about

Inspired by The Book of Shadows by James Reese

lyrics

Part 1: The Priest

Condemned by thee
My house of faith
For acts of a hedonist fiend

Mine sins proclaimed
Smother me in shame as the
Hinges of hypocrisy did scream...

As the hinges of hypocrisy did scream

Thereafter destined
To dwell in the shadows
Banished from the light of day}

Thus revealed
This irony of faith
Cold and destined to decay

Cold and destined to decay...

Part II: The Priestess

Look to the shadows
My dear
Thy kin, thy future lay here
Come feast with us, with lust
Remain forever near

Come to mine bosom, mine hearth
Dark winds have cleared thy path
Autumn, she bids you de robe
Shed this skin that you loathe

Liberty... from chastity
We give to thee
Oh Sultry embrace of heresy

Liberty... from chastity
We give to thee
Oh Sultry embrace of heresy

Part III: The Incubus

Midst the light of 13 candles
A funeral of innocence

See me now as I behold thee
Henceforth abandon thy chains

Paradise beacons thee on this night
Thy flesh, thy soul, surrender

Untold pleasures await thee here
To fill thy veins with sin

We bid thee heresy
Befriend

We bid thee heresy
Befriend...

Blood and shadows
Did bequeath thee
Pleasures so vast
Now let us feast...
