Langt om lenge det stormens blest Slår tidevannets sprekninger Slår hav på en skatt Har snart alle skogstjern frosset Og snøen dekker en fjelltopp Stripels kriger traust han var Som satte sitt mot i gammel tid Vandrer hen til dødøy skar etter sin bane Storgildt strid Bleser bleknede blåners land Overforlatt og dunkel jord Og bra for fedre som har seiret Norskehavets skumrings fjord Reisen gjennom dimmen er grå For meg er den et skall av forfars liv Blesne blekne blåner fjell Inn i en gråvendt natt Jeg reiser over bleknede blåners fjell Og her i mørket er jeg forlatt Snart har snø tynget hver en grend Snart har kong vinter beseiret jord Her hvor en gang de gamle falt i marken For å legge den øde øy Og gjøre den ren Over bleknede blåners fjell Jeg drar i dens dunkle mørkmanns ord Over land hvor fedres kamp har seiret Hvor vikingsverd satte tydelig spor |

(Instrumental) Svunne tider pajotuns vei Der over hoye klipper og fjell Har merket den med stov og aske Fra dengang alders hirder Vandret pa disse kanter Her gandviks bergtroll trampet frem I ondt og strrt et tussefolge Hvor ferdafolk fant stor en visdom Om landets skogsliv og morke sider Her pa stien som bukter seg uendelig frem Mellom berg hvor de vanskelig fremdeles Kan oynes i horisonten Sa storslatt det ma ha v?rt Og speide ut over alt dette Og a vandre sa alene og fri En hostkveld i en kald og lett take Slik som mange for meg har opplevd Og som mange for meg ha verdsatt Men minner blir glemt av tidens gang Og lite er her som det engang var Her som ellers har blader visnet Men falt ned pa en forfallen jord Hvor drommer og liv har dodd ut Men kanskje bak en stien Eller bak en gammel busk Sitter fortsatt.....hmm Og venter? |

5. | For all tid | 07:31 | Show lyrics |
Hver en tåre er frosset, Vår sjel er lenket, Vårt hat er blodig. All glede er svunnet, All latter er forsvunnet, Alt liv skal ende i død. I et kalt og øde landskap, Skal den sorte horde tre frem, Vår herre skal stige Opp for all tid, reise sitt rike igjen. Vår kamp skal belønnes, Våre nav skal prises, Våre sinn skal dra den grene, Og hans kjærlighet skal evig gå tapt. All moral skal forkastes, Du vil men du dør av skam. Nå er tiden kommet, Ja knus de godes ord, La oss for alltid bli herskere på denne jord. |

1. | Det nye riket | 04:59 | Show lyrics |
Vårt hat skal vinne. Vår ondskap skal gro. A feste seg i unge sjeler. Den siste krig skal vi vinne, Og de godes blod skal falle som regn. Deres korte sjeler skal samles. Vi skal rå de over kaos og evig natt. Vi skal glemme de kvinnelig vikante mødre, Og utslette alt. Et rike skal reiset seg, I asken av brennte hjem, Det er kun en herre hersker, Vi hyller deg Satan, de sterkes konge. Din tid er kommet. |

Glinsende månelys ovenfor driver Frostlagte stier viser vei Svarte sjeler farer henover natten Inn gjennom skodde heim Alt har svartnet Alt lys er svunnet hen Lødig trer vi nå inn i Riket I minne om at våre spor blir fulgt Omgitt av sorgens dis Skrider ferden frem Som en skare av likkledde skrømt Vandrer vi jervens hjem Brisen fører oss over norske myrer Forbi hver en tåkegrend Med hatet i våre harme sinn Reiser vi for aldri å komme igjen |

Kom unge bror Skjenk oss din rene ungdom Legg ditt liv i våre hender Kjemp vår krig med oss La vare sorger formørke ditt sinn La din sjel slites Føl natten som legger seg rundt deg Glem all kjærlighet Ingen tårer skal fylle dine netter Tre inn i broderskapets ring Ingen svakhet skal du finne i din sjel Styrken skal vandre ved din side Kom Del ditt hat med oss Forlat ditt svake legeme La deg ei forvirres av vakre ord I Døden finnes all makt |

Følg Følg etter Til Ondskapens hall vi drar! Der det vendte kors pryder ferden! Av Mørkets Allmektighet! På kristi flesk vi spytter! La det råtne! Et symbol på godhetens bortgang! Et skuespill der endes! Bring frem vårt indre sinne! Vis veien for vårt hat! Skjend guds sjeler til evig pine! I Ondskapens paradis er de dine! |

Min sjel den glødet Og mitt sinn det lengtet Etter å få fatt i en kristen faen I det kalde mørket jeg ventet med vinden Det ulte som besatt av fanden Jeg ventet Åh, som jeg ventet Tiden virket som evig Men endelig fikk jeg øye på stakkar’n Jeg hevet min knyttede neve Og skrek Svake kristne! Dø i natt! Jeg skal flerre din sjel i to! Du skal føle makten jeg har fått av mørket! Din tid er omme! Også din tro! ...også din tro...! Be om nåde du stakkars faen Og min latter skal atter runge Høyt i nattens kulde Der frosten fryser din siste Tåre... Svake kristne! Du døde i natt! Med et kraftig hugg tok jeg din skalle! En blodig slakt som til syvende og sist hvis stemmer (vil) for alltid i Dødsriket gjalle! |

Gjennom tideløse morkne drømmer I fuktig høstvind ober landstrakte vidder Mot Sorias fjellheim Kommer jeg, en fandens ridder Glatt er runen på det høye fjell Gnidd vekk av regn og vind Dragende kraft av ondskap lurer Her ved trollheims muldne grind Fortumlet av dette mørke byggverk Med røvet gull fra lyets pakt Brukt som spott til å senke Deres murer Vi grunder over dette riket Så vakkert fylt med tideløs skumring Som en stjerne i tomsindighetens juv Det bringer frem en nattlig mimring Over tanker fra en vissen tid Drott til himmels er det reist Av tidens endeløse svarte minner Stormblåst ut av det sorte indre Har bergflint rullet fra mo til kneist Undring og angst samler seg i natten I mørket som ruver om spiret For ingen dag kan veien hit Intet lys kan luske frem Der sorg har beseiret alle gleder Og bygd et land på menneskets jord Fylt med isklad prakt og heder |

Permeate me, oh night, as with the forest you did for heart is cold, cold as ice I drown in the colour of your eye for a black heart will only find beauty in darkness I breathe it’s eternity to absorb the sky where the shadows of death may lie [Chorus:] Feel the call - Nocturnal desire Sorrow’s breath - Enchanting cries Night’s blood - Taste damnation’s wine Feel the pain - Nocturnal desire The devil’s path of dark delight Night’s blood - Pure damnation’s wine Eyes are glowing, burn as hell’s fire Mark thy wisdom in my mind Those who never was born but whose darkness eternally devastated the goodness built up through milleniums No time passed, our victory is eternal Our scorn, our silence... A heart dies drowning in the night’s blood Everlasting malice for the wicked soul Can’t resist the night’s sweet blood Loneliness in the embrace of you autumn night The night that froze my cries Deep into the woods glows a fading light I sold my soul, cold as ice I drown in the colour of your eye for a black heart will only find beauty in darkness I breathe it’s eternity to absorb the sky where the shadows of death may lie [Chorus:] Feel the call - Nocturnal desire Sorrow’s breath - Enchanting cries Night’s blood - Taste damnation’s wine Feel the pain - Nocturnal desire The devil’s path of dark delight Night’s blood - Pure damnation’s wine |

Daylight has finally reached its end, as evenfall strikes into the sky. Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight, sickening souls cry out in pain. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace. Feel the gloom of restless spirits, hear the screams from the Mourning Palace. Feel the doom of haunting chants. Eternal is their lives in misery, eternal is their lives in grief. Abandoned in a void of nothingness. A chain of anger, a fetter of despair. In this garden of depraved beings, this unsacred place of helpless ones. Satan blessed the creatures, inswathed them in endless night. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. |

2. | Spellbound (By the Devil) | 04:07 | Show lyrics |
You have returned to the torture-chambers, to find peace among the rotting corpses. You have returned to the execution place, to inhale the smell of blood. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. You have returned, to the hidden graves only you know about. You have returned to to face your victims, and feel sensation of violence once again. Once again! Death and terror rules the soul! You have been spellbound by the Devil. Murderer, you have returned, to create fear and sorrow. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. |

3. | In Death’s Embrace | 05:41 | Show lyrics |
By the light of the moon, and the beings of the night. A curse has been laid upon us, to seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces. By the power of death, and the shadow of the reaper. A call has been brought upon us, to complete the infinite fall of heaven. Without the wit or will to end this journey, we continue travelling towards our faith. Harvesting helpless Christian spirits, raping the sanctity of saints. The heavenly father is streching his hand, pathetically begging for mercy. We spit and piss on his sacred flesh, as we breathe the breath of the unholy. For with the sign of the pentagram, hellfire rage is for us to come. As we shall wander the pit, unhallowed by the infernal one. We are forever captured, by the embrace of death. |

4. | Relinquishment of Spirit and Flesh | 05:31 | Show lyrics |
King of tempests and storms, Lord of innumerable figures and forms. Blessed with thy cold I am! As I upon the shoulders of mine, bear the burden of thine. Once I got touched, by a fire from beyond. An invitation to darkness, of which I could not resist. Caressed by the feathers of the fallen, I took the fate in my hand. My raging commander, my constant shade. My soul’s persecutor, my eternal divinity. Revealing thy powers, in visions and dreams. Invoking your magic at night. Honoured I am, to mission thy word. Within a creed is sworn, of majestic might. An infernal allegiance, in which I pay my share. An unholy awakening, inside of which I intend to bear. Beholding thy commotion! I entreat you with devotion, I subsume your might with strength. I will carry on with you as my guardian, against the lambs of the light. Possessed by the true God of earth I am, possessed for eternity. |

5. | The Night Masquerade | 04:23 | Show lyrics |
A scarlet sunset, the threshold to nightplay. A sinful oath is to be sworn. A beckoning bloodlust, among the seekers. Tyrannic hunger yearns! A gathering in flames and fires, Devil’s daughters dance. Scourged in filth obscene and lewd, longing for dark desires. The nocturnal beast appears, in an evil despotic shape. Expectant watching gracelessly, before demanding the sluts of lust. The Beast: "Come forth harlots, let’s begin! Rise and give praise in front of me, and receive eternal life from me! Welcome my spirit in honour of me! So drink of the blood I provide you, and you shall all forever wander, in the shadows of death!" The Chanting Whores: "Oh yes, Master! Let us receive thine offer, and drink with thee! And become a part of thy realm, with lust, sex and sodomy. For we are those who seek life eternally!" The Beast: "Blood is life and it shall be all ours!" |

6. | Tormentor of Christian Souls | 05:38 | Show lyrics |
I could drag you to my chambers, and strip you naked in darkness. I could pull out your fingernails one by one, and rape you until you find no hope. I could rip your guts out, and let you watch me, sacrifice your unborn child. I could leave you to starve, and even bring you to total silence. But I won’t! For I find no pleasure, in your physical pain. I want your christian soul to crumble. Your fucking soul! When I have seen your church go up in flames, and you are weeping, I will laugh. When I have seen you mourn over loved ones, I’ll feel bliss when your mortal souls is in ruins. I will grin in the shadows, for that gives me pleasure. Tormenting a christian soul! |

7. | Entrance | 04:46 | Show lyrics |
Soul on departure 666, onward into another existence. A trip far beyond all pleasant dreams, a voyage through desolation sights. Inner transformation, subconscious light. In the glance fields of fires, in the distance meadows of mists. Where minds being enshrouded, in complete night. The fading of love, life and light. Wandering an endless journey, dead within a trace. Entering a lost dominion, soulless and free. Visiting a foreign place, but yet so known. Another dimension, opens for me to see. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Soul on arrival 666, one short step from unhallowed ground. The ground of a kingdom come. Dead spirits communion, unorthodox profane void. Gardens, temples, palaces, I have seen them all! In search for insanity, sanity slowly drowns in trance. |

Master of disharmony, welcome my tainted soul. Take me from the hordes of the living, into the blessed darkness. Master of disorder, take my impure flesh. Lead me unto the path of temptation, save me from cowardness. Save me from cowardness! Master of sin, take my cursed heart. Bring me where I can find salvation, for I am the damned. Master of death, take my pitiful life. I am enslaved, I shall never forget the pain. Master of sin, take my cursed heart. Bring me where I can find salvation. For I am the damned! Master of death, take my pitiful life. I am enslaved, I shall never forget the pain. |

9. | Prudence’s Fall | 05:54 | Show lyrics |
He became the swarm! Indeed a pitiful imitation, to the verge of a quiet glance, an oracle without eyes. Darkness, precious companion, even thou can’t see his face. Salvation turned to bleed despair, compassion fled. Sadistic delight flowed, like Hell burned brighter. Existence woven into darkness, prudence did fall. In Satan’s beauty, life was found. A flow of orgasmic fire, swept through the cosmic night. I enthroned darkness triumphant, with the searing trident of the inferno. Gaze towards the Heavens, an you might catch a glimpse of me. |

10. | A Succubus in Rapture | 05:57 | Show lyrics |
Illness and plagues, torture and blight is what she brings. Mocking holy standards, deceiving feeble fools is what she loves. Granted with powers, gifted with magic. Watching the world, through raven eyes. Damned woman, mischievous whore. Heretic princess, Devil’s own. Her seductive elegance, excites your weak flesh. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. You damned woman, you mischievous whore. You heretic princess, you are Devil’s own. A serenade made out of black magic, she has learned to set souls afire, and makes sure that, you never will leave it’s trance. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. |

1. | Reptile | 05:17 | Show lyrics |
Glowing eyes, staring eyes! Manifest of evil presence, With entities swept in disease and decay. A fall from paradise, beyond redemption. Wrathchilds afterglow! He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who wraps the serpent around my neck. He who pours poisonous wine in my chalice. He who lets me serve and slip away. So I will take shelter, in the absence of the light. Hiding like a masked miniature in the dark, a revenant without relief it seems. For the art of becoming a progeny, and to be raised in such curse, is to forever creep among naive mortals. Infesting the dead in herds. Infesting the dead in herds! His grandeur of guidance, in round trips obscure. He who immerse my hands in sullen thrills. His paths on which domination linger, he who dares to prove the sanity of mine. He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who lets me serve and slip away. Black unearthly void, creatures crawling. Forbidden forgotten, fairly underrated. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. |

2. | Behind the Curtains of Night-Phantasmagoria | 03:20 | Show lyrics |
A mental inner vortex, as possessions through a wolf’s eye. Envisioning the eclipse, no longer to be blinded by a sunrise. In this final benediction, confronted by mirage of imminent mortality. Time’s set to end the suffering, so follow. I will cherish the secrecies of hearts! Chased by the black shepherds, behind curtains of night. Been found as a tool in their seduction, fatal haze. An escape into abomination. Perished to phasma, a syndrome of another aeon. Soul-obsequial inhesion! Resurged in torrents, of abysmal thoughts. Lost in a helix, blackest might! In stealth I do seek deliverance. In phantasmagoria, vortex utopia. |

3. | Dreamside Dominions | 05:13 | Show lyrics |
When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Like evil omens, in shadowed murmur, they welcome me again. Agonized and flattered to once become, a part of this horror scenario. I descend with arms open wide. When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Armoured and filled, with painful pleasure. Reflecting streams, of monstrous mirages. I will not hide! Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Agonized and flattered I once became, a part of the horror scenario. Armoured and filled with painful pleasure. I did not hide! Now when the gates are no longer shut, I withdraw from the light of the sun. |

4. | United in Unhallowed Grace | 04:22 | Show lyrics |
Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. We embrace the madness, gathered as one. Mourning dead passion, she comes to me. A fate awaits us in the night, in the ruins of creation we will unite. Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. She comes to me, a shining beacon, confused by the sensual innovation. Passion, towards image of mortal evil. Passion embraced by the image, of united death. The enigma lies broken! Searching for those precious moments. Reaching for a higher state of existence, like a newborn migrant in the void. I am smitten by forbidden fruit, possessed by moments of dark splendour. To walk the nightmare terrains forever, the enigma lies broken. Possessed by moments of dark splendour, to walk the nightmare terrains forever. United with new unhallowed grace, this cursed beauty hunts me forever. |

5. | The Promised Future Aeons | 06:51 | Show lyrics |
Erotic and dreamlike still in its mortal disguise, a passionate ritual in the ruined garden theatre. The painted angels shadowed high above, once they gathered to worship at the picture of me. Like a whisper where there are no words appears the perplexed, the statue of might. In the cradle of the next generation a spiralling ruin lost in the gathering dust. The faces you saw in the withering garden, I witnessed the flickering made to look like stone. Quivering like little figures lost in broken flames, never to forget again the names carved in horrid flesh. Those words drawn in water become our legacy of fantasies. Burn the pictures so unexpected in this strange deserted place, once opened its secrets would become the world. Its attributes would continue to unfold forever. Through the fabric of the promised future aeons I offer this suffering of my unwanted father. The stars did wander separated in the forbidden universe. |

6. | The Blazing Monoliths of Defiance | 04:37 | Show lyrics |
With hearts of midnight, brightened by his infernal light. We stand as a monolith of wrath, united under the goat of a thousand young. Two horns thrust upwards in defiance, three inverted as the trinity denied. A phalanx of mourners in black, falling towards nightly terror. Unleash the tempted beast, raised your horns in prideful blasphemy. I’ll be your guide into the glorious darkness, and enchant you like a taste of sin. Unleash the tempted beast, chant there on in words of blazing scorn. Grant me my dark desires, strengthened through the power of Satan. Take pleasure in the torment of the wretched, and rejoice in the delight of the flesh. Behold the face of Satan, and walk the fields of erotic fire. Hunt the Heavens... Godless temples beckon, through gleaming scapes of horrid nightmare. Gathered between symbols and signs, a glow of new light is born out of the night. Give into your lust and carnal desires, in twisted blood-dripping ecstasy. In the name of Satan, I lead you into temptation. |

7. | The Insight and the Catharsis | 07:17 | Show lyrics |
Passenger on confessional course, unlock with the key you behold within. Repair the shadow of your mind and come awake. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand. To be faithful and the instrument so that the ones with blindfold can see what I have seen That there is nothing in between for I am the accomplice. Aghast and tender indulged in sin, embraced by loneliness legions who grin. I blunder into the realms of slumber, I collide with the obscure and see the last fraction of light go by. Plundering the sanity from the insane, and providing appearances in black. Carefully swept in decadent spheres, faces in this world always remain darkened. In circles of dominance emotional deeps unite, fiction and transcendence woven together. In the essence of purity lies wisdom. Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions. What more do you need of proof, human hands conforming cloven hoofs, for I know the secrets and lies behind all truths. Knowledge is power and the power is mine. It’s all mine! So let the children come to me and share the limitless ways to infinity. Escape death and disease and behold youth and vitality. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me how to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand for I am the accomplice. |

8. | Grotesquery Conceiled (Within Measureless Magic) | 05:10 | Show lyrics |
In the shadows of my gallow, I’d rather absent the hallow. Thy presence made pleasure of pain, thy madness turned sanity into vain. Profoundly wicked owner of soul, the mysteries of thy creation beheld by ghouls. Diabolically disguised heavenly bodies, atrociously desired primordial elements. Plunging through the confused heart of sulphur. In all this darkness, how can man see? Pour misguided fool, it is not God you are talking to. I am not impostrous, hiding behind pearly walls. However, I am still yet to be found, known. I shall guide you on your midnight ride, as the sun fades black. Beyond your grotesque imagination, my name will be revealed. The blood of Christ can’t heal your wounds, give me all of yours and I’ll give you mine. I am the hidden fantasy. In the secrets of my knowledge, there is no God but me. In this shadowy world all are nameless. Outstanding, dressed in majestic splendour, touched by the flames of eternal fire. How I long for your embrace, uttermost desire. |

9. | Arcane Lifeforce Mysteria | 07:03 | Show lyrics |
In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. Ride the beast through paradise, still vipers these mortal burdens. We arise as the portals take form, I leave my feathers again. Infidels and scarecrows, all fallen from Heaven. Captured by the sin of the beast. Mesmerized in total chaos. Engulfed in an overflow, of selfish might. Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. Raped by the sanctity of the unholy, reveals a Hell I never dreamed of. Bewildered by, the arcane life force mysteria. I shed my skin once again! Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. |

1. | Dimmu Borgir - Master of Disharmony | 06:06 | Show lyrics |
Master of disharmony Welcome my tainted soul Take me from the hordes of the living Into the blessed darkness Master of disorder Take my impure flesh Lead me unto the path of temptation Save me from cowardness Master of sin Take my cursed heart Bring me where I can find salvation For I am the damned Master of death Take my pitiful life I am enslaved I shall never forget the pain Master of sin Take my cursed heart Bring me where I can find salvation For I am the damned Master of death Take my pitiful life I am enslaved I shall never forget the pain |

2. | Dimmu Borgir - Devil’s Path | 05:31 | Show lyrics |
Never shall the sun kiss my face And caress me with its burning light For I dwell in the shadows And sleep side by side with death In dark desire I embrace the whore Giving her an escape from an unworthy life For with the appearance of a fallen angel I serve darkness I am a prince among the damned As I’ve been for an eternity The monark in a dark paradise Cursed by life and the living Oh tremble not my immortal heart Trough you beat in the shadows of death Eternal life is the blessing And I shall rule for another thousand years |

3. | Dimmu Borgir - Nocturnal Fear (Celtic Frost cover) | 03:22 | Show lyrics |
Obscurity hides the plateau Stars darken in their place Nanna’s glowing above Illuminates the silent scenery (Chorus) Seven they are Yezidi’s call Aeon of night Eager to Prevail From the mountains of dawn they cry The call of the frantic god From the womb of mother earth they scream The wage of creation and sin ("The sleeping lord awakes Tiamat pulls at her chains, The blind phantom rages Azag Thoth howls Vibrations at the black ether’s edge As nocturnal fear penetrates the land Ecstatical celebrations at their zenith The seven sharpen their claws...") Winds emerge from the east Deep, dark water moves Even the cold it don eclipses When they adore the dog-faced beast (Chorus) As they admit the infernal tide The eye on the throne derides The old gods and their tribes in chaos Tiamat laughs pride... |

5. | Old Man’s Child - St. Aidens Fall | 05:49 | Show lyrics |
Norse soldiers armed with virtue, hearts of steel, minds filled with dignity, Once they sailed across the open sea, their eyes glowed with death-joy, and glory. Brave men of endless strength, as they sailed across the open sea. Weak men in brown robes cried for mercy, screamed for help to god almighty. The ultimate warrior force, crushed them neath their iron hand. Mightiest conquerers ever, to be seen, they were sent from an old foreign land, waded in blood battle until the end, a gift of strength, given from Wotan high. Turned their gods and their ships to the north, the waves upon the water were like ripples in their minds. Entered than the ancient land of darkness, as they soon would turn their ships again. Norse soldiers armed with virtue, hearts of steel, minds filled with dignity, Once they sailed across the open sea, their eyes glowed with death-joy, and glory. |

6. | Old Man’s Child - Seeds of the Ancient Gods | 06:40 | Show lyrics |
Whipping tears from the sky, as the forsaked throne embrace it`s soul. With blood on their hands, and high-raised swords, the ancient gods command. Fading the forest the shadows of the past, with the ravens command they march onward. Swear by the moon and the stars in the sky, as they bend down and greet to their gods. A cold mist now hovers their ground, as they gather for war, mighty and proud. Shadows appear from behind the torchlight, slowly arise from the deepest fog. The pestering storms, the raging battles forward from the north. An ancient myth of a time to come, a black hole, an empty grave. A birth of a forthcoming master, the darkening sky. The fallen life as the stars die, in the gloom they rise. The crowned one`s, of ancient times. Fading the forest the shadows of the past, with the ravens command they march onward. |

7. | Old Man’s Child - Manet sorgfull igjennom skogen | 05:37 | Show lyrics |
Tårer faller som tungt høstregn, i et kaldt desemberlandskap. Tårer for min stolthet og min verdighet. På min ferd inn i ensomheten, inn i skogens mørke. Til mine sorgers opphav jeg går, i skam. Jeg fylles av satans makter, og en dyster harmfull fred. Et kall fra hans land, jeg skal synke i dødens vann, og fare med strømmene mot dødens land. Hun slikker mine kinn, mens døden lokker kan jeg skimte hans rike. Triste øyne og spake stemmer, følg min dragning mot gravens kalde mørke. Tårer faller som tungt høstregn, i et kaldt desemberlandskap. Tårer for min stolthet og min verdighet. Så i mørket skal vi atter reises for krig mot lyset, vi skal herje, jagende vårt bytte. Som en storm skal vi rive i filler hans rike, under mørkets klinge skal vi dø. I en tapper krig, jeg skal dø. Aldri stride mere, kom drikk mine tårer. Og mot din grotte vandre. I din grotte vi skal rå. På min ferd inn i ensomheten, inn imot skogens mørke. Til mine sorgers opphav jeg går, med hat. Hun fuktet mine lepper, mens døden lokker har jeg nådd ditt rike. Triste øyne og spake stemmer, følg min dragning mot gravens kalde mørke. |

8. | Old Man’s Child - The Old Man’s Child | 04:03 | Show lyrics |
Gods of ancient twilight, glance the golden past, let me enter your hidden gate, let me know I am the last. Rise nocturnal spirits, eternal gods of the north, blow your wind upon my flesh, reach me your immortal force. I dance through the winter storms, all through a lifetime as man, marching to the deepest fog, to bend down beneath your ancient hand. So engraved by battles for years, but more mighty than ever, with blood on my weapons I hunger, for more (I shall never give up the war). I`ll make this night my darkest intentions, walking towards your kingdom, winter of the norse evil, I summon you to embrace and crown me. Rise nocturnal spirits, eternal gods of the north, blow your wind upon my flesh, reach me your immortal force. |

9. | Old Man’s Child - ...og jeg iakttok dødsrikets inntog | 05:04 | Show lyrics |
Kun opplyst av kveldsstjernen. Ventende uten kjærlighet, uten varme død skal komme. Så spill ut all mjød og legg fjellene øde. Måtte deres ruiner bli meg en verdig grav. |

1. | Emperor - The Ancient Queen | 03:41 | Show lyrics |
The Ancient Queen. Deadly hate, deadly love. Dark under the shadow. Death has been resisted. The Ancient Queen, ruler of the domain. Keeper of the fury, the Queen dwells in shadow. Dark rivers run though me. Darkness follows everwhere. Kingdoms falling again and again. Crawl to thee over again. The Ancient Queen, the darkest woman. Stepping through her shadow. She who sees the soul. Black is her blood. Keeper of the fury. Stepping through her shadow. Do you see her soul? Black is her blood. Keeper of the fury. Dark under the shadow. Thy destiny lies with her. The Ancient Queen, ruler of the domain. Keeper of the fury. In shadow... shadow. |

2. | Emperor - Witches Sabbath | 05:56 | Show lyrics |
Shifting shadows guide my way in the autumn. From this fell alliance eternal night shall arise. Hear the scream of the wolves calling again. Legions are wreaking destruction upon the fortress. They must beware his rage. Once again he is risen. Towns are burning, the gods arise. Welcome the nocturnal nightmare And suffer again. And suffer again. He shall suffer. Dying breed of stalwart men. We will never deny what you can see. In malice. They will understand my pain. Shifting shadows guide my way in the autumn. From this fell alliance eternal night shall arise. Hear the scream of the wolves calling again. Legions are wreaking destruction upon the fortress. |

3. | Emperor - Lord of the Storms (Evil Necro Voice from Hell Remix) | 01:57 | Show lyrics |
Earthquakes are breaking the silence, a vision of hate. A wicked, foul spell of evil. Dark winds command the throne. Cleansed by the evil hand, a crusade of the burning land. A servant in the shape of a snake blackens the bodies red. Then it appears, the storming wind, a challenging scar burns through the light. A cloud of darkness prepared for me to complete the circle of death. The serpent gains mastery of the wind through the storms and through the streaming snow. Sorrow blackens the Earth when the Moon fades. Dark winds command the throne. Earthquakes are breaking the silence, a vision of hate. A wicked, foul spell of evil. Dark winds command the throne. Cleansed by the evil hand, a crusade of the burning land. An embrace from Death. |

Slowly crossing as red rivers runs below Forever passing where the darkness lies unknown Where soulwinds burns my eyes Where shadows of lost life hides Enter the centers of darkness Where all evil dwells Demons present in flames Oath of black souls found Sacrifices as old as the earth We cut the living flesh Circles of the deepest black throned A promise of the darkest blood found Unholy forces of evil Unholy forces of hell An mayhemic silence floats We await our signs of death our circle gathered Ceremonial powers belong to us A goat baptized in fire We dance the circle dance on thorns Awaiting the sign of the horns A thousand black clouds storms Blasphemous Northern rites Mysticism touched Pentagrams burning Into the centers of darkness Where all evil dwells Demons present in flames Oath of black souls found The unholy forces of evil Served upon our diabolical souls Cults of death bathed in slaught As the devils candles burns Into the dark skies Floating with the soulwinds of the pentagram To the deathlights where the North star awaits |

2. | Blessings upon the Throne of Tyranny | 05:19 | Show lyrics |
Infected by invalid behaviour, while capturing the stench, of divine putrefaction. Confess to slavery, for the world saviour. Give praise and inhale the corruption. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress. Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. The decrepit innocence, of your correctness and well chosen. Elicits the source of the need, for immediate forgiveness. Submit to no grace, but the pitiful of your disease. Apply to join the unlimited disgrace, and a settlement in the skies. And turn the confusion among your children, into self-stimulation. The incarnation of your prostitution, the true evil in disguise. With the ignorance from your cross, as the witness. The truth of your tragedy, make you justice. In your mirror the high spirit, of kindness looks like malice. Condemnation of life by the living dead. What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core. How unfortunate I am! Cursed to spend time, on a battle already won. The shame that will be guarding, your grave says it all. Retreat to the crypt, and make it worthwhile. Recall my sins furthermore, but still be watching yours with a smile. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. |

3. | Kings of the Carnival Creation | 07:45 | Show lyrics |
Incarnated marvels simplified effects from such a disconsolate kind. Impotence of the once so perfect living, erase and rewind. Stand rigid for the next battle, peace means reloading your guns. The love for life is all hatred in disguise, a carnival creation with masks undone. In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin, through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind. Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as the virulent truth, confidently dawned to pick the best of enemies. An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception. Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions. Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface and enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect. With such bedevilled faith in good subsequently trusting evil. Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Left are the kings of the carnival creation, carrying out the echoes of the fallen. Sense the withering eternity as it fades away, the ultimate graceless voyage of all times. Only Death will be guarding your angels silently, cripples joining arms in clamour. Institutionalized for the rebirth the herd will be hunted! |

4. | Hybrid Stigmata - The Apostasy | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
The apparition of two faces in disgust, invisible but yet so clear. Reflections seen by a fugitive, trying to escape the looking glass. Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh. The one in front of the mirror, exceeds the image Eager to leave further, but chained still. To crumble into such nothingness, adespairing fate for your lies. To pretend is the lunatic’s legacy, privileged to bolt the nails of heresy. Born lifeless into a world of coma. As the chronic sufferer, trapped in paradise lost. Missing insinuations of what, life was meant to be. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside. How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Holding the banner high, unrestrained. Slowly abandoning the surface in contempt. Still in costumes to please the ways of living. Witnessing the details of defilement, intoxicating! Make sure to be pleased, with the ways of your death. For in days of reckoning, and when the twilight torn is ticking. Elysium is halfway, as an answer to the plea. You’re destined to yield, fragments of Hell in return. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Leave unnoticed with the perfect conscience, with the strength of the spiritual eye. Spirits of the token unchained and free. Recover from the philanthropic, macabre frenzy. The pale dove grins, black at heart and ready to flee. Demon to some, angel to others! |

5. | Architecture of a Genocidal Nature | 06:08 | Show lyrics |
A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Created in a shape to accommodate, a wide variety of demonic forms. The realm of the benighted, aristocracy of evil most pure. This is where wounds of deadly hate, have pierced so deep. Emerged from the depths of the earth gasps. It rages against mankind, to annihilate the earth and worse. It spills the blood like rain, the beauty of death it represents. Devouring their flesh with a razorblade smile. Genes would still blindly, carry on smouldering ember of Hell. Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush, that sweep all traces of time, place and pattern. A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Total death in every nation, monuments of vanquished civilization. Just as brilliantly removed ruthlessly, eliminated. The cornerstone of human emotions, has now been drained away. I saw death of a most uncommon nature. |

We do away with your kind! Countdown to exterminate, the human race 4, 3, 2, 1... Let chaos entwine, on defenseless soil. Remove errors of man, and sweep all the weakening kind. I am war, I am pain, I am all you’ve ever slain. I am tears in your eyes, I am grief, I am lies. Bygone are tolerance, and presence of grace. Scavengers are set out, to cleanse the human filth parade. I am pure, I am true, I am all over you. I am laugh, I am smile, I am the earth defiled. I am the cosmic storms, I am the tiny worms. I am fear in the night, I am bringer of the light. Earth successfully erased! |

Look at those lifeless leaves, all their precious pride is taken away. A lost creation for a graven image, trembling of nothing but their own fear. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. To surrender to a faith so fake, to not comprehend while you’re awake. Thrive on your deity for heaven’s sake. Do loose your battle, before actual birth. For some sheep, need the company of a shepherd. To face the scorn of the earth! Existential parasite drama across the lands, what a relief, never bother the why’s. Investing illusions and folding hands, the passion for mankind’s ignorance feeding you lies. All those naked faces and empty shells, procreation of the mind put to rest. Crippled and caged, anaesthesia adjust. The lambs of slaughter pre-occupied in disgust. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. |

8. | The Maelstrom Mephisto | 04:41 | Show lyrics |
Ride the vortex winds, with the beast inside. Cast down all memories, from a past and future world. The cynic icons, and the cryptic writings. As a picturesque creation, in force and spirit. Against their reason, and will, it is time. Give darkness it’s passion plea! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. Pledged to judgmental arrogance in, drawn principles of ignorant falsehood. To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself. A tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep. So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. In the dimness surrounding, the towers of the castle. Where the ravens spread, their wings out wide. Dwell in depths of the darker self, at any shore of infinity. And watch the relentless, paint the soil black. What is being formed, echoes throughout eternity. As the painter chooses color no more. Hold your shadows close, when the comedy is over. As the days of mourning, seem to be the days of joy. Fragments fell from the sky, in order to penetrate the eyes. A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies. Lies! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. |

9. | Absolute Sole Right | 06:24 | Show lyrics |
As cyclones detach from the world above, and all the other worlds beneath them flow. Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories, sought to strive in twilight mist and penal fire. As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! Death has a contract, on life and Hell in between. What was once not certain, is now foreseen. When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. A magisterial maintenance, of diabolic education. Where the opposite of innocence, paves the way for intelligence. Where pearls are chained, for each tragic event. The glorification, of deviance in progress! When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! The glorification, of deviance in progress! As cyclones detach from the world above, and all the other worlds beneath them flow. Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories, sought to strive in twilight mist and penal fire. Liars in wait tries, to quench their thirst for more. Drowning victims of a parallel universe. The scum of the earth, a rejoice of fools. The world hates you, for being precise. |

What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth, and melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. History foretold, the hidden stigmata. Totally annihilating, the ecstasies innumerable. Materialize the vision, give up the ghost. Cease the gloomy awakening! Madness in it’s sweetest form! What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! |

1. | Tormentor of Christian Souls (live) | 05:25 | Show lyrics |
I could drag you to my chambers And strip you naked in darkness I could pull your fingernails out one by one And rape you till you find no hope I could rip your guts out And let you watch me Sacrifice your unborn child I could leave you to starve And even bring you to total silence ...but I won’t For I find no pleasure in your physical pain I want your Christian soul to crumble Your fucking soul When I have seen your church go up in flames And you are weeping I will laugh When I have seen you mourn over loved ones I will feel bliss when your mortal soul is in ruins I will grin in the shadows For that gives me pleasure... ...tormenting a Christian soul |

2. | The Blazing Monoliths of Defiance (live) | 04:32 | Show lyrics |
With hearts of midnight, brightened by His infernal light We stand as a monolith of wrath, united under the goat of a thousand young Two horns thrust upwards in defiance, three inverted as the trinity denied A phalanx of mourners in black, falling towards nightly terror Unleash the tempted beast, raised your horns in prideful blasphemy I’ll be your guide into the glorious darkness, and enchant you like a taste of sin Unleash the tempted beast, chant theron in words of blazing scorn Grant me my dark desires, strengthened through the power of Satan Take pleasure in the torment of the wretched and rejoice in the delight of the flesh Behold the face of Satan and walk the fields of erotic fire Hunt the heavens... Godless temples beckon Through gleaming scapes of horrid nightmare Gathered between symbols and signs A glow of new light is born out of the night Give into your lust and carnal desires - In twisted blood-dripping ecstasy In the name of Satan - I lead you into temptation |

3. | The Insight and the Catharsis (live) | 07:10 | Show lyrics |
Passenger on confessional course Unlock with the key you behold within Repair the shadow of your mind And come awake "Oh, dreadful angel of mine Enrich me with the vastness of being Rigid father, teach me how to comprehend I’ll commit myself to understand To be faithful and the instrument So that the ones with blindfold can see what i have seen That there is nothing inbetween For I am the accomplice..." Aghast and tender, indulged in sin Embraced by loneliness, legions who grin I blunder into the realms of slumber I collide with the obscure And see the last fraction of light go by Plundering the sanity from the insane And providing appearances in black Carefully swept in decadent spheres But faces in this world always remain darkened In circles of dominance, emotional deeps unite Fiction and transcendence woven together In the essence of purity lies wisdom Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions What more do you need of proof Human hands conforming cloven hoofs For I know the secrets and lies behind all truths Knowlege is power and the power is mine It’s all mine So let the children come to me And share the limitless ways to infinity Escape death and disease And behold youth and vitality |

Ride the vortex winds with the beast inside Cast down all memories from a past and future world The cynic icons and the cryptic writings As a picturesque creation in force and spirit Against their reason and will, it is time Give darkness it’s passion plea The venomous tongue The inevitable poison Paralyze the angels Freeze the forgiven Baptize in fire Unleash the devil at heart Unleash the maelstrom mephisto [chorus:] So sinner, mourn well Make all the swans suffer in hell The maelstrom of the mephisto left the trace To revel and feast in undelivered grace Pledged to judgmental arrogance in Drawn principles of ignorant falsehood To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself A tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep In the dimness surrounding the towers of the castle Where the ravens spread their wings out wide Dwell in depths of the darker self at any shore of infinity And watch the relentless paint the soil black What is being formed echoes throughout eternity As the painter chooses color no more Hold your shadows close when the comedy is over As the days of mourning seem to be the days of joy Fragments fell from the sky in order to penetrate the eyes A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies:lies |

In massing darkness we stand united Raging above inferior sheeps A convoy of souls swept into the night Hearts strengthened with black fire passion In us is fulfilled the prophecy of satan Evolution of the inner shrine In us is mantained the revelation of satan Innocence brought to an end In honour of thy unearthly creation We bring forth thy divine form Vanity throughout any conceptions Blazed and bound for the days are coming Infernal madness,unholy ascendance Christian death abound in mouring perversion Cherished sacred icons torn to pieces They’ll chase the serpent in everlasting nightmare Disharmonic illusions of strings bending loose Wrapped,penetrating skin Listen to the music of their agony Eyes made of glass,mirrors within |

Oh, look at those lifeless leaves All their precious pride is taken away A lost creation for a graven image Trembling of nothing but their own fear (chorus:) On behalf of water made to wine Elements of deception must entwine Righteous greed and derangement divine Vacuum is given to the blind To surrender to a faith so fake To not comprehend while you’re awake Thrive on your deity for heaven’s sake Do loose your battle before actual birth For some sheep need the company of a shepherd To face the scorn of the earth Existential parasite drama across the lands What a relief never bother the why’s Investing illusions and folding hands The passion for mankind’s ignorance feeding you lies All those naked faces, empty shells Procreation of the mind put to rest Crippled and caged, anaesthesia adjust The lambs of slaughter preoccupied in disgust |

1. | Allegiance | 05:50 | Show lyrics |
Cuddled through a cold womb he was, pitch black and without sunshine rays. Hell patiently awaiting him on blood spilled soil, a noble grief stirred heart always ready to die. In sinister systematisation submission is golden as an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed. He was like an object that is being processed, a force-fed destructor ready for abomination. The vast solitude in him witnessed it all, those self afflicting eyes and their fear painted faces. Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable. Hosts to oblivion exploring the darkest of places, stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck. Every day seemed like an endless night, when would he ever wake from this void? No other voice than his own will ever tell what was real and where he had been, what he had done. Did you bleed for the cause like the rest of his men, did you capture the euphoria? How it was like to kill such a necromantic force behind it all. They sure did battle till the end! But when came all the glory and who got spared to carry his body just pure death and too profound to be shared. Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory to serve the wastelands of insanity at the front. Life forever lost its innocence, never to see the light of day again. He pondered his last few steps into the realms of death with his hands bloodstained. Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? |

2. | Progenies of the Great Apocalypse | 05:17 | Show lyrics |
The battle raged on and on, fuelled by the venom of hatred for man. Consistently without the eyes to see by those who revel in sewer equally. We the prosperity of the future seal, cloaked by the thunders of the north wind. Born to capture the essence of the trails of our kind. Zero tolerance must be issued forth behind the enemy’s line. So it shall be written and so it shall be done. Zero tolerance must be issued forth behind the enemy’s line. So it shall be written and so it shall be done. The battle raged on and on, fuelled by the venom of hatred for man. Consistently without the eyes to see by those who revel in sewer equally. We the prosperity of the future seal, cloaked by the thunders of the north wind. Born to capture the essence of the trails of our kind. Discover and conceive the secret wealth and pass it unto your breed. Become your own congregation, measure the sovereignty of its invigoration. We who not deny the animal of our nature, we who yearn to preserve our liberation, we who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire, we who aspire to the truth and pursue its strength. Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare, fearing all the mediocrity that they possess? Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might, reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours? Consider the God we could be without the grace once and for all? Diminish the sub principle and leave its toxic trace once and for all? |

3. | Lepers Among Us | 04:44 | Show lyrics |
The commotion breeding the perverse for bloodbath is on your doorstep. A mass impending threat, the perfection of religion becoming our death. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay. Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here. End the road here! No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. Prove failure of faith! Enriched by the presence of its clarity darkness descends, everyone dies. No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. For wisdom aligns in our favor, illuminated before our eyes. Uncover a new beginning, the inevitable dawn, justice will be given where justice is due, and guide the righteous ones ack to the final resting ground to perceive the truly hellbound. Demonstrate superiority, a grand gesture of liberation need no judge or jury. Demons rate inferiority, scatter the remains of the prey. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay. Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here. Uncover a new beginning, the inevitable dawn, justice will be given where justice is due, and guide the righteous ones ack to the final resting ground to perceive the truly hellbound. |

Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. For den tro du besitter er intet annet enn avsmak og hovmod og din nøden etter viten er en overflod av hån og skjend, smerten i mitt hjerte er ikke tørste etter himmelsk legeme. Ei er det sviktende søken etter englemakt det er ilden og den brenner det er bare det at do skjemmer for den. Ta del i skyldens skygge behag din sjel med syndens under for hvor er vel do når lampen slukkes. Men døden kommer ei med vårt bud gjenklang fra den prektiges arv vil innfri det endelige forderv. Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. Bring dom over andre en ditt eget hode der do gjemmer din skam i lovsang så skal do få smake frukten av din egen bortgang. Som en flokk av helveds opphav og forvaltere av foraktens sønn parerer vi deres list med avskyens prakt med. Beviset på vår tunge byrde ligger deres sinn i åndenød skamfert tilbake uten makt. Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. |

5. | For the World to Dictate Our Death | 04:46 | Show lyrics |
Let us sit back and watch death and destruction’s devotees revel, let us sit back and witness innocent semen being poured. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. Reason faithfully defiles on bloodstained hands where graceful motion are lost arts. There are only battles to be lost in the kingdoms of the blind. For those who seek salvation in the dust of the earth will only find wrath in the sands of time. Engulfed by the desert we taste death in the dry heat. Disciples of prophetic ablution had sworn to let the skeptics bleed for great are their love for warfare, henchmen of the disastrous creed. Henchmen of the disastrous creed! Watch us all celebrate in their name, the lambs of our time being slain, awaiting the final perdition Awaiting the final perdition! Defeat against all and everything for whatever adorned righteousness, justice never wait for the guilty to speak the truth. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. For mankind so hated the world that it gave all it’s begotten sons and daughters that whoever believed the lie to perish and receive everlasting Hell. |

6. | Blood Hunger Doctrine | 04:39 | Show lyrics |
Man and his faithful ethics intoxicated by the fruits of the earth. Diabolical fanatikism, so cold and grim, the perfect perversion, bestiality incarnate. As instruments of torture and leaving no room for sympathy We bring forth the monstrous birth to the worlds light. As all great art is made from suffering and so are we. Good in nature but evil by our own free will. Incestuously created by the will to kill, time is here to walk the final abyss march bound to the force of the last holocaust. Pour free the gifts of grace and slaughter the entire human race. Not permitted to redemption when pain rises high in purgatory. A reality so convincingly justified feeding from Death Cult’s gown. We bring forth monstrous birth to the worlds light. |

7. | Allehelgens død i Helveds rike | 05:35 | Show lyrics |
Uren er aktens utfoldelse og tanke uten hemning i ukjent ekstase, ei et tilbørlig ønske om å avle avkom for Gud frivillig nedsmittet og gjennomsyret i kjødelig sødme fengslet av logn og ulydighet. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Visdom berikes fritt i dyrets mangfold når himmerikets salige urett og svulstige barmhjertighet vekker forkastelse ved vårt åsyn. Gnisten har slått flamme og piner i pestilensens vilje. De ynkelige slaver knelende i skam, besvangret med skyld og miskunn. Ætlinger som sverger eden med troskapsløfte om å ugjøre freden a styrte himmelslavers velvære og triumfere i kulde til Dyrets ære. Vredens beger renner over I forherdelse fra opprør djevlers svovelvind glødende, fra regionen av Belial’s barn avlet hinsides harmens trossende tind. De siste tegn fra Kristi tapende engler brenner ubønnhørlig i ravnens ild. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Smertefull og blek er døden med blodstyrtning fra lysets gild. Dødens fremmøte sparer ingen det fromme liv kveles av egne tunger. Den kosteligste jord blir pyntet med fattigdom og hunger. Utspente vinger over mørkets dype svelg satt til verden for å meske seg med pest og død fråtsende i synd og hor. Overmakten fra polens bastarder nærer behag i syndens hierarki et evig liv i paradis er fullkommenhet i Satans dynasti. |

Are you born from the abyss and have you sought the creed that draped the shadows of your own thoughts? Is your heart mesmerized by the fire that burns forevermore and do the secrets from the flames hold the mysteries over which you preside? Reveal the infantile wound and regain strength, free your spirit from those who lead in praise. Recollect the anger and the hate for not shall your morals dissolve in pity. Righteous warmth accompanied by deceitful tongues. Stay away from processed promises, let them fear what you know. Let them fear what you know! A malicious smile on their lips to keep us all under control, now it’s time to rise and demand our due. The whores and their illusions left us bitter and cold. Drench them in their own poison, spit back the scorn of their ways. Out win their defect morality and the words they pray, consolidate the troops and expose the lies in their eyes. The ones deprived from the ecstasy that binds the neglect. Better lead than being led, earn any victory. For you stand superior above the plague and it’s mass, the burden of proof rests on your shoulders. Are you born from the abyss and have you sought the creed that draped the shadows of your own thoughts? Is your heart mesmerized by the fire that burns forevermore and do the secrets from the flames hold the mysteries over which you preside? |

9. | Eradication Instincts Defined | 07:12 | Show lyrics |
As mortal manufactured waste and part of the commonly infected, you prevent the ones worthy the gift of life to surface on once a prosperous soil. As superficially bewildered whores and succumbing to fictional truth, you are taught to preserve and profit the life institutional lie. You are taught to preserve and profit the life institutional lie. You worthless piece of shit may we all depart from this world and dissolve into nothingness, compassion will not be granted when life’s value is point below zero. Human depravity is at our disposal as the perfect tool to destroy mankind, the worst kind of them all. Modern times’ ignorance, the world disease. Appeal to death of every man, a living hate smoldering abyss. Nurtured through centuries with quietly exercised wrath seeks the easiest way to the feed the engine, praising the final bloodbath. Uncertainty and guilt will no longer endorse our fate. There will be no remorse, we kill to kill again, killing all. Go ahead, end it all, we deserve no better as a forever unblessed detonation. The great plutonium chord fulminates blinding the eyes of creation. Cutting off all life support sweeping away existence instantly Iced desolate ruins linger, leaving traces of our lovely humanity. As mortal manufactured waste and part of the commonly infected, you prevent the ones worthy the gift of life to surface on once a prosperous soil. Uncertainty and guilt will no longer endorse our fate. There will be no remorse, we kill to kill again, killing all. |

10. | Unorthodox Manifesto | 08:50 | Show lyrics |
The memories far beyond the reckoning have begun to lurk in the distance like visual objects dearly known, the grace of the Devils hands. As they walk with me like a medium when I choose and require a burn-out. Resting in expanded malicious force, drained for murderous weapons. Knowing where you stand in this magnitude of this thought. Looking at the spirit of fire and flames, enduring on the throne of the black heart. The memories far beyond the reckoning have begun to lurk in the distance like visual objects dearly known, the grace of the Devils hands. As they walk with me like a medium when I choose and require a burn-out. Resting in expanded malicious force, drained for murderous weapons. Knowing where you stand in this magnitude of this thought. Looking at the spirit of fire and flames, enduring on the throne of the black heart. Knowing where you stand in this magnitude of this thought! A bringer of evil I am, and therefore also a carrier of light as I use this focus through the dark and face the sunshine in the dead end. Limitations do not exist when you are ahead of the crowd, with the art of confidence I reign at the throne of my soul. The value of this darkness unwinds, travelling the other path. A hidden triumph but obvious to the strong and wise. By understanding this reality I remain in a twice-coloured cloud with feet connected solid in the ground, and thus I get peace of mind. And thus I get peace of mind! A bringer of evil I am, and also a carrier of light as I use this focus through the dark and face the sunshine in the dead end... |

11. | Heavenly Perverse | 06:32 | Show lyrics |
Devoted to your own opiate in escapades from discontentment. Are you shutting off from the outside world to reflect on your mind shallow gutter? For this is your empire, this is your intrigue. Here you own them all, here you seal the deed. Contaminated from the spree of self salvation to keep the fever flowing in the veins, prominently manipulating Heaven and Hell. Does your sophistically discreet interlude maintain stories not to be revealed? In your search for redemption greed and lies become the savior. Through the lecherous eyes disgust withstand for are not these the windows to your soul? Fatherly fornication of sweat lips in dismay repeatedly unlocking the vaults to the holocaust. The dormant prodigy seeks its reason for rebirth but it will never, never gain the strength. A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Sacramental suicide amidst the flow of virgin vine. The only way to comfort the defeat! A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Regrets can no longer find it’s ways, streams of innocent bitter tears flowing down the drain, mirrored in the haze of a partaker’s eyes. |

