Witch-storm Lyrics - A Black Moon Broods Over Lemuria - Bal-sagoth

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.
