Sorrowseed - Stygian Athenaeum lyrics

Enter into the forbidden realms of dire enlightenment The tomes and scrolls sealed away by the ascendant gods To stand upon the precipice of lore and derangement Pierce through the barriers to the Athenaeum's facade. [Chorus:] Tendrils of elder monstrosities Slither throughout this sanctum Unearthly luminosity Reveals the secrets beneath the stygian shroud. Here, I peruse every codex, grimoire, and lexicon That darkness itself condemned to obscurity Malignant stars, astral horrors, and abyssal maelstroms I reap the wisdom to arm against these threats and impurities. [Repeat chorus] I shall not suffer the visions of demented prophets No dreaded gods or demons will deter my fate I will reforge this world as a weapon of grand design From the Stygian Athenaeum, I stand poised to annihilate.
