Alvastra

from Decameron by Throne of Heresy

lyrics

In darkness a vision
A love forlorn
Bereft of joy
A life in servitude
Upon suffering acolyte
Revelations bestowed

And it is said:
When he walks across the earth with his plow
Sparing neither young nor old
Each shall be judged
And each shall die
In their own sin

The end is coming
Surrender to the sight
The lord has spoken
All men must die

Into darkness
Plunge the world anew
Unleash the final days
Born by revelations' truth

Bride of Christ
Living sacrifice
A life of flesh denied

A prophecy spoken
Thirty-three shall die
Cast them down before his eyes

Godly redeemer
Diviner of ways
Send the pious to their graves

Visions of death
Foreseen in auguries
Through fever dreams
A prior's confidence

At the abbey
Death shall ride forth
Claiming the souls
Of the damned

Why god why
Have you chosen me
For this gruesome task

Suffering in vain
Total loss of self
At the abbey of her dreams
Holy visions gained/Ascend the path of saints
