Choir of Mentors

from Hellfire & Funeral Bells by Faustcoven

/

lyrics

Born in 1452
Of purest noble blood
The gravest of children he was
This brooding, curious, quiet boy

At the tender age of 5
He took his first life
Behind the chapel, a stray dog stabbed
That very night they came to him

Awakened by a stirring of the icy air
Voices disembodied, vast choir dead and hollow
They whispered of secrets, terrible and glorious
At the price of human suffering untold
Now for the very first time, the prince did smile

At the age of 9 they all could see
The ominous change in the lordling
A hunger and strangeness growing
Then one day as the sun did descend into its celestial grave
A poor innocent maid disappeared without a trace

With a human life spilt
There was no turning back
From the enlightened path

For they were legion
And they were voracious
In their particular need

Ever street deserted
Every door locked
'Cause behind dark walls terror holds court

When he claimed the throne
He was 16 years old
No trace left of the boy
Now master of forbidden lore
The tyrant ascendant!
