Nocturnal Lyrics

Between the lines of dead language tongues, before the dawn our hearts they shall hunt. The smell of blood excites the nostrils at first cut. The sanguinary worship of red spraying punctures a sight so divine.

Clutching her carcass, a face frozen in time. A distorted dialect for the draining of veins to the flooding of bedsheets with sick crimson rain. A warped diction of scriptures befouled, traditions steeped within disgraces reviled.

Father, unholy one, to your night realm we bow. Nocturnal majesty, sworn to black we'll always be. Damnation's diction, a deadly disclosure, our poisons in their goblets drip.

(Oh how) How perfectly hideous, so eloquently scribed- each scripture so skillfully sick. Parchment scabbed over with plasmatic prose, prophesize permanent night. The words of sheer blackness paint ebony my soul and bestow me with infernal might.

A warped diction of scriptures befouled, traditions steeped within disgraces reviled. Father, unholy one, to your night realm we bow. Nocturnal majesty, sworn to black we'll always be. Hatred and persistance, destined to see a complete eclipse of that hated sphere the sun.

[Solo]

By the light unspoken, this language of brutality. Enraptured I have become uhonly. Night's arms welcome me.

Nocturnal majesty, sworn to black we'll always be. Hatred and persistance, destined to see a complete eclipse of that hated sphere the sun.

Clearrrllyyy by nocturnal majesty he means a black dude thats really cool to him. Sworn to black well always be is a reference to how hes just tryin to make it out there in the gangsta world, even tho hes white.

"The words of sheer blackness paint ebony my soul and bestow me with infernal might."

Words of sheer blackness refers to the majestys use of ebonics, or "Negro Babble". Paint ebony my soul means the african americanism is spreading throughout is body. And bestow me with infernal might refers to how black people are commonly feared, making the feel mighty and strong, which is what he is experiencing throughout the course of the song.

It has something to do with a pagan or satanic ritual that involves a dead body.

The vocals on here kill. This is by far one of the darkest songs I've ever listened to. It sounds like someone being throw into hell and the gates trapping them in.

It is indeed about vampires. However I like MyOwnBlood's idea about a ritual, so I think this song could be about the resurrection of Dracula, like in Castlevania.

This song is freaking awesome. I agree with MyOwnBlood, on the vocals too.

w00t.

god fucking damn, this song is so metal. and myownblood has it right - the vocals are fucking br00tal. one of my new fav TBDM songs (besides miasma, stat ape, funeral thirst, my horror cosmic... actually i love every tbdm song ;D)

I like the whole Castlevania thing too (Vampires, do I sense a theme?) What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse is not only an awesome song, but when I realized it was from Castlevania 2, I was like wow. I love these boys even more now.

Mmmm, tasty figurative language. This song is Pretty Metal. Even Dethklok would have to agree.

Fuck, Deathklok's got nothing on TBDM

So dark, amazing. This band and their intensity has helped me through so much. This is about vampires, no doubt. LONG LIVE TBDM!
