arcane grail - anachoret's orisons lyrics

Loading...

hearings ’bout the devil’s coming spend as faster as
the sunlight
it hath reached the ancient village near the city of
avilles
there has lived the aged friar who has almost lost his
eyesight
but he not dement his reason and the power for his
years

he was praying at the icon of god in the monastery
hung on shoulder the bag with the gospel, and modestly
took the verge and went toward macabre nebelforst
that towers ruefully in the heart of black forest

he made the unconspicuous grey tabernacle
on the rivage of silvan warbling brooklet…
francis bode there peacefully (two days and one night),
just berrying and gazing as birds and bees flit

francis was ware, and every crackle
as the pr-ck of the profane morglay
he was afraid the temptation of soul
but not that his flesh would be slain

walking one day in the forest and banished the drear
fancies
francis was suddenly startled — he discerned a
spectral silhouette
which forthright vanished amid the trunks of the gleamy
trees,
seemed that in the sullen wood (was performing) a
magical frondage’s minuet

he stood unto the stool thereat the menorah, ignified
the flames
the old monk settled his mind and set to exalt the
prayer to the saints
the reason was sereneed and he plunged into the deep
sleep’s waves

barely he felt formication — he heard the horissonant
voice
as tartarean trump it tanged, and the blood curdled in
veins
“thou art outlander!” — it said — o it was the
atrocious noise
francis tried to gin to pray but he leaned to the
hithermost teil

“let wit ye that my soul had embrewed with blood of
thousands”
“my soul is so old and i hope that “jhesu’s sword” have
found you,
all-father’s clemency ain’t fineless and your soul will
be (as sure as fate)
haunted by h-llhounds”

“let thy flesh and blood be devoured by terrene
cerastes
dost ye want to enhalo thy caitiff soul?
thy omnipotent deity isn’t hearkeneth thy orisons and
pleas!”
“nay, i mere the meek theopathic thrall!”

“oh lawks, empower me this even!
behold, i apostrophize to you
avaunt, the varletry of devil!
erebus in this wield i’ve viewed”

francis, with name of god in mouth, aspersed the air,
which broke and ostended the bloodcurdling sight —
armoured “demons” were squirming and yowling; king
germanareh’s standing hardily afore, wincing at fury.

“well, you quasi have my army
but now my great suzerain citeth me
don’t think that your god is mightier him”

“six luceat lux!”

in the same flash of time all is perished…

“my faith won despite that my word was despisable,
oh god, why, his thersitical orations were so d-mnable
that i couldn’t listen them, my heart was cowered by
awe
the evil was permeating into my forworn reason more

dei gratia i have prevailed this horrendous fiend!”

[awakening of newborn light]

francis took his belongings, left the loaf’s crumbs for
squirrels, sained himself and went out.

next morrow he saw an auroral dawn
and his martyred soul began to moan
(that many slain people wouldn’t see it)
yes, blackened evil took their souls
but i believe that love is law in our world
(and beauty of this planet shall not wilt)

he knocked in the soil
at the marge of the wood
the blest timbered cross
which put out the roots…

and we’ll return into the rood!

after several years the marvelous oak grown there, its
vast branches shielded the gr-ssy path to the fragrant
pine forest. every man may rest in the shade of this
magnificent tree. if you stare intently to the bottom
of the trunk, you may decipher a small cross, etched in
the bark by one’s ungraspable design, and nothing can
abolish it, nor the time, men or natural elements.

already three hundred years peace and tranquility are
reigning there. no animated being is frightened of
ancient nighted horror, but the legend lives on the
mouth of local inhabitants.
