In Tha Umbra

Flowers For A Funeral

In Tha Umbra


"Nós os ossos que aqui estamos, pelos vossos esperamos" 

Como um pântamo fétido e morto 
Estagnado e em adoração ao luar 
Exalava um leve cheiro adocicado a cemitério 
Um odor de podridão impregnava o ar 

Hearted with pain in nocturnal ways 
Conceived to a thousand deaths 
To mourn the loss like a mellow fruit 
Thus rotting carcass in fullmoon imagery 
Thirteen candles support a magana in enchanting sorcery 
An ebbing coronach vagrant to fatbom and to raise the dead 

Oh Death, art thee cold and pale as a wintry dawn 
Under the glow of a poisoned sun in agony 
Lust with mortandity as to love and rapture abandoned 
Lyricism, madonna lily, roses and carnation burn 
Hammer in skullcrushing episodes and bestial warlust 
Benighted and anguished fragrance, the scent of wolves 

Fallen with the mist upon the graves as higher goes Astarte 
Moonlight adorns the dead and embraces them in slumber 

Madalenna reborn into the night 
Revirgined to orgy the dead 
Engraving in the oldest oak the lore of eternity 
Mother of the dead in sunsets like blood 
In grieving gardens as jewels of the blackest kind 

Nemesis - "Now free to hunt the sheep" 

O luar banba a pele putrefacta de morte 
Flores funebres fedem e libertam vapor 
Num jardim onde o purgatório é a sorte 
Feridas mortais suam e supuram de dor 

The drakon hissed 
Descending to smothered glade 
Glistening in supernal bliss 
To awe the throng by the blade 
Clung and benighted with the nether darkness 
Of tattered, rend carcasses' caress 
To leche the Eden and plunder all beauty 
Doth the serpent ravish the light 
By the dew of dusk benight 
The sun bled away in wane to be 

Seven banshees sing in seven silvered dresses 
Seven deaths to follow the path to the grave 
Seven witches dance to seven deadly songs 
In seven burning pentagrams as seven moonlight shadows darken 

Penumbrant circles close 
For the beast to be crowned 
Thirteen nails as thorns of oxidated iron 
Left to rest 
Mortals lie in sombre graves 
Flowers for the sun bleeding away 

We bones that here lay, for yours await... 

In shapes so hideous and snowpale skin - a corpse 
Lover of shadows and all utter darkness 
Oh Death, art thee cold and bloodless and pale 
Not a light dwells but the glow of thy scythe 

Carnation, roses and lilies burn 

Rapine voyeur of the night 
Focused to hunt the feeble 
The queen, whore temptated to taste the scent of virginity 
Hecate in her celestial grave observing the falling mist 
Embracing the dead in their slumber 
Moonlight adorns the dead 

Thus the drakon hissed 
Lo! The descending and misty glade 
Glistening in celestial bliss 
To awe the flocks by the blade 
By the dew of sunset benight 
Doth the serpent ravish the light 

Flowers for a funeral 
Moonlight adorns the dead
