SUFFER THE WITCH TO LIVE I When the church bell rings twelve and the air is still and cold When mists rise and hearts beat slow: forthcoming to the death Naked under the night sky, anointed over the harridan Virgin hazel, virgin knife: bless the sacrament! Repeat I II A lone, consecrated circle
 Goads of power Barrier of heaven and earth Channeled catalyst of power
 That nobody may ever change The whip Three strikes The scourge Seven more Twenty-one Nine The blade of purification Exalted, august and ordained! III Un-beholden with the gawking of new eyes Eroticism unfastened and whispered to the moon There is no regard, no reverence of nature’s law or man’s Piscean suffering, affliction and denial: no more! IV Final craft aeon of the wise Time, space and matter: transcendence Mother of fancy, mother of the gods You shall suffer the witch to live Austere bearers’ of the cross They will suffer the witch to live Mother of fancy, mother of the gods You shall suffer the witch to live!

FATE OF THE GRAIL: PART I I Emblematic of wisdom The keepers and bringers Nahash advised they could consume the apple The conveyors of enlightenment They fought the suppressors of learning Bathed by starlight, cloaked in forest hue Pushed into a vast knack of heresy A legacy…warped by liars: strained by swindlers! II Essence of the lily, blood of the dragon The Lunar essence that fed the kings The great Sangreal running through time The binding agent of the mighty ring! III In swan-feather coats they strode Kings and queens of the Grail Labeled as witches and criminals, of sexual prowess, of warrior spirit Wisdom of the intrepid beast! IV Ladies of the fountain: denigrated as whores Fey folk, they swing them to the myth Pendragons carrying fairy blood Jealous swine of the Eucharist! Repeat III
3.
A MAGICIAN’S PRAYER I {A} DAWN: hailing to the East RA: I rejoice unto thee An acknowledgement To separate me from the cattle As they bask in banality I synchronize with the sun A connection between the worlds! I {B} NOON: hailing to the South HATHOR: I rejoice unto thee I gaze upon the logos that bind us all Whilst others sigh as they fail to see Satisfied with mediocrity They dare not question Empty vessels ripe for command! Chorus Four hails and foresight All elements are aligned Eight lauds of enchantment A traveller’s plight Four hails and foresight Grant me thy strength For this mortal fight! II DUSK: hailing to the West RA: I watch you depart Looking on in adoration Consumed, they are possessed Their spirits strangled by a material noose Flesh and bone, but nothing more Four hails and foresight O’ great ones Shine upon me thy light! III {A} MIDNIGHT: hailing to the North KHEPHRA: guardian of the evening sun I give thee gratitude upon my rest Visions of great magnitude: my dreams ensue Multitudes of swine ignore the oracles Magnitudes of slumber are entirely revealed Four hails and foresight ¬ A MAGICIAN’S PRAYER I give you; I give you, yet I give you my life! III {B} Artium Magister hails to the Boreal Sirius guards the dimensional, fundamental sash Four hails and foresight ¬ A MAGICIAN’S PRAYER I give you; I give you, yet I give you my life! Repeat I {A} Repeat I {B} Repeat Chorus

FATE OF THE GRAIL: PART II I The land of Elphame: no mere phantasy Beyond the portal twilight of this blemished world Neglected by the besmirched orthodox But the collective memory burns boundlessly bright Of the Sumerian and the Scythian times (An) abiding symbol, the one who clutches its own tail Cup of the waters for the great Sangreal Condemned as the mark of Cain, yet a true mark of sovereignty! II Defaced Fisher kings, monarchs of the grail Bloodstained Fisher kings, priest-kings marred by the hidden light Adepts of steel and deft of sorcery Return: Return to reclaim your right! (Now) III Dragon kings anointed with sacred fat Moving upon the waters of time Feeding upon maternal blood The nectar of supreme excellence! IV Kingly lines rotted and warped The new overlords perverting the course Grail kingship denounced A ringed halo or a noose? V Mighty ones of Gaul Kingship by blood not by man's decree Mighty ones of Gaul Kingship by blood not by man's decree! Repeat II

AS A BEING UNDEAD I Matriarch of death, nightmare and revulsion Of all things wild and winter Denied paradise to walk the earth alone And whisper to the dreaming…to the pensive men A delicate white corpse will be uncovered today Splinters of spectres will un-station through tonight Of all fixations crazed and withered Matron of dying, nightmare and repulsion! II Possession of all will, secrets and illusions Influence to love or madness Reveal the past and future, guard of the unknown Treasures, misgivings, honours and betrayals! III The astral remains of a violent end Talisman of unused vitality No longer chained to the earthly plane Doomed, eternal wraith! Repeat III IV Just as the brook horse leads its rider in CURSED AS A BEING UNDEAD Harmony within the hours, days and moons CURSED AS A BEING UNDEAD! Repeat IV V Departed, yet still no rest CURSED AS A BEING UNDEAD Communion with the stars, all time and space CURSED AS A BEING UNDEAD! Repeat V
6.
WHAT THE CARDS MAY TELL I {A} Why does the Zodiac affect Why a moon’s tide or transit A flight of the stars spell malice! I {B} Why a cleric’s prayers unheard Why are the supplicants tortured Penance to a star chained… Mortification! II A virgin’s blood-born eternity As the crucifix comforts the fool While the wolf tears at the veil And plays the cards as they lay! III Portent of the altered beast A warp spasmodic omen Blast from whence all life sprang Ring the bottomless caldron! IV Staring to the firmament WHAT THE CARDS MAY TELL Eden, or living hell WHAT THE CARDS MAY TELL! Repeat IV V Theatre of the night void WHAT THE CARDS MAY TELL Eden, or earthly hell WHAT THE CARDS MAY TELL! Repeat V
7.
THE WHISPERING VOID I Hidden by a screen of time Maybe never penetrated A veil waiting to be broken O’ NIHILITY Gashes of man’s former life Secrecies locked and concealed The bones of past generations broken O’ NOTHINGNESS Each more ancient than before Yet origins still shrouded in darkness The whispering void it called broken O’ NONENTITY! II Out from the dark, they came from the torpid dens Builders of dynasties and civilizations Mastering their domain, a fire was growing within them A whispering void it called! III He gained power of the beast, but it was his will to control the bending, desired forces of nature To answer his every command, every mandate, he finally crossed true power revealed to man! Repeat III Repeat I
