Tales Of Dark - Luciferian Elegy lyrics

[Takac / Menzildzic] Penetrate deep into my pain Clandestine and silent, yet never to subside A curse that wears no face or disguise Behold the heavens lustrous that my contempt arouse Still I covet one thousand eyes to possess When the dusk paints the perfection most complete So hasten I to beset what's left of the light In the grace of obscurity to empower my sight ... to seek what's seemingly never to be found Why hast thou broken my wings? Didst thou see peril in me? Accusing me for perfidious acts Was thine utmost stupidity For those were only ambitions A greater sovereign than thou to be So, betrayal thou didst promulgate For the fear of dethronement made thee elate: "Begone, wretched creature of pride! In the burning arms of oblivion be forever lulled!" Yet thy sentence I accepted with mockery: "Who art thou to sit in judgement upon me? How spiteful soever thy words would be I bow to none, so shall I not before thee!" Then the curse was cast And I'd fallen aghast With my hordes wearing new grown horns Like black lace clad eerie shadows Into the everburning pits we descended Like a phantom spirit That breeds the eternal fire The flaming abyss and the secret it keeps Were there for me, a new home to be... Fleshless yet awake Shapeless and forsaken The Serpent of old I am Still pulsating in the depth Of this tragedy's birth With the "mercy of God" etched in my heart But even tortured by the lashes of million godly whips No word of penitence will ever pa** my lips
