Lyrics
Accursed - this world steeped in darkness
Where upon the vilest of creatures dwells
For I should know, as I am one; a fiend
A leech which prey upon the feeble man
Uncrowned I rule my spire
The lord magistrate and emperor of the night
So sleep warily and hide your daughters
For I come with the setting of the sunThe darker side of eventide
Is now the scene of mass demise
The scent of death enshroud my breath
They ceased beneath eldritch skies
As nightfall cometh my fearful subjects
Weep for the dawn to come
For this is my realm, and I claim my
Tribute in the blood of mankindFrom out of starside comes a flock of ravens
Scarlet-eyed and with scythed teeth
Mounted upon silent-winged manta shapes
Silhouettes against the crescent moon
Down from the night sky we are descending
To fall upon those who are now sound asleep
To rape and maim in ecstatic bloodlust
And thus fill our hedonistic needsIcicle cold stalactite fangs - now punctuate
Razor sharp taloned hands dissect your fleshCursed be the arriving dawn which
Brings the burning light
Thus towards our shielding aeries we
Must flee to surviveAccursed-this world steeped in
Darkness
Where upon the vilest of creatures
Dwells
For I should know, as I am one; a
Fiend
A leech which prey upon the feeble
Man
Uncrowned I rule my spire
The lord magistrate and emperor of
The night
So sleep warily and hide your
Daughters
For I come with the setting of the sunThe darker side of eventide
Is now the scene of mass demise
The scent of death enshroud my breath
They ceased beneath eldritch skiesBlood, blood, pure red blood floats
Upon your bed
The last you will see is my sanguine
Grin before you join the undead
Blood, blood, innocent blood as sweet
As one may taste
Just to spill one precious drop would
Seem a careless waste[1]
