1. V.I.T.R.I.O.L
(/Lyrickal Magick : Proscriptor / Musick: Shaftiel/)
++++++++++++++++
They stare towards the heart
They stare at the stone -
He'll upend the plate of angels;
She'll upend the plate of angels
V dashes of Mercury
And Asaru's alchemy
Will channel V archangels...V archangels

Chorus I:
"IN THE SUN WE REMEMBER;
IN THE PLANETS WE FORGET -
WE'VE COME UNTO A HALL AND ASARU IS WHO WE'VE MET"

Huluppu roots are forked
Like veins in a canny hand;
Their leaves have scuttled
In spiraled force -
A VJ-fold nova,
Fleurs-de-lys...
V cards are placed in the hand of the course.

Chorus II:
"O' ABYSSIA WE RECALL;
IN SPIRALED FORCE, THEY WILL FALL -
MAN, STAFF AND THE SILVER-GILT KEY SHALL TAKE US TO VITRIOL"

Mandate Of Pandemonium (Solo(s); Shaftiel)

"DREAMER!" : "REDEEMER!"
"DREAMER!" : "REDEEMER!"
"DREAMER!" : "REDEEMER!"
"THE ABYSS!" : "VITRIOL!"

Repeat Mandate Of Pandemonium

Their Universe...
It's constantly changing,
And every change in force -
It's constantly dying
Svaddistthana:
Sakkya-ditti
Rearrange V cards, yet are the lying?

Repeat Chorus I:

Closing verdant curtains -
Closure is the apex;
One curve is the asp
But the snake is a path in light -
These twins are emerging,
Gemenis still verging,
Yet Aty still carries the knife

Repeat Chorus II:

- August/Mi Lúnasa, 1997 -


2. HALLSTATT
(/Lyrical Magick/Obscurity: Proscriptor & Equitant/Musick : Shaftiel & Equitant/)
++++++++++++
FROM AN EMPTY HOUSE...

In take-flight, the grey hawks verged upon a sunless sky -
Wild, whistling winds carried them sorely and sailed them bristly in the same shady sky
In take-ground, branded the mark of hall and heave; their martyrs never left -
2000 years, 2000 urn-burials, and 2000 lies have now been erased.

Chorus
"WE'LL KNEEL TOWARDS THE FOYER WITH OUR PRECIOUS SALZ!
WE'LL SOUND WITH HORN, CLASH WITH WOOD, AND CLEAVE WITH CALLS!
WE'VE WHITTLED THE BLADES OF HALLSTATTIAN SWORDS!"

In order to see such a legacy fire burn with a past that turned;
Anvils were forged at an early stage, molded a casts of iarn-lestair.
Ioldánach has spied on this mystery yet he's enkindled by the light -
With hues of argent lightning and ore of pure, the salt grants them mastery and might.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

HALLSTATT
AN SALAAN
AN BAS

"I see a battle; I feel the warp-spasm!" /Troid Warrior/
The poised warrior yowls with blood about his belt. /Ioldánach/
"Nothing shall draw my eyes away..." /Troid Warrior/
His heart stirs atrociously now to think. /Ioldánach/
"I convey the names to the planes of Destiny!" /Troid Warrior/
The poised warrior seeks an ancient scat for the "Stone". /Ioldánach/
"Wild, whistling winds still laugh at my howls!" /Troid Warrior/
These acts of tale-telling dilate him yo hate. /Ioldánach/

Repeat Bridge

Pre-Avouchment Of Parable

The young ones of Hallstatt, and the sky -
Silver-ilked spears have been whetted.
Vast hilts and sheeny "torgues of gold;"
Crafted from vanquished legacies.

Repeat Bridge

Avouchment Of Parable

"SPIRIT OF HORSEMEN AND SPIRIT OF IRON AGE ACCLAIM
THE FAME FOR 2000 CRYPTS AT HALLSTATT!!!"

3. MANANNÁN
(/Lyrical Magick/Obscurity : Proscriptor & Equitant/Musick : Proscriptor & Shaftiel/)
+++++++++++
I am a wave; on the rapt Cythrául
I am a flood; across thr croggy plain
I am a wind; of seven gales
I am a tear; the Sun lets fall

Chorus I:

I am
Manannán
Mac Lir
Noble warrior of lycanthropy
I am
Fachtna
High king
To shake thy cloak shall bring outbreak

I am a tide; that drags to engulfment
I am a current; a compass towards Visnech
I am a tempest; the onslaught of outburst
I am a zephyr; theirs is second pain

Chorus II:

I am
Manannán
Mac Lir
Avatar from sail to sea
Thy horse
Aonbharr
Grand Steed
Chariots forever lead

I am an ocean's womb; of all abysms
I am a blaze; for every burning bathym
I am a lure; of ther plumbless benthos
I am a breaker; bottomless doom

Chorus III:

I am
Manannán
Mac Lir
Shape-changer; Lar of deep
Thy sword
Fragarch
"The Answerer..."

Bridge:

Remember me, thou art all wind
And back with gusts thou shalt return.

I'm the hawk; above this cliff, behind the waves
I'm the thorn; exude this rose, yet fleece the sky
               ...fleece the sky

I'm the hill; where poets walk and Tara lies
I'm the throne; from a tantalizing glimpse
               ...from a tantalizing glimpse

Repeat 4th and 5th Verse:

Chorus IV:

Hear the thunder roll
I am
Manannán,
And fear the sky shall fall!

Repeat Chorus IV:

4. NEVER BLOW OUT THE EASTERN CANDLE
(/Lyrical Magick : Proscriptor/Musick : Shaftiel & Equitant/)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Never blow out the Eastern candle -
Your five-fold kiss was rather invoking;
Beside the chancel is your unphallic wand.
And use it wisely in order to fly.

Bridge

MOONFIRE!
ALLAXITOS!

My jewel is the lust from your kiss;
Your breasts made me the lover of the three-fold locus,
So take thy hand and join me for exilir,
and we shall ride the portentous serpent tonite.

Your five-fold tongue has defiled me,
I'm stranded by the tree of Storax -
Thus, we banish your unphallic wand,
In order to make our nexus ecstasy.

Repeat 3rd Verse

Bridge II

MOONFIRE!
CUM TO ME.
ALLAXTIOS!
CUM WITH THEE.

Chorus

NEVER BLOW OUT THE EASTERN CANDLE! /x3/

Repeat Chorus

FOREVER
