burnitory Stumbled on this album on youtube, and bought it immediately. It's so good! Not a single track I dislike, and that's a rarity for me!
I only wish I could've got a physical version. Favorite track: The Mayfair Emerald.

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

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

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 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

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

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
