ANCIENT - Part Iii Disciplines Of Caine lyrics

My wrathful cries of anguish filled that dismal night

I tore at my flesh and drank my crimson tears

When I glanced up appearing in a myriad of stars

The illustrious Archangel Gabriel shimmered

Like the moon in my eyes bringing mercy even to the damned.

But why? Why?

He spoke of a path

The path of Golconda

From wich my children could once again inhabit the light.

Without another word,

He disappeared and I conceived

I had awakened at last.

Then the bright-eyed demoness

Taught me how to hide from the eyes

Of those who dare to hunt us.

How to command obedience and demand respect.

Soon I found myself attaining (yet) greater powers

I could alter forms, control all beasts

And perceive beyond sights.

Eventually I had to abandon Lilith

And flee from the barren lands of Nod

Set out to procreate my progeny

Caine's children shall inherit the night.
