Anguish Sublime - Where Leprous Angels Breed lyrics

rate me

As the flaming vortex of gorecloud arabesque<br />

Concealed the moon's cadaverous masque<br />

The nightskies sang bitter serenades to the earth<br />

Where my body was lying onward to rebirth<br />

Dyed scarlet, and mantled in the midnight fog<br />

In the frigid blackness lifeless I slept<br />

All my feverous visions bore her image<br />

When an ardent necromantic wind<br />

Blew my nightmares to naught<br />

<br />

Fettered by the cold chains of silence<br />

At last, in tears I awoke<br />

Orphaned and forlorn in the desert realm<br />

Of my own nine hells within<br />

"Sweet godless leprous seraphs, <br />

I've become your kin!"<br />

<br />

They led me 'mongst the deepest winter<br />

Through fiery meadows, where the dreamside dies<br />

To find her phantom in frosty rapture<br />

In the clandestine gloom, where she took my cries<br />

<br />

I drank deep of the celestial sea<br />

With my hands raised to the raven skies<br />

And crowned by the moongrief above<br />

I loosed my cheerless sighs<br />

<br />

"Wretched are the kingdoms<br />

Where I've been banished to reside<br />

Through the ravage of oblivion<br />

I sought comfort, yet my wounds are still wide."<br />

<br />

Through obscurity flavoured with mist<br />

Eternally I shall roam and bleed<br />

For the one who cursed me to crawl<br />

Where leprous angels breed