Gjennom tidløse morkne drømmer I fuktig høstvind over langstrakte vidder Mot Sorias fjellheim Kommer jeg, en fandens ridder Glatt er runen på det høye fjell Gnidd vekk av regn og vind Dragende kraft av ondskap lurer Her ved trollheims muldne grind Fortumlet av dette mørke byggverk Med røvet gull fra lysets pakt Brukt som spott til å senke Deres murer Vi grunder over dette riket Så vakkert fylt med tidløs skumring Som en stjerne i tomsindighetens juv Det bringer frem en nattlig mimring Over tanker fra en vissen tid Drott til himmels er det reist Av tidens endeløse svarte minner Stormblåst ut av det sorte indre Har bergflint rullet fra mo til kneis Undring og angst samler seg i natten I mørket som ruver om spiret For ingen dag kan veien Intet lys kan luske frem Der sorg har beseiret all glede Og bygd et land på menneskets jord Fylt med iskald prakt og heder |

9. | Vinder fra en ensom grav | 04:00 | Show lyrics |
En høyreist ridder vender hjem Over himmel til himmel på en selvgjort bro Fra den endelige tvekamp mot lysets prest For nå til sist å gå til ro Se der i fjellbrisens indre Hvor dets liv har søkt ly for en sol Som omsider vil mørkne med den evige natt Og hindre en verden i å blomstre og gro Se der i øyets satire Hvor rester av godhet jages på flukt Og vindes vekk i en åpen grav Til den siste tenning av lys er slukket Med kraftige hugg i menneske skaller Frydes den rytter i årvåken dis Himmelhøyt - vandrende over sin stjerne Skottende på en jord dekket i is Over utallige faldne menn Som sådde livets spirende korn Streifer han vekk fra den siste krig Den mektigste fyrste, den blodige torn |

Have I not been too long in your shadows of invention and creation? As I rightfully behold the flesh, fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away. My word and world holds ground and is real! Your world is like floods of poisoned water, a language spoken with spit from different tongues. It all seems like an eternity This battle between us two. Good and evil, me and you! Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. My word and world holds ground and is real! Your world is like floods of poisoned water, a language spoken with spit from different tongues. You can never corrupt me again! Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. You can never corrupt me again! I protect every man guilty of sin, the ultimate sin being me. The vapor from the plague that infested my mind, body and soul obscured my view from wisdom. The mist that had me wonder in resentment cleared and troubles me no more. Have I not been too long in your shadows of invention and creation? As I rightfully behold the flesh, fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away. |

Passenger on confessional course Unlock with the key you behold within Repair the shadow of your mind And come awake "Oh, dreadful angel of mine Enrich me with the vastness of being Rigid father, teach me to comprehend I’ll commit myself to understand To be faithful and the instrument So that the ones with blindfold can see what i have seen That there is nothing inbetween For i am the accomplice..." Aghast and tender, indulged in sin Embraced by loneliness, legions who grin I blunder into the realms of slumber I collide with the obscure And see the last fraction of light go by Plundering the sanity from the insane And providing appearances in black Carefully swept in decadent spheres But faces in this world always remain darkened In circles of dominance, emotional deeps unite Fiction and transcendence woven together In the essence of purity lies wisdom Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions What more do you need of proof Human hands conforming clooven hoofs For i know the secrets and lies behind all truths Knowlege is power and the power is mine It’s all mine So let the children come to me And share the limitless ways to infinity Escape death and disease And behold youth and vitality |

Langt...der borte i mørket Gjennom tretopper der månelys driver Langt...der borte i all tåke Inn gjennom min sjel den sorte angst river På de mosegrodde steiner de seg viser Når nattemørket har senket seg over Ekkoene...fra deres grufulle jamring Endeløst...du kan høre I horisonten langt vekk Skimtes den sigende skådde Horder av ild rider månelyset i flokk Ved daggry de samles ved en bortgjemt ådde Den iskalde snøen Har kommet Denne gang I evig fokk |

Have I not Been too long in your shadows of invention and creation? As I rightfully behold the flesh Fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away My word and world holds ground and is real Your world is like floods of poisoned water A language spoken with spit from different tongues It all seems like an eternity This battle between us two "Good and evil" Me and you Time has come to step up And take back what you took from me My word and world holds ground and is real Your world is like floods of poisoned water A language spoken with spit from different tongues You can never corrupt me again Your world is like floods of poisoned water A language spoken with spit from different tongues You can never corrupt me again I protect every man guilty of sin The ultimate sin being me The vapor from the plague That infested my mind, body and soul Obscured my view from wisdom The mist that had me wonder in resentment cleared And troubles me no more |

Daylight has finally reached it’s end As evenfall strikes into the sky Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight Sickening souls cry out in pain Whispering voices summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace Feel the gloom of restless spirits Hear the screams from the Mouring Palace Feel the doom of haunting chants Eternal is their lives in misery Eternal is their lives in grief Abandoned in a void of nothingness A chain of anger, a fetter of despair In this garden of depraved beings This unsacred place of helpless ones Satan blessed the creatures Inswathed them in endless night Whispering voices, summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness |

Infected by invalid behaviour While capturing the stench of divine putrefaction Confess to slavery for the world saviour Give praise and inhale the corruption (chorus:) The Enfeebled provides the fool The Disabled provides the tool The Apathetic demands the affection To those suffering from their own satisfaction Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague Testify today´s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter The decrepit innocence of your correctness and well-chosen Elicits the source of the need for immediate forgiveness Submit to no grace but the spiteful of your disease Apply to join the unlimited disgrace and a settlement in the skies And turn the confusion among your children into self-stimulation The incarnation of your prostitution, the true Evil in disguise With the ignorance from your cross as the witness The truth of your tragedy make you justice In your mirror the high spirit of kindness Looks like malice Condemnation of life by the living dead What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core How unfortunate I am, cursed to spend time on a battle already won The shame that will be guarding your grave says it all Retreat to the crypt and make it worthwhile Recall my sins furthermore but still be watching yours with a smile |

Are you born from the abyss And have you sought the creed That drape the shadows Of your own thought? Is your heart mesmerized By the fire that burns forevermore And do the secrets from the flames Hold the mysteries over which you preside? Reveal the infantile wound and regain strength Free your spirit from those who lead in praise Recollect the anger and the hate For not shall your morals dissolve in pity Righteous warmth accompanied By deceitful tongues Stay away from processed promises Let them fear what you know A malicious smile on their lips To keep us all under control Now it’s time to rise and demand our due The whores and their illusions left us bitter and cold Drench them in their own poison, spit back the scorn of their ways Out win their defect morality, and the words they pray Consolidate the troops and expose the lies in their eyes The ones deprived from the ecstasy that binds the neglect Better lead than being led, earn any victory For you stand superior above the plague and it’s mass The burden of proof rests on your shoulders (repeat 1st and 2nd verse) |

Incarnated marvels simplified Effects from such a disconsolate kind Impotence of the once so perfect living Erase and rewind Stand rigid for the next battle Peace means reloading your guns The love for life is all hatred in disguise A carnival creation with masks undone In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as virulent truth Confidently dawned, to pick the best of enemies An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate (chorus:) With the stigma feasting upon your flesh I wish you well Thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our planet hell What on earth possessed you Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface And enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect With such bedevilled faith in good, subsequently trusting evil Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin Left are the kings of the carnival creation Carrying out the echoes of the fallen Sense the withering eternity as it fades away The ultimate graceless voyage of all times Only death will be guarding your angels, silently Cripples joining arms in clamour Institutionalized for the rebirth, the herd will be hunted |

Passenger on confessional course Unlock with the key you behold within Repair the shadow of your mind And come awake "Oh, dreadful angel of mine Enrich me with the vastness of being Rigid father, teach me to comprehend I’ll commit myself to understand To be faithful and the instrument So that the ones with blindfold can see what i have seen That there is nothing inbetween For i am the accomplice..." Aghast and tender, indulged in sin Embraced by loneliness, legions who grin I blunder into the realms of slumber I collide with the obscure And see the last fraction of light go by Plundering the sanity from the insane And providing appearances in black Carefully swept in decadent spheres But faces in this world always remain darkened In circles of dominance, emotional deeps unite Fiction and transcendence woven together In the essence of purity lies wisdom Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions What more do you need of proof Human hands conforming clooven hoofs For i know the secrets and lies behind all truths Knowlege is power and the power is mine It’s all mine So let the children come to me And share the limitless ways to infinity Escape death and disease And behold youth and vitality |

The core principle of freedom Is the only notion to obey The formulae of evolution and sin Leading the way The rebirth is near completion As we slowly awaken from slumber The malpractice of the spirit ends GATEWAYS! When the gift is once again attained GATEWAYS! No rules or restraints are longer valid GATEWAYS! When the ancient future is reclaimed GATEWAYS! It’s all there for the eyes that can see The blind ones will always suffer in secrecy For it is the omen Of what lies submerged - breeding Untouched within us - bleeding To receive the light that shines in darkness The light that shines forevermore Be the broken or the breaker Be the giver or the undertaker Unlock and open the doors Be the healer or the faker The keys are in your hands Realize you are your own sole creator Of your own masterplan |

2. | Born Treacherous | 05:02 | Show lyrics |
With defiance and resistance I burn the bridges and their names. Will I ever comprehend my own spells and games? Let me keep my world, let me have my slaves. They all do wonders for me so I can leave things be. Let me keep my world as I’m too blind to see. When I lay in bed at night wishing well, when I pray for recovery feeling Hell. Suffocating in my own filth with no fresh air to inhale. With defiance and resistance I burn the bridges and their names. Will I ever comprehend my own spells and games? Born treacherous... Insanity keeps me away and free from the core of responsibility but once the pace quickens I’ll be derived from myself in total mind captivity. Let me keep my world, let me have my slaves. Let me keep my world, let me have my slaves. They all do wonders for me so I can leave things be. Let me keep my world as I’m too blind to see. Born treacherous... |

3. | Gateways | 05:10 | Show lyrics |
The core principle of freedom is the only notion to obey, the formulae of evolution and sin leading the way. The rebirth is near completion as we slowly awaken from slumber. As we slowly awaken from slumber! Gateways... The malpractice of the spirit ends when the gift is once again attained, no rules or restraints are longer valid when the ancient future is reclaimed. Gateways... No rules or restraints are longer valid when the ancient future is reclaimed. It’s all there for the eyes that can see, the blind ones will always suffer in secrecy for it is the omen of what lies submerged breeding untouched within us bleeding. The core principle of freedom is the only notion to obey, the formulae of evolution and sin leading the way. The rebirth is near completion as we slowly awaken from slumber to receive the light that shines in darkness, the light that shines forevermore. Forevermore! Be the broken or the breaker, be the giver or the undertaker. Unlock and open the doors, be the healer or the faker. The keys are in your hands, realize you are your own sole creator of your own masterplan. |

4. | Chess with the Abyss | 04:08 | Show lyrics |
Old dreams return Disillusioned I yearn Am I buried beneath sand and clay? The caress of cold soil With limbs crippled to the coil Locked inside a nightmare womb Tarnished and grief stricken Emptiness within a void Longing for the sun to shine To discourage the demonoid Salvation! Darkness reborn! We seem to keep fading away Holding on to that last final sway A doctrine of self salvation Darkness reborn on resurrection day? Stagnating in dead waters While circling above the surface Of the deep pale desert sea Cutting that other life of lines Salvation! Wish we’d never met Salvation! And rather gone our separate ways Salvation! All times spent together Salvation! Are the darkest of days Salvation! Darkness reborn! |

Forces of the northern light - Assemble Forces of the northern night - Call to arms Summoned by the secrets of sacrifice Meeting destiny on the road we took to avoid it As we only compete with ourselves Left is that of a confident union What bridge to cross and what bridge to burn Deceit is everywhere you turn We weed out the weak and their weep Evolving - Compulsively Behaving - Inconsistently Yet the pulse is pounding Restoration is the name For those who are left in the game Invocation in the name of our flame Dimmu Borgir! The deviants seek but one place Dimmu Borgir! Forward onward march! Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not With trickery and treat Enemies will face defeat No place for dreamers As our formation is lava Fire is with or against you And so it burns Constant retribution calling From the shadows of three consecutive sixes Merging with the cold dark vacuum Talent is worthless unless exercised "When the world is turning You’ll find your true nature When the first is last and the last is first You’ll be where you choose to be" Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not Fire is with or against you And so it burns |

Moving forward with silence and rapid pace Ritualist! Since the horror dawned upon our immediate race Ritualist! The veil has once again been extracted Ritualist! From the mist that dimmed our eyes |

Synthetic residue touched upon Scars and wounds frown upon While other wounds are closing Stars and losers reassemble Within thy own abyss Sought through internal pyre and wind Not ready to remember where to begin For another day is yet to come Before the night takes us home What will remain What will leave trace While travelling through Time and space Arcane perfection Arcane illumination Arcane perfection Sweeps away darkness of the old ways Arcane illumination Welcomes the birth of another Haunting visions dawn upon me While time is standing still Lost far beyond the imaginary Out of reach for the soul |

Through moors and mists of deception The uninitiated are conjoined Illusive bliss feeds obsession A feeble orientation is provoked Inflammatory bonds will be broken Being the shepherd no more Yearning for that ever glowing token In ongoing lore Images appear before my eyes At any given time Burdened bearing all their lies Leaping laughter and secret smiles Inflammatory bonds will be broken Being the shepherd no more Yearning for that ever glowing token In ongoing lore The treasure lies not in regression But in reaching the levels of becoming That harboured within us for centuries Centuries of long lost knowing Spirit and matter defined Spirit and matter refined The upper planes accessed Insight and co-alliance addressed Spirit and matter defined Spirit and matter refined |

Dare not to inflict upon my wishes Dare not to obstruct upon my path Dare not to pretend to lick my wounds When all it means is opening another Purity comes with rebirth Reassigned through the slit Spawned out of the shadows The light is once again lit False regrets Deepest of despair False visions Reservoir of grief False regrets Whatever presence False visions That graced my spirit Whiffs of clarity And universal understanding Come and go I’m too young and too old To continue this worthless fight I’ve seen through the darkness To understand the value of light Though I seek validity From the Ides of March I watch darkness Open its jaws Whatever presence That graced my spirit Is for whomever I choose to inherit |

By the light of the moon And the beings of the night A curse has been laid upon us To seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces By the power of death And the shadow of the reaper A call has been brought upon us To complete the infinite fall of heaven Without the wit or will to end this journey We continue travelling towards our faith Harvesting helpless Christian spirits Raping the sanctity of saints The heavenly father is stretching his hand Pathetically begging for mercy We spit and piss on his sacred flesh As we breathe the breath of the unholy For with the sign of the pentagram Hellfire rage is for us to come As we shall wander the pit Unhallowed by the infernal one We are forever captured By the embrace of death |

2. | Dimmu Borgir - The Promised Future Aeons | 06:50 | Show lyrics |
Erotic and dreamlike still in its mortal disguise A passionate ritual in the ruined gardens theatre The painted angels - Shadowed high above Once they gathered to worship at the picture of me Like a whisper where there are no words Appears the perplexed - The statue of might In the cradle of the next generation A spiraling ruin - Lost in the gathering dust ...the faces you saw in the withering garden I witnessed the flickering - made to look like stone Quivering like little figures lost in broken flames Never to forget again the names carved in horrid flesh Those words drawn in water - Become our legacy of fantasies Burn the pictures So unexpected in this strange deserted place Once opened its secrets would become the world Its attributes would continue to unfold forever "Through the fabric of the promised future aeons I offer this suffering of my unwanted father..." ...and the stars did wander - Separated in the forbidden universe |

As mortal manufactured waste And part of the commonly infected You prevent the ones worthy the gift of life To surface on once a prosperous soil As superficially bewildered whores And succumbing to fictional truth You are taught to preserve and profit The life institutional lie You worthless piece of shit May we all depart from this world And dissolve into nothingness Compassion will not be granted When life’s value Is point below zero Human depravity is at our disposal As the perfect tool to destroy mankind The worst kind of them all Modern times’ ignorance, the world disease Appeal to death of every man A living hate smoldering abyss Nurtured through centuries with quietly exercised wrath Seeks the easiest way to the feed the engine Praising the final bloodbath Uncertainty and guilt Will no longer endorse our fate There will be no remorse, we kill to kill again Killing all Go ahead end it all, we deserve no better As a forever unblessed detonation The great plutonium chord fulminates Blinding the eyes of creation Cutting off all life support Sweeping away existence instantly Iced desolate ruins linger Leaving traces of our lovely humanity [repeat 1st and 6th verse] |

My descent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My descent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair Evoked and entertained through centuries Wrathful and sullen -- Dormant still The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastard sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice. My descent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair Reconcile not with the fear of the snake But embrace it as your own Inject its venom into your veins And replant the seed that gives growth Still shrouded in mystery Until you arise above perception A veil of ignorance is in motion Continuing throughout generations (A veil of ignorance is in motion Continuing throughout multiple generations Let me be the one that deliver you from the deceit And back into perfect accordance with the laws of nature) The snake is notoriously tempting But the snake is fair What is worse than not knowing? To live or disappear? The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastard sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice |

Maybe [Scarecrow (Tobias Sammet):] Fallen angel - waiting for the prey The devil has come to take a maimed away Penetration of the twisted mind The evil is out for the weak and blind I can feel it in your voice Ever so sweet, no Do I really have a choice? No, no, no! [Mephistopheles (Jorn Lande):] Oh, you burn your feet on unholy ground You roam the barren wicked plains abound In evil eyes and evil speak Abound in all you evil freaks When you say it’s all divine and meant to be What about your flesh and blood and defiers like me? Their evil eyes are looking down on you And those who don’t are losing sight of you Face the rage to chase away The specter of disgrace and shame Withered roses dying on the ledge A withered dreamer standing on the edge You dream of love—wake up to pain You’re better off to join in my game She’ll be better off to cry contrite tears One day she’ll wonder why she had to let you disappear Oh dear [Both] Rise to fame — your time has come Time will come to take the sun Make your claim - you’re drawn to the sound Time has come — you’re leaving ground Rise to fame - the flight of the crow Time will come - cross the line Your time has come - for the crow to fly away [Mephistopheles] It’s a flight to hell Can you hear the bell? The devil has come To take your soul away It’s a flight to hell alright I’m a stranger I’m a changer And I’m danger Fallen angel Waiting for the prey |

[Gabriel] Days had come, winters had gone, and we gamboled like siblings in Paradise. I was your knight, holding you tight as a brother when I saw your crying eyes. Time went by and we had to say goodbye. Staring up to the clouds above Children - so little and sad. Hoping the saints could help one day Lead us together again. Holding the key to the alley of dreams still in hands. Time telling me to say farewell but I knew that I would fight hell and I knew: We will go for another time we can see, for another time we’ll be free, for no more farewell. [Anna] Stepbrother tell me where have you been when they brought me to this godforsaken place. Sign of the cross - they took me away for healing with herbs by the way of grace. Now I wait for the day to feed the flames. [Gabriel] I have been caught in a cage of despair. My heart as a monk’s cell so empty and bare. But no holy water can make me forget you again... Time telling me to say farewell but I knew that I would fight hell and I knew: We will go for another time we can see, for another time we’ll be free, for no more farewell. [Lugaid] No farewell could be the last one. If you long to meet again... |

11. | Sonata Arctica - Paid in Full | 04:26 | Show lyrics |
I was nowhere near, ready when all it ended. So I hoped we could find a new day, cannot live without you. You gave me the chance, time and again, in vain. Now my feelings for you, every tear, every smile, paid in full. Break the chain, but no longer can I take the pain. It’s hard for me to love myself right now. I’ve waited, hated, blamed it all on you. Needed to be strong, yet I was always too weak. So I can only blame myself, for this state we are in. I will take what you have for me now, if it’s not too late. Did you change? I did too! Love can grow from the last grain. It’s hard for me to love myself right now, I’ve waited, hated, blamed it all on you. I need you less and less, every day feeds this moral decay. Yet I have grown to love you even more. I fall back and I turn another cheek. You mouth the words, you’re not ready to speak. You’re scared of me now, I never had a clue, that I’d become so much stronger than you. I will take what you have for me now, if it’s not too late. If you like, I will leave, I will not miss the last train again. It’s hard for me to love myself right now. I’ve waited, hated, blamed it all on you. It’s hard for me to love your face right now. I’m waiting, hating, needing being me. I need you less and less, every day leads us farther away, from that moment. It’s hard for me to hate myself right now, finally I understanding me. One day we may have a new me’s and you’s, but first I need to learn to love me too. |

12. | Sonata Arctica - Shamandalie | 03:54 | Show lyrics |
In good old times, remember my friend. Moon was so bright, and so close to us sometimes. We were still blind and deaf, what a bliss? Painting the world of our own, for our own eyes now? Can we ever have what we had then? Friendship unbreakable! Love means nothing to me, without blinking an eye. I’d fade, if so needed, all those moments with you. If I had you beside me. One cloudy day, we both lost the game? We drifted so far and away. Nothing is quite, as cruel as a child. Sometimes we break, the unbreakable, sometimes? And we’ll never have what we had then. Friendship unbroken. Love means nothing to me, without blinking an eye. I’d fade, if so needed, all those moments with you. If I had you beside me now. I was unable to cope with what you said, sometimes we need to be cruel to be kind. Child that I was, could not see the reason. Feelings I had were but sham and a lie? I have never forgotten your smile. Your eyes, oh, Shamandalie. Time went by, many memories died. I’m writing this down to ease my pain. You saw us always clearer than me, how we were never meant to be. Love denied meant the friendship would die. Now I have seen the light! These memories make me cry. Can I ever have what I had then? Friendship unbroken! Love means nothing to me, without blinking an eye. I’d fade, if so needed, all those moments with you. See the world with my wide open eyes. Friendship got broken, there’s no other for me, like the one of my childhood days. Can you forgive me? The love got better off me, on that one day back in old times. |

13. | Sonata Arctica - Fly with the Black Swan | 05:10 | Show lyrics |
Cry for help! Once I got caught in an avalanche, I must have died! When a black swan, flew to the rescue and cried. An offer I could not refuse, now I’m working on the other side. Well, I flew with the bird then, we flew all night! I got to see my prison, from a thousand feet high. Buy me a drink, and I tell you ’bout the black swan. Must keep those black wings folded, until the time is right, to find the one whom I can steal, a soul from, to buy more time. Must keep my secrets untold, until the wrongs are right, the only one I could deceive, I buy my time. Need you to fly on the black swan. The date is set, we all must face it. Door to door, seeking salvation. I must, for die I wish not! My hopes stay afloat when you give in to the... Silver lining, sharp and so cold. Anger fades into a vague smile. You see, I’m ready to do it for everyone. I stabbed you in the back, who will save you now? Don’t worry, I’ve done this before, it’ll hurt like Hell and leave you sore. No use escaping, hold on to your ticket of gold, and close your eyes. One day I know you will sell your soul, and trade all you are for silver and gold. You’ll gets an odd advice from a stranger. Take it from me, with love. Once I was in love with someone like you, engaged to be whole. Got torn out of your memories, covered in snow. I need to find a way, to pass on the gift I once received. I’m ready to face it, I’ll take my chances. If I am returning to the deep dark snow grave, so be it. I should not rest now, but forever! I’ll feed the ferryman’s creed, with an empty promise for my lost soul. Must keep those black wings folded, until the darkest night. I steal a soul from you to buy me some time. Pouring boiling water on a solid frozen flower. Black nailed finger of the creator. Must keep those black wings folded, until the time is right, to find the one whom I can steal, a soul from, to buy more time. Must keep my secrets untold, until the wrongs are right, the only one I could deceive, I buy my time. Need you to fly with the black swan. |

14. | Sonata Arctica - Deathaura | 07:58 | Show lyrics |
I: The Premonition "Remember when I told you, how my kin is different in some ways? And how you should not fall in love, with someone like me, anyway. Between the lines, people see signs. When they feel the sear, every day’s fear. And one night their torches find the girl without a name. And the one who has her love is no more safe. And until I get my peace, I’m but a shade..." II: The Witch-hunt The sun lit the White Mountain’s snow covered peaks. There I see you, amongst the good people suffering. "She is the one, the unwanted, decidedly so, because she makes our children cry. It’s a fact, she is exactly that! A harbinger of Death, from the world of witchcraft! And she’s feeding them cakes, and her ale to this innocent boy. And her magic brings dismay." III: Exposing The Heathen "I hear her in the wind, the bane of our town. Come with me, father! I’m to expose a heathen." In my home town, no one’s safe now. Young love’s been forbidden, for five-fold kisses. My only love had to die. IV: Envy "Your crops are all flourishing, so what’s the catch? I know what you are, the new evil unhatched. As sure as the dawn, they will hear what I know! And recognize you, and you’ll be cleansed too." V: The Fear For the good, trusting people in town, in their fear stricken hearts, seeing skyclad’s a sign like the Deathaura. Every night, so painful’s the memory, of love in the dark. One wheel of the year, ends their short lives in fear. "I hear her in the wind, the bane of our town. Come with me, father! The heathen is exposed." VI: The Grudge In the age of burning times, you saved my life. The blaze grew ever higher. I was your cunning man, hiding in the light. Now your land shall go sour. Your own fears will destroy everything. Envy consumes all and "thou shall not!" Though it hurts, I must tell you: "I am truly the one behind it all." VII: The Curse In the hands of time we all will die. The dead of the night will devour your child. The creation of beliefs you’ve been fed, the fear, the unknown, the poison loved by Death. VIII: The Flames In the cool of the night air, flames purify minds, where almost anyone could be the next. "Unless morning finds all of them somehow, hexed." IX: Endless Inquisition -Instrumental- X: ...Together, Today, For All Eternity "I remember how you told me, your kin’s different on that sunny day? You made me smile, because I was just about, to say the same thing." So deeply entwined, love of a lifetime. But they paid someone to say, their torment has a name. And after all these years, we get to be together for all eternity. |

15. | Sonata Arctica - Juliet | 05:59 | Show lyrics |
These are my final lines, I’ve lived all my nine lives. My nights are over, cannot feel your heart anymore. I lived only trough you. My scar, my heart, my truth. I do not want to die, but no more can I love you! How hard it is to understand, my wish to die hand in hand. This night’s like a dream, you will be the last thing I will see. I hold your hand and close my eyes, all I love finally dies. Drank the poison most foul with you, but why do you smile? Don’t smile, don’t you smile! You’re supposed to wither away with me! So Juliette, please don’t smile. I’m paralysed and you are still alive. Life is but a long sad game! Drifting souls, avoiding shame. Two dead swans is all what we need, to pave the winding memory lane. No hellos, no bad goodbyes. Wailing distant, silent cries. You can live with my pain, it’s your own you cannot take. You played the game and lost, I wonder how you can, hold the cards for a dead man. The light and the clarity. Welcome change for the life in the darkness, sea of my sanity. Lost in the vanity. All I ever wanted was to be lost in you. My burden, the hatred. My own reality, mirrors and smoke. The final truth unfolds! Your reality mirrors my hopes, Where you will need me. They never find us again, once the trail has gone cold. They never find us again, once the trail has gone cold. I’m a restless soul, I’ll make the best ghost. All things good end into a... Minute of silence, I get myself in line. One minute of silence, to face my own demise. One minute of silence, this is not what I signed for. One minute of silence, you double-crossing, filthy whore. I sit with someone in the dark, so afraid to see it’s me again. You had a change of heart, now we’re all getting hurt. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my life again. Walk with me every curve, every bend. This promenade that seems to come to an end. You know what you meant to me, emptied the room in your life that I paid for. When I lost my sanity, I made a mess, I am now here to clean. It is too late to regret anything tonight. After what has come to light, you have played me for a fool, for all this time? The story may rewrite itself after I’m gone. One more breath, the day will dawn! How hard it is to understand, my wish to die hand in hand. These wounds stay open all night long, you are the last thing I will see. I lived only by you! My scar, my heart, my truth. My sole reason to die, there’s no life without you. These are my final lines, I’ve used all my nine lives. My life is over, cannot feel your heart anymore. I lived only by you! My scar, my heart, my truth. Have no reason to live, I can’t feel the love anymore. This is the end. Why? You’re closing my eyes... |

Can you remember remember my name As I flow through your life A thousand oceans I have flown And cold spirits of ice All my life I am the echo of your past I am returning the echo of a point in time Distant faces shine A thousand warriors I have known And laughing as the spirits appear All your life Shadows of another day And if you hear me talking on the wind You’ve got to understand We must remain Perfect Strangers I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow A strand of silver hanging through the sky Touching more than you see The voice of ages in your mind Is aching with the dead of the night Precious life (your tears are lost in falling rain) And if you hear me talking on the wind You’ve got to understand We must remain Perfect Strangers |

2. | Born Treacherous | 05:17 | Show lyrics |
With defiance and resistance I burn the bridges and their names Will I ever comprehend My own spells and games? Let me keep my world Let me have my slaves They all do wonders for me So I can leave things be Let me keep my world As I’m too blind to see When I lay in bed at night - Wishing well When I pray for recovery - Feeling hell Suffocating in my own filth With no fresh air to inhale Born treacherous! Insanity keeps me away and free From the core of responsibility But once the pace quickens I’ll be derived from myself In total mind captivity |

3. | Gateways | 05:28 | Show lyrics |
The core principle of freedom Is the only notion to obey The formulae of evolution and sin Leading the way The rebirth is near completion As we slowly awaken from slumber The malpractice of the spirit ends GATEWAYS! When the gift is once again attained GATEWAYS! No rules or restraints are longer valid GATEWAYS! When the ancient future is reclaimed GATEWAYS! It’s all there for the eyes that can see The blind ones will always suffer in secrecy For it is the omen Of what lies submerged - breeding Untouched within us - bleeding To receive the light that shines in darkness The light that shines forevermore Be the broken or the breaker Be the giver or the undertaker Unlock and open the doors Be the healer or the faker The keys are in your hands Realize you are your own sole creator Of your own masterplan |

Forces of the northern light - Assemble Forces of the northern night - Call to arms Summoned by the secrets of sacrifice Meeting destiny on the road we took to avoid it As we only compete with ourselves Left is that of a confident union What bridge to cross and what bridge to burn Deceit is everywhere you turn We weed out the weak and their weep Evolving - Compulsively Behaving - Inconsistently Yet the pulse is pounding Restoration is the name For those who are left in the game Invocation in the name of our flame Dimmu Borgir! The deviants seek but one place Dimmu Borgir! Forward onward march! Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not With trickery and treat Enemies will face defeat No place for dreamers As our formation is lava Fire is with or against you And so it burns Constant retribution calling From the shadows of three consecutive sixes Merging with the cold dark vacuum Talent is worthless unless exercised "When the world is turning You’ll find your true nature When the first is last and the last is first You’ll be where you choose to be" Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not Fire is with or against you And so it burns |

Old dreams return Disillusioned I yearn Am I buried beneath sand and clay? The caress of cold soil With limbs crippled to the coil Locked inside a nightmare womb Tarnished and grief stricken Emptiness within a void Longing for the sun to shine To discourage the demonoid Salvation! Darkness reborn! We seem to keep fading away Holding on to that last final sway A doctrine of self salvation Darkness reborn on resurrection day? Stagnating in dead waters While circling above the surface Of the deep pale desert sea Cutting that other life of lines Salvation! Wish we’d never met Salvation! And rather gone our separate ways Salvation! All times spent together Salvation! Are the darkest of days Salvation! Darkness reborn! |

Daylight has finally reached its end, as evenfall strikes into the sky. Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight, sickening souls cry out in pain. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace. Feel the gloom of restless spirits, hear the screams from the Mourning Palace. Feel the doom of haunting chants. Eternal is their lives in misery, eternal is their lives in grief. Abandoned in a void of nothingness. A chain of anger, a fetter of despair. In this garden of depraved beings, this unsacred place of helpless ones. Satan blessed the creatures, inswathed them in endless night. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. |

You have returned to the torture-chambers, to find peace among the rotting corpses. You have returned to the execution place, to inhale the smell of blood. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. You have returned, to the hidden graves only you know about. You have returned to to face your victims, and feel sensation of violence once again. Once again! Death and terror rules the soul! You have been spellbound by the Devil. Murderer, you have returned, to create fear and sorrow. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. |

Passenger on confessional course, unlock with the key you behold within. Repair the shadow of your mind and come awake. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand. To be faithful and the instrument so that the ones with blindfold can see what I have seen That there is nothing in between for I am the accomplice. Aghast and tender indulged in sin, embraced by loneliness legions who grin. I blunder into the realms of slumber, I collide with the obscure and see the last fraction of light go by. Plundering the sanity from the insane, and providing appearances in black. Carefully swept in decadent spheres, faces in this world always remain darkened. In circles of dominance emotional deeps unite, fiction and transcendence woven together. In the essence of purity lies wisdom. Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions. What more do you need of proof, human hands conforming cloven hoofs, for I know the secrets and lies behind all truths. Knowledge is power and the power is mine. It’s all mine! So let the children come to me and share the limitless ways to infinity. Escape death and disease and behold youth and vitality. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me how to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand for I am the accomplice. |

5. | Blessing upon the Throne of Tyranny | 05:19 | Show lyrics |
Infected by invalid behaviour, while capturing the stench, of divine putrefaction. Confess to slavery, for the world saviour. Give praise and inhale the corruption. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress. Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. The decrepit innocence, of your correctness and well chosen. Elicits the source of the need, for immediate forgiveness. Submit to no grace, but the pitiful of your disease. Apply to join the unlimited disgrace, and a settlement in the skies. And turn the confusion among your children, into self-stimulation. The incarnation of your prostitution, the true evil in disguise. With the ignorance from your cross, as the witness. The truth of your tragedy, make you justice. In your mirror the high spirit, of kindness looks like malice. Condemnation of life by the living dead. What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core. How unfortunate I am! Cursed to spend time, on a battle already won. The shame that will be guarding, your grave says it all. Retreat to the crypt, and make it worthwhile. Recall my sins furthermore, but still be watching yours with a smile. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. |

6. | For the World to Dictate Our Death | 04:47 | Show lyrics |
Let us sit back and watch death and destruction’s devotees revel, let us sit back and witness innocent semen being poured. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. Reason faithfully defiles on bloodstained hands where graceful motion are lost arts. There are only battles to be lost in the kingdoms of the blind. For those who seek salvation in the dust of the earth will only find wrath in the sands of time. Engulfed by the desert we taste death in the dry heat. Disciples of prophetic ablution had sworn to let the skeptics bleed for great are their love for warfare, henchmen of the disastrous creed. Henchmen of the disastrous creed! Watch us all celebrate in their name, the lambs of our time being slain, awaiting the final perdition Awaiting the final perdition! Defeat against all and everything for whatever adorned righteousness, justice never wait for the guilty to speak the truth. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. For mankind so hated the world that it gave all it’s begotten sons and daughters that whoever believed the lie to perish and receive everlasting Hell. |

Have I not been too long in your shadows of invention and creation? As I rightfully behold the flesh, fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away. My word and world holds ground and is real! Your world is like floods of poisoned water, a language spoken with spit from different tongues. It all seems like an eternity This battle between us two. Good and evil, me and you! Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. My word and world holds ground and is real! Your world is like floods of poisoned water, a language spoken with spit from different tongues. You can never corrupt me again! Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. You can never corrupt me again! I protect every man guilty of sin, the ultimate sin being me. The vapor from the plague that infested my mind, body and soul obscured my view from wisdom. The mist that had me wonder in resentment cleared and troubles me no more. Have I not been too long in your shadows of invention and creation? As I rightfully behold the flesh, fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away. |

8. | Gateways | 03:59 | Show lyrics |
The core principle of freedom is the only notion to obey, the formulae of evolution and sin leading the way. The rebirth is near completion as we slowly awaken from slumber. As we slowly awaken from slumber! Gateways... The malpractice of the spirit ends when the gift is once again attained, no rules or restraints are longer valid when the ancient future is reclaimed. Gateways... No rules or restraints are longer valid when the ancient future is reclaimed. It’s all there for the eyes that can see, the blind ones will always suffer in secrecy for it is the omen of what lies submerged breeding untouched within us bleeding. The core principle of freedom is the only notion to obey, the formulae of evolution and sin leading the way. The rebirth is near completion as we slowly awaken from slumber to receive the light that shines in darkness, the light that shines forevermore. Forevermore! Be the broken or the breaker, be the giver or the undertaker. Unlock and open the doors, be the healer or the faker. The keys are in your hands, realize you are your own sole creator of your own masterplan. |

1. | The Unveiling | 05:47 | Show lyrics |
Become through earned And granted liberation Rise above the secrecy And silent deception Clarity is determined At the depths of murky waters The potion of black earthed blood Is the sludge draining the conscious Essential Learning Corrupted and drifted In this deceiving world The modern savant has ignored the soul Expose the dreamworld We all believe to be real Forgotten, forbidden All the knowledge that is hidden In the shadows Our eyes are blind with confusion The curtains hide the present Leaving only rays of disillusion Expose the dreamworld We all believe to be real Forgotten, forbidden All the knowledge that is hidden |

2. | Interdimensional Summit | 04:39 | Show lyrics |
Mired in illusion Lost in the masters game Silenced by the idea of time Nurtured with lies and deceit The silent seeker, the seer Travels beyond the veil The silent seeker, the seer Fleeing the dense womb of ignorance To the trained eye There are no coincidences The more you see The less it makes sense To the trained eye There are no coincidences If you can not see You can not truly know We are the current sum of all the ages Leaving a trail of burnt pages Thrown into darkness as stars We travel alone as one When the dust settles on the tavern Is when we’re liberated from illusion Taking our first and final breath Realizing life is always after death Mired in illusion Lost in the masters game Silenced by the idea of time To the trained eye There are no coincidences The more you see The less it makes sense To the trained eye There are no coincidences If you can not see You can not truly know The silent seeker, the seer Travels beyond the veil The silent seeker, the seer Fleeing the dense womb of ignorance |

3. | Ætheric | 05:27 | Show lyrics |
The word that has been spoken Through time and time again Is the light that inhabits our voice The light that keeps us aflame All retrospection is invalid As we’ve been fed disdain Confined to the fence of knowledge We need to die, die again To govern thyself You must know your darkness To govern thyself You must know your past All rise and fall All is internal All eternal All rise and fall Controlling matter with will We withstand every storm In and out of exile Spirit, matter and form To govern thyself You must know your darkness To govern thyself You must know your past |

4. | Council of Wolves and Snakes | 05:19 | Show lyrics |
Nomads plunging into the vast abyss Unattached, fleeting through the chasm Naked in pure darkness Embracing the new dawn We are gods here for the taking Yield to the dragon’s embrace We are gods Yield to the dragon’s embrace As pawns in this secret game No one knows nothing Yet, in the realm of sacred play Everyone knows everything A winged and secret flame Leaving this paradigm A dimension we are set to flee We are gods in the making We are here for the taking Yield to the dragon’s embrace We are of transcendence We are wolves and snakes A winged and secret flame Leaving this paradigm A dimension we are set to flee The arrival is in the departure We are sculpted into life By the hands of death |

5. | The Empyrean Phoenix | 04:44 | Show lyrics |
Legionnaires of degradation Ridden with disease Disguised as martyrs Preaching counterfeit peace Unbound, glory forever untouched Unbound, from its inception To its final round Through the tunnels Darkness dims the vision Yet, the light is kept guarded Secretly Unbound, glory forever untouched Unbound, from its inception To its final round Risen anew from its humiliation The fire has been awoken The crossroads many The highways few Through desert storms it flew The spirit of the phoenix wins Restored anew Unbound, glory forever untouched Unbound, from its inception To its last final round |

7. | I Am Sovereign | 06:48 | Show lyrics |
Undo me and feel no restraint. Undo me, pain is wanting closure. Undo me, the mind it needs to rest. Undo me, I shall be restored. Perseverance doesn’t mean anything unless it’s for eternity. The real powers that will ever be is freedom and liberty. Undo me and feel no restraint. Undo me, pain is wanting closure. Undo me, the mind it needs to rest. Undo me, I shall be restored. A lifetime worthy of awakening is a life worth transcending We learn as we teach, we teach as we speak, we speak as we seek, we seek what we learn. Knowing when to end a journey is to recognize where it begins what we really seek is not here but on the other side of fear. We learn as we teach, we teach as we speak, we speak as we seek, we seek what we learn. |

8. | Archaic Correspondence | 04:55 | Show lyrics |
Dead at nothing Alive at everything You travel time And time travels you As within so without As above so below When we set sail Energy is our procession The journey inward repeats The horizon is our destination Life is the trial And the passage is death Storming through oblivion Life is a trial And the passage is death Storming through the veil The transition from internal life Repressed and unseen Forgotten Lurking in the shadow of your mind Losing yourself is the key To leave everything behind Losing yourself is the key The shadows become our past The migration of the soul Picks up where it leaves the flesh And enters the finish line Sustained through another time Life is the trial And the passage is death Storming through oblivion Life is a trial And the passage is death Storming through the veil As within so without As above so below |

9. | Alpha Aeon Omega | 05:18 | Show lyrics |
The inevitable exchange Is when knowledge comes Without judgement The final transition Is when knowledge becomes The internal The facilitators of darkness Are the true providers To the world’s light Ascending the highest mountain Beyond the perception of reality Forever free From illusion of mortality Open are all the doors All will run its course Leaving the former paradigm Escalating, further the climb Ascending the highest mountain Beyond the perception of reality Forever free From illusion of mortality The flow is ever present Upstream and against the current Ascending the highest of mountains Free |

You have returned to the torture-chambers To find peace among the rotting corpses You have returned to the execution place To inhale the smell of blood Death and terror rules the land We have been spellbound By the Devil You have returned to the hidden graves Only you know about You have returned to to face your victims And feel sensation of violence once again Death and terror rules the soul You have been spellbound By the Devil Murderer, you have returned To create fear and sorrow Death and terror rules the land We have been spellbound By the Devil |

2. | Stormblåst | 05:19 | Show lyrics |
Gjennom tidløse morkne drømmer I fuktig høstvind over langstrakte vidder Mot Sorias fjellheim Kommer jeg, en fandens ridder Glatt er runen på det høye fjell Gnidd vekk av regn og vind Dragende kraft av ondskap lurer Her ved trollheims muldne grind Fortumlet av dette mørke byggverk Med røvet gull fra lysets pakt Brukt som spott til å senke Deres murer Vi grunder over dette riket Så vakkert fylt med tidløs skumring Som en stjerne i tomsindighetens juv Det bringer frem en nattlig mimring Over tanker fra en vissen tid Drott til himmels er det reist Av tidens endeløse svarte minner Stormblåst ut av det sorte indre Har bergflint rullet fra mo til kneis Undring og angst samler seg i natten I mørket som ruver om spiret For ingen dag kan veien Intet lys kan luske frem Der sorg har beseiret all glede Og bygd et land på menneskets jord Fylt med iskald prakt og heder |

3. | Entrance | 04:22 | Show lyrics |
Soul on departure 666, onward into another existence. A trip far beyond all pleasant dreams, a voyage through desolation sights. Inner transformation, subconscious light. In the glance fields of fires, in the distance meadows of mists. Where minds being enshrouded, in complete night. The fading of love, life and light. Wandering an endless journey, dead within a trace. Entering a lost dominion, soulless and free. Visiting a foreign place, but yet so known. Another dimension, opens for me to see. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Soul on arrival 666, one short step from unhallowed ground. The ground of a kingdom come. Dead spirits communion, unorthodox profane void. Gardens, temples, palaces, I have seen them all! In search for insanity, sanity slowly drowns in trance. |

4. | Master of Disharmony | 04:21 | Show lyrics |
Master of disharmony, welcome my tainted soul. Take me from the hordes of the living, into the blessed darkness. Master of disorder, take my impure flesh. Lead me unto the path of temptation, save me from cowardness. Save me from cowardness! Master of sin, take my cursed heart. Bring me where I can find salvation, for I am the damned. Master of death, take my pitiful life. I am enslaved, I shall never forget the pain. Master of sin, take my cursed heart. Bring me where I can find salvation. For I am the damned! Master of death, take my pitiful life. I am enslaved, I shall never forget the pain. |

5. | Behind the Curtains of Night - Phantasmagoria | 04:02 | Show lyrics |
A mental inner vortex, as possessions through a wolf’s eye. Envisioning the eclipse, no longer to be blinded by a sunrise. In this final benediction, confronted by mirage of imminent mortality. Time’s set to end the suffering, so follow. I will cherish the secrecies of hearts! Chased by the black shepherds, behind curtains of night. Been found as a tool in their seduction, fatal haze. An escape into abomination. Perished to phasma, a syndrome of another aeon. Soul-obsequial inhesion! Resurged in torrents, of abysmal thoughts. Lost in a helix, blackest might! In stealth I do seek deliverance. In phantasmagoria, vortex utopia. |

6. | In Death’s Embrace | 06:08 | Show lyrics |
By the light of the moon, and the beings of the night. A curse has been laid upon us, to seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces. By the power of death, and the shadow of the reaper. A call has been brought upon us, to complete the infinite fall of heaven. Without the wit or will to end this journey, we continue travelling towards our faith. Harvesting helpless Christian spirits, raping the sanctity of saints. The heavenly father is streching his hand, pathetically begging for mercy. We spit and piss on his sacred flesh, as we breathe the breath of the unholy. For with the sign of the pentagram, hellfire rage is for us to come. As we shall wander the pit, unhallowed by the infernal one. We are forever captured, by the embrace of death. |

7. | Mourning Palace | 04:59 | Show lyrics |
Daylight has finally reached its end, as evenfall strikes into the sky. Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight, sickening souls cry out in pain. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace. Feel the gloom of restless spirits, hear the screams from the Mourning Palace. Feel the doom of haunting chants. Eternal is their lives in misery, eternal is their lives in grief. Abandoned in a void of nothingness. A chain of anger, a fetter of despair. In this garden of depraved beings, this unsacred place of helpless ones. Satan blessed the creatures, inswathed them in endless night. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. |

Vårt hat skal vinne. Vår ondskap skal gro. A feste seg i unge sjeler. Den siste krig skal vi vinne, Og de godes blod skal falle som regn. Deres korte sjeler skal samles.

Vårt hat skal vinne. Vår ondskap skal gro. A feste seg i unge sjeler. Den siste krig skal vi vinne, Og de godes blod skal falle som regn. Deres korte sjeler skal samles. Vi skal rå de over kaos og evig natt. Vi skal glemme de kvinnelig vikante mødre, Og utslette alt. Et rike skal reiset seg, I asken av brennte hjem, Det er kun en herre hersker, Vi hyller deg Satan, de sterkes konge. Din tid er kommet. |

Vårt hat skal vinne. Vår ondskap skal gro. A feste seg i unge sjeler. Den siste krig skal vi vinne, Og de godes blod skal falle som regn. Deres korte sjeler skal samles. Vi skal rå de over kaos og evig natt. Vi skal glemme de kvinnelig vikante mødre, Og utslette alt. Et rike skal reiset seg, I asken av brennte hjem, Det er kun en herre hersker, Vi hyller deg Satan, de sterkes konge. Din tid er kommet. |

I could drag you to my chambers, and strip you naked in darkness. I could pull out your fingernails one by one, and rape you until you find no hope. I could rip your guts out, and let you watch me, sacrifice your unborn child. I could leave you to starve, and even bring you to total silence. But I won’t! For I find no pleasure, in your physical pain. I want your christian soul to crumble. Your fucking soul! When I have seen your church go up in flames, and you are weeping, I will laugh. When I have seen you mourn over loved ones, I’ll feel bliss when your mortal souls is in ruins. I will grin in the shadows, for that gives me pleasure. Tormenting a christian soul! |

1. | Det nye riket | 04:59 | Show lyrics |
Vårt hat skal vinne. Vår ondskap skal gro. A feste seg i unge sjeler. Den siste krig skal vi vinne, Og de godes blod skal falle som regn. Deres korte sjeler skal samles. Vi skal rå de over kaos og evig natt. Vi skal glemme de kvinnelig vikante mødre, Og utslette alt. Et rike skal reiset seg, I asken av brennte hjem, Det er kun en herre hersker, Vi hyller deg Satan, de sterkes konge. Din tid er kommet. |

Langt om lenge det stormens blest Slår tidevannets sprekninger Slår hav på en skatt Har snart alle skogstjern frosset Og snøen dekker en fjelltopp Stripels kriger traust han var Som satte sitt mot i gammel tid Vandrer hen til Dødheims Gard etter sin bane Storgildt strid Bleser bleknede blåners land Overforlatt og dunkel jord Og bra for fedre som har seiret Norskehavets skumrings fjord Reisen gjennom dimmen er grå For meg er den et skall av forfars liv Blesne blekne blåner fjell Inn i en gråvendt natt Jeg reiser over bleknede blåners fjell Og her i mørket er jeg forlatt Snart har snø tynget hver en grend Snart har kong vinter beseiret jord Her hvor en gang de gamle falt i marken For å legge den øde øy Og gjøre den ren Over bleknede blåners fjell Jeg drar i dens dunkle mørkmanns ord Over land hvor fedres kamp har seiret Hvor vikingsverd satte tydelig spor |

Svunne tider på jotuns vei Der over høye klipper og fjell Har merket den med støv og aske Fra dengang alders hirder Vandret på disse kanter Her Gandviks bergtroll trampet frem I ondt og stort et tussefølge Hvor ferdafolk fant stor en visdom Om landets skogsliv og mørke sider Her på stien som bukter seg uendelig frem Mellom berg hvor de vanskelig fremdeles Kan øynes i horisonten Sa storslått det må ha vært Og speide ut over alt dette Og å vandre så alene og fri En høstkveld i en kald og lett tåke Slik som mange før meg har opplevd Og som mange før meg har verdsatt Men minner blir glemt av tidens gang Og lite er her som det engang var Her som ellers har blader visnet Men falt ned på en forfallen jord Hvor drømmer og liv har dødd ut Men kanskje bak en sten Eller bak en gammel busk Sitter fortsatt... hmm Og venter? |

Hver en tåre er frosset, Vår sjel er lenket, Vårt hat er blodig. All glede er svunnet, All latter er forsvunnet, Alt liv skal ende i død. I et kalt og øde landskap, Skal den sorte horde tre frem, Vår herre skal stige Opp for all tid, reise sitt rike igjen. Vår kamp skal belønnes, Våre nav skal prises, Våre sinn skal dra den grene, Og hans kjærlighet skal evig gå tapt. All moral skal forkastes, Du vil men du dør av skam. Nå er tiden kommet, Ja knus de godes ord, La oss for alltid bli herskere på denne jord. |

Gjør meg til din tjener Åh, Attila Ta meg til din hær Du levde i mørket Du vandret i sorg Du plyndret med sal til hest En stolt og stridig konge Som erobret hver en borg For så å heise fanen til fest Attila, hunnernes konge Krigenes herre, vår far Du hentet din styrke fra mørke Og på tokt med deg jeg nå drar |

Langt om lenge det stormens blest Slår tidevannets sprekninger Slår hav på en skatt Har snart alle skogstjern frosset Og snøen dekker en fjelltopp Stripels kriger traust han var Som satte sitt mot i gammel tid Vandrer hen til Dødheims Gard etter sin bane Storgildt strid Bleser bleknede blåners land Overforlatt og dunkel jord Og bra for fedre som har seiret Norskehavets skumrings fjord Reisen gjennom dimmen er grå For meg er den et skall av forfars liv Blesne blekne blåner fjell Inn i en gråvendt natt Jeg reiser over bleknede blåners fjell Og her i mørket er jeg forlatt Snart har snø tynget hver en grend Snart har kong vinter beseiret jord Her hvor en gang de gamle falt i marken For å legge den øde øy Og gjøre den ren Over bleknede blåners fjell Jeg drar i dens dunkle mørkmanns ord Over land hvor fedres kamp har seiret Hvor vikingsverd satte tydelig spor |

Svunne tider på jotuns vei Der over høye klipper og fjell Har merket den med støv og aske Fra dengang alders hirder Vandret på disse kanter Her Gandviks bergtroll trampet frem I ondt og stort et tussefølge Hvor ferdafolk fant stor en visdom Om landets skogsliv og mørke sider Her på stien som bukter seg uendelig frem Mellom berg hvor de vanskelig fremdeles Kan øynes i horisonten Sa storslått det må ha vært Og speide ut over alt dette Og å vandre så alene og fri En høstkveld i en kald og lett tåke Slik som mange før meg har opplevd Og som mange før meg har verdsatt Men minner blir glemt av tidens gang Og lite er her som det engang var Her som ellers har blader visnet Men falt ned på en forfallen jord Hvor drømmer og liv har dødd ut Men kanskje bak en sten Eller bak en gammel busk Sitter fortsatt... hmm Og venter? |

Hver en tåre er frosset, Vår sjel er lenket, Vårt hat er blodig. All glede er svunnet, All latter er forsvunnet, Alt liv skal ende i død. I et kalt og øde landskap, Skal den sorte horde tre frem, Vår herre skal stige Opp for all tid, reise sitt rike igjen. Vår kamp skal belønnes, Våre nav skal prises, Våre sinn skal dra den grene, Og hans kjærlighet skal evig gå tapt. All moral skal forkastes, Du vil men du dør av skam. Nå er tiden kommet, Ja knus de godes ord, La oss for alltid bli herskere på denne jord. |

Vårt hat skal vinne. Vår ondskap skal gro. A feste seg i unge sjeler. Den siste krig skal vi vinne, Og de godes blod skal falle som regn. Deres korte sjeler skal samles. Vi skal rå de over kaos og evig natt. Vi skal glemme de kvinnelig vikante mødre, Og utslette alt. Et rike skal reiset seg, I asken av brennte hjem, Det er kun en herre hersker, Vi hyller deg Satan, de sterkes konge. Din tid er kommet. |

Min sjel den glødet Og mitt sinn det lengtet Etter å få fatt i en kristen faen I det kalde mørket jeg ventet med vinden Det ulte som besatt av fanden Jeg ventet Åh, som jeg ventet Tiden virket som evig Men endelig fikk jeg øye på stakkar’n Jeg hevet min knyttede neve Og skrek Svake kristne! Dø i natt! Jeg skal flerre din sjel i to! Du skal føle makten jeg har fått av mørket! Din tid er omme! Også din tro! ...også din tro...! Be om nåde du stakkars faen Og min latter skal atter runge Høyt i nattens kulde Der frosten fryser din siste Tåre... Svake kristne! Du døde i natt! Med et kraftig hugg tok jeg din skalle! En blodig slakt som til syvende og sist hvis stemmer (vil) for alltid i Dødsriket gjalle! |

Dø i natt! Jeg skal flerre din sjel i to! Du skal føle makten jeg har fått av mørket! Din tid er omme! Også din tro! ...også din tro...! Be om nåde du stakkars faen Og min latter skal atter runge Høyt i nattens kulde Der frosten fryser din siste Tåre... Svake kristne! Du døde i natt! Med et kraftig hugg tok jeg din skalle!

