2. The Manor of the Demon Duke (3:46)
1625 A.S.
It was then, at the darkest day of Autumn that the Duke called forth all the nobles of the province to pledge loyalty to him during a festivity of a rare occurence called The Argent Masquerade. It was to be held inside the majestic walls of the Castle Mordkhane. As a devious ploy it allowed for all the remaining living aristocracy of the right age to be gathered at the same place. The ancient spirits moaned their scarcity of souls under the iron yoke of the Duke Goffridus Mordkhane. The grand halls held a vast legacy. At the height of the ball, by the order of the Duke the hungering spectres sealed the entrance to the castle and drained the souls of each member of the nobility.
Only one man was left alive: An old wayfarer who would be forced to share his knowledge to the Duke's son on his forthcomina auest for the relics of Hell.
[Duke Goffridus]
Light the candelabras
Let us fill our shining chalices!
Orchestra plays the Devil's feverish symphony!
Forgive the aesthetic ghosts
Encircling and spiralling betwixt tapestries and frescos
Strange mirrors of my complicated mansion
Gently splinter the psyche
Sacred seance, beyond mysticism
Enchant the guests, nightmare host!
Marvelous jewels, magicians mitre
Enthral the evening with ceremonial spells
Ad altiora tendo
I praise this form
A capite ad calcem
Submit to the occult fire
Mors mihi lucrum
Beyond death I transcent
Behold, eternal feast!
Set aside your masks and cloaks
I am towering over you
With the incence I reach the roof!
Seek my grave
After the banquet
Empty as it is
Honor it
