Awaiting Freyja's Return

I died when frozen
Dead reign of winter ruled
Land barren of life
Suffocated by snowfall
Suffocated by snowfall
Now winter is nearly over
Resurrection of the spring
What was feeble and useless
Perished in the snow
Now a new harvest
Can take root in the ground
I died when frozen
Dead rein of winter ruled
Land barren of life
Suffocated by snowfall
I'll rise when Freyja's
Kiss awakens the land
parts of me dead and gone
But where I am barren
Fertile soil awaits new seeds

A lone warrior trek across frozen swamplands
He knows he has to make his own luck
Abandoned by his people, called a heretic
battling feelings of misanthropy he continues on
He knows though, the people who abandoned him
Will now be the ones facing demise
And they aren't nearly as strong as he
Only he knows the ancient magics
Only he could have saved them
The cold won't kill him
But the loneliness might
Not a soul
It's barren here
With only his hate to keep him company
He can hear the curse charging the atmosphere
The village will be crushed
A result of their own stupidity
The truly greedy will be crafty
To get you must give
And they'd taken everything from this warrior
The only one who could have saved them
But if he survived thought he
He would have the last laugh
But will he?
Only the greediest, only the most diabolical
Will be truly kind
And one day thought the warrior mage
One day he'd find those who'd be
Greedy enough to care for him
Facing demons within
Could he love himself enough
To survive, to banish feelings of inadequacy
Could he hate his village enough
After he faced the cold loneliness
He knew he could face anything
And soon his village would be destroyed
And soon he'd find those who are greedily kind

Sunless Sanctuary

Being weary of pressures and lights
A man searches for somewhere to rest his worries
But to put a part of himself into action
Leaving the lights he ventures into the woods
Into woods where dark souls dwell
A place even the sun forgot
These trees absorb light from the moon
Within these woods long ago obscured
He found something
Being weary of pressures and lights
A man searches for somewhere to rest his worries
But to put a part of himself into action
Leaving the lights he ventures into the woods
There he found a temple to the body and mind
A place where lusts and love and hate are embodied
A place where light is shunned
A sunless sanctuary
Where monks and nuns of the earthly fornicate
Where evil and good become one
Where imagination is unhindered by morals
Sunless Sanctuary
A temple to the body and Mind
A Sunless Sanctuary
Where monks and nuns of the earthly fornicate

Ritual

As witching hour approaches
I prepare for a ritual
The lighting of incense and candles
I cleanse myself of superficial morality
As witching hour approaches
I prepare for a ritual
The lighting of incense and candles
I cleanse myself of superficial morality
As the clock strikes midnight I burn sage
Chanting, banishing spirits of the light
The invocation of satanic forces commences
The ritual begins
A ritual of Deicide and Self Empowerment

Arminius Is Within Us
05:18

We will destroy
We will endure
Lurking in your nightmares
Arminius is among you
The Romans fell and you will too
This isn't your realm
Go home never cross the rhine again
Wretched creations you did spread
In the centuries to follow
You took the lore and signs
Of desert lands far away
As a means to subdue us
As a means to chain our spirits
Spawned from wretched desert winds
Was a god born of rules and wrath
Arminius is within us
Go home beyond the Rhine
Here we must make our Rhine
A line they cannot cross
Little did you know
Lurking in your desert fables
Was an older darker force
We will destroy
We will endure
Arminius is within us

Bask in black sunlight
Tonight we'll drink our fill
The midnight sun illuminates only our path
Illuminated in black
Follow me friends
While the night is young
Sing your praises to the midnight sun
We're out for blood
We're out for glory
We're out to decimate all that is holy
Fuck everything that isn't real
May black sunlight forever illuminate our path
Bask in black sunlight
Tonight We'll drink our fill
The midnight sun illuminate only our path
Illuminated in black
