Bal-Sagoth - Spellcraft & Moonfire

Spellcraft & Moonfire (Beyond The Citadel Of Frosts)
From the album A Black Moon Broods Over Lemuria (1995)

Lyrics:

Black stone summoning the eternal power of the winter moon...

Fen-witch revel in ancient spellcraft, beneath a horned and waning moon,
Enchantress, heather-bride a' dreaming, the beckoning gloom enthralls me,
The Lord of Wolves haunts the forest, in brooding winter's icy rapture,
Hoarfrost glimmers 'neath the moon, sorcery opens fiend-haunted pathways before me.

Black Stone summoning the eternal power of the winter moon...

Enthralled by the evil lotus-dreams, witches' eyes agleam with candle-flame,
Nine Elven stones beneath the waves, whispered spells in serpent-tongues,
Gleaming sword in ice enshrined, Chaos-Throne witch-fire entwined,
Marsh grasses swaying 'neath the moon, dark spellcraft summons the Black Gate before me...

Icy waters whispering, Tower of Silence hides the shadow-key,
Ember-trees haunt my fevered dreams, Moon-Bride, sing thine dark enchantment.

The moonless abysses of mid-earth, black basaltic halls of night,
Ghoul-plagued darkness, vale of fiends, amorphous leige bloats and breeds.

Elder shadows writhing before the silvern gate of eternal winter,
Dark shapes entwine the mist-veiled cromlech,
Dying torchlight gleams on silent black waters,
Fen-wolves sing to the gibbous moon...

Arise from dreams, shape-shifting fiends,
Dance madly 'neath the moon,
To the pipes of bone, anoint the (witches') stone,
Beneath the ancient tomb.

Elder shadows writhing before the silvern gate of eternal winter,
Dark shapes entwine the mist-veiled cromlech.

Icy waters whispering, Tower of Silence hides the shadow-key,
Ember-trees haunt my fevered dreams, Moon-Bride, sing thine dark enchantment.

Black Stone summoning the eternal power of the winter moon...

The Lord of Wolves haunts the forest, in brooding winter's icy rapture,
Hoarfrost glimmers 'neath the moon, sorcery opens fiend-haunted pathways before me.
Gleaming sword in ice enshrined, Chaos-Throne witch-fire entwined,
Marsh grasses swaying 'neath the moon, dark spellcraft summons the Black Gate before me...

I heard Bal Sagoth when I was a young teen, maybe 14 or 15. First of all THANK YOU for posting Sagoth on here. I'm 25 years old, can't tell you how many times I tried to look for them and couldn't find them. Second of all, this is by far one of the best song by them. One of the most ball dragging, heavy, Earth Quaking, black songs out there.

please, noone ever call this band "core" anything...seriously

this is the best music to listen to while reading H.P. Lovecraft or Robert E. Howard

[WOLVENKOMMANDER]

@DecayedOfferings i was just informing everyone of my age when i first started listening to bal-sagoth. it's just something that i know everyone else on youtube wants to hear. no, im kidding. i made that comment just to add to the numerous other comments stating how old the commenter was when they first started listening to bal-sagoth. i don't know the purpose of the trend, but i want to be a part of it because i like to be trendy and do what everyone is doing. i just want to fit in.

[DecayedOfferings]

i was just 7 when i bought my first cd of theirs....not really. but who cares how old you guys were when you first heard a band! damn. this isnt directed towards you only tox0tes. at least you kids are listening to metal instead of mallcore shit like slipknot. so credit is earned there.
