Exhorder - The Tragic Period video free download

I only found the demo version of this on the tubes which is surprising as this is a gem.

Here's a tale in history

About a period of tragedy

A man who thought of horrid things

But really sought what happiness brings

Terror instilled within the souls

Of men and women, young and old

Come and listen to me, my friend

He'll make your morale descend

One Boston day, it's sad to say

A newborn child was granted miserable life

Abandoned by his father and

Left alone by death of father's wife

Foster child

Tobacco exporter gave him a chance

History defiled

Twisted by literature, dark and opium enhanced

Irregularity

So far ahead of his time

A spark of a breed

Regarding all of his literature creed

Infamy of tales and poetry

Connecting his themes to his wildest dreams

The maelstrom grew but no one knew

He descended far beyond it's spinning walls

Into the pit, the black abyss

His house was collapsing as he searched for El Dorado

Perched upon Pallas was life, hard and callous

The shadows of burden lifted nevermore

The vulture eye of death concealed

By wooden planks below the floor

The quest for solace evolved into sorrow

Lingering obsessions

Intoxication, stimulation, creation

Hindering addictions

Apparently the message in a bottle was lost

For I could see no conclusion

But all of us remaining in the shrouded past

Must remember to further ourselves by obtrusion

Inebriated grin leads the mighty pen

Across the paper as his fears come alive

Satiric whim ignites the brim

Of insanity as Pluto arrives

Swaying cognac barriers

And the beating of his hideous heart

Increasing ever so constantly

Conjuring the ne'er forgotten lore

'Tis only this and nothing more

Nevermore

Lightning bolts

Tearing through his house and soul

Mental gibes

Darkness hailed in what he's told

Eternally infatuated with despair

Fortunado leads the way to fermented pleasures

But as the cup of drink is met

The hour tolls and the Red Death guest reveals

In a kingdom by the sea

Is where they left beloved thee

The time has come to join, my dear

In your kingdom by the sea

Hear the toll of the iron bells!