1. | Dimmu Borgir - Mourning Palace | 05:13 | Show lyrics |
Daylight has finally reached it’s end As evenfall strikes into the sky Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight Sickening souls cry out in pain Whispering voices summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Posessed by the search for utter darkness Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace Feel the gloom of restless spirits Hear the screams from the Mouring Palace Feel the doom of haunting chants Eternal is their lives in misery Eternal is their lives in grief Abandoned in a void of nothingness A chain of anger, a fetter of despair In this garden of depraved beings This unsacred place of helpless ones Satan blessed the creatures Inswathed them in endless night Whispering voices, summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Posessed by the search for utter darkness |

2. | Dimmu Borgir - Dødsferd | 05:30 | Show lyrics |
I det mørkeste mørke troner jeg I mine slaer trer stillheten frem Faldne engler vokter mine porter I dødsdalens øde skjønnhet Har min sjel vandret vill Mens mørket og sorgen rådet Tentes hatets flammende ild I nattens sorte stillhet Trer mitt tause frem I mørket flammer et likbål Nok en sort sjel har vendt hjem I stillhet følger vi ferden Til vår sorgsvarte bror Og ingen tårer faller Da aske forenes med jord Vi skal all dele hans skjebne Vi skal alle følge vår venn Da Dommedag’s klokker ringer Skal vi alle komme igjen For å herske |

3. | Dimmu Borgir - In Death’s Embrace | 05:43 | Show lyrics |
By the light of the moon And the beeings of the night A curse has been laid upon us To seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces By the power of death And the shadow of the reaper A call has been brought upon us To complete the infinite fall of heaven Without the wit or will to end this journey We continue travelling towards our faith Harvesting helpless Christian spirits Raping the sanctity of saints The heavenly father is streching his hand Pathetically begging for mercy We spit and piss on his sacred flesh As we breathe the breath of the unholy For with the sign of the pentagram Hellfire rage is for us to come As we shall wander the pit Uhallowed by the infernal one We are forever captured By the embrace of death |

You have returned to the torture-chambers To find peace among the rotting corpses You have returned to the execution place To inhale the smell of blood Death and terror rules the land We have been spellbound By the Devil You have returned to the hidden graves Only you know about You have returned to to face your victims And feel sensation of violence once again Death and terror rules the soul You have been spellbound By the Devil Murderer, you have returned To create fear and sorrow Death and terror rules the land We have been spellbound By the Devil |

Glinsende månelys ovenfor driver Frostlagte stier viser vei Svarte sjeler farer henover natten Inn gjennom skodde heim Alt har svartnet Alt lys er svunnet hen Lødig trer vi nå inn i Riket I minne om at våre spor blir fulgt Omgitt av sorgens dis Skrider ferden frem Som en skare av likkledde skrømt Vandrer vi jervens hjem Brisen fører oss over norske myrer Forbi hver en tåkegrend Med hatet i våre harme sinn Reiser vi for aldri å komme igjen |

Night haunts and evil lurks in every corner Like plague it’s spreading - I behold Loneliness, yet with you autumn night as guest But can you hear my cries? Permeate me, oh night, as with the forest you did for heart is cold, cold as ice I drown in the colour of your eye for a black heart will only find beauty in darkness I breathe it’s eternity to absorb the sky where the shadows of death may lie [Chorus:] Feel the call - Nocturnal desire Sorrow’s breath - Enchanting cries Night’s blood - Taste damnation’s wine Feel the pain - Nocturnal desire The devil’s path of dark delight Night’s blood - Pure damnation’s wine Eyes are glowing, burn as hell’s fire Mark thy wisdom in my mind Those who never was born but whose darkness eternally devastated the goodness built up through milleniums No time passed, our victory is eternal Our scorn, our silence... A heart dies drowning in the night’s blood Everlasting malice for the wicked soul Can’t resist the night’s sweet blood Loneliness in the embrace of you autumn night The night that froze my cries Deep into the woods glows a fading light I sold my soul, cold as ice I drown in the colour of your eye for a black heart will only find beauty in darkness I breathe it’s eternity to absorb the sky where the shadows of death may lie [Chorus:] Feel the call - Nocturnal desire Sorrow’s breath - Enchanting cries Night’s blood - Taste damnation’s wine Feel the pain - Nocturnal desire The devil’s path of dark delight Night’s blood - Pure damnation’s wine |

Pain, plague an pestilence shall sweep through your sight Grim is the truth that hides behind the fading light The eyes of the beholder stares empty silent and cold for the deeds of the dark ones are fearful to behold [Chorus:] With liftened dreadful swords we swear allegiance to our lord We’re the unhallowed usurpers of the throne Dusk will bring the gathered ones upon the feeble men of god Superior mighty warriors of pure unhallowed blood Shoulder to shoulder they reign in the darkest of nights Together at the edge of time, brought forth to slay the light Thy majesty - our majesty Sole superior evil itself We’ll be your instrument and the blade of their damnation So futile humas on the knees for the satanized Burning high at the stakes with the love of christ Do not rest in peace, may your souls all burn black Your sons and daughters I will kiss....with a poisoned smile Sing out the pain of your roots that you cannot deny and we’ll crush your worthless prayers of the weak forgotten lie The apocalypse is here, oh fools of the withering sky Encounter darkness as you fall into the endless fire The jaws of darkness, open wide, lost souls scream out in vain All will writhe eternity’s perpetual infernal pain [Chorus:] With liftened dreadful swords we swear allegiance to our lord We’re the unhallowed usurpers of the throne |

In the dawn an angel was dancing Surrounded by an aura of light But in the shadows something was watching And with patience awaiting the night Angel whispers: "Mournful night, attractive night Your dark beauty obsesses me" An angel bewitched by the shadows Seduced by the whispering lies [Chorus:] A spell was cast an the sky turned red The angel’s heart froze to ice The blackness that falls is coming to stay Under the snow lies angels so cold Dusk has passed and a cold morning breeze Is sweeping all over the plain On the ground lies an angel with skin so pale On her face an image of pain Snow is now falling to the frozen ground The angel is covered by white Frost is spreading across the plain To welcome the eternal night The dress is white with crystals of ice And frozen roses so red Roses of blood from an innocent soul On the plain lies an angel dead [Chorus:] A spell was cast an the sky turned red The angel’s heart froze to ice In the gloomy sky black clouds were gathering The silence was broken by cries A spell was cast an the sky turned red The angel’s heart froze to ice In the gloomy sky - The silence where dead angels lie Touch the snow... Caress the lifeless sculptures Die!!! [Chorus:] The blackness that falls is coming to stay Under the snow lies angels so cold Yet with each crystal of frost that is falling Another story is told A spell was cast and the sky turned red The angel’s heart froze to ice In the gloomy sky - The silence where dead angels lie |

From my Tower I behold the landscape below I see the river of blood in fury flow I stare into the night, yet my visions clear From the distant villages every word I hear [Chorus:] I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide I am the great shadow and from daylight in my tower I hide I have seen the abyss and all that lies within I am the great shadow and I was born in sin Thy shadow swept by like an angel fading to grey Thy eyes were like weakening candles leaving the flames to die Thy pale cold face, once so full of life Now its torn as of thorns of ice Thy towers fell to the ground [Chorus:] I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide I am the great shadow and from daylight in my tower I hide I have seen the abyss and all that lies within I am the great shadow and I was born in sin Yes this is the land, the land of the black horizon Where the shores are covered with the bodies of thy followers Triumphal vengeance, Dethroning the shape of thou Fade I say, wither away [Chorus:] I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide I am the great shadow, no daylight over my kingdom ride At the black horizons, my eyes and souls the wind I am the great shadow and I was born in sin I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide I am the great shadow, no daylight over my kingdom ride At the black horizons, my eyes and souls the wind BEHOLD THE LAND OF SIN! |

1. | Mourning Palace | 05:12 | Show lyrics |
Daylight has finally reached its end, as evenfall strikes into the sky. Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight, sickening souls cry out in pain. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace. Feel the gloom of restless spirits, hear the screams from the Mourning Palace. Feel the doom of haunting chants. Eternal is their lives in misery, eternal is their lives in grief. Abandoned in a void of nothingness. A chain of anger, a fetter of despair. In this garden of depraved beings, this unsacred place of helpless ones. Satan blessed the creatures, inswathed them in endless night. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. |

2. | Spellbound (By the Devil) | 04:07 | Show lyrics |
You have returned to the torture-chambers, to find peace among the rotting corpses. You have returned to the execution place, to inhale the smell of blood. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. You have returned, to the hidden graves only you know about. You have returned to to face your victims, and feel sensation of violence once again. Once again! Death and terror rules the soul! You have been spellbound by the Devil. Murderer, you have returned, to create fear and sorrow. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. |

3. | In Death’s Embrace | 05:41 | Show lyrics |
By the light of the moon, and the beings of the night. A curse has been laid upon us, to seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces. By the power of death, and the shadow of the reaper. A call has been brought upon us, to complete the infinite fall of heaven. Without the wit or will to end this journey, we continue travelling towards our faith. Harvesting helpless Christian spirits, raping the sanctity of saints. The heavenly father is streching his hand, pathetically begging for mercy. We spit and piss on his sacred flesh, as we breathe the breath of the unholy. For with the sign of the pentagram, hellfire rage is for us to come. As we shall wander the pit, unhallowed by the infernal one. We are forever captured, by the embrace of death. |

4. | Relinquishment of Spirit and Flesh | 05:31 | Show lyrics |
King of tempests and storms, Lord of innumerable figures and forms. Blessed with thy cold I am! As I upon the shoulders of mine, bear the burden of thine. Once I got touched, by a fire from beyond. An invitation to darkness, of which I could not resist. Caressed by the feathers of the fallen, I took the fate in my hand. My raging commander, my constant shade. My soul’s persecutor, my eternal divinity. Revealing thy powers, in visions and dreams. Invoking your magic at night. Honoured I am, to mission thy word. Within a creed is sworn, of majestic might. An infernal allegiance, in which I pay my share. An unholy awakening, inside of which I intend to bear. Beholding thy commotion! I entreat you with devotion, I subsume your might with strength. I will carry on with you as my guardian, against the lambs of the light. Possessed by the true God of earth I am, possessed for eternity. |

5. | The Night Masquerade | 04:23 | Show lyrics |
A scarlet sunset, the threshold to nightplay. A sinful oath is to be sworn. A beckoning bloodlust, among the seekers. Tyrannic hunger yearns! A gathering in flames and fires, Devil’s daughters dance. Scourged in filth obscene and lewd, longing for dark desires. The nocturnal beast appears, in an evil despotic shape. Expectant watching gracelessly, before demanding the sluts of lust. The Beast: "Come forth harlots, let’s begin! Rise and give praise in front of me, and receive eternal life from me! Welcome my spirit in honour of me! So drink of the blood I provide you, and you shall all forever wander, in the shadows of death!" The Chanting Whores: "Oh yes, Master! Let us receive thine offer, and drink with thee! And become a part of thy realm, with lust, sex and sodomy. For we are those who seek life eternally!" The Beast: "Blood is life and it shall be all ours!" |

I could drag you to my chambers, and strip you naked in darkness. I could pull out your fingernails one by one, and rape you until you find no hope. I could rip your guts out, and let you watch me, sacrifice your unborn child. I could leave you to starve, and even bring you to total silence. But I won’t! For I find no pleasure, in your physical pain. I want your christian soul to crumble. Your fucking soul! When I have seen your church go up in flames, and you are weeping, I will laugh. When I have seen you mourn over loved ones, I’ll feel bliss when your mortal souls is in ruins. I will grin in the shadows, for that gives me pleasure. Tormenting a christian soul! |

7. | Entrance | 04:46 | Show lyrics |
Soul on departure 666, onward into another existence. A trip far beyond all pleasant dreams, a voyage through desolation sights. Inner transformation, subconscious light. In the glance fields of fires, in the distance meadows of mists. Where minds being enshrouded, in complete night. The fading of love, life and light. Wandering an endless journey, dead within a trace. Entering a lost dominion, soulless and free. Visiting a foreign place, but yet so known. Another dimension, opens for me to see. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Soul on arrival 666, one short step from unhallowed ground. The ground of a kingdom come. Dead spirits communion, unorthodox profane void. Gardens, temples, palaces, I have seen them all! In search for insanity, sanity slowly drowns in trance. |

8. | Master of Disharmony | 04:14 | Show lyrics |
Master of disharmony, welcome my tainted soul. Take me from the hordes of the living, into the blessed darkness. Master of disorder, take my impure flesh. Lead me unto the path of temptation, save me from cowardness. Save me from cowardness! Master of sin, take my cursed heart. Bring me where I can find salvation, for I am the damned. Master of death, take my pitiful life. I am enslaved, I shall never forget the pain. Master of sin, take my cursed heart. Bring me where I can find salvation. For I am the damned! Master of death, take my pitiful life. I am enslaved, I shall never forget the pain. |

9. | Prudence’s Fall | 05:54 | Show lyrics |
He became the swarm! Indeed a pitiful imitation, to the verge of a quiet glance, an oracle without eyes. Darkness, precious companion, even thou can’t see his face. Salvation turned to bleed despair, compassion fled. Sadistic delight flowed, like Hell burned brighter. Existence woven into darkness, prudence did fall. In Satan’s beauty, life was found. A flow of orgasmic fire, swept through the cosmic night. I enthroned darkness triumphant, with the searing trident of the inferno. Gaze towards the Heavens, an you might catch a glimpse of me. |

10. | A Succubus in Rapture | 05:57 | Show lyrics |
Illness and plagues, torture and blight is what she brings. Mocking holy standards, deceiving feeble fools is what she loves. Granted with powers, gifted with magic. Watching the world, through raven eyes. Damned woman, mischievous whore. Heretic princess, Devil’s own. Her seductive elegance, excites your weak flesh. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. You damned woman, you mischievous whore. You heretic princess, you are Devil’s own. A serenade made out of black magic, she has learned to set souls afire, and makes sure that, you never will leave it’s trance. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. |

In the glance fields of fires, in the distance meadows of mists. Where minds being enshrouded, in complete night. The fading of love, life and light. Wandering an endless journey, dead within a trace. Entering a lost dominion, soulless and free. Visiting a foreign place, but yet so known. Another dimension, opens for me to see. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Soul on arrival 666, one short step from unhallowed ground. The ground of a kingdom come. Dead spirits communion, unorthodox profane void. Gardens, temples, palaces, I have seen them all! In search for insanity, sanity slowly drowns in trance. |

Master of disharmony, welcome my tainted soul. Take me from the hordes of the living, into the blessed darkness. Master of disorder, take my impure flesh. Lead me unto the path of temptation, save me from cowardness. Save me from cowardness! Master of sin, take my cursed heart. Bring me where I can find salvation, for I am the damned. Master of death, take my pitiful life. I am enslaved, I shall never forget the pain. Master of sin, take my cursed heart. Bring me where I can find salvation. For I am the damned! Master of death, take my pitiful life. I am enslaved, I shall never forget the pain. |

9. | Prudence’s Fall | 05:54 | Show lyrics |
He became the swarm! Indeed a pitiful imitation, to the verge of a quiet glance, an oracle without eyes. Darkness, precious companion, even thou can’t see his face. Salvation turned to bleed despair, compassion fled. Sadistic delight flowed, like Hell burned brighter. Existence woven into darkness, prudence did fall. In Satan’s beauty, life was found. A flow of orgasmic fire, swept through the cosmic night. I enthroned darkness triumphant, with the searing trident of the inferno. Gaze towards the Heavens, an you might catch a glimpse of me. |

10. | A Succubus in Rapture | 05:57 | Show lyrics |
Illness and plagues, torture and blight is what she brings. Mocking holy standards, deceiving feeble fools is what she loves. Granted with powers, gifted with magic. Watching the world, through raven eyes. Damned woman, mischievous whore. Heretic princess, Devil’s own. Her seductive elegance, excites your weak flesh. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. You damned woman, you mischievous whore. You heretic princess, you are Devil’s own. A serenade made out of black magic, she has learned to set souls afire, and makes sure that, you never will leave it’s trance. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. |

1. | Mourning Palace | 05:12 | Show lyrics |
Daylight has finally reached its end, as evenfall strikes into the sky. Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight, sickening souls cry out in pain. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace. Feel the gloom of restless spirits, hear the screams from the Mourning Palace. Feel the doom of haunting chants. Eternal is their lives in misery, eternal is their lives in grief. Abandoned in a void of nothingness. A chain of anger, a fetter of despair. In this garden of depraved beings, this unsacred place of helpless ones. Satan blessed the creatures, inswathed them in endless night. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. |

3. | In Death’s Embrace | 05:41 | Show lyrics |
By the light of the moon, and the beings of the night. A curse has been laid upon us, to seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces. By the power of death, and the shadow of the reaper. A call has been brought upon us, to complete the infinite fall of heaven. Without the wit or will to end this journey, we continue travelling towards our faith. Harvesting helpless Christian spirits, raping the sanctity of saints. The heavenly father is streching his hand, pathetically begging for mercy. We spit and piss on his sacred flesh, as we breathe the breath of the unholy. For with the sign of the pentagram, hellfire rage is for us to come. As we shall wander the pit, unhallowed by the infernal one. We are forever captured, by the embrace of death. |

4. | Relinquishment of Spirit and Flesh | 05:31 | Show lyrics |
King of tempests and storms, Lord of innumerable figures and forms. Blessed with thy cold I am! As I upon the shoulders of mine, bear the burden of thine. Once I got touched, by a fire from beyond. An invitation to darkness, of which I could not resist. Caressed by the feathers of the fallen, I took the fate in my hand. My raging commander, my constant shade. My soul’s persecutor, my eternal divinity. Revealing thy powers, in visions and dreams. Invoking your magic at night. Honoured I am, to mission thy word. Within a creed is sworn, of majestic might. An infernal allegiance, in which I pay my share. An unholy awakening, inside of which I intend to bear. Beholding thy commotion! I entreat you with devotion, I subsume your might with strength. I will carry on with you as my guardian, against the lambs of the light. Possessed by the true God of earth I am, possessed for eternity. |

5. | The Night Masquerade | 04:23 | Show lyrics |
A scarlet sunset, the threshold to nightplay. A sinful oath is to be sworn. A beckoning bloodlust, among the seekers. Tyrannic hunger yearns! A gathering in flames and fires, Devil’s daughters dance. Scourged in filth obscene and lewd, longing for dark desires. The nocturnal beast appears, in an evil despotic shape. Expectant watching gracelessly, before demanding the sluts of lust. The Beast: "Come forth harlots, let’s begin! Rise and give praise in front of me, and receive eternal life from me! Welcome my spirit in honour of me! So drink of the blood I provide you, and you shall all forever wander, in the shadows of death!" The Chanting Whores: "Oh yes, Master! Let us receive thine offer, and drink with thee! And become a part of thy realm, with lust, sex and sodomy. For we are those who seek life eternally!" The Beast: "Blood is life and it shall be all ours!" |

I could rip your guts out, and let you watch me, sacrifice your unborn child. I could leave you to starve, and even bring you to total silence. But I won’t! For I find no pleasure, in your physical pain. I want your christian soul to crumble. Your fucking soul! When I have seen your church go up in flames, and you are weeping, I will laugh. When I have seen you mourn over loved ones, I’ll feel bliss when your mortal souls is in ruins. I will grin in the shadows, for that gives me pleasure. Tormenting a christian soul! |

Death and terror rules the soul! You have been spellbound by the Devil. Murderer, you have returned, to create fear and sorrow. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. |

3. | In Death’s Embrace | 05:41 | Show lyrics |
By the light of the moon, and the beings of the night. A curse has been laid upon us, to seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces. By the power of death, and the shadow of the reaper. A call has been brought upon us, to complete the infinite fall of heaven. Without the wit or will to end this journey, we continue travelling towards our faith. Harvesting helpless Christian spirits, raping the sanctity of saints. The heavenly father is streching his hand, pathetically begging for mercy. We spit and piss on his sacred flesh, as we breathe the breath of the unholy. For with the sign of the pentagram, hellfire rage is for us to come. As we shall wander the pit, unhallowed by the infernal one. We are forever captured, by the embrace of death. |

King of tempests and storms, Lord of innumerable figures and forms. Blessed with thy cold I am! As I upon the shoulders of mine, bear the burden of thine. Once I got touched, by a fire from beyond. An invitation to darkness, of which I could not resist. Caressed by the feathers of the fallen, I took the fate in my hand. My raging commander, my constant shade. My soul’s persecutor, my eternal divinity. Revealing thy powers, in visions and dreams. Invoking your magic at night. Honoured I am, to mission thy word. Within a creed is sworn, of majestic might. An infernal allegiance, in which I pay my share. An unholy awakening, inside of which I intend to bear. Beholding thy commotion! I entreat you with devotion, I subsume your might with strength. I will carry on with you as my guardian, against the lambs of the light. Possessed by the true God of earth I am, possessed for eternity. |

A scarlet sunset, the threshold to nightplay. A sinful oath is to be sworn. A beckoning bloodlust, among the seekers. Tyrannic hunger yearns! A gathering in flames and fires, Devil’s daughters dance. Scourged in filth obscene and lewd, longing for dark desires. The nocturnal beast appears, in an evil despotic shape. Expectant watching gracelessly, before demanding the sluts of lust. The Beast: "Come forth harlots, let’s begin! Rise and give praise in front of me, and receive eternal life from me! Welcome my spirit in honour of me! So drink of the blood I provide you, and you shall all forever wander, in the shadows of death!" The Chanting Whores: "Oh yes, Master! Let us receive thine offer, and drink with thee! And become a part of thy realm, with lust, sex and sodomy. For we are those who seek life eternally!" The Beast: "Blood is life and it shall be all ours!" |

I could rip your guts out, and let you watch me, sacrifice your unborn child. I could leave you to starve, and even bring you to total silence. But I won’t! For I find no pleasure, in your physical pain. I want your christian soul to crumble. Your fucking soul! When I have seen your church go up in flames, and you are weeping, I will laugh. When I have seen you mourn over loved ones, I’ll feel bliss when your mortal souls is in ruins. I will grin in the shadows, for that gives me pleasure. Tormenting a christian soul! |

Soul on departure 666, onward into another existence. A trip far beyond all pleasant dreams, a voyage through desolation sights. Inner transformation, subconscious light. In the glance fields of fires, in the distance meadows of mists. Where minds being enshrouded, in complete night. The fading of love, life and light. Wandering an endless journey, dead within a trace. Entering a lost dominion, soulless and free. Visiting a foreign place, but yet so known. Another dimension, opens for me to see. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Soul on arrival 666, one short step from unhallowed ground. The ground of a kingdom come. Dead spirits communion, unorthodox profane void. Gardens, temples, palaces, I have seen them all! In search for insanity, sanity slowly drowns in trance. |

Salvation turned to bleed despair, compassion fled. Sadistic delight flowed, like Hell burned brighter. Existence woven into darkness, prudence did fall. In Satan’s beauty, life was found. A flow of orgasmic fire, swept through the cosmic night. I enthroned darkness triumphant, with the searing trident of the inferno. Gaze towards the Heavens, an you might catch a glimpse of me. |

Illness and plagues, torture and blight is what she brings. Mocking holy standards, deceiving feeble fools is what she loves. Granted with powers, gifted with magic. Watching the world, through raven eyes. Damned woman, mischievous whore. Heretic princess, Devil’s own. Her seductive elegance, excites your weak flesh. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. You damned woman, you mischievous whore. You heretic princess, you are Devil’s own. A serenade made out of black magic, she has learned to set souls afire, and makes sure that, you never will leave it’s trance. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. |

1. | Mourning Palace | 05:12 | Show lyrics |
Daylight has finally reached its end, as evenfall strikes into the sky. Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight, sickening souls cry out in pain. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace. Feel the gloom of restless spirits, hear the screams from the Mourning Palace. Feel the doom of haunting chants. Eternal is their lives in misery, eternal is their lives in grief. Abandoned in a void of nothingness. A chain of anger, a fetter of despair. In this garden of depraved beings, this unsacred place of helpless ones. Satan blessed the creatures, inswathed them in endless night. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. |

He became the swarm! Indeed a pitiful imitation, to the verge of a quiet glance, an oracle without eyes. Darkness, precious companion, even thou can’t see his face. Salvation turned to bleed despair, compassion fled. Sadistic delight flowed, like Hell burned brighter. Existence woven into darkness, prudence did fall. In Satan’s beauty, life was found. A flow of orgasmic fire, swept through the cosmic night. I enthroned darkness triumphant, with the searing trident of the inferno. Gaze towards the Heavens, an you might catch a glimpse of me. |

Illness and plagues, torture and blight is what she brings. Mocking holy standards, deceiving feeble fools is what she loves. Granted with powers, gifted with magic. Watching the world, through raven eyes. Damned woman, mischievous whore. Heretic princess, Devil’s own. Her seductive elegance, excites your weak flesh. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. You damned woman, you mischievous whore. You heretic princess, you are Devil’s own. A serenade made out of black magic, she has learned to set souls afire, and makes sure that, you never will leave it’s trance. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. |

1. | Mourning Palace | 05:12 | Show lyrics |
Daylight has finally reached its end, as evenfall strikes into the sky. Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight, sickening souls cry out in pain. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace. Feel the gloom of restless spirits, hear the screams from the Mourning Palace. Feel the doom of haunting chants. Eternal is their lives in misery, eternal is their lives in grief. Abandoned in a void of nothingness. A chain of anger, a fetter of despair. In this garden of depraved beings, this unsacred place of helpless ones. Satan blessed the creatures, inswathed them in endless night. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. |

2. | Spellbound (By the Devil) | 04:07 | Show lyrics |
You have returned to the torture-chambers, to find peace among the rotting corpses. You have returned to the execution place, to inhale the smell of blood. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. You have returned, to the hidden graves only you know about. You have returned to to face your victims, and feel sensation of violence once again. Once again! Death and terror rules the soul! You have been spellbound by the Devil. Murderer, you have returned, to create fear and sorrow. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. |

3. | In Death’s Embrace | 05:41 | Show lyrics |
By the light of the moon, and the beings of the night. A curse has been laid upon us, to seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces. By the power of death, and the shadow of the reaper. A call has been brought upon us, to complete the infinite fall of heaven. Without the wit or will to end this journey, we continue travelling towards our faith. Harvesting helpless Christian spirits, raping the sanctity of saints. The heavenly father is streching his hand, pathetically begging for mercy. We spit and piss on his sacred flesh, as we breathe the breath of the unholy. For with the sign of the pentagram, hellfire rage is for us to come. As we shall wander the pit, unhallowed by the infernal one. We are forever captured, by the embrace of death. |

King of tempests and storms, Lord of innumerable figures and forms. Blessed with thy cold I am! As I upon the shoulders of mine, bear the burden of thine. Once I got touched, by a fire from beyond. An invitation to darkness, of which I could not resist. Caressed by the feathers of the fallen, I took the fate in my hand. My raging commander, my constant shade. My soul’s persecutor, my eternal divinity. Revealing thy powers, in visions and dreams. Invoking your magic at night. Honoured I am, to mission thy word. Within a creed is sworn, of majestic might. An infernal allegiance, in which I pay my share. An unholy awakening, inside of which I intend to bear. Beholding thy commotion! I entreat you with devotion, I subsume your might with strength. I will carry on with you as my guardian, against the lambs of the light. Possessed by the true God of earth I am, possessed for eternity. |

A scarlet sunset, the threshold to nightplay. A sinful oath is to be sworn. A beckoning bloodlust, among the seekers. Tyrannic hunger yearns! A gathering in flames and fires, Devil’s daughters dance. Scourged in filth obscene and lewd, longing for dark desires. The nocturnal beast appears, in an evil despotic shape. Expectant watching gracelessly, before demanding the sluts of lust. The Beast: "Come forth harlots, let’s begin! Rise and give praise in front of me, and receive eternal life from me! Welcome my spirit in honour of me! So drink of the blood I provide you, and you shall all forever wander, in the shadows of death!" The Chanting Whores: "Oh yes, Master! Let us receive thine offer, and drink with thee! And become a part of thy realm, with lust, sex and sodomy. For we are those who seek life eternally!" The Beast: "Blood is life and it shall be all ours!" |

I could drag you to my chambers, and strip you naked in darkness. I could pull out your fingernails one by one, and rape you until you find no hope. I could rip your guts out, and let you watch me, sacrifice your unborn child. I could leave you to starve, and even bring you to total silence. But I won’t! For I find no pleasure, in your physical pain. I want your christian soul to crumble. Your fucking soul! When I have seen your church go up in flames, and you are weeping, I will laugh. When I have seen you mourn over loved ones, I’ll feel bliss when your mortal souls is in ruins. I will grin in the shadows, for that gives me pleasure. Tormenting a christian soul! |

Soul on departure 666, onward into another existence. A trip far beyond all pleasant dreams, a voyage through desolation sights. Inner transformation, subconscious light. In the glance fields of fires, in the distance meadows of mists. Where minds being enshrouded, in complete night. The fading of love, life and light. Wandering an endless journey, dead within a trace. Entering a lost dominion, soulless and free. Visiting a foreign place, but yet so known. Another dimension, opens for me to see. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Soul on arrival 666, one short step from unhallowed ground. The ground of a kingdom come. Dead spirits communion, unorthodox profane void. Gardens, temples, palaces, I have seen them all! In search for insanity, sanity slowly drowns in trance. |

I could drag you to my chambers, and strip you naked in darkness. I could pull out your fingernails one by one, and rape you until you find no hope. I could rip your guts out, and let you watch me, sacrifice your unborn child. I could leave you to starve, and even bring you to total silence. But I won’t! For I find no pleasure, in your physical pain. I want your christian soul to crumble. Your fucking soul! When I have seen your church go up in flames, and you are weeping, I will laugh. When I have seen you mourn over loved ones, I’ll feel bliss when your mortal souls is in ruins. I will grin in the shadows, for that gives me pleasure. Tormenting a christian soul! |

Soul on departure 666, onward into another existence. A trip far beyond all pleasant dreams, a voyage through desolation sights. Inner transformation, subconscious light. In the glance fields of fires, in the distance meadows of mists. Where minds being enshrouded, in complete night. The fading of love, life and light. Wandering an endless journey, dead within a trace. Entering a lost dominion, soulless and free. Visiting a foreign place, but yet so known. Another dimension, opens for me to see. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Soul on arrival 666, one short step from unhallowed ground. The ground of a kingdom come. Dead spirits communion, unorthodox profane void. Gardens, temples, palaces, I have seen them all! In search for insanity, sanity slowly drowns in trance. |

Master of disharmony, welcome my tainted soul. Take me from the hordes of the living, into the blessed darkness. Master of disorder, take my impure flesh. Lead me unto the path of temptation, save me from cowardness. Save me from cowardness! Master of sin, take my cursed heart. Bring me where I can find salvation, for I am the damned. Master of death, take my pitiful life. I am enslaved, I shall never forget the pain. Master of sin, take my cursed heart. Bring me where I can find salvation. For I am the damned! Master of death, take my pitiful life. I am enslaved, I shall never forget the pain. |

9. | Prudence’s Fall | 05:54 | Show lyrics |
He became the swarm! Indeed a pitiful imitation, to the verge of a quiet glance, an oracle without eyes. Darkness, precious companion, even thou can’t see his face. Salvation turned to bleed despair, compassion fled. Sadistic delight flowed, like Hell burned brighter. Existence woven into darkness, prudence did fall. In Satan’s beauty, life was found. A flow of orgasmic fire, swept through the cosmic night. I enthroned darkness triumphant, with the searing trident of the inferno. Gaze towards the Heavens, an you might catch a glimpse of me. |

10. | A Succubus in Rapture | 05:57 | Show lyrics |
Illness and plagues, torture and blight is what she brings. Mocking holy standards, deceiving feeble fools is what she loves. Granted with powers, gifted with magic. Watching the world, through raven eyes. Damned woman, mischievous whore. Heretic princess, Devil’s own. Her seductive elegance, excites your weak flesh. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. You damned woman, you mischievous whore. You heretic princess, you are Devil’s own. A serenade made out of black magic, she has learned to set souls afire, and makes sure that, you never will leave it’s trance. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. |

1. | Mourning Palace | 05:12 | Show lyrics |
Daylight has finally reached its end, as evenfall strikes into the sky. Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight, sickening souls cry out in pain. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace. Feel the gloom of restless spirits, hear the screams from the Mourning Palace. Feel the doom of haunting chants. Eternal is their lives in misery, eternal is their lives in grief. Abandoned in a void of nothingness. A chain of anger, a fetter of despair. In this garden of depraved beings, this unsacred place of helpless ones. Satan blessed the creatures, inswathed them in endless night. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. |

2. | Spellbound (By the Devil) | 04:07 | Show lyrics |
You have returned to the torture-chambers, to find peace among the rotting corpses. You have returned to the execution place, to inhale the smell of blood. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. You have returned, to the hidden graves only you know about. You have returned to to face your victims, and feel sensation of violence once again. Once again! Death and terror rules the soul! You have been spellbound by the Devil. Murderer, you have returned, to create fear and sorrow. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. |

3. | In Death’s Embrace | 05:41 | Show lyrics |
By the light of the moon, and the beings of the night. A curse has been laid upon us, to seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces. By the power of death, and the shadow of the reaper. A call has been brought upon us, to complete the infinite fall of heaven. Without the wit or will to end this journey, we continue travelling towards our faith. Harvesting helpless Christian spirits, raping the sanctity of saints. The heavenly father is streching his hand, pathetically begging for mercy. We spit and piss on his sacred flesh, as we breathe the breath of the unholy. For with the sign of the pentagram, hellfire rage is for us to come. As we shall wander the pit, unhallowed by the infernal one. We are forever captured, by the embrace of death. |

4. | Relinquishment of Spirit and Flesh | 05:31 | Show lyrics |
King of tempests and storms, Lord of innumerable figures and forms. Blessed with thy cold I am! As I upon the shoulders of mine, bear the burden of thine. Once I got touched, by a fire from beyond. An invitation to darkness, of which I could not resist. Caressed by the feathers of the fallen, I took the fate in my hand. My raging commander, my constant shade. My soul’s persecutor, my eternal divinity. Revealing thy powers, in visions and dreams. Invoking your magic at night. Honoured I am, to mission thy word. Within a creed is sworn, of majestic might. An infernal allegiance, in which I pay my share. An unholy awakening, inside of which I intend to bear. Beholding thy commotion! I entreat you with devotion, I subsume your might with strength. I will carry on with you as my guardian, against the lambs of the light. Possessed by the true God of earth I am, possessed for eternity. |

5. | The Night Masquerade | 04:23 | Show lyrics |
A scarlet sunset, the threshold to nightplay. A sinful oath is to be sworn. A beckoning bloodlust, among the seekers. Tyrannic hunger yearns! A gathering in flames and fires, Devil’s daughters dance. Scourged in filth obscene and lewd, longing for dark desires. The nocturnal beast appears, in an evil despotic shape. Expectant watching gracelessly, before demanding the sluts of lust. The Beast: "Come forth harlots, let’s begin! Rise and give praise in front of me, and receive eternal life from me! Welcome my spirit in honour of me! So drink of the blood I provide you, and you shall all forever wander, in the shadows of death!" The Chanting Whores: "Oh yes, Master! Let us receive thine offer, and drink with thee! And become a part of thy realm, with lust, sex and sodomy. For we are those who seek life eternally!" The Beast: "Blood is life and it shall be all ours!" |

Langt... der borte i mørket Gjennom tretopper der månelys driver Langt... der borte i all tåke Inn gjennom min sjel den sorte angst river På de mosegrodde steiner de seg viser Nar nattemørket har senket seg over Ekkoene... fra deres grufulle jamring Endeløst:du kan hore I horisonten langt vekk Skimtes den sigende skodde Horder av ild rider månelyset i flokk Ved daggry de samles ved en bortgjemt odde Den iskalde snøen Har kommet Denne gang I evig fokk |

1. | Mourning Palace | 05:12 | Show lyrics |
Daylight has finally reached its end, as evenfall strikes into the sky. Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight, sickening souls cry out in pain. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace. Feel the gloom of restless spirits, hear the screams from the Mourning Palace. Feel the doom of haunting chants. Eternal is their lives in misery, eternal is their lives in grief. Abandoned in a void of nothingness. A chain of anger, a fetter of despair. In this garden of depraved beings, this unsacred place of helpless ones. Satan blessed the creatures, inswathed them in endless night. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. |

2. | Spellbound (By the Devil) | 04:07 | Show lyrics |
You have returned to the torture-chambers, to find peace among the rotting corpses. You have returned to the execution place, to inhale the smell of blood. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. You have returned, to the hidden graves only you know about. You have returned to to face your victims, and feel sensation of violence once again. Once again! Death and terror rules the soul! You have been spellbound by the Devil. Murderer, you have returned, to create fear and sorrow. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. |

3. | In Death’s Embrace | 05:41 | Show lyrics |
By the light of the moon, and the beings of the night. A curse has been laid upon us, to seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces. By the power of death, and the shadow of the reaper. A call has been brought upon us, to complete the infinite fall of heaven. Without the wit or will to end this journey, we continue travelling towards our faith. Harvesting helpless Christian spirits, raping the sanctity of saints. The heavenly father is streching his hand, pathetically begging for mercy. We spit and piss on his sacred flesh, as we breathe the breath of the unholy. For with the sign of the pentagram, hellfire rage is for us to come. As we shall wander the pit, unhallowed by the infernal one. We are forever captured, by the embrace of death. |

4. | Relinquishment of Spirit and Flesh | 05:31 | Show lyrics |
King of tempests and storms, Lord of innumerable figures and forms. Blessed with thy cold I am! As I upon the shoulders of mine, bear the burden of thine. Once I got touched, by a fire from beyond. An invitation to darkness, of which I could not resist. Caressed by the feathers of the fallen, I took the fate in my hand. My raging commander, my constant shade. My soul’s persecutor, my eternal divinity. Revealing thy powers, in visions and dreams. Invoking your magic at night. Honoured I am, to mission thy word. Within a creed is sworn, of majestic might. An infernal allegiance, in which I pay my share. An unholy awakening, inside of which I intend to bear. Beholding thy commotion! I entreat you with devotion, I subsume your might with strength. I will carry on with you as my guardian, against the lambs of the light. Possessed by the true God of earth I am, possessed for eternity. |

5. | The Night Masquerade | 04:23 | Show lyrics |
A scarlet sunset, the threshold to nightplay. A sinful oath is to be sworn. A beckoning bloodlust, among the seekers. Tyrannic hunger yearns! A gathering in flames and fires, Devil’s daughters dance. Scourged in filth obscene and lewd, longing for dark desires. The nocturnal beast appears, in an evil despotic shape. Expectant watching gracelessly, before demanding the sluts of lust. The Beast: "Come forth harlots, let’s begin! Rise and give praise in front of me, and receive eternal life from me! Welcome my spirit in honour of me! So drink of the blood I provide you, and you shall all forever wander, in the shadows of death!" The Chanting Whores: "Oh yes, Master! Let us receive thine offer, and drink with thee! And become a part of thy realm, with lust, sex and sodomy. For we are those who seek life eternally!" The Beast: "Blood is life and it shall be all ours!" |

I could drag you to my chambers, and strip you naked in darkness. I could pull out your fingernails one by one, and rape you until you find no hope. I could rip your guts out, and let you watch me, sacrifice your unborn child. I could leave you to starve, and even bring you to total silence. But I won’t! For I find no pleasure, in your physical pain. I want your christian soul to crumble. Your fucking soul! When I have seen your church go up in flames, and you are weeping, I will laugh. When I have seen you mourn over loved ones, I’ll feel bliss when your mortal souls is in ruins. I will grin in the shadows, for that gives me pleasure. Tormenting a christian soul! |

7. | Entrance | 04:46 | Show lyrics |
Soul on departure 666, onward into another existence. A trip far beyond all pleasant dreams, a voyage through desolation sights. Inner transformation, subconscious light. In the glance fields of fires, in the distance meadows of mists. Where minds being enshrouded, in complete night. The fading of love, life and light. Wandering an endless journey, dead within a trace. Entering a lost dominion, soulless and free. Visiting a foreign place, but yet so known. Another dimension, opens for me to see. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Soul on arrival 666, one short step from unhallowed ground. The ground of a kingdom come. Dead spirits communion, unorthodox profane void. Gardens, temples, palaces, I have seen them all! In search for insanity, sanity slowly drowns in trance. |

Master of disharmony, welcome my tainted soul. Take me from the hordes of the living, into the blessed darkness. Master of disorder, take my impure flesh. Lead me unto the path of temptation, save me from cowardness. Save me from cowardness! Master of sin, take my cursed heart. Bring me where I can find salvation, for I am the damned. Master of death, take my pitiful life. I am enslaved, I shall never forget the pain. Master of sin, take my cursed heart. Bring me where I can find salvation. For I am the damned! Master of death, take my pitiful life. I am enslaved, I shall never forget the pain. |

9. | Prudence’s Fall | 05:54 | Show lyrics |
He became the swarm! Indeed a pitiful imitation, to the verge of a quiet glance, an oracle without eyes. Darkness, precious companion, even thou can’t see his face. Salvation turned to bleed despair, compassion fled. Sadistic delight flowed, like Hell burned brighter. Existence woven into darkness, prudence did fall. In Satan’s beauty, life was found. A flow of orgasmic fire, swept through the cosmic night. I enthroned darkness triumphant, with the searing trident of the inferno. Gaze towards the Heavens, an you might catch a glimpse of me. |

10. | A Succubus in Rapture | 05:57 | Show lyrics |
Illness and plagues, torture and blight is what she brings. Mocking holy standards, deceiving feeble fools is what she loves. Granted with powers, gifted with magic. Watching the world, through raven eyes. Damned woman, mischievous whore. Heretic princess, Devil’s own. Her seductive elegance, excites your weak flesh. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. You damned woman, you mischievous whore. You heretic princess, you are Devil’s own. A serenade made out of black magic, she has learned to set souls afire, and makes sure that, you never will leave it’s trance. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. |

Daylight has finally reached its end, as evenfall strikes into the sky. Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight, sickening souls cry out in pain. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace. Feel the gloom of restless spirits, hear the screams from the Mourning Palace. Feel the doom of haunting chants. Eternal is their lives in misery, eternal is their lives in grief. Abandoned in a void of nothingness. A chain of anger, a fetter of despair.

Death and terror rules the soul! You have been spellbound by the Devil. Murderer, you have returned, to create fear and sorrow. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. |

3. | In Death’s Embrace | 05:41 | Show lyrics |
By the light of the moon, and the beings of the night. A curse has been laid upon us, to seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces. By the power of death, and the shadow of the reaper. A call has been brought upon us, to complete the infinite fall of heaven. Without the wit or will to end this journey, we continue travelling towards our faith. Harvesting helpless Christian spirits, raping the sanctity of saints. The heavenly father is streching his hand, pathetically begging for mercy. We spit and piss on his sacred flesh, as we breathe the breath of the unholy. For with the sign of the pentagram, hellfire rage is for us to come. As we shall wander the pit, unhallowed by the infernal one. We are forever captured, by the embrace of death. |

4. | Relinquishment of Spirit and Flesh | 05:31 | Show lyrics |
King of tempests and storms, Lord of innumerable figures and forms. Blessed with thy cold I am! As I upon the shoulders of mine, bear the burden of thine. Once I got touched, by a fire from beyond. An invitation to darkness, of which I could not resist. Caressed by the feathers of the fallen, I took the fate in my hand. My raging commander, my constant shade. My soul’s persecutor, my eternal divinity. Revealing thy powers, in visions and dreams. Invoking your magic at night. Honoured I am, to mission thy word. Within a creed is sworn, of majestic might. An infernal allegiance, in which I pay my share. An unholy awakening, inside of which I intend to bear. Beholding thy commotion! I entreat you with devotion, I subsume your might with strength. I will carry on with you as my guardian, against the lambs of the light. Possessed by the true God of earth I am, possessed for eternity. |

5. | The Night Masquerade | 04:23 | Show lyrics |
A scarlet sunset, the threshold to nightplay. A sinful oath is to be sworn. A beckoning bloodlust, among the seekers. Tyrannic hunger yearns! A gathering in flames and fires, Devil’s daughters dance. Scourged in filth obscene and lewd, longing for dark desires. The nocturnal beast appears, in an evil despotic shape. Expectant watching gracelessly, before demanding the sluts of lust. The Beast: "Come forth harlots, let’s begin! Rise and give praise in front of me, and receive eternal life from me! Welcome my spirit in honour of me! So drink of the blood I provide you, and you shall all forever wander, in the shadows of death!" The Chanting Whores: "Oh yes, Master! Let us receive thine offer, and drink with thee! And become a part of thy realm, with lust, sex and sodomy. For we are those who seek life eternally!" The Beast: "Blood is life and it shall be all ours!" |

I could drag you to my chambers, and strip you naked in darkness. I could pull out your fingernails one by one, and rape you until you find no hope. I could rip your guts out, and let you watch me, sacrifice your unborn child. I could leave you to starve, and even bring you to total silence. But I won’t! For I find no pleasure, in your physical pain. I want your christian soul to crumble. Your fucking soul! When I have seen your church go up in flames, and you are weeping, I will laugh. When I have seen you mourn over loved ones, I’ll feel bliss when your mortal souls is in ruins. I will grin in the shadows, for that gives me pleasure. Tormenting a christian soul! |

7. | Entrance | 04:46 | Show lyrics |
Soul on departure 666, onward into another existence. A trip far beyond all pleasant dreams, a voyage through desolation sights. Inner transformation, subconscious light. In the glance fields of fires, in the distance meadows of mists. Where minds being enshrouded, in complete night. The fading of love, life and light. Wandering an endless journey, dead within a trace. Entering a lost dominion, soulless and free. Visiting a foreign place, but yet so known. Another dimension, opens for me to see. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Soul on arrival 666, one short step from unhallowed ground. The ground of a kingdom come. Dead spirits communion, unorthodox profane void. Gardens, temples, palaces, I have seen them all! In search for insanity, sanity slowly drowns in trance. |

He became the swarm! Indeed a pitiful imitation, to the verge of a quiet glance, an oracle without eyes. Darkness, precious companion, even thou can’t see his face. Salvation turned to bleed despair, compassion fled. Sadistic delight flowed, like Hell burned brighter. Existence woven into darkness, prudence did fall. In Satan’s beauty, life was found. A flow of orgasmic fire, swept through the cosmic night. I enthroned darkness triumphant, with the searing trident of the inferno. Gaze towards the Heavens, an you might catch a glimpse of me. |

Illness and plagues, torture and blight is what she brings. Mocking holy standards, deceiving feeble fools is what she loves. Granted with powers, gifted with magic. Watching the world, through raven eyes. Damned woman, mischievous whore. Heretic princess, Devil’s own. Her seductive elegance, excites your weak flesh. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. You damned woman, you mischievous whore. You heretic princess, you are Devil’s own. A serenade made out of black magic, she has learned to set souls afire, and makes sure that, you never will leave it’s trance. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. |

1. | Mourning Palace | 05:12 | Show lyrics |
Daylight has finally reached its end, as evenfall strikes into the sky. Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight, sickening souls cry out in pain. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace. Feel the gloom of restless spirits, hear the screams from the Mourning Palace. Feel the doom of haunting chants. Eternal is their lives in misery, eternal is their lives in grief. Abandoned in a void of nothingness. A chain of anger, a fetter of despair. In this garden of depraved beings, this unsacred place of helpless ones. Satan blessed the creatures, inswathed them in endless night. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. |

Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. |

2. | Spellbound (By the Devil) | 04:07 | Show lyrics |
You have returned to the torture-chambers, to find peace among the rotting corpses. You have returned to the execution place, to inhale the smell of blood. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. You have returned, to the hidden graves only you know about. You have returned to to face your victims, and feel sensation of violence once again. Once again! Death and terror rules the soul! You have been spellbound by the Devil. Murderer, you have returned, to create fear and sorrow. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. |

3. | In Death’s Embrace | 05:41 | Show lyrics |
By the light of the moon, and the beings of the night. A curse has been laid upon us, to seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces. By the power of death, and the shadow of the reaper. A call has been brought upon us, to complete the infinite fall of heaven. Without the wit or will to end this journey, we continue travelling towards our faith. Harvesting helpless Christian spirits, raping the sanctity of saints. The heavenly father is streching his hand, pathetically begging for mercy. We spit and piss on his sacred flesh, as we breathe the breath of the unholy. For with the sign of the pentagram, hellfire rage is for us to come. As we shall wander the pit, unhallowed by the infernal one. We are forever captured, by the embrace of death. |

King of tempests and storms, Lord of innumerable figures and forms. Blessed with thy cold I am! As I upon the shoulders of mine, bear the burden of thine. Once I got touched, by a fire from beyond. An invitation to darkness, of which I could not resist. Caressed by the feathers of the fallen, I took the fate in my hand. My raging commander, my constant shade. My soul’s persecutor, my eternal divinity. Revealing thy powers, in visions and dreams. Invoking your magic at night. Honoured I am, to mission thy word. Within a creed is sworn, of majestic might. An infernal allegiance, in which I pay my share. An unholy awakening, inside of which I intend to bear. Beholding thy commotion! I entreat you with devotion, I subsume your might with strength. I will carry on with you as my guardian, against the lambs of the light. Possessed by the true God of earth I am, possessed for eternity. |

5. | The Night Masquerade | 04:23 | Show lyrics |
A scarlet sunset, the threshold to nightplay. A sinful oath is to be sworn. A beckoning bloodlust, among the seekers. Tyrannic hunger yearns! A gathering in flames and fires, Devil’s daughters dance. Scourged in filth obscene and lewd, longing for dark desires. The nocturnal beast appears, in an evil despotic shape. Expectant watching gracelessly, before demanding the sluts of lust. The Beast: "Come forth harlots, let’s begin! Rise and give praise in front of me, and receive eternal life from me! Welcome my spirit in honour of me! So drink of the blood I provide you, and you shall all forever wander, in the shadows of death!" The Chanting Whores: "Oh yes, Master! Let us receive thine offer, and drink with thee! And become a part of thy realm, with lust, sex and sodomy. For we are those who seek life eternally!" The Beast: "Blood is life and it shall be all ours!" |

I could drag you to my chambers, and strip you naked in darkness. I could pull out your fingernails one by one, and rape you until you find no hope. I could rip your guts out, and let you watch me, sacrifice your unborn child. I could leave you to starve, and even bring you to total silence. But I won’t! For I find no pleasure, in your physical pain. I want your christian soul to crumble. Your fucking soul! When I have seen your church go up in flames, and you are weeping, I will laugh. When I have seen you mourn over loved ones, I’ll feel bliss when your mortal souls is in ruins. I will grin in the shadows, for that gives me pleasure. Tormenting a christian soul! |

7. | Entrance | 04:46 | Show lyrics |
Soul on departure 666, onward into another existence. A trip far beyond all pleasant dreams, a voyage through desolation sights. Inner transformation, subconscious light. In the glance fields of fires, in the distance meadows of mists. Where minds being enshrouded, in complete night. The fading of love, life and light. Wandering an endless journey, dead within a trace. Entering a lost dominion, soulless and free. Visiting a foreign place, but yet so known. Another dimension, opens for me to see. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Soul on arrival 666, one short step from unhallowed ground. The ground of a kingdom come. Dead spirits communion, unorthodox profane void. Gardens, temples, palaces, I have seen them all! In search for insanity, sanity slowly drowns in trance. |

He became the swarm! Indeed a pitiful imitation, to the verge of a quiet glance, an oracle without eyes. Darkness, precious companion, even thou can’t see his face. Salvation turned to bleed despair, compassion fled. Sadistic delight flowed, like Hell burned brighter. Existence woven into darkness, prudence did fall. In Satan’s beauty, life was found. A flow of orgasmic fire, swept through the cosmic night. I enthroned darkness triumphant, with the searing trident of the inferno. Gaze towards the Heavens, an you might catch a glimpse of me. |

Illness and plagues, torture and blight is what she brings. Mocking holy standards, deceiving feeble fools is what she loves. Granted with powers, gifted with magic. Watching the world, through raven eyes. Damned woman, mischievous whore. Heretic princess, Devil’s own. Her seductive elegance, excites your weak flesh. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. You damned woman, you mischievous whore. You heretic princess, you are Devil’s own. A serenade made out of black magic, she has learned to set souls afire, and makes sure that, you never will leave it’s trance. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. |

Daylight has finally reached its end, as evenfall strikes into the sky. Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight, sickening souls cry out in pain. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace. Feel the gloom of restless spirits, hear the screams from the Mourning Palace. Feel the doom of haunting chants. Eternal is their lives in misery, eternal is their lives in grief. Abandoned in a void of nothingness. A chain of anger, a fetter of despair.

