Ancient Arts
by Dawn of Existence
H.L.
H.L.
DAWN OF EXISTENCE plays melodic death metal, which appears significantly blackened through the screaming share at the vocals. The sound is quite heavy, "Toe Up" for example reminds me of Hypocrisy in style. As there are more catchy monster tracks like "Marble Garden" or "Satan Spacelord", "Ancient Arts" became an impressive debut.
Favorite track: Toe Up.

(Verse1)
The First Time
When there was no B.C
And comets wheeled the night sky
Practitioners of an ancient art
Danced stone across the sky
In another time
Only in the Mind
(Chorus)
The fear in us on the horizon
We’re a shining marble garden
In the mists of time
The fear in us on the horizon
We’re a shining marble garden
In the mists of...
(Verse 2)
The feeling in the gleaming moonlight
Your silhouette on the sky
I see the look on your stone face
And I levitate
In another form
I’ll see you again
Unstable power
Pulsing through me
Hypnotic golden age
Philosophy
(Chorus)
The fear in us on the horizon
We’re a shining marble garden
In the mists of time
The fear in us on the horizon
We’re a shining marble garden
In the mists of...

(Verse 1)
Forty-Five
destined in time
A new realm
Stranger now
Unlost, how?
Surrendered
(Chorus)
Toe Up
From the floor up
No known reasons why
They’ve died
Toe Up
From the floor up
Bodies lined
Five by nine
(Verse 2)
A new dawn
Embracing dimensions
Pausing for
Life to begin
Soothsayer
(Chorus)
Toe Up
From the floor up
No known reasons why
They’ve died
Toe Up
From the floor up
Bodies lined
Five by nine
'Cause they were Toe Up
Universal paths
seeking new life
With a foot in each realm
These are the paths,
The abyss, the new dawn
Hiding behind the veil
Shut it down
Nothing to see
Just another mass exit
Blinded
To shepherd the sheep
To know nothing

Satan Spacelord

Solar wind in my sails
Through cosmos I prevail
Light beams at mind’s speed
Collapse all cosmos in sight
Solar wind in my sails
Through Gods I avail
As within, so without
Ignite the mind’s free will
Disguised beneath the surface
Adapted, rewind
Release all Relevance
Release all Blind
Moons and different worlds
Serpentine
My Throne
Sees no borders
Far beyond, celestial skies
A new starrise
Effulgence
Discovery sets me free
Solar wind in my sails
Through Gods I assail
As within, so without
Ignite the mind’s free will

Mystic Serpent
05:14

Bind myself in blood and spirit, eternally,
under penalty of light to ash,
to uphold all knowledge and ritual
and this first blood sacrifice
as Virago Serpenté
The culling of the flesh
Through mystic serpent rites
At the twilight of an age
Dark vixens
Spill the blood of man
Black wax on writhing bodies
Under the tower in the moon
On the trilithon of Set
To stop the sands of… time
(Chorus)
The chalice nearly full
Last drop to stem the tide
and with curved blade in hand
she carves the sigil of the snake
and kneels one last time

(Verse 1)
Day and night
from the valleys below
Screams
through the dust and fog
Forgotten legends
in the skies above
Apparitions
save no souls in Mons
(Chorus)
Incoming
The sky is falling
You are the hammer
We are the nail
This day
From horizon to horizon
A sea of grey
You are the hammer
We are the nail
This day
We are all at
the dawn of existence
In an empire
Where the sun never sets
Day and night
from the valleys below
Fears
sink the spheres and sun
Forgotten legends
in the skies above
Wraith
blessed in terror, upon
(Chorus)
Incoming
The sky is falling
You are the hammer
We are the nail
This day

I am the captor
Of a coming race
Bestowal of wisdom
Of a sacred place
I am deceiver
Of dark and light
Cloaked black in shadows
Of ancient spite
I am a passenger
And I ride time and space
Short hand of misfortune
And of dark embrace
I am the precursor
Of the dawns of night
Look through the mystic plane
And break the archetype
Disillusioned
False progeny determines your path
Liberation
Every man and woman is a star

Tides

(Verse 1)
Travelled through Centuries
Unearthly Source
Persist, Behind
Dancing in Darkness above
Horned Moon arising
Of Waxing course
Exist, in light
Ruling the skies in forgotten time
(Chorus)
The Divine
Constructs Time
We Architect
and we Guide the Tides
Full Moon Invocation
Unbridled Force
Instinct, in sight
Illuminate the skies of the dark world
So soon abandoned
With no remorse
Extinct, in time
Searching somewhere beyond the waning moon
Lost in Illusion
Inscribed by time
Betrayed by time
Path of the wolf
Path of the dog
Patrol my sky
Depart the sea
The moon returns
(Chorus)
The Divine
Constructs Time
We Architect
and we Guide the Tides

Meet Me at the Stake

(Verse 1)
Mind’s Intentions
Bodies aligned
Life’s Elixir
Seeking new Knowledge in time
Lights above us
Divine Below
Reform
And Forge the Fire’s glow
(Verse 2)
Spirits Familiar
Banish the art
Ritual
Saints are just witches in part
Serpent’s staff
Water’s stone
Consecrate
And seize the souls of…
(Chorus)
Come together
Paths Aligned
Whereupon
and Meet me at the Stake
Invoke the Scripture
Bring the Light
Whereupon
and Meet me at the Stake
(Verse 3)
Hidden Realms
Misbeliefs
Free Will
to practice the one divine
(Chorus 2)
Come together
Paths Aligned
Whereupon
and Meet me at the Stake
From the towers
Ignite the moon
Whereupon
and Meet me at the Stake
Meet me at the stake
