about

Inspired by The Book of Shadows by James Reese

lyrics

Once unknown this thing
The nature of my being
Now my summon heed
Twelve sisters of my creed


Thirteen seekers of shadows
Entwined in carnal rites
Underneath the Moon divine
Clad in nought but her silver light

A malice riddled vein did seep
The Vinum Sabati...
A sickly Autumn chill did whisper
“Arise ye Sorority!”

And so they danced, the drunken coven
Oblivious upon those seeds
Of the slaughter and bloody chaos
A winter when the vast river would freeze

Seething menace, hunger spawns
a plague

Icy was rendered all
the Seine

A crescendo of discontent
did rise

The heads of their sovereigns rolled as
Madness reigned

A Savage Winter Wrought of an Unclean Garden...

By carrion stench
The air is fouled

For all to see
A thousand dead lay piled

Primal minds
Succumbed to madness
In defiance of Eden
Furious, ravenous...

Can you hear me Mother?
Slowly heaves thy breast...
Can you hear me Mother?
Behold this silken flesh...

I roam these streets, awash in red

This tragic scene -
It renders my heart with dread!

And so they danced, the drunken coven
Oblivious upon those seeds
Of the slaughter and bloody chaos
A winter when the vast river would freeze

Oh cursed winter – bid me devour my own kin!

(in French)

Mother, can you hear me?
As you sleep, your breast it slowly heaves
- silken flesh that can sustain me through this night,
help me see tomorrow.
Oh cursed winter that bids me devour my own kin!
The weight of this dread upon my heart,
I cannot bear, nor can I bear the hunger that consumes me,
weakens me... Forgive me mother!