Soul on departure 666, onward into another existence. A trip far beyond all pleasant dreams, a voyage through desolation sights. Inner transformation, subconscious light. In the glance fields of fires, in the distance meadows of mists. Where minds being enshrouded, in complete night. The fading of love, life and light. Wandering an endless journey, dead within a trace. Entering a lost dominion, soulless and free. Visiting a foreign place, but yet so known. Another dimension, opens for me to see. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Soul on arrival 666, one short step from unhallowed ground. The ground of a kingdom come. Dead spirits communion, unorthodox profane void. Gardens, temples, palaces, I have seen them all! In search for insanity, sanity slowly drowns in trance. |

Master of disharmony, welcome my tainted soul. Take me from the hordes of the living, into the blessed darkness. Master of disorder, take my impure flesh. Lead me unto the path of temptation, save me from cowardness. Save me from cowardness! Master of sin, take my cursed heart. Bring me where I can find salvation, for I am the damned. Master of death, take my pitiful life. I am enslaved, I shall never forget the pain. Master of sin, take my cursed heart. Bring me where I can find salvation. For I am the damned!

He became the swarm! Indeed a pitiful imitation, to the verge of a quiet glance, an oracle without eyes. Darkness, precious companion, even thou can’t see his face. Salvation turned to bleed despair, compassion fled. Sadistic delight flowed, like Hell burned brighter. Existence woven into darkness, prudence did fall. In Satan’s beauty, life was found. A flow of orgasmic fire, swept through the cosmic night. I enthroned darkness triumphant, with the searing trident of the inferno. Gaze towards the Heavens, an you might catch a glimpse of me. |

10. | A Succubus in Rapture | 05:57 | Show lyrics |
Illness and plagues, torture and blight is what she brings. Mocking holy standards, deceiving feeble fools is what she loves. Granted with powers, gifted with magic. Watching the world, through raven eyes. Damned woman, mischievous whore. Heretic princess, Devil’s own. Her seductive elegance, excites your weak flesh. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. You damned woman, you mischievous whore. You heretic princess, you are Devil’s own. A serenade made out of black magic, she has learned to set souls afire, and makes sure that, you never will leave it’s trance. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. |

1. | Mourning Palace | 05:12 | Show lyrics |
Daylight has finally reached its end, as evenfall strikes into the sky. Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight, sickening souls cry out in pain. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace. Feel the gloom of restless spirits, hear the screams from the Mourning Palace. Feel the doom of haunting chants. Eternal is their lives in misery, eternal is their lives in grief. Abandoned in a void of nothingness. A chain of anger, a fetter of despair. In this garden of depraved beings, this unsacred place of helpless ones. Satan blessed the creatures, inswathed them in endless night. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. |

You have returned to the torture-chambers, to find peace among the rotting corpses. You have returned to the execution place, to inhale the smell of blood. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. You have returned, to the hidden graves only you know about. You have returned to to face your victims, and feel sensation of violence once again. Once again! Death and terror rules the soul! You have been spellbound by the Devil. Murderer, you have returned, to create fear and sorrow. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. |

3. | In Death’s Embrace | 05:41 | Show lyrics |
By the light of the moon, and the beings of the night. A curse has been laid upon us, to seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces. By the power of death, and the shadow of the reaper. A call has been brought upon us, to complete the infinite fall of heaven. Without the wit or will to end this journey, we continue travelling towards our faith. Harvesting helpless Christian spirits, raping the sanctity of saints. The heavenly father is streching his hand, pathetically begging for mercy. We spit and piss on his sacred flesh, as we breathe the breath of the unholy. For with the sign of the pentagram, hellfire rage is for us to come. As we shall wander the pit, unhallowed by the infernal one. We are forever captured, by the embrace of death. |

4. | Relinquishment of Spirit and Flesh | 05:31 | Show lyrics |
King of tempests and storms, Lord of innumerable figures and forms. Blessed with thy cold I am! As I upon the shoulders of mine, bear the burden of thine. Once I got touched, by a fire from beyond. An invitation to darkness, of which I could not resist. Caressed by the feathers of the fallen, I took the fate in my hand. My raging commander, my constant shade. My soul’s persecutor, my eternal divinity. Revealing thy powers, in visions and dreams. Invoking your magic at night. Honoured I am, to mission thy word. Within a creed is sworn, of majestic might. An infernal allegiance, in which I pay my share. An unholy awakening, inside of which I intend to bear. Beholding thy commotion! I entreat you with devotion, I subsume your might with strength. I will carry on with you as my guardian, against the lambs of the light. Possessed by the true God of earth I am, possessed for eternity. |

5. | The Night Masquerade | 04:23 | Show lyrics |
A scarlet sunset, the threshold to nightplay. A sinful oath is to be sworn. A beckoning bloodlust, among the seekers. Tyrannic hunger yearns! A gathering in flames and fires, Devil’s daughters dance. Scourged in filth obscene and lewd, longing for dark desires. The nocturnal beast appears, in an evil despotic shape. Expectant watching gracelessly, before demanding the sluts of lust. The Beast: "Come forth harlots, let’s begin! Rise and give praise in front of me, and receive eternal life from me! Welcome my spirit in honour of me! So drink of the blood I provide you, and you shall all forever wander, in the shadows of death!" The Chanting Whores: "Oh yes, Master! Let us receive thine offer, and drink with thee! And become a part of thy realm, with lust, sex and sodomy. For we are those who seek life eternally!" The Beast: "Blood is life and it shall be all ours!" |

Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace. Feel the gloom of restless spirits, hear the screams from the Mourning Palace. Feel the doom of haunting chants. Eternal is their lives in misery, eternal is their lives in grief. Abandoned in a void of nothingness. A chain of anger, a fetter of despair. In this garden of depraved beings, this unsacred place of helpless ones. Satan blessed the creatures, inswathed them in endless night. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. |

2. | Spellbound (By the Devil) | 04:07 | Show lyrics |
You have returned to the torture-chambers, to find peace among the rotting corpses. You have returned to the execution place, to inhale the smell of blood. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. You have returned, to the hidden graves only you know about. You have returned to to face your victims, and feel sensation of violence once again. Once again! Death and terror rules the soul! You have been spellbound by the Devil. Murderer, you have returned, to create fear and sorrow. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. |

3. | In Death’s Embrace | 05:41 | Show lyrics |
By the light of the moon, and the beings of the night. A curse has been laid upon us, to seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces. By the power of death, and the shadow of the reaper. A call has been brought upon us, to complete the infinite fall of heaven. Without the wit or will to end this journey, we continue travelling towards our faith. Harvesting helpless Christian spirits, raping the sanctity of saints. The heavenly father is streching his hand, pathetically begging for mercy. We spit and piss on his sacred flesh, as we breathe the breath of the unholy. For with the sign of the pentagram, hellfire rage is for us to come. As we shall wander the pit, unhallowed by the infernal one. We are forever captured, by the embrace of death. |

King of tempests and storms, Lord of innumerable figures and forms. Blessed with thy cold I am! As I upon the shoulders of mine, bear the burden of thine. Once I got touched, by a fire from beyond. An invitation to darkness, of which I could not resist. Caressed by the feathers of the fallen, I took the fate in my hand. My raging commander, my constant shade. My soul’s persecutor, my eternal divinity. Revealing thy powers, in visions and dreams. Invoking your magic at night. Honoured I am, to mission thy word. Within a creed is sworn, of majestic might. An infernal allegiance, in which I pay my share. An unholy awakening, inside of which I intend to bear. Beholding thy commotion! I entreat you with devotion, I subsume your might with strength. I will carry on with you as my guardian, against the lambs of the light. Possessed by the true God of earth I am, possessed for eternity. |

5. | The Night Masquerade | 04:23 | Show lyrics |
A scarlet sunset, the threshold to nightplay. A sinful oath is to be sworn. A beckoning bloodlust, among the seekers. Tyrannic hunger yearns! A gathering in flames and fires, Devil’s daughters dance. Scourged in filth obscene and lewd, longing for dark desires. The nocturnal beast appears, in an evil despotic shape. Expectant watching gracelessly, before demanding the sluts of lust. The Beast: "Come forth harlots, let’s begin! Rise and give praise in front of me, and receive eternal life from me! Welcome my spirit in honour of me! So drink of the blood I provide you, and you shall all forever wander, in the shadows of death!" The Chanting Whores: "Oh yes, Master! Let us receive thine offer, and drink with thee! And become a part of thy realm, with lust, sex and sodomy. For we are those who seek life eternally!" The Beast: "Blood is life and it shall be all ours!" |

I could drag you to my chambers, and strip you naked in darkness. I could pull out your fingernails one by one, and rape you until you find no hope. I could rip your guts out, and let you watch me, sacrifice your unborn child. I could leave you to starve, and even bring you to total silence. But I won’t! For I find no pleasure, in your physical pain. I want your christian soul to crumble. Your fucking soul! When I have seen your church go up in flames, and you are weeping, I will laugh. When I have seen you mourn over loved ones, I’ll feel bliss when your mortal souls is in ruins. I will grin in the shadows, for that gives me pleasure. Tormenting a christian soul! |

Soul on departure 666, onward into another existence. A trip far beyond all pleasant dreams, a voyage through desolation sights. Inner transformation, subconscious light. In the glance fields of fires, in the distance meadows of mists. Where minds being enshrouded, in complete night. The fading of love, life and light. Wandering an endless journey, dead within a trace. Entering a lost dominion, soulless and free. Visiting a foreign place, but yet so known. Another dimension, opens for me to see. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Soul on arrival 666, one short step from unhallowed ground. The ground of a kingdom come. Dead spirits communion, unorthodox profane void. Gardens, temples, palaces, I have seen them all! In search for insanity, sanity slowly drowns in trance. |

Salvation turned to bleed despair, compassion fled. Sadistic delight flowed, like Hell burned brighter. Existence woven into darkness, prudence did fall. In Satan’s beauty, life was found. A flow of orgasmic fire, swept through the cosmic night. I enthroned darkness triumphant, with the searing trident of the inferno. Gaze towards the Heavens, an you might catch a glimpse of me. |

Illness and plagues, torture and blight is what she brings. Mocking holy standards, deceiving feeble fools is what she loves. Granted with powers, gifted with magic. Watching the world, through raven eyes. Damned woman, mischievous whore. Heretic princess, Devil’s own. Her seductive elegance, excites your weak flesh. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. You damned woman, you mischievous whore. You heretic princess, you are Devil’s own. A serenade made out of black magic, she has learned to set souls afire, and makes sure that, you never will leave it’s trance. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. |

I could rip your guts out, and let you watch me, sacrifice your unborn child. I could leave you to starve, and even bring you to total silence. But I won’t! For I find no pleasure, in your physical pain. I want your christian soul to crumble. Your fucking soul! When I have seen your church go up in flames, and you are weeping, I will laugh. When I have seen you mourn over loved ones, I’ll feel bliss when your mortal souls is in ruins. I will grin in the shadows, for that gives me pleasure. Tormenting a christian soul! |

Soul on departure 666, onward into another existence. A trip far beyond all pleasant dreams, a voyage through desolation sights. Inner transformation, subconscious light. In the glance fields of fires, in the distance meadows of mists. Where minds being enshrouded, in complete night. The fading of love, life and light. Wandering an endless journey, dead within a trace. Entering a lost dominion, soulless and free. Visiting a foreign place, but yet so known. Another dimension, opens for me to see. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Heaven sure ain’t made, for me to be. Soul on arrival 666, one short step from unhallowed ground. The ground of a kingdom come. Dead spirits communion, unorthodox profane void. Gardens, temples, palaces, I have seen them all! In search for insanity, sanity slowly drowns in trance. |

Master of disharmony, welcome my tainted soul. Take me from the hordes of the living, into the blessed darkness. Master of disorder, take my impure flesh. Lead me unto the path of temptation, save me from cowardness. Save me from cowardness! Master of sin, take my cursed heart. Bring me where I can find salvation, for I am the damned. Master of death, take my pitiful life. I am enslaved, I shall never forget the pain. Master of sin, take my cursed heart. Bring me where I can find salvation. For I am the damned! Master of death, take my pitiful life. I am enslaved, I shall never forget the pain. |

He became the swarm! Indeed a pitiful imitation, to the verge of a quiet glance, an oracle without eyes. Darkness, precious companion, even thou can’t see his face. Salvation turned to bleed despair, compassion fled. Sadistic delight flowed, like Hell burned brighter. Existence woven into darkness, prudence did fall. In Satan’s beauty, life was found. A flow of orgasmic fire, swept through the cosmic night. I enthroned darkness triumphant, with the searing trident of the inferno. Gaze towards the Heavens, an you might catch a glimpse of me. |

10. | A Succubus in Rapture | 05:57 | Show lyrics |
Illness and plagues, torture and blight is what she brings. Mocking holy standards, deceiving feeble fools is what she loves. Granted with powers, gifted with magic. Watching the world, through raven eyes. Damned woman, mischievous whore. Heretic princess, Devil’s own. Her seductive elegance, excites your weak flesh. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. You damned woman, you mischievous whore. You heretic princess, you are Devil’s own. A serenade made out of black magic, she has learned to set souls afire, and makes sure that, you never will leave it’s trance. Her diabolical beauty, enchants your bewildered mind. |

1. | Mourning Palace | 05:12 | Show lyrics |
Daylight has finally reached its end, as evenfall strikes into the sky. Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight, sickening souls cry out in pain. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace. Feel the gloom of restless spirits, hear the screams from the Mourning Palace. Feel the doom of haunting chants. Eternal is their lives in misery, eternal is their lives in grief. Abandoned in a void of nothingness. A chain of anger, a fetter of despair. In this garden of depraved beings, this unsacred place of helpless ones. Satan blessed the creatures, inswathed them in endless night. Whispering voices and summoning screams, waiting for Satan to bless their sins. Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, possessed by the search for utter darkness. |

2. | Spellbound (By the Devil) | 04:07 | Show lyrics |
You have returned to the torture-chambers, to find peace among the rotting corpses. You have returned to the execution place, to inhale the smell of blood. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. You have returned, to the hidden graves only you know about. You have returned to to face your victims, and feel sensation of violence once again. Once again! Death and terror rules the soul! You have been spellbound by the Devil. Murderer, you have returned, to create fear and sorrow. Death and terror rules the land! We have been spellbound by the Devil. |

3. | In Death’s Embrace | 05:41 | Show lyrics |
By the light of the moon, and the beings of the night. A curse has been laid upon us, to seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces. By the power of death, and the shadow of the reaper. A call has been brought upon us, to complete the infinite fall of heaven. Without the wit or will to end this journey, we continue travelling towards our faith. Harvesting helpless Christian spirits, raping the sanctity of saints. The heavenly father is streching his hand, pathetically begging for mercy. We spit and piss on his sacred flesh, as we breathe the breath of the unholy. For with the sign of the pentagram, hellfire rage is for us to come. As we shall wander the pit, unhallowed by the infernal one. We are forever captured, by the embrace of death. |

4. | Relinquishment of Spirit and Flesh | 05:31 | Show lyrics |
King of tempests and storms, Lord of innumerable figures and forms. Blessed with thy cold I am! As I upon the shoulders of mine, bear the burden of thine. Once I got touched, by a fire from beyond. An invitation to darkness, of which I could not resist. Caressed by the feathers of the fallen, I took the fate in my hand. My raging commander, my constant shade. My soul’s persecutor, my eternal divinity. Revealing thy powers, in visions and dreams. Invoking your magic at night. Honoured I am, to mission thy word. Within a creed is sworn, of majestic might. An infernal allegiance, in which I pay my share. An unholy awakening, inside of which I intend to bear. Beholding thy commotion! I entreat you with devotion, I subsume your might with strength. I will carry on with you as my guardian, against the lambs of the light. Possessed by the true God of earth I am, possessed for eternity. |

5. | The Night Masquerade | 04:23 | Show lyrics |
A scarlet sunset, the threshold to nightplay. A sinful oath is to be sworn. A beckoning bloodlust, among the seekers. Tyrannic hunger yearns! A gathering in flames and fires, Devil’s daughters dance. Scourged in filth obscene and lewd, longing for dark desires. The nocturnal beast appears, in an evil despotic shape. Expectant watching gracelessly, before demanding the sluts of lust. The Beast: "Come forth harlots, let’s begin! Rise and give praise in front of me, and receive eternal life from me! Welcome my spirit in honour of me! So drink of the blood I provide you, and you shall all forever wander, in the shadows of death!" The Chanting Whores: "Oh yes, Master! Let us receive thine offer, and drink with thee! And become a part of thy realm, with lust, sex and sodomy. For we are those who seek life eternally!" The Beast: "Blood is life and it shall be all ours!" |

Gjennom tideløse mørke drømmer. I fuktig høstvind over landstrakte vidder Mot Sorias fjellheim Kommer jeg, en fandens ridder Glatt er runen på det høye fjell Gnidd vekk av regn og vind Dragende kraft av ondskap lurer Her ved trollheims muldne grind Fortumlet av dette mørke byggverk Med røvet gull fra lysets pakt Brukt som spott til å senke Deres murer Vi grunder over dette riket Så vakkert fylt med tideløs skumring Som en stjerne i tomsindighetens juv Det bringer frem en nattlig mimring Over tanker fra en vissen tid Drott til himmel er det reist Av tidens endeløse svarte minner Stormblåst ut av det sorte indre Har bergflint rullet fra mo til kneist Undring og angst samler seg i natten I mørket som ruver om spiret For ingen dag kan veien hit Intet lys kan luske frem Der sorg har beseiret alle gleder Og bygd et land på menneskets jord Fylt med isklad prakt og heder |

Daylight has finally reached it’s end As evenfall strikes into the sky Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight Sickening souls cry out in pain Whispering voices summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace Feel the gloom of restless spirits Hear the screams from the Mourning Palace Feel the doom of haunting chants Eternal is their lives in misery Eternal is their lives in grief Abandoned in a void of nothingness A chain of anger, a fetter of despair In this garden of depraved beings This unsacred place of helpless ones Satan blessed the creatures Inswathed them in endless night Whispering voices, summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness |

By the light of the moon And the beeings of the night A curse has been laid upon us To seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces By the power of death And the shadow of the reaper A call has been brought upon us To complete the infinite fall of heaven Without the wit or will to end this journey We continue travelling towards our faith Harvesting helpless Christian spirits Raping the sanctity of saints The heavenly father is streching his hand Pathetically begging for mercy We spit and piss on his sacred flesh As we breathe the breath of the unholy For with the sign of the pentagram Hellfire rage is for us to come As we shall wander the pit Uhallowed by the infernal one We are forever captured By the embrace of death |

The witchborn queen, leader of demonic whores Profane mistress, captor of sin Sworn to feed the ill and the weak and bring their women and men into temptation Eliza, the whore of the night attends the sabbath, the theatre of lust The hunter is in the ring, caressing folds of flesh - Diabolical intercourse profound She who brings horror to the insane and haunts the sick and its kind Selector of innocent holy infants tempting their flesh, poisoning their mind The young harlot, who acts by the trust of her fate Cursed beneath the hands of doom, the grand master of hate For her and hers the bells chime Damnation’s own Evil superior siren, moonchild domain - A sculpture for the holy to burn |

The quest for Azunda hath drawn near The young king, the chaos he brings With iron grip’s sword, chants come forth The child of dark he is In prophecy, chaos not near In chaos, prophecies began This child of dark, hath foreseen He makes his own destiny The magic he creates is from his will The magic of Azunda, he shall receive Iron grip’s sword guides his path To the place which is no more The journey to this place is creation In this creation, he shall be Living for himself and his destiny In his path, lies of the prophecies In his mind he sees another Who wishes to receive, Azunda He sees light within in his enemy And laughs at the prophecy His will and his word is his sorcery He is waiting for thee To put an end to this prophecy Azunda, give your power to me The child of dark has found thee And now must destroy, evil thee Iron Grip’s sword has gone through thee Now, Azunda is mine for all to see The king’s task has been complete The chaos has begun for all to see |

Gjennom tideløse mørke drømmer. I fuktig høstvind over landstrakte vidder Mot Sorias fjellheim Kommer jeg, en fandens ridder Glatt er runen på det høye fjell Gnidd vekk av regn og vind Dragende kraft av ondskap lurer Her ved trollheims muldne grind Fortumlet av dette mørke byggverk Med røvet gull fra lysets pakt Brukt som spott til å senke Deres murer Vi grunder over dette riket Så vakkert fylt med tideløs skumring Som en stjerne i tomsindighetens juv Det bringer frem en nattlig mimring Over tanker fra en vissen tid Drott til himmel er det reist Av tidens endeløse svarte minner Stormblåst ut av det sorte indre Har bergflint rullet fra mo til kneist Undring og angst samler seg i natten I mørket som ruver om spiret For ingen dag kan veien hit Intet lys kan luske frem Der sorg har beseiret alle gleder Og bygd et land på menneskets jord Fylt med isklad prakt og heder |

Daylight has finally reached it’s end As evenfall strikes into the sky Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight Sickening souls cry out in pain Whispering voices summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace Feel the gloom of restless spirits Hear the screams from the Mourning Palace Feel the doom of haunting chants Eternal is their lives in misery Eternal is their lives in grief Abandoned in a void of nothingness A chain of anger, a fetter of despair In this garden of depraved beings This unsacred place of helpless ones Satan blessed the creatures Inswathed them in endless night Whispering voices, summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness |

The quest for Azunda hath drawn near The young king, the chaos he brings With iron grip’s sword, chants come forth The child of dark he is In prophecy, chaos not near In chaos, prophecies began This child of dark, hath foreseen He makes his own destiny The magic he creates is from his will The magic of Azunda, he shall receive Iron grip’s sword guides his path To the place which is no more The journey to this place is creation In this creation, he shall be Living for himself and his destiny In his path, lies of the prophecies In his mind he sees another Who wishes to receive, Azunda He sees light within in his enemy And laughs at the prophecy His will and his word is his sorcery He is waiting for thee To put an end to this prophecy Azunda, give your power to me The child of dark has found thee And now must destroy, evil thee Iron Grip’s sword has gone through thee Now, Azunda is mine for all to see The king’s task has been complete The chaos has begun for all to see |

Gjennom tideløse mørke drømmer. I fuktig høstvind over landstrakte vidder Mot Sorias fjellheim Kommer jeg, en fandens ridder Glatt er runen på det høye fjell Gnidd vekk av regn og vind Dragende kraft av ondskap lurer Her ved trollheims muldne grind Fortumlet av dette mørke byggverk Med røvet gull fra lysets pakt Brukt som spott til å senke Deres murer Vi grunder over dette riket Så vakkert fylt med tideløs skumring Som en stjerne i tomsindighetens juv Det bringer frem en nattlig mimring Over tanker fra en vissen tid Drott til himmel er det reist Av tidens endeløse svarte minner Stormblåst ut av det sorte indre Har bergflint rullet fra mo til kneist Undring og angst samler seg i natten I mørket som ruver om spiret For ingen dag kan veien hit Intet lys kan luske frem Der sorg har beseiret alle gleder Og bygd et land på menneskets jord Fylt med isklad prakt og heder |

By the light of the moon And the beeings of the night A curse has been laid upon us To seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces By the power of death And the shadow of the reaper A call has been brought upon us To complete the infinite fall of heaven Without the wit or will to end this journey We continue travelling towards our faith Harvesting helpless Christian spirits Raping the sanctity of saints The heavenly father is streching his hand Pathetically begging for mercy We spit and piss on his sacred flesh As we breathe the breath of the unholy For with the sign of the pentagram Hellfire rage is for us to come As we shall wander the pit Uhallowed by the infernal one We are forever captured By the embrace of death |

Daylight has finally reached it’s end As evenfall strikes into the sky Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight Sickening souls cry out in pain Whispering voices summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace Feel the gloom of restless spirits Hear the screams from the Mourning Palace Feel the doom of haunting chants Eternal is their lives in misery Eternal is their lives in grief Abandoned in a void of nothingness A chain of anger, a fetter of despair In this garden of depraved beings This unsacred place of helpless ones Satan blessed the creatures Inswathed them in endless night Whispering voices, summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness |

By the light of the moon And the beeings of the night A curse has been laid upon us To seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces By the power of death And the shadow of the reaper A call has been brought upon us To complete the infinite fall of heaven Without the wit or will to end this journey We continue travelling towards our faith Harvesting helpless Christian spirits Raping the sanctity of saints The heavenly father is streching his hand Pathetically begging for mercy We spit and piss on his sacred flesh As we breathe the breath of the unholy For with the sign of the pentagram Hellfire rage is for us to come As we shall wander the pit Uhallowed by the infernal one We are forever captured By the embrace of death |

Daylight has finally reached it’s end As evenfall strikes into the sky Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight Sickening souls cry out in pain Whispering voices summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace Feel the gloom of restless spirits Hear the screams from the Mourning Palace Feel the doom of haunting chants Eternal is their lives in misery Eternal is their lives in grief Abandoned in a void of nothingness A chain of anger, a fetter of despair In this garden of depraved beings This unsacred place of helpless ones Satan blessed the creatures Inswathed them in endless night Whispering voices, summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness |

The witchborn queen, leader of demonic whores Profane mistress, captor of sin Sworn to feed the ill and the weak and bring their women and men into temptation Eliza, the whore of the night attends the sabbath, the theatre of lust The hunter is in the ring, caressing folds of flesh - Diabolical intercourse profound She who brings horror to the insane and haunts the sick and its kind Selector of innocent holy infants tempting their flesh, poisoning their mind The young harlot, who acts by the trust of her fate Cursed beneath the hands of doom, the grand master of hate For her and hers the bells chime Damnation’s own Evil superior siren, moonchild domain - A sculpture for the holy to burn |

The quest for Azunda hath drawn near The young king, the chaos he brings With iron grip’s sword, chants come forth The child of dark he is In prophecy, chaos not near In chaos, prophecies began This child of dark, hath foreseen He makes his own destiny The magic he creates is from his will The magic of Azunda, he shall receive Iron grip’s sword guides his path To the place which is no more The journey to this place is creation In this creation, he shall be Living for himself and his destiny In his path, lies of the prophecies In his mind he sees another Who wishes to receive, Azunda He sees light within in his enemy And laughs at the prophecy His will and his word is his sorcery He is waiting for thee To put an end to this prophecy Azunda, give your power to me The child of dark has found thee And now must destroy, evil thee Iron Grip’s sword has gone through thee Now, Azunda is mine for all to see The king’s task has been complete The chaos has begun for all to see |

1. | Reptile | 05:17 | Show lyrics |
Glowing eyes, staring eyes! Manifest of evil presence, With entities swept in disease and decay. A fall from paradise, beyond redemption. Wrathchilds afterglow! He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who wraps the serpent around my neck. He who pours poisonous wine in my chalice. He who lets me serve and slip away. So I will take shelter, in the absence of the light. Hiding like a masked miniature in the dark, a revenant without relief it seems. For the art of becoming a progeny, and to be raised in such curse, is to forever creep among naive mortals. Infesting the dead in herds. Infesting the dead in herds! His grandeur of guidance, in round trips obscure. He who immerse my hands in sullen thrills. His paths on which domination linger, he who dares to prove the sanity of mine. He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who lets me serve and slip away. Black unearthly void, creatures crawling. Forbidden forgotten, fairly underrated. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. |

2. | Behind the Curtains of Night-Phantasmagoria | 03:20 | Show lyrics |
A mental inner vortex, as possessions through a wolf’s eye. Envisioning the eclipse, no longer to be blinded by a sunrise. In this final benediction, confronted by mirage of imminent mortality. Time’s set to end the suffering, so follow. I will cherish the secrecies of hearts! Chased by the black shepherds, behind curtains of night. Been found as a tool in their seduction, fatal haze. An escape into abomination. Perished to phasma, a syndrome of another aeon. Soul-obsequial inhesion! Resurged in torrents, of abysmal thoughts. Lost in a helix, blackest might! In stealth I do seek deliverance. In phantasmagoria, vortex utopia. |

3. | Dreamside Dominions | 05:13 | Show lyrics |
When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Like evil omens, in shadowed murmur, they welcome me again. Agonized and flattered to once become, a part of this horror scenario. I descend with arms open wide. When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Armoured and filled, with painful pleasure. Reflecting streams, of monstrous mirages. I will not hide! Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Agonized and flattered I once became, a part of the horror scenario. Armoured and filled with painful pleasure. I did not hide! Now when the gates are no longer shut, I withdraw from the light of the sun. |

4. | United in Unhallowed Grace | 04:22 | Show lyrics |
Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. We embrace the madness, gathered as one. Mourning dead passion, she comes to me. A fate awaits us in the night, in the ruins of creation we will unite. Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. She comes to me, a shining beacon, confused by the sensual innovation. Passion, towards image of mortal evil. Passion embraced by the image, of united death. The enigma lies broken! Searching for those precious moments. Reaching for a higher state of existence, like a newborn migrant in the void. I am smitten by forbidden fruit, possessed by moments of dark splendour. To walk the nightmare terrains forever, the enigma lies broken. Possessed by moments of dark splendour, to walk the nightmare terrains forever. United with new unhallowed grace, this cursed beauty hunts me forever. |

5. | The Promised Future Aeons | 06:51 | Show lyrics |
Erotic and dreamlike still in its mortal disguise, a passionate ritual in the ruined garden theatre. The painted angels shadowed high above, once they gathered to worship at the picture of me. Like a whisper where there are no words appears the perplexed, the statue of might. In the cradle of the next generation a spiralling ruin lost in the gathering dust. The faces you saw in the withering garden, I witnessed the flickering made to look like stone. Quivering like little figures lost in broken flames, never to forget again the names carved in horrid flesh. Those words drawn in water become our legacy of fantasies. Burn the pictures so unexpected in this strange deserted place, once opened its secrets would become the world. Its attributes would continue to unfold forever. Through the fabric of the promised future aeons I offer this suffering of my unwanted father. The stars did wander separated in the forbidden universe. |

6. | The Blazing Monoliths of Defiance | 04:37 | Show lyrics |
With hearts of midnight, brightened by his infernal light. We stand as a monolith of wrath, united under the goat of a thousand young. Two horns thrust upwards in defiance, three inverted as the trinity denied. A phalanx of mourners in black, falling towards nightly terror. Unleash the tempted beast, raised your horns in prideful blasphemy. I’ll be your guide into the glorious darkness, and enchant you like a taste of sin. Unleash the tempted beast, chant there on in words of blazing scorn. Grant me my dark desires, strengthened through the power of Satan. Take pleasure in the torment of the wretched, and rejoice in the delight of the flesh. Behold the face of Satan, and walk the fields of erotic fire. Hunt the Heavens... Godless temples beckon, through gleaming scapes of horrid nightmare. Gathered between symbols and signs, a glow of new light is born out of the night. Give into your lust and carnal desires, in twisted blood-dripping ecstasy. In the name of Satan, I lead you into temptation. |

7. | The Insight and the Catharsis | 07:17 | Show lyrics |
Passenger on confessional course, unlock with the key you behold within. Repair the shadow of your mind and come awake. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand. To be faithful and the instrument so that the ones with blindfold can see what I have seen That there is nothing in between for I am the accomplice. Aghast and tender indulged in sin, embraced by loneliness legions who grin. I blunder into the realms of slumber, I collide with the obscure and see the last fraction of light go by. Plundering the sanity from the insane, and providing appearances in black. Carefully swept in decadent spheres, faces in this world always remain darkened. In circles of dominance emotional deeps unite, fiction and transcendence woven together. In the essence of purity lies wisdom. Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions. What more do you need of proof, human hands conforming cloven hoofs, for I know the secrets and lies behind all truths. Knowledge is power and the power is mine. It’s all mine! So let the children come to me and share the limitless ways to infinity. Escape death and disease and behold youth and vitality. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me how to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand for I am the accomplice. |

8. | Grotesquery Conceiled (Within Measureless Magic) | 05:10 | Show lyrics |
In the shadows of my gallow, I’d rather absent the hallow. Thy presence made pleasure of pain, thy madness turned sanity into vain. Profoundly wicked owner of soul, the mysteries of thy creation beheld by ghouls. Diabolically disguised heavenly bodies, atrociously desired primordial elements. Plunging through the confused heart of sulphur. In all this darkness, how can man see? Pour misguided fool, it is not God you are talking to. I am not impostrous, hiding behind pearly walls. However, I am still yet to be found, known. I shall guide you on your midnight ride, as the sun fades black. Beyond your grotesque imagination, my name will be revealed. The blood of Christ can’t heal your wounds, give me all of yours and I’ll give you mine. I am the hidden fantasy. In the secrets of my knowledge, there is no God but me. In this shadowy world all are nameless. Outstanding, dressed in majestic splendour, touched by the flames of eternal fire. How I long for your embrace, uttermost desire. |

9. | Arcane Lifeforce Mysteria | 07:03 | Show lyrics |
In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. Ride the beast through paradise, still vipers these mortal burdens. We arise as the portals take form, I leave my feathers again. Infidels and scarecrows, all fallen from Heaven. Captured by the sin of the beast. Mesmerized in total chaos. Engulfed in an overflow, of selfish might. Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. Raped by the sanctity of the unholy, reveals a Hell I never dreamed of. Bewildered by, the arcane life force mysteria. I shed my skin once again! Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. |

Aghast and tender indulged in sin, embraced by loneliness legions who grin. I blunder into the realms of slumber, I collide with the obscure and see the last fraction of light go by. Plundering the sanity from the insane, and providing appearances in black. Carefully swept in decadent spheres, faces in this world always remain darkened. In circles of dominance emotional deeps unite, fiction and transcendence woven together. In the essence of purity lies wisdom. Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions. What more do you need of proof, human hands conforming cloven hoofs, for I know the secrets and lies behind all truths. Knowledge is power and the power is mine. It’s all mine! So let the children come to me and share the limitless ways to infinity. Escape death and disease and behold youth and vitality. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me how to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand for I am the accomplice. |

8. | Grotesquery Conceiled (Within Measureless Magic) | 05:10 | Show lyrics |
In the shadows of my gallow, I’d rather absent the hallow. Thy presence made pleasure of pain, thy madness turned sanity into vain. Profoundly wicked owner of soul, the mysteries of thy creation beheld by ghouls. Diabolically disguised heavenly bodies, atrociously desired primordial elements. Plunging through the confused heart of sulphur. In all this darkness, how can man see? Pour misguided fool, it is not God you are talking to. I am not impostrous, hiding behind pearly walls. However, I am still yet to be found, known. I shall guide you on your midnight ride, as the sun fades black. Beyond your grotesque imagination, my name will be revealed. The blood of Christ can’t heal your wounds, give me all of yours and I’ll give you mine. I am the hidden fantasy. In the secrets of my knowledge, there is no God but me. In this shadowy world all are nameless. Outstanding, dressed in majestic splendour, touched by the flames of eternal fire. How I long for your embrace, uttermost desire. |

9. | Arcane Lifeforce Mysteria | 07:03 | Show lyrics |
In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. Ride the beast through paradise, still vipers these mortal burdens. We arise as the portals take form, I leave my feathers again. Infidels and scarecrows, all fallen from Heaven. Captured by the sin of the beast. Mesmerized in total chaos. Engulfed in an overflow, of selfish might. Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. Raped by the sanctity of the unholy, reveals a Hell I never dreamed of. Bewildered by, the arcane life force mysteria. I shed my skin once again! Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. |

1. | Reptile | 05:17 | Show lyrics |
Glowing eyes, staring eyes! Manifest of evil presence, With entities swept in disease and decay. A fall from paradise, beyond redemption. Wrathchilds afterglow! He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who wraps the serpent around my neck. He who pours poisonous wine in my chalice. He who lets me serve and slip away. So I will take shelter, in the absence of the light. Hiding like a masked miniature in the dark, a revenant without relief it seems. For the art of becoming a progeny, and to be raised in such curse, is to forever creep among naive mortals. Infesting the dead in herds. Infesting the dead in herds! His grandeur of guidance, in round trips obscure. He who immerse my hands in sullen thrills. His paths on which domination linger, he who dares to prove the sanity of mine. He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who lets me serve and slip away. Black unearthly void, creatures crawling. Forbidden forgotten, fairly underrated. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. |

2. | Behind the Curtains of Night-Phantasmagoria | 03:20 | Show lyrics |
A mental inner vortex, as possessions through a wolf’s eye. Envisioning the eclipse, no longer to be blinded by a sunrise. In this final benediction, confronted by mirage of imminent mortality. Time’s set to end the suffering, so follow. I will cherish the secrecies of hearts! Chased by the black shepherds, behind curtains of night. Been found as a tool in their seduction, fatal haze. An escape into abomination. Perished to phasma, a syndrome of another aeon. Soul-obsequial inhesion! Resurged in torrents, of abysmal thoughts. Lost in a helix, blackest might! In stealth I do seek deliverance. In phantasmagoria, vortex utopia. |

3. | Dreamside Dominions | 05:13 | Show lyrics |
When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Like evil omens, in shadowed murmur, they welcome me again. Agonized and flattered to once become, a part of this horror scenario. I descend with arms open wide. When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Armoured and filled, with painful pleasure. Reflecting streams, of monstrous mirages. I will not hide! Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Agonized and flattered I once became, a part of the horror scenario. Armoured and filled with painful pleasure. I did not hide! Now when the gates are no longer shut, I withdraw from the light of the sun. |

4. | United in Unhallowed Grace | 04:22 | Show lyrics |
Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. We embrace the madness, gathered as one. Mourning dead passion, she comes to me. A fate awaits us in the night, in the ruins of creation we will unite. Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. She comes to me, a shining beacon, confused by the sensual innovation. Passion, towards image of mortal evil. Passion embraced by the image, of united death. The enigma lies broken! Searching for those precious moments. Reaching for a higher state of existence, like a newborn migrant in the void. I am smitten by forbidden fruit, possessed by moments of dark splendour. To walk the nightmare terrains forever, the enigma lies broken. Possessed by moments of dark splendour, to walk the nightmare terrains forever. United with new unhallowed grace, this cursed beauty hunts me forever. |

5. | The Promised Future Aeons | 06:51 | Show lyrics |
Erotic and dreamlike still in its mortal disguise, a passionate ritual in the ruined garden theatre. The painted angels shadowed high above, once they gathered to worship at the picture of me. Like a whisper where there are no words appears the perplexed, the statue of might. In the cradle of the next generation a spiralling ruin lost in the gathering dust. The faces you saw in the withering garden, I witnessed the flickering made to look like stone. Quivering like little figures lost in broken flames, never to forget again the names carved in horrid flesh. Those words drawn in water become our legacy of fantasies. Burn the pictures so unexpected in this strange deserted place, once opened its secrets would become the world. Its attributes would continue to unfold forever. Through the fabric of the promised future aeons I offer this suffering of my unwanted father. The stars did wander separated in the forbidden universe. |

6. | The Blazing Monoliths of Defiance | 04:37 | Show lyrics |
With hearts of midnight, brightened by his infernal light. We stand as a monolith of wrath, united under the goat of a thousand young. Two horns thrust upwards in defiance, three inverted as the trinity denied. A phalanx of mourners in black, falling towards nightly terror. Unleash the tempted beast, raised your horns in prideful blasphemy. I’ll be your guide into the glorious darkness, and enchant you like a taste of sin. Unleash the tempted beast, chant there on in words of blazing scorn. Grant me my dark desires, strengthened through the power of Satan. Take pleasure in the torment of the wretched, and rejoice in the delight of the flesh. Behold the face of Satan, and walk the fields of erotic fire. Hunt the Heavens... Godless temples beckon, through gleaming scapes of horrid nightmare. Gathered between symbols and signs, a glow of new light is born out of the night. Give into your lust and carnal desires, in twisted blood-dripping ecstasy. In the name of Satan, I lead you into temptation. |

The blood of Christ can’t heal your wounds, give me all of yours and I’ll give you mine. I am the hidden fantasy. In the secrets of my knowledge, there is no God but me. In this shadowy world all are nameless. Outstanding, dressed in majestic splendour, touched by the flames of eternal fire. How I long for your embrace, uttermost desire. |

9. | Arcane Lifeforce Mysteria | 07:03 | Show lyrics |
In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. Ride the beast through paradise, still vipers these mortal burdens. We arise as the portals take form, I leave my feathers again. Infidels and scarecrows, all fallen from Heaven. Captured by the sin of the beast. Mesmerized in total chaos. Engulfed in an overflow, of selfish might. Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. Raped by the sanctity of the unholy, reveals a Hell I never dreamed of. Bewildered by, the arcane life force mysteria. I shed my skin once again! Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. |

1. | Reptile | 05:17 | Show lyrics |
Glowing eyes, staring eyes! Manifest of evil presence, With entities swept in disease and decay. A fall from paradise, beyond redemption. Wrathchilds afterglow! He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who wraps the serpent around my neck. He who pours poisonous wine in my chalice. He who lets me serve and slip away. So I will take shelter, in the absence of the light. Hiding like a masked miniature in the dark, a revenant without relief it seems. For the art of becoming a progeny, and to be raised in such curse, is to forever creep among naive mortals. Infesting the dead in herds. Infesting the dead in herds! His grandeur of guidance, in round trips obscure. He who immerse my hands in sullen thrills. His paths on which domination linger, he who dares to prove the sanity of mine. He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who lets me serve and slip away. Black unearthly void, creatures crawling. Forbidden forgotten, fairly underrated. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. |

2. | Behind the Curtains of Night-Phantasmagoria | 03:20 | Show lyrics |
A mental inner vortex, as possessions through a wolf’s eye. Envisioning the eclipse, no longer to be blinded by a sunrise. In this final benediction, confronted by mirage of imminent mortality. Time’s set to end the suffering, so follow. I will cherish the secrecies of hearts! Chased by the black shepherds, behind curtains of night. Been found as a tool in their seduction, fatal haze. An escape into abomination. Perished to phasma, a syndrome of another aeon. Soul-obsequial inhesion! Resurged in torrents, of abysmal thoughts. Lost in a helix, blackest might! In stealth I do seek deliverance. In phantasmagoria, vortex utopia. |

When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Like evil omens, in shadowed murmur, they welcome me again. Agonized and flattered to once become, a part of this horror scenario. I descend with arms open wide. When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Armoured and filled, with painful pleasure. Reflecting streams, of monstrous mirages. I will not hide! Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Agonized and flattered I once became, a part of the horror scenario. Armoured and filled with painful pleasure. I did not hide! Now when the gates are no longer shut, I withdraw from the light of the sun. |

Unfolding her carnal desires to me With tempting eyes she does receive A hunter of the night devil’s whore May her cursed beauty hunt me forever We embrace the madness gathered as one Mourning dead passion... she comes to me A fate awaits us in the night In the ruins of creation we will unite Unfolding her carnal desires to me With tempting eyes she does receive A hunter of the night devil’s whore May her cursed beauty hunt me forever She comes to me - a shining beacon Confused by the sensual innovation Passion... towards image of mortal evil Passion... embraced by the image of united death The enigma lies broken Searching for those precious moments Reaching for a higher of existence Like a newborn migrant in the void I am smitten by forbidden fruit Possessed by moments of dark splendour To walk the nightmare terrains forever The enigma lies broken Possessed by moments of dark splendour To walk the nightmare terrains forever United with new unhallowed grace This cursed beauty hunts me forever |

5. | The Promised Future Aeons | 06:51 | Show lyrics |
Erotic and dreamlike still in its mortal disguise, a passionate ritual in the ruined garden theatre. The painted angels shadowed high above, once they gathered to worship at the picture of me. Like a whisper where there are no words appears the perplexed, the statue of might. In the cradle of the next generation a spiralling ruin lost in the gathering dust. The faces you saw in the withering garden, I witnessed the flickering made to look like stone. Quivering like little figures lost in broken flames, never to forget again the names carved in horrid flesh. Those words drawn in water become our legacy of fantasies. Burn the pictures so unexpected in this strange deserted place, once opened its secrets would become the world. Its attributes would continue to unfold forever. Through the fabric of the promised future aeons I offer this suffering of my unwanted father. The stars did wander separated in the forbidden universe. |

6. | The Blazing Monoliths of Defiance | 04:37 | Show lyrics |
With hearts of midnight, brightened by his infernal light. We stand as a monolith of wrath, united under the goat of a thousand young. Two horns thrust upwards in defiance, three inverted as the trinity denied. A phalanx of mourners in black, falling towards nightly terror. Unleash the tempted beast, raised your horns in prideful blasphemy. I’ll be your guide into the glorious darkness, and enchant you like a taste of sin. Unleash the tempted beast, chant there on in words of blazing scorn. Grant me my dark desires, strengthened through the power of Satan. Take pleasure in the torment of the wretched, and rejoice in the delight of the flesh. Behold the face of Satan, and walk the fields of erotic fire. Hunt the Heavens... Godless temples beckon, through gleaming scapes of horrid nightmare. Gathered between symbols and signs, a glow of new light is born out of the night. Give into your lust and carnal desires, in twisted blood-dripping ecstasy. In the name of Satan, I lead you into temptation. |

Passenger on confessional course, unlock with the key you behold within. Repair the shadow of your mind and come awake. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand. To be faithful and the instrument so that the ones with blindfold can see what I have seen That there is nothing in between for I am the accomplice. Aghast and tender indulged in sin, embraced by loneliness legions who grin. I blunder into the realms of slumber, I collide with the obscure and see the last fraction of light go by. Plundering the sanity from the insane, and providing appearances in black. Carefully swept in decadent spheres, faces in this world always remain darkened. In circles of dominance emotional deeps unite, fiction and transcendence woven together. In the essence of purity lies wisdom. Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions. What more do you need of proof, human hands conforming cloven hoofs, for I know the secrets and lies behind all truths. Knowledge is power and the power is mine. It’s all mine! So let the children come to me and share the limitless ways to infinity. Escape death and disease and behold youth and vitality. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me how to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand for I am the accomplice. |

In the shadows of my gallow, I’d rather absent the hallow. Thy presence made pleasure of pain, thy madness turned sanity into vain.

Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. We embrace the madness, gathered as one. Mourning dead passion, she comes to me. A fate awaits us in the night, in the ruins of creation we will unite. Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. She comes to me, a shining beacon, confused by the sensual innovation. Passion, towards image of mortal evil. Passion embraced by the image, of united death. The enigma lies broken! Searching for those precious moments. Reaching for a higher state of existence, like a newborn migrant in the void. I am smitten by forbidden fruit, possessed by moments of dark splendour. To walk the nightmare terrains forever, the enigma lies broken. Possessed by moments of dark splendour, to walk the nightmare terrains forever. United with new unhallowed grace, this cursed beauty hunts me forever. |

Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. |

1. | Reptile | 05:17 | Show lyrics |
Glowing eyes, staring eyes! Manifest of evil presence, With entities swept in disease and decay. A fall from paradise, beyond redemption. Wrathchilds afterglow! He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who wraps the serpent around my neck. He who pours poisonous wine in my chalice. He who lets me serve and slip away. So I will take shelter, in the absence of the light. Hiding like a masked miniature in the dark, a revenant without relief it seems. For the art of becoming a progeny, and to be raised in such curse, is to forever creep among naive mortals. Infesting the dead in herds. Infesting the dead in herds! His grandeur of guidance, in round trips obscure. He who immerse my hands in sullen thrills. His paths on which domination linger, he who dares to prove the sanity of mine. He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who lets me serve and slip away. Black unearthly void, creatures crawling. Forbidden forgotten, fairly underrated. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. |

2. | Behind the Curtains of Night-Phantasmagoria | 03:20 | Show lyrics |
A mental inner vortex, as possessions through a wolf’s eye. Envisioning the eclipse, no longer to be blinded by a sunrise. In this final benediction, confronted by mirage of imminent mortality. Time’s set to end the suffering, so follow. I will cherish the secrecies of hearts! Chased by the black shepherds, behind curtains of night. Been found as a tool in their seduction, fatal haze. An escape into abomination. Perished to phasma, a syndrome of another aeon. Soul-obsequial inhesion! Resurged in torrents, of abysmal thoughts. Lost in a helix, blackest might! In stealth I do seek deliverance. In phantasmagoria, vortex utopia. |

3. | Dreamside Dominions | 05:13 | Show lyrics |
When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Like evil omens, in shadowed murmur, they welcome me again. Agonized and flattered to once become, a part of this horror scenario. I descend with arms open wide. When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Armoured and filled, with painful pleasure. Reflecting streams, of monstrous mirages. I will not hide! Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Agonized and flattered I once became, a part of the horror scenario. Armoured and filled with painful pleasure. I did not hide! Now when the gates are no longer shut, I withdraw from the light of the sun. |

4. | United in Unhallowed Grace | 04:22 | Show lyrics |
Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. We embrace the madness, gathered as one. Mourning dead passion, she comes to me. A fate awaits us in the night, in the ruins of creation we will unite. Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. She comes to me, a shining beacon, confused by the sensual innovation. Passion, towards image of mortal evil. Passion embraced by the image, of united death. The enigma lies broken! Searching for those precious moments. Reaching for a higher state of existence, like a newborn migrant in the void. I am smitten by forbidden fruit, possessed by moments of dark splendour. To walk the nightmare terrains forever, the enigma lies broken. Possessed by moments of dark splendour, to walk the nightmare terrains forever. United with new unhallowed grace, this cursed beauty hunts me forever. |

5. | The Promised Future Aeons | 06:51 | Show lyrics |
Erotic and dreamlike still in its mortal disguise, a passionate ritual in the ruined garden theatre. The painted angels shadowed high above, once they gathered to worship at the picture of me. Like a whisper where there are no words appears the perplexed, the statue of might. In the cradle of the next generation a spiralling ruin lost in the gathering dust. The faces you saw in the withering garden, I witnessed the flickering made to look like stone. Quivering like little figures lost in broken flames, never to forget again the names carved in horrid flesh. Those words drawn in water become our legacy of fantasies. Burn the pictures so unexpected in this strange deserted place, once opened its secrets would become the world. Its attributes would continue to unfold forever. Through the fabric of the promised future aeons I offer this suffering of my unwanted father. The stars did wander separated in the forbidden universe. |

6. | The Blazing Monoliths of Defiance | 04:37 | Show lyrics |
With hearts of midnight, brightened by his infernal light. We stand as a monolith of wrath, united under the goat of a thousand young. Two horns thrust upwards in defiance, three inverted as the trinity denied. A phalanx of mourners in black, falling towards nightly terror. Unleash the tempted beast, raised your horns in prideful blasphemy. I’ll be your guide into the glorious darkness, and enchant you like a taste of sin. Unleash the tempted beast, chant there on in words of blazing scorn. Grant me my dark desires, strengthened through the power of Satan. Take pleasure in the torment of the wretched, and rejoice in the delight of the flesh. Behold the face of Satan, and walk the fields of erotic fire. Hunt the Heavens... Godless temples beckon, through gleaming scapes of horrid nightmare. Gathered between symbols and signs, a glow of new light is born out of the night. Give into your lust and carnal desires, in twisted blood-dripping ecstasy. In the name of Satan, I lead you into temptation. |

7. | The Insight and the Catharsis | 07:17 | Show lyrics |
Passenger on confessional course, unlock with the key you behold within. Repair the shadow of your mind and come awake. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand. To be faithful and the instrument so that the ones with blindfold can see what I have seen That there is nothing in between for I am the accomplice. Aghast and tender indulged in sin, embraced by loneliness legions who grin. I blunder into the realms of slumber, I collide with the obscure and see the last fraction of light go by. Plundering the sanity from the insane, and providing appearances in black. Carefully swept in decadent spheres, faces in this world always remain darkened. In circles of dominance emotional deeps unite, fiction and transcendence woven together. In the essence of purity lies wisdom. Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions. What more do you need of proof, human hands conforming cloven hoofs, for I know the secrets and lies behind all truths. Knowledge is power and the power is mine. It’s all mine! So let the children come to me and share the limitless ways to infinity. Escape death and disease and behold youth and vitality. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me how to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand for I am the accomplice. |

8. | Grotesquery Conceiled (Within Measureless Magic) | 05:10 | Show lyrics |
In the shadows of my gallow, I’d rather absent the hallow. Thy presence made pleasure of pain, thy madness turned sanity into vain. Profoundly wicked owner of soul, the mysteries of thy creation beheld by ghouls. Diabolically disguised heavenly bodies, atrociously desired primordial elements. Plunging through the confused heart of sulphur. In all this darkness, how can man see? Pour misguided fool, it is not God you are talking to. I am not impostrous, hiding behind pearly walls. However, I am still yet to be found, known. I shall guide you on your midnight ride, as the sun fades black. Beyond your grotesque imagination, my name will be revealed. The blood of Christ can’t heal your wounds, give me all of yours and I’ll give you mine. I am the hidden fantasy. In the secrets of my knowledge, there is no God but me. In this shadowy world all are nameless. Outstanding, dressed in majestic splendour, touched by the flames of eternal fire. How I long for your embrace, uttermost desire. |

9. | Arcane Lifeforce Mysteria | 07:03 | Show lyrics |
In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. Ride the beast through paradise, still vipers these mortal burdens. We arise as the portals take form, I leave my feathers again. Infidels and scarecrows, all fallen from Heaven. Captured by the sin of the beast. Mesmerized in total chaos. Engulfed in an overflow, of selfish might. Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. Raped by the sanctity of the unholy, reveals a Hell I never dreamed of. Bewildered by, the arcane life force mysteria. I shed my skin once again!

Hiding like a masked miniature in the dark, a revenant without relief it seems. For the art of becoming a progeny, and to be raised in such curse, is to forever creep among naive mortals. Infesting the dead in herds. Infesting the dead in herds! His grandeur of guidance, in round trips obscure. He who immerse my hands in sullen thrills. His paths on which domination linger, he who dares to prove the sanity of mine. He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who lets me serve and slip away. Black unearthly void, creatures crawling. Forbidden forgotten, fairly underrated. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands.

2. | Behind the Curtains of Night-Phantasmagoria | 03:20 | Show lyrics |
A mental inner vortex, as possessions through a wolf’s eye. Envisioning the eclipse, no longer to be blinded by a sunrise. In this final benediction, confronted by mirage of imminent mortality. Time’s set to end the suffering, so follow. I will cherish the secrecies of hearts! Chased by the black shepherds, behind curtains of night. Been found as a tool in their seduction, fatal haze. An escape into abomination. Perished to phasma, a syndrome of another aeon. Soul-obsequial inhesion! Resurged in torrents, of abysmal thoughts. Lost in a helix, blackest might! In stealth I do seek deliverance. In phantasmagoria, vortex utopia. |

When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Like evil omens, in shadowed murmur, they welcome me again. Agonized and flattered to once become, a part of this horror scenario. I descend with arms open wide. When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Armoured and filled, with painful pleasure. Reflecting streams, of monstrous mirages. I will not hide! Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Agonized and flattered I once became, a part of the horror scenario. Armoured and filled with painful pleasure. I did not hide! Now when the gates are no longer shut, I withdraw from the light of the sun. |

4. | United in Unhallowed Grace | 04:22 | Show lyrics |
Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. We embrace the madness, gathered as one. Mourning dead passion, she comes to me. A fate awaits us in the night, in the ruins of creation we will unite. Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. She comes to me, a shining beacon, confused by the sensual innovation. Passion, towards image of mortal evil. Passion embraced by the image, of united death. The enigma lies broken! Searching for those precious moments. Reaching for a higher state of existence, like a newborn migrant in the void. I am smitten by forbidden fruit, possessed by moments of dark splendour. To walk the nightmare terrains forever, the enigma lies broken. Possessed by moments of dark splendour, to walk the nightmare terrains forever. United with new unhallowed grace, this cursed beauty hunts me forever. |

5. | The Promised Future Aeons | 06:51 | Show lyrics |
Erotic and dreamlike still in its mortal disguise, a passionate ritual in the ruined garden theatre. The painted angels shadowed high above, once they gathered to worship at the picture of me. Like a whisper where there are no words appears the perplexed, the statue of might. In the cradle of the next generation a spiralling ruin lost in the gathering dust. The faces you saw in the withering garden, I witnessed the flickering made to look like stone. Quivering like little figures lost in broken flames, never to forget again the names carved in horrid flesh. Those words drawn in water become our legacy of fantasies. Burn the pictures so unexpected in this strange deserted place, once opened its secrets would become the world. Its attributes would continue to unfold forever. Through the fabric of the promised future aeons I offer this suffering of my unwanted father. The stars did wander separated in the forbidden universe. |

6. | The Blazing Monoliths of Defiance | 04:37 | Show lyrics |
With hearts of midnight, brightened by his infernal light. We stand as a monolith of wrath, united under the goat of a thousand young. Two horns thrust upwards in defiance, three inverted as the trinity denied. A phalanx of mourners in black, falling towards nightly terror. Unleash the tempted beast, raised your horns in prideful blasphemy. I’ll be your guide into the glorious darkness, and enchant you like a taste of sin. Unleash the tempted beast, chant there on in words of blazing scorn. Grant me my dark desires, strengthened through the power of Satan. Take pleasure in the torment of the wretched, and rejoice in the delight of the flesh. Behold the face of Satan, and walk the fields of erotic fire. Hunt the Heavens... Godless temples beckon, through gleaming scapes of horrid nightmare. Gathered between symbols and signs, a glow of new light is born out of the night. Give into your lust and carnal desires, in twisted blood-dripping ecstasy. In the name of Satan, I lead you into temptation. |

7. | The Insight and the Catharsis | 07:17 | Show lyrics |
Passenger on confessional course, unlock with the key you behold within. Repair the shadow of your mind and come awake. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand. To be faithful and the instrument so that the ones with blindfold can see what I have seen That there is nothing in between for I am the accomplice. Aghast and tender indulged in sin, embraced by loneliness legions who grin. I blunder into the realms of slumber, I collide with the obscure and see the last fraction of light go by. Plundering the sanity from the insane, and providing appearances in black. Carefully swept in decadent spheres, faces in this world always remain darkened. In circles of dominance emotional deeps unite, fiction and transcendence woven together. In the essence of purity lies wisdom. Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions. What more do you need of proof, human hands conforming cloven hoofs, for I know the secrets and lies behind all truths. Knowledge is power and the power is mine. It’s all mine! So let the children come to me and share the limitless ways to infinity. Escape death and disease and behold youth and vitality. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me how to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand for I am the accomplice. |

8. | Grotesquery Conceiled (Within Measureless Magic) | 05:10 | Show lyrics |
In the shadows of my gallow, I’d rather absent the hallow. Thy presence made pleasure of pain, thy madness turned sanity into vain. Profoundly wicked owner of soul, the mysteries of thy creation beheld by ghouls. Diabolically disguised heavenly bodies, atrociously desired primordial elements. Plunging through the confused heart of sulphur. In all this darkness, how can man see? Pour misguided fool, it is not God you are talking to. I am not impostrous, hiding behind pearly walls. However, I am still yet to be found, known. I shall guide you on your midnight ride, as the sun fades black. Beyond your grotesque imagination, my name will be revealed. The blood of Christ can’t heal your wounds, give me all of yours and I’ll give you mine. I am the hidden fantasy. In the secrets of my knowledge, there is no God but me. In this shadowy world all are nameless. Outstanding, dressed in majestic splendour, touched by the flames of eternal fire. How I long for your embrace, uttermost desire. |

In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. Ride the beast through paradise, still vipers these mortal burdens. We arise as the portals take form, I leave my feathers again. Infidels and scarecrows, all fallen from Heaven. Captured by the sin of the beast. Mesmerized in total chaos. Engulfed in an overflow, of selfish might. Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. Raped by the sanctity of the unholy, reveals a Hell I never dreamed of. Bewildered by, the arcane life force mysteria. I shed my skin once again! Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. |

1. | Reptile | 05:17 | Show lyrics |
Glowing eyes, staring eyes! Manifest of evil presence, With entities swept in disease and decay. A fall from paradise, beyond redemption. Wrathchilds afterglow! He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who wraps the serpent around my neck. He who pours poisonous wine in my chalice. He who lets me serve and slip away. So I will take shelter, in the absence of the light. Hiding like a masked miniature in the dark, a revenant without relief it seems. For the art of becoming a progeny, and to be raised in such curse, is to forever creep among naive mortals. Infesting the dead in herds. Infesting the dead in herds! His grandeur of guidance, in round trips obscure. He who immerse my hands in sullen thrills. His paths on which domination linger, he who dares to prove the sanity of mine. He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who lets me serve and slip away. Black unearthly void, creatures crawling. Forbidden forgotten, fairly underrated. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. |

2. | Behind the Curtains of Night-Phantasmagoria | 03:20 | Show lyrics |
A mental inner vortex, as possessions through a wolf’s eye. Envisioning the eclipse, no longer to be blinded by a sunrise. In this final benediction, confronted by mirage of imminent mortality. Time’s set to end the suffering, so follow. I will cherish the secrecies of hearts! Chased by the black shepherds, behind curtains of night. Been found as a tool in their seduction, fatal haze. An escape into abomination. Perished to phasma, a syndrome of another aeon. Soul-obsequial inhesion! Resurged in torrents, of abysmal thoughts. Lost in a helix, blackest might! In stealth I do seek deliverance. In phantasmagoria, vortex utopia. |

When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Like evil omens, in shadowed murmur, they welcome me again. Agonized and flattered to once become, a part of this horror scenario. I descend with arms open wide. When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Armoured and filled, with painful pleasure. Reflecting streams, of monstrous mirages. I will not hide! Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Agonized and flattered I once became, a part of the horror scenario. Armoured and filled with painful pleasure. I did not hide! Now when the gates are no longer shut, I withdraw from the light of the sun. |

4. | United in Unhallowed Grace | 04:22 | Show lyrics |
Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. We embrace the madness, gathered as one. Mourning dead passion, she comes to me. A fate awaits us in the night, in the ruins of creation we will unite. Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. She comes to me, a shining beacon, confused by the sensual innovation. Passion, towards image of mortal evil. Passion embraced by the image, of united death. The enigma lies broken! Searching for those precious moments. Reaching for a higher state of existence, like a newborn migrant in the void. I am smitten by forbidden fruit, possessed by moments of dark splendour. To walk the nightmare terrains forever, the enigma lies broken. Possessed by moments of dark splendour, to walk the nightmare terrains forever. United with new unhallowed grace, this cursed beauty hunts me forever. |

5. | The Promised Future Aeons | 06:51 | Show lyrics |
Erotic and dreamlike still in its mortal disguise, a passionate ritual in the ruined garden theatre. The painted angels shadowed high above, once they gathered to worship at the picture of me. Like a whisper where there are no words appears the perplexed, the statue of might. In the cradle of the next generation a spiralling ruin lost in the gathering dust. The faces you saw in the withering garden, I witnessed the flickering made to look like stone. Quivering like little figures lost in broken flames, never to forget again the names carved in horrid flesh. Those words drawn in water become our legacy of fantasies. Burn the pictures so unexpected in this strange deserted place, once opened its secrets would become the world. Its attributes would continue to unfold forever. Through the fabric of the promised future aeons I offer this suffering of my unwanted father. The stars did wander separated in the forbidden universe. |

6. | The Blazing Monoliths of Defiance | 04:37 | Show lyrics |
With hearts of midnight, brightened by his infernal light. We stand as a monolith of wrath, united under the goat of a thousand young. Two horns thrust upwards in defiance, three inverted as the trinity denied. A phalanx of mourners in black, falling towards nightly terror. Unleash the tempted beast, raised your horns in prideful blasphemy. I’ll be your guide into the glorious darkness, and enchant you like a taste of sin. Unleash the tempted beast, chant there on in words of blazing scorn. Grant me my dark desires, strengthened through the power of Satan. Take pleasure in the torment of the wretched, and rejoice in the delight of the flesh. Behold the face of Satan, and walk the fields of erotic fire. Hunt the Heavens... Godless temples beckon, through gleaming scapes of horrid nightmare. Gathered between symbols and signs, a glow of new light is born out of the night. Give into your lust and carnal desires, in twisted blood-dripping ecstasy. In the name of Satan, I lead you into temptation. |

Passenger on confessional course, unlock with the key you behold within. Repair the shadow of your mind and come awake. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand. To be faithful and the instrument so that the ones with blindfold can see what I have seen That there is nothing in between for I am the accomplice. Aghast and tender indulged in sin, embraced by loneliness legions who grin. I blunder into the realms of slumber, I collide with the obscure and see the last fraction of light go by. Plundering the sanity from the insane, and providing appearances in black. Carefully swept in decadent spheres, faces in this world always remain darkened. In circles of dominance emotional deeps unite, fiction and transcendence woven together. In the essence of purity lies wisdom. Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions. What more do you need of proof, human hands conforming cloven hoofs, for I know the secrets and lies behind all truths. Knowledge is power and the power is mine. It’s all mine! So let the children come to me and share the limitless ways to infinity. Escape death and disease and behold youth and vitality. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me how to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand for I am the accomplice. |

8. | Grotesquery Conceiled (Within Measureless Magic) | 05:10 | Show lyrics |
In the shadows of my gallow, I’d rather absent the hallow. Thy presence made pleasure of pain, thy madness turned sanity into vain. Profoundly wicked owner of soul, the mysteries of thy creation beheld by ghouls. Diabolically disguised heavenly bodies, atrociously desired primordial elements. Plunging through the confused heart of sulphur. In all this darkness, how can man see? Pour misguided fool, it is not God you are talking to. I am not impostrous, hiding behind pearly walls. However, I am still yet to be found, known. I shall guide you on your midnight ride, as the sun fades black. Beyond your grotesque imagination, my name will be revealed. The blood of Christ can’t heal your wounds, give me all of yours and I’ll give you mine. I am the hidden fantasy. In the secrets of my knowledge, there is no God but me. In this shadowy world all are nameless. Outstanding, dressed in majestic splendour, touched by the flames of eternal fire. How I long for your embrace, uttermost desire. |

9. | Arcane Lifeforce Mysteria | 07:03 | Show lyrics |
In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. Ride the beast through paradise, still vipers these mortal burdens. We arise as the portals take form, I leave my feathers again. Infidels and scarecrows, all fallen from Heaven. Captured by the sin of the beast. Mesmerized in total chaos. Engulfed in an overflow, of selfish might. Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. Raped by the sanctity of the unholy, reveals a Hell I never dreamed of. Bewildered by, the arcane life force mysteria. I shed my skin once again! Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. |

In massing darkness we stand united Raging above inferior sheeps A convoy of souls swept into the night Hearts strengthened with black fire passion In us is fulfilled the prophecy of satan Evolution of the inner shrine In us is mantained the revelation of satan Innocence brought to an end In honour of thy unearthly creation We bring forth thy divine form Vanity throughout any conceptions Blazed and bound for the days are coming Infernal madness,unholy ascendance Christian death abound in mouring perversion Cherished sacred icons torn to pieces They’ll chase the serpent in everlasting nightmare Disharmonic illusions of strings bending loose Wrapped,penetrating skin Listen to the music of their agony Eyes made of glass,mirrors within |

In this shadowy world all are nameless. Outstanding, dressed in majestic splendour, touched by the flames of eternal fire. How I long for your embrace, uttermost desire. |

9. | Arcane Lifeforce Mysteria | 07:03 | Show lyrics |
In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. Ride the beast through paradise, still vipers these mortal burdens. We arise as the portals take form, I leave my feathers again. Infidels and scarecrows, all fallen from Heaven. Captured by the sin of the beast. Mesmerized in total chaos. Engulfed in an overflow, of selfish might. Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. Raped by the sanctity of the unholy, reveals a Hell I never dreamed of. Bewildered by, the arcane life force mysteria. I shed my skin once again! Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. |

Gjennom tideløse mørke drømmer. I fuktig høstvind over landstrakte vidder Mot Sorias fjellheim Kommer jeg, en fandens ridder Glatt er runen på det høye fjell Gnidd vekk av regn og vind Dragende kraft av ondskap lurer Her ved trollheims muldne grind Fortumlet av dette mørke byggverk Med røvet gull fra lysets pakt Brukt som spott til å senke Deres murer Vi grunder over dette riket Så vakkert fylt med tideløs skumring Som en stjerne i tomsindighetens juv Det bringer frem en nattlig mimring Over tanker fra en vissen tid Drott til himmel er det reist Av tidens endeløse svarte minner Stormblåst ut av det sorte indre Har bergflint rullet fra mo til kneist Undring og angst samler seg i natten I mørket som ruver om spiret For ingen dag kan veien hit Intet lys kan luske frem Der sorg har beseiret alle gleder Og bygd et land på menneskets jord Fylt med isklad prakt og heder |

Master of disharmony welcome my tained soul Take me from the hordes of the living into the blessed darkness Master of disorder take my impure flesh Lead me unto the path of temptation save me from the cowardness Save me from the cawardness Master of sin take my cursed heart Bring me where I can find salvation for I am the damned Master of death take my pitiful life I am enslaved I shall never forget the pain Master of sin take my cursed heart Bring me where I can find salvation for I am the damned Master of death take my pitiful life I am enslaved I shall never forget the pain |

12. | In Death’s Embrace (live) | 06:16 | Show lyrics |
By the light of the moon And the beeings of the night A curse has been laid upon us To seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces By the power of death And the shadow of the reaper A call has been brought upon us To complete the infinite fall of heaven Without the wit or will to end this journey We continue travelling towards our faith Harvesting helpless Christian spirits Raping the sanctity of saints The heavenly father is streching his hand Pathetically begging for mercy We spit and piss on his sacred flesh As we breathe the breath of the unholy For with the sign of the pentagram Hellfire rage is for us to come As we shall wander the pit Uhallowed by the infernal one We are forever captured By the embrace of death |

1. | Reptile | 05:17 | Show lyrics |
Glowing eyes, staring eyes! Manifest of evil presence, With entities swept in disease and decay. A fall from paradise, beyond redemption. Wrathchilds afterglow! He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who wraps the serpent around my neck. He who pours poisonous wine in my chalice. He who lets me serve and slip away. So I will take shelter, in the absence of the light. Hiding like a masked miniature in the dark, a revenant without relief it seems. For the art of becoming a progeny, and to be raised in such curse, is to forever creep among naive mortals. Infesting the dead in herds. Infesting the dead in herds! His grandeur of guidance, in round trips obscure. He who immerse my hands in sullen thrills. His paths on which domination linger, he who dares to prove the sanity of mine. He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who lets me serve and slip away. Black unearthly void, creatures crawling. Forbidden forgotten, fairly underrated. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. |

2. | Behind the Curtains of Night-Phantasmagoria | 03:20 | Show lyrics |
A mental inner vortex, as possessions through a wolf’s eye. Envisioning the eclipse, no longer to be blinded by a sunrise. In this final benediction, confronted by mirage of imminent mortality. Time’s set to end the suffering, so follow. I will cherish the secrecies of hearts! Chased by the black shepherds, behind curtains of night. Been found as a tool in their seduction, fatal haze. An escape into abomination. Perished to phasma, a syndrome of another aeon. Soul-obsequial inhesion! Resurged in torrents, of abysmal thoughts. Lost in a helix, blackest might! In stealth I do seek deliverance. In phantasmagoria, vortex utopia. |

3. | Dreamside Dominions | 05:13 | Show lyrics |
When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Like evil omens, in shadowed murmur, they welcome me again. Agonized and flattered to once become, a part of this horror scenario. I descend with arms open wide. When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Armoured and filled, with painful pleasure. Reflecting streams, of monstrous mirages. I will not hide! Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Agonized and flattered I once became, a part of the horror scenario. Armoured and filled with painful pleasure. I did not hide! Now when the gates are no longer shut, I withdraw from the light of the sun. |

4. | United in Unhallowed Grace | 04:22 | Show lyrics |
Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. We embrace the madness, gathered as one. Mourning dead passion, she comes to me. A fate awaits us in the night, in the ruins of creation we will unite. Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. She comes to me, a shining beacon, confused by the sensual innovation. Passion, towards image of mortal evil. Passion embraced by the image, of united death. The enigma lies broken! Searching for those precious moments. Reaching for a higher state of existence, like a newborn migrant in the void. I am smitten by forbidden fruit, possessed by moments of dark splendour. To walk the nightmare terrains forever, the enigma lies broken. Possessed by moments of dark splendour, to walk the nightmare terrains forever. United with new unhallowed grace, this cursed beauty hunts me forever. |

5. | The Promised Future Aeons | 06:51 | Show lyrics |
Erotic and dreamlike still in its mortal disguise, a passionate ritual in the ruined garden theatre. The painted angels shadowed high above, once they gathered to worship at the picture of me. Like a whisper where there are no words appears the perplexed, the statue of might. In the cradle of the next generation a spiralling ruin lost in the gathering dust. The faces you saw in the withering garden, I witnessed the flickering made to look like stone. Quivering like little figures lost in broken flames, never to forget again the names carved in horrid flesh. Those words drawn in water become our legacy of fantasies. Burn the pictures so unexpected in this strange deserted place, once opened its secrets would become the world. Its attributes would continue to unfold forever. Through the fabric of the promised future aeons I offer this suffering of my unwanted father. The stars did wander separated in the forbidden universe. |

6. | The Blazing Monoliths of Defiance | 04:37 | Show lyrics |
With hearts of midnight, brightened by his infernal light. We stand as a monolith of wrath, united under the goat of a thousand young. Two horns thrust upwards in defiance, three inverted as the trinity denied. A phalanx of mourners in black, falling towards nightly terror. Unleash the tempted beast, raised your horns in prideful blasphemy. I’ll be your guide into the glorious darkness, and enchant you like a taste of sin. Unleash the tempted beast, chant there on in words of blazing scorn. Grant me my dark desires, strengthened through the power of Satan. Take pleasure in the torment of the wretched, and rejoice in the delight of the flesh. Behold the face of Satan, and walk the fields of erotic fire. Hunt the Heavens... Godless temples beckon, through gleaming scapes of horrid nightmare. Gathered between symbols and signs, a glow of new light is born out of the night. Give into your lust and carnal desires, in twisted blood-dripping ecstasy. In the name of Satan, I lead you into temptation. |

7. | The Insight and the Catharsis | 07:17 | Show lyrics |
Passenger on confessional course, unlock with the key you behold within. Repair the shadow of your mind and come awake. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand. To be faithful and the instrument so that the ones with blindfold can see what I have seen That there is nothing in between for I am the accomplice. Aghast and tender indulged in sin, embraced by loneliness legions who grin. I blunder into the realms of slumber, I collide with the obscure and see the last fraction of light go by. Plundering the sanity from the insane, and providing appearances in black. Carefully swept in decadent spheres, faces in this world always remain darkened. In circles of dominance emotional deeps unite, fiction and transcendence woven together. In the essence of purity lies wisdom. Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions. What more do you need of proof, human hands conforming cloven hoofs, for I know the secrets and lies behind all truths. Knowledge is power and the power is mine. It’s all mine! So let the children come to me and share the limitless ways to infinity. Escape death and disease and behold youth and vitality. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me how to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand for I am the accomplice. |

8. | Grotesquery Conceiled (Within Measureless Magic) | 05:10 | Show lyrics |
In the shadows of my gallow, I’d rather absent the hallow. Thy presence made pleasure of pain, thy madness turned sanity into vain. Profoundly wicked owner of soul, the mysteries of thy creation beheld by ghouls. Diabolically disguised heavenly bodies, atrociously desired primordial elements. Plunging through the confused heart of sulphur. In all this darkness, how can man see? Pour misguided fool, it is not God you are talking to. I am not impostrous, hiding behind pearly walls. However, I am still yet to be found, known. I shall guide you on your midnight ride, as the sun fades black. Beyond your grotesque imagination, my name will be revealed. The blood of Christ can’t heal your wounds, give me all of yours and I’ll give you mine. I am the hidden fantasy. In the secrets of my knowledge, there is no God but me.

What more do you need of proof, human hands conforming cloven hoofs, for I know the secrets and lies behind all truths. Knowledge is power and the power is mine. It’s all mine! So let the children come to me and share the limitless ways to infinity. Escape death and disease and behold youth and vitality. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me how to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand for I am the accomplice. |

8. | Grotesquery Conceiled (Within Measureless Magic) | 05:10 | Show lyrics |
In the shadows of my gallow, I’d rather absent the hallow. Thy presence made pleasure of pain, thy madness turned sanity into vain. Profoundly wicked owner of soul, the mysteries of thy creation beheld by ghouls. Diabolically disguised heavenly bodies, atrociously desired primordial elements. Plunging through the confused heart of sulphur. In all this darkness, how can man see? Pour misguided fool, it is not God you are talking to. I am not impostrous, hiding behind pearly walls. However, I am still yet to be found, known. I shall guide you on your midnight ride, as the sun fades black. Beyond your grotesque imagination, my name will be revealed. The blood of Christ can’t heal your wounds, give me all of yours and I’ll give you mine. I am the hidden fantasy. In the secrets of my knowledge, there is no God but me. In this shadowy world all are nameless. Outstanding, dressed in majestic splendour, touched by the flames of eternal fire. How I long for your embrace, uttermost desire. |

9. | Arcane Lifeforce Mysteria | 07:03 | Show lyrics |
In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. Ride the beast through paradise, still vipers these mortal burdens. We arise as the portals take form, I leave my feathers again. Infidels and scarecrows, all fallen from Heaven. Captured by the sin of the beast. Mesmerized in total chaos. Engulfed in an overflow, of selfish might. Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. Raped by the sanctity of the unholy, reveals a Hell I never dreamed of. Bewildered by, the arcane life force mysteria. I shed my skin once again! Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. |

1. | Reptile | 05:17 | Show lyrics |
Glowing eyes, staring eyes! Manifest of evil presence, With entities swept in disease and decay. A fall from paradise, beyond redemption. Wrathchilds afterglow! He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who wraps the serpent around my neck. He who pours poisonous wine in my chalice. He who lets me serve and slip away. So I will take shelter, in the absence of the light. Hiding like a masked miniature in the dark, a revenant without relief it seems. For the art of becoming a progeny, and to be raised in such curse, is to forever creep among naive mortals. Infesting the dead in herds. Infesting the dead in herds! His grandeur of guidance, in round trips obscure. He who immerse my hands in sullen thrills. His paths on which domination linger, he who dares to prove the sanity of mine. He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who lets me serve and slip away. Black unearthly void, creatures crawling. Forbidden forgotten, fairly underrated. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. |

2. | Behind the Curtains of Night-Phantasmagoria | 03:20 | Show lyrics |
A mental inner vortex, as possessions through a wolf’s eye. Envisioning the eclipse, no longer to be blinded by a sunrise. In this final benediction, confronted by mirage of imminent mortality. Time’s set to end the suffering, so follow. I will cherish the secrecies of hearts! Chased by the black shepherds, behind curtains of night. Been found as a tool in their seduction, fatal haze. An escape into abomination. Perished to phasma, a syndrome of another aeon. Soul-obsequial inhesion! Resurged in torrents, of abysmal thoughts. Lost in a helix, blackest might! In stealth I do seek deliverance. In phantasmagoria, vortex utopia. |

3. | Dreamside Dominions | 05:13 | Show lyrics |
When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Like evil omens, in shadowed murmur, they welcome me again. Agonized and flattered to once become, a part of this horror scenario. I descend with arms open wide. When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Armoured and filled, with painful pleasure. Reflecting streams, of monstrous mirages. I will not hide! Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Agonized and flattered I once became, a part of the horror scenario. Armoured and filled with painful pleasure. I did not hide! Now when the gates are no longer shut, I withdraw from the light of the sun. |

4. | United in Unhallowed Grace | 04:22 | Show lyrics |
Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. We embrace the madness, gathered as one. Mourning dead passion, she comes to me. A fate awaits us in the night, in the ruins of creation we will unite. Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. She comes to me, a shining beacon, confused by the sensual innovation. Passion, towards image of mortal evil. Passion embraced by the image, of united death. The enigma lies broken! Searching for those precious moments. Reaching for a higher state of existence, like a newborn migrant in the void. I am smitten by forbidden fruit, possessed by moments of dark splendour. To walk the nightmare terrains forever, the enigma lies broken. Possessed by moments of dark splendour, to walk the nightmare terrains forever. United with new unhallowed grace, this cursed beauty hunts me forever. |

5. | The Promised Future Aeons | 06:51 | Show lyrics |
Erotic and dreamlike still in its mortal disguise, a passionate ritual in the ruined garden theatre. The painted angels shadowed high above, once they gathered to worship at the picture of me. Like a whisper where there are no words appears the perplexed, the statue of might. In the cradle of the next generation a spiralling ruin lost in the gathering dust. The faces you saw in the withering garden, I witnessed the flickering made to look like stone. Quivering like little figures lost in broken flames, never to forget again the names carved in horrid flesh. Those words drawn in water become our legacy of fantasies. Burn the pictures so unexpected in this strange deserted place, once opened its secrets would become the world. Its attributes would continue to unfold forever. Through the fabric of the promised future aeons I offer this suffering of my unwanted father. The stars did wander separated in the forbidden universe. |

6. | The Blazing Monoliths of Defiance | 04:37 | Show lyrics |
With hearts of midnight, brightened by his infernal light. We stand as a monolith of wrath, united under the goat of a thousand young. Two horns thrust upwards in defiance, three inverted as the trinity denied. A phalanx of mourners in black, falling towards nightly terror. Unleash the tempted beast, raised your horns in prideful blasphemy. I’ll be your guide into the glorious darkness, and enchant you like a taste of sin. Unleash the tempted beast, chant there on in words of blazing scorn. Grant me my dark desires, strengthened through the power of Satan. Take pleasure in the torment of the wretched, and rejoice in the delight of the flesh. Behold the face of Satan, and walk the fields of erotic fire. Hunt the Heavens... Godless temples beckon, through gleaming scapes of horrid nightmare. Gathered between symbols and signs, a glow of new light is born out of the night. Give into your lust and carnal desires, in twisted blood-dripping ecstasy. In the name of Satan, I lead you into temptation. |

Passenger on confessional course, unlock with the key you behold within. Repair the shadow of your mind and come awake. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand. To be faithful and the instrument so that the ones with blindfold can see what I have seen That there is nothing in between for I am the accomplice. Aghast and tender indulged in sin, embraced by loneliness legions who grin. I blunder into the realms of slumber, I collide with the obscure and see the last fraction of light go by.

So let the children come to me and share the limitless ways to infinity. Escape death and disease and behold youth and vitality. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me how to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand for I am the accomplice. |

8. | Grotesquery Conceiled (Within Measureless Magic) | 05:10 | Show lyrics |
In the shadows of my gallow, I’d rather absent the hallow. Thy presence made pleasure of pain, thy madness turned sanity into vain. Profoundly wicked owner of soul, the mysteries of thy creation beheld by ghouls. Diabolically disguised heavenly bodies, atrociously desired primordial elements. Plunging through the confused heart of sulphur. In all this darkness, how can man see? Pour misguided fool, it is not God you are talking to. I am not impostrous, hiding behind pearly walls. However, I am still yet to be found, known. I shall guide you on your midnight ride, as the sun fades black. Beyond your grotesque imagination, my name will be revealed. The blood of Christ can’t heal your wounds, give me all of yours and I’ll give you mine. I am the hidden fantasy. In the secrets of my knowledge, there is no God but me. In this shadowy world all are nameless. Outstanding, dressed in majestic splendour, touched by the flames of eternal fire. How I long for your embrace, uttermost desire. |

9. | Arcane Lifeforce Mysteria | 07:03 | Show lyrics |
In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. Ride the beast through paradise, still vipers these mortal burdens. We arise as the portals take form, I leave my feathers again. Infidels and scarecrows, all fallen from Heaven. Captured by the sin of the beast. Mesmerized in total chaos. Engulfed in an overflow, of selfish might. Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. Raped by the sanctity of the unholy, reveals a Hell I never dreamed of. Bewildered by, the arcane life force mysteria. I shed my skin once again! Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. |

1. | Reptile | 05:17 | Show lyrics |
Glowing eyes, staring eyes! Manifest of evil presence, With entities swept in disease and decay. A fall from paradise, beyond redemption. Wrathchilds afterglow! He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who wraps the serpent around my neck. He who pours poisonous wine in my chalice. He who lets me serve and slip away. So I will take shelter, in the absence of the light. Hiding like a masked miniature in the dark, a revenant without relief it seems. For the art of becoming a progeny, and to be raised in such curse, is to forever creep among naive mortals. Infesting the dead in herds. Infesting the dead in herds! His grandeur of guidance, in round trips obscure. He who immerse my hands in sullen thrills. His paths on which domination linger, he who dares to prove the sanity of mine. He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who lets me serve and slip away. Black unearthly void, creatures crawling. Forbidden forgotten, fairly underrated. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. |

2. | Behind the Curtains of Night-Phantasmagoria | 03:20 | Show lyrics |
A mental inner vortex, as possessions through a wolf’s eye. Envisioning the eclipse, no longer to be blinded by a sunrise. In this final benediction, confronted by mirage of imminent mortality. Time’s set to end the suffering, so follow. I will cherish the secrecies of hearts! Chased by the black shepherds, behind curtains of night. Been found as a tool in their seduction, fatal haze. An escape into abomination. Perished to phasma, a syndrome of another aeon. Soul-obsequial inhesion! Resurged in torrents, of abysmal thoughts. Lost in a helix, blackest might! In stealth I do seek deliverance. In phantasmagoria, vortex utopia. |

3. | Dreamside Dominions | 05:13 | Show lyrics |
When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Like evil omens, in shadowed murmur, they welcome me again. Agonized and flattered to once become, a part of this horror scenario. I descend with arms open wide. When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Armoured and filled, with painful pleasure. Reflecting streams, of monstrous mirages. I will not hide! Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Agonized and flattered I once became, a part of the horror scenario. Armoured and filled with painful pleasure. I did not hide! Now when the gates are no longer shut, I withdraw from the light of the sun. |

4. | United in Unhallowed Grace | 04:22 | Show lyrics |
Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. We embrace the madness, gathered as one. Mourning dead passion, she comes to me. A fate awaits us in the night, in the ruins of creation we will unite. Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. She comes to me, a shining beacon, confused by the sensual innovation. Passion, towards image of mortal evil. Passion embraced by the image, of united death. The enigma lies broken! Searching for those precious moments. Reaching for a higher state of existence, like a newborn migrant in the void. I am smitten by forbidden fruit, possessed by moments of dark splendour. To walk the nightmare terrains forever, the enigma lies broken. Possessed by moments of dark splendour, to walk the nightmare terrains forever. United with new unhallowed grace, this cursed beauty hunts me forever. |

5. | The Promised Future Aeons | 06:51 | Show lyrics |
Erotic and dreamlike still in its mortal disguise, a passionate ritual in the ruined garden theatre. The painted angels shadowed high above, once they gathered to worship at the picture of me. Like a whisper where there are no words appears the perplexed, the statue of might. In the cradle of the next generation a spiralling ruin lost in the gathering dust. The faces you saw in the withering garden, I witnessed the flickering made to look like stone. Quivering like little figures lost in broken flames, never to forget again the names carved in horrid flesh. Those words drawn in water become our legacy of fantasies. Burn the pictures so unexpected in this strange deserted place, once opened its secrets would become the world. Its attributes would continue to unfold forever. Through the fabric of the promised future aeons I offer this suffering of my unwanted father. The stars did wander separated in the forbidden universe. |

1. | The Blazing Monoliths of Defiance | 04:37 | Show lyrics |
With hearts of midnight, brightened by his infernal light. We stand as a monolith of wrath, united under the goat of a thousand young. Two horns thrust upwards in defiance, three inverted as the trinity denied. A phalanx of mourners in black, falling towards nightly terror. Unleash the tempted beast, raised your horns in prideful blasphemy. I’ll be your guide into the glorious darkness, and enchant you like a taste of sin. Unleash the tempted beast, chant there on in words of blazing scorn. Grant me my dark desires, strengthened through the power of Satan. Take pleasure in the torment of the wretched, and rejoice in the delight of the flesh. Behold the face of Satan, and walk the fields of erotic fire. Hunt the Heavens... Godless temples beckon, through gleaming scapes of horrid nightmare. Gathered between symbols and signs, a glow of new light is born out of the night. Give into your lust and carnal desires, in twisted blood-dripping ecstasy. In the name of Satan, I lead you into temptation. |

2. | The Insight and the Catharsis | 07:17 | Show lyrics |
Passenger on confessional course, unlock with the key you behold within. Repair the shadow of your mind and come awake. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand. To be faithful and the instrument so that the ones with blindfold can see what I have seen That there is nothing in between for I am the accomplice. Aghast and tender indulged in sin, embraced by loneliness legions who grin. I blunder into the realms of slumber, I collide with the obscure and see the last fraction of light go by. Plundering the sanity from the insane, and providing appearances in black. Carefully swept in decadent spheres, faces in this world always remain darkened. In circles of dominance emotional deeps unite, fiction and transcendence woven together. In the essence of purity lies wisdom. Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions. What more do you need of proof, human hands conforming cloven hoofs, for I know the secrets and lies behind all truths. Knowledge is power and the power is mine. It’s all mine!

Plunging through the confused heart of sulphur. In all this darkness, how can man see? Pour misguided fool, it is not God you are talking to. I am not impostrous, hiding behind pearly walls. However, I am still yet to be found, known. I shall guide you on your midnight ride, as the sun fades black. Beyond your grotesque imagination, my name will be revealed. The blood of Christ can’t heal your wounds, give me all of yours and I’ll give you mine. I am the hidden fantasy. In the secrets of my knowledge, there is no God but me. In this shadowy world all are nameless. Outstanding, dressed in majestic splendour, touched by the flames of eternal fire. How I long for your embrace, uttermost desire. |

9. | Arcane Lifeforce Mysteria | 07:03 | Show lyrics |
In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. Ride the beast through paradise, still vipers these mortal burdens. We arise as the portals take form, I leave my feathers again. Infidels and scarecrows, all fallen from Heaven. Captured by the sin of the beast. Mesmerized in total chaos. Engulfed in an overflow, of selfish might. Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. Raped by the sanctity of the unholy, reveals a Hell I never dreamed of. Bewildered by, the arcane life force mysteria. I shed my skin once again! Swept through arcane mysteries, forlorn in a maze of torment. In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity. With honour I bear the mark of Satan. Triumphants beasts in heavenly defeat. Disguised in gloom, I wear the mask of Satan. |

1. | Reptile | 05:17 | Show lyrics |
Glowing eyes, staring eyes! Manifest of evil presence, With entities swept in disease and decay. A fall from paradise, beyond redemption. Wrathchilds afterglow! He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who wraps the serpent around my neck. He who pours poisonous wine in my chalice. He who lets me serve and slip away. So I will take shelter, in the absence of the light. Hiding like a masked miniature in the dark, a revenant without relief it seems. For the art of becoming a progeny, and to be raised in such curse, is to forever creep among naive mortals. Infesting the dead in herds. Infesting the dead in herds! His grandeur of guidance, in round trips obscure. He who immerse my hands in sullen thrills. His paths on which domination linger, he who dares to prove the sanity of mine. He who speaks of nightly treasures. He who lets me serve and slip away. Black unearthly void, creatures crawling. Forbidden forgotten, fairly underrated. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. Bastards in the shape of angels, holding my hands. Passing me what is left of the wine. |

2. | Behind the Curtains of Night-Phantasmagoria | 03:20 | Show lyrics |
A mental inner vortex, as possessions through a wolf’s eye. Envisioning the eclipse, no longer to be blinded by a sunrise. In this final benediction, confronted by mirage of imminent mortality. Time’s set to end the suffering, so follow. I will cherish the secrecies of hearts! Chased by the black shepherds, behind curtains of night. Been found as a tool in their seduction, fatal haze. An escape into abomination. Perished to phasma, a syndrome of another aeon. Soul-obsequial inhesion! Resurged in torrents, of abysmal thoughts. Lost in a helix, blackest might! In stealth I do seek deliverance. In phantasmagoria, vortex utopia. |

3. | Dreamside Dominions | 05:13 | Show lyrics |
When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Like evil omens, in shadowed murmur, they welcome me again. Agonized and flattered to once become, a part of this horror scenario. I descend with arms open wide. When the ghastly mourners, awakens from sleep, and the volant funeral crows are watching. Armoured and filled, with painful pleasure. Reflecting streams, of monstrous mirages. I will not hide! Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Losing control in seductive madness. Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis. Dead colours appear within unshallow graves. Alone in awe I face abhorrence below! Trapped inside to suffer in silence, torn apart in mind and sense. Baptised in this nightly glamour, rites of splendid essence. Agonized and flattered I once became, a part of the horror scenario. Armoured and filled with painful pleasure. I did not hide! Now when the gates are no longer shut, I withdraw from the light of the sun. |

4. | United in Unhallowed Grace | 04:22 | Show lyrics |
Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. We embrace the madness, gathered as one. Mourning dead passion, she comes to me. A fate awaits us in the night, in the ruins of creation we will unite. Unfolding her carnal desires to me, with tempting eyes she does receive. A hunter of the Night Devil’s whore, may her cursed beauty hunt me forever. She comes to me, a shining beacon, confused by the sensual innovation. Passion, towards image of mortal evil. Passion embraced by the image, of united death. The enigma lies broken! Searching for those precious moments. Reaching for a higher state of existence, like a newborn migrant in the void. I am smitten by forbidden fruit, possessed by moments of dark splendour. To walk the nightmare terrains forever, the enigma lies broken. Possessed by moments of dark splendour, to walk the nightmare terrains forever. United with new unhallowed grace, this cursed beauty hunts me forever. |

5. | The Promised Future Aeons | 06:51 | Show lyrics |
Erotic and dreamlike still in its mortal disguise, a passionate ritual in the ruined garden theatre. The painted angels shadowed high above, once they gathered to worship at the picture of me. Like a whisper where there are no words appears the perplexed, the statue of might. In the cradle of the next generation a spiralling ruin lost in the gathering dust. The faces you saw in the withering garden, I witnessed the flickering made to look like stone. Quivering like little figures lost in broken flames, never to forget again the names carved in horrid flesh. Those words drawn in water become our legacy of fantasies. Burn the pictures so unexpected in this strange deserted place, once opened its secrets would become the world. Its attributes would continue to unfold forever. Through the fabric of the promised future aeons I offer this suffering of my unwanted father. The stars did wander separated in the forbidden universe. |

6. | The Blazing Monoliths of Defiance | 04:37 | Show lyrics |
With hearts of midnight, brightened by his infernal light. We stand as a monolith of wrath, united under the goat of a thousand young. Two horns thrust upwards in defiance, three inverted as the trinity denied. A phalanx of mourners in black, falling towards nightly terror. Unleash the tempted beast, raised your horns in prideful blasphemy. I’ll be your guide into the glorious darkness, and enchant you like a taste of sin. Unleash the tempted beast, chant there on in words of blazing scorn. Grant me my dark desires, strengthened through the power of Satan. Take pleasure in the torment of the wretched, and rejoice in the delight of the flesh. Behold the face of Satan, and walk the fields of erotic fire. Hunt the Heavens... Godless temples beckon, through gleaming scapes of horrid nightmare. Gathered between symbols and signs, a glow of new light is born out of the night. Give into your lust and carnal desires, in twisted blood-dripping ecstasy. In the name of Satan, I lead you into temptation. |

7. | The Insight and the Catharsis | 07:17 | Show lyrics |
Passenger on confessional course, unlock with the key you behold within. Repair the shadow of your mind and come awake. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand. To be faithful and the instrument so that the ones with blindfold can see what I have seen That there is nothing in between for I am the accomplice. Aghast and tender indulged in sin, embraced by loneliness legions who grin. I blunder into the realms of slumber, I collide with the obscure and see the last fraction of light go by. Plundering the sanity from the insane, and providing appearances in black. Carefully swept in decadent spheres, faces in this world always remain darkened. In circles of dominance emotional deeps unite, fiction and transcendence woven together. In the essence of purity lies wisdom. Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions. What more do you need of proof, human hands conforming cloven hoofs, for I know the secrets and lies behind all truths. Knowledge is power and the power is mine. It’s all mine! So let the children come to me and share the limitless ways to infinity. Escape death and disease and behold youth and vitality. Oh, dreadful angel of mine, enrich me with the vastness of being. Rigid Father teach me how to comprehend, I’ll commit myself to understand for I am the accomplice. |

Norse soldiers armed with virtue, hearts of steel, minds filled with dignity, Once they sailed across the open sea, their eyes glowed with death-joy, and glory. Brave men of endless strength, as they sailed across the open sea. Weak men in brown robes cried for mercy, screamed for help to god almighty. The ultimate warrior force, crushed them neath their iron hand. Mightiest conquerers ever, to be seen, they were sent from an old foreign land, waded in blood battle until the end, a gift of strength, given from Wotan high. Turned their gods and their ships to the north, the waves upon the water were like ripples in their minds. Entered than the ancient land of darkness, as they soon would turn their ships again. Norse soldiers armed with virtue, hearts of steel, minds filled with dignity, Once they sailed across the open sea, their eyes glowed with death-joy, and glory. |

6. | Old Man’s Child - Seeds of the Ancient Gods | 06:40 | Show lyrics |
Whipping tears from the sky, as the forsaked throne embrace it`s soul. With blood on their hands, and high-raised swords, the ancient gods command. Fading the forest the shadows of the past, with the ravens command they march onward. Swear by the moon and the stars in the sky, as they bend down and greet to their gods. A cold mist now hovers their ground, as they gather for war, mighty and proud. Shadows appear from behind the torchlight, slowly arise from the deepest fog. The pestering storms, the raging battles forward from the north. An ancient myth of a time to come, a black hole, an empty grave. A birth of a forthcoming master, the darkening sky. The fallen life as the stars die, in the gloom they rise. The crowned one`s, of ancient times. Fading the forest the shadows of the past, with the ravens command they march onward. |

Tårer faller som tungt høstregn, i et kaldt desemberlandskap. Tårer for min stolthet og min verdighet. På min ferd inn i ensomheten, inn i skogens mørke. Til mine sorgers opphav jeg går, i skam. Jeg fylles av satans makter, og en dyster harmfull fred. Et kall fra hans land, jeg skal synke i dødens vann, og fare med strømmene mot dødens land. Hun slikker mine kinn, mens døden lokker kan jeg skimte hans rike. Triste øyne og spake stemmer, følg min dragning mot gravens kalde mørke. Tårer faller som tungt høstregn, i et kaldt desemberlandskap. Tårer for min stolthet og min verdighet. Så i mørket skal vi atter reises for krig mot lyset, vi skal herje, jagende vårt bytte. Som en storm skal vi rive i filler hans rike, under mørkets klinge skal vi dø. I en tapper krig, jeg skal dø. Aldri stride mere, kom drikk mine tårer. Og mot din grotte vandre. I din grotte vi skal rå. På min ferd inn i ensomheten, inn imot skogens mørke. Til mine sorgers opphav jeg går, med hat. Hun fuktet mine lepper, mens døden lokker har jeg nådd ditt rike. Triste øyne og spake stemmer, følg min dragning mot gravens kalde mørke. |

Gods of ancient twilight, glance the golden past, let me enter your hidden gate, let me know I am the last. Rise nocturnal spirits, eternal gods of the north, blow your wind upon my flesh, reach me your immortal force. I dance through the winter storms, all through a lifetime as man, marching to the deepest fog, to bend down beneath your ancient hand. So engraved by battles for years, but more mighty than ever, with blood on my weapons I hunger, for more (I shall never give up the war). I`ll make this night my darkest intentions, walking towards your kingdom, winter of the norse evil, I summon you to embrace and crown me. Rise nocturnal spirits, eternal gods of the north, blow your wind upon my flesh, reach me your immortal force. |

Norse soldiers armed with virtue, hearts of steel, minds filled with dignity, Once they sailed across the open sea, their eyes glowed with death-joy, and glory. Brave men of endless strength, as they sailed across the open sea. Weak men in brown robes cried for mercy, screamed for help to god almighty. The ultimate warrior force, crushed them neath their iron hand. Mightiest conquerers ever, to be seen, they were sent from an old foreign land, waded in blood battle until the end, a gift of strength, given from Wotan high. Turned their gods and their ships to the north, the waves upon the water were like ripples in their minds. Entered than the ancient land of darkness, as they soon would turn their ships again. Norse soldiers armed with virtue, hearts of steel, minds filled with dignity, Once they sailed across the open sea, their eyes glowed with death-joy, and glory. |

Whipping tears from the sky, as the forsaked throne embrace it`s soul. With blood on their hands, and high-raised swords, the ancient gods command. Fading the forest the shadows of the past, with the ravens command they march onward. Swear by the moon and the stars in the sky, as they bend down and greet to their gods. A cold mist now hovers their ground, as they gather for war, mighty and proud. Shadows appear from behind the torchlight, slowly arise from the deepest fog. The pestering storms, the raging battles forward from the north. An ancient myth of a time to come, a black hole, an empty grave. A birth of a forthcoming master, the darkening sky. The fallen life as the stars die, in the gloom they rise. The crowned one`s, of ancient times. Fading the forest the shadows of the past, with the ravens command they march onward. |

Tårer faller som tungt høstregn, i et kaldt desemberlandskap. Tårer for min stolthet og min verdighet. På min ferd inn i ensomheten, inn i skogens mørke. Til mine sorgers opphav jeg går, i skam. Jeg fylles av satans makter, og en dyster harmfull fred. Et kall fra hans land, jeg skal synke i dødens vann, og fare med strømmene mot dødens land. Hun slikker mine kinn, mens døden lokker kan jeg skimte hans rike. Triste øyne og spake stemmer, følg min dragning mot gravens kalde mørke. Tårer faller som tungt høstregn, i et kaldt desemberlandskap. Tårer for min stolthet og min verdighet. Så i mørket skal vi atter reises for krig mot lyset, vi skal herje, jagende vårt bytte. Som en storm skal vi rive i filler hans rike, under mørkets klinge skal vi dø. I en tapper krig, jeg skal dø. Aldri stride mere, kom drikk mine tårer. Og mot din grotte vandre. I din grotte vi skal rå. På min ferd inn i ensomheten, inn imot skogens mørke. Til mine sorgers opphav jeg går, med hat. Hun fuktet mine lepper, mens døden lokker har jeg nådd ditt rike.

