【暗·祭】
瘴浓，顺着湿漉的石阶无知觉行走，偶尔有盏路灯。只在极小的范围吝啬的赐予光影；
林密，黑暗无限蔓延，沉闷的脚步触怒隐匿着的猫，睁开幽绿的双瞳，随后是凄惨的嚎啕；
双塔，一高一矮两座水塔，于阴霾的夜空化身泰坦族人，守护亘久而神秘的花园；
法器，在手中摇荡挣扎，感到来自时空另一端的力量牵引，听见刺破压抑空气的召唤，甩脱束缚，直奔黑暗最深邃点；
越来越近，那是祭祀清灵的吟唱，缥缈得让人恍惚，远古的乐器奏鸣，一切被编织在错杂的氛围，四下浮现诸多影子，没有脸孔，只能依稀看见黑袍，缓缓而移。
狭窄的空地上，明亮而荒凉，惨淡的月光射下如剑直插心房。
突兀于空地的石棺，逐渐溢出暗红的液体，四下蔓延，孳生着腐朽的气味，糜烂的氛围。
喃喃的颂唱持续萦绕，黑影们俯下僵硬的身躯，而我也不由自主的往下坠落。
双眼疲惫，昏昏欲睡，心中忽觉醒，拼死抵制媚惑，神经却麻木已久，理智如斯无力。
安谧，无声的世界，一切都睡去，间或，奏乐再起，缥缈出世，恍惚神情。
反覆，轮回，紧绷，松弛，交错而替，最终时刻，归入一片死寂。
【官方简介】
Draconian Poetry is the new album by Sephiroth, a much anticipated sequel to the 1999 debut, Cathedron, which in itself still finds and enthralls new listeners six years down the road. Once again, Sephiroth takes us along on a trip to the twilight zone inbetween darkness and dawn, to forgotten cities and distant, barely remembered lands, where ancient rituals and Eastern influences meet pounding metallic poly-rhythms emanating from subterranean catacombs. If Cathedron moved along the deep green/blue axis on the chromatic scale - as in the hues of the jungle and the ocean - Draconian Poetry arrives in the earth-tinted spectrum: the brownish soil, the corroding greyness of withering, weather-beaten ruins, and the blindingly green setting sun. Sephiroth is there to meet you, bidding you welcome at the crossroad where civilization ends and the unexplored begins; the threshold where dull reality is terminated in favor of boundless fantasy....
