Toiling above as their gods sleep below As they built mighty works given to them in dreams Swearing fell oaths to Those From The Outside Bloodstained rites in profaned glades Black science, dark magicks from worlds out of time And common folk fear crossing thresholds at night They called to the Void And finally, when the stars were right again, the Void answered.
2.
Contact having been made They began their work in earnest. Scoured the surrounding lands These men - now lords Enslaving the peasants, And leaving rot in their wake. Though smaller than its neighbors Black Kingdom grew mightier And under the Deathless Lords Generations of slaves toiled Born and die under the yoke. While terrors haunted the countryside, Meanwhile the Lords They were constructing their greatest work of all: A Celestial Engine capable of moving the heavens themselves Remaking the constellations in the image of their slumbering gods. Those Locked Outside will once more enter our world, Cleansing it of life and reclaiming their thrones. It was to this end that the Lords bent their will: Bringing forth a paradise of fire, and of blood

“So lost in our work, the signs were missed, So lost in our thoughts as they marched to war, Still lost in the stars as our foes arrived, So lost were we child, we were lost. From North they came The Lords of Raven From South they came The Maids of Crone From East they came The Carrion Tribes And from the West The Lords of Bone Even now, our people die, The horrors burn inside the woods Even now, our people die, The labs and dungeons: flooded, drowned in the blood of our dead Even now, our people die, Thralls, now free, have turned against us Even now our people die, Our great works, cast to the ground But you survived, as do our gods, Who will sing again when time is right. So pass this letter down, We bid you farewell And pray you keep the faith, And pray you keep the night.”

At eight-and-ten winters, I read my birthright. A letter, from an age long dead At nine-and-ten winters I looked to the stars Searching for truths known to few At two-and-twenty I finally found The Key that I had sought survived the purge At three-and-twenty winters The sky opened up Telling the tale of my people I joined a caravan headed north Through long days and longer nights Over mountains and bones of cities lost to time Then east, ever east, To see my seat reclaimed My guides dared not tread Though they knew not why A land long cursed The curse lost to time And that’s when I heard Their song, deep below And that’s when I heard My gods welcome me home

about

"...Celestial Throne shines its darkness brightly across its no-song-under-nine-minutes-long lumber, and affirms the righteousness of doom with a genuine sense of reach at its disposal."
The Obelisk

"Celestial Throne by Dead Sacraments is absolutely massive. From the first note through the last there isn’t a dull or tame moment on this entire album."
Kaotic Neutral

"'Celestial Throne' is an album with riffs to spare"
Desert Psychlist

"a gloriously heavy duty DOOMED OUT EXPERIENCE"
Outlaws of the Sun

"Their spellbook is a hefty tome of literal epics in the form of heavy-hitting, psychedelic doom."
Leviathan Zinecast

"The 'Celestial Throne' depicted in the album art must surely be crumbling under the weight of these riffs."
Chicago Doom Confederacy

"I can’t see this having much appeal beyond niche doom fans but they’re sure to get a lot out of it."
Indy Metal Vault
