01. Ta Mael Mуrdha Ag Teacht (Instrumental)

[Instrumental]

03. The Serpent And The Black Lake

A vast dark expanse
Of cold silent wave
Stretches between us.
Bleak and miserable
-It mocks Me.
-It taunts Me.
Reminding Me of My failure.

Away you stand
Far from Me.
Alone, on a barren mount
Fearful and majestic.
Your head white
As the snow which rests on the grass.

Dark crevasses carved deep
Run cold with icy tears
Fallen from Heaven.

When will we be one?
You stay silent yet beacon to me.
Unable to resist I follow,
Leaving Me behind.
The waters rise cold
And attempt to drown Me.
But I care not.
Further I wade into the gloom.

I awake too late
A serpent black and terrifying
Swallows me in His fierce jaws
As we both sink in screaming waters
Of eternal torture
And endless suffering.

04. Godless Commune Of Sodom

Why must I endure this cursed cup of life?
If it is possible let it pass from me.
What has led me
To such misery?
To be totally alone in this settlement of fools?

In this Godless Commune Of Sodom
Slandered and lied about am I.
My being poisoned beyond belief.
It would make all but the strong willed die.

Those who I once befriended
Have left me now, deserted
And stranded alone and bitter
Unable to Trust or to Love.

In this Godless Commune Of Sodom
Where hellish spirit does dwell.
All righteousness will die
And pillars of salt will reign.

Yet amazed am I
That in this soon-to-be city
Damned by salt and fire
I feel more anguish and loneliness
Than when on summits high
With crows for companions.

05. Realms Of Insanity

Awaiting my name as a champion before the war
Apprehensive and tense.
Secrecy shrouds the opponent graceful
As she rises to the challenge.

Courteous she bows, and removes her hooded cloak,
And my will is defeated.
Spellbound by her I await the punishment due
For defiance....
....And thus it begins.

Bathed in shadows an I
As the burning celeste-in-sky
Strives to complete its cyclical journey
Followed finally by night.

Bathed in shimmering light is she.
She banishes my shadows.
I lay roasting in the daylight.

At the dying time of day
Into the same arena of thought
We did stray,
And though scorched was I,
In my grasp I could feel her....
....Helpless.

Helpless, nay devious as her image filled my mind
To the realms of insanity.
Glorious evensong appeared to break
From serenity to winter gale
As control she took.
