lyrics

Rise
Darkness encircles the one
Conjure the wicked tongues
Shadows reveal horns and claws

Souls dance to the rhythm of evocation

Grievance weakens Theia
Shrouded figures bind her limbs
Rope tears the skin, stretches the bone
Dragging young witch into abysmal rift
Eidolon-like form floats at the door
Chanting dead language from unearthly tome

The damned burden the land with fearsome intent
To crucify the mother of the nephilim

Relentless earth lacerates
Mind recollects incantation
Whisper the nightmarish tune of the dead
Awaken the corpses of your reign as the slayer
Cemetery soil erupts Cerberus’ breath
Postponing the clutch of looming cessation

Strife ensues, Magicks flare.
Carrions flood to liberate.
Cult Anger, Burns flesh to ash.
Theia climbs aging oak.
Piercing eyes rot flora.

Injured and gored she lays in defeat.
Jabbed through the chest like Christ on the cross.

Led back to the village’s church.
She carries her burden to her doom.

Congregation in robe and mask.
Welcome abhorrence, a bitter disdain.
“Spit on the martyr, Depart tainted soul”
A hymnal roar, Dooming augur.

Nailed to the cedar, fear poisons her mind.
The clan lifts their veil revealing lifelong acquaintance.

Blood dripping onto the divine altar.
Theia becomes one with smoke and fire.
A child’s arm extends to her spirit.
(Betrayed Lamb)
Devoured by the seed of her womb.
(Eternal Anguish)
