Alraun Ghost Lyrics

Blood drawn and flesh maimed
Urtica Dioica
Of crystalline barbs envenomed
Growing from bones from which the dead lay
Crawling of the thicket, I crown Thy shrine...
Teeth, blood, bones, hair and flesh
Sleep thorn in winters warmth

On the right you beget the dawn
On the left you beget the night
Send your Lion to devour my heart
From Ambrosian lips the spirit departs
Deliver unto me your art of prophecy
Through power of the cadaver
Break the walls that guard us
Belladonna's seeds in the entrails of a King
Divinating Datura fever dreams

Blood drawn and flesh maimed
Carlina Vulgaris
Of crystalline barbs envenomed
Growing from bones from which the dead lay

Worship them by Earthen alter
And behold The Alraun Ghost
Mandragora madness, the new blood is sworn
By the work of the dagger and sacred tongue

Sleep thorn in winters warmth
Nightshade and soot
Black powders, macabre amulets
Phosphorescent worms in a triangle of thorns
I am beholden, I crown The Juniper Shrine
Solanaceae germinating in the oil of sacred young

Worship them by Earthen alter
And behold The Alraun Ghost
Mandragora madness, the new blood is sworn
By the work of the dagger and sacred tongue
