Cries of hunger, cries of hate. The ruler in the forest, below the red moon, hiding in shadows, under the golden forest crown. Eerily, howling winds Eerily, howling winds Eerily, howling winds Eerily, howling winds In the deep dark woods of Norway, they were nowhere to be found. The Ancient wolf spirit gathered and howled. We are the true pagans, we shall always be, from our day forward, to eternity. Forward in the forest, the old man laughed and grinned, spitting forth agony. The red full moon. This is my ode to thee, Ancient ruler of my land. Eerily howling winds, hear the wolves cry. Cries of hunger, cries of hate. In the old Norwegian moon, I will see their red eyes, and I shall greet them, listen to their beauty songs. Eerily, howling winds Eerily, howling winds Eerily, howling winds Eerily, howling winds The Cainian Chronicle Part I: The Curse Black clouds fill the day sky In the primitive lands of Nod As the two sons of Adam offer up Their gifts (of pride) to the one reigning high A dark fate born by sacrificial fire (Caine:) 'Oh, great father of my father Whom thou banished from thy garden Look down upon thy faithful servant And accept my beloved brother.' With tears of love the firstborn thrust His sharpest scythe deep into Abel's heart Rendering him lifeless but eternally Prized in the mind of god as his body withered In the scorching blaze (Caine:) 'Oh, my dear brother Forgive me for what I have done But to the one almighty A greater prize I have none.' (Adam:) 'Caine, thou has broken my seal of absolute love The crime thou'st committed meets not The approval of him above Forever shall you wonder in the lands beyond alone And from this day forth I cannot call thee my own.' (Caine:) 'Oh, father my great father Why hast thou cursed me so? Have I not done what thou asked for? To the shadowed woods I cannot go.' (Adam:) 'I can no longer endure thy sinful words This greatly unmerciful deed hast done his wrong I pray that thou find ways to repent And as I was cast out so you shall be gone!' Be gone! Exiled, the firstborn rushes off to the obscure yet Welcoming arms of Cimmerian darkness For there he shall find great wisdom And awaiting beneath the crescent moon lurks The mother of magick... __________ Part II: Lilith's Embrace (Caine:) 'Alone in the darkness I can hear The sweetest voice Whispering words of surcease And I rejoiced! Who would dare speak to one so Condemned as I? Do you know of my most wicked crime?' (Lilith:) 'I'm known as Lilith, your father's first bride Like you I'm cursed to dwell in the shadows of night.' (Caine:) 'How can one survive here in the dark groves forlorn? Without a sole compainion of a friend of some form?' (Lilith:) 'But there are many compainions in my infinite kingdom. Through magick and sorcery I've found my freedom.' (Caine:) 'I was cold and she clothed me, I starved And she fed me, I was mournful yet she loved me. I shed bloody tears and she made them dissapear She kissed away my tears Her powers I could see would forever set me free I begged her to awake me Her blood, sweet as wine, as I drank she would sigh Then I closed my eyes Into the dark I fell and fell A deepest abyss Surrounded by obscurity A price for her gift Out from the frigid blackness Came a radiant glimmering light Revealing the flaming archangel Known as Michael' (Michael:) 'Cursed son of Adam Indeed his mercy is great Bow thy head and repent thine sins now Before it's too late.' (Caine:) 'Not by his grace but my own, I choose to live with pride Your 'merciful' god disgusts me His kingdom infested with lies.' (Michael:) 'You sad irrelevant fool Have thy no shame? You shall forever fear the light Of the living flame.' (Caine:) 'On the mornign by silver wing Raphael came to me and said Abel did forgive me Not by his (forgiveness) but mine own For darkness is my home I walk alone My skin would burn by the sun's rays I learned And the dawn had returned to earth below I did run seeking shelter from the sun The endless night of Caine had begun When I awoke, Uriel appeared The reaper with black wings But thrice denied his grace Hence, my blood-curse begins...' __________ Part III: Disciplines Of Cain / Part IV: Zilla And The Crone Disciplines Of Cain My wrathful cries of anguish Filled that dismal night I tore at my flesh and drank my crimson tears When I glanced up Appearing in a myriad of stars The illustrious archangel Gabriel shimmered Like the moon in my eyes Bringing mercy even to the damned But why? Why? He spoke of a path The path of Golconda From which my children could once again Inhabit the light Without another word, he disappeared And I conceived I had awakened