I denounce your papal laws, a travesty
Chicanery is all you have inside
Rotten to the core, your fake philosophies
Witches rule your sons, you cannot hide
CHORUS
Woe, now, your patriarch is gone
Know now that your time is done
Witch, your bane, the god of all your tears
Witch, your bane, your mothers and your fears
CHORUS

Apex (Soithifem)

|
Black is the eye of the Apex
Halo his head with the black crown of a Dark King
Hallowed the teeth of the Apex
God of Thunder who drives the masses to sing
Smell him on the night air
Prepare to taste his power
Hellas be his mother
Beg to be devoured
(Willing prey)
(Soithifem)
Kneel before the Apex
Monarch of the shadows
Kneel before the Apex
King of all the Beasts

Matilda of the Night
06:21
|

|
Deep, in the bowels of Annwn, where the womb of Samhain lies
Walked the Norman lady, wise. Looking for a kill
For her hunt was due to roam the skies
Bringing those who died
CHORUS
If there's no hunting in Heaven, I'd rather not go
Let no beast escape me
Let my hounds rip and tear
Calls the lady as she rides
Leads her hordes with hellish cry
Eyeing the wrong soul
Now a hag, Matilda rides the night
The Wild Hunt to serve
Come, Matilda of the Night
Come with your hounds in rapture
Come Matilda of the Night
Seek the souls that you delight
(Matilda of the Night)

Mr Magpie
05:44
|

|
The lord and lady walking, they wander off
Did not greet the bird that came to land
The lord took his pistol, aimed and fired
Left the bird to die in the sand
For many weeks he wondered about his kill
The Magpie that he ripped from life
But on his land another came to haunt
Dressed in black, he was looking for his wife
RHYME:
One for sorrow, two for mirth
I put your wife into the earth
Three times three, four for dreams
Listen to her horrid screams
One for sorrow, two for mirth
Three times three, four for dreams
Serenading me with her screams
One, two - curse you
Three, four - heed lore
CHORUS
One for sorrow, two for mirth
I put your darling wife into the earth
Three times three, four for dreams
Serenading me with her screams
Then the lady fair, disappeared
And the lord and his men did her seek
Found her lifeless body, eyes pecked out
Mr Magpie grimaced through his beak
CHORUS
One, two - curse you
Three, four - heed lore

Sleeping next to Cluj Napoca, the onyx jewel
Haunted forest Hoia Baciu, where phantoms rule
There I found my future contained within a deck
Void of suits, void of structure
Drowning in the beck
CHORUS:
Black Tarot of the devil's design
Black Tarot, my fate is not mine
From the start every card held a tell
To determine our fate in accordance with hell
As I wandered through the forest, lost in my way
Held the cards of wicked blackness
Led me astray
No prediction did they grant me, but altered all
Evil in their taromancy - Reality's fall
CHORUS

Bonelicker

Midnight in the Six Mile comes a figure of a mighty glow
Limping in the lamp light, in the moonlight
With an eerie moan
CHORUS:
Dig, nails of blood
Through the earth, through the mud
Bonelicker
Feaster of what festers,
Comes the chewer of the dead man's bones
Cackling ghoul of Antrim in the graveyard
Of the dead man's stones
CHORUS
Fingers peel the corpses
Lick the marrow of the buried dead
Even on the living, he'll be licking until he's fed
CHORUS
(Eater of the Dead)

When a Broken Tree Weeps
06:19
|

|
Under the Moon, high in the Northern sky
The Rowan stands with talons reaching high
Under the Moon, high in the Northern sky
Swing the men of humankind, the place they come to die
CHANT:
Dance daughters, make the ring
Dance daughters, laugh and sing
Dance for all the corpses' souls
Dance for flesh that feed the crows
Suicide they did not deem
Yet compelled to come, despite
Unwilling victims, they help themselves
Dying by their own hand tonight
CHORUS:
Under the moon, high in the Northern sky
The rowan stands with talons reaching high
Under the moon, high in the Northern sky
Swing they in the place they come to die
To die....
Split by lightning, broken, torn
Stands the rowan in mourn'
Weeping softly tears of blood
Playing host to souls forlorn
CHORUS:
Under the moon, high in the Northern sky
Where the broken tree weeps
Under the moon, high in the Northern sky
Where the dead men come to sleep
Under the moon, high in the Northern sky
The rowan stands with talons reaching high
Under the moon, high in the Northern sky
Swing they in the place they come to die
To die....
CHANT

CHORUS:
Chaos (chaos)
Pyn (pain)
Wraak (revenge)
Haat (hatred)
A false falsetto that is your voice
The darkness beckons and leaves no choice
CHORUS
Another allegro to grasp the soul
I cannot escape you before the toll
But know this - your reach is weak
You look for damnation
It's me you seek
