ANCIENT - Part Ii Lilith's Embrace lyrics

Caine:

"Alone in the darkness I can hear the sweetest voice

Whispering words of surcease and I rejoiced!

Who would dare speak to one so condemned as I?

Do you know of my most wicked crime?"

Lilith:

"I'm known as Lilith, your fahter's first bride

Like you I'm cursed to dwell in the shadows of night."

Caine:

"How can one survive here in the dark groves forlorn?

Without a sole companion or a friend of some form?"

Lilith:

"But there are many companions in my infinite kingdom.

Through magick and sorcery I've found my freedom."

Caine:

"I was cold and she clothed me,

I starved and she fed me,

I was mournful yet she loved me.

I she'd bloody tears and she made them

Disappear she kissed away my fears.

Her powers I could see would forever

Set me free I begged her to awake me.

Her blood, sweet as wine, as I drank

She would sigh then I closed my eyes.

Into the dark I fell and fell a deepest abyss

Surrounded by obscurity a price for her gift.

Out from the frigid blackness came a radiant glimmering light

Revealing the flaming archangel known as Michael"

Micheal:

"Cursed son of Adam, indeed His mercy is great

Bow thy head and repent thine sins now before it's too late."

Caine:

"Not by His grace but my own,

I choose to live with pride

Your "merciful" God disgusts me

His Kingdom infested with lies."

Micheal:

"You sad irreverent fool have thee no shame?

Tou shall forever fear the light of the Living Flame."

Caine:

"On the morning by silver wing Raphael came to me and said

Abel did firgive me not by his (forgiveness) but mine own

For darkness is my home.

I walk alone, my skin would burn by the sun's rays I learned

And the dawn had returned to earth below

I did run seeking shelter from the sun

The endless night of Caine had begun.

When I awoke, Uriel appeared

The reaper with black wings

But thrice denied his grace

Hence, my blood-curse begins & hellip."
