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 Blackheims Fooling Strategem
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
The lyrics BLACKHEIMS QUEST TO BRING BACK THE STOLEN AUTUMN of DIABOLICAL MASQUERADE is also present in the album Ravendusk in my heart (1995)
Diabolical Masquerade è stato un progetto musicale black metal svedese fondato nel 1993 a Stoccolma da Anders Nyström, noto anche con lo pseudonimo Blackheim e chitarrista di Katatonia. Il progetto si caratterizzava per l'influenza progressiva che arricchiva la matrice black metal. Nyström ha composto e registrato tutti gli album in solitaria, dando vita a un universo musicale oscuro e complesso. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "The Serpent's Embrace", "A Shadow of the Past" e "In the Name of Darkness". Diabolical Masquerade ha pubblicato tre album in studio: "The Playful Dream of Death" (1996), "The Serpent's Embrace" (1998) e "Where The Dead Lie Dreaming" (2000). Il progetto si è sciolto nel 2000, lasciando un segno indelebile nella scena black metal progressivo.
