Ceremony of the Black Flame, Op. 4 Lyrics


I ignite your black flame

I call upon thee! Hear me!

Emerge from the desolate void

The void of chaos and darkness

Rise out of the shadows

I summon thee! Cruel alchemist of fire!

Rise from the shadows strife will begin

With ire you crush you foes

And defy all light and purity

Great Lord of Opposition

You rule the empire of the dead

You are the devourer of souls! Consume them!

Rise out of the shadows from another time

I drink from the River Styx

I cast myself out and oppose all

Your evil Empress

Guides me through the black flame

I send my soul forth, may she receive me

Engulfed in flames!

I worship thee and whisper old magic and chants

Grant me eternity, for the prophecy must be fulfilled

My sacrifice has made us whole

And restored true darkness

We are lords of the angles of eternity

We have power over the astral plane

I will shape the world in your shadow

I draw new life from your vital essence

Teach me! Possess me!

Through the black flame I rise

For I will continue your ancestral ways of alchemy

I take the scepter!

I take control!
