lyrics

Recalled from the grave
To link the fire
The sorcerer has none of it
His vision comes from waters
Human flesh, his dinner
His growing power
The clergymen join him
To this abyssal banquet of limbs

From the deep
He dreamed of a profane flame
A deep waters’ arrival
Men’s souls reaped
The ecclesiastic spread the word
from their profound bibles
Frozen throne
The self-proclaimed pontiff keeps the
gates
Of the frosted city
Go back home
The coffin hides the ancient doll
But deacons are watching

Old holy writings were twisted
Cold sacred prayers now coded

Captured children,
Caught in lousy cells
Waiting to be served,
Ringing the bells
Snatched tongues
And spilled warm entrails
Will be trophies or dishes,
To the fattened bishops

A monument erected to the glory of
His unparalleled appetite
A black marble house
Surrounded by imposing towers
Red torn draperies
And bloodstained tiles
The ground is littered with the remains
Of those who were devoured
Puking putrid pillars
Spilling their nauseating flow
Obscuring Chandeliers
Parasite candlelight

A monolith built to the profane
Of his impious visions
The main altar sinks into the ground,
Because of this blasphemous place
Cold massive columns
And threatening vaults
Keep this horrid building standing
This church of nightmarish faith
This abyssal cathedral
Full of creeping wraiths
No lights pierce stained glasses
Let’s begin the masses

Forced by our inner rage
Only slaughter will be our heritage

Obsessed by the power of our place
A feeling of betrayal will remain on our face

Driven by the desire to overcome
Our march will be unstoppable

Living by our ephemeral eternity
Death will be the end of the journey

Overwhelmed by the immensity of the emptiness
Even the ocean can not fill us with its loneliness

Blinded by that to which we dedicate our faith
Maybe will we commit countless sins

Manipulated by our deepest fantasies
These always end up turning into nightmares

Veil of Imagination

The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself
