lyrics

Turn your gaze towards the sky
Black feathered are the bearers of the sign
watch them circle and hear their cry
underneath the shadow of the swarm
there's a lonesome scholar, he stares in awe
the dread in his eyes,unparalleled terror

drawn to the peculiar
too strong, the urge for insight
swallowed by time - words, so strangely familiar yet so foreign
Apocrypha - phrases never to be uttered again

The darkest of arts and the greatest of sins
the frailty of hearts revealed by bottomless abyss
forgotten so long yet still lurking deep within
epitome of heresy - profane augury

hunted down by a vision too cruel to comprehend
unknowingness - such a blessing
But as it has been since the dawn of time
you too - fell for the hunger

oh reckless one
Ill-prepared for the consequence
oh feeble one
Forever gone is your innocence

The darkest of arts and the greatest of sins
the frailty of hearts revealed by bottomless abyss
forgotten so long yet still lurking deep within
epitome of heresy - profane augury

perversion of practices deemed unholy
by the adorers of false divinity
dwelling too long in the fens of the depraved
only to find yourself consumed
