ENTHRONED IN THE TEMPLE OF THE SERPENT KINGS
|
Ancient cromlech carved of ice,Etched against a glimmering sky,
|
Beneath the pale moonlight, the witch enthralling,
|
(like the sublime) scent of black lotus,Ahiling a black sun with ebon rays,
|
Hailing a black moon as onyx agleam,
|
The dark horn sounds 'cross the nighted vale,
|
Shadows call in this bleak winter's dream.
|
I seize the throne round Dagon's stone,Dark hordes arise 'neath winter skies,
|
Forged 'neath the moon, by Skulthur's tomb,
|
Blood-oath sealed, by frost-veiled steel.White flames dancing on the snow,
|
The witch-fire gleams through Northern skies,
|
The frost of heather upon her tongue,Whispering dreams of Atlantean spires,
|
Ruby lipped, midnight tressed, eyes as black as raven's wing,
|
Flesh so pale as dawn-frost gleaming, Kisses sweet like moon-dew's tears.
|
Deep within the glacial ice-veiled temple,Ancient enchantments
|
Summon the shades of the dreaming Serpent Kings...
|
And the Ophidian Throne once again drawsPower from the moon-shrouded crystal...
|
Mystic steel is anointed by the crimson wine of battle,
|
And blood reddens the gleaming snow.Storm-borne bride of winter's fire,
|
Serpent-witch of the whispering fens,Veils of scarlet and sable,
|
Blood spilled in the vault of night,Frost-garlanded, the mind-binding glimmer
|
Of tear-filled ophidian eyes,The gleam of winter moonlight upon black waters,
|
Nighted spells of the enchantress.
|
Scourge of Angsaar, wielder of the Black Sword,
|
Immortal Lord of Darkmere, Serpent-Witch ensorcle me.Black Sun... Black Moon!
