2. | Pilgrim of the Nightly Spheres | 04:15 | Show lyrics |
Pilgrim of the nightly spheres Behind the sleeping cascades You wander restelessly In hope of finding the gateway - to eternity Darkness your constant companion When the ancients spoke of a realm - a realm where nothing dies, but yet all is dead your visions where so clear, but yet captured in a dying world. Pilgrim of the nightly spheres, child of sin, child of the dark, yours is the monument of scorn for you’ve left the trail of weakness just to find loneliness "...will you ever find the gateway, will you ever reach the gateway, the gateway to eternity - to eternal life..." Pilgrim of the nightly spheres I know one night your star will ablaze in the nocturnal horizon to show me your traces in the dark |
|||
3. | Twilight | 04:34 | Show lyrics |
Embraced by solitude I leave this world As the last tear of blood leaves my veins, I long for harmony For the last time I look up to the nightsky And watch the stars in a blackwind dying For the last time I watch the fading of the candlelight ... and I whisper my final breath into Eternity knowing that all life ends someday Oh, may the autumnal winds carry my empty soul Into the vale of oblivion Where I shall forever wander over The fields of melancholy To be a solitary shadow out of time "Oh please let me long for silence, let me walk the path of sin, but your weepings - full of grievance. Oh, please take my hand and follow me into the night, just follow me to a place, where darkness shines so bright." |
|||
4. | Apocalypse | 03:40 | Show lyrics |
"From the kingdom of damnation we arise..." As the apocalyptic dragon flies over the land misery returns - set the world in flames Thunder and lightning gather in the nocturnal sky, the stench of corpses fills the night - we’re the devil’s scythe We arise in a sea of fire, holocaust - our only desire. We the tyrants of doom, the infernal spawn, the prayers for luciferian dawn. We bring you pestilence and pain In the dark lord’s name we shall reign! As the apocalyptic dragon flies over tha land misery returns - set the world in flames Christianity bleeds - forevermore!! |
|||
5. | Immortality Profound (Trilogy) - Dreaming... (Chapter 1) | 04:15 | Show lyrics |
Close your eyes and follow me to a land beyond the gates of agonizing dreams. Ride with me upon hills of martyred souls, where once blood was spilled for the one, the master ring, created in the flames of Amon Amarth. "One Ring To Rule Them All, One Ring To Find Them, One Ring To Bring Them All, And In The Darkness Bind Them." Feel the agic of the winds of wrath and walk with me on the blackened paths through Thaur-nu-fuin. Enter this world beyond all human dimensions and close the gate of life forever to unveil the secrets of this long forgotten tale of ancient glory. A tale that seemed to be lost in the hidden shadows of Mordor... |
|||
6. | Immortality Profound (Trilogy) - Throne of Sombre Thoughts (Chapter 2) | 05:05 | Show lyrics |
... and I still hear the sound of shattering swords, I still see the empty eyes of the fallen warriors, I still hear their screams on the wind for I am one of the ancient race, summoned by the scars of time Once I had risen amongst the Nine through a spell of cast behind the shadowwalls of Minas Morgul. Nazgul, hunters of the night, damned to search for the One, even death cannot take this heritage from me. I still roam the mighty forest of Neldoreth, like Carcharoth did in ancient times, feeling eternal emptiness inside. Like in thousands of nights before I look up to the starless skies above, where once Glaurung ruled in a silhouette of fire, and again I feel endless torture - I have failed... |
|||
7. | Immortality Profound (Trilogy) - Captured in Eternity’s Eyes (Chapter 3) | 04:18 | Show lyrics |
In a land of never resting shadows, where I have found the essence of profound immortality. In the land of Mordor I shall wander eternally, awaiting my sunless dawn to fall into the funeral embrace, where I shall dwell in silence. Wistful I cry for the end Minas Morgul - Once my empire, Now withering in a spectral morning veil; Who can deliver me from this unbearable destiny? "Ash Nazg Durbatuluk, Ash Nazg Gimpatul, Ash Nazg Thrakatuluk, Agh Burzum - Ishi Krimpatul" A sunbeam ends my journey, dawn breaks in the east - Soon I will return into these dungeons with the nightshadows by my side... A tale that never ends! |
|||
8. | Misanthropic Invocation | 05:50 | Show lyrics |
Forgotten, the poisoned words of love Tempted by the chalice of dissolution Invoking the spirits of unholy origin A flow of orgasmic fire dwells within me Chaos is my prophecy Never to be lost again in this soulconsuming dimensions Venomous emotions of love faded away The enigma of death I’ve solved For my salvation is your damnation Can you see my shadow in the flickering candlelight? A shadow that offers you insight into Uziel’s visions Can you feel the presence of woeful souls in this moonlight night? Somnabulists amongst a deceptive race I’ve seen the truth Desecration was the key that opened my eyes I am your inner tyrant Endless scorn is my revenge Chaos, my prophecy - Asphyx is thy forseen fall Asphyx is me |
|||
9. | Crimson Tears | 06:44 | Show lyrics |
Mournful shadows rise, dusk spreads her wings - the tombworld longs for me I kiss the withered rose I still hold the flame that dies I drink the wine of bitterness for the last nocturnal caress Night falls again - I feel the pouring rain Melancholy - soon I will leave this void called life Solitude - as I fell the blade of my knife Death - I adore thy precious art I open my veins a last tear freezes my skin The dark sorrounds me within a veil to oblivion I entrust my spirit into death’s merciless arms And another void awaits me Utopia is lost |

10. | Tales from Eternal Dusk | 08:35 | Show lyrics |
As darkness falls for the last time I awake from my apparently infinite sleep A silver fullmoon glows on this winternight Waning into oblivion ... and I follow the northern storms that bring dusk upon the icy landscapes ... and the storms lead me to majestic forrests lakes and mountains I’ve never seen before Melancholy within seems eternal As I walk through the undergrowth Of these endless woods But then I see her sleeping under the dark trees - my beloved nocturnal queen And the children of the night watch over her Like the moon watches over the night As I get closer to her she awakens From her majestic sleep As she embraces me again I feel her magical attraction Together we walk the path of salvation And together with the wolves She sings her sweet serenades And with these, her majestic serenades She reaches for my black, bleeding heart Which only beats for her She kisses me with her lips of fire And this kiss covers my heart With a dismal shade of sadness And her hair of gold, waving in the wind Seems to me like the starcovered horizon Her sweet art is the key to my solitary heart And together we open the gate to infinity Into the duskimpregnated land of dreams, where our spirits shall rest eternally I look into her eyes, knowing that this moment won’t last eternally ... and the sun never rises, for she is the forgotten flame engulfing my heart ... and in the black wind her shadow fades away into the melancholy of the night And again my heart is touched by an endless solitary darkness |

11. | Moments of Mournful Splendour (At the Portal to Infinity) | 03:03 | Show lyrics |
Tempting symphonies reach me From out of the distant dark Awaking from their slumber Shadows are dancing by my side While the moonchild reflects her portrait in the sky And whispering echoes are engulfed In the obscurity of night - I welcome thee, moment of mournful splendour As the moon caresses the waveless sea And the wind sings its bitter sweet melody, My soul leaves its carnal prison To melt once again with the desolation of the night - I yearn for thee, moment of mournful splendour |

2. | Defiance of Death | 08:36 | Show lyrics |
Twenty Norsemen ahorse, clad in furs and gloomy armour tread the roads of mist Among the ancient mountains, passage to beyond the realms of man Passing crypts of kings and wizards, of priests and noble leaders A valley filled with fog, travel without light The gate was magnificent, like sculptured of ice, shimmering through the misty veil With a blue light of unearthly origin Beyond was another valley, surrounded by an unconquerable wall of mountains It was of purest, gleaming white except for the sky Which was black and starless And a pale looming fullmoon hung in the midnightly scene Below’s a frozen river, and trees like giant, misshapen skeletons And the black stone monument on a crystal hill, Bathed in the moonlight like a pock wound on porcelain skin Onward, ever onward... With swords drawn the Norsemen stormed into the castle’s hall Spirits of the damned, cursed to drift forever Hellish shapes of stone, wicked claws and fangs Tearing in bloodlust the flesh from the bones The Norsemen were falling like flies But only the strongest, the greatest of all could climb the highest spire (Atop the highest spire) Atop the highest spire, stare into the night See the constellions black on blackest night The burning wheels and machinations, that keep the world on turning And the chaos deep within Feel rage and madness, boiling hatred and the will to survive Sight becomes a tunnel, a vortex of unshining stars And what remains is silence... |
|||
3. | Passage to Extinction | 09:11 | Show lyrics |
Burning, I’m burning. Flames are dancing around me The sky is red and white. But strangely so I feel no heat And then I realize I have died There is no flesh to be seared. In this realm of fire In unmeasurable pillars of flames towers of charred and blackened bone On the horizon a great beast is flying a dragon with seven heads In a realm of fire - The beast is coming closer - In a realm of fire Like a choir I hear the screams of the endlessly tortured souls A cruel hymn to the nightmare that is coming As if their only reason for existence was to praise this wicked terror And with eyes aflame the dragon touched the fiery ground With the instinct of years of battle I reached for my blade, but it wasn’t there After all only my spirit had entered into this realm of fire (The speech of the Whore) "Welcome to where spirits burn, this place has uncounted names. Hell or Hades, Nifelheim, this is the abyss eternal. I am as old as the race of man. I have seduced the first king and became the first queen. I have charmed emperors and lords throughout all times I am what a thousand hearts adore The seven-headed whore You, my sweet mortal are to be my chosen one I will send you sailing on oceans of time and fate Where the worlds collide you will ride And your first gift shall be immortality I am what a thousand hearts adore The seven-headed whore Return to earth now, your flesh has regrown And your heart has now been shaped into a heart of stone..." (The vortex of stars in the black night That brought me here again surrounds my spirit and I feel like I am falling...) |
|||
4. | In Morte Aeternitas | 09:04 | Show lyrics |
What is this now, I am back on the highest spire but where are my comrades? Where are their corpses? I want to burn them in my people’s way There is no slain flesh, no bloodstains, not a trace of them to be found (A voice from the darkest corner of the shadowy castle hall) It has become eternal stone What once was flesh and bone To guard this fortress dark With a stone cold heart Atop the towers highest peaks Part of the wall the carved beasts Forever silent untiring guards Lurking with their stone cold hearts Resurrection – I have returned from the fire Resurrection – but I have been changed So much faster, so much stronger, what mortal man shall stand against me So much keener, so much sharper, my vision reveals the unseen to me So much harder, so much colder, my heart has become as the gargoyles around me Resurrection – Once I was dead Resurrection – No more tears I have returned!!! (Deep within the bleak walls of the dark fortress I have found a room of mirrors, upon their shimmering surfaces was displayed A scene from a strange and foreign land...) |
|||
5. | Moribound Be Thy Creation | 06:19 | Show lyrics |
A hill outside a town in a dry and dusty land Crowned by twenty crosses or more Soldiers in a kind of armour that I had never seen With short and shimmering swords And a crowd had gathered at the foot of one cross Gathered to watch the spectacle I’ve watched your saviour die and he wasn’t resurrected All your faith has been a lie – Jesus cried... Jesus cried The poor little worm, strapped onto a tree Begging for his life and screaming to be free Cried bloody tears and he wet his pants I could only laugh as this strange god ends And with my last laugh I am carried away There was no reason for me to stay For this god was a fake like most of them are The only lord is the master of war (Across the oceans of time I returned to the castle only to be carried away again, To some other place, to some other time...) |
|||
6. | Through Ages of War | 06:05 | Show lyrics |
Black void Nothing seen, emptiness reigns Where worlds collide Across the oceans of time I sail Across the oceans of time The tides of fate have carried me to battles of past and future I have fought in every war Claimed heads and blades as bounty from the warlords I’ve killed I have fought in every war The barbarian lord in the eastern plains – Attila was his name I pried his axe from his cold and stiff fingers To be my weapon of choice forevermore Dschingis Khan, Alexander the Great, King Richard of England All of them dead – killed by my hand Across the oceans of time I sail Across the oceans of time In the heart of every bloodbath I have slaughtered and destroyed Cleaving open wounds so deep, tearing flesh off bones Splitting skills and taking fame (1099, the taking of Jerusalem) |
|||
7. | Blood of the Templars | 07:20 | Show lyrics |
It was in 1099 in the eastern land, where that fool was crucified Jerusalem fell In midst of the ravaging, raping and pillaging I presented to one of the crusaders a gift from my lady so cruel The cup of blood, "The Holy Grail" – such blasphemy And they poured it down with passion, the blood of power of no holy origin, the blood of the whore The blood of the templars lives on Forevermore The blood of the templars will never die Far beyond religious superstition, true magic was their craft Spells this earth had never seen were cast in secret halls Ageless men, three hundred years, until Jacques de Molay was burned He cast a final spell, sending pope and king to hell But that wasn’t the end, for still they reign in silence The forces of fire have granted immortality to the last seven knights Seven lovers for a seven-headed whore... The blood is eternal, the blood is black... The blood of the templars lives on Forevermore The blood...blood of the templars (All my journeys through time, back and forth, had forged me into the Warlord) |
|||
8. | Warlord (Face the Angel of Pestilence) | 05:02 | Show lyrics |
I was born in the heat of battle With a weapon in my cradle I first spilled blood at the age of seven I killed my first enemy then at eleven Riding on the tides of war into a dark millenium High the axe that I have won from the hands of Attila Bloodstained I have always been, but no remorse I’ve known In conflict after conflict I piled skull upon skull The fools that stood against me all paid the price in blood And a heavy toll I’ve ever taken From the fires of the past rises the warlord Through the blood and destruction comes the warlord Upon the wings of hate and terror rides the warlord I know not of mercy and sorrow, so all fear the warlord Set alight unnumbered cities, pillaged countless homes Raped mothers and daughters alike before each other’s eyes I have slain many a weak hearted king and ended their short lived reigns The hammer of fate and the anvil of war have forged me to a master of battle From the fires of the past rises the warlord Through the blood and destruction comes the warlord Upon the wings of hate and terror rides the warlord I know not of mercy and sorrow, so all fear the warlord Immortal years of violence, hate will never die In my wake are left legions of the dead Oh, how all these victims died For no one ever survived My trail of corpses is far too long for any man to see In the middle of a bloodbath, that is where I want to be I am the warlord – I am the hate I am the butcher – cruel son of fate I slaughtered millions – I claimed my right I am the warlord – the immortal might Power and glory, bloodlust and rage Dominion and hatred, thunder and storm From the primeval forces of the earth I have been I am the warlord and I have no equal!!! (She spoke to me again, called me into her realm, so I shall ascend the stairs of fate and pass the gate of the slain...) |

9. | Battles Rage in the Infernal Depth | 06:49 | Show lyrics |
Upon a hilltop, surrounded by flame In my fist clenched a blade from blackened crystal Grown before me the endless fields of carnage And behind me the whore on her throne It has begun... Battles rage in the infernal depth – the war of domination Seven lords and ladies, sovereigns of the demon thrones. All made with power lust Armies of fire and brimstone, the wailing dead and their kin Legions of bloodthirsty demons, above on leathery wings Howls of the cursed and battle cries of those who’ve been fallen in battle before Are the signs of attack on this night Through the blackness and the screams, into the fray I charge Claiming head after head, piles of the dead behind me Battles rage in the infernal depth (Betrayal and treachery) Voice of the whore: "Give back to me, all your power, all your sweet, sweet power As I once gave you life, now I sentence you to die What was yours is now mine again, And I leave you powerless..." I am a warrior, I’ve always been. Mighty and proud, destined to win In my hand I hold a weapon, a blade of crystal black With blood in my eyes I rush to attack In the heat of battle, I’m in her back, with one fell stab And then I’m drinking her blood. Drowning in her blood Battles rage in the infernal depth – the war of domination (This power is burning within me, all turns black before my eyes And I can hear it as the mirror shatters and the gates are closed...) |

10. | A Fortress Dark | 08:16 | Show lyrics |
It has become eternal stone What once was flesh and bone To guard this fortress dark With a stone cold heart Atop the towers highest peaks Part of the wall the carved beasts Forever silent untiring guards Lurking with their stone cold hearts Years and years creep by in this silent eternity, Endless halls and passages walked by the dead alone And in the heat heart of the darkness I sit in silent communion with the beast cast in stone Silence falls, eternal night, a fortress dark in the pale moonlight And the banshees howl of my unkind fate It has become eternal stone What once was flesh and bone To guard this fortress dark With a stone cold heart Atop the towers highest peaks Part of the wall the carved beasts Forever silent untiring guards Lurking with their stone cold hearts In a fortress dark Legend of the dark fortress Beware if you tread the paths of the other side |

1. | Iconoclasm Omega | 06:41 | Show lyrics |
Can’t stand the thought to exist within a lie Katharsis unleashed, hear my call This is the point of no return Can’t wait for the day Armageddon rapes humanity Nemesis unleashed, nations will pray in vain I have seen the face of death This is the end supreme I abdicate god And his creation I abdicate "life" And mankind’s false illusions Pitch black deserts await my pain, so odious mundane A perversion called "life" lead my astray let me awake from this never ending faint Bury me insanity! All this can’t be real Bury me despondency! There are just too many wounds to heal Within the storm of a thousand fears You will see the face of disdain Within the hour of a thousand tears You will hear my name again Dead Race Walking! |

2. | Self-Mutilation | 06:45 | Show lyrics |
"Welcome to my world, I know, You won’t see, what I see, feel what I feel" Guided by sin, obsessed by anguish Again and again Doomed to suffer, a slave of disdain "Bleed for me, and I’ll lead you To a higher ectasy Bleed for me, and I’ll lead you To a deep kind of agony" Only pain... As the blade feeds my weary flesh again Only hate... As the blade seals my contaminated fate Tempted by emotions So far away from what you call "life" Unchained wolves Swallow my soul Despair is the source of all life Self-Destruction the only way I choose death to live! And when Utopia crumbles Morbid souls move on ...my journey has just begun... |

3. | Stab Wounds | 08:11 | Show lyrics |
All the pain I felt in "life" Shall now be yours until your soul is torn apart All the despair I had to bear Shall now melt within your mendacious heart With my final breath I curse your feeble flesh To "life" eternal in a joyless labyrinth Thousands of years of pain for you, every single heartbeat a stab wound within your soul I am the witness of your fall, I am the stab wound within your soul I am the storm within the cold I am the stab wound within your soul I am distress, when you crawl I am the stab wound within your soul No benediction, no release No remorse... this scars shall never heal! ...and wherever you may be, wherever you may go, my hatred will follow |

Cold, my heart Raped by the descendants of light Embittered my soul Drowned in a flood of desperate views It feels like I have walked this earth For a thousand years, my breath so heavy, my tears in vain Hypnos embraces me The dead caress my sleep once more I gaze at one single shining star, That shows me the way To a distant crypt, to my grave I am yearning for When thousand crypts awake, You can hear them calling for me When thounsand souls are lost The winds whisper a tragedy Of one single soul, That reached infinity |

5. | Despise the "Living" | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
Nightmare, oh precious nightmare, Be my guest, my only friend In times of despair Whilst "life" passes by, Life that never were Time heals wounds, But I cannot forget Time heals wounds, But I cannot forgive The gallows call for you, The gallows call for me, Can’t you see the end is near? Nightmare, oh glorious nightmare Tell me within my dreams undreamt If this is the life they all speak of? "Unicus impulsus Animi mei est Mortem obire Mihi mortem conscisco At tamen tum Demum vivetum" Infamous hope, Monolith of a dying race I caluminate humanity With delight Pestilence, come forth to judge Come forth and erase this final remembrance |

6. | A Midnight Poem | 08:47 | Show lyrics |
Hours get lost, every shadow A fragment of the past A scenario of the dead In grievance for the hours we shared Curse me, take my breath away Life disgusts me Touch me, take my "life" away Life disgusts me Years got lost, every single moment A fragment of demise For the bleak seasons never change Within this desolating overture Curse me, take my breath away Life disgusts me Touch me, take my "life" away Life disgusts me Life got lost, all hope forsaken Again the shadows lead my way To a distant place... to another day Why? |

