arcana antediluvia - bal sagoth lyrics

Loading...

[act i: the argosy on the eldritch sea]

[the antediluvian oracle:]
and so it was written, that rage would carry him like a howling wind, leaving only frozen corpses,
their bones rattling in hollow armour, to tell their tale in his wake.

[the black mariner:]
behold, my blackened, grim and gory axe, the searing glow of trenchant steel.
i’ll notch another widow to my haft, and wreak red vengeance ‘cross the waves.
tales of black-sailed argosies, bedeviled by base treachery!

[the antediluvian oracle:]
his gaze is as fire, his words are as spear-points, his voice is as thunder, his touch as the plague!

[the black mariner:]
storm-prow cleaving, dragon rending, nighted deeps far, far below,
hail-scur scouring, sea devouring, sunken realm’s ethereal glow.

[the antediluvian oracle:]
and one night, there came a storm, a storm with searing red winds.
fire and steel rode within it, and vengeance writ in thunder and blood!

[the black mariner:]
down sixty fathoms, from stygian coral-clad tombs, the pitiless abyssal sea disgorges its shambling mold-mottled dead,
dank innards blackly acoil with nests of slithering things!
ghosts aglide upon the eldritch seas, unfathomed voyage to ascendancy,
traitorous blood, the surf roils red, churning crimson, thrice-cursed dead.

[the antediluvian oracle:]
’tis enough that men might dream of being kings without aspiring to the power of gods.

[to be continued in “arcana antediluvia act ii: the demon in the dusklight crystal.”]
