The Legend Of The Sunken Monastery Lyrics

Centuries ago, in times of medieval darkness

In a great ancient forest

Which is born at the end of the Ice Age

An enchanted swamp

Sucking all energy deep into the ground

A domain where worlds are crossing each other

Once there stood a powerful monastery

With many towers, ruled by King Clovius

Who converted his life to Christianity

Expecting that his people would follow in his steps

The monks lived like heathens

And sold their soul to the Devil

When darkness falls, the nocturnal creatures awaken

Gathering for the Black Mass

To praise the One with Horns

In sinful lusts they feast upon the flesh

Desecrating the laws of the holy trinity

On a dark winter night, the sky turned red

And lightening struck (the earth)

A thundering storm crossed the forest

And the earth split open

The monastery was swallowed into the depths

And closed

Silence reigned over the haunted fields

Hear the voice of the ancient winds

That blows over the cursed swamps

The chiming bells echoing through the night

The forlorn spirits come out of the dark

Walking slowly and staring in darkness

They walk there rounds, accompanied with prayers from their somber litanies

And when the first lights of the sun reaches

The woods they disappear into the dark abyss