7. | Rest in Oblivion | 08:29 | Show lyrics |
Still, I gaze upon to the death-drowned skies, Where all my buried visions lie, Still, the pulse of "life" tears me apart, Like a burning dagger within my heart Smothering, suffering, My face in the mirror Just another carved monument of transience Like a grey illusion in a midnigth’s dream Longing for the final coronation The day of this sickness’ cremation A weary soul, pierced by the wounds of "life" Depressing emptiness, Loss of perception Misery, come and bless my soul once more Forgotten, the time, when I was free Forsaken, the place, where I wish to be Just one picture marked in my mind, Death take my hand, Take me to the ruins of my destination! Rest in oblivion my persihed soul, In places so drab, in timeless spheres, Never to be called again Life is all in vain, for only ashes will remain |

9. | Like a Somnambulist in Daylight’s Fire | 07:52 | Show lyrics |
Don’t ask, why darkness never ends I believe some things were never meant to be I am Death’s devoted instrument Abysmal dirges guide my way to the graveyard ground Disharmonic choirs from out of the morgue scream I am Death’s devoted instrument Alcohol within my veins, mesmerized my senses Addicted to the other side I feel the subconscious need To leave this human entity My soul was sentenced far too long, To perish in a lifeless shell, To search for answers in this living hell It doesn’t take a lifetime to feel alone It just takes a look at you...yet it’s too late... ...it’s time to end it here... Suicide, the only solution My senses drift away Through a bleak vortex of supplanted memories Fragments of "life" passing by Through sorrow, tears and silent cries Death, is it you my faithful friend? (Could it be, that I’ve already seen the end?) We are just fading moments Of a specious fate May I be one with decadence I’ve pulled the trigger far too late! |

1. | Ghastly Indoctrination | 07:39 | Show lyrics |
In mysterious ways, your soul sinks down, as eerie constellations, told of it before. This time you cannot hide! A maelstrom of inhuman fears, and the only way goes down... Gone are days of phantasmagoria, welcome to the necromantic gallery. Where nightmares become so real, and souls are stigmatized, with the sign of impurity. Desolation all around, welcome to the promised land. Where no single beam of light, ever touched the ground. Life eternal, in a traumatic fade. Believe me, this is not a dream. These dead eyes, you are gazing at are yours! Call it Heaven, call it Hell! This is where, the restless dwell... Misshapen silhouettes so awake, black faces and only shades of grey. Distorted incantations, and prayers for aeons unheard, in wastelands of delusion. |

2. | CataWomb | 06:41 | Show lyrics |
To the ruins of Utopia, once again. Subteranean elegy, anthems from beyond the grave. The elements in change, everything is lost. Bound onto the Aevum, the empty space my host. Bemoan the loss of life, but the end just stays the same. For this pathetic path I walk, awaits you all one single day. The aftermath of death, the loss of body and soul. Life, the epitome of affliction. Nihil Ex Nihilo! Life without end? Postmortem empiricism, the only thing that remains. Life is pain! But death betrayed me, just the same. Life is pain! But death betrayed me, just the same. Postmortem empiricism, the only thing that remains. A life in pain, but death led me astray. 13 candles on my grave, but the memory is gone. 13 candles flickering, in the distance. The emptiness melts with my soul! Death is just a different path, but the pictures stay the same. To the ruins of Utopia, once again. Subteranean elegy, anthems from beyond the grave. The elements in change, everything is lost. Bound onto the Aevum, the empty space my host. |

3. | Requiem Grotesque | 06:50 | Show lyrics |
De profundis clamavi ad te domine. Domine ex ordi vocem meam. Tianc auris ture e intendentis. In vocem deprecationes meae. Requiem aeternam dona eis domine. Et lux perpetua luceat deis. Requiescant in pace. Grotesque visions of paradise, death bells chime for my soul’s demise. Sharing eternity with the parasites, all alone with my cries. Alone... Sharing eternity, with the parasites. Embedded in silk my corpse, enshrouded in silence my soul. Is this your God’s paradise? Thought death may heal the wounds, but nothing can ease the pain. As I linger in my casket, dreaming of death’s domain. |

4. | While They Sleep | 07:11 | Show lyrics |
Life: capitulation. Death: salvation. Welcome to the nightmare 24/7. Numb reflections, of a dying mind. The will to exist, long before declined. Thus I’ve left, this mass grave earth behind. When everything seems so trivial, I take a look at you. Children of scorn, when souls search for their haven. Your dreams become the portal! Beyond the corridors of thoughts, I languish downcast, somehow dying, laughing. Beyond the subconscious realms, of the beyond I linger. Once mourned, now forgotten! Life: capitulation. Death: disconsolation. Sleep, my child! And the dead may follow... Whenever I thought, "there’s a light below!". The night became darker, than ever before. While you sleep, the dead whisper a lullaby. Deeper into the night I go, suicide was the key. For sure this must be, the way to Hell. While they sleep, I whisper a lullaby. Suicide was the key! For sure this must be, the way to Hell. |

5. | To Harvest the Artefacts of Mockery | 04:11 | Show lyrics |
The innocent skies torn asunder, again the clock strikes 12. Open the channel to your mind, I am the voice of egoism. The icon of arrogance! It’s the Devil inside of me, a celestial apostasy. I am the one fallen from grace, now unleash sadistic retribution. Reminiscence of chaos now revealed, a spiritual vacuum can’t be broken. Angstridden souls can be dejected, until there’s nothing left of it. It’s the Devil inside of me! Every night, a part of you is dying. Paranormal obsession, this is the art of taking lives. Every night, your soul is crying. Paranormal oppression, this it the way of sardonic tyranny. It’s the Devil inside of me, a celestial apostasy. I am the one fallen from grace, now unleash the fucking retribution. Reminiscence of chaos now revealed, a spiritual vacuum can’t be broken. Angstridden souls can be dejected, until there’s nothing left of it. |

6. | Poltergeist | 05:56 | Show lyrics |
I am the phenomenon, I am the light. I am the dark, I am the complex. I am real! Face my shadow on the walls! a phantom of despite, the 4th dimension terror. I am the one, I am the one denied. I am the one, the one denied. I am the one denied! I am the nightmare, knockin’ on your door. Cursed for aeons, Death’s disciple. I am the eerie cold, touchin’ your skin. Cursed for aeons, life’s denial. I am the eerie cold! I am the phenomenon, from beyond. I am the light, leading your through the dark. I am the dark, leading you astray. I am the complex voice, inside your head. Have you ever wondered, why all this has got to be? Have you ever wondered, why you shiver at night? Have you ever wondered, why the invisible makes you afraid? This is when our worlds collide, this is when I crush your soul. This is when souls can’t rest at night, this is insanity incarnated. |

7. | Revolution: Vanity | 05:14 | Show lyrics |
Submissions of the 4th dimension machinery, key to my soul’s tranquility. Archetype of my ascendancy, relinquish evanescent structures of humanity. Shapeless, into a darkened spiral I fade. The ignorance of man, my masquerade. Metamorphosis of a stillborn creation, opened wide my soul for spiritual illumination. I am the secret, isolated in worlds beyond. I am the horror, the art of demand. Flesh, the quintessence of vanity. Spirit, the ultimate evolution of sanity. Flesh, the quintessence of vanity. Spirit, the ultimate evolution of sanity. Metamorphosis, of a stillborn creation, opened wide my soul, for spiritual illumination. I am the secret, isolated in worlds beyond I am the horror, the art of demand. |

8. | Incide | 05:20 | Show lyrics |
(Instrumental) "The last horrendous error of a soul, tortured irretrievably into insanity, by a horde of disembodied demons: Rather than being the last desperate way out, the granted deathwish removes the last physical protection, and renders the soul completely helpless, in the demon’s own astral territory..." |

9. | Shardfigures | 06:22 | Show lyrics |
All my life I searched for thee, to make me feel complete. But only bitterness spoke to me, in a language I had to learn, throughout the years. All my life, I was wandering through the dark, without any spark of hope. Never knew where I belonged, weary of life and jaded. It was just too late to turn around. All my life I felt alone, no matter where I’ve gone. There’s never a place, for someone else, in the portrait, of a lifeless soul. All my life I searched for death, to make me feel alive. Now as he came for me, I’ve realized that I was, just too blind too see. There’s never a place, for someone else! In death I search again for thee, to erase this painful memory. These words of disconsolation, for they shall be my legacy. |

10. | Insomnia | 06:34 | Show lyrics |
I drown for too long, I felt the winter’s breath. The rain keeps falling, down into my soul. Thorns cover my grave, they hurt within me! I wonder how death, shall be eternal sleep, when I cannot close my eyes. I wonder how death, shall ever set me free. When there’s even in this darkness, no place for us to be. Wish I could kill myself again, the spectral lights would fade away. And I... A thousand voices in my mind, a thousand empty faces starring at me. A thousand lies I can’t forget, and one single life... A thousand lies I can’t forget, and one single life I do regret. The only thing left of me, an aura cold and blue. As the Banshees embrace me, embrace me with a sigh. I do regret! I am gone! The autumn’s song, is guiding me. With the sound, of the weeping rain, I fall asleep. And the thorns, that cover my grave? They hurt no more! I wonder how death, shall be eternal sleep, when I cannot close my eyes. I wonder how death, shall ever set me free. When there’s even in this darkness, no place for us to be. The only thing left of me, an aura cold and blue. As the Banshees embrace me, embrace me with a sigh. |

1. | The Silver Gate | 06:50 | Show lyrics |
Awake, Angels of Lunacy! Arise, Avatars of Chaos! Incinerate yourselves in the blaze of Babalon. Hierophants of the Hurricane, we invoke the Eidolon. Unleash the storm! We renounce the sin of mortal fallacy, bestow upon us our stellar legacy. Peel the benighted sheels from our radiant cores. We obey the laws of finitude no more. Ascend in Akasha to procreate, strip the flesh from your soul! Extend, open the silver gate. Melt yourself beyond all control! Give birth to the vision, let enter the voice and dare not falter, let the demons eat you. Confide in your Nuit, never your senses! Nine apparations, the nails of Yod, drip from the moon as unhallowed blood. Anubis’ terror to feed you as the night condenses. Ascend in Akasha to procreate, strip the flesh from your soul! Extend, open the silver gate. Melt yourself beyond all control! In poisoned aberration tarnished minions abire. Convocating execrations to drown and smother, to divide. Recline, rejoice! Discard the body and saviour this, your threnody. Divine by last alone and second skin, as the eyes turn to stone let the heave begin! Azazel, Shemhazu! Rejoin your kin in faith and fate! Heed not the warnings, we invoke the manyfold. Ny-Ar-Rut-Hotep! For we know there is no peace at the gate. There is no peace at the gate! Ascend in Akasha to procreate, strip the flesh from your soul! Extend, open the silver gate. Melt yourself beyond all control! In Akasha to procreate! Disembodied, unfettered souls. Open the Silver Gate, we embrace the stars with twin black holes. |

2. | Cohorror | 05:37 | Show lyrics |
Petrified in sleep paralysis, swallowed by nigtmare cataclysms. Cohorror builds its temple in me! Erecting hydric elevation under my cataleptic skin. Dreaming and dead, still howling defiance. Even in this gruesome revelation the bottom drops from abyssal unreality. Wrenching revulsion cracks my skull and kills me again. I know this epiphany wearing my own face. Who are you? Cohorror has laid its eggs in me! Parasitic larvae from beyond existence. Raven the remnants of my decaying humanity! This gnostic burst repels all life to unbeing, the essence of death. Transmogrifies all to the pitiless laughter of the birthless. How resilient not to choose to flee, rather be consumed by us! You have a name, long forgotten by men and their Gods! Eat my soul if you will but impart yourself. In your worlds we cannot be known, there’s no "here" for us to ever be. If you desire so to blindly see, seek the path that leads through the Eidolon! Bedevilled into unearthly perplexity. Frozen in horror my countenance stares back at me! |

3. | Baphomet | 06:24 | Show lyrics |
Surge Baphomet! Born from shade and dead desire, in the glade, a secret fire. Hidden from time and sin, ardent Gods stir again. Surge Baphomet, grant me Anathema. Purge me, Baphomet from worlds in denial. Through demise and desecration, in disguise dwells the Lord of ecstasy. Defies the lie of divine castration! Claims his prize, the awoken few’s apostasy. Intoxicate me with ambrosia thawed on Mother Nature’s button. Legs of lust moist and spread, scythe of death, poised, agog. If the "Why" rears his head let him die like a dog. Surge Baphomet, grant me Anathema. Purge me, Baphomet from worlds in denial. Expectorate me into infinity! I thirst for the obsidian venom of the boundless sea of space. "You summon me in childish play and insert time. I am devoid of pain but I can take you there and beyond if this be your wish. Come with me and I show you the glow, of inverted stars. Come with me and burn in the furnace of inverted vision. Come with me and there will be no more "me" for the "you" to follow. Come with me, I am in awe of the extent of your ignorance. Come with me... Since the dawn of guilt my path has changed. Last of the Nephilim! I have lingered in the seclusion of wood and fear. Uncaring for your woe, for I am a God of pleaseure. I will not shed a tear on your perished spirit when you return." |

4. | The Unflesh | 05:08 | Show lyrics |
Simian moths in search of metanoia and illuminance, exuberant dismay they will reap. Condemnation decomposes sanity through inhumanity and putrification, a plunge towards hopeless dismal death. Another pawn has taken the fall, a mind unsound and rotted. Put him up against the wall along with the tortured, the raped and the gutted. The unflesh is burning... And when the shell of mortal breath has ruptured, when existence has been wiped Off the portal of perception. When freed of shape or heart Anon succumbs to life-defying rapture, at last the truth be shown. And the deprivation has just begun, unseen chasms of perdition await. The very fabric of the soul comes undone. Never to abate, the gulf digests them one by one. The unflesh is burning... And when the shell of mortal breath has ruptured, when existence has been wiped Off the portal of perception. When freed of shape or heart Anon succumbs to life-defying rapture, at last the truth be shown. |

5. | Analepsy | 06:01 | Show lyrics |
To grim horizons the I escapes, the body broken, a hapless shape. Thanatos rising from Eros’ womb, from life awoken my carnal tomb. Soon, now, or never! Amorphous angels eerily sing, a glaring promise of deliverance. From devastation and suffering spark faint illusions of omnipotence. Come Analepsy! Unmake me, take me away. Analepsy unbreak me! My soul is gone, my mind is charred, there’s not much left to be redeemed. The storm has blown my Self to shards, I drift bereft of death or dream. Soon, now, or never! Amorphous angels eerily sing, a glaring promise of deliverance. From devastation and suffering spark faint illusions of omnipotence. Come Analepsy! Unmake me, take me away. Analepsy unbreak me! With broken eyes I turn to stone. Derelict, dissolved I fade alone. The vision dies in a void beyond measure. Unabsolved, the decrepit ruined temple of all pleasure. |

6. | Edge of Night | 03:57 | Show lyrics |
Lethean crevasses magnetized inebriate the fallen, forebode the edge of night. In absence, discovery of luscious pain, volcano hushed. Boiling licks, sculpting memories. Merciless hand lacerating to Devour. Ever-seeing, sleepless drug, atramentous, atomise. Forgetful, shunned by perjuring light, walking asleep. The core hungered, deprived! Asleep, lost the light of day! At the borders of emptiness the dusk of debauched desire’s seizure, revealed on Nadir enthroned. A ceraunoscopic spectre A pulsing sclera wants me, spewing faces from her hideous Nidus at the edge of night. Omnivorous cascades mesmerize incubate the fallen, beget the edge of night. Severed limbs jolting in spasms. Convulsing to connect to lobotomized phantasms. Asleep, lost the light of day! Asleep, lost the light of day! |

7. | No Longer Human | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
Open the Aethyr with a creak like a quake and a hiss of newborn stars. There is division hither homeward. We call to life the Anti-Janus! The anti-door that splits the mirror. We call to death the dream of species. Release the chaos! We call to death the inertia of incarnation. Twirling the vortex, our gazes hermetic Shall cause the tide of time to rip. No longer morphically crucified, devour the form of all life in their star-engulfing grip. Twin gaping black holes consume your flesh in a halo of flaring and spinning worlds No longer human! Your eyes are transcending the cortex of your burning soul. Deep in the heart of Uroboros Rectificando invenies clavem occultam. Unmake all doors, let life and death be one! Plunge with me into the sixth dimension, embodied in us the phase-space of all life at once. Twirling the vortex, our gazes spawned novas have caused the void of space to rip. No longer morphically crucified, devour the form of all life in their star-engulfing grip. Born from our fire, the shape of all death at once. Twin gaping black holes consume your flesh in a halo of flaring and spinning worlds No longer human! Your eyes are transcending the cortex of your burning soul. |

Sparked by sentience in me, immense the globed sky. Marked by death in life The "we" hatches from the "I". Seek thee in me, find me in thee. Izzu Tahuti, bearing Horus transfigured. Catacrusis! Metanova hurled down the dimensions. Catacrusis! Raving madness only to the profane. Immanent transcendence! Bearing down, I bring the fire. The misguided shrouded in blissful nescience. Immanent transcendence! Bearing down, I bring the fire. The misguided shrouded in blissful nescience. Seek thee in me, find me in thee. Izzu Tahuti, bearing Horus transfigured.

Condensed anew into unspeakable immortal coil. Malkuth is trembling, lies askew before the end of all mortal toil. Reborn by the vastness of the outer pandemonium. Spawned by all the Ungods lurking defiled by the Genesis. Deliver me and I shall wrench the world wide open for the coming of Elysium. In the dawning unlight I shall walk the earth as your Messiah, your Nemesis. Hiscat Barathrum! Antiversum! Cohorrescent corpora mea. Antiversum! Reverto ut frendeam orbitem terrarum. From behind the glass, in dimensions long cast aside, I see a shape familiar yet forgotten. Mummified in space and time. Lifeless, rotten! Reborn by the vastness of the outer pandemonium. Spawned by all the Ungods lurking defiled by the Genesis. Deliver me and I shall wrench the world wide open for the coming of Elysium. In the dawning unlight I shall walk the earth as your Messiah, your Nemesis. Antiversum! Cohorrescent corpora mea. Antiversum! Reverto ut frendeam orbitem terrarum. Legions of nightmares flank my side, the mirror bursts like an eggshell. I emerge, black furnace in the flesh to bring the end of all continuum. Antiversum! Cohorrescent corpora mea. Antiversum!

