Wolf-hymn Lyrics

Wolf-hymn lyrics

[music & lyrics Thegn Damieus]







Eventide sets about Castle Vyrence



Autumnal winds blow leaves through it's iron gates



Thorny towers of cold stone loom



Silhouetted against a darkening vault



The naked limbs of hemming trees



Now the brume-cloaked haunts of bats



My dark spires cast long shadows



Where these terror-mists have set



I am the learned diabolist



I am the sorcerer of Vyrence



And with my bone-carven demon pipe



I enchant the song of wolves...







Baleful... Haunting... Eldritch... Piping



Hearken ~ the hymn of might



For it's lethargic dream-spell bemuses



I gaze up at the sanguine eye



While dark shapes bay in the courtyard below







I conduct the dark shapes



Lend an ear to the woods wind



The howls...







This eve we must abscond



To the filthy abbey of Perigon







Storm the abbey... Assail the clergy



About the fat monks throats



Lupine jaws of my assassins clamp



Tear their pious neck to shreds



And rip their holy robes to shreds







Delight to the serenade of the wolf



The horror-clawed ghosts of night



Like ebon-furred demons



Form the strange labyrinth of woods







Prepare the relics



Such lavish kindling they provide



The flames like a furnace



Leap from blazing Perigon



My cachination resounds



Above the boister of fire



Return to my Ivied tower of wont



Return the wolves to the night







I scent the passing smoke



Grey ghosts of the abbey raped



Drifting across the harvest moon



Beware the demon notes of the hunting wolf...
