Throne Of Dark Immortals by Theatres Des Vampires Lyrics
(Words taken from "The city in the sea", by Edgar Allan Poe, and "The visions of the daughter of Albion", "The book of Urizen", Chapter I and II, by William Blake)
"Resignedly beneath a dark sky
The melancholy waters lie
So blend the turrets and shadows there
While from a proud tower,undead looks down
There open fanes and gaping grave
The Death has reared himself a throne
In a strange city lying alone
Far down within the dim forest."
"Mistaken demon of heaven!
Thy joys are tears
Ask the blind worm the secret of the grave, and why her spires
Love to curl around the bones of death; and the will of the dark immortals
Expanded the sound of a trumpet,the heavens
Awoke, and vast clouds of blood roll'd
Round the dim rocks of the castle
In his hills of storm'd snow, in his mountains
Of hail and ice;voices of terror
Are heard, like thunders of autumn
When the cloud blazes over the harvests."
Ave Satani!
