This is a tale long to live but alas so short to tell

by the wind and by time, by everything that flees

A torment of my liking: exploring extremes



All thoughts secluded as fear stalks its blooded soil

In the winding path where a chain now rattles

With links merely death can break

Stains of pride - derelict

In feverish visions of agonising light

Pulsating rhythms unpure



So pound the drum and strike the chords of chaos

So scream out to the skies:

Of Chaos and Eternal Night



Never is the dark any threat to my existence

Comforting ravens claws grip the stars that fell tonight

THe stealth of infinite beauty

Nevertheless heaven fell tonight



Racing along with the strangled teardrop

Life's elixir in benevolent lust

Slit open the throat that is virtue

Let fire ravage its caverns with joy



Ardent but silent in twilight resigned

Delivered from virtue in vehement plight

Yet ask not of your vanity

(The hooved agitator in your creed)

To let loose all the stars of heaven

Stray across the vault your seed



Concealed cravings must through fulfilment be broken

Hide no longer behind the veil of unconvincing lies



So pound the drum and strike the chords of chaos

So scream out to the skies

Of Chaos and Eternal Night



I've seen fires waving patterns

Forging ornaments - hidden from a world of distress

Grace through hatred

Of Chaos and Eternal Night



In shadows now vengeful waiting out your bitter foe

The mirror distorts



Sinful is the perceiving eye

Tearless in nondescript form

Scarlet secrets tell of nightmarish fear

Illusions that speak of endless night

A venture in terms of one hazardous journey

into Chaos and Eternal Night



Deliver me from virtue,

Hidden no more beneath tender veil of lies

And let 'em all out;

unseen and sinful

... Of Chaos and Eternal Night
