Oh forlorn Lamia mourn for your children Half snake half harlot Sleepless praised sleepless raptor Walked in deserts dressed in red Hissing noise willing men Sucked their blood and ate the offal Slitted throats, broken oaths Envy made her child-eater Keep it as a secret Dwells in lakes Of her maze Wait in haze Enraged Woe to all mothers and the lovers Impaired and ashamed by a goddess I follow the trails through the madness I hear the bells And I follow the stench Into the inner depths Of barren hell In a filthy cell I see her dread She is eating sullen Children's dregs Queen of the snakes oh disgrace Don't lose your pace come with me To show you the way and set you free MY SWEET LAMIA Can you hear? Behind the trees are lonely whispers Feel their grief decapitate all their sickness Bow to me I am the one I am the sun Bleed for me I am the prince of the abyss Praise me I'll give you children to play with Gobble them all and vomit on the fucking cross And I see her smile It is so divine Like summer's night At holy July I’ll built a shrine Just to be on your side For the rest of my life My heart is thine My sweet Lamia

Our lives A symphony of lies Eye for an eye With our sacrifice Our lives A symphony of lies Eye for an eye With our sacrifice He'll rise Hark my wrath; I saw them pray through the opaque glass by sacrificing a lamb The marks were sharp, the rain tasted like blood, and my time had come I took my husk and walked away to infernal paths but the pain was vast Greed and sin can make a man weak so they took me down to the river Styx How could I ever believe in a world of dreams? Life is like a sea in melancholy Painted and shaped by him through the eclipse Sirens called my name and the boat sailed As the waters bloomed, deep down into the Womb my heart was doomed Cold air scratched ten black swans and Before the dusk the mermaids sang Please Don't leave him here... He is the real Oh Feel the fear The end is near... Suddenly a light from behind Shined into the night I felt pure evil inside me Howls lost into the fire Human's flesh my desire I impaled all the liars With no denials Gabriel was crying under the lights Bloody shapes crossed the sky Creatures chanted lullabies For me Nephilim will rule the earth And all the saints will burn in hell This is the rise of the Anti-Christ Diaboli intus me I came to bring the wrathful tyranny Our lives A symphony of lies Eye for an eye With our sacrifice Our lives A symphony of lies Eye for an eye With our sacrifice He'll rise

Don't return Crawl back to your grave Seven seas far away in a place full of disdain I found Cassandra crying in front of an empty grave In her hands was holding an inverted cross And she told me to run away before the nightfall But I denied...I stayed there...and Darkness born Necromancers stole her soul A black halo with thorns Make her flesh change and her world erased Shattered hopes Had fade away She became one of them in a night With the moonlight to emphasize her demon side Feelings broke from hate and then they fade away Cause inside her heart was painted a pentagram I crossed rivers and paths alone at dusk Looking for answers about what had happened But no hope...I stayed there…And... Darkness born And I knew that I was lost Frozen thoughts passed away Her story...an endless pain 40 years buried in her grave Her shadow has lost its shape But her skin has the same texture Cassandra embrace your sins Confess your crimes and your blasphemies You have to leave from this life Cause I know Revenge... Woke your dead body to haunt those who hurt You in the past They raped you when you were young in Your sanctuary And the worship for you had gone Your sorrows died beneath the sun Evil burned your flesh Please don't return back again Cassandra's tragedy An untold story Full of blasphemies Darkness born Necromancers stole her soul A black halo with thorns Make her flesh change and her world erased Shattered hopes Had fade away She became one of them in a night With the moonlight to emphasize her demon side Now you are free Don't hide from your sins Let them go...

As I Die 05:31
Don't return Crawl back to your grave Seven seas far away in a place full of disdain I found Cassandra crying in front of an empty grave In her hands was holding an inverted cross And she told me to run away before the nightfall But I denied...I stayed there...and Darkness born Necromancers stole her soul A black halo with thorns Make her flesh change and her world erased A part of my soul Is dark and cold Like a sunken ship In the worst of the storm A part of your soul Is dark and cold Like a colour blue Painted in a hole Fires were falling on you And I was praying To a god Without a name Cause I was scared But my prayers lost in gloom Save me from these flames Before it's too late And nails get inside my veins No I can feel them now as I die As I die... A part of our souls Is dark and cold Like a lost Unknown ghost The end was falling on you And I was begging A god Without a name Cause you I was scared But my prayers lost in gloom Save me from these flames Before it's too late And nails get inside my veins No I can feel them now as I die As I die... Your lust for me vanished forever I see it now as I die As I die As I die As I die As I die

