lyrics

At last, the daylight does succumb
Steps lead from the pomerium
Fell the dusk and I took my flight
Mine is not the light

Through the countryside
Cypress shadows are alive
Where at Lake Avernus
I draw from Hades below us

Fevered, I present libations and pour
Black sand runs down to the mouth of the shore
A stillness grips the ocean breeze
And in haste I drop to my knees

A bitter aroma transcends earth
Trembling hands can't contain my mirth
In hand a dagger raised up high
Spell on tongue, I wet my knife

With zeal I present a wound
And the clouds part to reveal the moon
So the Shades may appear and comply
Necrophilosophic Rites

Impart thine secrets to me
Where the morrow is plain history
The future, a scroll 'neath my eyes
Necrophilosophic Rites

Footprints lead up from the shore
The lemures in dreadful pallor
Their grasp on my flesh is as smoke 'round a knife
My colour turns blue as if drained of life

Whispers I hear as my skin goes pale
Yet, this evening Orcus shan't prevail
Back on my feet, and into the night
I flee Avernus Lake beyond my sight

With zeal I bleed out my wound
And the clouds hark to conceal the moon
So the Shades retreat to the tide
Necrophilosophic Rites

The future is revealed to me
Read the morrow as plain history
Fate is only dread by the blind
Necrophilosophic Rites

Cemetery Lights Rhode Island

Occult black metal from Rhode Island.

A hearkening back to traditional blackness and death.

Necromantical delirium rooted in the sounds first pioneered by early European ancestors, unearthed to once again wreak havoc on the present! ... more
