Epoch Of Unlight - Highgate lyrics

Faster... footsteps fall upon Swain's lane Echoing... the frenzied turn to flight Alone.... Careless youths caution less Indurate... the sallow will carries on Hallowed grounds for a hallowed home Deep Within the Highgate crypt Privy by a chanced encounter fated by the glimpse The bitter loss of innocence upon the crimson lips A year ahead... the lonely path is tread again A union made... and broken in the night Fears allayed... by thoughts of each and future plans Fears displayed... as darker thoughts are shown Hallowed grounds for a hallowed home Deep Within the Highgate crypt Held in thrall while the sweeter flesh is tried Filling the warm core with my essence Always the same, to make a name, the "others" came A trophy of the highest order, to bring an end to the one The source of all, will not fall, what time itself ignored The folly of man to hunt a shade within the night Set to work on a moonlit night In the haze of a predawn mist Not a sound but the clanging gate Swinging free by the northern wall FIRE IN THE NIGHT! Lesser ones are put down As further into the crypt they seek With no sign and the thickening smoke They retreat to seal the way BURIED WITHIN THE VAULT! Fresh walls of cement and kneblasch permeate Premature satisfaction as the hunters......... they abate Known to me alone this manse of mine and all its ways A safer route free from taint and burning rays Safety... deep within barren soil Deeply.... dreaming of the next embrace Castled... and always one move ahead Hunting... the hunters using them as pawns Hallowed grounds for a hallowed home Deep Within the Highgate crypt Privy by a chanced encounter fated by the glimpse The bitter loss of innocence upon the crimson lips
