Bal-Sagoth - Dreaming Of Atlantean Spires

From the album A Black Moon Broods Over Lemuria (1995)

Lyrics:

All witches fly to me...

I have torn the veil of dreams, enraptured by (the gleam of) moon-frost's caress,
My heart is held in icy thrall, the horned moon's sweet enchantment,
The Topaz Throne is beckoning, the jewelled sword awaits my grasp,
The dreaming gods now grimly brood in the silence of Atlantean spires.

The sky is black with chaos-fiends, spellcraft rides with witch-storm's wings,
Beneath the vaults of time-lost tombs, sorcerers summon the Shadow-Kings.

All witches fly to me!

Witch of heather, moor and sea, come lay with me as twilight falls,
Grant me the black Elven sword and the draught of immortality,
The scent of night about your flesh, enfold me in this mist of lace,
Your lips grow red by candlelight, my beloved is raven-tressed.

The sky is black with chaos-fiends, spellcraft rides the witch-storm's wings,
Beneath the vaults of time-lost tombs, sorcerers summon the Shadow-Kings.

And now the blossoms fade,
Lost within your dark eyes (I drown within those ebon eyes)
The sweetest tears I taste (glistening upon your lips),
This ichor of your kisses...

Weave thy dark spells, 'neath the bright moon,
Witch-fire is glimmering through sunken marble halls.

The Black Gate opens... blood sates the Ebon Blade...

The sky is black with chaos-fiends, spellcraft rides the witch-storm's wings,
Beneath the vaults of time-lost tombs, sorcerers summon the Shadow-Kings.

The Topaz Throne is beckoning, the jewelled sword awaits my grasp,
The dreaming gods now grimly brood in the silence of Atlantean spires.

Every time I listen this I imagine massive heavy ornated citadels, glamouring spires, the black sun (a portal to the balck galaxy) and the atlantean armies fighting a desperate battle against the endless forces of the Z'Xulth, mmm maybe I should do fanart of this song, although I first have to finish a project I am working on...

Bal-Sagoth. AKA Summoning PART 2! =D

I kid, Bal-Sagoth are ingenious, if not a little ridiculous at times. This album in particular is just mind-blowing. The keyboards don't sound really tacky and out of place as they will could of done. They really work to lift this whole album and give it a really immersive fantasy atmosphere that I think Byron Roberts wanted to achieve from this band.
