Album: A Black Moon Broods Over Lemuria

Lyrics

Silvern skull, sable shroud, ebon tower, onyx crown
Witchfire, black citadel, frost-shrouded steel, moon-veiled spell

The skyqueen of the dead rides forth, black storm-borne steeds
(Their flanks anointed by) immortal blood
Hark to the striking of the winds, the moon burns black as slaughter reigns
Witch-storm!

Bright fires agleam through winter's night
Dark spells whispered on the winds
The trees enrob'd in veils of frost
Moonfire entwines the eye of khthon

From the moon-swathed depths of winter-mists
Enchantress, she-who-walks-the-night-alone
Sloe-eyed shape-shifting sucubus
Silken veils and slime-smeared flesh
Witch-storm!

Storm-witch, hearken this night
Hone this black blade with sorcery
Battle-spells annoint my flesh
Let blood and steel be my glory

Elder tongues encarved in sinistrous slime-flecked stone
The obsidian tower broods 'neath the moon
Winged fiends descend from storm-wrought skies
Black ring, key to the shadow gate, aglow with eldritch spells

Forged in witchfire, envenomed steel
Ensorcelled blade, blood-ravening
Ebon demon's tooth, the bane of kings
Red rain of slaughter, prow of blood
Witch-storm!
