[Lyrics: LoSicco '97-'98]
Sea Seas within myself Yet see within myself What cannot be seen Lie Lies deep within my soul Yet cannot be the sole Purpose to my quest Time Time is but a stream A stream through which I cross Across the endless time In primal night I was always searching for an answer to The majesty of night and the peace of starless space The taint of Novas past and the stench of burning suns My will to find the place to escape the curse of light Needs Needs to be fulfilled Fulfilling in the need To right the venerable wrong Please Pleas my weary soul And all the souls who plea To regain sovereignty End End the venery And from the end begin The point which lost to time Caught within ":the dark backward and abysm of Time:"[1] I sought to find my way Lead solely by a faint string of crimson hue To bring me back upon myself Descent Into Time In fetters of time lies a measureless space A malfeasance in contradiction To a cosmos unbound when in times long ago The keepers of the continuum failed Return (To) Endless Night Creature of highest conciousness [2] Exists in the notch of the "eight" Seeking "the palpable obscure" [3] For I am The Dweller of Inanity Through Storms of cosmic dust I make my way Blinded by a thousand dying suns And through the grayest hole where a million realities exist I find where strip upon itself does turn Sea Seas within myself Yet see within myself What cannot be seen Lie Lies deep within my soul Yet cannot be the sole Purpose to my quest Time Time is but a stream A stream through which I cross Across the endless time [1 William Shakespeare] [2 Anne Rice] [3 John Milton] |

[Lyrics: LoSicco '97-'98]
(A) Candle black in silver stand with wind-kissed flame on wick Casts a flickering shadow of the ancient one Whose slowly moving presence toward the hoary tower casement Ascends to view outside his manse the scene revealed below Legions align on the red high land hills Not as one but as many (Once) warriors for she and now warriors for none Conflict in lust for the night Eyes with age unknown stare on at wheels, which turn below And so the scene repeats itself for he who watches all And unknown to those at odds in arms below A card was played one yet unseen Fools carry on in their bittersweet rage Salacious desire to have all Failure to them, while unknown is their fate For Night has Her chosen one That which does not Become part Of the one shall Become void First to feel the burning rays, to see the lie in light First too she who wrapped my wounds and healed in pale Unlight [Chorus] I am that Which can not end And from whom they all have come Divided to Dethrone her son Now they shall all Burn As One First to feel the burning rays, to see the lie in light First too she who wrapped my wounds and healed in pale Unlight Desire:a carnal need:to force upon their will Purging:a bloodline's end:cleansed in flame [Chorus] Alone now My will be done Unchallenged again in might Set at odds Those who once were And will never be again Divided to Dethrone her son United |

(Lyrics: LoSicco '98)
Caught within the scenes of time the warrior wakes again to find A prologue set by twilight rays through the breaking dawn A dawn unlike no other dawn as backdrop to proscenium The cursed cycle starts anew Himself "cast" down as lead On his feet a legend and on his throne a lord Bathed in crimson glory so the centuries have foretold The advent of the day when pale untruths shall be no more Usurping the hands of Fate Now to leave the dismal place and setting eastward the course he takes Skirts alongside the stagnant pond whose waters swirl with taint (For) Within the fetid mists and foul decay which on the natatorium lay The source of evils yet to be lie in wait Further east and all the while His grand design is planned Obscuration of the light (when) the balance is destroyed Ushering the epoch of the splendorous Unlight ":And so I set forth my mind resolute and might unchecked to rend my will upon the world. With centuries to prepare for the final battle and the glory that awaits in every drop of life:" Lust forever, lust for life, A lust Unmatched in human kind Fueled by such desires As may mold flesh to my want "Beauty as Might, and Might as Right" So seduced the lord From wanton whores the bloodsons came In legion issued forth Cursed for all eternity As seen by another also condemned Before the final blow is dealt What will be has been! :Too late the error revealed. The unparalleled pride of the ancient one now splintered through all the ages. With glory for one the ideal is lost, as is the war: Gone is the path to victory besmeared by consanguine wars Arrogance in the sons that I was fated to ignore For a greater lust that by design will never sate An all-consuming hunger unified by blackened hate A pause to look upon the world before I am reborn :A brilliant flash of light and the One Great Truth revealed The pain of clarity just seconds before oblivion and the slate is again wiped clean Where one time ends, another begins Caught within the scenes of Time: |

(Lyrics: LoSicco'96)
Once upon a star-less night Within my sky fell rays of light (Who) chanced upon a path unknown To all the path ends here. To approach me in my land Is to release the strongest dam Behind which oceans once duressed now flow to Ever's end I have become What is now and ever shall be The whisper of the timorous The Scarlet hue of the blood Once upon an ancient time When still I searched for truth I chanced to view a mortal's death Upon a cross a of wood Now as crest is to wave So time and time has passed: And brought an end to my quest Within this foreign land Tu-mul-tu-ous Years within the light Are now dispatched with swollen eyes And gaze towards blackened bliss Be for me and only me:All that can forever be A midnight cloak in ravens' black:To steal the jewels of night The lens through which as willed to be:The scenes of all Infinity Scroll through Chapter, line, and verse:And falls upon the page (No More) Traveling through Space and Time The spectrum collect lays at rest Stasis again now restored The day that the light was destroyed Be for me and only me:All that can forever be A midnight cloak in ravens' black:To steal the jewels of night Again to face the marvelous mysteries The Keys of Time are mine to employ To view again in triumph of blasphemy That which cannot shine anymore Fetid Pallid Death Cast down from the red mountain cliffs Cosmic earth and clay Upon your mother terra now lay Ancient puissant hands Now reach towards the heavens for all that I can (The) Final mendacity The End - a boundless lust may never see (Hunger:) For the fruits of time (Ethereal:) Ardor divine (Clarity:) In a now darkened sky The jewels of the night are mine! I have become What is now and ever shall be The whisper of the timorous The Scarlet hue of the blood Tu-mul-tu-ous Years within the light Are now dispatched with swollen eyes And gaze towards blackened bliss The spectrum collect lays at rest Stasis again now restored The day that the light was destroyed! |

