Black Light Invocation
Prismic Deviation
Satan as a beam
Reflecting in my dream
You shall carry the light
Through an obscure room
Defy your own sense of sight
For He is coming soon
One dissimulated hole
From which flow the rays
A somber crack on the wall
Beyond, a dark power lays
"You will never see the light again",
The ultimate condition
As my mind turns insane
To achieve my unholy mission
Mastering the glass stone
Will bring Him down to Earth
Stretching my flesh along my bones
My enslavement... His birth !
The somber shrine silently unlocks
I follow the path out of the portal
Evil glyphs carved in the rocks
Onward to the land of mortals
No colour, only black shapes
Surrounded by a grey halo
Monochrome demonic landscapes
Upon which stars will no longer glow.