Scorched by time and death And a bloated sun long since shriveled The waste lies cold before me God’s creation ground to a shroud that stretches From horizon to horizon When all are dead And all is gone Not a breath stirs the air The faded moon finds only dust Crowded in the grip of a celestial wrath Forever drifting through infinite frozen void I exalt, alone at last Behold my kingdom From horizon to horizon When all are gone At last descends the silence Wide awake to receive this bliss Free of hate, free of pain, free of the need to escape Everflowing, everglowing abyss Drink my spirit, beget new shape For even ruins shall reminisce In powdered bone the lark of djinns and jinxes And from afar the story hiss And lucid moans of copulating sphinxes |

An ash painted chamber where death has been A song of entrails strung upon a violin On the brow, blood and sperm, with bile thinned And sealed with the Hecate’s nightshade kiss Five live cats, into a pentagram pinned To fuel their yowls, be they partly skinned A will to call the reaper to seal the abyss Where the half-eaten faces of Choronzon grin And the deluge begins As a wail runs into course Defeat devours defiance Life congeals, unhallowed Stench billows Raped into compliance The strong force yields To the redivider Altars bleed their rotting sanctity Aborted selves convulse Retch momentity avulsed from bliss The walls give way To a trembling pandemonium Nightmares flood the dying soul’s septic vision Decrepit screams, extraneous and obitual Gnosis through unbearability, psychosis by volition This is not a happy ritual Triumphantly Entropy parades its mandibles Tendons snap, bone rips from bone Atrocity transfigures overthrown humanity A scythed obscene apparition stands alone Praise the descending dark Praise limbo’s dripping vulva Praise the perishing spark That takes with it eternal life Iginum imus nocte et canoumimus igni The acolytes shed blood devoutly Dying slowly where they kneel The figure reaches out His clutches grab an easy meal But as the fiend unvigilant, Turns to feed, the master draws Upon his chest a vigil and Invents death and the devil’s laws In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni Vigna te, vigma temere me tangis et angis Forta faterno culto mulli claudaris lament Immare irate, in subata procella Invoco te, marstra occulta stella For when you Even death will die We spin around the night Consumed by the fire Cross thyself, you plague And vex me without need Even though consumed by fire We spin around the night In seas of wrath and sudden storms I invoke thee We spin around the night Consumed by the fire For when you should have danced Even death will die Even though consumed by fire We spin around the night |

Somewhere down the line Man created god in his image Inadequacy on a pedestal A basin for a lake of tears to drown in And here we go again Where there’s blood there’s hirudineans Crawling from every hole, blotting blindly A brainless mob on the prowl Sycophants cough their amen Follow the light at the end of the auricle Egos inflate as the bugs migrate Every blurp a revelation, an oracle Fall, fall, fall, like flies from the heavens The leeches slide from their slippy throne Suck, suck, suck, till we drown in their muck Still quetching away, splitting heads with their drone I will not waste my time I will not waste my anger Trying to find the head on a worm With a rectum on either end A lie in a frame is still a profanity A ghoul with a crown can never be king Even crap will succumb to vanity its own stench the measure of all things Fall, fall, fall, like drunks from a tight rope Nothing but a skidmark in history Suck, suck, suck, empty heads run amok Choking on self-digesting misery Eyes will open Only when the ass starts burning Atrophied tentacles start groping Always loping, never learning Deeper and deeper Into the swamp you sing with every word To rot on its bottom Until the stink hearalds the next outpour of turds |

I woke at first cold wisp of dawn To frightened mourners’ quiet lament From brooding death into rock withdrawn, To see upon my hand descend A giant moth with burning wings And a face like the god of fever From tortured lands a whisper brings To further grieve the unbeliever, Then fast decays to liquid rot Wherein one insane eye still reels Towards horizons misbegot In lurking ill beyond the veil The glow of monstrous fetid light Begins to seep into the world Flee to the last few specks of night Ere cursed sun his plague unfurls It is too late Here comes the dawn Goddess of love, morning star Oh how you have betrayed us all Beneath your beauty, ghostly, far, Boils pestilence, and horrors crawl A wretched huddle by the cave We watch our planet rolling slowly Towards the festering unholy Abyss of light that is our grave Focul tău (Your fire) Nu ne mai încălzește (No longer warms us) Distrugerea ta (Your perdition) Peste noi din cer (Upon us from the sky) Fleshless tendrils rake the air Where once sweet pastures bloomed in peace Sickening rays in malice flair What once gave life now broods disease Blind and lost we perish, shattered Earth lies battered Sidereal venom spreads Venereal dawn Defiles all living matter Erupts supernal atter Ethereal, venereal dawn With putrid fists corrupts and twists Pandemic glow subdues the world Ruthless, imperial, venereal dawn Trees once kissed to majesty By soothing stellar bliss Now scream in silent anguish As they’re wrenched towards the sky Infested roots seek waning Darkness as they die Choking in the cankerous air, Now a smouldering abyss Focul tău (Your fire) Nu ne mai încălzește (No longer warms us) Distrugerea ta (Your perdition) Peste noi din cer (Upon us from the sky) Abominations stalk the land Sublimed from void and spite Vestigial grace’s venal hand Failing beast and man alike The foul sun rising Daybreak begets On the horizon A silhouette A man-like shape Comes at us, writhing Snakes ’neath burnt skin Seething eyes, mouths agape On fevered wings he is upon us From his gorge retches a flood To drench us as he grabs us, one by one, In putrefying stolen blood Venereal dawn Defiles all living matter Erupts supernal atter Ethereal, venereal dawn With putrid fists corrupts and twists Pandemic glow subdues the world Ruthless, imperial Under necrotic cells, with plasma stained The sun’s disease cannot touch me I faint as I’m dragged across mangled plains Sânge să fi cu noi (Blood be with us) Sânge cuprinde-ne (Blood embrace us) Sânge ne va salva (Blood will save us) Unul după altul (One by one) Sânge peste noi (Blood upon us) Sânge ne va proteja (Blood will guard us) Sânge ne va salva (Blood will save us) De soare (From the sun) Sânge să fi cu noi (Blood be with us) Sânge cuprinde-ne (Blood embrace us) Sânge ne va salva (Blood will save us) Unul după altul (One by one) Sânge peste noi (Blood upon us) Sânge ne va proteja (Blood will guard us) Sânge ne va salva (Blood will save us) |

Rampant hubris spreads Through empires built on fallacy Echoes conceit of the living and the dead Propagates the seeds of corroding deceit Eyes in the skies Poisoned wires run Lies pulling at threads Till they come undone Civilization unravels itself Denies the demise Which from avarice comes Dies - still pulling at its threads Breaking them one by one In saturnine gluttony, the monster feeds Cannibalizing on itself Until there’s nothing left Even titans fall To the spells of Uranos Those slightest ploys At the heart of the avalanche Concealed from narcissist dementia The bane of giants hides in the small Horizons hypnotising, paralysing Gargantuan puppets To be destroyed From within By their minuscule masters Patiently watching corruption Run its course Scared and ensnared in their nightmare Souls slowly drain, blind and unaware Stained with disdain, devout in hatred Vain, inane, bloated and insane Confident Cocky Lazy Dead |

9. | In Deepest Time | 05:16 | Show lyrics |
From the first procaryote that strains Towards its young star’s distant lucent beams To the last black hole’s Matrioshka branes All genesis churns In primeval dreams of splendor Chimeras of grandeur Even here in deepest time Creation will remember An endless effort, doomed to forever Fall apart at the seams The hunt for permanence Reduced to grazing swamps Of vapid dreams of splendor Chimeras of grandeur Even here in deepest time Creation will remember Through veils of death, and death again The antiversum shattered The world crushed to a singularity And hurled back to noxious light Now damned to be the vessel The very fabric of spacetime reborn Outside time Outside life Outside any single thing that ever was or ever will be Dreams of splendor Chimeras of grandeur Even here in deepest time Creation will remember In deepest time Creation will remember |

As broken bells resound in the church of megalomania the stench of death surrounds the fields of spiritual necromania Deluded stooges amass Still clinging to empty vows For one final ebrious mass Never temple, always slaughterhouse Too long have the watchers gazed upon The cancerous boils of arrogance Now time has carved the path The mirage of relevance Worn down in corrosion’s quiet attrition Corporeal elements Subvert its Sisyphean accretion Orbital decay And crawling hydrogen depletion Enough to burn away A pantheon of superstition No call for your glory Amidst the howling winds that feed Time’s vast cemetery Erased are the stories Doused, the fire stolen from the sky Now an ashen mortuary Too long have the watchers gazed upon The cancerous boils of arrogance Now time has carved the path Too long has the continuum been riled By biotic usurpation Now entropy has pulled the plug No call for your glory Amidst the howling winds that feed Time’s vast cemetery Erased are the stories Doused, the fires stolen from the sky And its worthless luminaries Come, death Let your gracious silent storm Disperse the swan song of all life Come, death Dispel the nightmare of eternal life Come, death Lay waste to the pious, The just and the depraved alike Their shrines Their whores and their fucking gods Come wipe out every last pathetic trace Come at last Wipe it all away |

Mors ridebit et natura, Cum perit creatura, Nulli et vacuo responsura. Confutatis maledictis Flammis gelantibus addictis, Dedisce me cum benedictus. Libera me, mors caloris, de vitá aeterna In nocte illa tremenda Quando coeli licti sunt et terra, Dum nihil venerit judicare aut deorum mentiri. |

Pilgrim of the nightly spheres Behind the sleeping cascades You wander restelessly In hope of finding the gateway - to eternity Darkness your constant companion When the ancients spoke of a realm - a realm where nothing dies, but yet all is dead your visions where so clear, but yet captured in a dying world. Pilgrim of the nightly spheres, child of sin, child of the dark, yours is the monument of scorn for you’ve left the trail of weakness just to find loneliness "...will you ever find the gateway, will you ever reach the gateway, the gateway to eternity - to eternal life..." Pilgrim of the nightly spheres I know one night your star will ablaze in the nocturnal horizon to show me your traces in the dark |

Close your eyes and follow me to a land beyond the gates of agonizing dreams. Ride with me upon hills of martyred souls, where once blood was spilled for the one, the master ring, created in the flames of Amon Amarth. "One Ring To Rule Them All, One Ring To Find Them, One Ring To Bring Them All, And In The Darkness Bind Them." Feel the agic of the winds of wrath and walk with me on the blackened paths through Thaur-nu-fuin. Enter this world beyond all human dimensions and close the gate of life forever to unveil the secrets of this long forgotten tale of ancient glory. A tale that seemed to be lost in the hidden shadows of Mordor... |

... and I still hear the sound of shattering swords, I still see the empty eyes of the fallen warriors, I still hear their screams on the wind for I am one of the ancient race, summoned by the scars of time Once I had risen amongst the Nine through a spell of cast behind the shadowwalls of Minas Morgul. Nazgul, hunters of the night, damned to search for the One, even death cannot take this heritage from me. I still roam the mighty forest of Neldoreth, like Carcharoth did in ancient times, feeling eternal emptiness inside. Like in thousands of nights before I look up to the starless skies above, where once Glaurung ruled in a silhouette of fire, and again I feel endless torture - I have failed... |

In a land of never resting shadows, where I have found the essence of profound immortality. In the land of Mordor I shall wander eternally, awaiting my sunless dawn to fall into the funeral embrace, where I shall dwell in silence. Wistful I cry for the end Minas Morgul - Once my empire, Now withering in a spectral morning veil; Who can deliver me from this unbearable destiny? "Ash Nazg Durbatuluk, Ash Nazg Gimpatul, Ash Nazg Thrakatuluk, Agh Burzum - Ishi Krimpatul" A sunbeam ends my journey, dawn breaks in the east - Soon I will return into these dungeons with the nightshadows by my side... A tale that never ends! |

Pilgrim of the nightly spheres Behind the sleeping cascades You wander restelessly In hope of finding the gateway - to eternity Darkness your constant companion When the ancients spoke of a realm - a realm where nothing dies, but yet all is dead your visions where so clear, but yet captured in a dying world. Pilgrim of the nightly spheres, child of sin, child of the dark, yours is the monument of scorn for you’ve left the trail of weakness just to find loneliness "...will you ever find the gateway, will you ever reach the gateway, the gateway to eternity - to eternal life..." Pilgrim of the nightly spheres I know one night your star will ablaze in the nocturnal horizon to show me your traces in the dark |

2. | Pilgrim of the Nightly Spheres | 04:13 | Show lyrics |
Pilgrim of the nightly spheres Behind the sleeping cascades You wander restelessly In hope of finding the gateway - to eternity Darkness your constant companion When the ancients spoke of a realm - a realm where nothing dies, but yet all is dead your visions where so clear, but yet captured in a dying world. Pilgrim of the nightly spheres, child of sin, child of the dark, yours is the monument of scorn for you’ve left the trail of weakness just to find loneliness "...will you ever find the gateway, will you ever reach the gateway, the gateway to eternity - to eternal life..." Pilgrim of the nightly spheres I know one night your star will ablaze in the nocturnal horizon to show me your traces in the dark |
|||
3. | Twilight | 04:33 | Show lyrics |
Embraced by solitude I leave this world As the last tear of blood leaves my veins, I long for harmony For the last time I look up to the nightsky And watch the stars in a blackwind dying For the last time I watch the fading of the candlelight ... and I whisper my final breath into Eternity knowing that all life ends someday Oh, may the autumnal winds carry my empty soul Into the vale of oblivion Where I shall forever wander over The fields of melancholy To be a solitary shadow out of time "Oh please let me long for silence, let me walk the path of sin, but your weepings - full of grievance. Oh, please take my hand and follow me into the night, just follow me to a place, where darkness shines so bright." |
|||
4. | Apocalypse | 03:37 | Show lyrics |
"From the kingdom of damnation we arise..." As the apocalyptic dragon flies over the land misery returns - set the world in flames Thunder and lightning gather in the nocturnal sky, the stench of corpses fills the night - we’re the devil’s scythe We arise in a sea of fire, holocaust - our only desire. We the tyrants of doom, the infernal spawn, the prayers for luciferian dawn. We bring you pestilence and pain In the dark lord’s name we shall reign! As the apocalyptic dragon flies over tha land misery returns - set the world in flames Christianity bleeds - forevermore!! |

5. | Immortality Profound (Trilogy) - Dreaming... (Chapter 1) | 04:14 | Show lyrics |
Close your eyes and follow me to a land beyond the gates of agonizing dreams. Ride with me upon hills of martyred souls, where once blood was spilled for the one, the master ring, created in the flames of Amon Amarth. "One Ring To Rule Them All, One Ring To Find Them, One Ring To Bring Them All, And In The Darkness Bind Them." Feel the agic of the winds of wrath and walk with me on the blackened paths through Thaur-nu-fuin. Enter this world beyond all human dimensions and close the gate of life forever to unveil the secrets of this long forgotten tale of ancient glory. A tale that seemed to be lost in the hidden shadows of Mordor... |
|||
6. | Immortality Profound (Trilogy) - Throne of Sombre Thoughts (Chapter 2) | 05:05 | Show lyrics |
... and I still hear the sound of shattering swords, I still see the empty eyes of the fallen warriors, I still hear their screams on the wind for I am one of the ancient race, summoned by the scars of time Once I had risen amongst the Nine through a spell of cast behind the shadowwalls of Minas Morgul. Nazgul, hunters of the night, damned to search for the One, even death cannot take this heritage from me. I still roam the mighty forest of Neldoreth, like Carcharoth did in ancient times, feeling eternal emptiness inside. Like in thousands of nights before I look up to the starless skies above, where once Glaurung ruled in a silhouette of fire, and again I feel endless torture - I have failed... |
|||
7. | Immortality Profound (Trilogy) - Captured in Eternity’s Eyes (Chapter 3) | 04:16 | Show lyrics |
In a land of never resting shadows, where I have found the essence of profound immortality. In the land of Mordor I shall wander eternally, awaiting my sunless dawn to fall into the funeral embrace, where I shall dwell in silence. Wistful I cry for the end Minas Morgul - Once my empire, Now withering in a spectral morning veil; Who can deliver me from this unbearable destiny? "Ash Nazg Durbatuluk, Ash Nazg Gimpatul, Ash Nazg Thrakatuluk, Agh Burzum - Ishi Krimpatul" A sunbeam ends my journey, dawn breaks in the east - Soon I will return into these dungeons with the nightshadows by my side... A tale that never ends! |

8. | Misanthropic Invocation | 05:47 | Show lyrics |
Forgotten, the poisoned words of love Tempted by the chalice of dissolution Invoking the spirits of unholy origin A flow of orgasmic fire dwells within me Chaos is my prophecy Never to be lost again in this soulconsuming dimensions Venomous emotions of love faded away The enigma of death I’ve solved For my salvation is your damnation Can you see my shadow in the flickering candlelight? A shadow that offers you insight into Uziel’s visions Can you feel the presence of woeful souls in this moonlight night? Somnabulists amongst a deceptive race I’ve seen the truth Desecration was the key that opened my eyes I am your inner tyrant Endless scorn is my revenge Chaos, my prophecy - Asphyx is thy forseen fall Asphyx is me |

1. | Crimson Tears | 06:44 | Show lyrics |
Mournful shadows rise, dusk spreads her wings - the tombworld longs for me I kiss the withered rose I still hold the flame that dies I drink the wine of bitterness for the last nocturnal caress Night falls again - I feel the pouring rain Melancholy - soon I will leave this void called life Solitude - as I fell the blade of my knife Death - I adore thy precious art I open my veins a last tear freezes my skin The dark sorrounds me within a veil to oblivion I entrust my spirit into death’s merciless arms And another void awaits me Utopia is lost |

2. | Tales from Eternal Dusk | 08:35 | Show lyrics |
As darkness falls for the last time I awake from my apparently infinite sleep A silver fullmoon glows on this winternight Waning into oblivion ... and I follow the northern storms that bring dusk upon the icy landscapes ... and the storms lead me to majestic forrests lakes and mountains I’ve never seen before Melancholy within seems eternal As I walk through the undergrowth Of these endless woods But then I see her sleeping under the dark trees - my beloved nocturnal queen And the children of the night watch over her Like the moon watches over the night As I get closer to her she awakens From her majestic sleep As she embraces me again I feel her magical attraction Together we walk the path of salvation And together with the wolves She sings her sweet serenades And with these, her majestic serenades She reaches for my black, bleeding heart Which only beats for her She kisses me with her lips of fire And this kiss covers my heart With a dismal shade of sadness And her hair of gold, waving in the wind Seems to me like the starcovered horizon Her sweet art is the key to my solitary heart And together we open the gate to infinity Into the duskimpregnated land of dreams, where our spirits shall rest eternally I look into her eyes, knowing that this moment won’t last eternally ... and the sun never rises, for she is the forgotten flame engulfing my heart ... and in the black wind her shadow fades away into the melancholy of the night And again my heart is touched by an endless solitary darkness |

3. | Moments of Mournful Splendour (At the Portal to Infinity) | 03:03 | Show lyrics |
Tempting symphonies reach me From out of the distant dark Awaking from their slumber Shadows are dancing by my side While the moonchild reflects her portrait in the sky And whispering echoes are engulfed In the obscurity of night - I welcome thee, moment of mournful splendour As the moon caresses the waveless sea And the wind sings its bitter sweet melody, My soul leaves its carnal prison To melt once again with the desolation of the night - I yearn for thee, moment of mournful splendour |

2. | Defiance of Death | 08:36 | Show lyrics |
Twenty Norsemen ahorse, clad in furs and gloomy armour tread the roads of mist Among the ancient mountains, passage to beyond the realms of man Passing crypts of kings and wizards, of priests and noble leaders A valley filled with fog, travel without light The gate was magnificent, like sculptured of ice, shimmering through the misty veil With a blue light of unearthly origin Beyond was another valley, surrounded by an unconquerable wall of mountains It was of purest, gleaming white except for the sky Which was black and starless And a pale looming fullmoon hung in the midnightly scene Below’s a frozen river, and trees like giant, misshapen skeletons And the black stone monument on a crystal hill, Bathed in the moonlight like a pock wound on porcelain skin Onward, ever onward... With swords drawn the Norsemen stormed into the castle’s hall Spirits of the damned, cursed to drift forever Hellish shapes of stone, wicked claws and fangs Tearing in bloodlust the flesh from the bones The Norsemen were falling like flies But only the strongest, the greatest of all could climb the highest spire (Atop the highest spire) Atop the highest spire, stare into the night See the constellions black on blackest night The burning wheels and machinations, that keep the world on turning And the chaos deep within Feel rage and madness, boiling hatred and the will to survive Sight becomes a tunnel, a vortex of unshining stars And what remains is silence... |
|||
3. | Passage to Extinction | 09:11 | Show lyrics |
Burning, I’m burning. Flames are dancing around me The sky is red and white. But strangely so I feel no heat And then I realize I have died There is no flesh to be seared. In this realm of fire In unmeasurable pillars of flames towers of charred and blackened bone On the horizon a great beast is flying a dragon with seven heads In a realm of fire - The beast is coming closer - In a realm of fire Like a choir I hear the screams of the endlessly tortured souls A cruel hymn to the nightmare that is coming As if their only reason for existence was to praise this wicked terror And with eyes aflame the dragon touched the fiery ground With the instinct of years of battle I reached for my blade, but it wasn’t there After all only my spirit had entered into this realm of fire (The speech of the Whore) "Welcome to where spirits burn, this place has uncounted names. Hell or Hades, Nifelheim, this is the abyss eternal. I am as old as the race of man. I have seduced the first king and became the first queen. I have charmed emperors and lords throughout all times I am what a thousand hearts adore The seven-headed whore You, my sweet mortal are to be my chosen one I will send you sailing on oceans of time and fate Where the worlds collide you will ride And your first gift shall be immortality I am what a thousand hearts adore The seven-headed whore Return to earth now, your flesh has regrown And your heart has now been shaped into a heart of stone..." (The vortex of stars in the black night That brought me here again surrounds my spirit and I feel like I am falling...) |

