"Nightmares Of An Ether Drinker" lyrics

"Nightmares Of An Ether Drinker"

Bursting with madness the moon shall derange
The ether caresses my veins
Cursing the feverous reign
I taste the change

Lips curl, my grip starts to harden
Maelstroms are loosed in the garden

Angels will whisper bane
Hidden meanings in the teachings of pain
Time warps with their kiss bestowed again

Go go go tidal vertigo
Back is an arrogant front
Truth is a lie, suicidal eyes
Plummet from the summit of this pissed-up...

Nightmare

Hellucinations, bare mountain night
Walpurgis is thirsting for souls
My coven is sloven
For blood still muds the knolls

Visions soar phantasmagorical
Collidescopic, whetting the oracle

Fast awake to make this dreamland obey
Forsaking others for the chasing of prey
I take another drought, fates spirit me away

Go go go wicked vertigo
Intoxication is a fur
Worn about stitched arctic shoulders
It sets this melancholy beast to purr

Lost in bliss, the mooring slips

Hyde is high and mighty
In veneration of his role

Dreams amass
Nightmares are rising
Dreams amass
Unsympathising
Dreams a massacre

I have left bereft the flesh
Sanctuary for the grail of woe

Now suddenly I see, I see, I see
Like innocent breath through a perfumed harem
A gash of lightning tearing ashen skies
Betray the scene
A deathless army, the greatest never been
Lurks frighteningly silent
Hanging on the fatal call for carnage

Come the awful sundering
The devilment is thundering

Fellow travellers tread careful
Hell awaits diethyl dreams
These lush pretense dimensions wean

Come the awful sundering
The devilment is thundering

Seeking ways back to our world
Eldritch curators scheme
Horrors rush upon us as we flee

I plunge on a comet, vomit the sea
Lunge upright to flames advancing on me
Dancing like Mardi Gras dark company

Dreams amass
Nightmares are rising
Dreams amass
Unsympathising
Dreams a massacre

I am riding high tonight
In celebration of my role

Dreams amass
Nightmares are rising
Dreams amass
Unsympathising
Dreams a massacre

I will leave relieved my flesh
Sanctuary for the grail of woe
