Solace Beneath the Shroud Lyrics

By mortals' hands the devil was crowned
In the nets of Belial dark powers bound
Scourge of heaven, thy nemesis
Hoisting the powers to which God submits

The lie that echoes in your tomb of worship
Is the festering shadow
Which bleeds through the surface

As a mystic spell seared in eternity
A broken cosmic reel bound in infinity
An ocean of tears could not awaken
Your thorn-crowned nameless desperation

Silence the breath of humanity
Rise from the ashes of ignominy
Poison the current of dignity
The serpent lurks among you effortlessly

Finding your salvation in the garden of iniquity
A glorious return to what was meant to be
As we stand above you in the fading light
Drinking from the chalice
To intake the unholy might

Lord of night, grant us the mystic powers
Enrapture us in darkness
God's pathetic religions
We will not follow
