Lyrics: Seas of Blood (2007)
SERPENTARIUS
the 12 signs don't align as they scurry cross the sky
70 or more are simply forgotten
what's this 13th sign? honored only for his plight
interpreting the dreams of those around him
as we look up to the sky so high
we correlate our lives with the night
as we calmly lie each night
serpentarius we try
the eagle made his way to strike him down and end his days
pluto wielding a great bolt of thunder
he chose to raise the dead healing sick with serpent hands
robbing hell of it's due souls heading under
answers that we search inside to find
reveal themselves to us causing fright
as we slowly die each night
serpentarius we try to find the light
as we live our separate lives no ties
the universe survives spanning time
as we calmly lie this night
serpentarius we die to find the light
WANTS ME DEAD
life inspires my dread death is a warm bed
i know it will be the end for me soon…
he’ll have to wait for it don’t like it one bit
he will not be pleased if I don’t come to him….
i feel his breath he wants me dead
my lover calls to me i will ignore his plea
until it is time for me to leave this life
his screams do torment he is not patient
i am forced to leave before it’s my time
i know you were so sad and so lonely
i am glad to see you did long for me
will you take my hand
cause that is what you planned
UNDEAD FRIEND
you are scratching at my door
you want me to let you in
but i just can't pretend
that you aren't my undead friend
flesh is falling off your bones
while you stand in front of me
moaning all through the night
causing a dreadful fright
i know that you just want to be
right by my side but you can't see
that you can't stay
now please go away
i know this world you will not miss
you only long for my warm kiss
you will have to go
'cause I told you so
the gods call to you now
a full life you've had until now
they are calling
don't ignore them
you have served very well
on this world or maybe your hell?
you should not care
about staying here
you should not care
about staying here
slowly the night turns to morn
just so it can be reborn
you lay face on the ground
body's a boney mound
finally your souls at rest
no longer my nightly pest
you look down form the sky
and i sing this mournful cry
i know that you just longed to be
right by my side and now you see
that you can't stay
you are on your way
the memory of your embrace
will keep a smile upon my face
even though your dead
flying high instead
the souls stumble through night
causing loved ones turn on house-lights
it is widespread
nightly undead
i know soon i'll be free
to join you and then i will be
and old body
slowly rotting
NIDHOGG
deep within the earth
in the misty netherworld
lies a great dragon
he’s coiled around the wells
from which the waters flow
to nourish all the lands
he feeds upon the dead
as they journey down
way down below
he gnaws upon the roots
of the mighty tree
only to destroy it
i am the old dragon
death and resurrection
the light and all the dark
the heavens and the earth
he has no creation
existing only to
bring the world to it’s end
chaos gives him aid
in his daily plight
to drive the tree to ashes
the day of reckoning
is coming to a head
chaotic and destructive
the hearts of gods and men
will cause the cosmic end
laying waste around them
i am the old dragon
death and resurrection
the light and all the dark
the heavens and the earth
from the mighty depths
will rise the great nidhogg
the dragon who reigns high and low
he will rise above
the wasteland left behind
before decending down again
in that greatest void
what's left left of the world
gives birth to a daughter
the tree will grow again
bringing life throughout
to feed the hungry monster
Great Dragon, Fierce Nidhogg, Great Dragon
