I searched for truth I chanced to view a mortal's death Upon a cross a of wood Now as crest is to wave So time and time has passed: And brought an end to my quest Within this foreign land Tu-mul-tu-ous Years within the light Are now dispatched with swollen eyes And gaze towards blackened bliss Be for me and only me: All that can forever be A midnight cloak in ravens' black: To steal the jewels of night The lens through which as willed to be: The scenes of all Infinity Scroll through Chapter, line, and verse: And falls upon the page (No More) Traveling through Space and Time The spectrum collect lays at rest Stasis again now restored The day that the light was destroyed Be for me and only me: All that can forever be A midnight cloak in ravens' black: To steal the jewels of night Again to face the marvelous mysteries The Keys of Time are mine to employ To view again in triumph of blasphemy That which cannot shine anymore Fetid Pallid Death Cast down from the red mountain cliffs Cosmic earth and clay Upon your mother terra now lay Ancient puissant hands Now reach towards the heavens for all that I can (The) Final mendacity The End - a boundless lust may never see [Hunger:] For the fruits of time [Ethereal:] Ardor divine [Clarity:] In a now darkened sky The jewels of the night are mine! I have become What is now and ever shall be The whisper of the timorous The Scarlet hue of the blood Tu-mul-tu-ous Years within the light Are now dispatched with swollen eyes And gaze towards blackened bliss The spectrum collect lays at rest Stasis again now restored The day that the light was destroyed!
