Primus Venatoris Lyrics

Paleblood,
unshackle me from this dream
her memory no longer sustains my desire to go on
Why must this night be unending?
What nightmare remains to be slain?
Where is the one who will take up this burden from me?

Unspoken the covenant
confining me here
to this fraudulent realm
of stagnant tranquility
timeless and forlorn

Penitence
for a hunter with a sickly soul
he who becomes the beast he was sworn to destroy
a villain I was
blasphemous murderer, blood-crazed fiend
still I fail to see how this captivity will absolve me

The ritual revealed, the red moon looms ominous now
Paleblood, is this at last the night that we part?
The surrogate child which you craved
can no more withstand your embrace.

The newborn's cry silenced
the dream stands ablaze
My offer of absolution has been refused

Oh, what a fool to desire such an ending
to seek to remain in this dream
and usurp this miserable throne for countless more nights

To awake and forget would be mercy
but a blood-drunk beast must be put down
good hunter, you'd do well to perish beneath my scythe

"Venator
Ah mi summus venata
Anima tor feci so vre re mal?
Venare insidiosus
Mira tenebrarum
Hic sic scitis miseriae aeterna"
