1.	White Hand 04:55	lyrics
Tortured and mutilated Ruined and terrible form of life Perfected in The Fires Burning Fangorn Oak You do not know pain; you do not know fear. You will taste man-flesh! Cloud. Shadow. Earth. Flesh. Hear my Voice Follow my hand A new power is rising Its victory is at hand There will be no dawn for men the white light can be broken Wake up Caradhras! May your horn be bloodstained! Cloud. Shadow. Earth. Flesh. Hear my Voice Follow my hand “So you have chosen...death.”
2.	Pallid Mask 03:58	lyrics
Along the shore the cloud waves break, The twin suns sink behind the lake, The shadows lengthen In Carcosa. Strange is the night where black stars rise, And strange moons circle through the skies But stranger still is Lost Carcosa. Songs that the Hyades shall sing, Where flap the tatters of the King, Must die unheard in Dim Carcosa. Song of my soul, my voice is dead; Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed Shall dry and die in Lost Carcosa.
3.	Children Of Starry Wisdom 05:48	lyrics
Blow the Horn of Abraxas Call the Haunter of the dark A stone of angles and glass Let us see beyond space and time I have spirit everlasting! I have radiant light! I possess elucidations you will never know! Nephren-Ka Let Us See Nephren-Ka Grant us eyes to see Nephren-Ka Will we wake up? Nephren-Ka Will we remember?
4.	The Tainted Blade Of Pale Night 04:22	lyrics
From the abyssal lair Past the Endless maze From the Bone Castle Dressed in diaphanous light, She shimmers. Bending in wind, She speaks. Inaudibly low I don’t hear but I can see Her white shroud sways suggestively So mercyful she hides her sight A mere glimpse would break my mind I ask to serve I ask for succor Sweet fully she sings a strain My hand fills and I look down On ancient Obyrinth steel Its power attunes with my soul Like Dark glass bathed in tears An eye sits upon the hilt, Looking with lachrymal lust
5.	Vacuous 05:55	lyrics
Pale bood flows and hides the moon Coldblood flowers, in red glow, bloom She Hides the truth She hides the light Here the line is thin, Blurred by Kin When the red moon hangs low. Lakeside Lunarium Sunken ritual secrets Truth is a nightmare A Cage around the mind A Thousand Legs A Thousand Eyes Her children, phantasms at her side. ROM.
6.	The Yellow Sign 03:44	lyrics
“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God” Bow before black stars Waves of maggots Oceans of rot The phantom of truth Beholder of fraught Your mind sounded the depths Below the cloud lake Your Ancient heart belongs beating The last drum of The Imperial Dynasty If Madman’s knowledge is what you seek, Have you seen The Yellow Sign? Have you seen The Yellow Sign? Have you seen The Yellow Sign? Have you seen The Yellow Sign? Have you seen The Yellow Sign? Have you seen The Yellow Sign?
7.	Neon Black Heart 04:23	lyrics
Disengagement Swallows The Light That Once Consumed Us You Are So Hard To Quit Love Like Junkie’s Sick Dark Wave, Numbing Pain, Black Lungs, I Slip Away Blinding Light, Wasted Day, Withered Repose, Our Dream In Fray I Hear You In The Waters I Feel You In The Fire I Taste You In My Drink
8.	Songline 05:49	lyrics
Listen for the waning chants. Weep with them. Dream with Them. The Songs Must always be sung, Without them we ourselves should not be. The Path is in the rock The line is in the dance Now is all there is, all that ever was Follow the melody of life. Intonation of the soul The notes that sustain the universe are loud enough to see Colored by blood, the colour of death Open your ears to see. Open your eyes to listen Meet The rainbow serpent in Dreamtime Endless dream, Bottomless sea, Reveals all there is and can be May you find your worth in the waking world