4. | In Morte Aeternitas | 09:04 | Show lyrics |
What is this now, I am back on the highest spire but where are my comrades? Where are their corpses? I want to burn them in my people’s way There is no slain flesh, no bloodstains, not a trace of them to be found (A voice from the darkest corner of the shadowy castle hall) It has become eternal stone What once was flesh and bone To guard this fortress dark With a stone cold heart Atop the towers highest peaks Part of the wall the carved beasts Forever silent untiring guards Lurking with their stone cold hearts Resurrection – I have returned from the fire Resurrection – but I have been changed So much faster, so much stronger, what mortal man shall stand against me So much keener, so much sharper, my vision reveals the unseen to me So much harder, so much colder, my heart has become as the gargoyles around me Resurrection – Once I was dead Resurrection – No more tears I have returned!!! (Deep within the bleak walls of the dark fortress I have found a room of mirrors, upon their shimmering surfaces was displayed A scene from a strange and foreign land...) |

5. | Moribound Be Thy Creation | 06:19 | Show lyrics |
A hill outside a town in a dry and dusty land Crowned by twenty crosses or more Soldiers in a kind of armour that I had never seen With short and shimmering swords And a crowd had gathered at the foot of one cross Gathered to watch the spectacle I’ve watched your saviour die and he wasn’t resurrected All your faith has been a lie – Jesus cried... Jesus cried The poor little worm, strapped onto a tree Begging for his life and screaming to be free Cried bloody tears and he wet his pants I could only laugh as this strange god ends And with my last laugh I am carried away There was no reason for me to stay For this god was a fake like most of them are The only lord is the master of war (Across the oceans of time I returned to the castle only to be carried away again, To some other place, to some other time...) |

6. | Through Ages of War | 06:05 | Show lyrics |
Black void Nothing seen, emptiness reigns Where worlds collide Across the oceans of time I sail Across the oceans of time The tides of fate have carried me to battles of past and future I have fought in every war Claimed heads and blades as bounty from the warlords I’ve killed I have fought in every war The barbarian lord in the eastern plains – Attila was his name I pried his axe from his cold and stiff fingers To be my weapon of choice forevermore Dschingis Khan, Alexander the Great, King Richard of England All of them dead – killed by my hand Across the oceans of time I sail Across the oceans of time In the heart of every bloodbath I have slaughtered and destroyed Cleaving open wounds so deep, tearing flesh off bones Splitting skills and taking fame (1099, the taking of Jerusalem) |

7. | Blood of the Templars | 07:20 | Show lyrics |
It was in 1099 in the eastern land, where that fool was crucified Jerusalem fell In midst of the ravaging, raping and pillaging I presented to one of the crusaders a gift from my lady so cruel The cup of blood, "The Holy Grail" – such blasphemy And they poured it down with passion, the blood of power of no holy origin, the blood of the whore The blood of the templars lives on Forevermore The blood of the templars will never die Far beyond religious superstition, true magic was their craft Spells this earth had never seen were cast in secret halls Ageless men, three hundred years, until Jacques de Molay was burned He cast a final spell, sending pope and king to hell But that wasn’t the end, for still they reign in silence The forces of fire have granted immortality to the last seven knights Seven lovers for a seven-headed whore... The blood is eternal, the blood is black... The blood of the templars lives on Forevermore The blood...blood of the templars (All my journeys through time, back and forth, had forged me into the Warlord) |

8. | Warlord (Face the Angel of Pestilence) | 05:02 | Show lyrics |
I was born in the heat of battle With a weapon in my cradle I first spilled blood at the age of seven I killed my first enemy then at eleven Riding on the tides of war into a dark millenium High the axe that I have won from the hands of Attila Bloodstained I have always been, but no remorse I’ve known In conflict after conflict I piled skull upon skull The fools that stood against me all paid the price in blood And a heavy toll I’ve ever taken From the fires of the past rises the warlord Through the blood and destruction comes the warlord Upon the wings of hate and terror rides the warlord I know not of mercy and sorrow, so all fear the warlord Set alight unnumbered cities, pillaged countless homes Raped mothers and daughters alike before each other’s eyes I have slain many a weak hearted king and ended their short lived reigns The hammer of fate and the anvil of war have forged me to a master of battle From the fires of the past rises the warlord Through the blood and destruction comes the warlord Upon the wings of hate and terror rides the warlord I know not of mercy and sorrow, so all fear the warlord Immortal years of violence, hate will never die In my wake are left legions of the dead Oh, how all these victims died For no one ever survived My trail of corpses is far too long for any man to see In the middle of a bloodbath, that is where I want to be I am the warlord – I am the hate I am the butcher – cruel son of fate I slaughtered millions – I claimed my right I am the warlord – the immortal might Power and glory, bloodlust and rage Dominion and hatred, thunder and storm From the primeval forces of the earth I have been I am the warlord and I have no equal!!! (She spoke to me again, called me into her realm, so I shall ascend the stairs of fate and pass the gate of the slain...) |

9. | Battles Rage in the Infernal Depth | 06:49 | Show lyrics |
Upon a hilltop, surrounded by flame In my fist clenched a blade from blackened crystal Grown before me the endless fields of carnage And behind me the whore on her throne It has begun... Battles rage in the infernal depth – the war of domination Seven lords and ladies, sovereigns of the demon thrones. All made with power lust Armies of fire and brimstone, the wailing dead and their kin Legions of bloodthirsty demons, above on leathery wings Howls of the cursed and battle cries of those who’ve been fallen in battle before Are the signs of attack on this night Through the blackness and the screams, into the fray I charge Claiming head after head, piles of the dead behind me Battles rage in the infernal depth (Betrayal and treachery) Voice of the whore: "Give back to me, all your power, all your sweet, sweet power As I once gave you life, now I sentence you to die What was yours is now mine again, And I leave you powerless..." I am a warrior, I’ve always been. Mighty and proud, destined to win In my hand I hold a weapon, a blade of crystal black With blood in my eyes I rush to attack In the heat of battle, I’m in her back, with one fell stab And then I’m drinking her blood. Drowning in her blood Battles rage in the infernal depth – the war of domination (This power is burning within me, all turns black before my eyes And I can hear it as the mirror shatters and the gates are closed...) |

2. | Defiance of Death | 08:36 | Show lyrics |
Twenty Norsemen ahorse, clad in furs and gloomy armour tread the roads of mist Among the ancient mountains, passage to beyond the realms of man Passing crypts of kings and wizards, of priests and noble leaders A valley filled with fog, travel without light The gate was magnificent, like sculptured of ice, shimmering through the misty veil With a blue light of unearthly origin Beyond was another valley, surrounded by an unconquerable wall of mountains It was of purest, gleaming white except for the sky Which was black and starless And a pale looming fullmoon hung in the midnightly scene Below’s a frozen river, and trees like giant, misshapen skeletons And the black stone monument on a crystal hill, Bathed in the moonlight like a pock wound on porcelain skin Onward, ever onward... With swords drawn the Norsemen stormed into the castle’s hall Spirits of the damned, cursed to drift forever Hellish shapes of stone, wicked claws and fangs Tearing in bloodlust the flesh from the bones The Norsemen were falling like flies But only the strongest, the greatest of all could climb the highest spire (Atop the highest spire) Atop the highest spire, stare into the night See the constellions black on blackest night The burning wheels and machinations, that keep the world on turning And the chaos deep within Feel rage and madness, boiling hatred and the will to survive Sight becomes a tunnel, a vortex of unshining stars And what remains is silence... |

3. | Passage to Extinction | 09:11 | Show lyrics |
Burning, I’m burning. Flames are dancing around me The sky is red and white. But strangely so I feel no heat And then I realize I have died There is no flesh to be seared. In this realm of fire In unmeasurable pillars of flames towers of charred and blackened bone On the horizon a great beast is flying a dragon with seven heads In a realm of fire - The beast is coming closer - In a realm of fire Like a choir I hear the screams of the endlessly tortured souls A cruel hymn to the nightmare that is coming As if their only reason for existence was to praise this wicked terror And with eyes aflame the dragon touched the fiery ground With the instinct of years of battle I reached for my blade, but it wasn’t there After all only my spirit had entered into this realm of fire (The speech of the Whore) "Welcome to where spirits burn, this place has uncounted names. Hell or Hades, Nifelheim, this is the abyss eternal. I am as old as the race of man. I have seduced the first king and became the first queen. I have charmed emperors and lords throughout all times I am what a thousand hearts adore The seven-headed whore You, my sweet mortal are to be my chosen one I will send you sailing on oceans of time and fate Where the worlds collide you will ride And your first gift shall be immortality I am what a thousand hearts adore The seven-headed whore Return to earth now, your flesh has regrown And your heart has now been shaped into a heart of stone..." (The vortex of stars in the black night That brought me here again surrounds my spirit and I feel like I am falling...) |

4. | In Morte Aeternitas | 09:04 | Show lyrics |
What is this now, I am back on the highest spire but where are my comrades? Where are their corpses? I want to burn them in my people’s way There is no slain flesh, no bloodstains, not a trace of them to be found (A voice from the darkest corner of the shadowy castle hall) It has become eternal stone What once was flesh and bone To guard this fortress dark With a stone cold heart Atop the towers highest peaks Part of the wall the carved beasts Forever silent untiring guards Lurking with their stone cold hearts Resurrection – I have returned from the fire Resurrection – but I have been changed So much faster, so much stronger, what mortal man shall stand against me So much keener, so much sharper, my vision reveals the unseen to me So much harder, so much colder, my heart has become as the gargoyles around me Resurrection – Once I was dead Resurrection – No more tears I have returned!!! (Deep within the bleak walls of the dark fortress I have found a room of mirrors, upon their shimmering surfaces was displayed A scene from a strange and foreign land...) |

5. | Moribound Be Thy Creation | 06:19 | Show lyrics |
A hill outside a town in a dry and dusty land Crowned by twenty crosses or more Soldiers in a kind of armour that I had never seen With short and shimmering swords And a crowd had gathered at the foot of one cross Gathered to watch the spectacle I’ve watched your saviour die and he wasn’t resurrected All your faith has been a lie – Jesus cried... Jesus cried The poor little worm, strapped onto a tree Begging for his life and screaming to be free Cried bloody tears and he wet his pants I could only laugh as this strange god ends And with my last laugh I am carried away There was no reason for me to stay For this god was a fake like most of them are The only lord is the master of war (Across the oceans of time I returned to the castle only to be carried away again, To some other place, to some other time...) |

6. | Through Ages of War | 06:05 | Show lyrics |
Black void Nothing seen, emptiness reigns Where worlds collide Across the oceans of time I sail Across the oceans of time The tides of fate have carried me to battles of past and future I have fought in every war Claimed heads and blades as bounty from the warlords I’ve killed I have fought in every war The barbarian lord in the eastern plains – Attila was his name I pried his axe from his cold and stiff fingers To be my weapon of choice forevermore Dschingis Khan, Alexander the Great, King Richard of England All of them dead – killed by my hand Across the oceans of time I sail Across the oceans of time In the heart of every bloodbath I have slaughtered and destroyed Cleaving open wounds so deep, tearing flesh off bones Splitting skills and taking fame (1099, the taking of Jerusalem) |

7. | Blood of the Templars | 07:20 | Show lyrics |
It was in 1099 in the eastern land, where that fool was crucified Jerusalem fell In midst of the ravaging, raping and pillaging I presented to one of the crusaders a gift from my lady so cruel The cup of blood, "The Holy Grail" – such blasphemy And they poured it down with passion, the blood of power of no holy origin, the blood of the whore The blood of the templars lives on Forevermore The blood of the templars will never die Far beyond religious superstition, true magic was their craft Spells this earth had never seen were cast in secret halls Ageless men, three hundred years, until Jacques de Molay was burned He cast a final spell, sending pope and king to hell But that wasn’t the end, for still they reign in silence The forces of fire have granted immortality to the last seven knights Seven lovers for a seven-headed whore... The blood is eternal, the blood is black... The blood of the templars lives on Forevermore The blood...blood of the templars (All my journeys through time, back and forth, had forged me into the Warlord) |

8. | Warlord (Face the Angel of Pestilence) | 05:02 | Show lyrics |
I was born in the heat of battle With a weapon in my cradle I first spilled blood at the age of seven I killed my first enemy then at eleven Riding on the tides of war into a dark millenium High the axe that I have won from the hands of Attila Bloodstained I have always been, but no remorse I’ve known In conflict after conflict I piled skull upon skull The fools that stood against me all paid the price in blood And a heavy toll I’ve ever taken From the fires of the past rises the warlord Through the blood and destruction comes the warlord Upon the wings of hate and terror rides the warlord I know not of mercy and sorrow, so all fear the warlord Set alight unnumbered cities, pillaged countless homes Raped mothers and daughters alike before each other’s eyes I have slain many a weak hearted king and ended their short lived reigns The hammer of fate and the anvil of war have forged me to a master of battle From the fires of the past rises the warlord Through the blood and destruction comes the warlord Upon the wings of hate and terror rides the warlord I know not of mercy and sorrow, so all fear the warlord Immortal years of violence, hate will never die In my wake are left legions of the dead Oh, how all these victims died For no one ever survived My trail of corpses is far too long for any man to see In the middle of a bloodbath, that is where I want to be I am the warlord – I am the hate I am the butcher – cruel son of fate I slaughtered millions – I claimed my right I am the warlord – the immortal might Power and glory, bloodlust and rage Dominion and hatred, thunder and storm From the primeval forces of the earth I have been I am the warlord and I have no equal!!! (She spoke to me again, called me into her realm, so I shall ascend the stairs of fate and pass the gate of the slain...) |

9. | Battles Rage in the Infernal Depth | 06:49 | Show lyrics |
Upon a hilltop, surrounded by flame In my fist clenched a blade from blackened crystal Grown before me the endless fields of carnage And behind me the whore on her throne It has begun... Battles rage in the infernal depth – the war of domination Seven lords and ladies, sovereigns of the demon thrones. All made with power lust Armies of fire and brimstone, the wailing dead and their kin Legions of bloodthirsty demons, above on leathery wings Howls of the cursed and battle cries of those who’ve been fallen in battle before Are the signs of attack on this night Through the blackness and the screams, into the fray I charge Claiming head after head, piles of the dead behind me Battles rage in the infernal depth (Betrayal and treachery) Voice of the whore: "Give back to me, all your power, all your sweet, sweet power As I once gave you life, now I sentence you to die What was yours is now mine again, And I leave you powerless..." I am a warrior, I’ve always been. Mighty and proud, destined to win In my hand I hold a weapon, a blade of crystal black With blood in my eyes I rush to attack In the heat of battle, I’m in her back, with one fell stab And then I’m drinking her blood. Drowning in her blood Battles rage in the infernal depth – the war of domination (This power is burning within me, all turns black before my eyes And I can hear it as the mirror shatters and the gates are closed...) |

10. | A Fortress Dark | 08:16 | Show lyrics |
It has become eternal stone What once was flesh and bone To guard this fortress dark With a stone cold heart Atop the towers highest peaks Part of the wall the carved beasts Forever silent untiring guards Lurking with their stone cold hearts Years and years creep by in this silent eternity, Endless halls and passages walked by the dead alone And in the heat heart of the darkness I sit in silent communion with the beast cast in stone Silence falls, eternal night, a fortress dark in the pale moonlight And the banshees howl of my unkind fate It has become eternal stone What once was flesh and bone To guard this fortress dark With a stone cold heart Atop the towers highest peaks Part of the wall the carved beasts Forever silent untiring guards Lurking with their stone cold hearts In a fortress dark Legend of the dark fortress Beware if you tread the paths of the other side |

All made with power lust Armies of fire and brimstone, the wailing dead and their kin Legions of bloodthirsty demons, above on leathery wings Howls of the cursed and battle cries of those who’ve been fallen in battle before Are the signs of attack on this night Through the blackness and the screams, into the fray I charge Claiming head after head, piles of the dead behind me Battles rage in the infernal depth (Betrayal and treachery) Voice of the whore: "Give back to me, all your power, all your sweet, sweet power As I once gave you life, now I sentence you to die What was yours is now mine again, And I leave you powerless..." I am a warrior, I’ve always been. Mighty and proud, destined to win In my hand I hold a weapon, a blade of crystal black With blood in my eyes I rush to attack In the heat of battle, I’m in her back, with one fell stab And then I’m drinking her blood. Drowning in her blood Battles rage in the infernal depth – the war of domination (This power is burning within me, all turns black before my eyes And I can hear it as the mirror shatters and the gates are closed...) |

It has become eternal stone What once was flesh and bone To guard this fortress dark With a stone cold heart Atop the towers highest peaks Part of the wall the carved beasts Forever silent untiring guards Lurking with their stone cold hearts Years and years creep by in this silent eternity, Endless halls and passages walked by the dead alone And in the heat heart of the darkness I sit in silent communion with the beast cast in stone Silence falls, eternal night, a fortress dark in the pale moonlight And the banshees howl of my unkind fate It has become eternal stone What once was flesh and bone To guard this fortress dark With a stone cold heart Atop the towers highest peaks Part of the wall the carved beasts Forever silent untiring guards Lurking with their stone cold hearts In a fortress dark Legend of the dark fortress Beware if you tread the paths of the other side |

11. | I Am the Black Wizards (Emperor cover) | 06:04 | Show lyrics |
I am the spirit of their existence Mightiest am I, but I am not alone in this cosmos of mine For the black hills consists of black souls, souls that already died one Thousand deaths Behind the stone walls of centuries they breed their Black art Boiling their spells in cauldrons of black gold Far up in the mountains, where the rain fall not far, yet the sun cannot reach The wizards, my servants, summon the souls of macrocosm No age will escape my wrath I travel through time and I return to the future I gather wisdom now lost I visit again the eternally ancient caves Before a mighty Emperor thereupon came Watching the mortals "discovering" my chronicles Guarded by the old demons, even unknown To me Once destroyed their souls are being summoned to my timeless prison of hate It is delightful to feast upon the screaming souls That was destroyed in my future How many wizards that serve me with evil I know not My empires has no limits From the never ending Mountains black, to the bottomless lakes I am the ruler and has been for eternity’s long My wizards are many, but their essence is Mine Forever there are in the hills in their stone homes of Grief Because I am the spirit of their existence I am them. |

The silent years of helpless crying The bridge of hate travels in my mind Beyond all the doors of gruesome hunger I hear the threnodes, I behold Eye of the greyhound The eye of the greyhound The dreaming moon so bloodlike The feeding of the never ending night End of time The eye of my mind So much pain and so much losts Helpless words cries in the air Eye of the greyhound The eye of the greyhound The eyes inside of me Please take them away, away |

Twenty Norsemen ahorse, clad in furs and gloomy armour tread the roads of mist Among the ancient mountains, passage to beyond the realms of man Passing crypts of kings and wizards, of priests and noble leaders A valley filled with fog, travel without light The gate was magnificent, like sculptured of ice, shimmering through the misty veil With a blue light of unearthly origin Beyond was another valley, surrounded by an unconquerable wall of mountains It was of purest, gleaming white except for the sky Which was black and starless And a pale looming fullmoon hung in the midnightly scene Below’s a frozen river, and trees like giant, misshapen skeletons And the black stone monument on a crystal hill, Bathed in the moonlight like a pock wound on porcelain skin Onward, ever onward... With swords drawn the Norsemen stormed into the castle’s hall Spirits of the damned, cursed to drift forever Hellish shapes of stone, wicked claws and fangs Tearing in bloodlust the flesh from the bones The Norsemen were falling like flies But only the strongest, the greatest of all could climb the highest spire (Atop the highest spire) Atop the highest spire, stare into the night See the constellions black on blackest night The burning wheels and machinations, that keep the world on turning And the chaos deep within Feel rage and madness, boiling hatred and the will to survive Sight becomes a tunnel, a vortex of unshining stars And what remains is silence... |

3. | Passage to Extinction | 09:11 | Show lyrics |
Burning, I’m burning. Flames are dancing around me The sky is red and white. But strangely so I feel no heat And then I realize I have died There is no flesh to be seared. In this realm of fire In unmeasurable pillars of flames towers of charred and blackened bone On the horizon a great beast is flying a dragon with seven heads In a realm of fire - The beast is coming closer - In a realm of fire Like a choir I hear the screams of the endlessly tortured souls A cruel hymn to the nightmare that is coming As if their only reason for existence was to praise this wicked terror And with eyes aflame the dragon touched the fiery ground With the instinct of years of battle I reached for my blade, but it wasn’t there After all only my spirit had entered into this realm of fire (The speech of the Whore) "Welcome to where spirits burn, this place has uncounted names. Hell or Hades, Nifelheim, this is the abyss eternal. I am as old as the race of man. I have seduced the first king and became the first queen. I have charmed emperors and lords throughout all times I am what a thousand hearts adore The seven-headed whore You, my sweet mortal are to be my chosen one I will send you sailing on oceans of time and fate Where the worlds collide you will ride And your first gift shall be immortality I am what a thousand hearts adore The seven-headed whore Return to earth now, your flesh has regrown And your heart has now been shaped into a heart of stone..."

