Cirith Gorgor

Perishing Nights (A Nocturnal Gathering)

Cirith Gorgor


As the wolves howl 
And the moon penetrates the driving clouds 
When the trees cradle above a murmerous cascade 
Your stature approaches closer and closer 
An Osculum Infame 

Your scent is still present 
In this place so dark, so pure 
At a bed of leaves I still see your shadow 
In the sinister shade of a horned moon 

Ishtar, my witch, my burning Goddess 
Every woman bears your mark in her soul 
As the rustle of leaves and the rustle of flames 
Inflame your transistory (yet eternal) existence 

I embrace your light 
It shines through the leaves of trees so old 
As the beckoning of bells in the freezing night 
Makes us forget about the cold 

As the wolves howl 
And the moon penetrates the driving clouds 
When the trees cradle above a murmerous cascade 
Your stature disappears slowly and grave 
An Osculum Infame
