Lyrics to Heart Of Silence [Full Album 2023] by At The Altar Of The Horned God

Tracklist: 01. 00:00 Listen Stone, leaf, bone, shadow Listen to the trees, listen to the hollow 02. 04:32 Closing Circle A swirling memory Of times past Imagined remembrance Of a life not lived The circle is closing The chant can begin So we go together To were sleeping gods lie As we crawl into the darkness of past, present, and future We learn how much we’ve lost So much we’ll never have… Spots of shade, honeyed path Awaken to see the day We get back to being With hands raised, stretched to the limit As we crawl into the darkness of past, present, and future We learn how much we’ve lost So much we’ll never have… Allowing for what’s before us This small pocket of light This single journey A Shadow that covers it all The faces that were our gods They’re gone now The gods that we were Are all dead now 03. 09:40 Heart Of Silence Swirling, swirling Falling, falling Rotten bodies turned to dust Breaking, cracking Snapping, splitting All our bones and dreams combust Horned hooves trampling The woods are alive The Horned One is coming Tonight He shalt arrive Prepare the sacrifice The One With Horns awaits Their destiny has befallen them It’s He Who Desecrates Tonight He shall awake Staring into my unconscious mind Laying waste to nightmares Pushing light into my being The Door of Moonlight is open Its ivory threshold inviting It beckons me in A mirror reflection painted black Hidden in the heart of silence I enter and dissipate A midnight walk through the void An ever-expanding void 04. 14:15 Chthonic Summoning I offer Thee this sacrifice O Trophonios, Lord of nightmares! Attend my prayer and come O Trophonios, Granter of visions! Approach and come to this sacred rite O Trophonios, Slayer of doubt! And in your wisdom, please hear me now O Trophonios, Herald of the Night! Klûthi mou! Klûthi mou! Klûthi mou! Klûthi mou! Cool Water from the Earth below Bright Fire from the Air above Klûthi mou! Klûthi mou! Klûthi mou! Klûthi mou! Let opposites unite So that all our Arts be purified I stood in Thy presence at the Oracle I was blessed by Thy wisdom and marked by it I fulfilled the vows I made So hear me now and grant to me Thine aid Klûthi mou! Klûthi mou! Klûthi mou! Klûthi mou! Bless me with your essence So that I may delve deeper into Thy mysteries Cast Thine shadow over me So that the light of Truth Shines on my work! 05. 19:07 Guardian Of The Threshold I sing a prayer to the Old One Path Finder and Lord of the Hunt Cernunnos, Opener of Ways Guide of the Paths Between Sitter of the Doorway Attend to me You who hold opposites together Clear the threshold You who are life, death, dusk and dawn The hunter circling the oak Lead the way so that I may follow Remind me of my true self 06. 23:40 Anointed With Fire The serpent dips its head beneath the sea Eternal, thence to draw the strength it needs On earth to do indomitable deeds Master over the mystery of man Tormenting visions of the forebears King of the charnel ground Sunless desolation Ashes rising to the sky Restless world Carrion crows haunt the gardens Reigning over what used to be But never really was From the deep, anointed with fire Scattered amid the vast stars Scattered over the waters Carrying off mountains into exile Lungs full of fire and sparks Driving the beasts to madness Feasting on flesh that isn't their own Feeding on the souls of the dead Scarlet serpents slithering through The bloody halls of a city Drawing strength from the ghosts of the past And their burning fires 07. 28:30 God Is In The Rain [Suicide Commando cover] 08. 34:12 Severing Light I feel the crunch of dry leaves under my feet A golden pathway among the trees Shadows grow longer As the world quiets around me The first stars watch over me Trees bow and shake A powerful shadow rests upon me And I hear the sound of light A gentle touch and whisper As the night wanes I am gone A dreary light following me Through the trees Footsteps upon the dirt No moonlight to guide me The world feels new Cascading realities collapsing A gift given but not yet known Severing light and shadow I close my eyes, wake and see The moonlight finds my spirit