A hill outside a town in a dry and dusty land Crowned by twenty crosses or more Soldiers in a kind of armour that I had never seen With short and shimmering swords And a crowd had gathered at the foot of one cross Gathered to watch the spectacle I’ve watched your saviour die and he wasn’t resurrected All your faith has been a lie – Jesus cried... Jesus cried The poor little worm, strapped onto a tree Begging for his life and screaming to be free Cried bloody tears and he wet his pants I could only laugh as this strange god ends And with my last laugh I am carried away There was no reason for me to stay For this god was a fake like most of them are The only lord is the master of war (Across the oceans of time I returned to the castle only to be carried away again, To some other place, to some other time...) |

Can’t stand the thought to exist within a lie Katharsis unleashed, hear my call This is the point of no return Can’t wait for the day Armageddon rapes humanity Nemesis unleashed, nations will pray in vain I have seen the face of death This is the end supreme I abdicate god And his creation I abdicate "life" And mankind’s false illusions Pitch black deserts await my pain, so odious mundane A perversion called "life" lead my astray let me awake from this never ending faint Bury me insanity! All this can’t be real Bury me despondency! There are just too many wounds to heal Within the storm of a thousand fears You will see the face of disdain Within the hour of a thousand tears You will hear my name again Dead Race Walking! |

2. | Self-Mutilation | 06:45 | Show lyrics |
"Welcome to my world, I know, You won’t see, what I see, feel what I feel" Guided by sin, obsessed by anguish Again and again Doomed to suffer, a slave of disdain "Bleed for me, and I’ll lead you To a higher ectasy Bleed for me, and I’ll lead you To a deep kind of agony" Only pain... As the blade feeds my weary flesh again Only hate... As the blade seals my contaminated fate Tempted by emotions So far away from what you call "life" Unchained wolves Swallow my soul Despair is the source of all life Self-Destruction the only way I choose death to live! And when Utopia crumbles Morbid souls move on ...my journey has just begun... |

Nightmare, oh precious nightmare, Be my guest, my only friend In times of despair Whilst "life" passes by, Life that never were Time heals wounds, But I cannot forget Time heals wounds, But I cannot forgive The gallows call for you, The gallows call for me, Can’t you see the end is near? Nightmare, oh glorious nightmare Tell me within my dreams undreamt If this is the life they all speak of? "Unicus impulsus Animi mei est Mortem obire Mihi mortem conscisco At tamen tum Demum vivetum" Infamous hope, Monolith of a dying race I caluminate humanity With delight Pestilence, come forth to judge Come forth and erase this final remembrance |

Still, I gaze upon to the death-drowned skies, Where all my buried visions lie, Still, the pulse of "life" tears me apart, Like a burning dagger within my heart Smothering, suffering, My face in the mirror Just another carved monument of transience Like a grey illusion in a midnigth’s dream Longing for the final coronation The day of this sickness’ cremation A weary soul, pierced by the wounds of "life" Depressing emptiness, Loss of perception Misery, come and bless my soul once more Forgotten, the time, when I was free Forsaken, the place, where I wish to be Just one picture marked in my mind, Death take my hand, Take me to the ruins of my destination! Rest in oblivion my persihed soul, In places so drab, in timeless spheres, Never to be called again Life is all in vain, for only ashes will remain |

9. | Like a Somnambulist in Daylight’s Fire | 07:52 | Show lyrics |
Don’t ask, why darkness never ends I believe some things were never meant to be I am Death’s devoted instrument Abysmal dirges guide my way to the graveyard ground Disharmonic choirs from out of the morgue scream I am Death’s devoted instrument Alcohol within my veins, mesmerized my senses Addicted to the other side I feel the subconscious need To leave this human entity My soul was sentenced far too long, To perish in a lifeless shell, To search for answers in this living hell It doesn’t take a lifetime to feel alone It just takes a look at you...yet it’s too late... ...it’s time to end it here... Suicide, the only solution My senses drift away Through a bleak vortex of supplanted memories Fragments of "life" passing by Through sorrow, tears and silent cries Death, is it you my faithful friend? (Could it be, that I’ve already seen the end?) We are just fading moments Of a specious fate May I be one with decadence I’ve pulled the trigger far too late! |

Can’t stand the thought to exist within a lie Katharsis unleashed, hear my call This is the point of no return Can’t wait for the day Armageddon rapes humanity Nemesis unleashed, nations will pray in vain I have seen the face of death This is the end supreme I abdicate god And his creation I abdicate "life" And mankind’s false illusions Pitch black deserts await my pain, so odious mundane A perversion called "life" lead my astray let me awake from this never ending faint Bury me insanity!

"Welcome to my world, I know, You won’t see, what I see, feel what I feel" Guided by sin, obsessed by anguish Again and again Doomed to suffer, a slave of disdain "Bleed for me, and I’ll lead you To a higher ectasy Bleed for me, and I’ll lead you To a deep kind of agony" Only pain... As the blade feeds my weary flesh again Only hate... As the blade seals my contaminated fate Tempted by emotions So far away from what you call "life" Unchained wolves Swallow my soul Despair is the source of all life Self-Destruction the only way I choose death to live! And when Utopia crumbles Morbid souls move on ...my journey has just begun... |

Nightmare, oh glorious nightmare Tell me within my dreams undreamt If this is the life they all speak of?

5. | I Am the Black Wizards (Emperor cover) | 06:04 | Show lyrics |
Mightiest am I, But I am not alone in this cosmos of mine. For the black hills consists of black souls, Souls that already dies one thousand deaths. Behind the stone walls (of centuries) they breed their black art. Boiling their spells in cauldrons of black gold. Far up in the mountains, Where the rain fall not far, Yet the Sun cannot reach. The wizards, my servants, Summon the souls of macrocosm. No age will escape my wrath. I travel through time and I return to the future. I gather wisdom now lost. I visit again the eternally ancient caves, Before a mighty Emperor thereupon came. Watching the mortals "discovering" my chronicles, guarded By the old demons, even unknown to me. Once destroyed their souls are being summoned To my timeless prison of hate. It is delightful to feast upon the screaming souls That were destroyed in my future. How many wizards that serve me with evil, I know not. My empires has no limits. From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes. I am the ruler and has been for eternities long. I am them. (I am them.) (I am them.) From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes. I am the ruler and has been for eternities long. My wizards are many, but their essence is mine. Forever they are in the hills in their stone homes of grief. Because I am the spirit of their existence. I am them. I am them. I am them. |

Still, I gaze upon to the death-drowned skies, Where all my buried visions lie, Still, the pulse of "life" tears me apart, Like a burning dagger within my heart Smothering, suffering, My face in the mirror Just another carved monument of transience Like a grey illusion in a midnigth’s dream Longing for the final coronation The day of this sickness’ cremation A weary soul, pierced by the wounds of "life" Depressing emptiness, Loss of perception Misery, come and bless my soul once more Forgotten, the time, when I was free Forsaken, the place, where I wish to be Just one picture marked in my mind, Death take my hand, Take me to the ruins of my destination! Rest in oblivion my persihed soul, In places so drab, in timeless spheres, Never to be called again Life is all in vain, for only ashes will remain |

9. | Like a Somnambulist in Daylight’s Fire | 07:52 | Show lyrics |
Don’t ask, why darkness never ends I believe some things were never meant to be I am Death’s devoted instrument Abysmal dirges guide my way to the graveyard ground Disharmonic choirs from out of the morgue scream I am Death’s devoted instrument Alcohol within my veins, mesmerized my senses Addicted to the other side I feel the subconscious need To leave this human entity My soul was sentenced far too long, To perish in a lifeless shell, To search for answers in this living hell It doesn’t take a lifetime to feel alone It just takes a look at you...yet it’s too late... ...it’s time to end it here... Suicide, the only solution My senses drift away Through a bleak vortex of supplanted memories Fragments of "life" passing by Through sorrow, tears and silent cries Death, is it you my faithful friend? (Could it be, that I’ve already seen the end?) We are just fading moments Of a specious fate May I be one with decadence I’ve pulled the trigger far too late! |

10. | Sleep! | 03:16 | Show lyrics |
Why shall I endure something, that never belonged to me? How shall I endure something, that makes me suffer day by day? It’s all so senseless, it’s all so meaningless...emotionless! Can you heal the wounds, emptiness? |

11. | Endtime (Katatonia cover) | 08:22 | Show lyrics |
Now fall into a vacant sphere Pierced by the darkness They called it death And surrounded me with sleep They lost the Earth in fire Waved it into a sea This is not what you saw The Earth in fire Now fall into a vacant sphere Pierced by the darkness They called it death And surrounded me with sleep |

1. | Ghastly Indoctrination | 07:39 | Show lyrics |
In mysterious ways, your soul sinks down, as eerie constellations, told of it before. This time you cannot hide! A maelstrom of inhuman fears, and the only way goes down... Gone are days of phantasmagoria, welcome to the necromantic gallery. Where nightmares become so real, and souls are stigmatized, with the sign of impurity. Desolation all around, welcome to the promised land. Where no single beam of light, ever touched the ground. Life eternal, in a traumatic fade. Believe me, this is not a dream. These dead eyes, you are gazing at are yours! Call it Heaven, call it Hell! This is where, the restless dwell... Misshapen silhouettes so awake, black faces and only shades of grey. Distorted incantations, and prayers for aeons unheard, in wastelands of delusion. |

2. | CataWomb | 06:41 | Show lyrics |
To the ruins of Utopia, once again. Subteranean elegy, anthems from beyond the grave. The elements in change, everything is lost. Bound onto the Aevum, the empty space my host. Bemoan the loss of life, but the end just stays the same. For this pathetic path I walk, awaits you all one single day. The aftermath of death, the loss of body and soul. Life, the epitome of affliction. Nihil Ex Nihilo! Life without end? Postmortem empiricism, the only thing that remains. Life is pain! But death betrayed me, just the same. Life is pain! But death betrayed me, just the same. Postmortem empiricism, the only thing that remains. A life in pain, but death led me astray. 13 candles on my grave, but the memory is gone. 13 candles flickering, in the distance. The emptiness melts with my soul! Death is just a different path, but the pictures stay the same. To the ruins of Utopia, once again. Subteranean elegy, anthems from beyond the grave. The elements in change, everything is lost. Bound onto the Aevum, the empty space my host. |

De profundis clamavi ad te domine. Domine ex ordi vocem meam. Tianc auris ture e intendentis. In vocem deprecationes meae. Requiem aeternam dona eis domine. Et lux perpetua luceat deis. Requiescant in pace. Grotesque visions of paradise, death bells chime for my soul’s demise. Sharing eternity with the parasites, all alone with my cries. Alone... Sharing eternity, with the parasites. Embedded in silk my corpse, enshrouded in silence my soul. Is this your God’s paradise? Thought death may heal the wounds, but nothing can ease the pain. As I linger in my casket, dreaming of death’s domain. |

4. | While They Sleep | 07:11 | Show lyrics |
Life: capitulation. Death: salvation. Welcome to the nightmare 24/7. Numb reflections, of a dying mind. The will to exist, long before declined. Thus I’ve left, this mass grave earth behind. When everything seems so trivial, I take a look at you. Children of scorn, when souls search for their haven. Your dreams become the portal! Beyond the corridors of thoughts, I languish downcast, somehow dying, laughing. Beyond the subconscious realms, of the beyond I linger. Once mourned, now forgotten! Life: capitulation. Death: disconsolation. Sleep, my child! And the dead may follow... Whenever I thought, "there’s a light below!". The night became darker, than ever before. While you sleep, the dead whisper a lullaby. Deeper into the night I go, suicide was the key. For sure this must be, the way to Hell. While they sleep, I whisper a lullaby. Suicide was the key! For sure this must be, the way to Hell. |

5. | To Harvest the Artefacts of Mockery | 04:11 | Show lyrics |
The innocent skies torn asunder, again the clock strikes 12. Open the channel to your mind, I am the voice of egoism. The icon of arrogance! It’s the Devil inside of me, a celestial apostasy. I am the one fallen from grace, now unleash sadistic retribution. Reminiscence of chaos now revealed, a spiritual vacuum can’t be broken. Angstridden souls can be dejected, until there’s nothing left of it. It’s the Devil inside of me! Every night, a part of you is dying. Paranormal obsession, this is the art of taking lives. Every night, your soul is crying. Paranormal oppression, this it the way of sardonic tyranny. It’s the Devil inside of me, a celestial apostasy. I am the one fallen from grace, now unleash the fucking retribution. Reminiscence of chaos now revealed, a spiritual vacuum can’t be broken. Angstridden souls can be dejected, until there’s nothing left of it. |

6. | Poltergeist | 05:56 | Show lyrics |
I am the phenomenon, I am the light. I am the dark, I am the complex. I am real! Face my shadow on the walls! a phantom of despite, the 4th dimension terror. I am the one, I am the one denied. I am the one, the one denied. I am the one denied! I am the nightmare, knockin’ on your door. Cursed for aeons, Death’s disciple. I am the eerie cold, touchin’ your skin. Cursed for aeons, life’s denial. I am the eerie cold! I am the phenomenon, from beyond. I am the light, leading your through the dark. I am the dark, leading you astray. I am the complex voice, inside your head. Have you ever wondered, why all this has got to be? Have you ever wondered, why you shiver at night? Have you ever wondered, why the invisible makes you afraid? This is when our worlds collide, this is when I crush your soul. This is when souls can’t rest at night, this is insanity incarnated. |

7. | Revolution: Vanity | 05:14 | Show lyrics |
Submissions of the 4th dimension machinery, key to my soul’s tranquility. Archetype of my ascendancy, relinquish evanescent structures of humanity. Shapeless, into a darkened spiral I fade. The ignorance of man, my masquerade. Metamorphosis of a stillborn creation, opened wide my soul for spiritual illumination. I am the secret, isolated in worlds beyond. I am the horror, the art of demand. Flesh, the quintessence of vanity. Spirit, the ultimate evolution of sanity. Flesh, the quintessence of vanity. Spirit, the ultimate evolution of sanity. Metamorphosis, of a stillborn creation, opened wide my soul, for spiritual illumination. I am the secret, isolated in worlds beyond I am the horror, the art of demand. |

9. | Shardfigures | 06:22 | Show lyrics |
All my life I searched for thee, to make me feel complete. But only bitterness spoke to me, in a language I had to learn, throughout the years. All my life, I was wandering through the dark, without any spark of hope. Never knew where I belonged, weary of life and jaded. It was just too late to turn around. All my life I felt alone, no matter where I’ve gone. There’s never a place, for someone else, in the portrait, of a lifeless soul. All my life I searched for death, to make me feel alive. Now as he came for me, I’ve realized that I was, just too blind too see. There’s never a place, for someone else! In death I search again for thee, to erase this painful memory. These words of disconsolation, for they shall be my legacy. |

10. | Insomnia | 06:34 | Show lyrics |
I drown for too long, I felt the winter’s breath. The rain keeps falling, down into my soul. Thorns cover my grave, they hurt within me! I wonder how death, shall be eternal sleep, when I cannot close my eyes. I wonder how death, shall ever set me free. When there’s even in this darkness, no place for us to be. Wish I could kill myself again, the spectral lights would fade away. And I... A thousand voices in my mind, a thousand empty faces starring at me. A thousand lies I can’t forget, and one single life... A thousand lies I can’t forget, and one single life I do regret. The only thing left of me, an aura cold and blue. As the Banshees embrace me, embrace me with a sigh. I do regret! I am gone! The autumn’s song, is guiding me. With the sound, of the weeping rain, I fall asleep. And the thorns, that cover my grave? They hurt no more! I wonder how death, shall be eternal sleep, when I cannot close my eyes. I wonder how death, shall ever set me free. When there’s even in this darkness, no place for us to be. The only thing left of me, an aura cold and blue. As the Banshees embrace me, embrace me with a sigh. |

Wish I could kill myself again, the spectral lights would fade away. And I... A thousand voices in my mind, a thousand empty faces starring at me. A thousand lies I can’t forget, and one single life... A thousand lies I can’t forget, and one single life I do regret. The only thing left of me, an aura cold and blue. As the Banshees embrace me, embrace me with a sigh. I do regret! I am gone! The autumn’s song, is guiding me. With the sound, of the weeping rain, I fall asleep. And the thorns, that cover my grave? They hurt no more! I wonder how death, shall be eternal sleep, when I cannot close my eyes. I wonder how death, shall ever set me free. When there’s even in this darkness, no place for us to be. The only thing left of me, an aura cold and blue. As the Banshees embrace me, embrace me with a sigh. |

1. | Ghastly Indoctrination | 07:39 | Show lyrics |
In mysterious ways, your soul sinks down, as eerie constellations, told of it before. This time you cannot hide! A maelstrom of inhuman fears, and the only way goes down... Gone are days of phantasmagoria, welcome to the necromantic gallery. Where nightmares become so real, and souls are stigmatized, with the sign of impurity. Desolation all around, welcome to the promised land. Where no single beam of light, ever touched the ground. Life eternal, in a traumatic fade. Believe me, this is not a dream. These dead eyes, you are gazing at are yours! Call it Heaven, call it Hell! This is where, the restless dwell... Misshapen silhouettes so awake, black faces and only shades of grey. Distorted incantations, and prayers for aeons unheard, in wastelands of delusion. |

2. | CataWomb | 06:41 | Show lyrics |
To the ruins of Utopia, once again. Subteranean elegy, anthems from beyond the grave. The elements in change, everything is lost. Bound onto the Aevum, the empty space my host. Bemoan the loss of life, but the end just stays the same. For this pathetic path I walk, awaits you all one single day. The aftermath of death, the loss of body and soul. Life, the epitome of affliction. Nihil Ex Nihilo! Life without end? Postmortem empiricism, the only thing that remains. Life is pain! But death betrayed me, just the same. Life is pain! But death betrayed me, just the same. Postmortem empiricism, the only thing that remains. A life in pain, but death led me astray. 13 candles on my grave, but the memory is gone. 13 candles flickering, in the distance. The emptiness melts with my soul! Death is just a different path, but the pictures stay the same. To the ruins of Utopia, once again. Subteranean elegy, anthems from beyond the grave. The elements in change, everything is lost. Bound onto the Aevum, the empty space my host. |

3. | Requiem Grotesque | 06:50 | Show lyrics |
De profundis clamavi ad te domine. Domine ex ordi vocem meam. Tianc auris ture e intendentis. In vocem deprecationes meae. Requiem aeternam dona eis domine. Et lux perpetua luceat deis. Requiescant in pace. Grotesque visions of paradise, death bells chime for my soul’s demise. Sharing eternity with the parasites, all alone with my cries. Alone... Sharing eternity, with the parasites. Embedded in silk my corpse, enshrouded in silence my soul. Is this your God’s paradise? Thought death may heal the wounds, but nothing can ease the pain. As I linger in my casket, dreaming of death’s domain. |

