All Hope In Eclipse

Lyrics
A thousand nights once succoured me
in the shadow of Miss Anne Thropy,
sat gargoyle-limbed amid my licking flame.
A cruel tongue at work in Her secret vaults
sent Rebellion's embers into revolt.
The comming of extinction synched
to whimpers of my name.
My name!
Legion I arose, a flood of inhumanity,
an acid reign to purify the world.
The asp at Pharaoh's breast,
the Atom split under duress.
A sniper at the gates of spattered pearl!
My heart torn apart left a rifled grave,
save for an unfurled flag of hate to
enthral a mindless zombie race.
All heil, all heil, all heil
the Serpentine's gift.
All heil, love fails,
all hope lies in eclipse.
Black bibles I incribed, the words
"Damnation through design" seemed a
bitter truth far better for the lie.
For as hope was felled by reason,
forlorn became the season.
And Death was swift to swallow
on the heels of life.
Lowered souls growing cold,
tentered easy prey.
When heaven's flock,
a fair game, dropped.
I bored of war with God
with greater thrones to claim.
All heil, all heil, all heil
the Serpentine's gift.
All heil, love fails,
all hope lies in eclipse.
Then between the past and the
ravening dark a sly Messiah came.
In the thick of treaty with obligatory greed
she stole the soul, Hate had sold away.
An ancient chill
blew down the centuries,
that night atonement's eyes
lit a burning man in me.
When love lay bleeding
and Fates sate feeding
from wounds gored 'neath
those cherubic wings
She of kindred light
gladly sacrificed Eternity
just to be with me.
As the moon whose silvered fingers play
on words and dreams too cursed for day,
she led my hand to lands I'd not accrued.
Where the Faun Dawn bathed Her golden hair,
and faith renewed leapt joyous there
I praised their worth then planned
their conquest too.
Alright!
All heil, all heil, all heil
the Serpentine's gift.
All heil, love fails,
all hope lies in eclipse.
All heil, all heil, all heil
the Libertine's wish.
All heil, love fails,
all hope lies in eclipse...
...and ignorance is truly bliss.
in the shadow of Miss Anne Thropy,
sat gargoyle-limbed amid my licking flame.
A cruel tongue at work in Her secret vaults
sent Rebellion's embers into revolt.

to whimpers of my name.
