Hollenthon - Eclipse - Vita Nova Lyrics
Swelling pyres sway restlesslyFrom bleak to pale adorn the wealdIts wild reflection wondrousA danse macabre in glassGlimpse of festive silhouettesFree of face, of name, of guiltEnthroned in thorns, abismal eyesAdorned with fiendish grinWhat forbidden feast of sinEntangles silken nymphs with hordes?To steal a glance perniciousTo heed diapason divineThe longing gaze toward drifting pairsUncovered dreams of gold and silkYet gold melts under gruelling blazeUnbidden sentinel unveiledQuiescent summons of revelationFrom eyes angelic bidding forthWith ghastly fear and awe amassedBecomes an unexpected guestIn silence takes his outstretched handLeads her in the chosen danceA kind of minuet grotesqueKindling fire of the profanedThe revelers of dark observeThe nymph in play with incubusThe jealous rage of succubusUnfolds forbidden passion boldThe embers gasping for a breadthThe last guest crawls to find his restAs music slowly dissipatesThe nymph shares one last toast distressedBut Time unkind does not releaseMajestic spirit from this hexHis temptress fair of flesh and bloodHis Galatea etched in stoneIn watchful eye he spies the nightDare not disturb her yearning restBestows her dreams by bedside realmOf dancing silhouettes and pyres
