Enthroned in Obscurity

Enthroned in Obscurity

Enthroned in Obscurity

[Lyrics by Lord Selvmord]

Lonely winds whisper over the desolate hills

Carrying tales of sorrow and solitude

The earth groans bestowing winters chills

Whispers drowned by the sky.

A thick blanket of snow lay

Where heated stares could betray

Those who's faith had gone astray

Fate peered through the fading clouds

It's trickery a veil over

The myriad of tragedies it shrouds.

Tongues of flame danced to the beating of one lone heart

Who slept alone beneath the sky that will impart

More ebbing wounds unto the one below

The fires of his curses upon the kingdoms, aglow.

The moon, a cryptic orb

paused in theatre with the topazletting stars

Gilding all that lay azured below.

A raven sat enthroned upon the dark wood

Which gasped, forlorn from autumns scorn

Darkness seething around the gnarled trunks

A nocturnal state bequeathed to this solemn place

Bestowing it the beauty of enchanted dusk.

Tears frozen upon his cheek as he gazed

Through the naked wood infront of him

To see twin crystalline eyes peering back

Dancing with carnal lusts, thick with the night.

Beckoning him deep within'

To search for the night's temptresses

That would entwine with his

Addiction to perpetual sorrow.

For he has seen the darkness in the light.

And he has seen the beauty in the night.

'Tween his fingers he grasped the spellbound branch

He pulled it from his enthralled vision and he dared

To walk down this thorned path, coated with

The stench of absinthe and the light's bane.

The apparition of this seductive maiden

Had his world turned and ensorcelled

Within' the dying light of dusk

He left all his hopes and dreams

To burn and rot just to dance

With the darkness' queen.

As contorted visions flashed through his mind

The obsidian of night took him beneath it's wing

And ushered him through this impure path

As he took her fair hand and they walked

Deep into the darkness together.

Feral maws of the wolves opened agape

Howling ancient runes into the darkness

That whispered over this wintry landscape

Azured and glowing beneath the jewelled sky.

For he had seen the darkness in the light.

And he has seen the beauty in the night.

For he had seen the folly in the light

And he was tempted to bliss in the night.

Enthroned into obscurity, Enthroned into blight.
