Acherontas - Paradigms of Nyx lyrics

One by one
Waves of ghastly ecstasy shatter me
I breathe fire as I shudder
The breath of a Goddess within me
Blood red crown
An alchemical coronation begins
As the essential salts of life flow downwards
Yet another caressing

Kiss after kiss the fire grows stronger
Everlasting flame that erupts from an
Aqueous fountain the sun and moon embrace
And together they writhe and bleed
With a sigh that is death and delight at once

Losing oneself into another
My ego becomes a ghost
A palid shade of my past
I am nothing now, for a moment, I am complete
I am dead and I am eternal

New life springs from within!
The premonition and anticipation
The desire and the triumph of will
The victory! The sword of power and
The poison of seduction
Eros and Thanatos hand to hand!
A frenzied dance, love at first sight!

An awakening so painful, yet so exquisite
Love and power, the shadow of one another!
New life springs from without!
By the sign of a great monolith
Unto the vastness of the starlit dome
The shell of Aphrodite opens
New life manifests
An awakening so painful, yet so exquisite!