4. | While They Sleep | 07:11 | Show lyrics |
Life: capitulation. Death: salvation. Welcome to the nightmare 24/7. Numb reflections, of a dying mind. The will to exist, long before declined. Thus I’ve left, this mass grave earth behind. When everything seems so trivial, I take a look at you. Children of scorn, when souls search for their haven. Your dreams become the portal! Beyond the corridors of thoughts, I languish downcast, somehow dying, laughing. Beyond the subconscious realms, of the beyond I linger. Once mourned, now forgotten! Life: capitulation. Death: disconsolation. Sleep, my child! And the dead may follow... Whenever I thought, "there’s a light below!". The night became darker, than ever before. While you sleep, the dead whisper a lullaby. Deeper into the night I go, suicide was the key. For sure this must be, the way to Hell. While they sleep, I whisper a lullaby. Suicide was the key! For sure this must be, the way to Hell. |

5. | To Harvest the Artefacts of Mockery | 04:11 | Show lyrics |
The innocent skies torn asunder, again the clock strikes 12. Open the channel to your mind, I am the voice of egoism. The icon of arrogance! It’s the Devil inside of me, a celestial apostasy. I am the one fallen from grace, now unleash sadistic retribution. Reminiscence of chaos now revealed, a spiritual vacuum can’t be broken. Angstridden souls can be dejected, until there’s nothing left of it. It’s the Devil inside of me! Every night, a part of you is dying. Paranormal obsession, this is the art of taking lives. Every night, your soul is crying. Paranormal oppression, this it the way of sardonic tyranny. It’s the Devil inside of me, a celestial apostasy. I am the one fallen from grace, now unleash the fucking retribution. Reminiscence of chaos now revealed, a spiritual vacuum can’t be broken. Angstridden souls can be dejected, until there’s nothing left of it. |

1. | Poltergeist | 05:56 | Show lyrics |
I am the phenomenon, I am the light. I am the dark, I am the complex. I am real! Face my shadow on the walls! a phantom of despite, the 4th dimension terror. I am the one, I am the one denied. I am the one, the one denied. I am the one denied! I am the nightmare, knockin’ on your door. Cursed for aeons, Death’s disciple. I am the eerie cold, touchin’ your skin. Cursed for aeons, life’s denial. I am the eerie cold! I am the phenomenon, from beyond. I am the light, leading your through the dark. I am the dark, leading you astray. I am the complex voice, inside your head. Have you ever wondered, why all this has got to be? Have you ever wondered, why you shiver at night? Have you ever wondered, why the invisible makes you afraid? This is when our worlds collide, this is when I crush your soul. This is when souls can’t rest at night, this is insanity incarnated. |

2. | Revolution: Vanity | 05:14 | Show lyrics |
Submissions of the 4th dimension machinery, key to my soul’s tranquility. Archetype of my ascendancy, relinquish evanescent structures of humanity. Shapeless, into a darkened spiral I fade. The ignorance of man, my masquerade. Metamorphosis of a stillborn creation, opened wide my soul for spiritual illumination. I am the secret, isolated in worlds beyond. I am the horror, the art of demand. Flesh, the quintessence of vanity. Spirit, the ultimate evolution of sanity. Flesh, the quintessence of vanity. Spirit, the ultimate evolution of sanity. Metamorphosis, of a stillborn creation, opened wide my soul, for spiritual illumination. I am the secret, isolated in worlds beyond I am the horror, the art of demand. |

3. | Incide | 05:20 | Show lyrics |
(Instrumental) "The last horrendous error of a soul, tortured irretrievably into insanity, by a horde of disembodied demons: Rather than being the last desperate way out, the granted deathwish removes the last physical protection, and renders the soul completely helpless, in the demon’s own astral territory..." |

4. | Shardfigures | 06:22 | Show lyrics |
All my life I searched for thee, to make me feel complete. But only bitterness spoke to me, in a language I had to learn, throughout the years. All my life, I was wandering through the dark, without any spark of hope. Never knew where I belonged, weary of life and jaded. It was just too late to turn around. All my life I felt alone, no matter where I’ve gone. There’s never a place, for someone else, in the portrait, of a lifeless soul. All my life I searched for death, to make me feel alive. Now as he came for me, I’ve realized that I was, just too blind too see. There’s never a place, for someone else! In death I search again for thee, to erase this painful memory. These words of disconsolation, for they shall be my legacy. |

1. | The Silver Gate | 06:50 | Show lyrics |
Awake, Angels of Lunacy! Arise, Avatars of Chaos! Incinerate yourselves in the blaze of Babalon. Hierophants of the Hurricane, we invoke the Eidolon. Unleash the storm! We renounce the sin of mortal fallacy, bestow upon us our stellar legacy. Peel the benighted sheels from our radiant cores. We obey the laws of finitude no more. Ascend in Akasha to procreate, strip the flesh from your soul! Extend, open the silver gate. Melt yourself beyond all control! Give birth to the vision, let enter the voice and dare not falter, let the demons eat you. Confide in your Nuit, never your senses! Nine apparations, the nails of Yod, drip from the moon as unhallowed blood. Anubis’ terror to feed you as the night condenses. Ascend in Akasha to procreate, strip the flesh from your soul! Extend, open the silver gate. Melt yourself beyond all control! In poisoned aberration tarnished minions abire. Convocating execrations to drown and smother, to divide. Recline, rejoice! Discard the body and saviour this, your threnody. Divine by last alone and second skin, as the eyes turn to stone let the heave begin! Azazel, Shemhazu! Rejoin your kin in faith and fate! Heed not the warnings, we invoke the manyfold. Ny-Ar-Rut-Hotep! For we know there is no peace at the gate. There is no peace at the gate! Ascend in Akasha to procreate, strip the flesh from your soul! Extend, open the silver gate. Melt yourself beyond all control! In Akasha to procreate! Disembodied, unfettered souls. Open the Silver Gate, we embrace the stars with twin black holes. |

2. | Cohorror | 05:37 | Show lyrics |
Petrified in sleep paralysis, swallowed by nigtmare cataclysms. Cohorror builds its temple in me! Erecting hydric elevation under my cataleptic skin. Dreaming and dead, still howling defiance. Even in this gruesome revelation the bottom drops from abyssal unreality. Wrenching revulsion cracks my skull and kills me again. I know this epiphany wearing my own face. Who are you? Cohorror has laid its eggs in me! Parasitic larvae from beyond existence. Raven the remnants of my decaying humanity! This gnostic burst repels all life to unbeing, the essence of death. Transmogrifies all to the pitiless laughter of the birthless. How resilient not to choose to flee, rather be consumed by us! You have a name, long forgotten by men and their Gods! Eat my soul if you will but impart yourself. In your worlds we cannot be known, there’s no "here" for us to ever be. If you desire so to blindly see, seek the path that leads through the Eidolon! Bedevilled into unearthly perplexity. Frozen in horror my countenance stares back at me! |

3. | Baphomet | 06:24 | Show lyrics |
Surge Baphomet! Born from shade and dead desire, in the glade, a secret fire. Hidden from time and sin, ardent Gods stir again. Surge Baphomet, grant me Anathema. Purge me, Baphomet from worlds in denial. Through demise and desecration, in disguise dwells the Lord of ecstasy. Defies the lie of divine castration! Claims his prize, the awoken few’s apostasy. Intoxicate me with ambrosia thawed on Mother Nature’s button. Legs of lust moist and spread, scythe of death, poised, agog. If the "Why" rears his head let him die like a dog. Surge Baphomet, grant me Anathema. Purge me, Baphomet from worlds in denial. Expectorate me into infinity! I thirst for the obsidian venom of the boundless sea of space. "You summon me in childish play and insert time. I am devoid of pain but I can take you there and beyond if this be your wish. Come with me and I show you the glow, of inverted stars. Come with me and burn in the furnace of inverted vision. Come with me and there will be no more "me" for the "you" to follow. Come with me, I am in awe of the extent of your ignorance. Come with me... Since the dawn of guilt my path has changed. Last of the Nephilim! I have lingered in the seclusion of wood and fear. Uncaring for your woe, for I am a God of pleaseure. I will not shed a tear on your perished spirit when you return." |

4. | The Unflesh | 05:08 | Show lyrics |
Simian moths in search of metanoia and illuminance, exuberant dismay they will reap. Condemnation decomposes sanity through inhumanity and putrification, a plunge towards hopeless dismal death. Another pawn has taken the fall, a mind unsound and rotted. Put him up against the wall along with the tortured, the raped and the gutted. The unflesh is burning... And when the shell of mortal breath has ruptured, when existence has been wiped Off the portal of perception. When freed of shape or heart Anon succumbs to life-defying rapture, at last the truth be shown. And the deprivation has just begun, unseen chasms of perdition await. The very fabric of the soul comes undone. Never to abate, the gulf digests them one by one. The unflesh is burning... And when the shell of mortal breath has ruptured, when existence has been wiped Off the portal of perception. When freed of shape or heart Anon succumbs to life-defying rapture, at last the truth be shown. |

5. | Analepsy | 06:01 | Show lyrics |
To grim horizons the I escapes, the body broken, a hapless shape. Thanatos rising from Eros’ womb, from life awoken my carnal tomb. Soon, now, or never! Amorphous angels eerily sing, a glaring promise of deliverance. From devastation and suffering spark faint illusions of omnipotence. Come Analepsy! Unmake me, take me away. Analepsy unbreak me! My soul is gone, my mind is charred, there’s not much left to be redeemed. The storm has blown my Self to shards, I drift bereft of death or dream. Soon, now, or never! Amorphous angels eerily sing, a glaring promise of deliverance. From devastation and suffering spark faint illusions of omnipotence. Come Analepsy! Unmake me, take me away. Analepsy unbreak me! With broken eyes I turn to stone. Derelict, dissolved I fade alone. The vision dies in a void beyond measure. Unabsolved, the decrepit ruined temple of all pleasure. |

6. | Edge of Night | 03:57 | Show lyrics |
Lethean crevasses magnetized inebriate the fallen, forebode the edge of night. In absence, discovery of luscious pain, volcano hushed. Boiling licks, sculpting memories. Merciless hand lacerating to Devour. Ever-seeing, sleepless drug, atramentous, atomise. Forgetful, shunned by perjuring light, walking asleep. The core hungered, deprived! Asleep, lost the light of day! At the borders of emptiness the dusk of debauched desire’s seizure, revealed on Nadir enthroned. A ceraunoscopic spectre A pulsing sclera wants me, spewing faces from her hideous Nidus at the edge of night. Omnivorous cascades mesmerize incubate the fallen, beget the edge of night. Severed limbs jolting in spasms. Convulsing to connect to lobotomized phantasms. Asleep, lost the light of day! Asleep, lost the light of day! |

7. | No Longer Human | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
Open the Aethyr with a creak like a quake and a hiss of newborn stars. There is division hither homeward. We call to life the Anti-Janus! The anti-door that splits the mirror. We call to death the dream of species. Release the chaos! We call to death the inertia of incarnation. Twirling the vortex, our gazes hermetic Shall cause the tide of time to rip. No longer morphically crucified, devour the form of all life in their star-engulfing grip. Twin gaping black holes consume your flesh in a halo of flaring and spinning worlds No longer human! Your eyes are transcending the cortex of your burning soul. Deep in the heart of Uroboros Rectificando invenies clavem occultam. Unmake all doors, let life and death be one! Plunge with me into the sixth dimension, embodied in us the phase-space of all life at once. Twirling the vortex, our gazes spawned novas have caused the void of space to rip. No longer morphically crucified, devour the form of all life in their star-engulfing grip. Born from our fire, the shape of all death at once. Twin gaping black holes consume your flesh in a halo of flaring and spinning worlds No longer human! Your eyes are transcending the cortex of your burning soul. |

8. | Catacrusis | 04:34 | Show lyrics |
Sparked by sentience in me, immense the globed sky. Marked by death in life The "we" hatches from the "I". Seek thee in me, find me in thee. Izzu Tahuti, bearing Horus transfigured. Catacrusis! Metanova hurled down the dimensions. Catacrusis! Raving madness only to the profane. Immanent transcendence! Bearing down, I bring the fire. The misguided shrouded in blissful nescience. Immanent transcendence! Bearing down, I bring the fire. The misguided shrouded in blissful nescience. Seek thee in me, find me in thee. Izzu Tahuti, bearing Horus transfigured. Transcendent immanence! Bearing down, I bring the fire. My corpse awaits, the universe my grave. Catacrusis! Metanova hurled down the dimensions. Catacrusis! Raving madness only to the profane. |

9. | Antiversum | 07:22 | Show lyrics |
Condensed anew into unspeakable immortal coil. Malkuth is trembling, lies askew before the end of all mortal toil. Reborn by the vastness of the outer pandemonium. Spawned by all the Ungods lurking defiled by the Genesis. Deliver me and I shall wrench the world wide open for the coming of Elysium. In the dawning unlight I shall walk the earth as your Messiah, your Nemesis. Hiscat Barathrum! Antiversum! Cohorrescent corpora mea. Antiversum! Reverto ut frendeam orbitem terrarum. From behind the glass, in dimensions long cast aside, I see a shape familiar yet forgotten. Mummified in space and time. Lifeless, rotten! Reborn by the vastness of the outer pandemonium. Spawned by all the Ungods lurking defiled by the Genesis. Deliver me and I shall wrench the world wide open for the coming of Elysium. In the dawning unlight I shall walk the earth as your Messiah, your Nemesis. Antiversum! Cohorrescent corpora mea. Antiversum! Reverto ut frendeam orbitem terrarum. Legions of nightmares flank my side, the mirror bursts like an eggshell. I emerge, black furnace in the flesh to bring the end of all continuum. Antiversum! Cohorrescent corpora mea. Antiversum! Reverto ut frendeam orbitem terrarum. |

1. | The Silver Gate | 06:50 | Show lyrics |
Awake, Angels of Lunacy! Arise, Avatars of Chaos! Incinerate yourselves in the blaze of Babalon. Hierophants of the Hurricane, we invoke the Eidolon. Unleash the storm! We renounce the sin of mortal fallacy, bestow upon us our stellar legacy. Peel the benighted sheels from our radiant cores. We obey the laws of finitude no more. Ascend in Akasha to procreate, strip the flesh from your soul! Extend, open the silver gate. Melt yourself beyond all control! Give birth to the vision, let enter the voice and dare not falter, let the demons eat you. Confide in your Nuit, never your senses! Nine apparations, the nails of Yod, drip from the moon as unhallowed blood. Anubis’ terror to feed you as the night condenses. Ascend in Akasha to procreate, strip the flesh from your soul! Extend, open the silver gate. Melt yourself beyond all control! In poisoned aberration tarnished minions abire. Convocating execrations to drown and smother, to divide. Recline, rejoice! Discard the body and saviour this, your threnody. Divine by last alone and second skin, as the eyes turn to stone let the heave begin! Azazel, Shemhazu! Rejoin your kin in faith and fate! Heed not the warnings, we invoke the manyfold. Ny-Ar-Rut-Hotep! For we know there is no peace at the gate. There is no peace at the gate! Ascend in Akasha to procreate, strip the flesh from your soul! Extend, open the silver gate. Melt yourself beyond all control! In Akasha to procreate! Disembodied, unfettered souls. Open the Silver Gate, we embrace the stars with twin black holes. |

2. | Cohorror | 05:37 | Show lyrics |
Petrified in sleep paralysis, swallowed by nigtmare cataclysms. Cohorror builds its temple in me! Erecting hydric elevation under my cataleptic skin. Dreaming and dead, still howling defiance. Even in this gruesome revelation the bottom drops from abyssal unreality. Wrenching revulsion cracks my skull and kills me again. I know this epiphany wearing my own face. Who are you? Cohorror has laid its eggs in me! Parasitic larvae from beyond existence. Raven the remnants of my decaying humanity! This gnostic burst repels all life to unbeing, the essence of death. Transmogrifies all to the pitiless laughter of the birthless. How resilient not to choose to flee, rather be consumed by us! You have a name, long forgotten by men and their Gods! Eat my soul if you will but impart yourself. In your worlds we cannot be known, there’s no "here" for us to ever be. If you desire so to blindly see, seek the path that leads through the Eidolon! Bedevilled into unearthly perplexity. Frozen in horror my countenance stares back at me! |

3. | Baphomet | 06:24 | Show lyrics |
Surge Baphomet! Born from shade and dead desire, in the glade, a secret fire. Hidden from time and sin, ardent Gods stir again. Surge Baphomet, grant me Anathema. Purge me, Baphomet from worlds in denial. Through demise and desecration, in disguise dwells the Lord of ecstasy. Defies the lie of divine castration! Claims his prize, the awoken few’s apostasy. Intoxicate me with ambrosia thawed on Mother Nature’s button. Legs of lust moist and spread, scythe of death, poised, agog. If the "Why" rears his head let him die like a dog. Surge Baphomet, grant me Anathema. Purge me, Baphomet from worlds in denial. Expectorate me into infinity! I thirst for the obsidian venom of the boundless sea of space. "You summon me in childish play and insert time. I am devoid of pain but I can take you there and beyond if this be your wish. Come with me and I show you the glow, of inverted stars. Come with me and burn in the furnace of inverted vision. Come with me and there will be no more "me" for the "you" to follow. Come with me, I am in awe of the extent of your ignorance. Come with me... Since the dawn of guilt my path has changed. Last of the Nephilim! I have lingered in the seclusion of wood and fear. Uncaring for your woe, for I am a God of pleaseure. I will not shed a tear on your perished spirit when you return." |

4. | The Unflesh | 05:08 | Show lyrics |
Simian moths in search of metanoia and illuminance, exuberant dismay they will reap. Condemnation decomposes sanity through inhumanity and putrification, a plunge towards hopeless dismal death. Another pawn has taken the fall, a mind unsound and rotted. Put him up against the wall along with the tortured, the raped and the gutted. The unflesh is burning... And when the shell of mortal breath has ruptured, when existence has been wiped Off the portal of perception. When freed of shape or heart Anon succumbs to life-defying rapture, at last the truth be shown. And the deprivation has just begun, unseen chasms of perdition await. The very fabric of the soul comes undone. Never to abate, the gulf digests them one by one. The unflesh is burning... And when the shell of mortal breath has ruptured, when existence has been wiped Off the portal of perception. When freed of shape or heart Anon succumbs to life-defying rapture, at last the truth be shown. |

5. | Analepsy | 06:01 | Show lyrics |
To grim horizons the I escapes, the body broken, a hapless shape. Thanatos rising from Eros’ womb, from life awoken my carnal tomb. Soon, now, or never! Amorphous angels eerily sing, a glaring promise of deliverance. From devastation and suffering spark faint illusions of omnipotence. Come Analepsy! Unmake me, take me away. Analepsy unbreak me! My soul is gone, my mind is charred, there’s not much left to be redeemed. The storm has blown my Self to shards, I drift bereft of death or dream. Soon, now, or never! Amorphous angels eerily sing, a glaring promise of deliverance. From devastation and suffering spark faint illusions of omnipotence. Come Analepsy! Unmake me, take me away. Analepsy unbreak me! With broken eyes I turn to stone. Derelict, dissolved I fade alone. The vision dies in a void beyond measure. Unabsolved, the decrepit ruined temple of all pleasure. |

6. | Edge of Night | 03:57 | Show lyrics |
Lethean crevasses magnetized inebriate the fallen, forebode the edge of night. In absence, discovery of luscious pain, volcano hushed. Boiling licks, sculpting memories. Merciless hand lacerating to Devour. Ever-seeing, sleepless drug, atramentous, atomise. Forgetful, shunned by perjuring light, walking asleep. The core hungered, deprived! Asleep, lost the light of day! At the borders of emptiness the dusk of debauched desire’s seizure, revealed on Nadir enthroned. A ceraunoscopic spectre A pulsing sclera wants me, spewing faces from her hideous Nidus at the edge of night. Omnivorous cascades mesmerize incubate the fallen, beget the edge of night. Severed limbs jolting in spasms. Convulsing to connect to lobotomized phantasms. Asleep, lost the light of day! Asleep, lost the light of day! |

7. | No Longer Human | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
Open the Aethyr with a creak like a quake and a hiss of newborn stars. There is division hither homeward. We call to life the Anti-Janus! The anti-door that splits the mirror. We call to death the dream of species. Release the chaos! We call to death the inertia of incarnation. Twirling the vortex, our gazes hermetic Shall cause the tide of time to rip. No longer morphically crucified, devour the form of all life in their star-engulfing grip. Twin gaping black holes consume your flesh in a halo of flaring and spinning worlds No longer human! Your eyes are transcending the cortex of your burning soul. Deep in the heart of Uroboros Rectificando invenies clavem occultam. Unmake all doors, let life and death be one! Plunge with me into the sixth dimension, embodied in us the phase-space of all life at once. Twirling the vortex, our gazes spawned novas have caused the void of space to rip. No longer morphically crucified, devour the form of all life in their star-engulfing grip. Born from our fire, the shape of all death at once. Twin gaping black holes consume your flesh in a halo of flaring and spinning worlds No longer human! Your eyes are transcending the cortex of your burning soul. |

8. | Catacrusis | 04:34 | Show lyrics |
Sparked by sentience in me, immense the globed sky. Marked by death in life The "we" hatches from the "I". Seek thee in me, find me in thee. Izzu Tahuti, bearing Horus transfigured. Catacrusis! Metanova hurled down the dimensions. Catacrusis! Raving madness only to the profane. Immanent transcendence! Bearing down, I bring the fire. The misguided shrouded in blissful nescience. Immanent transcendence! Bearing down, I bring the fire. The misguided shrouded in blissful nescience. Seek thee in me, find me in thee. Izzu Tahuti, bearing Horus transfigured. Transcendent immanence! Bearing down, I bring the fire. My corpse awaits, the universe my grave. Catacrusis! Metanova hurled down the dimensions. Catacrusis! Raving madness only to the profane. |

9. | Antiversum | 07:22 | Show lyrics |
Condensed anew into unspeakable immortal coil. Malkuth is trembling, lies askew before the end of all mortal toil. Reborn by the vastness of the outer pandemonium. Spawned by all the Ungods lurking defiled by the Genesis. Deliver me and I shall wrench the world wide open for the coming of Elysium. In the dawning unlight I shall walk the earth as your Messiah, your Nemesis. Hiscat Barathrum! Antiversum! Cohorrescent corpora mea. Antiversum! Reverto ut frendeam orbitem terrarum.

