Spectral Wound - A Diabolic Thirst [The Best Black Metal Album]

Lyrics to A Diabolic Thirst [The Best Black Metal Album] by Spectral Wound

Tracklist: 01. Imperial Saison Noire Lo, my child, 'tis a gala night Within the lonesome latter pears An angel throng, bewinged, bedight in veils Drowned in tears The sun descends What before us long beheld As triumphal pageantry Now stripped obscenely bare A macabre charade revealed Our harvest, this carnage This saison noire Would that you could stay, awaken the dead Would that you could fold your wings Make whole again But the storm, with throttling force Diles wreckage upon wreckage And hurls it at your feet They said repent, repent But to what end? Our glorious grand telos Now stands revealed This carnage, our harvest This saison noire 02. Frigid And Spellbound Wandering in a cursed vale Not barren but cluttered With sculptures and follies half-finished Elaborate creations And suddenly a spring By distance beheld Once upon its banks revealed A frozen, depthless river Defying you to drink Not even to drown A glittering facade Frigid and spellbound Come to me anon Deranged and defiled Twisting in dark passions Of the cruel nauseous hours Frigid and spellbound Frigid and spellbound Frigid and spellbound Frigid Night comes on like a hunted child A labyrinth of cold desire Night comes on like a hunter, child I step into the avalanche If there be brethren here Let them weep Clean cold veins Let them bleed 03. Soul Destroying Black Debauchery What hell is this? A noxious nameless mist Hangs like tatters, but binds like chains This morbid frame Writhing, rotting in the veins Sous les griffes du diable I have so long longed for the lance To lap these entrails bare, to divine Poison courses through blood, thickening and slow From cold crypted corners, rises once again Pallid, rotting on the vine I cast myself Sous les griffes du diable Le sang fatigue de l'homme dissipé What recourse, what remains Bu to reel the midnight through Sheer lunatic defiancе of Nature's fair designs Rank, decadеnt denial Against Bios, against Life I am betrayed, abandoned By the mute contempt of my own flesh I must wrench my death from this vital frame What recourse but to glut the maw The reeling midnight through 04. Mausoleal Drift We speak in fretful, frantic, timorous tones Prophesy We weep for a gilded age Larded and garlanded with what? What murder? What horror? What lavish surfeit of grief bequeathed? Eulogize o'er the ever-nearing end Clinging ever tighter To this million sorrowed breast But what dreader fears fester Than Armageddon denied? Better to quicken this immaculate decline And so, from paradisе blows the mingling storm With too-known horrors foretold Lo, what dire fatе do we mourn When grimmer tides threaten To persist to ebb and flow? Left to founder, tempest toss'd In blood-dimmed torrents, lost Left to founder, tempest toss'd In blood-dimmed torrents, lost 05. Fair Lucifer, Sad Relic Sad schemes of a dying breed A grand imperial design You call the wolves to gather But what cattle meet your cry? It comes for thee It comes for thee and thine Fair Lucifer! You falter, sad relic In haunting dreams pursued A howling at the gates A wailing din before the purple dawn The questing beast marauds A Grendel to your Hroth? Oh, but you know What the shadows enfold It comes for thee It comes for thee and thine Fair Lucifer! You falter, sad relic And don't you know Our sins shall be our own It comes for thee It comes for thee and thine Bear witness pale princе To the devil in all things But don't you know The shadows seep and seethе? In their bounty exceed The devil in all things The lamb lies bleating Wearing your crown 06. Diabolic Immanence In twilight born More than nocturne of day In predawn depths discern'd Your burning shape Luminous beneath a fevered moon What serpent grace defines The Line, the Cross and the Curve? So without a wall, some in misery To nihil bend in pompous form Durblind to the promise The fullness of the void Do only maenads know How much fat to be sucked From the earth of Utopia? So wisdom warps, so wisdom weaves In penumbral gloom In ash and bloom In carnal blasphemy Entangled violently In this, infernally A beast for thee