at last Then the bright-eyed demoness Taught me how to hide from the eyes Of those who dare to hunt us How to command obedience And demand respect Soon I found myself attaining (yet) greater powers I could alter forms, control all beasts and perceive Beyond sight Eventually I had to abandon Lilith And flee from the barren lands of Nod Set out to procreate my progeny Caine's children shall inherit the night Zilla And The Crone Of all my children, none so beloved My sweet Zillah, none so desired Her tender skin, her blood so saccharine I was mesmerized by her enchanting eyes But she would turn from me, she had no love to me Nothing I'd provide could keep her satisfied So I took to roam the wilderness alone Amid the whispering trees, a wrinkled crone I did see (Crone:) 'My spell can make thee win her heart Drink of my blood then we'll start' (Caine:) 'Her (foul) blood I drank for many nights And Zillah indeed became my wife' (Crone:) 'The elixir hast bound thee My serving thrall thou always be' (Caine:) 'But after a year (and a day) her grasp (on me) had gone With a stake through the heart, I left her to the dawn' __________ At The Infernal Portal (Canto III) Per me si va ne la citta dolente Per me si va ne l'etterno dolore Per me si va tra la perduta gente Guistizia mosse il mio alto fattore Fecemi la divina podestate La somma sapienza e'l primo amore Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create Se non etterne, e io etterno duro Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate Through me you enter the woeful city Through me you enter eternal grief Through me you enter among the lost Justice moved my high maker The divine power made me The supreme wisdom, and the primal love Before me nothing was created If not eternal, and eternal I endure Abandon every hope, you who enter __________ Prophecy Of Gehenna On the first day of Gehenna The shrieking winds shall be silent And when a black sun hangs from a somber sky Caine's sleeping children shall once again arise When antediluvians awake from eons of slumber The strongest of us shall fall prey to their hunger Countless storms shall quake the earth As the world turns icy cold On the second day of Gehenna Our father shall return And unite his wretched kindred To the ebon throne of city Enoch The vile culprits of diablerie Shall meet their deserved fate To drink the scarlet tainted from the first-born Eating away their breathless bodies And there shall be battle The next millennium antediluvians rule But shall be borne a woman bearing lunar mark The only key to our salvation... __________ Song Of Kaiaphas I slept in the fires of Hades But did not burn I breathed in sulphorous vapors To reach the astral plane I tamed the three-headed Cerberus Then devoured his flesh I stared deep at the face of the Gorgon And made her turn to stone I made love to Prosperine To taste its bitter venom I shot an arrow into the eye of the Cyclops The earth shook as he fell I called the mighty Kraken And watched him rise to do my bidding I soared on the wings of the great dragon To feel the infernal wind I hunted the enchanted unicorn To obtain its horn of power I entered the labyrinth of Daedalus And slayed the ferocious Minotaur I came as the great star To ignite the blaze of the Phoenix I'll come to you in the shape of Incubus And plant my deadly seed __________ The Pagan Cycle Eurus, we call upon the east wind Notus, we call upon the south wind Zephyrus, we call upon the west wind Boreas, we call the north wind Spirit mother hear thy pagan son On winter solstice night Waxing mon reveals a new dawn (The) dark king transforms to infant light The cycle of ancient times has begun Io Evohe we are reborn Candlemass brings the (growing) child sun The triple goddess comes shining down As witches sing with inspiration Spiral dancing round and round The spring equinox rises high (The) dark maiden returns to us The woods abound with faery goblins Pan performs his songs of lust Rejoice in the beltane sabbat When lilac performes this magickal night Naked we leap the sacred fire And feast upon fruits and violet wine On the day of summer solstice The sun king will embrace the litha queen And perish in the wake of Lughnasad So may a splendid harvest be reaped On Mabon we follow the lord of shadows The empty season is upon us Lady autumn blows leaves of sadness Chanting as our offerings turn to dust Ancestor wraiths ride on Samhain night To proclaim the mystery of passing Wearing a death cloak smiles the waning king Let us see what the future will bring Death is rebirth The end brings new beginning Ever turning The wheel of the Pagan cycle Anadia...

