Transcription: Serkan Gunturk ( gunturkk@boun.edu.tr ) Visit my home of black metal and guitar tabs at http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Venue/8948/index.html Hark, O'Nightspirit Father of my dark self From within this realm, wherein Thou dwelleth By this lake of blood, from which we feed to breed I call silently for Thy presence, as I lay this oath May this night carry my will And may these old mountains forever remember this night May the forest whisper my name And may the storm bring these words to the end of all worlds May the wise moon be my witness As I swear on my honour In respect of my pride and darkness itself That I shall rule by the blackest wisdom O'Nightspirit I am one with thee I am the eternal power I am the Emperor Winds and storms, embrace us now Lay waste the light of day Open gates to darker lands We spread our wings and fly away Riff 1 (4 times) Clean tone 7 th position (fret) E-|-------------------------------------------7-------------------------------|
