Bal Sagoth Lyrics
Arcana Antediluvia

[Act I: The Argosy on the Eldritch Sea]

[The Antediluvian Oracle:]
And so it was written, that rage would carry him
like a howling wind, leaving only frozen corpses,
Their bones rattling in hollow armour, to tell
their tale in his wake.

[The Black Mariner:]
Behold, my blackened, grim and gory axe, the
searing glow of trenchant steel. I'll notch
another widow to my haft, and wreak red vengeance
'cross the waves. Tales of black-sailed argosies,
bedeviled by base treachery!

[The Antediluvian Oracle:]
His gaze is as fire, his words are as
spear-points, his voice is as thunder, his touch
as the plague!

[The Black Mariner:]
Storm-prow cleaving, dragon rending, nighted deeps
far, far below, Hail-scur scouring, sea devouring,
sunken realm's ethereal glow.

[The Antediluvian Oracle:]
And one night, there came a storm, a storm with
searing red winds. Fire and steel rode within it,
and vengeance writ in thunder and blood!

[The Black Mariner:]
Down sixty fathoms, from stygian coral-clad tombs,
the pitiless abyssal sea disgorges its shambling
mold-mottled dead, Dank innards blackly acoil with
nests of slithering things! Ghosts aglide upon the
eldritch seas, unfathomed voyage to ascendancy,
Traitorous blood, the surf roils red, churning
crimson, thrice-cursed dead.

[The Antediluvian Oracle:]
'Tis enough that men might dream of being kings
without aspiring to the power of gods.
