Bathory ~ Into The Silent Chambers Of the Sapphirean Throne


(Sagas from the antediluvian Scrolls) Black winds whispering 'cross the fens, In eldritch coils (jewelled and gleaming) spires entwined Enraptured by the moon's sweet spells, 'gainst the skies of (Bleak and brooding) winter blackly etched. The Topaz Throne of Kings is crack'd, eon'veiled, enrob'd in black, Ensorcelled blade glimmers sunset's fire, saga-spinner, take up thy lyre. 'Thus spake the silent halls of Valusia...' Curses borne on vampyre tongues, Elder-fiends, o' nameless ones, Torches glow in silver cressets, In the Temple of the Serpent, Waves enshroud where marble gleamed, Spectral witch-song rides the gale, Black wings above the land of dreams, And silence haunts the nighted vale. Winged dragon coiled in thrice, Bane of flame in shadowed ice, Flooded by the bloated moon, The ivory worm now sleeps entombed. Ten thousand spear-points gleaming bright, Sharp-honed steel in pale dawn's light, Grim-eyed legions wait brooding, 'neath the banner of the Serpent-King. Winged dragon coiled in thrice, Bane of flame in shadowed ice, Flooded by the horned moon, Awake o' worm and quit thy tomb. 'Thus spake the silent halls of Valusia...' The Atlantean sword beckons me, And I descend from moon-shrouded skies Into the Tower of the Black Serpent... Tales are told to me now in dreams, Shadowed lyre strings, And sweet whisperings... The grim and glorious battles of warrior kings, (When the earth ran red with the blood of the slain), And the shining realm of Valusia... Carried upon the sweet night winds, Piercing the veil of my delirium, I embrace the rapturous scent of black lotus. (I hear the lament of the Immortals...) 'Ka nama kaa lajerama, Yagkoolan yok tha xuthalla!' And lo, I hear the beat of black leathern wings from moonless gulfs, Dark spirits wander the silent halls of the Sapphirean Throne, And in dreams I see the oceans rise to devour the gleaming spires, As the shades of immortals guide me to the Valley of Silent Paths... Black winds whispering 'cross the fens, In eldritch coils (jewelled and gleaming) spires entwined, Enraptured by the moon's sweet spells, 'gainst the skies of (bleak and brooding) winter blackly etched. The topaz throne of kings is crack'd, eon'veiled enrob'd in black, Ensorcelled blade glimmers sunset's fire, Saga-spinner, take up thy lyre. Thus spake the Antediluvean Scrolls. more free lyrics

(Sagas from the antediluvian Scrolls)

Black winds whispering 'cross the fens,
In eldritch coils (jewelled and gleaming) spires entwined
Enraptured by the moon's sweet spells,
'gainst the skies of (Bleak and brooding) winter blackly etched.
The Topaz Throne of Kings is crack'd, eon'veiled, enrob'd in black,
Ensorcelled blade glimmers sunset's fire, saga-spinner, take up thy lyre.

'Thus spake the silent halls of Valusia...'

Curses borne on vampyre tongues,
Elder-fiends, o' nameless ones,
Torches glow in silver cressets,
In the Temple of the Serpent,
Waves enshroud where marble gleamed,
Spectral witch-song rides the gale,
Black wings above the land of dreams,
And silence haunts the nighted vale.
Winged dragon coiled in thrice,
Bane of flame in shadowed ice,
Flooded by the bloated moon,
The ivory worm now sleeps entombed.
Ten thousand spear-points gleaming bright,
Sharp-honed steel in pale dawn's light,
Grim-eyed legions wait brooding,
'neath the banner of the Serpent-King.
Winged dragon coiled in thrice,
Bane of flame in shadowed ice,
Flooded by the horned moon,
Awake o' worm and quit thy tomb.

'Thus spake the silent halls of Valusia...'

The Atlantean sword beckons me,
And I descend from moon-shrouded skies
Into the Tower of the Black Serpent...
Tales are told to me now in dreams,
Shadowed lyre strings,
And sweet whisperings...
The grim and glorious battles of warrior kings,
(When the earth ran red with the blood of the slain),
And the shining realm of Valusia...
Carried upon the sweet night winds,
Piercing the veil of my delirium,
I embrace the rapturous scent of black lotus.

(I hear the lament of the Immortals...)

'Ka nama kaa lajerama,
Yagkoolan yok tha xuthalla!'

And lo, I hear the beat of black leathern wings from moonless gulfs,
Dark spirits wander the silent halls of the Sapphirean Throne,
And in dreams I see the oceans rise to devour the gleaming spires,
As the shades of immortals guide me to the Valley of Silent Paths...

Black winds whispering 'cross the fens,
In eldritch coils (jewelled and gleaming) spires entwined,
Enraptured by the moon's sweet spells,
'gainst the skies of (bleak and brooding) winter blackly etched.
The topaz throne of kings is crack'd, eon'veiled enrob'd in black,
Ensorcelled blade glimmers sunset's fire,
Saga-spinner, take up thy lyre.

Thus spake the Antediluvean Scrolls.

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
