Caverna Obscura

Silva vetus stabat nulla violata
Securi et specus in media virgis
Ac vimine densus
Effigiens humilem lapidum
Compagibus arcum uberibus
Fecundus aquis, ubi conditus
Antro martius anguis erat
Cristis praesiginis et auro
Igne micant oculi,
Corpus timet omne
Venenis, tres vibrant linguae,
Triblici stant
Ordine pentes quem postquam
Tyria lucum de gente profecti
Infausto tetigere
Gradu demissaque
In undas urna declit sonitum,
Longo caput extulit
Antro caeruleus serpens
Horrendaque sibilia misit.
Effluxere urnae manibus,
Et attonitus subitus
Tremor occupat artus,
Ille volubilibus aquamosos
Nexibus orbes torquet
Et immensos saltu
Sinuatur in arcus ac media
Plus parte leves
Crectus in auras
Descipit omne
Nemus tontaque est
Corpore quanto,
Si totum spectes, geminas
Qui separat arctos
Nec mora phoenicas,
Sive ipse timor
Prohibebat utrumque, occupat.
Hos morsu,
Longis complexibus illos,
Hos necat adflatu
Funesti tabe venemi,
Sanguisque reliquit corpus.

Only The Blind Can See...

Down the halls,
Where no light glows-
Where once was life
Now shadows move.
Without mind,
Without a will
They search...
And never fade away,
The end of all paths is their aim,
But never they will find again
What was lost
In nowhere once,
In the space that is called time.
Down the halls,
Where the silence lasts,
In the dark where dust prevails
The shadows lurk
Beyond your sight
And follow you
To where you go.
Quietly they listen
To your breath,
And in obscurity
They wait for you.
You must move
To find the key
That only the blind can see.
Instead of wisdom
Thou need instinct.
But even if you call my name
A shadow you will be again.
Only the blind can see...

In Signo Mortis

Live...between the wolf in your heart
And the cross in your back.
Betrayed by your belief -
Sworn to your arms -
You had never any choice.
Thou will wander endlessly
In the shadows of thy doubt...
Possessed by your desires.
Fight for the wolf in your heart
Against the cross in your back.
See the dark side of thy soul
As clear as thou
Once have seen the sun.
Enjoy the pain that lies
In this tragic beauty
Of your being.
Death is worth to be worshipped
And damnation consists
Of undoubtly truth.
Thou broke the cross
And fell into everlasting darkness.

Te in signum mortis.
Te in corpore immortale.

In Nomine Aeternitatis

So we awaked
In a place beyond space and time
Where mortal limits last no more.
We left the balance
And the fading world
Witout regret,
Without on more thought.
Carried by the shadows we drift
Into another sphere.
Erased are fear
And all emotions -
I feel the great collective now.
Within the everlasting void -
Time never existed
And constant...
Is all existence.

As Old As The Bones Of The Earth

[Lyrics by Tharen]

Time has demanded it's sacrifice...
After thousands of burned books
And the murder of uncounted wise women and men
One should think that
The age of innocence has gone...

Beyond the seas of oblivion
Lie the mountains of wisdom
As old as the bones of the earth,
As cold as ice, as pure as snow

Dive the seas of oblivion
To reach the mountains of wisdom
Flee the caves of ignorance
And set yourself forever free

Here, at the heart of the earth
My spirit rests
In the embrace of time
As old as the bones of the earth

Thy Fleeing Time

[Lyrics by Q. Horatius Flaccus]

Eheu fugaces, Postume, Postume,
labuntur anni nec pietas moram
rugis er instanti senectae
adferet indomitarque morti;

non, si trecenis, quotquot eunt dies,
amice, places inlacrimabilem
Plutona tauris, qui ter amplum
Geryonen Tityonque tristi

Conpescit unda, scilicet omnibus,
quicumque terrae munere vescimur,
enaviganda, sive reges
sive inopes erimus coloni.

Frustra cruento Marte carebimus
Fractisque rauci fluctibus Hadriae,
frustra per autumnos nocentem
corporibus metuemus austrum.

Visendus ater flumine languido
Cocytos errans et Danai genus
Infame damnatusque longi
Sisyphus aeolides laboris.

