lyrics

Weeks I’ve spent here,
pages after pages read.
The words within tell me nothing now
but nonsense.

Characters of unknown alphabets
litter parchment.
No longer can I read this scripture’s nonsense.

Turning once more,
I view some scratch
that’s legible.
Before me,
“He Is Coming.”
is written out in
pitch black ink.

These words were not here yesterday,
nor were they here the day before.
I grab my bone knife
and I hide in the shadows.

Gates,
clanking open…
footsteps…

A white hot crucifix,
pierces into my back.
I fall to the floor as I turn and face the attacker. A hooded priest.

Priest: In the name of the Jesus Christ, our God and Lord, strengthened by the intercession of Mary—-.

Bastien: “No!” I scream,
and pull the cross from in my back,
throw it in his face and make a grab for my blade.

He falls atop me
Screaming more Christian nonsense,
lies about the Archangel Michael.
I stab him in the throat.
I rip incessantly.

Hunger.
Anger.
I sense the urge to feed.
This is freshest blood.
Before me, purest heart feast.

As I tear,
and I tear,
and I gnaw,
gurgling shrieks
burst from the clergyman.

Have I got so completely insane
to accept that I’ll eat live human meat?
I cannot help myself
as my thoughts are riddled
with regret and pleasure.

Oh, by god,
what have I done again?
A man of Christ has died by my hand,
by tooth and claw.

I feel a touch of regret,
I feel a touch of pride.
I feel a touch of psychosis,
creeping up my spine.

Sleep.
I must sleep,
and get this off my mind.

“Wraithborn’s first album in the saga of the Ebon Vale is supernaturally horrifying, technically sound, symphonically creative, and narratively epic. This is one Hell of an album. 9.8/10” — Midnight Music Reviews ... more
