Lyrics - Of Carnage And A Gathering Of The Wolves by Bal-sagoth

Somewhere in the lightless, labyrinthine depths of the
Darkenhold forest...
VOICE
OF
THE
NIGHT:
Who are you, wanderer?
WANDERING
SPIRIT:
I can't remember...
VOICE
OF
THE
NIGHT:
The wolves are gathering,the stars are shifting...come, join us in the hunt.
THE
SYLVAN
ORACLE:
What arboreal augury be this?
Has the
Realm
Verdant at last seen the countenanceof the scourge born of prophecy?
What is thy scheme,
Zyl-
Zyn-
Horhuz?
VOICE
OF
THE
NIGHT:
Who are you, wanderer?
WANDERING
SPIRIT:
I have the scent...
VOICE
OF
THE
NIGHT:
Gaze into the mists...feel the earth thawing beneath your feet.
Come, bring down the prey.
THE
SYLVAN
ORACLE:
The wolves are gathering,
The stars are shifting,
This spectre at the feast,
This nectar of the vine.
VOICE
OF
THE
NIGHT:
Look at the power you possess...
See the might which you wield!
You know who you are, do you not?
WANDERING
SPIRIT:
Yes,
I am the scythe in the field at summer,
I am the thunder that awakens the earth,
I am that which gives the night air its chill.
VOICE
OF
THE
NIGHT:
Who are you, wanderer?
WANDERING
SPIRIT:
I am far beyond the ken of men...my gaze shall make the night tremble!
THE
SYLVAN
ORACLE:
So dour a mien, let all night's fulgors flame.
Behold, the ghost of a king as yet unborn!
He is the scourge, the thanatos, the cleansing fire, the purifying storm...he is the cataclysm given corporeal form!
Be wary that your progeny does not consume thee,
Zyl-
Zyn-
Horhuz... the
Voice of the
Night!
VOICE
OF
THE
NIGHT:
Who are you, my son?
WANDERING
SPIRIT:
Father...
I am annihilation incarnate!