Liquenda tellus et domus et placens
Uxor neque harum, quas colis, arborum
Te praeter invisas cupressos
Ulla brevem dominum sequetur.

Absumet heres Caecuba dignior
Servata centum clavibus et mero
Tinguet pavimentum superbo,
pontificium potiore cenis

A Path In The Dust

[Lyrics by Tharen]

Thousands of miles in the dust to see,
upon a path leading to nowhere.
Destination unknown,
only trees in the distance to see.
they walk a path
where life has never been.
Banished from their realm,
only following honour and their will to survive.

Destination unknown,
only phantoms in the distance.
Following a leader,
following the thirst for honour,
the only thing that was left...
The light, it seems to flee their near,
like they're dead and already forgotten.

Behind every crossing lurks the unknown,
constantly accompanied by fear and desperation.
They wander the path
where no angel guards,
their souls delivering to the devil.
Wandering a path always hidden in dust,
towards the phantoms of future.
Wandering a path always hidden in dust

In The Omnipresence Of Death

[Lyrics by Q. Horatius Flaccus]

Ille et nefasto te posuit die,
Quicumque primum et sacrilega manu
Produxit, arbos, in nepotum
Perniciem opprobriumque pagi;
Illum et parentis crediderim sui
Fregisse cervicem et penetralia
Sparsisse nocturno cruore
Hospitis; ille veneva Colcha

et quidquid usquam concipitur befas
Tranctavit, agro qui statuit meo
te, triste lignum, te caducum
In domini caput inmerentis
Quid squisque vitet, numquam homini
Satis cautum est in horas

Navita Bosphorum Poenus perhorrescit
Neque ultra caece timet aliunde fata,

miles sagittas et celeremfugam
Parthi, catenas Parthus et Italum
Robur... sed inprovisa leti
Vis rapuit rapietque gentis
Quam paene furvae regna Proserpinae
Et iudicantem vidimus Aeacum

Sedesque discretas piorum et
Aeolis fidilus querentem
Sappho puellis de popularibus
Et te sonantem plenius aucro,

Alcace, plectro dura navis
Dura fugae mala, dura belli
Utrumque sacro digna silentio
Mirantur umbrae dicere, sed magis
Pugnas et exactos tyrannos
Densum umeris bibit aure volgus
Quid mirum, ubi illis
Carminibus stupens demittit

Atras belua centiceps
Auris et intorn capillis
Eumendium recreantur angues?
Quin et Prometheus
Et Pelopis parens
Dulci laborem decipitur
Sono nec curat Orion
Agitare lyncas

My Phantasm Supreme

[Lyrics by Tharen]

Encrypted signs appear red glowing,
contrasting the deep dark stone.
Energetic they sweep before my eyes.
My mind opens to an event horizon,
my body fills with energy,
the opening for the last chapter is to come.
I never bowed down before a god,
I never lost my subsconscious freedom,
but always there are shadows following
the way of the sorcerer, and so I have mine.
I feel a cold hand touching my heart,
Spears made of flames raging the skies

The revenge of the ancients I feel
for breaking their last seal,
but preperation brought me to this point
and not the simple spirit of adventure.
My phantasm supreme, the last gate,
the last chapter of my terrestrial,
my temporal,
my mortal existence is to come;
"Eternity" is only a word made by mortals too.
I see the dissolution, the return of chaos
and maybe the rise of a new order?
I call forth the storm of punishement upon the earth,
or should I say "purification"?

Fire's Dominion

[Lyrics by Tharen]

Forgotten powers are revealed
By fire we are sworn -
To the everlastingness, to eternity, to the void
The sign of the dragon shines through
The opaque darkness in our eyes
Enthraled by eternity's winds
We shall grow forth to become one
With the unspeakable

The icon of wisdom -
A key to time and realities
Tall it strands and unreachable
For those who are not able to hear eternity's voice

It shall be a monument for the few
Who stand at the very edge of the abyss,
Who posses the right of passage
The gate is closed, but it is no you
To see through the veil that lies above the shimmering stars
So it is written and so it will be done

The furious flames, they dance with pride
Between the heavens and the deadly depths
This is a beginning and an end
By fire we are sworn
