My creator was consumed with revenge
Consumed with revenge against life itself
Pointe Du Lac my plantation he sought
Unaware of the danger we wrought
He sowed the seeds to his own destruction
Blood fiend
We own the night
And from empty plates we dine
As this haunted house burns
I curse the day i was born
Venus shone to light a broken path
From there i wandered to the edge of my lands
I overheard the slaves speak of revolt
They realized it was Satan they served
Blood fiend
We own the night
And from empty plates we dine
As this haunted house burns
I curse the day i was born
I have thrown it all away
Into the black horizon
This is no drunken nightmare
The opium claret its charm i resisted
On the corpses of bats i feasted
By my own hand i cannot die
A sinner in all eyes
A hex, a curse, a coward am I
The end in sight
Our game recognized
Their whiplashed bodies
came screaming blasphemies
With the moon as my witness
I tore down the curtain
The stars wept in silence
As the gazed upon the slaughter
I left it all behind to rot

She Who Would Rise Again
04:56
|

Through the bowels of New Orleans
We sank like blackened lead
But the sweet desire for death
Still clung like feathers on tarred skin
I lay enraptured
I was driven by the kill
In a house diseased and rank
That motherless child i found within
Her eyes of porcelain
held a stormy sea of tears
Four years of fasting broke
I felt her flowing down my throat
I lay enraptured
I was driven by the kill
But her heart beat like thunder
Beating with the will to live
His finger taunting
With her mothers corpse he danced
Creeping agony upon me
Through my ecstasy i heard him laugh
And i became that which i abhor
I crossed the path on a tempests roar
For evil is a point of view
God kills and so shall we
On the shores of a crimson sea
In a nursery of fever and plague
He led me to an infant bed
There she lay a black rose
The damned child from the night before
His poison flowed within her
God turned in fear
The greatest treachery
Claudia was her name
I lay enraptured
I was driven by the kill
But her heart beat like thunder
Beating with the will to live
His finger taunting
With her mothers corpse he danced
Creeping agony upon me
Through my ecstasy i heard him laugh

Claudia
03:30
|
|||
Half awake i caught the scent
Of she who would rise again
Velvet coffins side by side
This infant reaper mine
She was dead by dawn
By dusk re-born
This child eternal doomed
Her human heart had died
In a street where the sewer ran free
We christened a dead child
She was dead by dawn
By dusk re-born
This child eternal doomed
We killed by night
Side by side
Destruction, death and ruin
We left behind
She was dead by dawn
By dusk re-born
This child eternal doomed

Absinthe And Laudanum
03:39
|
|||
Her shadow haunts the moonlit night
Frozen child
Brooding upon the task at hand
A murderous thirst
Her lust could not be quenched
As sure as the sun will die
Her mind would not be swayed
Her deceit knew no bounds
She purred and licked her lips
On her throne demanding death
Her words enticing
Like rats to a ravens beak
She lured him in
Two boys she poisoned
With absinthe and laudanum
As he fed on them unknowing
HIs pale white throat she cut
She purred and licked her lips
On her throne demanding death
Deep into the woods
We fled with his remains
A murky grave
Among the reeds he lay
The price of freedom tore
Tore at my tainted soul
Short lived though it would be
A tear i bled for he
She purred and licked her lips
On her throne demanding death

Aboard The Death Ship
04:05
|
|||
Aboard the deck of the French mariana
I waited impatient
Waiting to set sail, silent
And as Poseidon took command of the ship
I knew the worst was yet to come
Into the deep
In search of rumour
From Varna we crept close
Speak of the dead
Rising from the grave
Empty coffins where corpses
once remained
In the ruins of Germany
Those olden tales revealed
By the Seine a presence i felt
A living ghost, inhuman
Blasphemy
Not of this world
In search of rumour
From Varna we crept close
Speak of the dead
Rising from the grave
Empty coffins where corpses
once remained
We were led
Into their den
In search of rumour
From Varna we crept close
Speak of the dead
Rising from the grave
Empty coffins where corpses
once remained
An invitation
Sealed with black magic
Cursed by the light
Death in all its glory
Fiends posing as human actors
To a crowd they devoured their vermin

The Mayfair Emerald
03:38
|
|||
Passed down through centuries
The designee recieves
On the rear inscribed his name
An emerald forged in hell
From deep below he came
From strength to strength they went
The coven grew
A spirit guides them
Like a planchette on the board
Devil in disguise he tempts them
Embracing in the twilight garden
Cut flowers and endless wealth
Driving more than two insane
Witchcraft, Incest, Murder
In a bed lay brother and sister
stitched together by a line so old
pure blooded, rejected by the lord
In donelaith it began
On the moors of the scottish highlands
Granted life by a spell she cast
Lasher born by a magic so black
The Mayfair name
Struck fear in the hearts of men
A spirit guides them
Longing for release
No-one dared to enter
That house in New Orleans

Ash Eternal
03:31
|
|||
Underneath the city streets
they gathered.
Centuries of knowledge.
Hidden.
The greatest crime they told us.
Was to sever the bloodline.
All crimes will be punished.
Cast into light.
The dawn came rising.
Scattering ashes into dust.
In the ballroom waiting.
Our creator returned.
Scarred and reeking of vengeance.
Come to haunt us again.
The dawn came rising.
Scattering ashes into dust.
For her crimes she would be punished.
On the dock she stood acsussed.
The verdict was guilty.
The sentence death.
The dawn came rising.
Scattering ashes into dust.
The dawn came burning.
That dawn she kissed the sun.
Her screams filled the Paris morn.

Her Death
02:29
|
|||
Smothered by her ash
The stench of burning flesh
When midnight turns the key
A plague i will unleash
Smothered by her ash
That night i still re-call
Armoured with the dark
And guided by the night
She left me here, a ghost, alone

The Last Haunting
04:56
|
|||
By fire, her soul condemned
Swept away
A lake of bleeding tears i filled
When the moon took flight
I prepared for war
Beneath the veil of night
Armed with a gleaming scythe
Un-done
I shed my cowards skin
Broken
In her name i swore to kill
With acid hate
I sought their resting place
I embraced the beast within
And released it from its cage
Deep down i crept into their lair
Lit the spark that became a flame
Igniting all within
The scythe sang with no mercy
Cutting bodies where they lay
A song of terror, rage and pain
Un-done
I shed my cowards skin
Broken
In her name i swore to kill
With acid hate
I sought their resting place
I embraced the beast within
And released it from its cage
The rain descended down
Like needles in my eyes
Awakening the horror
Of eternity alone
Un-done
I shed my cowards skin
Broken
In her name i swore to kill
With acid hate
I sought their resting place
I embraced the beast within
And released it from its cage
