The Sorcerer and the Demon
Faded right before his eyes
All he‘s ever loved
Perseverant he yearned
To bring her back
Ancient scripts forever forgotten
The spells getting darker
His will stays unbroken
To surpass everything
A fight for a soul that is lost
The sorcerer and the demon
Beyond time and redemption
The sorcerer and the demon
The road to hell is paved
With good intentions
The point of no return
Approaching to fast
Summoning the darkest demons
Consumed by anger
Lost in silent shadows
To burn in fire
A fight for a soul that is lost
The sorcerer and the demon
Beyond time and redemption
The sorcerer and the demon
Time, your my servant now
Only to my will you‘ll bow
Death, we‘ll meet in infinity
I will never accept this destiny
A fool, victim to hybris
The world lost with me
The price to pay
To dwell in silence
Her eyes reflecting horror
What I am, I don‘t know
I open my eyes
The demon is me
A fight for a soul that is lost
The sorcerer and the demon
Beyond time and redemption
The sorcerer and the demon

Astrology
Do you dread your own demise?
The end which you despise
Do you dare to take my hand?
I’ll bring your desires to an end
Ancient books, ancient signs
Secrets written in foreign lines
Rare earths, volcanic steams
Will fulfill your darkest dreams
I can see your destiny
A funeral eulogy
I will tell your destiny
With astrology
Sky of stars, read the signs
See the moon, orb that shines
Thy magnum opus will be done
Magnificent, oppose the sun
I can see your destiny
A funeral eulogy
I will tell your destiny
With astrology
Astrology, astrology
Gaze upon the stars
Read the ancient signs
Foresee your death
Sleepless nights
Cursed with second sight
Open eyes in the night
Dwell these solemn planes
As I drag my remains
Aeons and aeons pass my eyes
Vanished mind as time flies
The writing is blurred
A legacy never heard
I can see your destiny
A funeral eulogy
I will tell your destiny
With astrology

A Life in Exile

A Life in Exile
As sunlight touches the hills
I gaze on the horizon
The horse always saddled
Ready to leave anytime
Shelter becomes a prison
Invisible chains keep me down
Shadows grow, the sky turns grey
My heart yearns for a life in exile
Yeah - I‘ll leave with bile
A life in exile
As strings cease
A life in peace
An unbearable pain from within
Where rivers turn to gold
Nothing that’s left to loose
The sands of time are running out
Yeah - I‘ll leave with bile
A life in exile
As strings cease
A life in peace
Day in, day out, what was it all about?
I don’t know, all I know I gotta get out
Day out, day in, my soul grows so thin
All I know, I don’t know where I’ve been

The Clairvoyant’s Curse
I will remember tomorrow
No time for your sorrow
I see through your eyes
Unable to tell you lies
The future became certain
A gift lifted the curtain
Sanity vanished like sand
A curse without an end
Summoning of the crystal ball
The future is painted on the wall
The clairvoyant‘s curse
Death to me
The clairvoyant‘s gift
Death to me
Endless frustration
Eternal damnation
Words meet deaf ears
Despite their fears
Summoning of the crystal ball
The future is painted on the wall
The clairvoyant‘s curse
Death to me
The clairvoyant‘s gift
Death to me
Summoning of the crystal ball
The future is painted on the wall
The clairvoyant‘s curse
Death to me
The clairvoyant‘s gift
Death to me

Phantom Nightmare
We’re the ones, no one sets eyes on
We’re the ones, penetrate your mind
The sun descending, shadows bending
Silhouettes fading through the haze
We are lost in the night
We became strangers to the light
We embrace the darkest night
With love and beauty out of sight
You’re the ones, facing us with fear
You’re the ones, feasting our desire
We are lost in the night
We became strangers to the light
We embrace the darkest night
With love and beauty out of sight
Midnight - the darkest hour
We embrace the sinister night
Falling through a dream
Into the deepest abyss
Within your mind
Phantom nightmare
Loss for words
Phantom nightmare
As the phantoms rise
From the fire of your soul
Enchanting, forever granting
Break their lashing spell
Within your mind
Phantom nightmare
Loss for words
Phantom nightmare
Phantom nightmare

Thaumaturgy
Power of the stones
Wisdom from the trees
The gift of ancient ones
With a silent breeze
Rise, magician
Light, darkness
Thaumaturgy
By the power of thee
Gift of the sacred key
I, the master of all
Time until I will fall
Rise, magician
Light, darkness
Thaumaturgy

Old Nick - A New Generation Of Vampiric Conspiracies
by Old Nick
supported by 32 fans who also own “Phantom Nightmare”
Synthy, ultra processed black metal. It's a little goofy, but it makes for a nice change of pace from my usual fare.

Eternal Night
by Night of the Vampire
supported by 30 fans who also own “Phantom Nightmare”
Okay, the total runtime of this EP is like 10 minutes and I didn't even get through the first song before I'd already bought it. This is really an example of an artist knowing *exactly* what their vision is right out the gate and I cannot wait for more.
