Diabolical Masquerade cover

 Once upon a time in a medieval legendary world
 In late December cold of the thousand winter season
 Blackheim took farewell of his crypts in the forestrealms
 And rode into the horizonland unreachable for mortals

 The mighty skies turned into a colour of blackest midnight
 Still the winds knew where to travel on a forthblown path
 He passed the chasm so below and the home of Aurora Borealis
 He would soon be facing the lurkers of time - life - death

 Blackheim's quest to bring back the stolen autumn

 He exchanged his sentinel soul for a serpent sleeping in his heart
 And so September appeared on wings and was brought back to his land...
 He exchanged his sentinel blood for dragon's breath raging in his lungs
 And so October appeared on wings and was brought back to his land...
 He exchanged his sentinel wisdom for ashes buried in his eyes
 And so November appeared on wings and was brought back to his land...
 Blackheim finally asked for December since the sentinels of life and death did not know it was the month of winter...

 The lurker of time cried out Blackheim's fooling stratagem
 But the sentinel was at one with lightning
 And threw the serpent into the mouth of time
 Blew the dragon's breath with the strength of a demon
 Into the eyes of life the lurker
 Spread the ashes in the shadows of death
 And the curse dissolved with their departure

 Deathlike was the century in this horizonland oh so far away
 Cold and blackened with no sounds of rejoice

 Now he held the triumph high in heart
 Stormed over fields with might in hand