Gods of ancient twilight, glance the golden past, let me enter your hidden gate, let me know I am the last. Rise nocturnal spirits, eternal gods of the north, blow your wind upon my flesh, reach me your immortal force. I dance through the winter storms, all through a lifetime as man, marching to the deepest fog, to bend down beneath your ancient hand. So engraved by battles for years, but more mighty than ever, with blood on my weapons I hunger, for more (I shall never give up the war). I`ll make this night my darkest intentions, walking towards your kingdom, winter of the norse evil, I summon you to embrace and crown me. Rise nocturnal spirits, eternal gods of the north, blow your wind upon my flesh, reach me your immortal force. |

Gods of ancient twilight, glance the golden past, let me enter your hidden gate, let me know I am the last. Rise nocturnal spirits, eternal gods of the north, blow your wind upon my flesh, reach me your immortal force. I dance through the winter storms, all through a lifetime as man, marching to the deepest fog, to bend down beneath your ancient hand. So engraved by battles for years, but more mighty than ever, with blood on my weapons I hunger, for more (I shall never give up the war). I`ll make this night my darkest intentions, walking towards your kingdom, winter of the norse evil, I summon you to embrace and crown me. Rise nocturnal spirits, eternal gods of the north, blow your wind upon my flesh, reach me your immortal force. |

6. | Old Man’s Child - St. Aidens Fall | 05:49 | Show lyrics |
Norse soldiers armed with virtue, hearts of steel, minds filled with dignity, Once they sailed across the open sea, their eyes glowed with death-joy, and glory. Brave men of endless strength, as they sailed across the open sea. Weak men in brown robes cried for mercy, screamed for help to god almighty. The ultimate warrior force, crushed them neath their iron hand. Mightiest conquerers ever, to be seen, they were sent from an old foreign land, waded in blood battle until the end, a gift of strength, given from Wotan high. Turned their gods and their ships to the north, the waves upon the water were like ripples in their minds. Entered than the ancient land of darkness, as they soon would turn their ships again. Norse soldiers armed with virtue, hearts of steel, minds filled with dignity, Once they sailed across the open sea, their eyes glowed with death-joy, and glory. |

7. | Old Man’s Child - Seeds of the Ancient Gods | 06:40 | Show lyrics |
Whipping tears from the sky, as the forsaked throne embrace it`s soul. With blood on their hands, and high-raised swords, the ancient gods command. Fading the forest the shadows of the past, with the ravens command they march onward. Swear by the moon and the stars in the sky, as they bend down and greet to their gods. A cold mist now hovers their ground, as they gather for war, mighty and proud. Shadows appear from behind the torchlight, slowly arise from the deepest fog. The pestering storms, the raging battles forward from the north. An ancient myth of a time to come, a black hole, an empty grave. A birth of a forthcoming master, the darkening sky. The fallen life as the stars die, in the gloom they rise. The crowned one`s, of ancient times. Fading the forest the shadows of the past, with the ravens command they march onward. |

Tårer faller som tungt høstregn, i et kaldt desemberlandskap. Tårer for min stolthet og min verdighet. På min ferd inn i ensomheten, inn i skogens mørke. Til mine sorgers opphav jeg går, i skam. Jeg fylles av satans makter, og en dyster harmfull fred. Et kall fra hans land, jeg skal synke i dødens vann, og fare med strømmene mot dødens land. Hun slikker mine kinn, mens døden lokker kan jeg skimte hans rike. Triste øyne og spake stemmer, følg min dragning mot gravens kalde mørke. Tårer faller som tungt høstregn, i et kaldt desemberlandskap. Tårer for min stolthet og min verdighet. Så i mørket skal vi atter reises for krig mot lyset, vi skal herje, jagende vårt bytte. Som en storm skal vi rive i filler hans rike, under mørkets klinge skal vi dø. I en tapper krig, jeg skal dø. Aldri stride mere, kom drikk mine tårer. Og mot din grotte vandre. I din grotte vi skal rå. På min ferd inn i ensomheten, inn imot skogens mørke. Til mine sorgers opphav jeg går, med hat. Hun fuktet mine lepper, mens døden lokker har jeg nådd ditt rike. Triste øyne og spake stemmer, følg min dragning mot gravens kalde mørke. |

Never shall the sun kiss my face And caress me with its burning light For I dwell in the shadows And sleep side by side with death In dark desire I embrace the whore Giving her an escape from an unworthy life For with the appearance of a fallen angel I serve darkness I am a prince among the damned As I’ve been for an eternity The monark in a dark paradise Cursed by life and the living Oh tremble not my immortal heart Trough you beat in the shadows of death Eternal life is the blessing And I shall rule for another thousand years |

Winds emerge from the east Deep, dark water moves Even the cold it don eclipses When they adore the dog-faced beast (Chorus) As they admit the infernal tide The eye on the throne derides The old gods and their tribes in chaos Tiamat laughs pride... |

Norse soldiers armed with virtue, hearts of steel, minds filled with dignity, Once they sailed across the open sea, their eyes glowed with death-joy, and glory. Brave men of endless strength, as they sailed across the open sea. Weak men in brown robes cried for mercy, screamed for help to god almighty. The ultimate warrior force, crushed them neath their iron hand. Mightiest conquerers ever, to be seen, they were sent from an old foreign land, waded in blood battle until the end, a gift of strength, given from Wotan high. Turned their gods and their ships to the north, the waves upon the water were like ripples in their minds. Entered than the ancient land of darkness, as they soon would turn their ships again. Norse soldiers armed with virtue, hearts of steel, minds filled with dignity, Once they sailed across the open sea, their eyes glowed with death-joy, and glory. |

Whipping tears from the sky, as the forsaked throne embrace it`s soul. With blood on their hands, and high-raised swords, the ancient gods command. Fading the forest the shadows of the past, with the ravens command they march onward. Swear by the moon and the stars in the sky, as they bend down and greet to their gods. A cold mist now hovers their ground, as they gather for war, mighty and proud. Shadows appear from behind the torchlight, slowly arise from the deepest fog. The pestering storms, the raging battles forward from the north. An ancient myth of a time to come, a black hole, an empty grave. A birth of a forthcoming master, the darkening sky. The fallen life as the stars die, in the gloom they rise. The crowned one`s, of ancient times. Fading the forest the shadows of the past, with the ravens command they march onward. |

Tårer faller som tungt høstregn, i et kaldt desemberlandskap. Tårer for min stolthet og min verdighet. På min ferd inn i ensomheten, inn i skogens mørke. Til mine sorgers opphav jeg går, i skam. Jeg fylles av satans makter, og en dyster harmfull fred. Et kall fra hans land, jeg skal synke i dødens vann, og fare med strømmene mot dødens land. Hun slikker mine kinn, mens døden lokker kan jeg skimte hans rike. Triste øyne og spake stemmer, følg min dragning mot gravens kalde mørke. Tårer faller som tungt høstregn, i et kaldt desemberlandskap. Tårer for min stolthet og min verdighet. Så i mørket skal vi atter reises for krig mot lyset, vi skal herje, jagende vårt bytte. Som en storm skal vi rive i filler hans rike, under mørkets klinge skal vi dø. I en tapper krig, jeg skal dø. Aldri stride mere, kom drikk mine tårer. Og mot din grotte vandre. I din grotte vi skal rå. På min ferd inn i ensomheten, inn imot skogens mørke. Til mine sorgers opphav jeg går, med hat. Hun fuktet mine lepper, mens døden lokker har jeg nådd ditt rike.

Gods of ancient twilight, glance the golden past, let me enter your hidden gate, let me know I am the last. Rise nocturnal spirits, eternal gods of the north, blow your wind upon my flesh, reach me your immortal force. I dance through the winter storms, all through a lifetime as man, marching to the deepest fog, to bend down beneath your ancient hand. So engraved by battles for years, but more mighty than ever, with blood on my weapons I hunger, for more (I shall never give up the war). I`ll make this night my darkest intentions, walking towards your kingdom, winter of the norse evil, I summon you to embrace and crown me. Rise nocturnal spirits, eternal gods of the north, blow your wind upon my flesh, reach me your immortal force. |

2. | Blessings upon the Throne of Tyranny | 05:19 | Show lyrics |
Infected by invalid behaviour, while capturing the stench, of divine putrefaction. Confess to slavery, for the world saviour. Give praise and inhale the corruption. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress. Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. The decrepit innocence, of your correctness and well chosen. Elicits the source of the need, for immediate forgiveness. Submit to no grace, but the pitiful of your disease. Apply to join the unlimited disgrace, and a settlement in the skies. And turn the confusion among your children, into self-stimulation. The incarnation of your prostitution, the true evil in disguise. With the ignorance from your cross, as the witness. The truth of your tragedy, make you justice. In your mirror the high spirit, of kindness looks like malice. Condemnation of life by the living dead. What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core. How unfortunate I am! Cursed to spend time, on a battle already won. The shame that will be guarding, your grave says it all. Retreat to the crypt, and make it worthwhile. Recall my sins furthermore, but still be watching yours with a smile. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. |

3. | Kings of the Carnival Creation | 07:45 | Show lyrics |
Incarnated marvels simplified effects from such a disconsolate kind. Impotence of the once so perfect living, erase and rewind. Stand rigid for the next battle, peace means reloading your guns. The love for life is all hatred in disguise, a carnival creation with masks undone. In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin, through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind. Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as the virulent truth, confidently dawned to pick the best of enemies. An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception. Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions. Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface and enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect. With such bedevilled faith in good subsequently trusting evil. Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Left are the kings of the carnival creation, carrying out the echoes of the fallen. Sense the withering eternity as it fades away, the ultimate graceless voyage of all times. Only Death will be guarding your angels silently, cripples joining arms in clamour. Institutionalized for the rebirth the herd will be hunted! |

4. | Hybrid Stigmata - The Apostasy | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
The apparition of two faces in disgust, invisible but yet so clear. Reflections seen by a fugitive, trying to escape the looking glass. Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh. The one in front of the mirror, exceeds the image Eager to leave further, but chained still. To crumble into such nothingness, adespairing fate for your lies. To pretend is the lunatic’s legacy, privileged to bolt the nails of heresy. Born lifeless into a world of coma. As the chronic sufferer, trapped in paradise lost. Missing insinuations of what, life was meant to be. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside. How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Holding the banner high, unrestrained. Slowly abandoning the surface in contempt. Still in costumes to please the ways of living. Witnessing the details of defilement, intoxicating! Make sure to be pleased, with the ways of your death. For in days of reckoning, and when the twilight torn is ticking. Elysium is halfway, as an answer to the plea. You’re destined to yield, fragments of Hell in return. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Leave unnoticed with the perfect conscience, with the strength of the spiritual eye. Spirits of the token unchained and free. Recover from the philanthropic, macabre frenzy. The pale dove grins, black at heart and ready to flee. Demon to some, angel to others! |

5. | Architecture of a Genocidal Nature | 06:08 | Show lyrics |
A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Created in a shape to accommodate, a wide variety of demonic forms. The realm of the benighted, aristocracy of evil most pure. This is where wounds of deadly hate, have pierced so deep. Emerged from the depths of the earth gasps. It rages against mankind, to annihilate the earth and worse. It spills the blood like rain, the beauty of death it represents. Devouring their flesh with a razorblade smile. Genes would still blindly, carry on smouldering ember of Hell. Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush, that sweep all traces of time, place and pattern. A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Total death in every nation, monuments of vanquished civilization. Just as brilliantly removed ruthlessly, eliminated. The cornerstone of human emotions, has now been drained away. I saw death of a most uncommon nature. |

6. | Puritania | 03:01 | Show lyrics |
We do away with your kind! Countdown to exterminate, the human race 4, 3, 2, 1... Let chaos entwine, on defenseless soil. Remove errors of man, and sweep all the weakening kind. I am war, I am pain, I am all you’ve ever slain. I am tears in your eyes, I am grief, I am lies. Bygone are tolerance, and presence of grace. Scavengers are set out, to cleanse the human filth parade. I am pure, I am true, I am all over you. I am laugh, I am smile, I am the earth defiled. I am the cosmic storms, I am the tiny worms. I am fear in the night, I am bringer of the light. Earth successfully erased! |

7. | IndoctriNation | 05:57 | Show lyrics |
Look at those lifeless leaves, all their precious pride is taken away. A lost creation for a graven image, trembling of nothing but their own fear. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. To surrender to a faith so fake, to not comprehend while you’re awake. Thrive on your deity for heaven’s sake. Do loose your battle, before actual birth. For some sheep, need the company of a shepherd. To face the scorn of the earth! Existential parasite drama across the lands, what a relief, never bother the why’s. Investing illusions and folding hands, the passion for mankind’s ignorance feeding you lies. All those naked faces and empty shells, procreation of the mind put to rest. Crippled and caged, anaesthesia adjust. The lambs of slaughter pre-occupied in disgust. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. |

8. | The Maelstrom Mephisto | 04:41 | Show lyrics |
Ride the vortex winds, with the beast inside. Cast down all memories, from a past and future world. The cynic icons, and the cryptic writings. As a picturesque creation, in force and spirit. Against their reason, and will, it is time. Give darkness it’s passion plea! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. Pledged to judgmental arrogance in, drawn principles of ignorant falsehood. To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself. A tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep. So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. In the dimness surrounding, the towers of the castle. Where the ravens spread, their wings out wide. Dwell in depths of the darker self, at any shore of infinity. And watch the relentless, paint the soil black. What is being formed, echoes throughout eternity. As the painter chooses color no more. Hold your shadows close, when the comedy is over. As the days of mourning, seem to be the days of joy. Fragments fell from the sky, in order to penetrate the eyes. A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies. Lies! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. |

9. | Absolute Sole Right | 06:24 | Show lyrics |
As cyclones detach from the world above, and all the other worlds beneath them flow. Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories, sought to strive in twilight mist and penal fire. As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! Death has a contract, on life and Hell in between. What was once not certain, is now foreseen. When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. A magisterial maintenance, of diabolic education. Where the opposite of innocence, paves the way for intelligence. Where pearls are chained, for each tragic event. The glorification, of deviance in progress! When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! The glorification, of deviance in progress! As cyclones detach from the world above, and all the other worlds beneath them flow. Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories, sought to strive in twilight mist and penal fire. Liars in wait tries, to quench their thirst for more. Drowning victims of a parallel universe. The scum of the earth, a rejoice of fools. The world hates you, for being precise. |

10. | Sympozium | 05:12 | Show lyrics |
Chains of despair, cloaked by darkness. The thundering echoes, of great destruction to come. Mankind’s mysteries, the dying world. Madness in it’s sweetest form! What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth, and melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. History foretold, the hidden stigmata. Totally annihilating, the ecstasies innumerable. Materialize the vision, give up the ghost. Cease the gloomy awakening! Madness in it’s sweetest form! What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! |

Welcome to the abandoned land Come on in, child; take my hand Here there’s no work or play Only one bill to pay There’s just five words to say As you go down, down, down You’re gonna burn in hell Oh, burn in hell You can’t believe all the things I’ve done wrong in my life Without even trying I’ve lived on the edge of a knife Well, I’ve played with fire, but I don’t want to get myself burned To thine own self be true, so I think that it’s time for a turn Before I burn in hell Oh, burn in hell Take a good look in your heart; tell me what do you see? It’s black and it’s dark, now is that how you want it to be? It’s up to you; what you do will decide your own fate Make your choice now for tomorrow may be far too late And then you’ll burn in hell Hear no evil, don’t you See no evil, don’t you Lay no evil down on me You’re gonna burn in hell Speak no evil, don’t you Think no evil, don’t you Play with evil, ’cause I’m free Hear no evil, don’t you See no evil, don’t you Lay no evil down on me You’re gonna burn in hell Speak no evil, don’t you Think no evil, don’t you Play with evil, ’cause I’m free [repeat and fade] |

The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress. Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. The decrepit innocence, of your correctness and well chosen. Elicits the source of the need, for immediate forgiveness. Submit to no grace, but the pitiful of your disease. Apply to join the unlimited disgrace, and a settlement in the skies. And turn the confusion among your children, into self-stimulation. The incarnation of your prostitution, the true evil in disguise. With the ignorance from your cross, as the witness. The truth of your tragedy, make you justice. In your mirror the high spirit, of kindness looks like malice. Condemnation of life by the living dead. What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core. How unfortunate I am! Cursed to spend time, on a battle already won. The shame that will be guarding, your grave says it all. Retreat to the crypt, and make it worthwhile. Recall my sins furthermore, but still be watching yours with a smile. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. |

Incarnated marvels simplified effects from such a disconsolate kind. Impotence of the once so perfect living, erase and rewind. Stand rigid for the next battle, peace means reloading your guns. The love for life is all hatred in disguise, a carnival creation with masks undone. In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin, through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind. Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as the virulent truth, confidently dawned to pick the best of enemies. An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception. Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions. Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface and enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect. With such bedevilled faith in good subsequently trusting evil. Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Left are the kings of the carnival creation, carrying out the echoes of the fallen. Sense the withering eternity as it fades away, the ultimate graceless voyage of all times. Only Death will be guarding your angels silently, cripples joining arms in clamour. Institutionalized for the rebirth the herd will be hunted! |

The apparition of two faces in disgust, invisible but yet so clear. Reflections seen by a fugitive, trying to escape the looking glass. Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh. The one in front of the mirror, exceeds the image Eager to leave further, but chained still. To crumble into such nothingness, adespairing fate for your lies. To pretend is the lunatic’s legacy, privileged to bolt the nails of heresy. Born lifeless into a world of coma. As the chronic sufferer, trapped in paradise lost. Missing insinuations of what, life was meant to be. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside. How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Holding the banner high, unrestrained. Slowly abandoning the surface in contempt. Still in costumes to please the ways of living. Witnessing the details of defilement, intoxicating! Make sure to be pleased, with the ways of your death. For in days of reckoning, and when the twilight torn is ticking. Elysium is halfway, as an answer to the plea. You’re destined to yield, fragments of Hell in return. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Leave unnoticed with the perfect conscience, with the strength of the spiritual eye. Spirits of the token unchained and free. Recover from the philanthropic, macabre frenzy. The pale dove grins, black at heart and ready to flee. Demon to some, angel to others! |

A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Created in a shape to accommodate, a wide variety of demonic forms. The realm of the benighted, aristocracy of evil most pure. This is where wounds of deadly hate, have pierced so deep. Emerged from the depths of the earth gasps. It rages against mankind, to annihilate the earth and worse. It spills the blood like rain, the beauty of death it represents. Devouring their flesh with a razorblade smile. Genes would still blindly, carry on smouldering ember of Hell. Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush, that sweep all traces of time, place and pattern. A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Total death in every nation, monuments of vanquished civilization. Just as brilliantly removed ruthlessly, eliminated. The cornerstone of human emotions, has now been drained away. I saw death of a most uncommon nature. |

Look at those lifeless leaves, all their precious pride is taken away. A lost creation for a graven image, trembling of nothing but their own fear. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. To surrender to a faith so fake, to not comprehend while you’re awake. Thrive on your deity for heaven’s sake. Do loose your battle, before actual birth. For some sheep, need the company of a shepherd. To face the scorn of the earth! Existential parasite drama across the lands, what a relief, never bother the why’s. Investing illusions and folding hands, the passion for mankind’s ignorance feeding you lies. All those naked faces and empty shells, procreation of the mind put to rest. Crippled and caged, anaesthesia adjust. The lambs of slaughter pre-occupied in disgust. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. |

Ride the vortex winds, with the beast inside. Cast down all memories, from a past and future world. The cynic icons, and the cryptic writings. As a picturesque creation, in force and spirit. Against their reason, and will, it is time. Give darkness it’s passion plea! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. Pledged to judgmental arrogance in, drawn principles of ignorant falsehood. To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself. A tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep. So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. In the dimness surrounding, the towers of the castle. Where the ravens spread, their wings out wide. Dwell in depths of the darker self, at any shore of infinity. And watch the relentless, paint the soil black. What is being formed, echoes throughout eternity. As the painter chooses color no more. Hold your shadows close, when the comedy is over. As the days of mourning, seem to be the days of joy. Fragments fell from the sky, in order to penetrate the eyes. A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies. Lies! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. |

Infected by invalid behaviour, while capturing the stench, of divine putrefaction. Confess to slavery, for the world saviour. Give praise and inhale the corruption. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress. Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. The decrepit innocence, of your correctness and well chosen. Elicits the source of the need, for immediate forgiveness. Submit to no grace, but the pitiful of your disease. Apply to join the unlimited disgrace, and a settlement in the skies. And turn the confusion among your children, into self-stimulation. The incarnation of your prostitution, the true evil in disguise. With the ignorance from your cross, as the witness. The truth of your tragedy, make you justice. In your mirror the high spirit, of kindness looks like malice. Condemnation of life by the living dead. What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core. How unfortunate I am! Cursed to spend time, on a battle already won. The shame that will be guarding, your grave says it all.

2. | Blessings upon the Throne of Tyranny | 05:19 | Show lyrics |
Infected by invalid behaviour, while capturing the stench, of divine putrefaction. Confess to slavery, for the world saviour. Give praise and inhale the corruption. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress. Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. The decrepit innocence, of your correctness and well chosen. Elicits the source of the need, for immediate forgiveness. Submit to no grace, but the pitiful of your disease. Apply to join the unlimited disgrace, and a settlement in the skies. And turn the confusion among your children, into self-stimulation. The incarnation of your prostitution, the true evil in disguise. With the ignorance from your cross, as the witness. The truth of your tragedy, make you justice. In your mirror the high spirit, of kindness looks like malice. Condemnation of life by the living dead. What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core. How unfortunate I am! Cursed to spend time, on a battle already won. The shame that will be guarding, your grave says it all. Retreat to the crypt, and make it worthwhile. Recall my sins furthermore, but still be watching yours with a smile. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. |

3. | Kings of the Carnival Creation | 07:45 | Show lyrics |
Incarnated marvels simplified effects from such a disconsolate kind. Impotence of the once so perfect living, erase and rewind. Stand rigid for the next battle, peace means reloading your guns. The love for life is all hatred in disguise, a carnival creation with masks undone. In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin, through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind. Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as the virulent truth, confidently dawned to pick the best of enemies. An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception. Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions. Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface and enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect. With such bedevilled faith in good subsequently trusting evil. Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Left are the kings of the carnival creation, carrying out the echoes of the fallen. Sense the withering eternity as it fades away, the ultimate graceless voyage of all times. Only Death will be guarding your angels silently, cripples joining arms in clamour. Institutionalized for the rebirth the herd will be hunted! |

4. | Hybrid Stigmata - The Apostasy | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
The apparition of two faces in disgust, invisible but yet so clear. Reflections seen by a fugitive, trying to escape the looking glass. Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh. The one in front of the mirror, exceeds the image Eager to leave further, but chained still. To crumble into such nothingness, adespairing fate for your lies. To pretend is the lunatic’s legacy, privileged to bolt the nails of heresy. Born lifeless into a world of coma. As the chronic sufferer, trapped in paradise lost. Missing insinuations of what, life was meant to be. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside. How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Holding the banner high, unrestrained. Slowly abandoning the surface in contempt. Still in costumes to please the ways of living. Witnessing the details of defilement, intoxicating! Make sure to be pleased, with the ways of your death. For in days of reckoning, and when the twilight torn is ticking. Elysium is halfway, as an answer to the plea. You’re destined to yield, fragments of Hell in return. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Leave unnoticed with the perfect conscience, with the strength of the spiritual eye. Spirits of the token unchained and free. Recover from the philanthropic, macabre frenzy. The pale dove grins, black at heart and ready to flee. Demon to some, angel to others! |

5. | Architecture of a Genocidal Nature | 06:08 | Show lyrics |
A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Created in a shape to accommodate, a wide variety of demonic forms. The realm of the benighted, aristocracy of evil most pure. This is where wounds of deadly hate, have pierced so deep. Emerged from the depths of the earth gasps. It rages against mankind, to annihilate the earth and worse. It spills the blood like rain, the beauty of death it represents. Devouring their flesh with a razorblade smile. Genes would still blindly, carry on smouldering ember of Hell. Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush, that sweep all traces of time, place and pattern. A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Total death in every nation, monuments of vanquished civilization. Just as brilliantly removed ruthlessly, eliminated. The cornerstone of human emotions, has now been drained away. I saw death of a most uncommon nature. |

Scavengers are set out, to cleanse the human filth parade. I am pure, I am true, I am all over you. I am laugh, I am smile, I am the earth defiled. I am the cosmic storms, I am the tiny worms. I am fear in the night, I am bringer of the light. Earth successfully erased! |

Look at those lifeless leaves, all their precious pride is taken away. A lost creation for a graven image, trembling of nothing but their own fear. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. To surrender to a faith so fake, to not comprehend while you’re awake. Thrive on your deity for heaven’s sake. Do loose your battle, before actual birth. For some sheep, need the company of a shepherd. To face the scorn of the earth! Existential parasite drama across the lands, what a relief, never bother the why’s. Investing illusions and folding hands, the passion for mankind’s ignorance feeding you lies. All those naked faces and empty shells, procreation of the mind put to rest. Crippled and caged, anaesthesia adjust. The lambs of slaughter pre-occupied in disgust. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. |

8. | The Maelstrom Mephisto | 04:41 | Show lyrics |
Ride the vortex winds, with the beast inside. Cast down all memories, from a past and future world. The cynic icons, and the cryptic writings. As a picturesque creation, in force and spirit. Against their reason, and will, it is time. Give darkness it’s passion plea! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. Pledged to judgmental arrogance in, drawn principles of ignorant falsehood. To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself. A tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep. So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. In the dimness surrounding, the towers of the castle. Where the ravens spread, their wings out wide. Dwell in depths of the darker self, at any shore of infinity. And watch the relentless, paint the soil black. What is being formed, echoes throughout eternity. As the painter chooses color no more. Hold your shadows close, when the comedy is over. As the days of mourning, seem to be the days of joy. Fragments fell from the sky, in order to penetrate the eyes. A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies. Lies! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. |

Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth, and melancholy grew!

2. | Blessings upon the Throne of Tyranny | 05:19 | Show lyrics |
Infected by invalid behaviour, while capturing the stench, of divine putrefaction. Confess to slavery, for the world saviour. Give praise and inhale the corruption. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress. Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. The decrepit innocence, of your correctness and well chosen. Elicits the source of the need, for immediate forgiveness. Submit to no grace, but the pitiful of your disease. Apply to join the unlimited disgrace, and a settlement in the skies. And turn the confusion among your children, into self-stimulation. The incarnation of your prostitution, the true evil in disguise. With the ignorance from your cross, as the witness. The truth of your tragedy, make you justice. In your mirror the high spirit, of kindness looks like malice. Condemnation of life by the living dead. What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core. How unfortunate I am! Cursed to spend time, on a battle already won. The shame that will be guarding, your grave says it all. Retreat to the crypt, and make it worthwhile. Recall my sins furthermore, but still be watching yours with a smile. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. |

3. | Kings of the Carnival Creation | 07:45 | Show lyrics |
Incarnated marvels simplified effects from such a disconsolate kind. Impotence of the once so perfect living, erase and rewind. Stand rigid for the next battle, peace means reloading your guns. The love for life is all hatred in disguise, a carnival creation with masks undone. In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin, through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind. Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as the virulent truth, confidently dawned to pick the best of enemies. An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception. Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions. Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface and enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect. With such bedevilled faith in good subsequently trusting evil. Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Left are the kings of the carnival creation, carrying out the echoes of the fallen. Sense the withering eternity as it fades away, the ultimate graceless voyage of all times. Only Death will be guarding your angels silently, cripples joining arms in clamour. Institutionalized for the rebirth the herd will be hunted! |

4. | Hybrid Stigmata - The Apostasy | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
The apparition of two faces in disgust, invisible but yet so clear. Reflections seen by a fugitive, trying to escape the looking glass. Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh. The one in front of the mirror, exceeds the image Eager to leave further, but chained still. To crumble into such nothingness, adespairing fate for your lies. To pretend is the lunatic’s legacy, privileged to bolt the nails of heresy. Born lifeless into a world of coma. As the chronic sufferer, trapped in paradise lost. Missing insinuations of what, life was meant to be. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside. How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Holding the banner high, unrestrained. Slowly abandoning the surface in contempt. Still in costumes to please the ways of living. Witnessing the details of defilement, intoxicating! Make sure to be pleased, with the ways of your death. For in days of reckoning, and when the twilight torn is ticking. Elysium is halfway, as an answer to the plea. You’re destined to yield, fragments of Hell in return. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Leave unnoticed with the perfect conscience, with the strength of the spiritual eye. Spirits of the token unchained and free. Recover from the philanthropic, macabre frenzy. The pale dove grins, black at heart and ready to flee. Demon to some, angel to others! |

5. | Architecture of a Genocidal Nature | 06:08 | Show lyrics |
A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Created in a shape to accommodate, a wide variety of demonic forms. The realm of the benighted, aristocracy of evil most pure. This is where wounds of deadly hate, have pierced so deep. Emerged from the depths of the earth gasps. It rages against mankind, to annihilate the earth and worse. It spills the blood like rain, the beauty of death it represents. Devouring their flesh with a razorblade smile. Genes would still blindly, carry on smouldering ember of Hell. Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush, that sweep all traces of time, place and pattern. A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Total death in every nation, monuments of vanquished civilization. Just as brilliantly removed ruthlessly, eliminated. The cornerstone of human emotions, has now been drained away. I saw death of a most uncommon nature. |

We do away with your kind! Countdown to exterminate, the human race 4, 3, 2, 1... Let chaos entwine, on defenseless soil. Remove errors of man, and sweep all the weakening kind. I am war, I am pain, I am all you’ve ever slain. I am tears in your eyes, I am grief, I am lies. Bygone are tolerance, and presence of grace. Scavengers are set out, to cleanse the human filth parade. I am pure, I am true, I am all over you. I am laugh, I am smile, I am the earth defiled. I am the cosmic storms, I am the tiny worms. I am fear in the night, I am bringer of the light. Earth successfully erased! |

Look at those lifeless leaves, all their precious pride is taken away. A lost creation for a graven image, trembling of nothing but their own fear. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. To surrender to a faith so fake, to not comprehend while you’re awake. Thrive on your deity for heaven’s sake. Do loose your battle, before actual birth. For some sheep, need the company of a shepherd. To face the scorn of the earth! Existential parasite drama across the lands, what a relief, never bother the why’s. Investing illusions and folding hands, the passion for mankind’s ignorance feeding you lies. All those naked faces and empty shells, procreation of the mind put to rest. Crippled and caged, anaesthesia adjust. The lambs of slaughter pre-occupied in disgust. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. |

8. | The Maelstrom Mephisto | 04:41 | Show lyrics |
Ride the vortex winds, with the beast inside. Cast down all memories, from a past and future world. The cynic icons, and the cryptic writings. As a picturesque creation, in force and spirit. Against their reason, and will, it is time. Give darkness it’s passion plea! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. Pledged to judgmental arrogance in, drawn principles of ignorant falsehood. To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself. A tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep. So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. In the dimness surrounding, the towers of the castle. Where the ravens spread, their wings out wide. Dwell in depths of the darker self, at any shore of infinity. And watch the relentless, paint the soil black. What is being formed, echoes throughout eternity. As the painter chooses color no more. Hold your shadows close, when the comedy is over. As the days of mourning, seem to be the days of joy. Fragments fell from the sky, in order to penetrate the eyes. A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies. Lies! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. |

As cyclones detach from the world above, and all the other worlds beneath them flow. Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories, sought to strive in twilight mist and penal fire. As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! Death has a contract, on life and Hell in between. What was once not certain, is now foreseen. When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. A magisterial maintenance, of diabolic education. Where the opposite of innocence, paves the way for intelligence. Where pearls are chained, for each tragic event. The glorification, of deviance in progress! When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! The glorification, of deviance in progress! As cyclones detach from the world above, and all the other worlds beneath them flow. Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories, sought to strive in twilight mist and penal fire. Liars in wait tries, to quench their thirst for more. Drowning victims of a parallel universe. The scum of the earth, a rejoice of fools. The world hates you, for being precise. |

Chains of despair, cloaked by darkness. The thundering echoes, of great destruction to come. Mankind’s mysteries, the dying world. Madness in it’s sweetest form! What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth, and melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. History foretold, the hidden stigmata. Totally annihilating, the ecstasies innumerable. Materialize the vision, give up the ghost. Cease the gloomy awakening! Madness in it’s sweetest form! What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! |

The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. Pledged to judgmental arrogance in, drawn principles of ignorant falsehood. To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself. A tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep. So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. In the dimness surrounding, the towers of the castle. Where the ravens spread, their wings out wide. Dwell in depths of the darker self, at any shore of infinity. And watch the relentless, paint the soil black. What is being formed, echoes throughout eternity. As the painter chooses color no more. Hold your shadows close, when the comedy is over. As the days of mourning, seem to be the days of joy. Fragments fell from the sky, in order to penetrate the eyes. A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies. Lies! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. |

Welcome to the abandoned land Come on in child, take my hand Here there’s no work or play Only one bill to pay There’s just five words to say As you go down, down, down You’re gonna burn in hell Oh, burn in hell You can’t believe all the things i’ve done wrong in my life Without even trying i’ve lived on the edge of a knife Well, i’ve played with fire, but i don’t want to get myself burned To thine own self be true, so i think that it’s time for a turn Before i burn in hell Oh, burn in hell Take a good look in your heart, tell me what do you see?

2. | Blessings upon the Throne of Tyranny | 05:19 | Show lyrics |
Infected by invalid behaviour, while capturing the stench, of divine putrefaction. Confess to slavery, for the world saviour. Give praise and inhale the corruption. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress. Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. The decrepit innocence, of your correctness and well chosen. Elicits the source of the need, for immediate forgiveness. Submit to no grace, but the pitiful of your disease. Apply to join the unlimited disgrace, and a settlement in the skies. And turn the confusion among your children, into self-stimulation. The incarnation of your prostitution, the true evil in disguise. With the ignorance from your cross, as the witness. The truth of your tragedy, make you justice. In your mirror the high spirit, of kindness looks like malice. Condemnation of life by the living dead. What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core. How unfortunate I am! Cursed to spend time, on a battle already won. The shame that will be guarding, your grave says it all. Retreat to the crypt, and make it worthwhile. Recall my sins furthermore, but still be watching yours with a smile. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. |

3. | Kings of the Carnival Creation | 07:45 | Show lyrics |
Incarnated marvels simplified effects from such a disconsolate kind. Impotence of the once so perfect living, erase and rewind. Stand rigid for the next battle, peace means reloading your guns. The love for life is all hatred in disguise, a carnival creation with masks undone. In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin, through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind. Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as the virulent truth, confidently dawned to pick the best of enemies. An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception. Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions. Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface and enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect. With such bedevilled faith in good subsequently trusting evil. Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Left are the kings of the carnival creation, carrying out the echoes of the fallen. Sense the withering eternity as it fades away, the ultimate graceless voyage of all times. Only Death will be guarding your angels silently, cripples joining arms in clamour. Institutionalized for the rebirth the herd will be hunted! |

4. | Hybrid Stigmata - The Apostasy | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
The apparition of two faces in disgust, invisible but yet so clear. Reflections seen by a fugitive, trying to escape the looking glass. Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh. The one in front of the mirror, exceeds the image Eager to leave further, but chained still. To crumble into such nothingness, adespairing fate for your lies. To pretend is the lunatic’s legacy, privileged to bolt the nails of heresy. Born lifeless into a world of coma. As the chronic sufferer, trapped in paradise lost. Missing insinuations of what, life was meant to be. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside. How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Holding the banner high, unrestrained. Slowly abandoning the surface in contempt. Still in costumes to please the ways of living. Witnessing the details of defilement, intoxicating! Make sure to be pleased, with the ways of your death. For in days of reckoning, and when the twilight torn is ticking. Elysium is halfway, as an answer to the plea. You’re destined to yield, fragments of Hell in return. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Leave unnoticed with the perfect conscience, with the strength of the spiritual eye. Spirits of the token unchained and free. Recover from the philanthropic, macabre frenzy. The pale dove grins, black at heart and ready to flee. Demon to some, angel to others! |

5. | Architecture of a Genocidal Nature | 06:08 | Show lyrics |
A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Created in a shape to accommodate, a wide variety of demonic forms. The realm of the benighted, aristocracy of evil most pure. This is where wounds of deadly hate, have pierced so deep. Emerged from the depths of the earth gasps. It rages against mankind, to annihilate the earth and worse. It spills the blood like rain, the beauty of death it represents. Devouring their flesh with a razorblade smile. Genes would still blindly, carry on smouldering ember of Hell. Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush, that sweep all traces of time, place and pattern. A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Total death in every nation, monuments of vanquished civilization. Just as brilliantly removed ruthlessly, eliminated. The cornerstone of human emotions, has now been drained away. I saw death of a most uncommon nature. |

Scavengers are set out, to cleanse the human filth parade. I am pure, I am true, I am all over you. I am laugh, I am smile, I am the earth defiled. I am the cosmic storms, I am the tiny worms. I am fear in the night, I am bringer of the light. Earth successfully erased! |

Look at those lifeless leaves, all their precious pride is taken away. A lost creation for a graven image, trembling of nothing but their own fear. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. To surrender to a faith so fake, to not comprehend while you’re awake. Thrive on your deity for heaven’s sake. Do loose your battle, before actual birth. For some sheep, need the company of a shepherd. To face the scorn of the earth! Existential parasite drama across the lands, what a relief, never bother the why’s. Investing illusions and folding hands, the passion for mankind’s ignorance feeding you lies. All those naked faces and empty shells, procreation of the mind put to rest. Crippled and caged, anaesthesia adjust. The lambs of slaughter pre-occupied in disgust. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. |

As cyclones detach from the world above, and all the other worlds beneath them flow. Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories, sought to strive in twilight mist and penal fire. As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! Death has a contract, on life and Hell in between. What was once not certain, is now foreseen. When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. A magisterial maintenance, of diabolic education. Where the opposite of innocence, paves the way for intelligence. Where pearls are chained, for each tragic event. The glorification, of deviance in progress! When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! The glorification, of deviance in progress! As cyclones detach from the world above, and all the other worlds beneath them flow. Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories, sought to strive in twilight mist and penal fire. Liars in wait tries, to quench their thirst for more. Drowning victims of a parallel universe. The scum of the earth, a rejoice of fools. The world hates you, for being precise. |

Chains of despair, cloaked by darkness. The thundering echoes, of great destruction to come. Mankind’s mysteries, the dying world. Madness in it’s sweetest form! What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth, and melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. History foretold, the hidden stigmata. Totally annihilating, the ecstasies innumerable. Materialize the vision, give up the ghost. Cease the gloomy awakening! Madness in it’s sweetest form! What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! |

As the days of mourning, seem to be the days of joy. Fragments fell from the sky, in order to penetrate the eyes. A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies. Lies! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. |

As cyclones detach from the world above, and all the other worlds beneath them flow. Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories, sought to strive in twilight mist and penal fire. As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! Death has a contract, on life and Hell in between. What was once not certain, is now foreseen. When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. A magisterial maintenance, of diabolic education. Where the opposite of innocence, paves the way for intelligence. Where pearls are chained, for each tragic event. The glorification, of deviance in progress!

Chains of despair, cloaked by darkness. The thundering echoes, of great destruction to come. Mankind’s mysteries, the dying world. Madness in it’s sweetest form! What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth, and melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. History foretold, the hidden stigmata. Totally annihilating, the ecstasies innumerable. Materialize the vision, give up the ghost. Cease the gloomy awakening! Madness in it’s sweetest form! What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! |

2. | Blessings upon the Throne of Tyranny | 05:19 | Show lyrics |
Infected by invalid behaviour, while capturing the stench, of divine putrefaction. Confess to slavery, for the world saviour. Give praise and inhale the corruption. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress. Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. The decrepit innocence, of your correctness and well chosen. Elicits the source of the need, for immediate forgiveness. Submit to no grace, but the pitiful of your disease. Apply to join the unlimited disgrace, and a settlement in the skies. And turn the confusion among your children, into self-stimulation. The incarnation of your prostitution, the true evil in disguise. With the ignorance from your cross, as the witness. The truth of your tragedy, make you justice. In your mirror the high spirit, of kindness looks like malice. Condemnation of life by the living dead. What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core. How unfortunate I am! Cursed to spend time, on a battle already won. The shame that will be guarding, your grave says it all. Retreat to the crypt, and make it worthwhile. Recall my sins furthermore, but still be watching yours with a smile. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. |

3. | Kings of the Carnival Creation | 07:45 | Show lyrics |
Incarnated marvels simplified effects from such a disconsolate kind. Impotence of the once so perfect living, erase and rewind. Stand rigid for the next battle, peace means reloading your guns. The love for life is all hatred in disguise, a carnival creation with masks undone. In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin, through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind. Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as the virulent truth, confidently dawned to pick the best of enemies. An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception. Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions. Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface and enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect. With such bedevilled faith in good subsequently trusting evil. Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Left are the kings of the carnival creation, carrying out the echoes of the fallen. Sense the withering eternity as it fades away, the ultimate graceless voyage of all times. Only Death will be guarding your angels silently, cripples joining arms in clamour. Institutionalized for the rebirth the herd will be hunted! |

4. | Hybrid Stigmata - The Apostasy | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
The apparition of two faces in disgust, invisible but yet so clear. Reflections seen by a fugitive, trying to escape the looking glass. Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh. The one in front of the mirror, exceeds the image Eager to leave further, but chained still. To crumble into such nothingness, adespairing fate for your lies. To pretend is the lunatic’s legacy, privileged to bolt the nails of heresy. Born lifeless into a world of coma. As the chronic sufferer, trapped in paradise lost. Missing insinuations of what, life was meant to be. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside. How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Holding the banner high, unrestrained. Slowly abandoning the surface in contempt. Still in costumes to please the ways of living. Witnessing the details of defilement, intoxicating! Make sure to be pleased, with the ways of your death. For in days of reckoning, and when the twilight torn is ticking. Elysium is halfway, as an answer to the plea. You’re destined to yield, fragments of Hell in return. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Leave unnoticed with the perfect conscience, with the strength of the spiritual eye. Spirits of the token unchained and free. Recover from the philanthropic, macabre frenzy. The pale dove grins, black at heart and ready to flee. Demon to some, angel to others! |

A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Created in a shape to accommodate, a wide variety of demonic forms. The realm of the benighted, aristocracy of evil most pure. This is where wounds of deadly hate, have pierced so deep. Emerged from the depths of the earth gasps. It rages against mankind, to annihilate the earth and worse. It spills the blood like rain, the beauty of death it represents. Devouring their flesh with a razorblade smile. Genes would still blindly, carry on smouldering ember of Hell. Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush, that sweep all traces of time, place and pattern. A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Total death in every nation, monuments of vanquished civilization. Just as brilliantly removed ruthlessly, eliminated. The cornerstone of human emotions, has now been drained away. I saw death of a most uncommon nature. |

Look at those lifeless leaves, all their precious pride is taken away. A lost creation for a graven image, trembling of nothing but their own fear. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. To surrender to a faith so fake, to not comprehend while you’re awake. Thrive on your deity for heaven’s sake. Do loose your battle, before actual birth. For some sheep, need the company of a shepherd. To face the scorn of the earth! Existential parasite drama across the lands, what a relief, never bother the why’s. Investing illusions and folding hands, the passion for mankind’s ignorance feeding you lies. All those naked faces and empty shells, procreation of the mind put to rest. Crippled and caged, anaesthesia adjust. The lambs of slaughter pre-occupied in disgust. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. |

Ride the vortex winds, with the beast inside. Cast down all memories, from a past and future world. The cynic icons, and the cryptic writings. As a picturesque creation, in force and spirit. Against their reason, and will, it is time. Give darkness it’s passion plea! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. Pledged to judgmental arrogance in, drawn principles of ignorant falsehood. To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself. A tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep. So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. In the dimness surrounding, the towers of the castle. Where the ravens spread, their wings out wide. Dwell in depths of the darker self, at any shore of infinity. And watch the relentless, paint the soil black. What is being formed, echoes throughout eternity. As the painter chooses color no more. Hold your shadows close, when the comedy is over.

Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. |

As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! Death has a contract, on life and Hell in between. What was once not certain, is now foreseen. When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. A magisterial maintenance, of diabolic education. Where the opposite of innocence, paves the way for intelligence. Where pearls are chained, for each tragic event. The glorification, of deviance in progress!

Chains of despair, cloaked by darkness. The thundering echoes, of great destruction to come. Mankind’s mysteries, the dying world. Madness in it’s sweetest form! What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth, and melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening.

2. | Blessings upon the Throne of Tyranny | 05:19 | Show lyrics |
Infected by invalid behaviour, while capturing the stench, of divine putrefaction. Confess to slavery, for the world saviour. Give praise and inhale the corruption. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress. Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. The decrepit innocence, of your correctness and well chosen. Elicits the source of the need, for immediate forgiveness. Submit to no grace, but the pitiful of your disease. Apply to join the unlimited disgrace, and a settlement in the skies. And turn the confusion among your children, into self-stimulation. The incarnation of your prostitution, the true evil in disguise. With the ignorance from your cross, as the witness. The truth of your tragedy, make you justice. In your mirror the high spirit, of kindness looks like malice. Condemnation of life by the living dead. What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core. How unfortunate I am! Cursed to spend time, on a battle already won. The shame that will be guarding, your grave says it all. Retreat to the crypt, and make it worthwhile. Recall my sins furthermore, but still be watching yours with a smile. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. |

3. | Kings of the Carnival Creation | 07:45 | Show lyrics |
Incarnated marvels simplified effects from such a disconsolate kind. Impotence of the once so perfect living, erase and rewind. Stand rigid for the next battle, peace means reloading your guns. The love for life is all hatred in disguise, a carnival creation with masks undone. In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin, through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind. Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as the virulent truth, confidently dawned to pick the best of enemies. An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception. Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions. Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface and enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect. With such bedevilled faith in good subsequently trusting evil. Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Left are the kings of the carnival creation, carrying out the echoes of the fallen. Sense the withering eternity as it fades away, the ultimate graceless voyage of all times. Only Death will be guarding your angels silently, cripples joining arms in clamour. Institutionalized for the rebirth the herd will be hunted! |

4. | Hybrid Stigmata - The Apostasy | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
The apparition of two faces in disgust, invisible but yet so clear. Reflections seen by a fugitive, trying to escape the looking glass. Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh. The one in front of the mirror, exceeds the image Eager to leave further, but chained still. To crumble into such nothingness, adespairing fate for your lies. To pretend is the lunatic’s legacy, privileged to bolt the nails of heresy. Born lifeless into a world of coma. As the chronic sufferer, trapped in paradise lost. Missing insinuations of what, life was meant to be. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside. How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Holding the banner high, unrestrained. Slowly abandoning the surface in contempt. Still in costumes to please the ways of living. Witnessing the details of defilement, intoxicating! Make sure to be pleased, with the ways of your death. For in days of reckoning, and when the twilight torn is ticking. Elysium is halfway, as an answer to the plea. You’re destined to yield, fragments of Hell in return. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Leave unnoticed with the perfect conscience, with the strength of the spiritual eye. Spirits of the token unchained and free. Recover from the philanthropic, macabre frenzy. The pale dove grins, black at heart and ready to flee. Demon to some, angel to others! |

A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Created in a shape to accommodate, a wide variety of demonic forms. The realm of the benighted, aristocracy of evil most pure. This is where wounds of deadly hate, have pierced so deep. Emerged from the depths of the earth gasps. It rages against mankind, to annihilate the earth and worse. It spills the blood like rain, the beauty of death it represents. Devouring their flesh with a razorblade smile. Genes would still blindly, carry on smouldering ember of Hell. Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush, that sweep all traces of time, place and pattern. A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Total death in every nation, monuments of vanquished civilization. Just as brilliantly removed ruthlessly, eliminated. The cornerstone of human emotions, has now been drained away. I saw death of a most uncommon nature. |

Look at those lifeless leaves, all their precious pride is taken away. A lost creation for a graven image, trembling of nothing but their own fear. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. To surrender to a faith so fake, to not comprehend while you’re awake. Thrive on your deity for heaven’s sake. Do loose your battle, before actual birth. For some sheep, need the company of a shepherd. To face the scorn of the earth! Existential parasite drama across the lands, what a relief, never bother the why’s. Investing illusions and folding hands, the passion for mankind’s ignorance feeding you lies. All those naked faces and empty shells, procreation of the mind put to rest. Crippled and caged, anaesthesia adjust. The lambs of slaughter pre-occupied in disgust. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine.

Ride the vortex winds, with the beast inside. Cast down all memories, from a past and future world. The cynic icons, and the cryptic writings. As a picturesque creation, in force and spirit. Against their reason, and will, it is time. Give darkness it’s passion plea! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. Pledged to judgmental arrogance in, drawn principles of ignorant falsehood. To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself. A tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep. So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. In the dimness surrounding, the towers of the castle. Where the ravens spread, their wings out wide. Dwell in depths of the darker self, at any shore of infinity. And watch the relentless, paint the soil black. What is being formed, echoes throughout eternity. As the painter chooses color no more. Hold your shadows close, when the comedy is over. As the days of mourning, seem to be the days of joy. Fragments fell from the sky, in order to penetrate the eyes. A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies. Lies! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well!

As the days of mourning, seem to be the days of joy. Fragments fell from the sky, in order to penetrate the eyes. A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies. Lies! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. |

As cyclones detach from the world above, and all the other worlds beneath them flow. Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories, sought to strive in twilight mist and penal fire. As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! Death has a contract, on life and Hell in between. What was once not certain, is now foreseen. When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. A magisterial maintenance, of diabolic education. Where the opposite of innocence, paves the way for intelligence. Where pearls are chained, for each tragic event. The glorification, of deviance in progress!

