ELEPHANT LYRICS

1. The Black Well


A deep black well in the dismal darkness
A wormhole to hell - Dominium Daemonicus
A hidden stream of the Underworld
Crawls through these twisted catacombs
A nameless cult in amorphous array
Encircle the pit for their unspeakable ritual
The iridescent boiling blood casts shapeless shadows
As the iron grip of Evil closes them in

Strange howling horrifies the feeble countryside
A sound like no earthly creature ever made
The frantic wailing reaches a fever pitch
Invoking the ghoulish dead from their forgotten tombs

Inhuman, unearthly, horrid mockeries of animals
Insane, absurd, loathsome zombified devourers
Silently creeping schizophrenic terror
Deathless, eternal Reges Serpentis

Raping the mind infested with worms
Sanity flees the dank empty skull
In the night sky the moon is laughing
As the lonely stars babble in godless confusion

The Black Serpents return to their eldritch sanctum
Their blasphemous swaying has ceased for now
Back to the Sea of Abomination
Coiled in dreamless submerged sleep
The cult gazes longingly at the still black water
Profane euphoria fertilizes their grey minds
Not desiring the light of the sun
Captured forever in ultimate fear


2. Carcharadon Megaladon


In the dark sunless waters of the abyss
The wretched monster swims relentlessly in maddening cycles
Forgotten by time, abandoned by death
Driven by the bloodlust of hellish eons in mute solitude

The giant squid have seen its terror as it snaps off their body
Polluting the water with a murk of ink and blood
The sick stump that remains is feast for ravenous sharks

Dismembered octopi serve as testimony of its demoniac cruelty
As once mighty tentacles now lie in tangled heaps in undersea trenches
And their corroded heads drift like gory mucus

An enemy of whales for their music brings harmony to the aquatic empire
It rages against them - indomitable - inexorable
In the agony of evil it scorns all creation

It hunted the icthyosaur into extinction
The great sea snakes of Naguil found lairs elsewhere
Carcharadon megaladon - the warrior supreme

Alone in the ocean, the tyrant
Ageless abomination in odious ecstasy


3. As Darkness Hits


Sleep comes, night falls, the death of another day
No strength to stay awake, the world fades away
And only my dreams can comfort now
Must find the meaning of all this somehow

Into bed I slowly sink, the promise of its warmth
A journey yet to undertake in my weary state
And only my dreams can comfort now
Must find the meaning of all this somehow

On these cold black winter nights, when children play by the graveyard lights
Gypsies ask me what is life and paranoid I quest to find
Far into my dreams I ride beyond the rooms where I used to hide
Six silver gates unto heaven rise, the moon is the only familiar sight
Magnetic fields of auroral light, blue phantasms in nocturnal flight
Aging here is not a threat, above the storm I conquer death
Ascending mountains to the stars, walking the windblown plains of Mars
Barren planets will be revived in the silent universe within the mind

O how I enjoy the visions my mind manifests
Imagination freely opens when the body rests

Tomorrow when the sun has set and the stars are lit
Another dream I shall await as darkness hits


4. The Faust Complex


I now demand ultimate knowledge
For I've learned all I can under the sun
In my chamber chronicling the codex of history
My appetite whetted, I must know more

I cast off the triple deity of Jove
Not fooled by the stained glass illusion
An immaculate monument frustrating aspirations
Holy, defiled, it is no place for me

A storming descent through the heavenly body
Galactic garden of orbital alignment
Chaos to consequence in unnatural order
The sinister alchemist at the edge of abyss
Yet I am the observer and the observed
And my immortal soul is all I sacrifice
To understand the universe infinite
The deified symmetry of omnipotence
Lucifer, son of light, show me the patterns of life
For he who understands the game commands all space and time
Lucifer, my champion, illuminate for me
Kings' and tyrants' power and the cycle of destiny

Aries, Aries, god of war, send me to my death
Zeus, god above all gods, revive me with your breath
Lucifer, my shining star, your light is waning cold
My eyes are faint, my body aflame, inside I'm grey and old
The beast, the man, the goat, the horns, the mask has been removed
The morning star, the adversary leaves me at my doom

