Ancient – Part Ii: Lilith's Embrace lyrics

Caine:
"Alone in the darkness I can hear the sweetest voice
Whispering words of surcease and I rejoiced!
Who would dare speak to one so condemned as I?
Do you know of my most wicked crime? "

Lilith:
"I'm known as Lilith, your fahter's first bride
Like you I'm cursed to dwell in the shadows of night. "

Caine:
"How can one survive here in the dark groves forlorn?
Without a sole companion or a friend of some form? "

Lilith:
"But there are many companions in my infinite kingdom.
Through magick and sorcery I've found my freedom. "

Caine:
"I was cold and she clothed me,
I starved and she fed me,
I was mournful yet she loved me.
I she'd bloody tears and she made them
Disappear she kissed away my fears.
Her powers I could see would forever
Set me free I begged her to awake me.
Her blood, sweet as wine, as I drank
She would sigh then I closed my eyes.

Into the dark I fell and fell a deepest abyss
Surrounded by obscurity a price for her gift.

Out from the frigid blackness came a radiant glimmering light
Revealing the flaming archangel known as Michael"

Micheal:
"Cursed son of Adam, indeed His mercy is great
Bow thy head and repent thine sins now before it's too late. "

Caine:
"Not by His grace but my own,
I choose to live with pride
Your "merciful" God disgusts me
His Kingdom infested with lies. "

Micheal:
"You sad irreverent fool have thee no shame?
Tou shall forever fear the light of the Living Flame. "

Caine:
"On the morning by silver wing Raphael came to me and said
Abel did firgive me not by his (forgiveness) but mine own
For darkness is my home.

I walk alone, my skin would burn by the sun's rays I learned
And the dawn had returned to earth below
I did run seeking shelter from the sun
The endless night of Caine had begun.

When I awoke, Uriel appeared
The reaper with black wings
But thrice denied his grace
Hence, my blood-curse begins & hellip. "
