Requiem Spell - Lyrics - Carpe Tenebrum

Carpe Tenebrum was a black metal solo project of the former Dimmu Borgir and Covenant guitarist Jamie Stinson, better known as Astennu. Stian Arnesen was also involved with the project. Very little has been heard of the project since the release of the third album, Dreaded Chaotic Reign, in 2002.

Lovers embrace in ocean spray. Locked in a silver fire immortal, but stars die too. Run in an abyss divine, float through hazy enlightenment. Ask and you shall wonder.

Invoke them in the waters of desolation incarnate, walk through the clawing spines. A bride of the moon, a canopy of ashen dust. I laugh no more