Chains of despair, cloaked by darkness. The thundering echoes, of great destruction to come. Mankind’s mysteries, the dying world. Madness in it’s sweetest form! What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth, and melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening.

2. | Blessings upon the Throne of Tyranny | 05:19 | Show lyrics |
Infected by invalid behaviour, while capturing the stench, of divine putrefaction. Confess to slavery, for the world saviour. Give praise and inhale the corruption. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress. Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. The decrepit innocence, of your correctness and well chosen. Elicits the source of the need, for immediate forgiveness. Submit to no grace, but the pitiful of your disease. Apply to join the unlimited disgrace, and a settlement in the skies. And turn the confusion among your children, into self-stimulation. The incarnation of your prostitution, the true evil in disguise. With the ignorance from your cross, as the witness. The truth of your tragedy, make you justice. In your mirror the high spirit, of kindness looks like malice. Condemnation of life by the living dead. What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core. How unfortunate I am! Cursed to spend time, on a battle already won. The shame that will be guarding, your grave says it all. Retreat to the crypt, and make it worthwhile. Recall my sins furthermore, but still be watching yours with a smile. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. |

Incarnated marvels simplified effects from such a disconsolate kind. Impotence of the once so perfect living, erase and rewind. Stand rigid for the next battle, peace means reloading your guns. The love for life is all hatred in disguise, a carnival creation with masks undone. In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin, through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind. Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as the virulent truth, confidently dawned to pick the best of enemies. An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception. Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions. Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface and enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect. With such bedevilled faith in good subsequently trusting evil. Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Left are the kings of the carnival creation, carrying out the echoes of the fallen. Sense the withering eternity as it fades away, the ultimate graceless voyage of all times. Only Death will be guarding your angels silently, cripples joining arms in clamour. Institutionalized for the rebirth the herd will be hunted! |

4. | Hybrid Stigmata - The Apostasy | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
The apparition of two faces in disgust, invisible but yet so clear. Reflections seen by a fugitive, trying to escape the looking glass. Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh. The one in front of the mirror, exceeds the image Eager to leave further, but chained still. To crumble into such nothingness, adespairing fate for your lies. To pretend is the lunatic’s legacy, privileged to bolt the nails of heresy. Born lifeless into a world of coma. As the chronic sufferer, trapped in paradise lost. Missing insinuations of what, life was meant to be. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside. How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Holding the banner high, unrestrained. Slowly abandoning the surface in contempt. Still in costumes to please the ways of living. Witnessing the details of defilement, intoxicating! Make sure to be pleased, with the ways of your death. For in days of reckoning, and when the twilight torn is ticking. Elysium is halfway, as an answer to the plea. You’re destined to yield, fragments of Hell in return. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Leave unnoticed with the perfect conscience, with the strength of the spiritual eye. Spirits of the token unchained and free. Recover from the philanthropic, macabre frenzy. The pale dove grins, black at heart and ready to flee. Demon to some, angel to others! |

A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Created in a shape to accommodate, a wide variety of demonic forms. The realm of the benighted, aristocracy of evil most pure. This is where wounds of deadly hate, have pierced so deep. Emerged from the depths of the earth gasps. It rages against mankind, to annihilate the earth and worse. It spills the blood like rain, the beauty of death it represents. Devouring their flesh with a razorblade smile. Genes would still blindly, carry on smouldering ember of Hell. Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush, that sweep all traces of time, place and pattern. A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Total death in every nation, monuments of vanquished civilization. Just as brilliantly removed ruthlessly, eliminated. The cornerstone of human emotions, has now been drained away. I saw death of a most uncommon nature. |

Look at those lifeless leaves, all their precious pride is taken away. A lost creation for a graven image, trembling of nothing but their own fear. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. To surrender to a faith so fake, to not comprehend while you’re awake. Thrive on your deity for heaven’s sake. Do loose your battle, before actual birth. For some sheep, need the company of a shepherd. To face the scorn of the earth! Existential parasite drama across the lands, what a relief, never bother the why’s. Investing illusions and folding hands, the passion for mankind’s ignorance feeding you lies. All those naked faces and empty shells, procreation of the mind put to rest. Crippled and caged, anaesthesia adjust. The lambs of slaughter pre-occupied in disgust. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. |

Ride the vortex winds, with the beast inside. Cast down all memories, from a past and future world. The cynic icons, and the cryptic writings. As a picturesque creation, in force and spirit. Against their reason, and will, it is time. Give darkness it’s passion plea! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. Pledged to judgmental arrogance in, drawn principles of ignorant falsehood. To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself. A tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep. So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. In the dimness surrounding, the towers of the castle. Where the ravens spread, their wings out wide. Dwell in depths of the darker self, at any shore of infinity. And watch the relentless, paint the soil black. What is being formed, echoes throughout eternity. As the painter chooses color no more. Hold your shadows close, when the comedy is over.

It’s black and it’s dark, now is that how you want it to be? It’s up to you, what you do will decide your own fate Make your choice now for tomorrow may be far too late And then you’ll burn in hell Hear no evil, don’t you See no evil, don’t you Oh, burn in hell Lay no evil down on me You’re gonna burn in hell Speak no evil, don’t you Think no evil, don’t you Oh, burn in hell Play with evil, ’cause i’m free Hear no evil, don’t you See no evil, don’t you Lay no evil down on me You’re gonna burn in hell Speak no evil, don’t you Think no evil, don’t you Play with evil, ’cause i’m free You’re gonna burn in hell Hear no evil, don’t you See no evil, don’t you Lay no evil down on me You’re gonna burn in hell Speak no evil, don’t you Think no evil, don’t you Play with evil, ’cause i’m free You’re gonna burn in hell Hear no evil, don’t you see no evil Oh, burn in hell Don’t you lay no evil down on me You’re gonna burn in hell Speak no evil, don’t you think no evil, Oh, burn in hell Don’t you play with evil, ’cause i’m free You’re gonna burn in hell Hear no evil, don’t you see no evil Oh, burn in hell Don’t you lay no evil down on me |

The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. |

As cyclones detach from the world above, and all the other worlds beneath them flow. Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories, sought to strive in twilight mist and penal fire. As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! Death has a contract, on life and Hell in between. What was once not certain, is now foreseen. When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. A magisterial maintenance, of diabolic education. Where the opposite of innocence, paves the way for intelligence. Where pearls are chained, for each tragic event. The glorification, of deviance in progress!

Chains of despair, cloaked by darkness. The thundering echoes, of great destruction to come. Mankind’s mysteries, the dying world. Madness in it’s sweetest form! What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth, and melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. History foretold, the hidden stigmata. Totally annihilating, the ecstasies innumerable. Materialize the vision, give up the ghost. Cease the gloomy awakening! Madness in it’s sweetest form! What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! |

Welcome to the abandoned land Come on in child, take my hand Here there’s no work or play Only one bill to pay There’s just five words to say As you go down, down, down You’re gonna burn in hell Oh, burn in hell You can’t believe all the things i’ve done wrong in my life Without even trying i’ve lived on the edge of a knife Well, i’ve played with fire, but i don’t want to get myself burned To thine own self be true, so i think that it’s time for a turn Before i burn in hell Oh, burn in hell Take a good look in your heart, tell me what do you see? It’s black and it’s dark, now is that how you want it to be? It’s up to you, what you do will decide your own fate Make your choice now for tomorrow may be far too late And then you’ll burn in hell Hear no evil, don’t you See no evil, don’t you Oh, burn in hell Lay no evil down on me You’re gonna burn in hell Speak no evil, don’t you Think no evil, don’t you Oh, burn in hell Play with evil, ’cause i’m free Hear no evil, don’t you See no evil, don’t you Lay no evil down on me You’re gonna burn in hell Speak no evil, don’t you Think no evil, don’t you Play with evil, ’cause i’m free You’re gonna burn in hell Hear no evil, don’t you See no evil, don’t you Lay no evil down on me You’re gonna burn in hell Speak no evil, don’t you Think no evil, don’t you Play with evil, ’cause i’m free You’re gonna burn in hell Hear no evil, don’t you see no evil Oh, burn in hell Don’t you lay no evil down on me You’re gonna burn in hell Speak no evil, don’t you think no evil, Oh, burn in hell Don’t you play with evil, ’cause i’m free You’re gonna burn in hell Hear no evil, don’t you see no evil Oh, burn in hell Don’t you lay no evil down on me |

2. | Blessings upon the Throne of Tyranny | 05:19 | Show lyrics |
Infected by invalid behaviour, while capturing the stench, of divine putrefaction. Confess to slavery, for the world saviour. Give praise and inhale the corruption. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress. Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. The decrepit innocence, of your correctness and well chosen. Elicits the source of the need, for immediate forgiveness. Submit to no grace, but the pitiful of your disease. Apply to join the unlimited disgrace, and a settlement in the skies. And turn the confusion among your children, into self-stimulation. The incarnation of your prostitution, the true evil in disguise. With the ignorance from your cross, as the witness. The truth of your tragedy, make you justice. In your mirror the high spirit, of kindness looks like malice. Condemnation of life by the living dead. What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core. How unfortunate I am! Cursed to spend time, on a battle already won. The shame that will be guarding, your grave says it all. Retreat to the crypt, and make it worthwhile. Recall my sins furthermore, but still be watching yours with a smile. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. |

3. | Kings of the Carnival Creation | 07:45 | Show lyrics |
Incarnated marvels simplified effects from such a disconsolate kind. Impotence of the once so perfect living, erase and rewind. Stand rigid for the next battle, peace means reloading your guns. The love for life is all hatred in disguise, a carnival creation with masks undone. In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin, through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind. Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as the virulent truth, confidently dawned to pick the best of enemies. An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception. Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions. Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface and enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect. With such bedevilled faith in good subsequently trusting evil. Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Left are the kings of the carnival creation, carrying out the echoes of the fallen. Sense the withering eternity as it fades away, the ultimate graceless voyage of all times. Only Death will be guarding your angels silently, cripples joining arms in clamour. Institutionalized for the rebirth the herd will be hunted! |

4. | Hybrid Stigmata - The Apostasy | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
The apparition of two faces in disgust, invisible but yet so clear. Reflections seen by a fugitive, trying to escape the looking glass. Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh. The one in front of the mirror, exceeds the image Eager to leave further, but chained still. To crumble into such nothingness, adespairing fate for your lies. To pretend is the lunatic’s legacy, privileged to bolt the nails of heresy. Born lifeless into a world of coma. As the chronic sufferer, trapped in paradise lost. Missing insinuations of what, life was meant to be. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside. How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Holding the banner high, unrestrained. Slowly abandoning the surface in contempt. Still in costumes to please the ways of living. Witnessing the details of defilement, intoxicating! Make sure to be pleased, with the ways of your death. For in days of reckoning, and when the twilight torn is ticking. Elysium is halfway, as an answer to the plea. You’re destined to yield, fragments of Hell in return. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Leave unnoticed with the perfect conscience, with the strength of the spiritual eye. Spirits of the token unchained and free. Recover from the philanthropic, macabre frenzy. The pale dove grins, black at heart and ready to flee. Demon to some, angel to others! |

5. | Architecture of a Genocidal Nature | 06:08 | Show lyrics |
A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Created in a shape to accommodate, a wide variety of demonic forms. The realm of the benighted, aristocracy of evil most pure. This is where wounds of deadly hate, have pierced so deep. Emerged from the depths of the earth gasps. It rages against mankind, to annihilate the earth and worse. It spills the blood like rain, the beauty of death it represents. Devouring their flesh with a razorblade smile. Genes would still blindly, carry on smouldering ember of Hell. Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush, that sweep all traces of time, place and pattern. A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Total death in every nation, monuments of vanquished civilization. Just as brilliantly removed ruthlessly, eliminated. The cornerstone of human emotions, has now been drained away. I saw death of a most uncommon nature. |

I am war, I am pain, I am all you’ve ever slain. I am tears in your eyes, I am grief, I am lies. Bygone are tolerance, and presence of grace. Scavengers are set out, to cleanse the human filth parade. I am pure, I am true, I am all over you. I am laugh, I am smile, I am the earth defiled. I am the cosmic storms, I am the tiny worms. I am fear in the night, I am bringer of the light. Earth successfully erased! |

Look at those lifeless leaves, all their precious pride is taken away. A lost creation for a graven image, trembling of nothing but their own fear. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. To surrender to a faith so fake, to not comprehend while you’re awake. Thrive on your deity for heaven’s sake. Do loose your battle, before actual birth. For some sheep, need the company of a shepherd. To face the scorn of the earth! Existential parasite drama across the lands, what a relief, never bother the why’s. Investing illusions and folding hands, the passion for mankind’s ignorance feeding you lies. All those naked faces and empty shells, procreation of the mind put to rest. Crippled and caged, anaesthesia adjust. The lambs of slaughter pre-occupied in disgust. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. |

Ride the vortex winds, with the beast inside. Cast down all memories, from a past and future world. The cynic icons, and the cryptic writings. As a picturesque creation, in force and spirit. Against their reason, and will, it is time. Give darkness it’s passion plea! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. Pledged to judgmental arrogance in, drawn principles of ignorant falsehood. To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself. A tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep. So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. In the dimness surrounding, the towers of the castle. Where the ravens spread, their wings out wide. Dwell in depths of the darker self, at any shore of infinity. And watch the relentless, paint the soil black. What is being formed, echoes throughout eternity. As the painter chooses color no more. Hold your shadows close, when the comedy is over. As the days of mourning, seem to be the days of joy. Fragments fell from the sky, in order to penetrate the eyes. A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies. Lies! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. |

As cyclones detach from the world above, and all the other worlds beneath them flow. Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories, sought to strive in twilight mist and penal fire. As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! Death has a contract, on life and Hell in between. What was once not certain, is now foreseen. When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. A magisterial maintenance, of diabolic education. Where the opposite of innocence, paves the way for intelligence. Where pearls are chained, for each tragic event. The glorification, of deviance in progress! When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! The glorification, of deviance in progress! As cyclones detach from the world above, and all the other worlds beneath them flow. Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories, sought to strive in twilight mist and penal fire. Liars in wait tries, to quench their thirst for more. Drowning victims of a parallel universe. The scum of the earth, a rejoice of fools. The world hates you, for being precise. |

Chains of despair, cloaked by darkness. The thundering echoes, of great destruction to come. Mankind’s mysteries, the dying world. Madness in it’s sweetest form! What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth, and melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. History foretold, the hidden stigmata. Totally annihilating, the ecstasies innumerable. Materialize the vision, give up the ghost. Cease the gloomy awakening! Madness in it’s sweetest form! What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! |

2. | Blessings upon the Throne of Tyranny | 05:19 | Show lyrics |
Infected by invalid behaviour, while capturing the stench, of divine putrefaction. Confess to slavery, for the world saviour. Give praise and inhale the corruption. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress. Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. The decrepit innocence, of your correctness and well chosen. Elicits the source of the need, for immediate forgiveness. Submit to no grace, but the pitiful of your disease. Apply to join the unlimited disgrace, and a settlement in the skies. And turn the confusion among your children, into self-stimulation. The incarnation of your prostitution, the true evil in disguise. With the ignorance from your cross, as the witness. The truth of your tragedy, make you justice. In your mirror the high spirit, of kindness looks like malice. Condemnation of life by the living dead. What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core. How unfortunate I am! Cursed to spend time, on a battle already won. The shame that will be guarding, your grave says it all. Retreat to the crypt, and make it worthwhile. Recall my sins furthermore, but still be watching yours with a smile. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. |

3. | Kings of the Carnival Creation | 07:45 | Show lyrics |
Incarnated marvels simplified effects from such a disconsolate kind. Impotence of the once so perfect living, erase and rewind. Stand rigid for the next battle, peace means reloading your guns. The love for life is all hatred in disguise, a carnival creation with masks undone. In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin, through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind. Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as the virulent truth, confidently dawned to pick the best of enemies. An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception. Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions. Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface and enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect. With such bedevilled faith in good subsequently trusting evil. Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Left are the kings of the carnival creation, carrying out the echoes of the fallen. Sense the withering eternity as it fades away, the ultimate graceless voyage of all times. Only Death will be guarding your angels silently, cripples joining arms in clamour. Institutionalized for the rebirth the herd will be hunted! |

4. | Hybrid Stigmata - The Apostasy | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
The apparition of two faces in disgust, invisible but yet so clear. Reflections seen by a fugitive, trying to escape the looking glass. Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh. The one in front of the mirror, exceeds the image Eager to leave further, but chained still. To crumble into such nothingness, adespairing fate for your lies. To pretend is the lunatic’s legacy, privileged to bolt the nails of heresy. Born lifeless into a world of coma. As the chronic sufferer, trapped in paradise lost. Missing insinuations of what, life was meant to be. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside. How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Holding the banner high, unrestrained. Slowly abandoning the surface in contempt. Still in costumes to please the ways of living. Witnessing the details of defilement, intoxicating! Make sure to be pleased, with the ways of your death. For in days of reckoning, and when the twilight torn is ticking. Elysium is halfway, as an answer to the plea. You’re destined to yield, fragments of Hell in return. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Leave unnoticed with the perfect conscience, with the strength of the spiritual eye. Spirits of the token unchained and free. Recover from the philanthropic, macabre frenzy. The pale dove grins, black at heart and ready to flee. Demon to some, angel to others! |

5. | Architecture of a Genocidal Nature | 06:08 | Show lyrics |
A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Created in a shape to accommodate, a wide variety of demonic forms. The realm of the benighted, aristocracy of evil most pure. This is where wounds of deadly hate, have pierced so deep. Emerged from the depths of the earth gasps. It rages against mankind, to annihilate the earth and worse. It spills the blood like rain, the beauty of death it represents. Devouring their flesh with a razorblade smile. Genes would still blindly, carry on smouldering ember of Hell. Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush, that sweep all traces of time, place and pattern. A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Total death in every nation, monuments of vanquished civilization. Just as brilliantly removed ruthlessly, eliminated. The cornerstone of human emotions, has now been drained away. I saw death of a most uncommon nature. |

We do away with your kind! Countdown to exterminate, the human race 4, 3, 2, 1... Let chaos entwine, on defenseless soil. Remove errors of man, and sweep all the weakening kind. I am war, I am pain, I am all you’ve ever slain. I am tears in your eyes, I am grief, I am lies. Bygone are tolerance, and presence of grace. Scavengers are set out, to cleanse the human filth parade. I am pure, I am true, I am all over you. I am laugh, I am smile, I am the earth defiled. I am the cosmic storms, I am the tiny worms. I am fear in the night, I am bringer of the light. Earth successfully erased! |

Look at those lifeless leaves, all their precious pride is taken away. A lost creation for a graven image, trembling of nothing but their own fear. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. To surrender to a faith so fake, to not comprehend while you’re awake. Thrive on your deity for heaven’s sake. Do loose your battle, before actual birth. For some sheep, need the company of a shepherd. To face the scorn of the earth! Existential parasite drama across the lands, what a relief, never bother the why’s. Investing illusions and folding hands, the passion for mankind’s ignorance feeding you lies. All those naked faces and empty shells, procreation of the mind put to rest. Crippled and caged, anaesthesia adjust. The lambs of slaughter pre-occupied in disgust. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. |

8. | The Maelstrom Mephisto | 04:41 | Show lyrics |
Ride the vortex winds, with the beast inside. Cast down all memories, from a past and future world. The cynic icons, and the cryptic writings. As a picturesque creation, in force and spirit. Against their reason, and will, it is time. Give darkness it’s passion plea! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. Pledged to judgmental arrogance in, drawn principles of ignorant falsehood. To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself. A tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep. So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. In the dimness surrounding, the towers of the castle. Where the ravens spread, their wings out wide. Dwell in depths of the darker self, at any shore of infinity. And watch the relentless, paint the soil black. What is being formed, echoes throughout eternity. As the painter chooses color no more. Hold your shadows close, when the comedy is over. As the days of mourning, seem to be the days of joy. Fragments fell from the sky, in order to penetrate the eyes. A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies. Lies! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. |

2. | Blessings upon the Throne of Tyranny | 05:19 | Show lyrics |
Infected by invalid behaviour, while capturing the stench, of divine putrefaction. Confess to slavery, for the world saviour. Give praise and inhale the corruption. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress. Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. The decrepit innocence, of your correctness and well chosen. Elicits the source of the need, for immediate forgiveness. Submit to no grace, but the pitiful of your disease. Apply to join the unlimited disgrace, and a settlement in the skies. And turn the confusion among your children, into self-stimulation. The incarnation of your prostitution, the true evil in disguise. With the ignorance from your cross, as the witness. The truth of your tragedy, make you justice. In your mirror the high spirit, of kindness looks like malice. Condemnation of life by the living dead. What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core. How unfortunate I am! Cursed to spend time, on a battle already won. The shame that will be guarding, your grave says it all. Retreat to the crypt, and make it worthwhile. Recall my sins furthermore, but still be watching yours with a smile. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. |

3. | Kings of the Carnival Creation | 07:45 | Show lyrics |
Incarnated marvels simplified effects from such a disconsolate kind. Impotence of the once so perfect living, erase and rewind. Stand rigid for the next battle, peace means reloading your guns. The love for life is all hatred in disguise, a carnival creation with masks undone. In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin, through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind. Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as the virulent truth, confidently dawned to pick the best of enemies. An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception. Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions. Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface and enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect. With such bedevilled faith in good subsequently trusting evil. Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Left are the kings of the carnival creation, carrying out the echoes of the fallen. Sense the withering eternity as it fades away, the ultimate graceless voyage of all times. Only Death will be guarding your angels silently, cripples joining arms in clamour. Institutionalized for the rebirth the herd will be hunted! |

4. | Hybrid Stigmata - The Apostasy | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
The apparition of two faces in disgust, invisible but yet so clear. Reflections seen by a fugitive, trying to escape the looking glass. Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh. The one in front of the mirror, exceeds the image Eager to leave further, but chained still. To crumble into such nothingness, adespairing fate for your lies. To pretend is the lunatic’s legacy, privileged to bolt the nails of heresy. Born lifeless into a world of coma. As the chronic sufferer, trapped in paradise lost. Missing insinuations of what, life was meant to be. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside. How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Holding the banner high, unrestrained. Slowly abandoning the surface in contempt. Still in costumes to please the ways of living. Witnessing the details of defilement, intoxicating! Make sure to be pleased, with the ways of your death. For in days of reckoning, and when the twilight torn is ticking. Elysium is halfway, as an answer to the plea. You’re destined to yield, fragments of Hell in return. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Leave unnoticed with the perfect conscience, with the strength of the spiritual eye. Spirits of the token unchained and free. Recover from the philanthropic, macabre frenzy. The pale dove grins, black at heart and ready to flee. Demon to some, angel to others! |

5. | Architecture of a Genocidal Nature | 06:08 | Show lyrics |
A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Created in a shape to accommodate, a wide variety of demonic forms. The realm of the benighted, aristocracy of evil most pure. This is where wounds of deadly hate, have pierced so deep. Emerged from the depths of the earth gasps. It rages against mankind, to annihilate the earth and worse. It spills the blood like rain, the beauty of death it represents. Devouring their flesh with a razorblade smile. Genes would still blindly, carry on smouldering ember of Hell. Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush, that sweep all traces of time, place and pattern. A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Total death in every nation, monuments of vanquished civilization. Just as brilliantly removed ruthlessly, eliminated. The cornerstone of human emotions, has now been drained away. I saw death of a most uncommon nature. |

We do away with your kind! Countdown to exterminate, the human race 4, 3, 2, 1... Let chaos entwine, on defenseless soil. Remove errors of man, and sweep all the weakening kind. I am war, I am pain, I am all you’ve ever slain. I am tears in your eyes, I am grief, I am lies. Bygone are tolerance, and presence of grace. Scavengers are set out, to cleanse the human filth parade. I am pure, I am true, I am all over you. I am laugh, I am smile, I am the earth defiled. I am the cosmic storms, I am the tiny worms. I am fear in the night, I am bringer of the light. Earth successfully erased! |

Look at those lifeless leaves, all their precious pride is taken away. A lost creation for a graven image, trembling of nothing but their own fear. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. To surrender to a faith so fake, to not comprehend while you’re awake. Thrive on your deity for heaven’s sake. Do loose your battle, before actual birth. For some sheep, need the company of a shepherd. To face the scorn of the earth! Existential parasite drama across the lands, what a relief, never bother the why’s. Investing illusions and folding hands, the passion for mankind’s ignorance feeding you lies. All those naked faces and empty shells, procreation of the mind put to rest. Crippled and caged, anaesthesia adjust. The lambs of slaughter pre-occupied in disgust. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. |

2. | The Maelstrom Mephisto | 04:41 | Show lyrics |
Ride the vortex winds, with the beast inside. Cast down all memories, from a past and future world. The cynic icons, and the cryptic writings. As a picturesque creation, in force and spirit. Against their reason, and will, it is time. Give darkness it’s passion plea! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. Pledged to judgmental arrogance in, drawn principles of ignorant falsehood. To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself. A tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep. So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. In the dimness surrounding, the towers of the castle. Where the ravens spread, their wings out wide. Dwell in depths of the darker self, at any shore of infinity. And watch the relentless, paint the soil black. What is being formed, echoes throughout eternity. As the painter chooses color no more. Hold your shadows close, when the comedy is over. As the days of mourning, seem to be the days of joy. Fragments fell from the sky, in order to penetrate the eyes. A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies. Lies! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. |

As cyclones detach from the world above, and all the other worlds beneath them flow. Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories, sought to strive in twilight mist and penal fire. As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! Death has a contract, on life and Hell in between. What was once not certain, is now foreseen. When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. A magisterial maintenance, of diabolic education. Where the opposite of innocence, paves the way for intelligence. Where pearls are chained, for each tragic event. The glorification, of deviance in progress! When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! The glorification, of deviance in progress!

Liars in wait tries, to quench their thirst for more. Drowning victims of a parallel universe. The scum of the earth, a rejoice of fools. The world hates you, for being precise. |

Chains of despair, cloaked by darkness. The thundering echoes, of great destruction to come. Mankind’s mysteries, the dying world. Madness in it’s sweetest form!

Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth, and melancholy grew!

It’s black and it’s dark, now is that how you want it to be? It’s up to you, what you do will decide your own fate Make your choice now for tomorrow may be far too late And then you’ll burn in hell Hear no evil, don’t you See no evil, don’t you Oh, burn in hell Lay no evil down on me You’re gonna burn in hell Speak no evil, don’t you Think no evil, don’t you Oh, burn in hell Play with evil, ’cause i’m free Hear no evil, don’t you See no evil, don’t you Lay no evil down on me You’re gonna burn in hell Speak no evil, don’t you Think no evil, don’t you Play with evil, ’cause i’m free You’re gonna burn in hell Hear no evil, don’t you See no evil, don’t you Lay no evil down on me You’re gonna burn in hell Speak no evil, don’t you Think no evil, don’t you Play with evil, ’cause i’m free You’re gonna burn in hell Hear no evil, don’t you see no evil Oh, burn in hell Don’t you lay no evil down on me You’re gonna burn in hell Speak no evil, don’t you think no evil, Oh, burn in hell Don’t you play with evil, ’cause i’m free You’re gonna burn in hell Hear no evil, don’t you see no evil Oh, burn in hell Don’t you lay no evil down on me |

2. | Blessings upon the Throne of Tyranny | 05:19 | Show lyrics |
Infected by invalid behaviour, while capturing the stench, of divine putrefaction. Confess to slavery, for the world saviour. Give praise and inhale the corruption. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress. Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter. The enfeebled provides the fool, the disabled provides the tool. The Apathetic demands the affection, to those suffering from their own satisfaction. The decrepit innocence, of your correctness and well chosen. Elicits the source of the need, for immediate forgiveness. Submit to no grace, but the pitiful of your disease. Apply to join the unlimited disgrace, and a settlement in the skies. And turn the confusion among your children, into self-stimulation. The incarnation of your prostitution, the true evil in disguise. With the ignorance from your cross, as the witness. The truth of your tragedy, make you justice. In your mirror the high spirit, of kindness looks like malice. Condemnation of life by the living dead. What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core. How unfortunate I am! Cursed to spend time, on a battle already won. The shame that will be guarding, your grave says it all. Retreat to the crypt, and make it worthwhile. Recall my sins furthermore, but still be watching yours with a smile. Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague. Testify today’s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed. |

3. | Kings of the Carnival Creation | 07:45 | Show lyrics |
Incarnated marvels simplified effects from such a disconsolate kind. Impotence of the once so perfect living, erase and rewind. Stand rigid for the next battle, peace means reloading your guns. The love for life is all hatred in disguise, a carnival creation with masks undone. In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin, through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind. Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as the virulent truth, confidently dawned to pick the best of enemies. An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception. Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions. Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface and enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect. With such bedevilled faith in good subsequently trusting evil. Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin. With the stigma feasting upon your flesh as I wish you well, thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin. Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our Planet Hell. What on earth possessed you? Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues. Left are the kings of the carnival creation, carrying out the echoes of the fallen. Sense the withering eternity as it fades away, the ultimate graceless voyage of all times. Only Death will be guarding your angels silently, cripples joining arms in clamour. Institutionalized for the rebirth the herd will be hunted! |

4. | Hybrid Stigmata - The Apostasy | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
The apparition of two faces in disgust, invisible but yet so clear. Reflections seen by a fugitive, trying to escape the looking glass. Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh. The one in front of the mirror, exceeds the image Eager to leave further, but chained still. To crumble into such nothingness, adespairing fate for your lies. To pretend is the lunatic’s legacy, privileged to bolt the nails of heresy. Born lifeless into a world of coma. As the chronic sufferer, trapped in paradise lost. Missing insinuations of what, life was meant to be. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside. How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Holding the banner high, unrestrained. Slowly abandoning the surface in contempt. Still in costumes to please the ways of living. Witnessing the details of defilement, intoxicating! Make sure to be pleased, with the ways of your death. For in days of reckoning, and when the twilight torn is ticking. Elysium is halfway, as an answer to the plea. You’re destined to yield, fragments of Hell in return. The charlatans and deceivers, walk the line in prejudice. The narrow slits the veins, in search for the crown. Profound impatience, makes the blind struggle in stupidity. The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is confiteor. Angels and demons, a march man’s bewildering hosts. Leave unnoticed with the perfect conscience, with the strength of the spiritual eye. Spirits of the token unchained and free. Recover from the philanthropic, macabre frenzy. The pale dove grins, black at heart and ready to flee. Demon to some, angel to others! |

5. | Architecture of a Genocidal Nature | 06:08 | Show lyrics |
A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Created in a shape to accommodate, a wide variety of demonic forms. The realm of the benighted, aristocracy of evil most pure. This is where wounds of deadly hate, have pierced so deep. Emerged from the depths of the earth gasps. It rages against mankind, to annihilate the earth and worse. It spills the blood like rain, the beauty of death it represents. Devouring their flesh with a razorblade smile. Genes would still blindly, carry on smouldering ember of Hell. Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush, that sweep all traces of time, place and pattern. A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn. The brush that sweeps, across the spectral fields. This landscape is not, without a sense of epic wonder. A vast scale that places this sprawling, underworld into a realm of frames. With a blood storm fading into the distance. Floating without directions, over this smouldering landscape. Caught in a moment of transformation. These shades of anatomic malignant nature, approached on another in an unpleasant way. Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it’s state. Total death in every nation, monuments of vanquished civilization. Just as brilliantly removed ruthlessly, eliminated. The cornerstone of human emotions, has now been drained away. I saw death of a most uncommon nature. |

6. | Puritania | 03:01 | Show lyrics |
We do away with your kind! Countdown to exterminate, the human race 4, 3, 2, 1... Let chaos entwine, on defenseless soil. Remove errors of man, and sweep all the weakening kind. I am war, I am pain, I am all you’ve ever slain. I am tears in your eyes, I am grief, I am lies. Bygone are tolerance, and presence of grace. Scavengers are set out, to cleanse the human filth parade. I am pure, I am true, I am all over you. I am laugh, I am smile, I am the earth defiled. I am the cosmic storms, I am the tiny worms. I am fear in the night, I am bringer of the light. Earth successfully erased! |

7. | IndoctriNation | 05:57 | Show lyrics |
Look at those lifeless leaves, all their precious pride is taken away. A lost creation for a graven image, trembling of nothing but their own fear. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. To surrender to a faith so fake, to not comprehend while you’re awake. Thrive on your deity for heaven’s sake. Do loose your battle, before actual birth. For some sheep, need the company of a shepherd. To face the scorn of the earth! Existential parasite drama across the lands, what a relief, never bother the why’s. Investing illusions and folding hands, the passion for mankind’s ignorance feeding you lies. All those naked faces and empty shells, procreation of the mind put to rest. Crippled and caged, anaesthesia adjust. The lambs of slaughter pre-occupied in disgust. On behalf of water made to wine, elements of deception must entwine. Righteous greed and derangement divine, vacuum is given to the blind. |

8. | The Maelstrom Mephisto | 04:41 | Show lyrics |
Ride the vortex winds, with the beast inside. Cast down all memories, from a past and future world. The cynic icons, and the cryptic writings. As a picturesque creation, in force and spirit. Against their reason, and will, it is time. Give darkness it’s passion plea! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. Pledged to judgmental arrogance in, drawn principles of ignorant falsehood. To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself. A tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep. So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. In the dimness surrounding, the towers of the castle. Where the ravens spread, their wings out wide. Dwell in depths of the darker self, at any shore of infinity. And watch the relentless, paint the soil black. What is being formed, echoes throughout eternity. As the painter chooses color no more. Hold your shadows close, when the comedy is over. As the days of mourning, seem to be the days of joy. Fragments fell from the sky, in order to penetrate the eyes. A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies. Lies! The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison, paralyze the angels! freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire, unleash the Devil at heart. Unleash the Maelstrom Mephisto! So sinner, mourn well! Make all the swans suffer in Hell. The maelstrom of the Mephisto left the trace, to revel and feast in undelivered grace. |

9. | Absolute Sole Right | 06:24 | Show lyrics |
As cyclones detach from the world above, and all the other worlds beneath them flow. Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories, sought to strive in twilight mist and penal fire. As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! Death has a contract, on life and Hell in between. What was once not certain, is now foreseen. When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. A magisterial maintenance, of diabolic education. Where the opposite of innocence, paves the way for intelligence. Where pearls are chained, for each tragic event. The glorification, of deviance in progress! When the pendulum is in it’s reverse factor, rivers run red and skies turn black. Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within, conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss. As daylight suffers, night time recollects. For what wind hath drawn near. So near! The glorification, of deviance in progress! As cyclones detach from the world above, and all the other worlds beneath them flow. Timewinds caressing the dust of cold memories, sought to strive in twilight mist and penal fire. Liars in wait tries, to quench their thirst for more. Drowning victims of a parallel universe. The scum of the earth, a rejoice of fools. The world hates you, for being precise. |

10. | Sympozium | 05:12 | Show lyrics |
Chains of despair, cloaked by darkness. The thundering echoes, of great destruction to come. Mankind’s mysteries, the dying world. Madness in it’s sweetest form! What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth, and melancholy grew! Anticipation mender through madness. Condemned to the same horrid fate. Insanity applauds. How sharp the awakening, pale as disease! Mocking, maddening! Give up the ghost, cease the gloomy awakening. History foretold, the hidden stigmata. Totally annihilating, the ecstasies innumerable. Materialize the vision, give up the ghost. Cease the gloomy awakening! Madness in it’s sweetest form! What shrivels and dies, must face the tempest. The angelic Heaven bows, to the ultimate truth. And melancholy grew! |

Never shall the sun kiss my face And caress me with its burning light For I dwell in the shadows And sleep side by side with death In dark desire I embrace the whore Giving her an escape from an unworthy life For with the appearance of a fallen angel I serve darkness I am a prince among the damned As I’ve been for an eternity The monark in a dark paradise Cursed by life and the living Oh tremble not my immortal heart Trough you beat in the shadows of death Eternal life is the blessing And I shall rule for another thousand years |

Welcome to the abandoned land Come on in child, take my hand Here there’s no work or play Only one bill to pay There’s just five words to say As you go down, down, down You’re gonna burn in hell Oh, burn in hell You can’t believe all the things i’ve done wrong in my life Without even trying i’ve lived on the edge of a knife Well, i’ve played with fire, but i don’t want to get myself burned To thine own self be true, so i think that it’s time for a turn Before i burn in hell Oh, burn in hell Take a good look in your heart, tell me what do you see?

Aghast and tender, indulged in sin Embraced by loneliness, legions who grin I blunder into the realms of slumber I collide with the obscure And see the last fraction of light go by Plundering the sanity from the insane And providing appearances in black Carefully swept in decadent spheres But faces in this world always remain darkened In circles of dominance, emotional deeps unite Fiction and transcendence woven together In the essence of purity lies wisdom Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions What more do you need of proof Human hands conforming clooven hoofs For i know the secrets and lies behind all truths Knowlege is power and the power is mine It’s all mine So let the children come to me And share the limitless ways to infinity Escape death and disease And behold youth and vitality |

Aghast and tender, indulged in sin Embraced by loneliness, legions who grin I blunder into the realms of slumber I collide with the obscure And see the last fraction of light go by Plundering the sanity from the insane And providing appearances in black Carefully swept in decadent spheres But faces in this world always remain darkened In circles of dominance, emotional deeps unite Fiction and transcendence woven together In the essence of purity lies wisdom Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions What more do you need of proof Human hands conforming cloven hoofs For I know the secrets and lies behind all truths Knowledge is power and the power is mine It’s all mine So let the children come to me And share the limitless ways to infinity Escape death and disease And behold youth and vitality Oh, dreadful angel of mine Enrich me with the vastness of your being Rigid father, teach me how to comprehend I’ll commit myself to understand For I am the accomplice... |

Ride the vortex winds with the beast inside Cast down all memories from a past and future world The cynic icons and the cryptic writings As a picturesque creation in force and spirit Against their reason and will, it is time Give darkness it’s passion plea The venomous tongue The inevitable poison Paralyze the angels Freeze the forgiven Baptize in fire Unleash the devil at heart Unleash the maelstrom mephisto [chorus:] So sinner, mourn well Make all the swans suffer in hell The maelstrom of the mephisto left the trace To revel and feast in undelivered grace Pledged to judgmental arrogance in Drawn principles of ignorant falsehood To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself A tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep In the dimness surrounding the towers of the castle Where the ravens spread their wings out wide Dwell in depths of the darker self at any shore of infinity And watch the relentless paint the soil black What is being formed echoes throughout eternity As the painter chooses color no more Hold your shadows close when the comedy is over As the days of mourning seem to be the days of joy Fragments fell from the sky in order to penetrate the eyes A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies:lies |

Gjennom tideløse morkne drømmer I fuktig høstvind ober landstrakte vidder Mot Sorias fjellheim Kommer jeg, en fandens ridder Glatt er runen på det høye fjell Gnidd vekk av regn og vind Dragende kraft av ondskap lurer Her ved trollheims muldne grind Fortumlet av dette mørke byggverk Med røvet gull fra lyets pakt Brukt som spott til å senke Deres murer Vi grunder over dette riket Så vakkert fylt med tideløs skumring Som en stjerne i tomsindighetens juv Det bringer frem en nattlig mimring Over tanker fra en vissen tid Drott til himmels er det reist Av tidens endeløse svarte minner Stormblåst ut av det sorte indre Har bergflint rullet fra mo til kneist Undring og angst samler seg i natten I mørket som ruver om spiret For ingen dag kan veien hit Intet lys kan luske frem Der sorg har beseiret alle gleder Og bygd et land på menneskets jord Fylt med isklad prakt og heder |

With hearts of midnight, brightened by his infernal light We stand as a monolith of wrath, united under the goath of a thousand young Two horns thrust upwards in defiance, three inverted as the trinity denied A phalanx of mourners in black, falling towards nightly terror Unleash the temted beast, raised your horns in pridefull blasphemy I’ll be your guide into the glourious darrkness, and enchant you like a taste of sin Unleash the temted beast, chant theron in words of blazing scorn Grant me my dark desires, strengthened through the power of satan Take plesure in the torment of the wretched And rejoice in the delight of the flesh Behold the face of satan And walk the fields of erotic fire Hunt the heavens... Godless temted beckon Through gleaming scapes of horrid nightmare Gathered between symbols and signs A glow of new light is born out of the night Give into your lust and carnal desires - in twisted blood-dripping ecstasy In the name of satan - I lead you into temptation |

In massing darkness we stand united Raging above inferior sheeps A convoy of souls swept into the night Hearts strengthened with black fire passion In us is fulfilled the prophecy of satan Evolution of the inner shrine In us is mantained the revelation of satan Innocence brought to an end In honour of thy unearthly creation We bring forth thy divine form Vanity throughout any conceptions Blazed and bound for the days are coming Infernal madness,unholy ascendance Christian death abound in mouring perversion Cherished sacred icons torn to pieces They’ll chase the serpent in everlasting nightmare Disharmonic illusions of strings bending loose Wrapped,penetrating skin Listen to the music of their agony Eyes made of glass,mirrors within |

1. | Allegiance | 05:50 | Show lyrics |
Cuddled through a cold womb he was, pitch black and without sunshine rays. Hell patiently awaiting him on blood spilled soil, a noble grief stirred heart always ready to die. In sinister systematisation submission is golden as an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed. He was like an object that is being processed, a force-fed destructor ready for abomination. The vast solitude in him witnessed it all, those self afflicting eyes and their fear painted faces. Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable. Hosts to oblivion exploring the darkest of places, stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck. Every day seemed like an endless night, when would he ever wake from this void? No other voice than his own will ever tell what was real and where he had been, what he had done. Did you bleed for the cause like the rest of his men, did you capture the euphoria? How it was like to kill such a necromantic force behind it all. They sure did battle till the end! But when came all the glory and who got spared to carry his body just pure death and too profound to be shared. Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory to serve the wastelands of insanity at the front. Life forever lost its innocence, never to see the light of day again. He pondered his last few steps into the realms of death with his hands bloodstained. Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? |

2. | Progenies of the Great Apocalypse | 05:17 | Show lyrics |
The battle raged on and on, fuelled by the venom of hatred for man. Consistently without the eyes to see by those who revel in sewer equally. We the prosperity of the future seal, cloaked by the thunders of the north wind. Born to capture the essence of the trails of our kind. Zero tolerance must be issued forth behind the enemy’s line. So it shall be written and so it shall be done. Zero tolerance must be issued forth behind the enemy’s line. So it shall be written and so it shall be done. The battle raged on and on, fuelled by the venom of hatred for man. Consistently without the eyes to see by those who revel in sewer equally. We the prosperity of the future seal, cloaked by the thunders of the north wind. Born to capture the essence of the trails of our kind. Discover and conceive the secret wealth and pass it unto your breed. Become your own congregation, measure the sovereignty of its invigoration. We who not deny the animal of our nature, we who yearn to preserve our liberation, we who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire, we who aspire to the truth and pursue its strength. Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare, fearing all the mediocrity that they possess? Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might, reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours? Consider the God we could be without the grace once and for all? Diminish the sub principle and leave its toxic trace once and for all? |

3. | Lepers Among Us | 04:44 | Show lyrics |
The commotion breeding the perverse for bloodbath is on your doorstep. A mass impending threat, the perfection of religion becoming our death. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay. Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here. End the road here! No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. Prove failure of faith! Enriched by the presence of its clarity darkness descends, everyone dies. No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. For wisdom aligns in our favor, illuminated before our eyes. Uncover a new beginning, the inevitable dawn, justice will be given where justice is due, and guide the righteous ones ack to the final resting ground to perceive the truly hellbound. Demonstrate superiority, a grand gesture of liberation need no judge or jury. Demons rate inferiority, scatter the remains of the prey. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay. Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here. Uncover a new beginning, the inevitable dawn, justice will be given where justice is due, and guide the righteous ones ack to the final resting ground to perceive the truly hellbound. |

Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. For den tro du besitter er intet annet enn avsmak og hovmod og din nøden etter viten er en overflod av hån og skjend, smerten i mitt hjerte er ikke tørste etter himmelsk legeme. Ei er det sviktende søken etter englemakt det er ilden og den brenner det er bare det at do skjemmer for den. Ta del i skyldens skygge behag din sjel med syndens under for hvor er vel do når lampen slukkes. Men døden kommer ei med vårt bud gjenklang fra den prektiges arv vil innfri det endelige forderv. Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. Bring dom over andre en ditt eget hode der do gjemmer din skam i lovsang så skal do få smake frukten av din egen bortgang. Som en flokk av helveds opphav og forvaltere av foraktens sønn parerer vi deres list med avskyens prakt med. Beviset på vår tunge byrde ligger deres sinn i åndenød skamfert tilbake uten makt. Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. |

5. | For the World to Dictate Our Death | 04:46 | Show lyrics |
Let us sit back and watch death and destruction’s devotees revel, let us sit back and witness innocent semen being poured. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. Reason faithfully defiles on bloodstained hands where graceful motion are lost arts. There are only battles to be lost in the kingdoms of the blind. For those who seek salvation in the dust of the earth will only find wrath in the sands of time. Engulfed by the desert we taste death in the dry heat. Disciples of prophetic ablution had sworn to let the skeptics bleed for great are their love for warfare, henchmen of the disastrous creed. Henchmen of the disastrous creed! Watch us all celebrate in their name, the lambs of our time being slain, awaiting the final perdition Awaiting the final perdition! Defeat against all and everything for whatever adorned righteousness, justice never wait for the guilty to speak the truth. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. For mankind so hated the world that it gave all it’s begotten sons and daughters that whoever believed the lie to perish and receive everlasting Hell. |

6. | Blood Hunger Doctrine | 04:39 | Show lyrics |
Man and his faithful ethics intoxicated by the fruits of the earth. Diabolical fanatikism, so cold and grim, the perfect perversion, bestiality incarnate. As instruments of torture and leaving no room for sympathy We bring forth the monstrous birth to the worlds light. As all great art is made from suffering and so are we. Good in nature but evil by our own free will. Incestuously created by the will to kill, time is here to walk the final abyss march bound to the force of the last holocaust. Pour free the gifts of grace and slaughter the entire human race. Not permitted to redemption when pain rises high in purgatory. A reality so convincingly justified feeding from Death Cult’s gown. We bring forth monstrous birth to the worlds light. |

7. | Allehelgens død i Helveds rike | 05:35 | Show lyrics |
Uren er aktens utfoldelse og tanke uten hemning i ukjent ekstase, ei et tilbørlig ønske om å avle avkom for Gud frivillig nedsmittet og gjennomsyret i kjødelig sødme fengslet av logn og ulydighet. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Visdom berikes fritt i dyrets mangfold når himmerikets salige urett og svulstige barmhjertighet vekker forkastelse ved vårt åsyn. Gnisten har slått flamme og piner i pestilensens vilje. De ynkelige slaver knelende i skam, besvangret med skyld og miskunn. Ætlinger som sverger eden med troskapsløfte om å ugjøre freden a styrte himmelslavers velvære og triumfere i kulde til Dyrets ære. Vredens beger renner over I forherdelse fra opprør djevlers svovelvind glødende, fra regionen av Belial’s barn avlet hinsides harmens trossende tind. De siste tegn fra Kristi tapende engler brenner ubønnhørlig i ravnens ild. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Smertefull og blek er døden med blodstyrtning fra lysets gild. Dødens fremmøte sparer ingen det fromme liv kveles av egne tunger. Den kosteligste jord blir pyntet med fattigdom og hunger. Utspente vinger over mørkets dype svelg satt til verden for å meske seg med pest og død fråtsende i synd og hor. Overmakten fra polens bastarder nærer behag i syndens hierarki et evig liv i paradis er fullkommenhet i Satans dynasti. |

Are you born from the abyss and have you sought the creed that draped the shadows of your own thoughts? Is your heart mesmerized by the fire that burns forevermore and do the secrets from the flames hold the mysteries over which you preside? Reveal the infantile wound and regain strength, free your spirit from those who lead in praise. Recollect the anger and the hate for not shall your morals dissolve in pity. Righteous warmth accompanied by deceitful tongues. Stay away from processed promises, let them fear what you know. Let them fear what you know! A malicious smile on their lips to keep us all under control, now it’s time to rise and demand our due. The whores and their illusions left us bitter and cold. Drench them in their own poison, spit back the scorn of their ways. Out win their defect morality and the words they pray, consolidate the troops and expose the lies in their eyes. The ones deprived from the ecstasy that binds the neglect. Better lead than being led, earn any victory. For you stand superior above the plague and it’s mass, the burden of proof rests on your shoulders. Are you born from the abyss and have you sought the creed that draped the shadows of your own thoughts? Is your heart mesmerized by the fire that burns forevermore and do the secrets from the flames hold the mysteries over which you preside? |

9. | Eradication Instincts Defined | 07:12 | Show lyrics |
As mortal manufactured waste and part of the commonly infected, you prevent the ones worthy the gift of life to surface on once a prosperous soil. As superficially bewildered whores and succumbing to fictional truth, you are taught to preserve and profit the life institutional lie. You are taught to preserve and profit the life institutional lie. You worthless piece of shit may we all depart from this world and dissolve into nothingness, compassion will not be granted when life’s value is point below zero. Human depravity is at our disposal as the perfect tool to destroy mankind, the worst kind of them all. Modern times’ ignorance, the world disease. Appeal to death of every man, a living hate smoldering abyss. Nurtured through centuries with quietly exercised wrath seeks the easiest way to the feed the engine, praising the final bloodbath. Uncertainty and guilt will no longer endorse our fate. There will be no remorse, we kill to kill again, killing all. Go ahead, end it all, we deserve no better as a forever unblessed detonation. The great plutonium chord fulminates blinding the eyes of creation. Cutting off all life support sweeping away existence instantly Iced desolate ruins linger, leaving traces of our lovely humanity. As mortal manufactured waste and part of the commonly infected, you prevent the ones worthy the gift of life to surface on once a prosperous soil. Uncertainty and guilt will no longer endorse our fate. There will be no remorse, we kill to kill again, killing all. |

10. | Unorthodox Manifesto | 08:50 | Show lyrics |
The memories far beyond the reckoning have begun to lurk in the distance like visual objects dearly known, the grace of the Devils hands. As they walk with me like a medium when I choose and require a burn-out. Resting in expanded malicious force, drained for murderous weapons. Knowing where you stand in this magnitude of this thought. Looking at the spirit of fire and flames, enduring on the throne of the black heart. The memories far beyond the reckoning have begun to lurk in the distance like visual objects dearly known, the grace of the Devils hands. As they walk with me like a medium when I choose and require a burn-out. Resting in expanded malicious force, drained for murderous weapons. Knowing where you stand in this magnitude of this thought. Looking at the spirit of fire and flames, enduring on the throne of the black heart. Knowing where you stand in this magnitude of this thought! A bringer of evil I am, and therefore also a carrier of light as I use this focus through the dark and face the sunshine in the dead end. Limitations do not exist when you are ahead of the crowd, with the art of confidence I reign at the throne of my soul. The value of this darkness unwinds, travelling the other path. A hidden triumph but obvious to the strong and wise. By understanding this reality I remain in a twice-coloured cloud with feet connected solid in the ground, and thus I get peace of mind. And thus I get peace of mind! A bringer of evil I am, and also a carrier of light as I use this focus through the dark and face the sunshine in the dead end... |

11. | Heavenly Perverse | 06:32 | Show lyrics |
Devoted to your own opiate in escapades from discontentment. Are you shutting off from the outside world to reflect on your mind shallow gutter? For this is your empire, this is your intrigue. Here you own them all, here you seal the deed. Contaminated from the spree of self salvation to keep the fever flowing in the veins, prominently manipulating Heaven and Hell. Does your sophistically discreet interlude maintain stories not to be revealed? In your search for redemption greed and lies become the savior. Through the lecherous eyes disgust withstand for are not these the windows to your soul? Fatherly fornication of sweat lips in dismay repeatedly unlocking the vaults to the holocaust. The dormant prodigy seeks its reason for rebirth but it will never, never gain the strength. A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Sacramental suicide amidst the flow of virgin vine. The only way to comfort the defeat! A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Regrets can no longer find it’s ways, streams of innocent bitter tears flowing down the drain, mirrored in the haze of a partaker’s eyes. |

Cuddled through a cold womb he was, pitch black and without sunshine rays. Hell patiently awaiting him on blood spilled soil, a noble grief stirred heart always ready to die. In sinister systematisation submission is golden as an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed. He was like an object that is being processed, a force-fed destructor ready for abomination. The vast solitude in him witnessed it all, those self afflicting eyes and their fear painted faces. Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable. Hosts to oblivion exploring the darkest of places, stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck. Every day seemed like an endless night, when would he ever wake from this void? No other voice than his own will ever tell what was real and where he had been, what he had done. Did you bleed for the cause like the rest of his men, did you capture the euphoria? How it was like to kill such a necromantic force behind it all. They sure did battle till the end! But when came all the glory and who got spared to carry his body just pure death and too profound to be shared. Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory to serve the wastelands of insanity at the front. Life forever lost its innocence, never to see the light of day again. He pondered his last few steps into the realms of death with his hands bloodstained. Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? |

The battle raged on and on, fuelled by the venom of hatred for man. Consistently without the eyes to see by those who revel in sewer equally. We the prosperity of the future seal, cloaked by the thunders of the north wind. Born to capture the essence of the trails of our kind. Zero tolerance must be issued forth behind the enemy’s line. So it shall be written and so it shall be done. Zero tolerance must be issued forth behind the enemy’s line. So it shall be written and so it shall be done.

