Carnifex

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
