The Test of Wisdom - Enfold Darkness

«I command thee, join me for test of power is complete»

And we oblige, to Thagirion we trek

In the midst of those who bellow grief

We descend

And behold the chatter and gnashing spewed forth from the mouths

Of the fateful dead forever bound in servitude, bitter slaves to the black

The black hand guideth me beyond the wall of dreams

Where demons dwell amidst th fallen souls and quell their bittr screams

Beneath the grounds we tread, in the halls of the hallowed dead

The burning wisdom in the heart of darkness — manifest

A blinding flash

And clap of thunder

Reveals the obscured path

The keepers of the flame surround he and I

Our hands are bound and our cloaks are pulled over our eyes

And we descend into the depths

Into the halls where darkest secrets are kept

Their mordant devils taunt and laugh at me

For I have only ears to hear without the eyes to see

And with this test of wisdom all shall be revealed

The flames consume and make us one

The starless crypt, unsealed

A hand so cold

Reached and touched my face

In a moment darkest symphonies

Swelled and rose inside of me

Sweet liberating force, rend my soul in twain!

O' great lord, into me you see, into me, I see

Our souls rejoice as wisdom flo-eth free and darkness spreads across the lands

Hail to the true bearer of light

Ravenous beasts, spell bound into submission, line the walls of the halls

Paralyzed by fear, in a ghostly stare

Only pieces of the tortured souls remain

Broken and abhorred

Longing for dark desires

A void left unfilled

Their gaze cold as the master wizard rises for the black mass

O' great lord, into me you see, into me, I see

Our souls rejoice as wisdom flo-eth free and darkness spreads across the lands

Hail to the true bearer of light

And lo, eyes gazed from the one seated at the left hand

Of the grand master, a voice crawled from beneath his hood

«Beware, those who hear and nod in accordance, yet trespass against this bond

Will suffer a curse far beyond his mortal grave.»

The gates opened wide

The flame consumed

And time stood still…

Whilst the darkness grasps my soul

I chant to thee o' dark lord

I beseech me on this night

Induct me into your kingdom where the sun shall not rise

We usher in the timeless aeon the heavens regress and coil

Within these halls, all truths are known

The evils transform me from within, I am reborn

All cannot know truth, for blinding is the light

To the mind of the neophyte exposed to the flame

His lifeforce crippled, driven insane

And I cannot weep

For the fires of truth have destroyed all illusion

Within a dream of a dream, the conspiracy is clear to me

For salvation, he cries

Indiscernable screams drenched in agony

Unto the mount

Laid before his feet

Smokeless flame arise

Enter The Adversary

His utterance flowing through each fibre of my being

With knowledge given of the omnipotent Word

My insatiable lust for blood surged