Plunge with me into the sixth dimension, embodied in us the phase-space of all life at once. Twirling the vortex, our gazes spawned novas have caused the void of space to rip. No longer morphically crucified, devour the form of all life in their star-engulfing grip. Born from our fire, the shape of all death at once. Twin gaping black holes consume your flesh in a halo of flaring and spinning worlds No longer human! Your eyes are transcending the cortex of your burning soul. |

Sparked by sentience in me, immense the globed sky. Marked by death in life The "we" hatches from the "I". Seek thee in me, find me in thee. Izzu Tahuti, bearing Horus transfigured. Catacrusis! Metanova hurled down the dimensions. Catacrusis! Raving madness only to the profane. Immanent transcendence! Bearing down, I bring the fire. The misguided shrouded in blissful nescience. Immanent transcendence! Bearing down, I bring the fire. The misguided shrouded in blissful nescience. Seek thee in me, find me in thee. Izzu Tahuti, bearing Horus transfigured. Transcendent immanence! Bearing down, I bring the fire. My corpse awaits, the universe my grave. Catacrusis! Metanova hurled down the dimensions. Catacrusis! Raving madness only to the profane. |

9. | Antiversum | 07:22 | Show lyrics |
Condensed anew into unspeakable immortal coil. Malkuth is trembling, lies askew before the end of all mortal toil. Reborn by the vastness of the outer pandemonium. Spawned by all the Ungods lurking defiled by the Genesis. Deliver me and I shall wrench the world wide open for the coming of Elysium. In the dawning unlight I shall walk the earth as your Messiah, your Nemesis. Hiscat Barathrum! Antiversum! Cohorrescent corpora mea. Antiversum! Reverto ut frendeam orbitem terrarum. From behind the glass, in dimensions long cast aside, I see a shape familiar yet forgotten. Mummified in space and time. Lifeless, rotten! Reborn by the vastness of the outer pandemonium. Spawned by all the Ungods lurking defiled by the Genesis. Deliver me and I shall wrench the world wide open for the coming of Elysium. In the dawning unlight I shall walk the earth as your Messiah, your Nemesis. Antiversum! Cohorrescent corpora mea. Antiversum! Reverto ut frendeam orbitem terrarum. Legions of nightmares flank my side, the mirror bursts like an eggshell. I emerge, black furnace in the flesh to bring the end of all continuum. Antiversum! Cohorrescent corpora mea. Antiversum! Reverto ut frendeam orbitem terrarum. |

1. | The Silver Gate | 06:50 | Show lyrics |
Awake, Angels of Lunacy! Arise, Avatars of Chaos! Incinerate yourselves in the blaze of Babalon. Hierophants of the Hurricane, we invoke the Eidolon. Unleash the storm! We renounce the sin of mortal fallacy, bestow upon us our stellar legacy. Peel the benighted sheels from our radiant cores. We obey the laws of finitude no more. Ascend in Akasha to procreate, strip the flesh from your soul! Extend, open the silver gate. Melt yourself beyond all control! Give birth to the vision, let enter the voice and dare not falter, let the demons eat you. Confide in your Nuit, never your senses! Nine apparations, the nails of Yod, drip from the moon as unhallowed blood. Anubis’ terror to feed you as the night condenses. Ascend in Akasha to procreate, strip the flesh from your soul! Extend, open the silver gate. Melt yourself beyond all control! In poisoned aberration tarnished minions abire. Convocating execrations to drown and smother, to divide. Recline, rejoice! Discard the body and saviour this, your threnody. Divine by last alone and second skin, as the eyes turn to stone let the heave begin! Azazel, Shemhazu! Rejoin your kin in faith and fate! Heed not the warnings, we invoke the manyfold. Ny-Ar-Rut-Hotep! For we know there is no peace at the gate. There is no peace at the gate! Ascend in Akasha to procreate, strip the flesh from your soul! Extend, open the silver gate. Melt yourself beyond all control! In Akasha to procreate! Disembodied, unfettered souls. Open the Silver Gate, we embrace the stars with twin black holes. |

2. | Cohorror | 05:37 | Show lyrics |
Petrified in sleep paralysis, swallowed by nigtmare cataclysms. Cohorror builds its temple in me! Erecting hydric elevation under my cataleptic skin. Dreaming and dead, still howling defiance. Even in this gruesome revelation the bottom drops from abyssal unreality. Wrenching revulsion cracks my skull and kills me again. I know this epiphany wearing my own face. Who are you? Cohorror has laid its eggs in me! Parasitic larvae from beyond existence. Raven the remnants of my decaying humanity! This gnostic burst repels all life to unbeing, the essence of death. Transmogrifies all to the pitiless laughter of the birthless. How resilient not to choose to flee, rather be consumed by us! You have a name, long forgotten by men and their Gods! Eat my soul if you will but impart yourself. In your worlds we cannot be known, there’s no "here" for us to ever be. If you desire so to blindly see, seek the path that leads through the Eidolon! Bedevilled into unearthly perplexity. Frozen in horror my countenance stares back at me! |

3. | Baphomet | 06:24 | Show lyrics |
Surge Baphomet! Born from shade and dead desire, in the glade, a secret fire. Hidden from time and sin, ardent Gods stir again. Surge Baphomet, grant me Anathema. Purge me, Baphomet from worlds in denial. Through demise and desecration, in disguise dwells the Lord of ecstasy. Defies the lie of divine castration! Claims his prize, the awoken few’s apostasy. Intoxicate me with ambrosia thawed on Mother Nature’s button. Legs of lust moist and spread, scythe of death, poised, agog. If the "Why" rears his head let him die like a dog. Surge Baphomet, grant me Anathema. Purge me, Baphomet from worlds in denial. Expectorate me into infinity! I thirst for the obsidian venom of the boundless sea of space. "You summon me in childish play and insert time. I am devoid of pain but I can take you there and beyond if this be your wish. Come with me and I show you the glow, of inverted stars. Come with me and burn in the furnace of inverted vision. Come with me and there will be no more "me" for the "you" to follow. Come with me, I am in awe of the extent of your ignorance. Come with me... Since the dawn of guilt my path has changed. Last of the Nephilim! I have lingered in the seclusion of wood and fear. Uncaring for your woe, for I am a God of pleaseure. I will not shed a tear on your perished spirit when you return." |

4. | The Unflesh | 05:08 | Show lyrics |
Simian moths in search of metanoia and illuminance, exuberant dismay they will reap. Condemnation decomposes sanity through inhumanity and putrification, a plunge towards hopeless dismal death. Another pawn has taken the fall, a mind unsound and rotted. Put him up against the wall along with the tortured, the raped and the gutted. The unflesh is burning... And when the shell of mortal breath has ruptured, when existence has been wiped Off the portal of perception. When freed of shape or heart Anon succumbs to life-defying rapture, at last the truth be shown. And the deprivation has just begun, unseen chasms of perdition await. The very fabric of the soul comes undone. Never to abate, the gulf digests them one by one. The unflesh is burning... And when the shell of mortal breath has ruptured, when existence has been wiped Off the portal of perception. When freed of shape or heart Anon succumbs to life-defying rapture, at last the truth be shown. |

5. | Analepsy | 06:01 | Show lyrics |
To grim horizons the I escapes, the body broken, a hapless shape. Thanatos rising from Eros’ womb, from life awoken my carnal tomb. Soon, now, or never! Amorphous angels eerily sing, a glaring promise of deliverance. From devastation and suffering spark faint illusions of omnipotence. Come Analepsy! Unmake me, take me away. Analepsy unbreak me! My soul is gone, my mind is charred, there’s not much left to be redeemed. The storm has blown my Self to shards, I drift bereft of death or dream. Soon, now, or never! Amorphous angels eerily sing, a glaring promise of deliverance. From devastation and suffering spark faint illusions of omnipotence. Come Analepsy! Unmake me, take me away. Analepsy unbreak me! With broken eyes I turn to stone. Derelict, dissolved I fade alone. The vision dies in a void beyond measure. Unabsolved, the decrepit ruined temple of all pleasure. |

6. | Edge of Night | 03:57 | Show lyrics |
Lethean crevasses magnetized inebriate the fallen, forebode the edge of night. In absence, discovery of luscious pain, volcano hushed. Boiling licks, sculpting memories. Merciless hand lacerating to Devour. Ever-seeing, sleepless drug, atramentous, atomise. Forgetful, shunned by perjuring light, walking asleep. The core hungered, deprived! Asleep, lost the light of day! At the borders of emptiness the dusk of debauched desire’s seizure, revealed on Nadir enthroned. A ceraunoscopic spectre A pulsing sclera wants me, spewing faces from her hideous Nidus at the edge of night. Omnivorous cascades mesmerize incubate the fallen, beget the edge of night. Severed limbs jolting in spasms. Convulsing to connect to lobotomized phantasms. Asleep, lost the light of day! Asleep, lost the light of day! |

7. | No Longer Human | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
Open the Aethyr with a creak like a quake and a hiss of newborn stars. There is division hither homeward. We call to life the Anti-Janus! The anti-door that splits the mirror. We call to death the dream of species. Release the chaos! We call to death the inertia of incarnation. Twirling the vortex, our gazes hermetic Shall cause the tide of time to rip. No longer morphically crucified, devour the form of all life in their star-engulfing grip. Twin gaping black holes consume your flesh in a halo of flaring and spinning worlds No longer human! Your eyes are transcending the cortex of your burning soul. Deep in the heart of Uroboros Rectificando invenies clavem occultam. Unmake all doors, let life and death be one!

Awaken Dispel the dream of soul The swarm must have taken you Surrender Look around you The aeons are caving in Ghosts of longing fade The emptiness draws crimson dew Abandoned lie the heavens The aeons are caving in What happened? Deserted flesh, in havoc draped Pantheons clotted rusty residue Man falls as the world keels over Sprayed into a sanguinary fog Count your blessings Time has crumbled The seams are caving in All is silent The razor’s medium Behold surprisingly complete overcoming Only putrefaction Remains to tell the tale Of how the death never rose from their graves When, like choking flesh Embalmed by the reek of odium The last mouths have stopped flapping Then we must be through Man falls as the world keels over Sprayed into a sanguinary fog Count your blessings Time has crumbled The aeons are caving in A ceremony of subsiding pentance A silent epitaph for a fevered vacuum |

From the shadows From the pit From the chasm I call to thee Exiled from Eden Left for dead A spurred phantasm In barren reverie Osiris Drowned in lies Betrayed by blood In scorned baptized I am one with you In vengeance and despair Redeem me from this torment This empty prayer These hateful blades Rusting inside of me For all the rape and anguish We suffer night by night This cruel mirage can only languish For all this plight is but illusion The veil shall be torn Lust shall resurrect us A god shall be born From beyond me shall bring retribution I adjure all pain Commit myself to heresy Quit waiting for the angels To come and make amends I hail all death Reject all tortured saints philosophy Every wretched living thing knows this must end |

Somewhere down the line Man created god in his image Inadequacy on a pedestal A basin for a lake of tears to drown in And here we go again Where there’s blood there’s hirudineans Crawling from every hole, blotting blindly A brainless mob on the prowl Sycophants cough their amen Follow the light at the end of the auricle Egos inflate as the bugs migrate Every blurp a revelation, an oracle Fall, fall, fall, like flies from the heavens The leeches slide from their slippy throne Suck, suck, suck, till we drown in their muck Still quetching away, splitting heads with their drone I will not waste my time I will not waste my anger Trying to find the head on a worm With a rectum on either end A lie in a frame is still a profanity A ghoul with a crown can never be king Even crap will succumb to vanity its own stench the measure of all things Fall, fall, fall, like drunks from a tight rope Nothing but a skidmark in history Suck, suck, suck, empty heads run amok Choking on self-digesting misery Eyes will open Only when the ass starts burning Atrophied tentacles start groping Always loping, never learning Deeper and deeper Into the swamp you sing with every word To rot on its bottom Until the stink hearalds the next outpour of turds |

Somewhere down the line Man created god in his image Inadequacy on a pedestal A basin for a lake of tears to drown in And here we go again Where there’s blood there’s hirudineans Crawling from every hole, blotting blindly A brainless mob on the prowl Sycophants cough their amen Follow the light at the end of the auricle Egos inflate as the bugs migrate Every blurp a revelation, an oracle Fall, fall, fall, like flies from the heavens The leeches slide from their slippy throne Suck, suck, suck, till we drown in their muck Still quetching away, splitting heads with their drone I will not waste my time I will not waste my anger Trying to find the head on a worm With a rectum on either end A lie in a frame is still a profanity A ghoul with a crown can never be king Even crap will succumb to vanity its own stench the measure of all things Fall, fall, fall, like drunks from a tight rope Nothing but a skidmark in history Suck, suck, suck, empty heads run amok Choking on self-digesting misery Eyes will open Only when the ass starts burning Atrophied tentacles start groping Always loping, never learning Deeper and deeper Into the swamp you sing with every word To rot on its bottom Until the stink hearalds the next outpour of turds |

Awaken Dispel the dream of soul The swarm must have taken you Surrender Look around you The aeons are caving in Ghosts of longing fade The emptiness draws crimson dew Abandoned lie the heavens The aeons are caving in What happened? Deserted flesh, in havoc draped Pantheons clotted rusty residue Man falls as the world keels over Sprayed into a sanguinary fog Count your blessings Time has crumbled The seams are caving in All is silent The razor’s medium Behold surprisingly complete overcoming Only putrefaction Remains to tell the tale Of how the death never rose from their graves When, like choking flesh Embalmed by the reek of odium The last mouths have stopped flapping Then we must be through Man falls as the world keels over Sprayed into a sanguinary fog Count your blessings Time has crumbled The aeons are caving in A ceremony of subsiding pentance A silent epitaph for a fevered vacuum |

Scorched by time and death And a bloated sun long since shriveled The waste lies cold before me God’s creation ground to a shroud that stretches From horizon to horizon When all are dead And all is gone Not a breath stirs the air The faded moon finds only dust Crowded in the grip of a celestial wrath Forever drifting through infinite frozen void I exalt, alone at last Behold my kingdom From horizon to horizon When all are gone At last descends the silence Wide awake to receive this bliss Free of hate, free of pain, free of the need to escape Everflowing, everglowing abyss Drink my spirit, beget new shape For even ruins shall reminisce In powdered bone the lark of djinns and jinxes And from afar the story hiss And lucid moans of copulating sphinxes |

An ash painted chamber where death has been A song of entrails strung upon a violin On the brow, blood and sperm, with bile thinned And sealed with the Hecate’s nightshade kiss Five live cats, into a pentagram pinned To fuel their yowls, be they partly skinned A will to call the reaper to seal the abyss Where the half-eaten faces of Choronzon grin And the deluge begins As a wail runs into course Defeat devours defiance Life congeals, unhallowed Stench billows Raped into compliance The strong force yields To the redivider Altars bleed their rotting sanctity Aborted selves convulse Retch momentity avulsed from bliss The walls give way To a trembling pandemonium Nightmares flood the dying soul’s septic vision Decrepit screams, extraneous and obitual Gnosis through unbearability, psychosis by volition This is not a happy ritual Triumphantly Entropy parades its mandibles Tendons snap, bone rips from bone Atrocity transfigures overthrown humanity A scythed obscene apparition stands alone Praise the descending dark Praise limbo’s dripping vulva Praise the perishing spark That takes with it eternal life Iginum imus nocte et canoumimus igni The acolytes shed blood devoutly Dying slowly where they kneel The figure reaches out His clutches grab an easy meal But as the fiend unvigilant, Turns to feed, the master draws Upon his chest a vigil and Invents death and the devil’s laws In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni Vigna te, vigma temere me tangis et angis Forta faterno culto mulli claudaris lament Immare irate, in subata procella Invoco te, marstra occulta stella For when you Even death will die We spin around the night Consumed by the fire Cross thyself, you plague And vex me without need Even though consumed by fire We spin around the night In seas of wrath and sudden storms I invoke thee We spin around the night Consumed by the fire For when you should have danced Even death will die Even though consumed by fire We spin around the night |

I woke at first cold wisp of dawn To frightened mourners’ quiet lament From brooding death into rock withdrawn, To see upon my hand descend A giant moth with burning wings And a face like the god of fever From tortured lands a whisper brings To further grieve the unbeliever, Then fast decays to liquid rot Wherein one insane eye still reels Towards horizons misbegot In lurking ill beyond the veil The glow of monstrous fetid light Begins to seep into the world Flee to the last few specks of night Ere cursed sun his plague unfurls It is too late Here comes the dawn Goddess of love, morning star Oh how you have betrayed us all Beneath your beauty, ghostly, far, Boils pestilence, and horrors crawl A wretched huddle by the cave We watch our planet rolling slowly Towards the festering unholy Abyss of light that is our grave Focul tău (Your fire) Nu ne mai încălzește (No longer warms us) Distrugerea ta (Your perdition) Peste noi din cer (Upon us from the sky) Fleshless tendrils rake the air Where once sweet pastures bloomed in peace Sickening rays in malice flair What once gave life now broods disease Blind and lost we perish, shattered Earth lies battered Sidereal venom spreads Venereal dawn Defiles all living matter Erupts supernal atter Ethereal, venereal dawn With putrid fists corrupts and twists Pandemic glow subdues the world Ruthless, imperial, venereal dawn Trees once kissed to majesty By soothing stellar bliss Now scream in silent anguish As they’re wrenched towards the sky Infested roots seek waning Darkness as they die Choking in the cankerous air, Now a smouldering abyss Focul tău (Your fire) Nu ne mai încălzește (No longer warms us) Distrugerea ta (Your perdition) Peste noi din cer (Upon us from the sky) Abominations stalk the land Sublimed from void and spite Vestigial grace’s venal hand Failing beast and man alike The foul sun rising Daybreak begets On the horizon A silhouette A man-like shape Comes at us, writhing Snakes ’neath burnt skin Seething eyes, mouths agape On fevered wings he is upon us From his gorge retches a flood To drench us as he grabs us, one by one, In putrefying stolen blood Venereal dawn Defiles all living matter Erupts supernal atter Ethereal, venereal dawn With putrid fists corrupts and twists Pandemic glow subdues the world Ruthless, imperial Under necrotic cells, with plasma stained The sun’s disease cannot touch me I faint as I’m dragged across mangled plains Sânge să fi cu noi (Blood be with us) Sânge cuprinde-ne (Blood embrace us) Sânge ne va salva (Blood will save us) Unul după altul (One by one) Sânge peste noi (Blood upon us) Sânge ne va proteja (Blood will guard us) Sânge ne va salva (Blood will save us) De soare (From the sun) Sânge să fi cu noi (Blood be with us) Sânge cuprinde-ne (Blood embrace us) Sânge ne va salva (Blood will save us) Unul după altul (One by one) Sânge peste noi (Blood upon us) Sânge ne va proteja (Blood will guard us) Sânge ne va salva (Blood will save us) |

