Darkness enthrones,
Silver shapes thence arose… Hark!
Whispers and moans,
Yet they’re silent as stone
Their eyes stare in sorrow,
Through mournful black hollows,
Whispers they rain,
With the chill ice creates
Estranged from their homes by a streams binding flow,
Here they remain so close, yet so far away
Shrouded in mist they cry,
So silent, their tears so dry
This bank they haunt, they gaze forlorn,
With starless eyes, their faces shone
Through winters knife and summers songs,
The tortured chords, of soundless groans
Their narrow new homes,
That reside in the grove, oh…
A goal so sweet,
Where even nymphs they do weep

Elizabeth, she sits alone and ponders on her fate,
Last night she saw her sister die, they burnt her at the stake
The villagers obsessed by fear, for God they must obey,
And voices near, outside her door, they’re calling out her name…
Elizabeth!
Their fists are pounding, the door it splinters, a crucifix is raised
“Elizabeth, thy charged herewith, the charge is heresy,
Child of darkness, Witch & Priestess tell us how you plead?
Innocence?! I scoff at thee, thy lies we’ll not believe,
Take her to the dungeon cells, extract a guilty plea”
Flayed in chambers, where friends and strangers, they scream in agony,
Sadistic laymen, who speak with rancour “Confess wench to thy sins!”
In bitter languish, she cries in darkness, this punishment so cruel,
The cells unlocked and she’s dragged in stocks, to die before the moon
Elizabeth is brought before a crowd who wait to see,
To see these Witches burn tonight, to mock their suffering
She’s tied unto a pole upon a pile of wood and leaves
A Priest begins the rites of death, her last chance to redeem…
Out of the crowd comes a blood-letting growl,
As some men bearing swords they burst through,
Fighting the guards at such perilous hour,
The men of the ring they withdrew,
And so she is saved, from her death at the stake,
Yes, Elizabeth’s saved from her doom,
On horseback they ride, like birds through black skies,
The Witches return to their brood
The villages vowed,
By God they won’t allow,
A Witch to escape again,
For their sins they must pay!
The villagers vowed,
By God they’re empowered,
To seek out each Witch,
And punish them for him…

With each passing day as another, I feel the tears swelling in my eyes,
Bitter drops roll down my cheeks, I taste the salt, I see my tears, but you will not…
For I will not let you know, such things, my pain is my own and I will hold it tight,
Shelter in my castle where hope once breathed, suffocated now, by despair…

Dream Upon Tombs Adelaide, Australia
Borne on winds of sorrow in 1997, Dream Upon Tombs - When mortality has been laid to rest. The streams of existence become a blood ocean, unto a distant shore - a land beyond time - unchartable, sought by many and ruled by none...

Australian Black Metal. This is a fantastic demo! Only three little songs but there is more than enough to tell the greatness. The compositions & those raspy / raw vocals are superb & I totally agree with dharmalogos. I am sold & want more! Recommended!!!

The riffs are heavy and insanely catchy, the vocalist is evil incarnate, the rithyms are killer. I don't know how this band isn't on everyone's black metal bands to watch. I'm glad I stumbled on them and I hope to hear more from them. This is a finely produced EP.
