Queen of the Otherworld (2018)

Queen of the Otherworld

Written March 4 just after FAWM...

Feeding on pomegranates

My crown of petals turned blood red

Queen of the Otherworld

The one who you wished was dead

Flower power

Languages of magic spells

Resonance and correspondences

Beloved of Hades and of Hel

As above so below

As below so above

As Queen of the Otherworld

It's below I RULE

You tried to cut me down

Because you saw my beauty

But I just went underground

My roots sunk deep into my throne

Flower power

Languages of magic's spell

Resonance and correspondences

Beloved of Hades and of Hel

As above so below

As below so above

It's below I RULE

Kore, Persephone

Kore, Persephone

Now you'll learn to fear me

More than how you once desired me

You'll regret the torments you ordered

Since now I command

The legions of the damned!

Kore, Persephone

Kore, Persephone

Flower power

Languages of magic's spell

Resonance and correspondences

Beloved of Hades and of Hel

As above so below

As below so above

As Queen of the Otherworld

It's below I RULE

Feeding on pomegranates

My crown of petals turned blood red

Queen of the Otherworld

The one who you wished was dead

Ancient Battle (FAWM 2018)

Ancient Battle

Inspired by the same Tarot card plus the addition of a Bible quote: Ephesians 6:12.

Time signature changes, yasssss! ♥ I think this could be operatic prog metal. With a (choir) would be epic!

The choir line in the chorus with slashes changes after each verse like so: (1/2/3).

Lyrics

Across the dusted horizon
Soldiers gather throughout memory
Waiting, riding, slaying
Stench of blood and grime beneath the storm

Chorus:
Forests fall (forests grow)
Mountains crumble (mountains rise)
Lost in ancient battle (lost in time)
Angels from on high (spread their wings)
Endlessly fighting (flying for our lives/flying for our souls/flying for all hope)
Powers, wickedness, principalities

Beyond the clouds of history
Ravens circle waiting for their due
Warring, killing, dying
Our flesh sacrificed beneath the sun

Bridge:
The mighty powers of this dark world
Seek forever to enslave us free people
Temptations and lust the chains which bind us
To the uncaring evil

Within this constant process
Human will seeks heavenly places
Striving, thriving, resting
In peace of knowledge that we fought well

  Oooo... I like this epic, dark, struggle-against-our-temptations lyric!

Horses of the Red Sun (FAWM 2018)

Horses of the Red Sun

Inspired by drawing a Tarot card to write a set of lyrics on. Percolated in the back of my mind between the 2 instagram posts while doing other things, then lounged on the couch and wrote it.

Lyrics

How did I get here
What is this wasteland
Forgotten by sweet rain
Unfed
Untamed
Vast cosmic rays

Chorus:
Ahh the horses of the red sun
Hoofbeats strong as they run
Ahh the horses of the red sun
Hoofbeats strong as they run

Who are you now
What do you wish for
Seeking destiny
Encircled
Embodied
Small cosmic face

Glistening drops of
time equals energy
Chariot wheel
Entropy
Ending
Birth cosmic race

Outro:
Lions may try to devour us
But we carry the drum
Drum drum drummm go round run
Drum drum drummm go round run
<<BANG>>

  This one has a real primal feel to it. I can imagine a very tribal sounding or even celtic sounding music accompanying this. I really like the chorus. Its imagery is very evocative. Would love to hear this as a fully recorded song. Awesome job! See You In The Shadows!

Invocation (2003)

Invocation

"Life Lives On"

2003

Chagall

Chant and invocation to the four elements.

Lyrics:

I am that which in life must die
I am that which in life lives on

I am fast rushing air
Dawn light unfolding like a prayer
I am sunlight on the wing
With ancient knowledge I do sing

I am the sacred pyre
Ashes to ashes, fire to fire
I am the flame that fills the night
I am the spark of inner sight

I am the water's swell
Womb of the ocean, wishing well
I am the wisdom of the deep
And it's secrets I do keep

I am the fertile earth
Matter, creation, death, rebirth
I am the force that grows the corn
I am the heart, the soul reborn

I am that which in life must die
I am that which in life lives on
