Cosmic ignition in, choking on black wind Blood running down chromium steel Procession burning on two wheels Leather fist kissed death trip Through burning fields we ride Feel the lick of the Devil’s whip Through burning fields we ride Entranced by the violent flames Through burning fields we ride Gasoline running through my veins Through burning fields we ride Assend the mountain till you reach the sun Set your courses to the heart of the sun and roll on.

Your obsession with Death Goes a bit too far…and you wind up alone Drinking in the Dark! Nobody’s gunna change your mind These morbid visions you forever will find A healthy dose of hate and fear Will find you dancing in the cemetary of your mind Drinking the dark It’s waiting for you…to descend in to  The shadowed realm it’s made for you to dwell  Your obsession with Death Goes a bit too far…and you wind up alone Drinking in the Dark!

Stand before its massive gates  And stare across the seas of eternity It stares back in your vacant soul  And shows you all the things you never wanted to know Lost within its endless halls of shimmering light Where freezing winds endless howel  Strapped inside my silver machine, a spectacular scene Burning inside of the Temple! Dripping with sin~immaculate  Chrome Temple Trifolium of Chromium! Drifting through the stain glass sky Paying no attention if your even alive Floating past the Cosmic Core, in Pleroma we soar TO HEAVEN’S FRONT DOOR! Dripping with sin~immaculate  Chrome Temple! Celestial Hearst~behold thy curse Chrome Temple! Harvesting Eyes~knows all your lies Chrome Temple! Trifolium of Chromium! Fast tracking through subconscious floors of ethereal light Citadels rise within your mind a fantastic sight Anthropose living in a dream of Sophia’s soft light Trifolium of Chromium burning up the night! Chrome Temple!

Dust collects in ghost white sheets  Upon my body asleep  And I’m waking from a dream cold and bleak With bloodshot eyes I stare out to The world beyond these walls  And I’m yearning for a life of beauty and awe I now draw from sacred wells the will to love Reaching for the heavens and it’s golden light Breath deep triumphant winds to seize the dawn! I fell in love with a blue eyed horse Follow it through an unforgiving course  Black clouds we never seem to shake Forever bound by our ultimate fate We March up hill Cannot be killed  Stinging rain a fiendish enemy I’ll fight forever on this blue eyed horse A noble cause from an ancient lore Giving worth to a shadowed past Of grim mistakes I have made my last For I now see  What can be real To die again so once more I can feel We lift our heads to golden rose kissed dawn Tears of joy trickle down as we sing our song Of victory over death and eternal sleep Invoke the spell for my soul is mine to keep For we choose love Out pours our blood Into the rivers of eternity

Heraldry 02:45
I’ve been asleep for years and I’m yearning for the Sun The spell to break is smashed, dead and gone And in the cold dawn air The morning star does flare A heraldry of passion for all to see for ever more Ave Lucifer Salvé Satanis The dream I chased for years a laughable excuse  The shattered glass lay strewn, in a room that never had a use I’d burn it all away to reveal the child from before ForI now clench the blade and drink the blood  declaring holy war In his majestic light  The gift of breath and sight Divine defiance welling up beneath the ruins of men And in the cold dawn air The morning star does flare A heraldry of passion for all to see for ever more Arrange the fragments of a complicated past In order to find love that’s gunna last Conflagration across the sky promethean delight Fly with us regardless of the dying light And in the cold dawn air The morning star does flare A heraldry of passion for all to see for ever more In his majestic light  The gift of breath and sight Divine defiance welling up beneath the ruins of men

Ragged hat and a dusty coat this drifter enters town all loaded and broke He smells of gasoline and blood Completely filthy from the hole he’d dug He staggers for the neon lights A sanctuary hidden from sight Three shots of crow to calm the nerves  Anything to forget the girl She begged for mercy He didn’t flinch  He shot her twice and then again Before the eyes of a hateful god He killed the only one he’d loved A dark secret on a desert road—how will you ever—-cover your tracks Still haunted by her placid eyes—heaven forever—shall fade to black A lost soul sat empty inside——-his only friend a 45 How many more, have got to die…………So it goes

Erotic Elegy 03:39
Come on baby I want to  bring you  Immortal Ecstasy  Kiss the tears right off of your face So that you can now see clear Consecrate our love on the altar In a burning effegy  Surrender to the magic Of Erotic Elegy Incantation of adoration  Bathed in fertile moon light Cover each other in dirt and ash  Where we lay our bodies tonight And before dawn we shall awake  From an oh-so-rapturous dream Walk down to the river and Wash our bodies and souls clean (Chorus) And with the blessings fro the stars With hearts entwined we’ve come this far Hand in hand I walk with thee  Into the black horizon…alone You’re now closer Ever closer, closer now than ever before Open your eyes  lift your disguise

The fires rage in Alexandria  A brutal end to academia The mob it screams and shouts a pagan world is rooted out Hypatia washed away into the bloody tide that day. Her love of wisdom guided by Sophia’s dream Inspiration derived from an astral Queen Learning the sacred dwells in everything you see  The secrets of the cave exist in you and me. (Chorus) Your father’s wisdom you endure The Christian dogs are at the door They come with blades and flame looking heresy  Deface everything in the ancient university  Hypatia took a stand and they spilled her blood out on the sand Smoke billows up to god with his dripping bloody red right hand (Chorus) Hypatia you live still yet Your fire burns beyond death
10.
What once felt -Like eternity  Blows on by - Before it’s seen Dragging our hatred And the fear we eat Down this darkened path So we just let it be  (and fester) Lost time   And painful memories  Compounded    And crippling  A last wish To be redeemed Held back in Due to pride and greed Frantic resentment  Artificial enemies  Sinking deeper Through oceans of grief  Regretting everything Yet inside we weep For the souls we love And the child we keep (Locked inside) We once were told to trust our guts Struggling now to feel the love Escaping from this horrid rut Feeling the heat now from above Our hearts are warmer than our thoughts  Our wickedness defines us not A noxious host of endless strife Snuffed out and ridden from our lives
11.
Devotion 04:49
Setting fire to the bad habits  Do away with all this useless shit And I know, there will be, no love lost Cruising now at the speed of light  Cast aside the inner struggle and strife And within, my heart, will bear the cost Glowing embers glowing embers for her Growing brighter ever brighter to burn Ascend into ethereal clouds  Ripping away a diabolical shroud  I declare, myself, no longer untrue  No excuses for my devotion  Letting go of all the harm that’s been done Redemption, for those, who’ve paid the cost. In blood we cut out vous  Glowing embers, glowing embers for her Growing brighter, ever brighter to burn. Distillation of all hopes and dreams Come together with a primal scream for her Concentration of a love divine Come together beyond space and time.
