The darkest hour sprouted like a flower Like the gold at the end of the rainbow The scent became overwrought with power And the air cold as the winter snow And yet remained All senses somehow lucid Visions of the dark side arising so clearly Power's rank stench grew more putrid And we cried for our lives so dearly Puissance soared like the eagle daring Ready to strike at the time that's right Eyes of the Machiavellian blackness staring Insatiably waiting to devour the light Armageddon draws closer to the sky The clouds' premonition await for the sign. Dark are the eyes of the witch Whose sortilege awaits to be said Binding doom to come from that which Shall not be named until it's dead Transylvanian nightfall spreads like the cloak And the sun became impossible to sight For the words of the witch who spoke Spread like fire, like a plague of might Death and the shadows became our companions In the sign of a silent sound Eclipsing the stars were the angel's dominions That began crumbling to the ground And this tale shall end as it began An elegy to the effigy, The fall of man.

I saw her standing in sorrow Beneath an evergreen tree Like she's approaching the gallows Her appearance suggests, as it I see Genocidal eyes of the wind Drive themselves into perdition The Maiden could not weep for sin But her tears shed like blood, an act of contrition Hopelessly one awaits a dawn Where evergreens weep, it's gone Washing away in darkened misery Shedding its leaves in utmost blasphemy Morbid wondering of the trees tall Monuments of Wooden statues captured In the sign of all mankind's fall My vision beholds all that's enraptured Now the trees shed themselves away No sight of witnessed auroral madness Not even for these creatures one could say There is all that is devoid of sadness Like Wishing upon a dying star Amongst the Supernovae ever so far Demon's dreams come as the sun slept... This eternal autumn, The evergreens wept!

"I defy the ways of the crucifix And obey the fullest moons I defy the ways of the pearly gates I live by wolffish code of the runes..."

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!
5.
Transdimensional planes Lie beyond the spheres Of an unreality you subscribed to For time immemorial Worship of the crucified Bitterness rank with human lies The winter of discontent illuminated by the great Promethean flame Worship yourself And walk the left hand path to astral freedom Chaos will breed within But with it you shall win!
6.
Dead leaves falling... Where the evergreens weep Dead leaves fall... Like the twilight of God into night.
