The lyrics were inspired by Brian Lumely's Necroscope series, in particular the Blood Brother's trilogy.
Lyrics
Nightrise on Starside
The cruel sun has gone, awake ! Arise !
Tributes of blood draw us from our keeps
Bones have built their spires
Flesh has shaped our war machines
Alight to the earth beneath a moonlit sky
Sulfurous eyes burning bright in the darkness
Summon up a mist to obscure us from sight
Now let the red madness transform us
Through our fog they flee before us
Webs of fear ensnare their minds
They shall be our thralls and substance
We grant death and birth to unlife
Raise sails
of metamorphic flesh
Carry us upon the night winds
To our black fortitude
before the dawn
For the blood is the life !
