Strange lyrics, about Elric of Melnibone. I was just reading the novels for the third or fourth time and the very beginning of the saga inspired the song. It's not an usual lyrical theme for us and still I'm not that eager about the words. Once again this is totally funeral doom, with lots of palm-mute and a very long solo by Daniele. This song was recorded in a couple of hours, it was meant to be a promo since a label asked us a song and I guess it has been only on our hard disks far too much time.
lyrics
“We live
To feed
Cosmic
War
Not
To win”
Overwhelming
Pain
Depraved
And Forbidden
Desires
My drugs, my skin
My dreams, my lust
Lacerated heart
Prideful spirit
Master and slave
Of demons and gods
Betrayed by my kin
My bloodline.
My sword brings Storms
My Throne of Ruby
Arioch
Knight of Swords
Appear !
Obey !
"While The Gods Laugh
I, while the gods laugh, the world's vortex am;
Maelstrom of passions in that hidden sea
Whose waves of all-time lap the coasts of me;
And in small compass the dark waters cram."
Left Yrkoon on my throne
Left Cymoril and her tears
Set sails
Far from here
From home
Where I will be
At best
Disliked
