Blackmoon - As Darkness Falls lyrics

As Darkness Falls
“Morbid Throne of Satan” (Dec. 1997)
The high priests of Hell
Gather on this sacred night
Calling to the moon
In the shadow of Lucifer
Summoned to rise
Armies of the abyss
Burst forth through the gates
Wage war upon the living
Soldiers of Hades
Slaughter the sheep of christ
Their souls now condemned
To eternal Satanic possession
Cowards flee from his hordes
Some kill themselves in fear
The brave stand and fight
Yet fall to Hell's might all the same
Into the fiery depths
Before the morbid throne of Satan
Crying out in damnation
Weeping for the death of god
“As Darkness Falls" (Feb. 2001)
Gazing beyond the black horizon
From the darkest shadows
Awaiting their return
In winter’s frozen embrace
For ages I have called out
Wallowing at the fathomless depths
Among the wintry plains untouched
The aging soul withers
Cursed in a time before time
In a land forlorn
To wander in torment
As darkness fell
Nothing beyond that which I see
Beneath black clouds of suffering
Cursed by immortality
Such desolation…
Eternal darkness
“Possessed by the Full Moon” (Aug. 1999)
Demons…
Attack the church
Feeble priests
Burned and crucified
Holy cross
Pointed toward Hell
Overpower
Legions of Satan
Rise
Deny the false one
This war soon won
Destruction from the gods below
Hell’s gates will open wide
Black flames consume this world
Demons of war and death
Massacre the sheep
In the name of Satan
Let the temples burn
Followers of the Nazarene
Go fuck your Jewish god
This fiction nonexistent
Pathetic souls will burn…
Hail Satan!
Rest upon your dark throne
Of burning human remains
In the light of the full moon
“Infernal Flames of Eternal Evil” (Mar. 1998)
A night of dark rituals
Unholy and obscene
Chants under a blackened sky
Interrupt the silence
Deep within the tomb
My body cold and still
Drawn back to that rotten shell
From the other side
They call to me
Wielding black arts
Leave me alone
I can't go back!
Unable to move on
Trapped between life and death
Now returned to decayed flesh
Rising from the crypt
Resurrected, to what end
I didn't ask for this
For me to resume my rest
They all must die
The carnage soon begins
Skulls split wide open
Entrails torn out
Graveyard of slaughter
Victims of my undead wrath
Throats ripped out
Through this unholy bloodbath
Incantation reversed
Souls received below
Into the forever-flames
I return to coffin sleep
For all eternity
“Dominion of the Blackened Dawn” (Nov. 2002)
Illuminated by the moon
Frozen souls burn black beneath its gaze
In endless nocturnal solitude
Silence reigns in the winter night
Through cold, desolate valleys
Gray mists coil and linger
Under the vast blackened sky
Where the coldest winds forever howl
Like a pestilence across the wastelands
Lurking silent within the shadows
Cursed sun, die in agony
This shall be your final breath
To cast your loathsome light
For aeons we have dwelt in darkness
With scorn and hatred bound within our hearts
Darkness drowns your feeble radiance
Your pitiful cries will go unheard
Frozen in time, ghastly voices linger
Eclipsed beneath hatred’s blackened mist
Enter death’s eternal slumber
As the winds scour the dismal plain
From the harsh mountains descending
Winter’s throne spreads its dominion
Darkness trails where the earth freezes
Extending the boundless realm of frost
The land of light shall fade to nothing
Its warmth erased from memory
The sun withers and dies in shadow
As the winds carry the spreading dark
Black knowledge floods the mind
Far beyond the weak and innocent
Through the wastelands, whispers echo
Of what once was, now long forgotten
Beneath the twilight’s endless veil
Souls of the dead remain
Bound to the nocturnal dominion
Where no trace of life endures
Heed the call of the darkside
Illuminated by the frozen moon
Frozen spirits burn with black fire
In the solitude of eternal winter