I woke at first cold wisp of dawn To frightened mourners’ quiet lament From brooding death into rock withdrawn, To see upon my hand descend A giant moth with burning wings And a face like the god of fever From tortured lands a whisper brings To further grieve the unbeliever, Then fast decays to liquid rot Wherein one insane eye still reels Towards horizons misbegot In lurking ill beyond the veil The glow of monstrous fetid light Begins to seep into the world Flee to the last few specks of night Ere cursed sun his plague unfurls It is too late Here comes the dawn Goddess of love, morning star Oh how you have betrayed us all Beneath your beauty, ghostly, far, Boils pestilence, and horrors crawl A wretched huddle by the cave We watch our planet rolling slowly Towards the festering unholy Abyss of light that is our grave Focul tău (Your fire) Nu ne mai încălzește (No longer warms us) Distrugerea ta (Your perdition) Peste noi din cer (Upon us from the sky) Fleshless tendrils rake the air Where once sweet pastures bloomed in peace Sickening rays in malice flair What once gave life now broods disease Blind and lost we perish, shattered Earth lies battered Sidereal venom spreads Venereal dawn Defiles all living matter Erupts supernal atter Ethereal, venereal dawn With putrid fists corrupts and twists Pandemic glow subdues the world Ruthless, imperial, venereal dawn Trees once kissed to majesty By soothing stellar bliss Now scream in silent anguish As they’re wrenched towards the sky Infested roots seek waning Darkness as they die Choking in the cankerous air, Now a smouldering abyss Focul tău (Your fire) Nu ne mai încălzește (No longer warms us) Distrugerea ta (Your perdition) Peste noi din cer (Upon us from the sky) Abominations stalk the land Sublimed from void and spite Vestigial grace’s venal hand Failing beast and man alike The foul sun rising Daybreak begets On the horizon A silhouette A man-like shape Comes at us, writhing Snakes ’neath burnt skin Seething eyes, mouths agape On fevered wings he is upon us From his gorge retches a flood To drench us as he grabs us, one by one, In putrefying stolen blood Venereal dawn Defiles all living matter Erupts supernal atter Ethereal, venereal dawn With putrid fists corrupts and twists Pandemic glow subdues the world Ruthless, imperial Under necrotic cells, with plasma stained The sun’s disease cannot touch me I faint as I’m dragged across mangled plains Sânge să fi cu noi (Blood be with us) Sânge cuprinde-ne (Blood embrace us) Sânge ne va salva (Blood will save us) Unul după altul (One by one) Sânge peste noi (Blood upon us) Sânge ne va proteja (Blood will guard us) Sânge ne va salva (Blood will save us) De soare (From the sun) Sânge să fi cu noi (Blood be with us) Sânge cuprinde-ne (Blood embrace us) Sânge ne va salva (Blood will save us) Unul după altul (One by one) Sânge peste noi (Blood upon us) Sânge ne va proteja (Blood will guard us) Sânge ne va salva (Blood will save us) |

Stasis Virulent nothing Incandescence Too fast to see Then the cold Acceleration Stretching stretching stretching Photos crawl towards themselves Rolled up in Planck time A vague sense of "we" Down comes his hammer Ande entropy trawls The nascent coalescence The second law creates it all Echoes clump to atom sludge And thus begins The existence of existence Electric fields carve geodesics Drag us along the path of least resistance Superluminal curling coriolis All the way down the arrow of time Towards heat death It thinks it feels But it can’t see us In the manifold’s iridescent expanse We stir the coalescence The second law will never fall We stir the coalescence The second law creates it all Within the breathing web of world lines Clandestine vectors swell With unseen luminescence Within the hidden depths of spacetime Our remains lie buried In the essence of the essence We stir the coalescence The second law creates it all We stir the coalescence The second law will never fall |

Orbs of gravity Warp spectral cavities The first Here is born Cursed to evanescence As spacetime is torn In fractal effervescence Primes break the symmetry Summon timelike infinity The first Now is born Chronons start to flow From the abyss of not-Now In the spinors’ undertow Strands Like shadows from the other side Wreathe a cosmos Spinning Nowhere into Nowhere I am the spider in the web I am the womb that bears the world I am the claw that rips the sky I am the eye that eats the universe Soul-blinding immanence Holes drain the filaments Transient horizons In mortal swirls they bulge and boil Crushing, rising, Matter’s rainbow heaves and coils Strands Like shadows from the other side Wreathe a cosmos Spinning Nowhere into Nowhere |

Mind Trapped in a point A specular psychosphere Enshrined In cognitive panic In everted hyperspheres Particles storm from dimensional transfiguration Curvatures absurdly twisted out of space Symmetries fold up and bleed cosmic catabiosis Radial, the litanies of flesh To light To vectors furled In infinity caged to watch As spectres from the old world Spectres from the old world From point To counterpoint Particles storm from dimensional transfiguration Curvatures absurdly twisted out of space Symmetries fold up and bleed cosmic catabiosis Radial, the litanies of ghosts As resonant chronophores reborn Scavenging cosmoi into form Coerced back to awareness By subluminal inertia The shadow of a soul Groping desperately in the dark Dimensionless, extensionless No time to be No space to grow Reduced to hollow waves In convulsing oscillation As formless craving soars U the scales of sentient vacuum Debris of fading memory Creates the spectral flow That twists and roils in agony Ever-searching for release And in its wake, strings start to glow And resonate the elements-to-be Storms of dimensional transfiguration Curvatures absurdly twisted out of space Symmetries fold up and bleed cosmic catabiosis Radial, the litanies of flesh To light To vectors furled In infinity caged to watch As spectres from the old world Spectres from the old world Spectres from the old world |

Hues of unearthly malady A scar like an oozing wound in the land The bones have spilled their marrow Released their life to miasmic skies Venus’ vitriol Could not have painted sicker scenes Magmatic gore rots In putrid reds and glowing greens Pali Aike Phantasmagoria scorched in rock Ghoulish nightmares gather and flock To Pali Aike Home of the devils Ghost lakes Into austral deserts call A cruel deception haunting the land Their poison drunken, vanished A carcass bleaches, barren lies For the lions to maul Here at world’s end Where colossal basalt spines drown in stygian deeps The thin veneer of reality hangs tattered And eldritch phantoms stir Awaken from their sleep Torrefied by time and dust Colonies lie scattered, starved and mummified Their vacuous marks consumed by moss and rust Long gone the greed for gold, the genocide Only sepulchral stars now cast their eerie glare On these abandoned plutonic panoramas Fata Morganas set aglow the silent air So peaceful, so beautiful Pali Aike Phantasmagoria born from rock Ghoulish nightmares run amok In Pali Aike Home of the devils Pali Aike Pali Aike Home of the devils Pali Aike Pali Aike Home of the devils |

Rising as one body My myriads swell On screaming desert winds Disease and fever spill Born from hell The need for the divine Where there’s no gods There are no demons Summoned in despair By Gaia torn in massacre A voiceless dire prayer Of all that lives beneath god’s vile stare Misbegotten usurpers Of the living continuum Hard to think that this was us Just one universe ago Nusquam deus Nusquam daemon Pazuzu, engulf us Save us from the deeds of men Shatter the terror in its core Ward off the virus boiling fear into its brains All life clings to the existence it abhors But this life must go for all other to remain Ubique daemon Ubique deus Pazuzu, engulf us Save us from the deeds of men A plethora of prongs and poisons Congealing from the tesseract Our anima to hide in legions Of living exoskeletons Breeding their feebleness into an epidemic Greedily consuming forest, river, beast, earth and kin Grazed by their made-up god’s lies A pandemonic of self-righteousness Sets the world aflame and preaches sin Let them revel in false victory Before the ooze back into the dirt Feeding on just one of theirs, A million maggots soon take wing We strip their fields before their eyes, And when they starve, we bring them Fever from the edge of time and Burn them from within Their fear of death is the key to their kingdom Ubique daemon Ubique deus Pazuzu, engulf us God against the gods of men A trillion eyes to feast on fever A pestilence against the plague A lord of death to combat murder Spawned from sacks of flesh and blood |

Forged by The frigid abyss of space My frozen carapace Wraps planets pole to pole Underneath The shroud of my albedo My prodigious claw rakes the land And incubates the seas I sow the land With earthborn treasures Green of the vales Awe of the mountains Isa Fallen from the skies Splendour of all form The power that drives me Isa I sink and crystallize Bearing gifts for those Who survive me Death’s White shadow I smother Volcanoes Into prisms Into cathedrals Those summits And pastures So revered They all are my children I shear the crust expelled by fire Create life’s playgrounds Leaving greatness in my wake Would-be eternal rock Is no match for space-clad water As all the worlds Will succumb To the cold Isa Fallen from the skies Splendour of all form The power that drives me Isa I sink and crystallize Bearing gifts for those Who survive me And my caress |

Rampant hubris spreads Through empires built on fallacy Echoes conceit of the living and the dead Propagates the seeds of corroding deceit Eyes in the skies Poisoned wires run Lies pulling at threads Till they come undone Civilization unravels itself Denies the demise Which from avarice comes Dies - still pulling at its threads Breaking them one by one In saturnine gluttony, the monster feeds Cannibalizing on itself Until there’s nothing left Even titans fall To the spells of Uranos Those slightest ploys At the heart of the avalanche Concealed from narcissist dementia The bane of giants hides in the small Horizons hypnotising, paralysing Gargantuan puppets To be destroyed From within By their minuscule masters Patiently watching corruption Run its course Scared and ensnared in their nightmare Souls slowly drain, blind and unaware Stained with disdain, devout in hatred Vain, inane, bloated and insane Confident Cocky Lazy Dead |

From the first procaryote that strains Towards its young star’s distant lucent beams To the last black hole’s Matrioshka branes All genesis churns In primeval dreams of splendor Chimeras of grandeur Even here in deepest time Creation will remember An endless effort, doomed to forever Fall apart at the seams The hunt for permanence Reduced to grazing swamps Of vapid dreams of splendor Chimeras of grandeur Even here in deepest time Creation will remember Through veils of death, and death again The antiversum shattered The world crushed to a singularity And hurled back to noxious light Now damned to be the vessel The very fabric of spacetime reborn Outside time Outside life Outside any single thing that ever was or ever will be Dreams of splendor Chimeras of grandeur Even here in deepest time Creation will remember In deepest time Creation will remember |

As broken bells resound in the church of megalomania the stench of death surrounds the fields of spiritual necromania Deluded stooges amass Still clinging to empty vows For one final ebrious mass Never temple, always slaughterhouse Too long have the watchers gazed upon The cancerous boils of arrogance Now time has carved the path The mirage of relevance Worn down in corrosion’s quiet attrition Corporeal elements Subvert its Sisyphean accretion Orbital decay And crawling hydrogen depletion Enough to burn away A pantheon of superstition No call for your glory Amidst the howling winds that feed Time’s vast cemetery Erased are the stories Doused, the fire stolen from the sky Now an ashen mortuary Too long have the watchers gazed upon The cancerous boils of arrogance Now time has carved the path Too long has the continuum been riled By biotic usurpation Now entropy has pulled the plug No call for your glory Amidst the howling winds that feed Time’s vast cemetery Erased are the stories Doused, the fires stolen from the sky And its worthless luminaries Come, death Let your gracious silent storm Disperse the swan song of all life Come, death Dispel the nightmare of eternal life Come, death Lay waste to the pious, The just and the depraved alike Their shrines Their whores and their fucking gods Come wipe out every last pathetic trace Come at last Wipe it all away |

Mind Trapped in a point A specular psychosphere Enshrined In cognitive panic In everted hyperspheres Particles storm from dimensional transfiguration Curvatures absurdly twisted out of space Symmetries fold up and bleed cosmic catabiosis Radial, the litanies of flesh To light To vectors furled In infinity caged to watch As spectres from the old world Spectres from the old world From point To counterpoint Particles storm from dimensional transfiguration Curvatures absurdly twisted out of space Symmetries fold up and bleed cosmic catabiosis Radial, the litanies of ghosts As resonant chronophores reborn Scavenging cosmoi into form Coerced back to awareness By subluminal inertia The shadow of a soul Groping desperately in the dark Dimensionless, extensionless No time to be No space to grow Reduced to hollow waves In convulsing oscillation As formless craving soars U the scales of sentient vacuum Debris of fading memory Creates the spectral flow That twists and roils in agony Ever-searching for release And in its wake, strings start to glow And resonate the elements-to-be Storms of dimensional transfiguration Curvatures absurdly twisted out of space Symmetries fold up and bleed cosmic catabiosis Radial, the litanies of flesh To light To vectors furled In infinity caged to watch As spectres from the old world Spectres from the old world Spectres from the old world |

5. | Pali Aike | 05:18 | Show lyrics |
Hues of unearthly malady A scar like an oozing wound in the land The bones have spilled their marrow Released their life to miasmic skies Venus’ vitriol Could not have painted sicker scenes Magmatic gore rots In putrid reds and glowing greens Pali Aike Phantasmagoria scorched in rock Ghoulish nightmares gather and flock To Pali Aike Home of the devils Ghost lakes Into austral deserts call A cruel deception haunting the land Their poison drunken, vanished A carcass bleaches, barren lies For the lions to maul Here at world’s end Where colossal basalt spines drown in stygian deeps The thin veneer of reality hangs tattered And eldritch phantoms stir Awaken from their sleep Torrefied by time and dust Colonies lie scattered, starved and mummified Their vacuous marks consumed by moss and rust Long gone the greed for gold, the genocide Only sepulchral stars now cast their eerie glare On these abandoned plutonic panoramas Fata Morganas set aglow the silent air So peaceful, so beautiful Pali Aike Phantasmagoria born from rock Ghoulish nightmares run amok In Pali Aike Home of the devils Pali Aike Pali Aike Home of the devils Pali Aike Pali Aike Home of the devils |

6. | Pazuzu | 05:50 | Show lyrics |
Rising as one body My myriads swell On screaming desert winds Disease and fever spill Born from hell The need for the divine Where there’s no gods There are no demons Summoned in despair By Gaia torn in massacre A voiceless dire prayer Of all that lives beneath god’s vile stare Misbegotten usurpers Of the living continuum Hard to think that this was us Just one universe ago Nusquam deus Nusquam daemon Pazuzu, engulf us Save us from the deeds of men Shatter the terror in its core Ward off the virus boiling fear into its brains All life clings to the existence it abhors But this life must go for all other to remain Ubique daemon Ubique deus Pazuzu, engulf us Save us from the deeds of men A plethora of prongs and poisons Congealing from the tesseract Our anima to hide in legions Of living exoskeletons Breeding their feebleness into an epidemic Greedily consuming forest, river, beast, earth and kin Grazed by their made-up god’s lies A pandemonic of self-righteousness Sets the world aflame and preaches sin Let them revel in false victory Before the ooze back into the dirt Feeding on just one of theirs, A million maggots soon take wing We strip their fields before their eyes, And when they starve, we bring them Fever from the edge of time and Burn them from within Their fear of death is the key to their kingdom Ubique daemon Ubique deus Pazuzu, engulf us God against the gods of men A trillion eyes to feast on fever A pestilence against the plague A lord of death to combat murder Spawned from sacks of flesh and blood |

7. | Isa | 07:38 | Show lyrics |
Forged by The frigid abyss of space My frozen carapace Wraps planets pole to pole Underneath The shroud of my albedo My prodigious claw rakes the land And incubates the seas I sow the land With earthborn treasures Green of the vales Awe of the mountains Isa Fallen from the skies Splendour of all form The power that drives me Isa I sink and crystallize Bearing gifts for those Who survive me Death’s White shadow I smother Volcanoes Into prisms Into cathedrals Those summits And pastures So revered They all are my children I shear the crust expelled by fire Create life’s playgrounds Leaving greatness in my wake Would-be eternal rock Is no match for space-clad water As all the worlds Will succumb To the cold Isa Fallen from the skies Splendour of all form The power that drives me Isa I sink and crystallize Bearing gifts for those Who survive me And my caress |

8. | Pulling at Threads | 03:12 | Show lyrics |
Rampant hubris spreads Through empires built on fallacy Echoes conceit of the living and the dead Propagates the seeds of corroding deceit Eyes in the skies Poisoned wires run Lies pulling at threads Till they come undone Civilization unravels itself Denies the demise Which from avarice comes Dies - still pulling at its threads Breaking them one by one In saturnine gluttony, the monster feeds Cannibalizing on itself Until there’s nothing left Even titans fall To the spells of Uranos Those slightest ploys At the heart of the avalanche Concealed from narcissist dementia The bane of giants hides in the small Horizons hypnotising, paralysing Gargantuan puppets To be destroyed From within By their minuscule masters Patiently watching corruption Run its course Scared and ensnared in their nightmare Souls slowly drain, blind and unaware Stained with disdain, devout in hatred Vain, inane, bloated and insane Confident Cocky Lazy Dead |

9. | In Deepest Time | 05:16 | Show lyrics |
From the first procaryote that strains Towards its young star’s distant lucent beams To the last black hole’s Matrioshka branes All genesis churns In primeval dreams of splendor Chimeras of grandeur Even here in deepest time Creation will remember An endless effort, doomed to forever Fall apart at the seams The hunt for permanence Reduced to grazing swamps Of vapid dreams of splendor Chimeras of grandeur Even here in deepest time Creation will remember Through veils of death, and death again The antiversum shattered The world crushed to a singularity And hurled back to noxious light Now damned to be the vessel The very fabric of spacetime reborn Outside time Outside life Outside any single thing that ever was or ever will be Dreams of splendor Chimeras of grandeur Even here in deepest time Creation will remember In deepest time Creation will remember |

11. | Swan Song | 07:17 | Show lyrics |
As broken bells resound in the church of megalomania the stench of death surrounds the fields of spiritual necromania Deluded stooges amass Still clinging to empty vows For one final ebrious mass Never temple, always slaughterhouse Too long have the watchers gazed upon The cancerous boils of arrogance Now time has carved the path The mirage of relevance Worn down in corrosion’s quiet attrition Corporeal elements Subvert its Sisyphean accretion Orbital decay And crawling hydrogen depletion Enough to burn away A pantheon of superstition No call for your glory Amidst the howling winds that feed Time’s vast cemetery Erased are the stories Doused, the fire stolen from the sky Now an ashen mortuary Too long have the watchers gazed upon The cancerous boils of arrogance Now time has carved the path Too long has the continuum been riled By biotic usurpation Now entropy has pulled the plug No call for your glory Amidst the howling winds that feed Time’s vast cemetery Erased are the stories Doused, the fires stolen from the sky And its worthless luminaries Come, death Let your gracious silent storm Disperse the swan song of all life Come, death Dispel the nightmare of eternal life Come, death Lay waste to the pious, The just and the depraved alike Their shrines Their whores and their fucking gods Come wipe out every last pathetic trace Come at last Wipe it all away |

12. | Nox Irae | 03:38 | Show lyrics |
Mors ridebit et natura, Cum perit creatura, Nulli et vacuo responsura. Confutatis maledictis Flammis gelantibus addictis, Dedisce me cum benedictus. Libera me, mors caloris, de vitá aeterna In nocte illa tremenda Quando coeli licti sunt et terra, Dum nihil venerit judicare aut deorum mentiri. |
