Lyrics:
[music & lyrics Thegn Damieus] Above swelling seas of blackness Dark crags tower in funeral silence Grim buzzards soar and circle As charnel beacons to dreaded lands Rise from stone a forlorn tower Hidden by towers of timbers exalted Shimmering in the wan of light of the moon Like an eidolon drifting betwixt lonely mausolea The dwelling of the wretched crone-enthroned over deep waters Perched atop horned scarps-the vicinage of Vshanaad A promontory haunted-a twisted tower dire A ancient witch and blind- Vaentella The sightless hag greets her guest As a strange silhouette descends from the night 'Tis the monstrous crow feared as Kroln Burdened with a dormant shape And so the twaine doth remove To the nether-vaults below With the sleeper bound in net An orphan seized by Kroln! Cobwebs arass the chamber- so cluttered with ornaments Crucibles of tomb-dust froth- cruses and vials bubble Cauldrons boil a fetid brew- wherein limbs of infants stew Impedimenta of black arts- devotion to the Nether-Guild The dreaming child awakes, fettered to a bed of stone "Her orbs will fit exquisitely", Vaentella opines to the crow The eyelids of the girl sewn back with the web of worm How lovely are her eyes... Such a prize to the blind Vaentella procures anon a tool, an ensorcelled hook of horn Remove the frightened stare from her face, rape the sense of sight The heart of the child abducted, so loathsomely pecked out by Kroln Drain the steaming red, flood the witch's hollow sockets "I shall be whole once again..." The black bird seemed to laugh As the thunder clapped outside For the gleaming spheres had been set And the blind witch could then see Through the glare of another Aggrandized by necromancy Her visitas took a new shade "I can spy beyond the sight!" Vaentella stands enthralled Atop forsaken Vshanaad Glaring through cascading rain Able to see the oldest secrets For now the trees are won't to whisper And the seas tell forgotten tales The skies quoth the unremembered And strange constellations intimate the unknown Now an infinity of knowledge Forever shall unfold Peer through the yawning gulfs of antiquity And the chasms of archaic wisdom Now an infinity of knowledge Forever shall unfold...
