Where Leprous Angels Breed

As the flaming vortex of gorecloud arabesque

Concealed the moon's cadaverous masque

The nightskies sang bitter serenades to the earth

Where my body was lying onward to rebirth

Dyed scarlet, and mantled in the midnight fog

In the frigid blackness lifeless I slept

All my feverous visions bore her image

When an ardent necromantic wind

Blew my nightmares to naught

Fettered by the cold chains of silence

At last, in tears I awoke

Orphaned and forlorn in the desert realm

Of my own nine hells within

"Sweet godless leprous seraphs,

I've become your kin!"

They led me 'mongst the deepest winter

Through fiery meadows, where the dreamside dies

To find her phantom in frosty rapture

In the clandestine gloom, where she took my cries

I drank deep of the celestial sea

With my hands raised to the raven skies

And crowned by the moongrief above

I loosed my cheerless sighs

"Wretched are the kingdoms

Where I've been banished to reside

Through the ravage of oblivion

I sought comfort, yet my wounds are still wide."

Through obscurity flavoured with mist

Eternally I shall roam and bleed

For the one who cursed me to crawl

Where leprous angels breed