Meaningless creatures, slaves of the light I will triumph for the the evil lives in me!" A veil of flames war covering the field The bloody battle reached its end The ancient warriors got victory in hand The Battle of battles was won!

Proxima Centauri Proxima Centauri By foreign shores we tread our way No clue of what's beyond A lurking threat unknown to man An ancient force of prey Through time and space we travel on Our curious natures grow An evil dark and frightening place Where no man should dare to go Ave aquevale for the neptune towers subside We unlock doors unprepared To face the horrors far beyond As feeble speaks of dust We boldly linger on and on Our souls will burn with flames so high And vanquished we will be For we are merely strangers In this void of misery Cruched and butchered drained and slayed Our souls forever scream Engulfed and severed, tortured and maimed With no hope to be free Anghuishly crying no able of dying A curse no one can tell Forever standed and abandoned Our souls will burn in hell

reaping souls A breading unportrayable death Will swallow all mankind We have not seen the face of death And hell is just a word The truth is far much worse and vile Our existence too absurd The fatal verge of no return Now breached beyond restraint How many times must our souls cry Before we finally learn We face what power is out of reach Until we crash and burn A warning's given us Remain on our home soil For furious proxima centauri Will shred this mortal coil Shred this coil Shred this coil __________ The Ancient Horadrim I roamed the paths the obscure paths that lead to the realms of chaos I lowered myself into the abyss of hate and ascended the peaks of destruction And still I walk these putrid paths seeking the spawn of eternal damnation My soul's been split like water on sand and dry is the life I lead For the powers I have are just a curse that nibble away at my soul For merely greed have I opened the gate for the three to enter foretold Baal mephisto and sheitan are those who offered me valour The unholy trinity the brothers of hell Who spread only sickening glamour Onwards I march to challenge all hell and now I'm before the last seal The red misty portal now opens before me my mission reverse what I've done And face the three the fearsome three until victory is all that I have My last battle cry is all to be heard while I fight under a flaming sky A dark curse now broads over the lands that aimlessly await what is deemed Deemed to cast only suffering and death to all who live and all who dream For I am izual the fallen guardian banned from the ancient horadrim Aeryel and tyrael my brothers now slayed for that which my mind had possessed Dying and doomed I limp into the black and the portal it seals behind me For I was victorius but banished will be due to that which I wished had not been The evil unleashed on the world's destiny was reversed and the infernal crushed Three brothers of terror three angels of death sworn to be risen again __________ In The Abyss Of The Cursed Souls Walking by the side of my old tired horse After months of blood red battles Finally on my way back home Letting myself be dragged by instinct In the mist of the cold evening I suddenly came across a gorgeous glade At the bottom of a roaring crystal waterfall An abrupt thirst began to creep inside his throat There was nothing he wanted more Than a sip of that fresh water Fast I ran towards the enchanted oasis But suddenly my sight was raptured by a blazing image At the bottom of the spring A pale and charming maid was laying Singing sweet melodies Captured by her perfect beauty I stood still Bewitched by her flaming eyes And then I dared to ask her name Innocent eyes Already bewitched by my infernal beauty Another pure soul will soon be corrupted After an eternity of stone cold silence The magnificent creature spoke to me But her words I could not understand Je suis la belle dame sans merci Ton sang sera mon vin ton coeur ma vie In the abyss of the cursed souls In the abyss of the cursed souls In the abyss of the cursed souls In the abyss of the cursed souls __________ The Witch Up from grave I come to break the spell Slept with corpses scraped
