WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM LYRICS

1. Wanderer Above The Sea Of Fog

The journey is long and steep
Sweat turns lack and runs with dust
Here I seek the edge of the world
The secrets that lie behind the veil
The rapture of the universe

As the sun pours down like honey
Three sentries loom at the skyline
Bravely staring on
Our sun of eternity pours down as it shines bright

Many souls slumber
On the mountainside below
Dressed in royal robes of green and red

My left hand points to the earth
My right towards the starry sky
Writhing serpent belt of eternity
Wrapped round my waist
Black banner blows in the wind
Emblazoned with the white rose of death

Under the cover of night, by fire light
Blood smoke in my lungs
Moss and blood in my hair
Ash in my eyes, I grip the torch
My light illuminates her ritual
Lost sigil burns in the dark
Her ecstasy shakes the cannon
The future now glows with a blue brilliance
In my mind's eye I can see a stronghold
With a moat of pure spring water
Spires of cedar and fir

2. Ahrimanic Trance

On this night
The light of the ancient world shines bright
Blessing the dark children of the valley
By this gold brilliance they are cleansed
The dog and the wolf howl as one

The twisted village cries out
With one voice
They scream at the heavens
With disdain and wonder
As the beasts rise
From beneath the waves

They come to tear flesh from bone
Love and sadness
Manifest both celebration and funeral
The moon rests within the river
Here in the valley of dust
Pale faces offer their invitations
And the shadow beings answer
Within the sixteenth encampment
Desolation and ecstasy reigns
Under a blood red moon
They mourn those taken away
In the cold grass they lay
Under a blood red moon they weep

The beasts will rise up
From the deep
And look you all in the eye
Behold the royal procession of tears

3. Ex Cathedra

You point a shattered mirror at the world
And mock those who dare to look
But you most of all are afraid
Of what you might see in the glass
Your fire once shined bright in the distance
The light in your eyes
Could have drawn poison from a wound
Your banner once fluttered in the mountain breeze
Red, gold, and silver but little color remains

I will still serve and love you
For your intention is as pure as it was
But your wounds are soaking through
The rivers will flow with your blood
And the crows will sing your name
As they build their winter nests
With your hair, bones and teeth

The wind will serve her emperor
And bring forth a cleansing storm
To wash it all away

Trilliums grow from the charred flesh of the old world
Broken glass, rusted metal
Brambles will draw the blood
Of all those who walk these lands

You point a shattered mirror at the world
And mock those who dare to look
But you most of all are afraid
Of what you might see in the glass

My thoughts slowly turn to the past
And her amethyst light
In the dark my shadow will stifle the light
And I will stay here in this labyrinth

4. Crystal Ammunition

As darkness falls
And the spirits of the night descend
Upon our kingdom of wolves
The great ravine vibrates
With a nocturnal energy
As the bat and the owl begin to stir

They drink deep
From the moonlight nectar
That wells up from the earth
And drips down from the night sky
As the stars sing in perfection
As salt and freshwater mix
The forest comes alive

Within this beauty
My mind turns to the past
All that has been built and destroyed
The fire that shined bright
Smolders in the twilight

I can still hear her voice
Dripping with venomous sorrow
I'll carry her amethyst light
Through this labyrinth
