ancient - part ii lilith's embrace lyrics
caine:
“alone in the darkness i can hear the sweetest voice
whispering words of surcease and i rejoiced!
who would dare speak to one so condemned as i?
do you know of my most wicked crime?”
lilith:
“i’m known as lilith, your fahter’s first bride
like you i’m cursed to dwell in the shadows of night.”
caine:
“how can one survive here in the dark groves forlorn?
without a sole companion or a friend of some form?”
lilith:
“but there are many companions in my infinite kingdom.
through magick and sorcery i’ve found my freedom.”
caine:
“i was cold and she clothed me,
i starved and she fed me,
i was mournful yet she loved me.
i shed bl–dy tears and she made them
disappear she kissed away my fears.
her powers i could see would forever
set me free i begged her to awake me.
her blood, sweet as wine, as i drank
she would sigh then i closed my eyes.
into the dark i fell and fell a deepest abyss
surrounded by obscurity a price for her gift.
out from the frigid blackness came a radiant glimmering light
revealing the flaming archangel known as michael”
micheal:
“cursed son of adam, indeed his mercy is great
bow thy head and repent thine sins now before it’s too late.”
caine:
“not by his grace but my own,
i choose to live with pride
your “merciful” god disgusts me
his kingdom infested with lies.”
micheal:
“you sad irreverent fool have thee no shame?
tou shall forever fear the light of the living flame.”
caine:
“on the morning by silver wing raphael came to me and said
abel did firgive me not by his (forgiveness) but mine own
for darkness is my home.
i walk alone, my skin would burn by the sun’s rays i learned
and the dawn had returned to earth below
i did run seeking shelter from the sun
the endless night of caine had begun.
when i awoke, uriel appeared
the reaper with black wings
but thrice denied his grace
hence, my blood-curse begins & h-llip.”
