Of Descent And Betrayal lyrics by Serpenthia
1. The Deception
Just another night among the others But this time it'll also end an era I am the one chosen to this task And with great pleasure succeeded Greef drives me through the time She cannot disappear, only flee That silhouette of a gothic cathedral against a stark light Represents the violent feeling of this stormy sky This is just another sick display of grotesque might Everything beautiful has to wither and die This is my sacrifice.. For those who dwell behind Thou art my sacrifice.. To bring forth our time Walking through the field of fallen stars Her scent is fading These nightmares come again No time nor need to repent This feeling of chase and her fear Makes me grin and this I swear No need to cry nor be afraid This shall be Thy fate To the catacombs under this burned ground Beneath the dusky woods of eternity Where withering leaves of life gather I shall let them have her Pale faces everywhere Staring at her, wanting her She may be our saviour But none of us cares.. Anymore Amazed is her gaze as she finally understands All her children have turned against her will Her mind and body torn asunder And the loyal one imprisoned My heart is cold as I drag her deeper down This is her final night and she'll lose her crown Her tears turned to red coloured pearls, red as blood That I drained from her veins along with others.. Of my kind Thy moment is now gone and we shall rule from now on She fell on the floor Ancient queen now forlorn Nothing to us but a useless whore Her blood was spilled to the door..
2. Goddess Reborn
Candles cast their light onto the ancient walls Shades rising from sepulchre to answer nights call Closed doors of mausoleum open with a screech As dusk forces the last rays of sun to flee Era of her dominion is at hand She once was might that heaven could not accept Only a mortal but merely a god Her price was great for she was doomed Powers withdrawn cast into darkness But in those years in expulsion She found others like herself Forceless, imprisoned for aeons Mist rises from the below Covers her from mortal stairs Autumn's leaves whisper her arrival Rising of the queen fallen Those shades once so mighty now frail Gathered their powers to unite the hollows With pleasure she embraced the kindred of night Became what prophecy said, would conquer light The fatal beauty to behold Skin so pale and cold Dress of crimson tears Violent wind blows Divinity glows On the grave of those Who died in throes By cruel goddess with no Mercy nor pity to behold Snow falls from sky above Hides her thoughts from heaven Winter breeze screams her arrival Rising of the queen fallen...
3. Into Salvation
Closed are eyes as wind passes by Telling tale of rise and fall Of mightiest of them all Never shall the rays of sun warm this soul He was my kind Tried to take away from what was mine I was judged, tortured and torn But that was not enough they wanted more To make ordeal even greater They ordered me to betray her It shall end here for His light is not what I yearn (His light is what I scorn) I was thrown away with few others They lost hope and became what was reckonned I sought for salvation in the night hoping to find my place among the forsaken Now I have seen the sun and never want to return again He couldn't see that the sentence he passed on me would cause me pleasure (It caused pleasure) Sent into darkness I truly see This is where I belong and where I'm free Palaces of light and gold were not for me But this caressing darkness with Thee I once walked on his side But in Thy embrace I see the lies of light This love I swear shall last forever more Sent into darkness I truly see This is where I belong and where I'm free Palaces of light and gold were not for me But this caressing darkness with Thee Take my hand lead the way Take us into a better place Take me though there isn't much I'm nothing but angel's distortion I', like a child still scarred afraid betrayed Woulds Thou still come and stay She wore nothing but ghastly smile My belove reincarnated Aphrodite (My Aphrodite...)
