This one roams about the hallways
On a quest for coin
Adventuresome, yet wary
To a certain fateful point
As this one grabs some treasure
From a rotten box
The creature resting inside breaks
Forth hissing and attacks
Poor soul, so you ran
With your hands clenched
All around your wounds
Imprudent, then forlorn
Thine shall be this dreary tomb
To purl downstream a crimson creek
Turns the dunes of sugar bleak
Bloodtied to the dark moon's way
Until a true cat's tail is straight
Never to see the light of day again
Let me treat your bruises and
Bandage your scrapes
Head straight to Maar Gan
So long as you live for three more days
Bend your knee to ALMSIVI and
Sacrifice your coin
Pray for your redemption or
Damnation's where you're goin'
This one will run
Among ashen hills and scorched Foyadas
To the shrine of Maar Gan
And never fall asleep!
To purl downstream a crimson creek
Turns the dunes of sugar bleak
Bloodtied to the dark moon's way
Until a true cat's tail is straight
Never to see the light of day again
Blighted roads to nowhere
Barren heart of Vvardenfell
Soothe one's feet in lava
Delirium, no time to rest
Jode, light these tears one cries
Jone, ease one's sorrow
All too soon, the sun will rise
To bear your last tomorrow
One last hint of warmth on cold skin
Kenarthi's golden dress waving in the wind
Kiss the morning dew goodbye
For one last breath of day and die
To purl downstream a crimson creek
Turns the dunes of sugar bleak
Bloodtied to the dark moon's way
Until a true cat's tail is straight
Never to see the light and
Never to see the sand behind the stars

The Call of Molag Bal

A beautiful young Dunmer woman
Holding an infant to her breast
Only as you draw near, you find
That the lady's long since dead
And the child is pale-faced and ailing
Dying from plague
As mother and child crumble to dust
You awaken
God of Schemes, come, speak to me
In dreams of blood and vermin
Caress cold limbs to numb to feel
And carry my soul away
An old Ashlander woman treats you for burns
Tingling magic, then the pain subsides
But as you watch, your flesh starts melting
And you wake up as she smiles
God of Schemes, come, speak to me
In dreams of blood and vermin
Caress cold limbs to numb to feel
And carry my soul away
You dream of a sumptuous banquet
Spread out before you
The aroma of exquisite roast
Brings perfection to the appetizing view
It is only as you cut into
The last portion that you see
The scrib larvae squirming inside
Mh, bon appetit
You cough blood as they begin
To eat their way back out
Your life drained from deep within
Did you wake up beyond doubt?
God of Schemes, come, speak to me
In dreams of blood and vermin
Caress cold limbs to numb to feel
And carry my soul to Coldharbour

Neonate

What is it, little monster?
How does an abomination such as you plan to serve me?
You, unfortunate accident
Perpetrated by one of my kind
At your expense
You stepped into my sight
You, neonate, read my lips
Dark ancient powers of the mind
Go to poor waste
Upon your feeble blight
We are the blessed of all cursed
Stronger, faster and bright
Our spirits burn
With intellectual light
You arrogate to yourself
Our endeavours sublime
Appease your thirst
You just might be worth my time
Dark walker, we elevate you
Our gifts are many and weaknesses few
Your body lacks the frailties
Of normal Man or Mer
With ease and always watching
We float through night air
Pariah, an outcast of cold noble blood
In exquisite garments residing on mud
Not a brute, ugly, dull, an insult to the eye
Not a backstabbing thief, only stealth to rely on
But disdained royality, envious scorn
Will be paving your path since you have been reborn
Feed upon the innocent
For your pleasure divine
Cast your spell unparalleled
The finest feast you've ever dined
Perfection of the mind at hand
With all of Nirn as an enemy
Neonate, mark my words
There won't be no remedy
You've grown nonpar
Ancient terror of the night
Through moonlit realms you stride
Forge under stars
A kingdom of plain misery
And nocturnal delight

Teeth and Empty Eyes

Lord of Troubles
Harvester of Souls
Father of Coldharbour
Take, what I stole
Roam through the night towards demise
A beast of teeth and empty eyes
Before the altar deep inside the pilgrim's shrine
I beseech thee - let me die
Step by step
The house of troubles draws me in
When step by step
I'm drawn to intimations of better times
To prey upon
The very thing i have become
Or maybe fall
To be fed on by what I've come to wipe out
Lord of Troubles
Harvester of Souls
Father of Coldharbour
Take, what I stole
Roam through the night towards demise
A beast of teeth and empty eyes
Before the altar deep inside the pilgrim's shrine
I beseech thee - let me die
When by chance
I bend the knee to Molag Bal
With no hope
For my spirit and my soul
Unless I might
Be cured from this ratchet curse
I pledge the oath
To obtain the sacrifice from Dagoth's slopes
Lord of Troubles
Harvester of Souls
Father of Coldharbour
Take, what I stole
Roam through the night towards demise
A beast of teeth and empty eyes
Before the altar deep inside the pilgrim's shrine
I beseech thee - let me die

Watching her
Strolling in the night so white
Wondering why
It's only after dark
In her eyes
A distant fire light burns bright
Wondering why
It's only after dark
I find myself in her room
Feel the fever of my doom
Falling falling
Through the floor
I'm knocking on the devil's door yeah
In the dawn
I wake up to find her gone
And the note
Says "only after dark"
Burning burning in the flame
Now I know her secret name
You can tear her temple down
But she'll be back and rule again, yeah
In my heart a deep and dark
And lonely part
Wants her and waits for
After dark
After dark
After dark
After dark
