lyrics

I stand before thee, and demand you open the gates
I bleed before thee now, and sing the curses of the elders
Whose names bring death to those who speak them
Usher in your age of knowledge and insanity
Sink the dagger into the chest of the corpse
Hear the voices ring inside your skull
The ancient rhymes light light in thine eyes
Tearing down the veils between their world and ours

Formless ones, with avatars of madness
I demand you open the gates to nightmares
These realms inside my head shall run free
The age of night is upon us

Give me your sight
This I demand
To see beyond my own
Mortal eyes
Give me your wisdom
This I demand
To know beyond my own
Mortal soul

Arcane Veils Torn Asunder
Arcane Veils Torn Forever

In return, I give you my life
For I know these demands shall cost
This dagger in this corpse entombed
Shall find its way to my own heart
In the death throes shall I find joy
Revealing the secrets of this universe
Reality will shift and sever at its seams
As colors morph before me

A woman in scarlet comes before me
Beckons the shades in the sky

Formless ones, with avatars of madness
Have opened the gates to nightmares
These realms no longer exist only in my head
The age of night is now