Disguised into a Christ then sodomized by acolytes Drained all of his shame under the veil of grey Shades faded in the glare and the clocks paled, seemed profane Pride lost in the night, he used to hide where lights collide Scourged by fate and blaming the flame for his ugly face So shame Whispering names and during the day he was screaming The phrase "beauty is frail" Breaking the mirrors and reads to his demons The words of the saddest songs Closed to his cage that no one could break he was sitting And praying Praying Beauty is frail Begged the stars for love Wails embrace his heart Afraid conquered by hate broke his chains a rainy day Vice into his eyes feelings entwined on flickering skies Changed in bestial ways fucking the grail while looking the flame Vile dirty inside purity smiled like raped concubine Sitting and playing inside the haze, where shadows parades And ravens awaits Dragged outside by ten acolytes, they came from behind Oh cruelty divine Mocking and kicking to his ugly face and fucked like a whore Behind the glades Shaking from fear and dressed with his tears While screaming the phrase Beauty is frail Beauty is frail Scratched his skin for bliss Knelt to him and scream Why me? I feel grim... Misery... Let me sleep... And end this suffering...

Bloodshed outside my door A dirge was written on my walls Corpses on the floor I want to bring back time When my eyes are getting red Memories are coming back again My heart turns into stone And my faith falls I don't remember what I've done I just want my life back... 6 1 6 Nemesis does not exist for me I won't sleep I saw Mora in the mist I don't remember what I've done I just want my life back... In the light I grow In the dark I crawl At days I am blessed At nights I am cursed In the dark I grow In the light I crawl At nights I am blessed At days I am cursed I rise beyond the skies where the angels cry... I live beyond the seas and I am in your dreams... Leviathan is my name fiend incarnate... My hidden face has open his gates All they've been amputated by me I just need the Enochian keys Now I see clearly I'm the king of purgatory When my eyes are getting red Memories are coming back again My heart turns into stone And my faith falls I don't remember what I've done I just want my life back...

Years ago in a village in north Where rites done An inhuman story was born By a man who sold his soul Voices captured his mind as sinners wine And made him a beast And lost his beliefs Congregation for all those who couldn't see Atrocity spawned the agony In oddity she is emproidering sins With our blasphemies Bundy was a man that fell in love With a woman who had cracked his heart Disharmony swelled in his head And he... wanted her dead Seeked her lips on the throne of red Laced with the way she used to smell Went to her home and hid under the bed Waiting for her And when she came love became hate He got out her eyes so she didn't have to cry He got out her guts and put them to her hands And made her dance to the name of Satan And when she died for the one last time he made her love and the journey to madness had begun From that day.. he became insane.. He was killing for fun.. women who had no heart.. Alone and locked... in his ghastly home.. He made orgies... with rotten corpses... Sulphurous.. necrophilous and dim Fascinated by the rotten meat Suddenly he was starting to think Based on delegacy... Collected the best body parts From every woman who had fucked And cut them one by one To make his perfect match/muse Damned and sad Ate their tongues Kissed their art And fell apart In the sickest melody froze In the saddest memory broke He never... been loved... Never felt loved Blackbirds flew... straight to the moon... Weeping for you... sad but true.. My son I knew.. life is so cruel... You can't be sure.. for anything and anyone.. A night decided to give an end With a hammer smashed his own head Until the brain completely melt My son rest in peace in this Harrowing atrocity...

Invoke the ghosts from the underworld to raise the horns and burn them all I command to eat their gods and those who chants at the city of mass Bloody hail to eden’s graves and to the gates of Hades Took the blame and blessed the place where Cain killed Abel Ode...to...scorn... that's only I want More...than...love... I feel lost Hypnotized by the parasites who embodied in my hive I slew the ugliest slave when everything seemed vain Loathe... you... all... pathetic swarm Yearn...your...hearts... behind your backs Daimona Don't let me go None...can...stop... chaos in a World...so...cold Disgusting mass you worthy holocaust under the stars from us Eradicate the human kind and all the lies that hide inside

about

Dark Portrait unleashes their debut album titled “A Harrowing Atrocity” to re-awaken the art of Symphonic Black Metal. Incorporating emotional atmospheres, black metal and a touch of classical elements; Dark Portrait has crafted their own sound identity.

Α Harrowing Atrocity unfolds like a mist of emotion through tales once lost and buried beneath the modern world.

Through gloomy passages and ice cold perspective, these stories are captured in subtle changes of dark moods.

Let the soundscape take you by the hand and lead you along a path of dark imagination. The darkness is a comforting lover and a maiden of witchcraft. So hold tightly dear listener for what once you thought was but despair, is in fact both savior and devourer of souls.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Α Harrowing Atrocity is well produced to bring out the very best in sound quality but not being over produced to lose any of the raw emotions. This is an album that is sure to send shivers of delight and chills to all who hear it.

Dark Portrait has indeed arrived… and with evil intentions…
