"Sanctuary Lost" (1988 Demo)

1. Rise of the Black Witch
2. Dimmendark
3. Sanctuary Lost
4. A Perilous Quest







1. Rise of the Black Witch

Rise of the Black Witch

She rides the High Seas
Driven by the Black Winds of Hell
She, thy mistress to be
She holds your life in her spell

Sailors call her 'Satan's Ship'
Unholy One, so cold
Fear to feel the Frozen Flame
That lives within her hold

Feel...
Fear...
Flee!
'Tis the Rise of the Black Witch

She comes with the Night
With the Moon
Rising for you out of the Sea
She - Demon Queen
Spellbound you are, you cannot flee

Hear the insane laughter
As the crew hails you aboard
There's nothing you can do but pray...
Pray to die!

Sailing away on a Night Neverending
Is this the sentence for all of my sinning?
A nightmare?
Can't tell if its all in my head...
Satan release me

Sailing away
On a Night Neverending
No absolution
Possessed, a demon's at home in my head
Satan release me...

I'm better off dead!

lyrics - Johnson; music - Johnson, Gibson, Smith, Covington

2. Dimmendark

Dimmendark

(lyrics inspired by Dennis L. McKiernan's 'Iron Tower Trilogy')

Shadows fall 'pon the Land
'Wakened evil, breaking Adon's ban
Marching from the North
Modru's minions come
To claim the lives of man

Changes day to Winternight
Wall of Darkness hides them from our sight
In frosted dreams
Screams of evil fill the Night
With Mystic Shadowlight

Gather'd 'neath Spectral Light
Cloak'd in Darkness
Bloody sacred rites
Magick dark enslave the world
For all Eternity in Shadowlight

Blacken'd Sun stand over all
Winterwar shall bring the final fall
In anguish'd cry
Doomsayers prophesy
The rise of the Mark
In Deathly Dimmendark

lyrics - Johnson; music - Johnson, Smith, Covington




3. Sanctuary Lost

Sanctuary Lost

Ivory towers
Tall and bold
Mythic tales from Days Gone By
Towers that reach to the Sky
To touch the Sun
One would stand upon the tallest spire
At one with the Gods
At peace with oneself

'Tis a fantasy for me
[I have] No rest for my tormented soul

Sanctuary Lost

Time
Witness to the Fall of Mankind
Ages of Glory turn to dust
But with the passage of Time
Comes Hope
And New Dreams
A New Age of Man [shall] arise
As the tears of the Gods fall
And give New Life
To our Ancient World

I
The One forever
Destined to hear the Call and take heed
I
Bane of Darkness and Light
Have no one, no respite

Rest my Soul...

lyrics - Johnson; music - Johnson, Smith, Covington
