Life Dethroned

Watain


A pallid shape is floating 
A lurid shroud of fading life 
What ones was a place so glimmering and bright 
Has ignited itself and burnt out of light 
I canonize thee, lord of the odius 
For enlightening the path to perpetual might 
For guiding me on this voyage 
With nothing but scornful mirages in sight 

Devour me, oh immense shadow 
This locus is cursed, shroud me forever 
Damnation be my lodestar 
For humanity carves my veins 
I've been nailed to a cross of anguish 
Crucified above to behold 
The blind, the loathsome's strife in vain 
The holyness of those who should suffer my pain 

Lunar strains of morbid grace 
Reflections of nocturnal mysteries 
Eternally hidden for their eyes 
As what awaits behind... 

Branded by the unpure light 
But still, You like I 
Reaches for the dark 
And even further... 
As symbols of life we are fading 
To were this twilight reaches night 
A pallid shape is strangled 
As my soul and his darkness unite 

It wont shine through 
Believe it, you're never to see 
That my flesh is carved with spells 
Of mankinds destiny 
Blessed with contempt 
For what has edged my strife 
And through sacrilegous veils 
I dethrone life