(lyrics: LoSicco '96)
Deeper Down I lie, and in it all the night That I may never see, what's become of me. The wolves:howl above:yet for I:the peace that was once now has passed The caleche:rattles by:and again: the sustenance of life continues on its path A dark trip with nothing more to see The immortal soul's final destiny The enlightenment undoes the self Ancient ways:in infinite chaos unfolds:unwilling yet to see: Infinite scenes on my canvas are scrolled (A) Predacious creature:with only a mind to feed:The lust that wells within: Becomes as faltered as the seed That Germinates:within barren and arid soil:a wanton desire to be: Fought by nature and all her course A discourse:upon the "lie untold":That I may remove the self: And with it all the duplicities of old Sacrarium:within the mud and clay:yet still with heightened awareness: I sense the passing of the day Into dusk:and further into night:again my mistress calls me: To be with what is mine by right Winnowing Images Like "Life" so flows the lie Spuriosity Embracing Me Interring Me I am undone within I have seen one thousand twilights besmeared by western paling lights And in their wake the primal forces gathered to unite as one The time of darkness is upon us finally to cleanse the brood My "pride", my will, my lust unending will return me to the world For unto me chaos rapture I was never to be "whole" again undone within |

(lyrics: LoSicco '96-'97)
A scene of time flashes across the mind of the ancient one, defender and chosen soul above all by SHE. One of the isochronal encounters of Night's Warrior. Forever, the solitary legatee of HER gift and raptured soul unto SHE, he engages the weakened forces of light in the eternal affray: forever to be champion! Upon the sea of time I ride: to stay abreast of rising tides I cast a scorn-filled glance about this body black through which I pass Time of the Gathering disseminated troops advance upon the source Source of the pale and the jewel of the night Lead by HER desire SHE twists their threads to knot When at her peak in full & high While I have she to be my guide I will but champion the night! And rend my odium to (the) rest Hour at hand a force arrives with blades in hand And in their haste a claim to SHE is made to which I stand And ending yet another's quest the moon-bleached flesh is all that stands avoiding cosmic undertow my thoughts change course immortal beauty embracing me and beckons forth a brighter thread unseen by all when burst into existence her silver lips upon my brow as praise to crimson glory so enchanting in her lust in rapture to her bidding "Find in me your way through this:" "My gifts are yours to wield alone" avoiding cosmic undertow my thoughts change course immortal beauty embracing me :A pounding Lust to know her face A life to glimpse her shade As candle's wick may burn to end So quickly does light fade: |

(LYRICS: LoSicco '96)
Thirsting: With a lust that knows no bounds I Ride:Into night and further into Battle:With gauntlets raised and piercing cries The infinite flow of her womb The poignant spring from which all life doth bloom Now matched alone by the myriad of bones Broken seeping life, within the ravaged battled garden (The) Mother:of man must now dry her wetted Eyes for, it is upon her bitter sweet Nectar, I wish to glut And so doing ascend in might With power over all I rule (Ere the War) Storms on horizon, the ancient hands of time align Thunders toll the final hour of the mortals down below Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?! Earth shakes and gales break upon the red and cracking clay And spewing forth the raining slag begins to cleanse the fallen ones Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?! You'll slowly burn In hates black fire Realize the lie And the truth in pain Choked by thorns Blinded by "light" The living lie Burned Away Father inequity, bending down on broken knee The time of the fiery wrath has now come to pass Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?! You'll slowly burn In hates black fire Realize the lie And the truth in pain Choked by thorns Blinded by "light" The living lie Burned Away The blaze that began in the soul of the one Now sent upon the children of sun The child of night has now his ascent And crushed lay the feeble in death's stalwart grip Searing phlogiston as child rises high Blinks into darkness when through time he flies And onto a new terra firma he stands The cleanser of worlds has arrived! I Ride:Into night and further into time! |

Argentum chains, blind my eyes With silver spikes, I'm crucified Ignorant fools! Upon this pyre am I to burn? You can not win for life's to short for you to learn I am immortal and shall be when all is not I see the flesh to life and then to ground upon which it rots Within the night, a tribe revolts (I was) caught from behind (with) a kneblasch bolt Now return to a scene of foolish pride A camp surrounds a fire whose fueled by what was flesh of mine The meek pray, the timid shield their eyes A brilliant flame reflects upon the chains held fast inside A pool of essence and dripping fats Seep into the charred grass What light rejects can not pass I will rise from the ash Taint and earth combine As nature of my will With years between the flames and now A wounded tribesman nears His lifeblood issues forth Into my "resting ground" And occupying his vacant shell I walk the earth again I am immortal and shall be when all is not I see the flesh to life and then to ground upon which it rots I rise, I am the immortal crucified I rise, I am the immortal crucified I rise, I am the immortal crucified I rise, Your fucking Light has died I rise, I am the immortal crucified I rise, I am the immortal crucified I rise, I am the immortal crucified I rise, Your fucking Light has died |