I, the arrogant amateur, have taken all of creation upon myself
And now, devoid of soul, my understanding is darkened again
At last all I desire is peace and a chance to make amends
For love is beyond knowledge - an emotion based on simple faith
Margaret, my love, please hearken to my cry
My quest it has been all in vain and now I finally die
As my story ends, I understand your heart
For all that I have learned, I can't explain your love


5. Transfiguration


Come Foundation, Come Sons of Thunder
To witness a vision that will make you tremble
God revealed to you that I am the Christ
Now prepare your eyes to harmonize with your faith

He spoke of Jerusalem, of suffering and death
He spoke of Resurrection, that he would rise again
Above and away from the surrounding world
The Messiah's glory was revealed

His face shone as the sun, his raiment white as light
Enveloped in the sanctuary of God's presence
Peter, James and John fell to their faces in fear
It's good for us to be here, but we are so afraid

The Light of the World set on the mountaintop
Moses and Elias appeared and spoke with him
Bewilderment and wonder then a voice out of the cloud
This is my beloved Son, hear you Him

Fear not at what you have seen
Understand that I am the Son of God
Feet on the Rock, eyes to the sky
Our minds transformed as we follow the light


6. The Blessing Of The Bat'Leth


From a lock of my hair I create my sword
Supremacy and strength are contained in the cord
From the lava of Kri'stak and the waters of Lursor
In the pits of Cronos my weapon is born

Thy name is Bat'leth, O sacred blade
To usurp the hammer that the Tyrant made
By shattering the cranium and spilling the blood
My spirit enriched in the crimson flood

B'aski't Kor! B'askr'ip Kor! Kohman-a-ti! B'aski't Kor!

Excited by the steaming stench of slaughter
The thrill of battle empowers my soul
Frenzied by warlust's rapturous throes
I trample the bodies of the overthrown
Legends are born of epic struggles
Immolation of empires and worlds destroyed
Bestial splendor in the slaying of enemies
A roar of triumph, the gods tremble
My deeds today shall never be forgotten
Extolling the camaraderie of ritual combat
Forever our race shall be victorious
Conquering all who dare to invade
I prefer a glorious death over dishonor
In Stovakor I'll stand and fight again
Now I celebrate and indulge in Bloodwine
You have fought with honor; now die!


7. Dark Blood Apple


[instrumental]


8. Shrouded Sleep


In shrouded sleep I lie
As my astral body is cast through time
Flying through infinity on scaly wings
Transcending nightmares and the waking world
The necromancer buried alive struggles to break free
From the black-masked dementors of inferno
A cyclonic cone of fear roars beneath the ground
Its very presence paralyzes the living
He'll overcome the sting of death, his tormentors will see
Armies of a thousand seraphim, invulnerable to be
No more shall mankind hide from evil's wrath and hateful lies
Our immortality prevails by the failing nephil cries

I enter other realms of magic
Witches incant behind clouds of colored smoke
The passion - a rapture of wicked convulsion
Spellbound to the dream forevermore
Haunting entreaties to sail through the heavens
Where galaxies glow like enlightened palaces
Fables and mythos alive in the twilight
Channeling the legends of a nameless past
I sit within a cube of glass, a thrall enchants my eyes
Warlocks surround the crystal tearing away the skies
Invoking primal chaos, former ages pass
Stalks of flame engulf the earth in burning gas

Monuments rise proud as mountains
Symbols of conquest achieving eternity
To dust and ash reduced as a floating musty sea
A mausoleum of ancient memories

Great kings have come and gone by the sun and moon
For all their power their bodies now drift like desert sands
A wish - a soul trapped in an endless forest
A timeless maze adrift in emptiness
Some dreams die and some live on though none can ever tell
Of how their fates were scattered in the cosmic wishing well
Another time into the night on silver spheres we glide
Another life will come to be and join the churning tide


9. Invasion Of The Purple Elephants


Purple elephants
The purple elephants coming to town
