Gloria Inferni

All the darkest dreams came true

She closed her eyes forever

The bride so calm and pale and sad

Here’s the agony she’d suffered

I was lead through a monumental hall

When a blow blinded me and I lost my way

Her ghastly face shrouded in a cloak

Six wings bleeding into six ebony cups

De Profundis – the trembling out of the depths

This infinite flame that crumbled her heart

Dribbling its dark venom

She said: Gloria Inferni

A shining dagger cutting through my breath

She collected my blood in a stone chalice

licking the blade with a wicked face

Suddenly encircled by a dreary cortege

Consciousness fades away,

conscience withers away

A cold trance spreads

It’s dusk already, but haunted by nocturnal demons …
