Lyrics The Vision Bleak

The Vision Bleak

Part I: The Shining Trapezohedron

["The Black Pharaoh Trilogy" Part 2]

An ancient shining crystal of non-euclidian form

Made of no earthly matter in a primal cosmic storm

It flew amongst the chaos in a time before the light

Until it reached these planes in the foulest of all nights

To the ice we call Antarctic it was brought

And treasured there and the secret of Lemuria

Could not withstand it's stare

It had sunken with Atlantis to the deepest of the sea

And now the greed of Khem's merchants at last sold it to me

Shine! The starry light may

Shine!

So wisdom shall be mine

From all space and time

Shine!

O haunter of the dark

My soul shall now be thine

Thy knowledge must be mine

I gazed into it's window and saw the three lobed burning eye,

The titan blur on black wings - Now I am it and it is I!

Black Pharaoh they call me though Nephren Ka's my name

And amongst the folk of the Nile

I spread my poison reign
