Illnath - Bring Down The Witching Hour lyrics

Pools of black eternity

Sweeping down on brightly burning fires

When comes the righteous ones

Bringing the servants of leechy throngs

Angels, remembering every promise

Black vise crushing the feathers white

Come pain deliver us in darkness

Unknown, the promise of their demise

Intercepting a world

Dwelling in disbelief

Were able to exterminate

You Down-to-Earthlings

With truth that would toss you into suicidal grief

What renaissance this hour will bring

Dark grimoires of sorceries

Filled with spells of cursed conjurations

Bring down the witching hour

From earth to ashes we all shall fall

Those eyes, ebony enchanted

Pass on the undenying truth

Of youth there isn't any left

What came from this insanity?

Bring on pain and suffering

The answer for crimes

Plead as much you can

You liar, you fucking liar

Pools of black eternity

Sweeping down on brightly burning fires

Bring down the witching hour

From earth to ashes we all shall fall

Free men, shall come as the unwanted

Forcing the old ones to leave in vain

At last denial bringing justice

Cruel fate, they are forever slain

[Bring down the witching hour - Comments]

[This lyric was done as a sort of homage to all the witches that died at the stakes in medieval Europe. The lyric was done some time before Narrenschiff joined the band, but it was a lyric that both he and I liked a lot so we decided to keep it as it was.The lyric is all about how the righteous people of the church killed all these women and the masses loved them for it. But now, today the witches are returning in great numbers and today we have no hallowed men to slay them for their knowledge. In the studio we found that it could do with a couple of lines and Narrenschiff added the final touch, so it's basically a joint effort. The title itself is partly inspired by Anne Rice and her Mayfair Witches.]
