Lyrics of 'REVENANT' by White Empress

Twas a soundless leaden eve where clouds draped oppressively
In forgotten fields of wistful history
There, my path from the light began
From one of fervent faith to one of bitter rivalry

Our journey starts from despairs of the soul, equated to no mortal sensation
More suitably sustained from lips prayed, in pious desperation

My vengeance was ripe among sacred stars
And holy sacraments cast down to sicken all, fashioned from the words of faith
My pestilent dominion poured forth, and rots the earth

Bonfires, infernal towers craving corpses
Pyre dead and torrid, a writhing anathema
And by holy hand, in forsaking my humanity

Kindled flesh of the damned
We chant this verses to bind their souls

Yolcam Gmicalz Vovina
Bring forth the power from below

Yolcam Gmicalz Vovina

Yolcam Gmicalz Vovina
Exalted words uttered from the nether

Yolcam Gmicalz Vovina
By scornful heavens, it is done!

The twelfth hour chimed upon moonlit night as embers kissed the cold
Where crimes befit the punishment, as shrieking choirs gather
And much like the hour death was kept in contempt’s bitter ledger

A ghostly presence comes to claim the sinful mortals
From halls of bone gray smiles

Turning dreams to haunted afterthought
Like the buried stench of decay will rise
When inverted crosses pointed northward

But I recall that dreadful eve
Within my stately manor trespassed two sons of jealousy
And forced naked austere flesh of my daughters so adored
Raped and ravaged to death their frail forms

And upon this discovery, grace fell from our once great house, as Stygian pacts were formed
For I knew not was possessed me but from there, morbid shadows grew

Enshrouded in curses pouring fourth from the all things, as the festering wound

My power grew to inhuman meaning
And invoked genocide rites from tongues still seething
As we herald the plague through the centuries
An ever reaching death-brand on all their progenies

Nevermore!
The unearthed bones cannot be interred

Nevermore!
A curse upon their house spoken in dead speeches

Nevermore!
Shall their lustful deeds reign unjudged

Nevermore!
Heretic spirits will come undone

Rise, Fulfill our pact

And take that which has been taken from me
She comes for you now, in ways no mortal eyes were meant to see
Hear the words as they echo in ethereal screams

Yolcam Gmicalz Vovina
Bring forth the power from below

Yolcam Gmicalz Vovina

Yolcam Gmicalz Vovina
Exalted words uttered from the nether

Yolcam Gmicalz Vovina
By scornful heavens, it is done!

Madness
A haze possess thee

Tragic
When she comes to take you from farthest reaches

And this
Your doom etched in prophecy

Unfortunate
Your sacrificed you cannot escape

Farewell descend to a place only the dead would know
Chosen son in perdition’s unity

These are the accounts and confessions scribed by dying light
For there but little time left before the white empress
She who is death itself, comes to claim another
I am sorry my child, this is your fate…

You, who are bound to cancered aura
Entombed in the arms of a nameless horror
Weeping within the body no longer your own
Death throes in the abyss
And left to perish alone
