Quietus Litany Lyrics

It came to me, in the midst of an austere night
what grave words, my ears deafen'd to their sound
This gale it carried the tale of such baneful potency
Oh thee, who we revere most, hear my litany

Firmament, mine tortured soul
finds no rest, nor serenity
Mayhap, thou art as empty and lorn
as me
Clandestine, is this our
lugubrious destiny
For endless pleas of despair seem'd mute
in this night of epiphany.

It appeareth as though we art alone
in this serpentine trail of misfortune
Lethargic, we tread the brimstone path
Still we wend, where is the end?

Hangman, come I call thee
to rejoice in jugular slaughter
Scar our souls with thy
death-clad touch of infernal ire
In once elysian fields, somehow devour'd
by the fire.
I see naught more than lakes of virgin blood,
A vast funereal pyre...

It seems as tho' fate hath conspir'd 'gainst us.
And slowly art we consum'd by the nightcloud's pall
Our tearful endeavours, hastly drain'd by raucous cries
Our faith in ruin, and 'neath the moon,
we curse a god, in disguise.

Eviscerate us all
Oh, revel in our flesh
consign'd art we to thee
must we cross the gild'd gates
of heaven to be free?

"Yea, naught but a voyeur he who dwelleth
Thither in the sky.
Leerest he on us, ,aye
yet whence shalt come the aiding hand
'ere we die"

Vinidication, condemn'd he who cries
for to avenge such crimes means to sin tenfold
Yet could we stray with lightn'd hearts
Whilst more horrors still unfold
My heart sears in l___ for justice
the brooding embers of anguish
but what archon wilt comply
to this unspok'n wish.

In vengeance seeps our rebirth!

It seems as tho' fate hath conspir'd 'gainst us.
And slowly art we consum'd by the nightcloud's pall
Our tearful endeavours, hastly drain'd by raucous cries
Our faith in ruin, and 'neath the moon,
we curse a god, in disguise.

"The lilt of our belov'd dead resounds
Throughout the barren wastelands of the earth"

It came to me
in the midst of that austere night
engrav'd dreams of tombs,
kissing the dark ground
Yon veils I heard the wail of
death's cold melody
Hence scrib'd I this mournful elegy

Purgatory!
