Starlight Millenia
06:11

I've been haunted by visions of carnage
Dreams of citadels lit by stars in the night
Dark infinity whispers for my name
For so long dormant
Beginning of the descent into night
I see nothing
But a new world in stars
Rule over the realms
For eons to come
Now awakened from a centuries long slumber
From ancient times in kingdoms I've come
Millennia past lurking in darkness
The starlit sky is my destiny
Beginning of the descent into night
I'll find a vessel in the mortal realm
Raise disciples in the name of night
To achieve tyranny in the material world
Dominion over mankind
Beginning of the descent into night
I'll summon the servants of the freezing desolate hells
Armies and disciples join the cause for the starlight throne
Flickering in dark horizon
Could this be the beginning of a new age

Storming through the flickering horizon
Journey through the oceans of blackness
Today is a fine day to die
Descend on this weak world to conquer
Battle over moonlit battlefield
Lunar plane painted in azure and crimson
Deafening rumble of clashing of steel and thunder
Engulfs the shrieks and howls of terror
Bright sigil appears and forms a portal
Through the time and space continuum traveling in a vortex
Charging from behind the shadow of the nebula
Break of daylight, battling from dusk till dawn
The battle rages with the fury of a dying star
Deadly whirlwind of a thousand blades levels the earth
Outworld legion from beyond the great black oceans
Come to conquer yet another world
Ravens circle above like an aura of death
No more frontlines, the unholy battle is everywhere
Fight for valor, fight for the cosmic rule
Last stand against the hordes in a bloodthirsty frenzy
Friendly banners fall, here is where I am surely to die
The sky crackles and fire spews from the sky above
Deathlike silence and desperation as the end approaches
All is turned to ash in its wake
Infinite blackness
Grinning in the cloaked mothership
The final stage to secure victory is to begin
Now fire sweeps clean the planet
And the starlit tapestry is painted with fire and blood
Hunt for the fleeing enemies
Leave none alive to tell the truth
Fail me and you are sure to share their fate
We ride in moonlight
Spread terror through the realms
I do the bidding of the dark one as you'll do mine
I don't need my means justified
I wield the dark and rule with fear
All who are against me I'll impale with my wrath
The truth my master whispers
The golden path to the starlight throne
The next millenia in my grasp
With war I'll conquer your land
I did what must be done in your name
Silence the voices of the dead
Crowning ceremony
In a castle by the sea
Armies hailing in my name
Whose honor I've claimed for myself
A new dark foundation
Descent of the eternal night
Begin the rite as foretold in the prophecy
Will my name be written in stars
Or my reign last through times
Will anyone sing songs of my rule
They howl mockery
Usurper and a heretic
Cast down the false one
Suffer my wrath
Haunting me forever are the countless nameless dead
For it is I who painted the starlit sky with fire and blood

Iron Thorns

Worshipped by many
Feared by all
Guardian of the accursed time tombs
Supreme being
Bringer of misery
Forever lurking in the shadows
Cruelty beyond mortal powers
Terror arisen from the future
Thousand blades gleaming in the pale light
No escape
The master of tombs and the labyrinths
Crimson eyes like stars in the darkness
Bending the laws of reality to kill
Shifting through the endless void
The chosen are bound in eternity
Imprisoned by the dream
Impaled by the iron thorns
Suffering beyond this flesh
Mind goes numb in the centuries of torment
Writhing in endless pain
Shackled by the spiked god
Ornament on the monolith of agony
What is real
And what is a dream
Has this constant hell brought me to insanity
Apathetic towards the pain
My senses abandoned me in time
What is real
And what is a dream
Now indifferent ethereal entity
Millenia awake in silence
No non constants in this miserable existence
Become one with surrounding matter
Blend into the folds of time

Dawn of Great Eternity
07:33

Embrace the vast night of different shades and endless majesty
The abyss so mysterious and haunting
When will the void call for me
Images of stars lightyears ago as they live for a flicker in time
Were all my deeds justified when all is gone in an instant
Formless, silent, deathbringer
Fog that surrounds the world
Turns everything to ash in its wake
No mortal can escape
Kingdoms and rulers rise and fall as the wheel turns in eternity
Memories like tears in the rain
Time waits for no one
Everything I've done in the name of glory and possessions was all for nothing
All will crumble in the hands of its maker and then be born again
Images of stars lightyears ago as they live for a flicker in time
Hail the nothingness for that is all that remains
I shall remain for I am the king of the valleys and the mountains
Too hard I've fought to be wiped away from this existence
Give me a glimpse behind the veil
Show me the nature of our world
I shall remain for I am the king of the stars and the moonlight
Too much I've seen for it all to be a dream
For it all to mean nothing
Can the lifeless god hear my cries
Or is there no escape
My empire crumbles before my eyes
Lost in the stars before we die

Raw BM from Bosnia. Uninterested in the topic, however the raw black metal is of outstanding quality, for the underground scene that is. Highly recommended for unfiltered and raw BM aficionados.
