Nightbreed - Obtained Enslavement

Before him in an aura of light appeared a being not of human breed

Pale as death, with eyes as dark as those of midnight ravens

In visions he now saw the ancient one… enraged

The being spoke in a tongue unknown to him

But its aura was veiled in pride

Days of wisdom were to come to him and his tribe

Those not lured to weakness… by light

(Voice of the old one:)

«Moonlight bright embrace thee

Forever she caresses thee

Free you eternally

Fear not children so true at heart

Our powers shall protect thee»

Buried deep within the heart lie secrets of a distant past

The darkness in the old one’s eyes was not like that of man

Within them burned a hope.

What was hidden?

What wisdom did he hold?

A challenge for those of heathen blood… lords and kings

Only pride remained as darkness fell on soil from which he came

As the old one moved closer he could feel the presence of his soul

As that of nature itself

The flames in his eyes revealed a secret… of what was to be

(Voice of the old one:)

«There must and shall be blood

Pain until the last drop

As night itself will sweep the ground

That I place my feet free of purity ever after

Until the night once again sends its breed
