Dalkhu - Preludium to Darkness

Ancient world in time long perished
He awakes into another possessed day
Evil spreads before him
As his eyes dress day in night
Shrilling sound killed another silence
In the vast emptiness of the wilderness
Where seraphs rot and lay

Hovel stands in this place to mortals unknown
Secret engravings he makes every day

He lights up three candles, the fire glows in his eyes
Opens the door and lays seven symbols on the doorway
He is the murderer, the redeemer
He will take our sins, the great deceiver

This is the day of the conqueror
Angels turn to stone, ravens blacken the sky
The mighty hammer upon the enemies
Embrace my scarred soul… Rip out my heart…
Make me immortal

Countless times has he failed
But never gave up…
Countless times has he cut his chest
To watch the blood stream down…
To ease the pain… To feel the hate…
To kill this fear he has no more but one

Grim years have passed since his beginning
The lust grew stronger
The hate felt colder… (don’t you agree?)
The need was bigger

This is the day of the conqueror
Angels turn to stone, ravens blacken the sky
The mighty hammer upon the enemies
Embrace my scarred soul… Rip out my heart…
Make me immortal

He lights up three candles, the fire glows in his eyes
Opens the door and lays seven symbols on the doorway
He is the murderer, the redeemer
He will take our sins, the great deceiver
