Pools of black eternity Sweeping down on brightly burning fires When comes the righteous ones Bringing the servants of leechy throngs Angels, remembering every promise Black vise crushing the feathers white Come pain deliver us in darkness Unknown, the promise of their demise Intercepting a world Dwelling in disbelief Were able to exterminate You Down-to-Earthlings With truth that would toss you into suicidal grief What renaissance this hour will bring Dark grimoires of sorceries Filled with spells of cursed conjurations Bring down the witching hour From earth to ashes we all shall fall Those eyes, ebony enchanted Pa** on the undenying truth Of youth there isn't any left What came from this insanity? Bring on pain and suffering The answer for crimes Plead as much you can You liar, you f**ing liar Pools of black eternity Sweeping down on brightly burning fires Bring down the witching hour From earth to ashes we all shall fall Free men, shall come as the unwanted Forcing the old ones to leave in vain At last denial bringing justice Cruel fate, they are forever slain [Bring down the witching hour - Comments] [This lyric was done as a sort of homage to all the witches that died at the stakes in medieval Europe. The lyric was done some time before Narrenschiff joined the band, but it was a lyric that both he and I liked a lot so we decided to keep it as it was.The lyric is all about how the righteous people of the church k**ed all these women and the ma**es loved them for it. But now, today the witches are returning in great numbers and today we have no hallowed men to slay them for their knowledge. In the studio we found that it could do with a couple of lines and Narrenschiff added the final touch, so it's basically a joint effort. The title itself is partly inspired by Anne Rice and her Mayfair Witches.] [- Tobias]
