THE LAMP OF THOTH LYRICS

1. Into The Lair Of The Gorgon

The Gorgon bites,
The Gorgon likes,
To steal your soul

The Gorgon likes,
The Gorgon strikes,
To turn you to stone

Emotionally, you're masonry
You are so cold
The crumbling towers
Of her powers
Her architecture unfolds.

Her boulevards, her avenues,
Her spinning minarets,
Her gabled grains,
Her marble veins
A stony arabesque

Her moss strewn tomb
Her concrete womb
Archaic but blessed

Her endless maze
A world engraved
By a greater architect

You go in there, to prove you're cool
Now you're stone - so who's the fool?

2. Thomas The Rhymer

(Lonely dreamers are bound,
A sweeter evil ne'er found).

True Thomas lay on Huntlie bank;
A ferlie he spied we' his e'e;
And there he saw a ladye bright
Down by the Eildon Tree.

Her mantle o' the velvet fyne;
At ilka tett o' her horse's mane,
Hung fifty siller bells and nine.
True Thomas he pu'd aff his cap,
And louted down on his knee

'Hail to thee Mary, Queen of Heaven!
For thy peer on earth could never be.
'O no, O no, Thomas' she said,
'That name does not belong to me;

That am hither come to visit thee
'Harp and carp, Thomas,' she said;
'Harp and carp along we' me;
And if ye dare to kiss my lips,
Sure of your body I will be

'Betide me weal, betide me woe
That weird shall never daunten me.'
Syne he has kiss'd her rosy lips,
Underneath the Eildon Tree.

3. Ancient Fire

Ancient fire burning
Lord of Hell returning
All the people mourning
They know Death is coming!

Evil Priests in black robes
Swarm around like microbes
Serve their master's needs
With their darkened deeds

Ancient fire burning
Lord of Hell returning
All the people mourning
They know Death is coming

New star in the night sky
Like some giant red eye
Bathes the earth below
In eerie cosmic glow

All the world now in thrall
Exalted shadow will fall
A shadow from the East
The banners of The Beast!

Tide has turned it's blood red
All alive or undead
Now and ever after
Satan is your master!

4. Sing As You Slay

Rise and wake my Uruk-Hai
Under the gaze of Sauron's eye
For dark Mordor and Isengard
Strike them down - hit them hard!

Sauron waits and he waits in vain
For possession of the master ring
With evil thoughts dark lords entwine
Mankind needs the strength to die!

Rise and wake my Uruk-Hai
Under the gaze of Sauron's eye
For dark Mordor and Isengard
Strike them down - hit them hard!

Grant them pain and give me power
As I wait in this fucking tower
In blasphemy of elves and men
Crushed under blades of deadly sin

See their pain and see my power
Destruction reigns, creation flowers
So strike forth my bastard horde
The sons of whores shall rule the world

A white hand grasps for the master ring
I'll crown myself the evil king
Of Middle-earth of Endor all
For us to rise - the gods must fall!

Marching forth under blackened skies
