Thorns of Ivy


Wounded by the sicklefall 
blood drenched and dressed up for violence 
we now hear the black bell toll 
hag-ridden they will awake 
chased by those who lurked in wait 
man´s bequest will be his end 
regnum silvae 

Sharpen now thy vicious claws 
inhale deep the smell of vengeance 
kill the weak who cross thy way 
Ornament thy skin with thorns 
beautiful assassin brute 
predators in her vast name 

Insensate beast 
cloaked in human seductive form 
from the other domains 
of dying dogmas you were reborn 

Again the world ends up in drama 
and the last dim glance exfoliates 
the direful dirge of two thousand years 
was hushed by a poisoned kiss 

..but the scars still bear witness 
of the human nemesis 

Even now their perception 
is dulled by devastation and cruelty 
as the last one pulls the trigger to escape 

"..the dreadful deathdreams 
still I can hear their laughter.."
