Paragon Of Pregnant Night
Twilight Ophera Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Through eden I shall lead exiled armies of dark divine
Celestial husks now feed pestilent legions of thine
Worms of faith we spread plaque chained in bloodline
Icons of cordial bleed, see sanguine streams entwine
You whores of phantom incestuous order,
Behold! Pray!
Paragon of pregnant night immortalized,
Besiege! Conquer!

From myriad Amaranthian shades
Breed inferior at last cascades
Those guardian runes broken
Litanies of nemesis once spoken
Opacous dungeons of Plutonian halls
Vomit her demonettes of scorn
Serpents of insest, stygian thralls
To witness avenging goddess born

Through eden I shall lead exiled armies of dark divine
Celestial husks now feed pestilent legions of thine
Worms of faith we spread plaque chained in bloodline
Icons of cordial bleed, see sanguine streams entwine

Vultures of havoc thirst as veins of rust grew drier
Retreat of ardours host with pegasean wings aspire
