Noctes - Carnifex lyrics

With ebony-feathered wings through the dark I fly I am the night-spirit Like a shade upon the star-spangled sky Alone, like a voyager of dreams – unknown I fly away – through the shimmering moonlight I ride the frozen winds of twilight until the end of time The sun has fallen from the sky, into a roaring sea of blood to drown Never again to spread its tainted light, upon the flooded shores of Eden Never more – will the sun arise from the horizon All is dark and silent My raven eyes, like astral fire, beholds the desolate lands below I feel the pulse of nocturnal wisdom – within my heart Enrobed in black – above the meadows of Eden The moon reflects upon my somber wings So endless dark, the aeons to come will be I soar into another dream I am as one, with the night that burns in me From the gardens of stars a Carillion serenade, invites me to the twilight, invisible, ballet Dancing with ghosts I darkly parade, as a shade in their grotesque act of masquerade Behind a smile of revelation I hide, under the cloak of time I'm the misanthropic messiah in disguise, from the shadows to rise The drencher – divine A deluge from my celestial skies Spattered in blood, my angels I deign to drown Dei gratia…Carnifex Another dream, from sinister tongues, whispers crawls in me "The vast is thine – without form, and void" All is calm Beneath my wings the plain lies dead and silent Another dawn, a new beginning Another breath before the dark
