Lyrics Dark Fortress

Dark Fortress

Venereal Dawn

I woke at first cold wisp of dawn

To frightened mourners' quiet lament

From brooding death into rock withdrawn,

To see upon my hand descend

A giant moth with burning wings

And a face like the god of fever

From tortured lands a whisper brings

To further grieve the unbeliever,

Then fast decays to liquid rot

Wherein one insane eye still reels

Towards horizons misbegot

In lurking ill beyond the veil

The glow of monstrous fetid light

Begins to seep into the world

Flee to the last few specks of night

Ere cursed sun his plague unfurls

It is too late

Here comes the dawn

Goddess of love, morning star

Oh how you have betrayed us all

Beneath your beauty, ghostly, far,

Boils pestilence, and horrors crawl

A wretched huddle by the cave

We watch our planet rolling slowly

Towards the festering unholy

Abyss of light that is our grave

Focul tău (Your fire)

Nu ne mai încălzește (No longer warms us)

Distrugerea ta (Your perdition)

Peste noi din cer (Upon us from the sky)

Fleshless tendrils rake the air

Where once sweet pastures bloomed in peace

Sickening rays in malice flair

What once gave life now broods disease

Blind and lost we perish, shattered

Earth lies battered

Sidereal venom spreads

Venereal dawn

Defiles all living matter

Erupts supernal atter

Ethereal, venereal dawn

With putrid fists corrupts and twists

Pandemic glow subdues the world

Ruthless, imperial, venereal dawn

Trees once kissed to majesty

By soothing stellar bliss

Now scream in silent anguish

As they're wrenched towards the sky

Infested roots seek waning

Darkness as they die

Choking in the cankerous air,

Now a smouldering abyss

Focul tău (Your fire)

Nu ne mai încălzește (No longer warms us)

Distrugerea ta (Your perdition)

Peste noi din cer (Upon us from the sky)

Abominations stalk the land

Sublimed from void and spite

Vestigial grace's venal hand

Failing beast and man alike

The foul sun rising

Daybreak begets

On the horizon

A silhouette

A man-like shape

Comes at us, writhing

Snakes 'neath burnt skin

Seething eyes, mouths agape

On fevered wings he is upon us

From his gorge retches a flood

To drench us as he grabs us, one by one,

In putrefying stolen blood

Venereal dawn

Defiles all living matter

Erupts supernal atter

Ethereal, venereal dawn

With putrid fists corrupts and twists

Pandemic glow subdues the world

Ruthless, imperial

Under necrotic cells, with plasma stained

The sun's disease cannot touch me

I faint as I'm dragged across mangled plains

Sânge să fi cu noi (Blood be with us)

Sânge cuprinde-ne (Blood embrace us)

Sânge ne va salva (Blood will save us)

Unul după altul (One by one)

Sânge peste noi (Blood upon us)

Sânge ne va proteja (Blood will guard us)

Sânge ne va salva (Blood will save us)

De soare (From the sun)

Sânge să fi cu noi (Blood be with us)

Sânge cuprinde-ne (Blood embrace us)

Sânge ne va salva (Blood will save us)

Unul după altul (One by one)

Sânge peste noi (Blood upon us)

Sânge ne va proteja (Blood will guard us)

Sânge ne va salva (Blood will save us)