Discover and conceive the secret wealth and pass it unto your breed. Become your own congregation, measure the sovereignty of its invigoration. We who not deny the animal of our nature, we who yearn to preserve our liberation, we who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire, we who aspire to the truth and pursue its strength. Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare, fearing all the mediocrity that they possess? Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might, reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours? Consider the God we could be without the grace once and for all? Diminish the sub principle and leave its toxic trace once and for all? |

The commotion breeding the perverse for bloodbath is on your doorstep. A mass impending threat, the perfection of religion becoming our death. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay. Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here. End the road here! No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. Prove failure of faith! Enriched by the presence of its clarity darkness descends, everyone dies. No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. For wisdom aligns in our favor, illuminated before our eyes. Uncover a new beginning, the inevitable dawn, justice will be given where justice is due, and guide the righteous ones ack to the final resting ground to perceive the truly hellbound. Demonstrate superiority, a grand gesture of liberation need no judge or jury. Demons rate inferiority, scatter the remains of the prey. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay. Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here. Uncover a new beginning, the inevitable dawn, justice will be given where justice is due, and guide the righteous ones ack to the final resting ground to perceive the truly hellbound. |

Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. For den tro du besitter er intet annet enn avsmak og hovmod og din nøden etter viten er en overflod av hån og skjend, smerten i mitt hjerte er ikke tørste etter himmelsk legeme. Ei er det sviktende søken etter englemakt det er ilden og den brenner det er bare det at do skjemmer for den. Ta del i skyldens skygge behag din sjel med syndens under for hvor er vel do når lampen slukkes. Men døden kommer ei med vårt bud gjenklang fra den prektiges arv vil innfri det endelige forderv. Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. Bring dom over andre en ditt eget hode der do gjemmer din skam i lovsang så skal do få smake frukten av din egen bortgang. Som en flokk av helveds opphav og forvaltere av foraktens sønn parerer vi deres list med avskyens prakt med. Beviset på vår tunge byrde ligger deres sinn i åndenød skamfert tilbake uten makt. Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. |

Let us sit back and watch death and destruction’s devotees revel, let us sit back and witness innocent semen being poured. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. Reason faithfully defiles on bloodstained hands where graceful motion are lost arts. There are only battles to be lost in the kingdoms of the blind. For those who seek salvation in the dust of the earth will only find wrath in the sands of time. Engulfed by the desert we taste death in the dry heat. Disciples of prophetic ablution had sworn to let the skeptics bleed for great are their love for warfare, henchmen of the disastrous creed. Henchmen of the disastrous creed! Watch us all celebrate in their name, the lambs of our time being slain, awaiting the final perdition Awaiting the final perdition! Defeat against all and everything for whatever adorned righteousness, justice never wait for the guilty to speak the truth. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. For mankind so hated the world that it gave all it’s begotten sons and daughters that whoever believed the lie to perish and receive everlasting Hell. |

Man and his faithful ethics intoxicated by the fruits of the earth. Diabolical fanatikism, so cold and grim, the perfect perversion, bestiality incarnate. As instruments of torture and leaving no room for sympathy We bring forth the monstrous birth to the worlds light. As all great art is made from suffering and so are we. Good in nature but evil by our own free will. Incestuously created by the will to kill, time is here to walk the final abyss march bound to the force of the last holocaust. Pour free the gifts of grace and slaughter the entire human race. Not permitted to redemption when pain rises high in purgatory. A reality so convincingly justified feeding from Death Cult’s gown. We bring forth monstrous birth to the worlds light. |

Uren er aktens utfoldelse og tanke uten hemning i ukjent ekstase, ei et tilbørlig ønske om å avle avkom for Gud frivillig nedsmittet og gjennomsyret i kjødelig sødme fengslet av logn og ulydighet. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Visdom berikes fritt i dyrets mangfold når himmerikets salige urett og svulstige barmhjertighet vekker forkastelse ved vårt åsyn. Gnisten har slått flamme og piner i pestilensens vilje. De ynkelige slaver knelende i skam, besvangret med skyld og miskunn. Ætlinger som sverger eden med troskapsløfte om å ugjøre freden a styrte himmelslavers velvære og triumfere i kulde til Dyrets ære. Vredens beger renner over I forherdelse fra opprør djevlers svovelvind glødende, fra regionen av Belial’s barn avlet hinsides harmens trossende tind. De siste tegn fra Kristi tapende engler brenner ubønnhørlig i ravnens ild. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Smertefull og blek er døden med blodstyrtning fra lysets gild. Dødens fremmøte sparer ingen det fromme liv kveles av egne tunger. Den kosteligste jord blir pyntet med fattigdom og hunger. Utspente vinger over mørkets dype svelg satt til verden for å meske seg med pest og død fråtsende i synd og hor. Overmakten fra polens bastarder nærer behag i syndens hierarki et evig liv i paradis er fullkommenhet i Satans dynasti. |

Devoted to your own opiate in escapades from discontentment. Are you shutting off from the outside world to reflect on your mind shallow gutter? For this is your empire, this is your intrigue. Here you own them all, here you seal the deed. Contaminated from the spree of self salvation to keep the fever flowing in the veins, prominently manipulating Heaven and Hell. Does your sophistically discreet interlude maintain stories not to be revealed? In your search for redemption greed and lies become the savior. Through the lecherous eyes disgust withstand for are not these the windows to your soul? Fatherly fornication of sweat lips in dismay repeatedly unlocking the vaults to the holocaust. The dormant prodigy seeks its reason for rebirth but it will never, never gain the strength. A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Sacramental suicide amidst the flow of virgin vine. The only way to comfort the defeat! A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Regrets can no longer find it’s ways, streams of innocent bitter tears flowing down the drain, mirrored in the haze of a partaker’s eyes. |

Cuddled through a cold womb he was, pitch black and without sunshine rays. Hell patiently awaiting him on blood spilled soil, a noble grief stirred heart always ready to die. In sinister systematisation submission is golden as an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed. He was like an object that is being processed, a force-fed destructor ready for abomination. The vast solitude in him witnessed it all, those self afflicting eyes and their fear painted faces. Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable. Hosts to oblivion exploring the darkest of places, stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck. Every day seemed like an endless night, when would he ever wake from this void? No other voice than his own will ever tell what was real and where he had been, what he had done. Did you bleed for the cause like the rest of his men, did you capture the euphoria? How it was like to kill such a necromantic force behind it all. They sure did battle till the end! But when came all the glory and who got spared to carry his body just pure death and too profound to be shared. Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory to serve the wastelands of insanity at the front. Life forever lost its innocence, never to see the light of day again. He pondered his last few steps into the realms of death with his hands bloodstained. Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? |

The memories far beyond the reckoning have begun to lurk in the distance like visual objects dearly known, the grace of the Devils hands. As they walk with me like a medium when I choose and require a burn-out. Resting in expanded malicious force, drained for murderous weapons. Knowing where you stand in this magnitude of this thought. Looking at the spirit of fire and flames, enduring on the throne of the black heart. The memories far beyond the reckoning have begun to lurk in the distance like visual objects dearly known, the grace of the Devils hands. As they walk with me like a medium when I choose and require a burn-out. Resting in expanded malicious force, drained for murderous weapons. Knowing where you stand in this magnitude of this thought. Looking at the spirit of fire and flames, enduring on the throne of the black heart. Knowing where you stand in this magnitude of this thought! A bringer of evil I am, and therefore also a carrier of light as I use this focus through the dark and face the sunshine in the dead end. Limitations do not exist when you are ahead of the crowd, with the art of confidence I reign at the throne of my soul. The value of this darkness unwinds, travelling the other path. A hidden triumph but obvious to the strong and wise. By understanding this reality I remain in a twice-coloured cloud with feet connected solid in the ground, and thus I get peace of mind. And thus I get peace of mind! A bringer of evil I am, and also a carrier of light as I use this focus through the dark and face the sunshine in the dead end... |

Devoted to your own opiate in escapades from discontentment. Are you shutting off from the outside world to reflect on your mind shallow gutter? For this is your empire, this is your intrigue. Here you own them all, here you seal the deed. Contaminated from the spree of self salvation to keep the fever flowing in the veins, prominently manipulating Heaven and Hell. Does your sophistically discreet interlude maintain stories not to be revealed? In your search for redemption greed and lies become the savior. Through the lecherous eyes disgust withstand for are not these the windows to your soul? Fatherly fornication of sweat lips in dismay repeatedly unlocking the vaults to the holocaust. The dormant prodigy seeks its reason for rebirth but it will never, never gain the strength. A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Sacramental suicide amidst the flow of virgin vine. The only way to comfort the defeat! A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Regrets can no longer find it’s ways, streams of innocent bitter tears flowing down the drain, mirrored in the haze of a partaker’s eyes. |

Cuddled through a cold womb he was, pitch black and without sunshine rays. Hell patiently awaiting him on blood spilled soil, a noble grief stirred heart always ready to die. In sinister systematisation submission is golden as an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed. He was like an object that is being processed, a force-fed destructor ready for abomination. The vast solitude in him witnessed it all, those self afflicting eyes and their fear painted faces. Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable. Hosts to oblivion exploring the darkest of places, stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck. Every day seemed like an endless night, when would he ever wake from this void? No other voice than his own will ever tell what was real and where he had been, what he had done. Did you bleed for the cause like the rest of his men, did you capture the euphoria? How it was like to kill such a necromantic force behind it all. They sure did battle till the end! But when came all the glory and who got spared to carry his body just pure death and too profound to be shared. Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory to serve the wastelands of insanity at the front. Life forever lost its innocence, never to see the light of day again. He pondered his last few steps into the realms of death with his hands bloodstained. Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth?

Righteous warmth accompanied by deceitful tongues. Stay away from processed promises, let them fear what you know. Let them fear what you know! A malicious smile on their lips to keep us all under control, now it’s time to rise and demand our due. The whores and their illusions left us bitter and cold. Drench them in their own poison, spit back the scorn of their ways. Out win their defect morality and the words they pray, consolidate the troops and expose the lies in their eyes. The ones deprived from the ecstasy that binds the neglect. Better lead than being led, earn any victory.

As superficially bewildered whores and succumbing to fictional truth, you are taught to preserve and profit the life institutional lie. You are taught to preserve and profit the life institutional lie. You worthless piece of shit may we all depart from this world and dissolve into nothingness, compassion will not be granted when life’s value is point below zero. Human depravity is at our disposal as the perfect tool to destroy mankind, the worst kind of them all. Modern times’ ignorance, the world disease. Appeal to death of every man, a living hate smoldering abyss. Nurtured through centuries with quietly exercised wrath seeks the easiest way to the feed the engine, praising the final bloodbath. Uncertainty and guilt will no longer endorse our fate. There will be no remorse, we kill to kill again, killing all. Go ahead, end it all, we deserve no better as a forever unblessed detonation. The great plutonium chord fulminates blinding the eyes of creation. Cutting off all life support sweeping away existence instantly Iced desolate ruins linger, leaving traces of our lovely humanity. As mortal manufactured waste and part of the commonly infected, you prevent the ones worthy the gift of life to surface on once a prosperous soil. Uncertainty and guilt will no longer endorse our fate. There will be no remorse, we kill to kill again, killing all. |

Cuddled through a cold womb he was, pitch black and without sunshine rays. Hell patiently awaiting him on blood spilled soil, a noble grief stirred heart always ready to die. In sinister systematisation submission is golden as an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed. He was like an object that is being processed, a force-fed destructor ready for abomination. The vast solitude in him witnessed it all, those self afflicting eyes and their fear painted faces. Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable. Hosts to oblivion exploring the darkest of places, stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck. Every day seemed like an endless night, when would he ever wake from this void? No other voice than his own will ever tell what was real and where he had been, what he had done. Did you bleed for the cause like the rest of his men, did you capture the euphoria? How it was like to kill such a necromantic force behind it all. They sure did battle till the end! But when came all the glory and who got spared to carry his body just pure death and too profound to be shared. Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory to serve the wastelands of insanity at the front. Life forever lost its innocence, never to see the light of day again. He pondered his last few steps into the realms of death with his hands bloodstained. Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth?

Uren er aktens utfoldelse og tanke uten hemning i ukjent ekstase, ei et tilbørlig ønske om å avle avkom for Gud frivillig nedsmittet og gjennomsyret i kjødelig sødme fengslet av logn og ulydighet. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Visdom berikes fritt i dyrets mangfold når himmerikets salige urett og svulstige barmhjertighet vekker forkastelse ved vårt åsyn. Gnisten har slått flamme og piner i pestilensens vilje. De ynkelige slaver knelende i skam, besvangret med skyld og miskunn. Ætlinger som sverger eden med troskapsløfte om å ugjøre freden a styrte himmelslavers velvære og triumfere i kulde til Dyrets ære. Vredens beger renner over I forherdelse fra opprør djevlers svovelvind glødende, fra regionen av Belial’s barn avlet hinsides harmens trossende tind. De siste tegn fra Kristi tapende engler brenner ubønnhørlig i ravnens ild. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Smertefull og blek er døden med blodstyrtning fra lysets gild. Dødens fremmøte sparer ingen det fromme liv kveles av egne tunger. Den kosteligste jord blir pyntet med fattigdom og hunger. Utspente vinger over mørkets dype svelg satt til verden for å meske seg med pest og død fråtsende i synd og hor. Overmakten fra polens bastarder nærer behag i syndens hierarki et evig liv i paradis er fullkommenhet i Satans dynasti. |

Uren er aktens utfoldelse og tanke uten hemning i ukjent ekstase, ei et tilbørlig ønske om å avle avkom for Gud frivillig nedsmittet og gjennomsyret i kjødelig sødme fengslet av logn og ulydighet. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Visdom berikes fritt i dyrets mangfold når himmerikets salige urett og svulstige barmhjertighet vekker forkastelse ved vårt åsyn. Gnisten har slått flamme og piner i pestilensens vilje. De ynkelige slaver knelende i skam, besvangret med skyld og miskunn. Ætlinger som sverger eden med troskapsløfte om å ugjøre freden a styrte himmelslavers velvære og triumfere i kulde til Dyrets ære. Vredens beger renner over I forherdelse fra opprør djevlers svovelvind glødende, fra regionen av Belial’s barn avlet hinsides harmens trossende tind. De siste tegn fra Kristi tapende engler brenner ubønnhørlig i ravnens ild. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Smertefull og blek er døden med blodstyrtning fra lysets gild. Dødens fremmøte sparer ingen det fromme liv kveles av egne tunger. Den kosteligste jord blir pyntet med fattigdom og hunger. Utspente vinger over mørkets dype svelg satt til verden for å meske seg med pest og død fråtsende i synd og hor. Overmakten fra polens bastarder nærer behag i syndens hierarki et evig liv i paradis er fullkommenhet i Satans dynasti. |

Devoted to your own opiate in escapades from discontentment. Are you shutting off from the outside world to reflect on your mind shallow gutter? For this is your empire, this is your intrigue. Here you own them all, here you seal the deed. Contaminated from the spree of self salvation to keep the fever flowing in the veins, prominently manipulating Heaven and Hell. Does your sophistically discreet interlude maintain stories not to be revealed? In your search for redemption greed and lies become the savior. Through the lecherous eyes disgust withstand for are not these the windows to your soul? Fatherly fornication of sweat lips in dismay repeatedly unlocking the vaults to the holocaust. The dormant prodigy seeks its reason for rebirth but it will never, never gain the strength. A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Sacramental suicide amidst the flow of virgin vine. The only way to comfort the defeat! A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Regrets can no longer find it’s ways, streams of innocent bitter tears flowing down the drain, mirrored in the haze of a partaker’s eyes. |

In sinister systematisation submission is golden as an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed. He was like an object that is being processed, a force-fed destructor ready for abomination. The vast solitude in him witnessed it all, those self afflicting eyes and their fear painted faces. Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable. Hosts to oblivion exploring the darkest of places, stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck. Every day seemed like an endless night, when would he ever wake from this void? No other voice than his own will ever tell what was real and where he had been, what he had done. Did you bleed for the cause like the rest of his men, did you capture the euphoria? How it was like to kill such a necromantic force behind it all. They sure did battle till the end! But when came all the glory and who got spared to carry his body just pure death and too profound to be shared. Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory to serve the wastelands of insanity at the front. Life forever lost its innocence, never to see the light of day again. He pondered his last few steps into the realms of death with his hands bloodstained. Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth?

Let us sit back and watch death and destruction’s devotees revel, let us sit back and witness innocent semen being poured. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. Reason faithfully defiles on bloodstained hands where graceful motion are lost arts. There are only battles to be lost in the kingdoms of the blind. For those who seek salvation in the dust of the earth will only find wrath in the sands of time. Engulfed by the desert we taste death in the dry heat. Disciples of prophetic ablution had sworn to let the skeptics bleed for great are their love for warfare, henchmen of the disastrous creed. Henchmen of the disastrous creed! Watch us all celebrate in their name, the lambs of our time being slain, awaiting the final perdition Awaiting the final perdition! Defeat against all and everything for whatever adorned righteousness, justice never wait for the guilty to speak the truth. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. For mankind so hated the world that it gave all it’s begotten sons and daughters that whoever believed the lie to perish and receive everlasting Hell. |

Man and his faithful ethics intoxicated by the fruits of the earth. Diabolical fanatikism, so cold and grim, the perfect perversion, bestiality incarnate. As instruments of torture and leaving no room for sympathy We bring forth the monstrous birth to the worlds light. As all great art is made from suffering and so are we. Good in nature but evil by our own free will. Incestuously created by the will to kill, time is here to walk the final abyss march bound to the force of the last holocaust. Pour free the gifts of grace and slaughter the entire human race. Not permitted to redemption when pain rises high in purgatory. A reality so convincingly justified feeding from Death Cult’s gown. We bring forth monstrous birth to the worlds light. |

Let us sit back and watch death and destruction’s devotees revel, let us sit back and witness innocent semen being poured. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. Reason faithfully defiles on bloodstained hands where graceful motion are lost arts. There are only battles to be lost in the kingdoms of the blind. For those who seek salvation in the dust of the earth will only find wrath in the sands of time. Engulfed by the desert we taste death in the dry heat. Disciples of prophetic ablution had sworn to let the skeptics bleed for great are their love for warfare, henchmen of the disastrous creed. Henchmen of the disastrous creed! Watch us all celebrate in their name, the lambs of our time being slain, awaiting the final perdition Awaiting the final perdition! Defeat against all and everything for whatever adorned righteousness, justice never wait for the guilty to speak the truth. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. For mankind so hated the world that it gave all it’s begotten sons and daughters that whoever believed the lie to perish and receive everlasting Hell. |

Man and his faithful ethics intoxicated by the fruits of the earth. Diabolical fanatikism, so cold and grim, the perfect perversion, bestiality incarnate. As instruments of torture and leaving no room for sympathy We bring forth the monstrous birth to the worlds light. As all great art is made from suffering and so are we. Good in nature but evil by our own free will. Incestuously created by the will to kill, time is here to walk the final abyss march bound to the force of the last holocaust. Pour free the gifts of grace and slaughter the entire human race. Not permitted to redemption when pain rises high in purgatory. A reality so convincingly justified feeding from Death Cult’s gown. We bring forth monstrous birth to the worlds light. |

Uren er aktens utfoldelse og tanke uten hemning i ukjent ekstase, ei et tilbørlig ønske om å avle avkom for Gud frivillig nedsmittet og gjennomsyret i kjødelig sødme fengslet av logn og ulydighet. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten.

Cuddled through a cold womb he was, pitch black and without sunshine rays. Hell patiently awaiting him on blood spilled soil, a noble grief stirred heart always ready to die. In sinister systematisation submission is golden as an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed. He was like an object that is being processed, a force-fed destructor ready for abomination. The vast solitude in him witnessed it all, those self afflicting eyes and their fear painted faces. Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable. Hosts to oblivion exploring the darkest of places, stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck. Every day seemed like an endless night, when would he ever wake from this void? No other voice than his own will ever tell what was real and where he had been, what he had done. Did you bleed for the cause like the rest of his men, did you capture the euphoria? How it was like to kill such a necromantic force behind it all. They sure did battle till the end! But when came all the glory and who got spared to carry his body just pure death and too profound to be shared. Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory to serve the wastelands of insanity at the front. Life forever lost its innocence, never to see the light of day again. He pondered his last few steps into the realms of death with his hands bloodstained. Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth?

The commotion breeding the perverse for bloodbath is on your doorstep. A mass impending threat, the perfection of religion becoming our death. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay. Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here. End the road here! No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. Prove failure of faith! Enriched by the presence of its clarity darkness descends, everyone dies. No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. For wisdom aligns in our favor, illuminated before our eyes. Uncover a new beginning, the inevitable dawn, justice will be given where justice is due, and guide the righteous ones ack to the final resting ground to perceive the truly hellbound. Demonstrate superiority, a grand gesture of liberation need no judge or jury. Demons rate inferiority, scatter the remains of the prey. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay. Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here. Uncover a new beginning, the inevitable dawn, justice will be given where justice is due, and guide the righteous ones ack to the final resting ground to perceive the truly hellbound. |

As instruments of torture and leaving no room for sympathy We bring forth the monstrous birth to the worlds light. As all great art is made from suffering and so are we. Good in nature but evil by our own free will. Incestuously created by the will to kill, time is here to walk the final abyss march bound to the force of the last holocaust. Pour free the gifts of grace and slaughter the entire human race. Not permitted to redemption when pain rises high in purgatory. A reality so convincingly justified feeding from Death Cult’s gown.

Cuddled through a cold womb he was, pitch black and without sunshine rays. Hell patiently awaiting him on blood spilled soil, a noble grief stirred heart always ready to die. In sinister systematisation submission is golden as an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed. He was like an object that is being processed, a force-fed destructor ready for abomination. The vast solitude in him witnessed it all, those self afflicting eyes and their fear painted faces. Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable. Hosts to oblivion exploring the darkest of places, stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck. Every day seemed like an endless night, when would he ever wake from this void? No other voice than his own will ever tell what was real and where he had been, what he had done. Did you bleed for the cause like the rest of his men, did you capture the euphoria? How it was like to kill such a necromantic force behind it all. They sure did battle till the end! But when came all the glory and who got spared to carry his body just pure death and too profound to be shared. Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory to serve the wastelands of insanity at the front. Life forever lost its innocence, never to see the light of day again. He pondered his last few steps into the realms of death with his hands bloodstained. Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? |

The battle raged on and on, fuelled by the venom of hatred for man. Consistently without the eyes to see by those who revel in sewer equally. We the prosperity of the future seal, cloaked by the thunders of the north wind. Born to capture the essence of the trails of our kind. Zero tolerance must be issued forth behind the enemy’s line. So it shall be written and so it shall be done. Zero tolerance must be issued forth behind the enemy’s line. So it shall be written and so it shall be done. The battle raged on and on, fuelled by the venom of hatred for man. Consistently without the eyes to see by those who revel in sewer equally. We the prosperity of the future seal, cloaked by the thunders of the north wind. Born to capture the essence of the trails of our kind. Discover and conceive the secret wealth and pass it unto your breed. Become your own congregation, measure the sovereignty of its invigoration. We who not deny the animal of our nature, we who yearn to preserve our liberation, we who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire, we who aspire to the truth and pursue its strength. Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare, fearing all the mediocrity that they possess? Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might, reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours? Consider the God we could be without the grace once and for all? Diminish the sub principle and leave its toxic trace once and for all? |

No other voice than his own will ever tell what was real and where he had been, what he had done. Did you bleed for the cause like the rest of his men, did you capture the euphoria? How it was like to kill such a necromantic force behind it all. They sure did battle till the end! But when came all the glory and who got spared to carry his body just pure death and too profound to be shared. Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory to serve the wastelands of insanity at the front. Life forever lost its innocence, never to see the light of day again. He pondered his last few steps into the realms of death with his hands bloodstained. Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? |

We who not deny the animal of our nature, we who yearn to preserve our liberation, we who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire, we who aspire to the truth and pursue its strength. Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare, fearing all the mediocrity that they possess? Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might, reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours? Consider the God we could be without the grace once and for all? Diminish the sub principle and leave its toxic trace once and for all? |

Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here. End the road here! No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. Prove failure of faith! Enriched by the presence of its clarity darkness descends, everyone dies.

Demonstrate superiority, a grand gesture of liberation need no judge or jury. Demons rate inferiority, scatter the remains of the prey. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay.

Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. For den tro du besitter er intet annet enn avsmak og hovmod og din nøden etter viten er en overflod av hån og skjend, smerten i mitt hjerte er ikke tørste etter himmelsk legeme. Ei er det sviktende søken etter englemakt det er ilden og den brenner det er bare det at do skjemmer for den. Ta del i skyldens skygge behag din sjel med syndens under for hvor er vel do når lampen slukkes. Men døden kommer ei med vårt bud gjenklang fra den prektiges arv vil innfri det endelige forderv. Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. Bring dom over andre en ditt eget hode der do gjemmer din skam i lovsang så skal do få smake frukten av din egen bortgang. Som en flokk av helveds opphav og forvaltere av foraktens sønn parerer vi deres list med avskyens prakt med. Beviset på vår tunge byrde ligger deres sinn i åndenød skamfert tilbake uten makt. Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. |

Let us sit back and watch death and destruction’s devotees revel, let us sit back and witness innocent semen being poured. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. Reason faithfully defiles on bloodstained hands where graceful motion are lost arts. There are only battles to be lost in the kingdoms of the blind. For those who seek salvation in the dust of the earth will only find wrath in the sands of time. Engulfed by the desert we taste death in the dry heat. Disciples of prophetic ablution had sworn to let the skeptics bleed for great are their love for warfare, henchmen of the disastrous creed. Henchmen of the disastrous creed! Watch us all celebrate in their name, the lambs of our time being slain, awaiting the final perdition Awaiting the final perdition! Defeat against all and everything for whatever adorned righteousness, justice never wait for the guilty to speak the truth. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. For mankind so hated the world that it gave all it’s begotten sons and daughters that whoever believed the lie to perish and receive everlasting Hell. |

Man and his faithful ethics intoxicated by the fruits of the earth. Diabolical fanatikism, so cold and grim, the perfect perversion, bestiality incarnate. As instruments of torture and leaving no room for sympathy We bring forth the monstrous birth to the worlds light. As all great art is made from suffering and so are we. Good in nature but evil by our own free will. Incestuously created by the will to kill, time is here to walk the final abyss march bound to the force of the last holocaust. Pour free the gifts of grace and slaughter the entire human race. Not permitted to redemption when pain rises high in purgatory. A reality so convincingly justified feeding from Death Cult’s gown. We bring forth monstrous birth to the worlds light. |

Uren er aktens utfoldelse og tanke uten hemning i ukjent ekstase, ei et tilbørlig ønske om å avle avkom for Gud frivillig nedsmittet og gjennomsyret i kjødelig sødme fengslet av logn og ulydighet. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Visdom berikes fritt i dyrets mangfold når himmerikets salige urett og svulstige barmhjertighet vekker forkastelse ved vårt åsyn. Gnisten har slått flamme og piner i pestilensens vilje. De ynkelige slaver knelende i skam, besvangret med skyld og miskunn. Ætlinger som sverger eden med troskapsløfte om å ugjøre freden a styrte himmelslavers velvære og triumfere i kulde til Dyrets ære. Vredens beger renner over I forherdelse fra opprør djevlers svovelvind glødende, fra regionen av Belial’s barn avlet hinsides harmens trossende tind.

Through the lecherous eyes disgust withstand for are not these the windows to your soul? Fatherly fornication of sweat lips in dismay repeatedly unlocking the vaults to the holocaust. The dormant prodigy seeks its reason for rebirth but it will never, never gain the strength. A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn.

A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Regrets can no longer find it’s ways, streams of innocent bitter tears flowing down the drain, mirrored in the haze of a partaker’s eyes. |

Cuddled through a cold womb he was, pitch black and without sunshine rays. Hell patiently awaiting him on blood spilled soil, a noble grief stirred heart always ready to die. In sinister systematisation submission is golden as an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed. He was like an object that is being processed, a force-fed destructor ready for abomination. The vast solitude in him witnessed it all, those self afflicting eyes and their fear painted faces. Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable. Hosts to oblivion exploring the darkest of places, stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck. Every day seemed like an endless night, when would he ever wake from this void? No other voice than his own will ever tell what was real and where he had been, what he had done. Did you bleed for the cause like the rest of his men, did you capture the euphoria? How it was like to kill such a necromantic force behind it all. They sure did battle till the end! But when came all the glory and who got spared to carry his body just pure death and too profound to be shared. Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory to serve the wastelands of insanity at the front. Life forever lost its innocence, never to see the light of day again. He pondered his last few steps into the realms of death with his hands bloodstained. Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth?

Cuddled through a cold womb he was, pitch black and without sunshine rays. Hell patiently awaiting him on blood spilled soil, a noble grief stirred heart always ready to die. In sinister systematisation submission is golden as an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed. He was like an object that is being processed, a force-fed destructor ready for abomination. The vast solitude in him witnessed it all, those self afflicting eyes and their fear painted faces. Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable. Hosts to oblivion exploring the darkest of places, stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck. Every day seemed like an endless night, when would he ever wake from this void? No other voice than his own will ever tell what was real and where he had been, what he had done. Did you bleed for the cause like the rest of his men, did you capture the euphoria? How it was like to kill such a necromantic force behind it all. They sure did battle till the end! But when came all the glory and who got spared to carry his body just pure death and too profound to be shared. Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory to serve the wastelands of insanity at the front. Life forever lost its innocence, never to see the light of day again. He pondered his last few steps into the realms of death with his hands bloodstained. Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? |

We the prosperity of the future seal, cloaked by the thunders of the north wind. Born to capture the essence of the trails of our kind. Zero tolerance must be issued forth behind the enemy’s line. So it shall be written and so it shall be done. Zero tolerance must be issued forth behind the enemy’s line. So it shall be written and so it shall be done.

We who not deny the animal of our nature, we who yearn to preserve our liberation, we who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire, we who aspire to the truth and pursue its strength. Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare, fearing all the mediocrity that they possess? Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might, reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours? Consider the God we could be without the grace once and for all? Diminish the sub principle and leave its toxic trace once and for all? |

The commotion breeding the perverse for bloodbath is on your doorstep. A mass impending threat, the perfection of religion becoming our death. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay. Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here. End the road here! No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. Prove failure of faith! Enriched by the presence of its clarity darkness descends, everyone dies.

Demonstrate superiority, a grand gesture of liberation need no judge or jury. Demons rate inferiority, scatter the remains of the prey. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay.

Let us sit back and watch death and destruction’s devotees revel, let us sit back and witness innocent semen being poured. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. Reason faithfully defiles on bloodstained hands where graceful motion are lost arts. There are only battles to be lost in the kingdoms of the blind. For those who seek salvation in the dust of the earth will only find wrath in the sands of time. Engulfed by the desert we taste death in the dry heat. Disciples of prophetic ablution had sworn to let the skeptics bleed for great are their love for warfare, henchmen of the disastrous creed. Henchmen of the disastrous creed! Watch us all celebrate in their name, the lambs of our time being slain, awaiting the final perdition Awaiting the final perdition! Defeat against all and everything for whatever adorned righteousness, justice never wait for the guilty to speak the truth. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. For mankind so hated the world that it gave all it’s begotten sons and daughters that whoever believed the lie to perish and receive everlasting Hell. |

Man and his faithful ethics intoxicated by the fruits of the earth. Diabolical fanatikism, so cold and grim, the perfect perversion, bestiality incarnate. As instruments of torture and leaving no room for sympathy We bring forth the monstrous birth to the worlds light. As all great art is made from suffering and so are we. Good in nature but evil by our own free will. Incestuously created by the will to kill, time is here to walk the final abyss march bound to the force of the last holocaust. Pour free the gifts of grace and slaughter the entire human race. Not permitted to redemption when pain rises high in purgatory. A reality so convincingly justified feeding from Death Cult’s gown. We bring forth monstrous birth to the worlds light. |

The memories far beyond the reckoning have begun to lurk in the distance like visual objects dearly known, the grace of the Devils hands. As they walk with me like a medium when I choose and require a burn-out. Resting in expanded malicious force, drained for murderous weapons. Knowing where you stand in this magnitude of this thought. Looking at the spirit of fire and flames, enduring on the throne of the black heart. The memories far beyond the reckoning have begun to lurk in the distance like visual objects dearly known, the grace of the Devils hands.

Looking at the spirit of fire and flames, enduring on the throne of the black heart. Knowing where you stand in this magnitude of this thought! A bringer of evil I am, and therefore also a carrier of light as I use this focus through the dark and face the sunshine in the dead end. Limitations do not exist when you are ahead of the crowd, with the art of confidence I reign at the throne of my soul. The value of this darkness unwinds, travelling the other path. A hidden triumph but obvious to the strong and wise. By understanding this reality I remain in a twice-coloured cloud with feet connected solid in the ground, and thus I get peace of mind. And thus I get peace of mind! A bringer of evil I am, and also a carrier of light as I use this focus through the dark and face the sunshine in the dead end... |

Devoted to your own opiate in escapades from discontentment. Are you shutting off from the outside world to reflect on your mind shallow gutter? For this is your empire, this is your intrigue. Here you own them all, here you seal the deed. Contaminated from the spree of self salvation to keep the fever flowing in the veins, prominently manipulating Heaven and Hell. Does your sophistically discreet interlude maintain stories not to be revealed? In your search for redemption greed and lies become the savior. Through the lecherous eyes disgust withstand for are not these the windows to your soul? Fatherly fornication of sweat lips in dismay repeatedly unlocking the vaults to the holocaust. The dormant prodigy seeks its reason for rebirth but it will never, never gain the strength. A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Sacramental suicide amidst the flow of virgin vine. The only way to comfort the defeat! A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Regrets can no longer find it’s ways, streams of innocent bitter tears flowing down the drain, mirrored in the haze of a partaker’s eyes. |

As they walk with me like a medium when I choose and require a burn-out. Resting in expanded malicious force, drained for murderous weapons. Knowing where you stand in this magnitude of this thought. Looking at the spirit of fire and flames, enduring on the throne of the black heart. Knowing where you stand in this magnitude of this thought! A bringer of evil I am, and therefore also a carrier of light as I use this focus through the dark and face the sunshine in the dead end. Limitations do not exist when you are ahead of the crowd, with the art of confidence I reign at the throne of my soul. The value of this darkness unwinds, travelling the other path. A hidden triumph but obvious to the strong and wise. By understanding this reality I remain in a twice-coloured cloud with feet connected solid in the ground, and thus I get peace of mind. And thus I get peace of mind! A bringer of evil I am, and also a carrier of light as I use this focus through the dark and face the sunshine in the dead end... |

Devoted to your own opiate in escapades from discontentment. Are you shutting off from the outside world to reflect on your mind shallow gutter? For this is your empire, this is your intrigue. Here you own them all, here you seal the deed. Contaminated from the spree of self salvation to keep the fever flowing in the veins, prominently manipulating Heaven and Hell. Does your sophistically discreet interlude maintain stories not to be revealed? In your search for redemption greed and lies become the savior. Through the lecherous eyes disgust withstand for are not these the windows to your soul? Fatherly fornication of sweat lips in dismay repeatedly unlocking the vaults to the holocaust. The dormant prodigy seeks its reason for rebirth but it will never, never gain the strength. A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Sacramental suicide amidst the flow of virgin vine. The only way to comfort the defeat! A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Regrets can no longer find it’s ways, streams of innocent bitter tears flowing down the drain, mirrored in the haze of a partaker’s eyes. |

1. | Allegiance | 05:50 | Show lyrics |
Cuddled through a cold womb he was, pitch black and without sunshine rays. Hell patiently awaiting him on blood spilled soil, a noble grief stirred heart always ready to die. In sinister systematisation submission is golden as an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed. He was like an object that is being processed, a force-fed destructor ready for abomination. The vast solitude in him witnessed it all, those self afflicting eyes and their fear painted faces. Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable. Hosts to oblivion exploring the darkest of places, stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck. Every day seemed like an endless night, when would he ever wake from this void? No other voice than his own will ever tell what was real and where he had been, what he had done. Did you bleed for the cause like the rest of his men, did you capture the euphoria? How it was like to kill such a necromantic force behind it all. They sure did battle till the end! But when came all the glory and who got spared to carry his body just pure death and too profound to be shared. Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory to serve the wastelands of insanity at the front. Life forever lost its innocence, never to see the light of day again. He pondered his last few steps into the realms of death with his hands bloodstained. Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? |

The commotion breeding the perverse for bloodbath is on your doorstep. A mass impending threat, the perfection of religion becoming our death. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay. Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here. End the road here! No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. Prove failure of faith! Enriched by the presence of its clarity darkness descends, everyone dies. No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. For wisdom aligns in our favor, illuminated before our eyes. Uncover a new beginning, the inevitable dawn, justice will be given where justice is due, and guide the righteous ones ack to the final resting ground to perceive the truly hellbound. Demonstrate superiority, a grand gesture of liberation need no judge or jury. Demons rate inferiority, scatter the remains of the prey. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay. Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here.

Ei er det sviktende søken etter englemakt det er ilden og den brenner det er bare det at do skjemmer for den. Ta del i skyldens skygge behag din sjel med syndens under for hvor er vel do når lampen slukkes. Men døden kommer ei med vårt bud gjenklang fra den prektiges arv vil innfri det endelige forderv.

Som en flokk av helveds opphav og forvaltere av foraktens sønn parerer vi deres list med avskyens prakt med. Beviset på vår tunge byrde ligger deres sinn i åndenød skamfert tilbake uten makt.

5. | For the World to Dictate Our Death | 04:46 | Show lyrics |
Let us sit back and watch death and destruction’s devotees revel, let us sit back and witness innocent semen being poured. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. Reason faithfully defiles on bloodstained hands where graceful motion are lost arts. There are only battles to be lost in the kingdoms of the blind. For those who seek salvation in the dust of the earth will only find wrath in the sands of time. Engulfed by the desert we taste death in the dry heat. Disciples of prophetic ablution had sworn to let the skeptics bleed for great are their love for warfare, henchmen of the disastrous creed. Henchmen of the disastrous creed! Watch us all celebrate in their name, the lambs of our time being slain, awaiting the final perdition Awaiting the final perdition! Defeat against all and everything for whatever adorned righteousness, justice never wait for the guilty to speak the truth. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. For mankind so hated the world that it gave all it’s begotten sons and daughters that whoever believed the lie to perish and receive everlasting Hell. |

Man and his faithful ethics intoxicated by the fruits of the earth. Diabolical fanatikism, so cold and grim, the perfect perversion, bestiality incarnate. As instruments of torture and leaving no room for sympathy We bring forth the monstrous birth to the worlds light. As all great art is made from suffering and so are we. Good in nature but evil by our own free will. Incestuously created by the will to kill, time is here to walk the final abyss march bound to the force of the last holocaust. Pour free the gifts of grace and slaughter the entire human race. Not permitted to redemption when pain rises high in purgatory. A reality so convincingly justified feeding from Death Cult’s gown. We bring forth monstrous birth to the worlds light. |

7. | Allehelgens død i Helveds rike | 05:35 | Show lyrics |
Uren er aktens utfoldelse og tanke uten hemning i ukjent ekstase, ei et tilbørlig ønske om å avle avkom for Gud frivillig nedsmittet og gjennomsyret i kjødelig sødme fengslet av logn og ulydighet. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Visdom berikes fritt i dyrets mangfold når himmerikets salige urett og svulstige barmhjertighet vekker forkastelse ved vårt åsyn. Gnisten har slått flamme og piner i pestilensens vilje. De ynkelige slaver knelende i skam, besvangret med skyld og miskunn. Ætlinger som sverger eden med troskapsløfte om å ugjøre freden a styrte himmelslavers velvære og triumfere i kulde til Dyrets ære. Vredens beger renner over I forherdelse fra opprør djevlers svovelvind glødende, fra regionen av Belial’s barn avlet hinsides harmens trossende tind. De siste tegn fra Kristi tapende engler brenner ubønnhørlig i ravnens ild. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Smertefull og blek er døden med blodstyrtning fra lysets gild. Dødens fremmøte sparer ingen det fromme liv kveles av egne tunger. Den kosteligste jord blir pyntet med fattigdom og hunger. Utspente vinger over mørkets dype svelg satt til verden for å meske seg med pest og død fråtsende i synd og hor. Overmakten fra polens bastarder nærer behag i syndens hierarki et evig liv i paradis er fullkommenhet i Satans dynasti. |

Are you born from the abyss and have you sought the creed that draped the shadows of your own thoughts? Is your heart mesmerized by the fire that burns forevermore and do the secrets from the flames hold the mysteries over which you preside? Reveal the infantile wound and regain strength, free your spirit from those who lead in praise. Recollect the anger and the hate for not shall your morals dissolve in pity. Righteous warmth accompanied by deceitful tongues. Stay away from processed promises, let them fear what you know. Let them fear what you know! A malicious smile on their lips to keep us all under control, now it’s time to rise and demand our due. The whores and their illusions left us bitter and cold. Drench them in their own poison, spit back the scorn of their ways. Out win their defect morality and the words they pray, consolidate the troops and expose the lies in their eyes. The ones deprived from the ecstasy that binds the neglect. Better lead than being led, earn any victory. For you stand superior above the plague and it’s mass, the burden of proof rests on your shoulders. Are you born from the abyss and have you sought the creed that draped the shadows of your own thoughts? Is your heart mesmerized by the fire that burns forevermore and do the secrets from the flames hold the mysteries over which you preside? |

As mortal manufactured waste and part of the commonly infected, you prevent the ones worthy the gift of life to surface on once a prosperous soil. As superficially bewildered whores and succumbing to fictional truth, you are taught to preserve and profit the life institutional lie. You are taught to preserve and profit the life institutional lie. You worthless piece of shit may we all depart from this world and dissolve into nothingness, compassion will not be granted when life’s value is point below zero. Human depravity is at our disposal as the perfect tool to destroy mankind, the worst kind of them all. Modern times’ ignorance, the world disease. Appeal to death of every man, a living hate smoldering abyss. Nurtured through centuries with quietly exercised wrath seeks the easiest way to the feed the engine, praising the final bloodbath. Uncertainty and guilt will no longer endorse our fate. There will be no remorse, we kill to kill again, killing all. Go ahead, end it all, we deserve no better as a forever unblessed detonation. The great plutonium chord fulminates blinding the eyes of creation. Cutting off all life support sweeping away existence instantly Iced desolate ruins linger, leaving traces of our lovely humanity. As mortal manufactured waste and part of the commonly infected, you prevent the ones worthy the gift of life to surface on once a prosperous soil. Uncertainty and guilt will no longer endorse our fate. There will be no remorse, we kill to kill again, killing all. |

Let us sit back and watch death and destruction’s devotees revel, let us sit back and witness innocent semen being poured. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. Reason faithfully defiles on bloodstained hands where graceful motion are lost arts. There are only battles to be lost in the kingdoms of the blind. For those who seek salvation in the dust of the earth will only find wrath in the sands of time. Engulfed by the desert we taste death in the dry heat. Disciples of prophetic ablution had sworn to let the skeptics bleed for great are their love for warfare, henchmen of the disastrous creed. Henchmen of the disastrous creed! Watch us all celebrate in their name, the lambs of our time being slain, awaiting the final perdition Awaiting the final perdition! Defeat against all and everything for whatever adorned righteousness, justice never wait for the guilty to speak the truth. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. For mankind so hated the world that it gave all it’s begotten sons and daughters that whoever believed the lie to perish and receive everlasting Hell. |

6. | Blood Hunger Doctrine | 04:39 | Show lyrics |
Man and his faithful ethics intoxicated by the fruits of the earth. Diabolical fanatikism, so cold and grim, the perfect perversion, bestiality incarnate. As instruments of torture and leaving no room for sympathy We bring forth the monstrous birth to the worlds light. As all great art is made from suffering and so are we. Good in nature but evil by our own free will. Incestuously created by the will to kill, time is here to walk the final abyss march bound to the force of the last holocaust. Pour free the gifts of grace and slaughter the entire human race. Not permitted to redemption when pain rises high in purgatory. A reality so convincingly justified feeding from Death Cult’s gown. We bring forth monstrous birth to the worlds light. |

Uren er aktens utfoldelse og tanke uten hemning i ukjent ekstase, ei et tilbørlig ønske om å avle avkom for Gud frivillig nedsmittet og gjennomsyret i kjødelig sødme fengslet av logn og ulydighet. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Visdom berikes fritt i dyrets mangfold når himmerikets salige urett og svulstige barmhjertighet vekker forkastelse ved vårt åsyn. Gnisten har slått flamme og piner i pestilensens vilje. De ynkelige slaver knelende i skam, besvangret med skyld og miskunn. Ætlinger som sverger eden med troskapsløfte om å ugjøre freden a styrte himmelslavers velvære og triumfere i kulde til Dyrets ære. Vredens beger renner over I forherdelse fra opprør djevlers svovelvind glødende, fra regionen av Belial’s barn avlet hinsides harmens trossende tind. De siste tegn fra Kristi tapende engler brenner ubønnhørlig i ravnens ild. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Smertefull og blek er døden med blodstyrtning fra lysets gild. Dødens fremmøte sparer ingen det fromme liv kveles av egne tunger. Den kosteligste jord blir pyntet med fattigdom og hunger. Utspente vinger over mørkets dype svelg satt til verden for å meske seg med pest og død fråtsende i synd og hor. Overmakten fra polens bastarder nærer behag i syndens hierarki et evig liv i paradis er fullkommenhet i Satans dynasti. |

Here you own them all, here you seal the deed. Contaminated from the spree of self salvation to keep the fever flowing in the veins, prominently manipulating Heaven and Hell. Does your sophistically discreet interlude maintain stories not to be revealed? In your search for redemption greed and lies become the savior. Through the lecherous eyes disgust withstand for are not these the windows to your soul? Fatherly fornication of sweat lips in dismay repeatedly unlocking the vaults to the holocaust. The dormant prodigy seeks its reason for rebirth but it will never, never gain the strength. A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Sacramental suicide amidst the flow of virgin vine. The only way to comfort the defeat! A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Regrets can no longer find it’s ways, streams of innocent bitter tears flowing down the drain, mirrored in the haze of a partaker’s eyes. |

Cuddled through a cold womb he was, pitch black and without sunshine rays. Hell patiently awaiting him on blood spilled soil, a noble grief stirred heart always ready to die. In sinister systematisation submission is golden as an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed. He was like an object that is being processed, a force-fed destructor ready for abomination. The vast solitude in him witnessed it all, those self afflicting eyes and their fear painted faces. Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable. Hosts to oblivion exploring the darkest of places, stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck. Every day seemed like an endless night, when would he ever wake from this void? No other voice than his own will ever tell what was real and where he had been, what he had done. Did you bleed for the cause like the rest of his men, did you capture the euphoria? How it was like to kill such a necromantic force behind it all. They sure did battle till the end! But when came all the glory and who got spared to carry his body just pure death and too profound to be shared. Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory to serve the wastelands of insanity at the front. Life forever lost its innocence, never to see the light of day again. He pondered his last few steps into the realms of death with his hands bloodstained. Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? |

The commotion breeding the perverse for bloodbath is on your doorstep. A mass impending threat, the perfection of religion becoming our death. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay. Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here. End the road here! No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. Prove failure of faith! Enriched by the presence of its clarity darkness descends, everyone dies. No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. For wisdom aligns in our favor, illuminated before our eyes. Uncover a new beginning, the inevitable dawn, justice will be given where justice is due, and guide the righteous ones ack to the final resting ground to perceive the truly hellbound. Demonstrate superiority, a grand gesture of liberation need no judge or jury. Demons rate inferiority, scatter the remains of the prey. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay. Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here. Uncover a new beginning, the inevitable dawn, justice will be given where justice is due, and guide the righteous ones ack to the final resting ground to perceive the truly hellbound. |

Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. For den tro du besitter er intet annet enn avsmak og hovmod og din nøden etter viten er en overflod av hån og skjend, smerten i mitt hjerte er ikke tørste etter himmelsk legeme. Ei er det sviktende søken etter englemakt det er ilden og den brenner det er bare det at do skjemmer for den. Ta del i skyldens skygge behag din sjel med syndens under for hvor er vel do når lampen slukkes. Men døden kommer ei med vårt bud gjenklang fra den prektiges arv vil innfri det endelige forderv. Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. Bring dom over andre en ditt eget hode der do gjemmer din skam i lovsang så skal do få smake frukten av din egen bortgang. Som en flokk av helveds opphav og forvaltere av foraktens sønn parerer vi deres list med avskyens prakt med. Beviset på vår tunge byrde ligger deres sinn i åndenød skamfert tilbake uten makt. Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. |

Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. Reason faithfully defiles on bloodstained hands where graceful motion are lost arts. There are only battles to be lost in the kingdoms of the blind. For those who seek salvation in the dust of the earth will only find wrath in the sands of time. Engulfed by the desert we taste death in the dry heat. Disciples of prophetic ablution had sworn to let the skeptics bleed for great are their love for warfare, henchmen of the disastrous creed.

Man and his faithful ethics intoxicated by the fruits of the earth. Diabolical fanatikism, so cold and grim, the perfect perversion, bestiality incarnate. As instruments of torture and leaving no room for sympathy We bring forth the monstrous birth to the worlds light. As all great art is made from suffering and so are we. Good in nature but evil by our own free will. Incestuously created by the will to kill, time is here to walk the final abyss march bound to the force of the last holocaust. Pour free the gifts of grace and slaughter the entire human race. Not permitted to redemption when pain rises high in purgatory. A reality so convincingly justified feeding from Death Cult’s gown. We bring forth monstrous birth to the worlds light. |

1. | Allegiance | 05:50 | Show lyrics |
Cuddled through a cold womb he was, pitch black and without sunshine rays. Hell patiently awaiting him on blood spilled soil, a noble grief stirred heart always ready to die. In sinister systematisation submission is golden as an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed. He was like an object that is being processed, a force-fed destructor ready for abomination. The vast solitude in him witnessed it all, those self afflicting eyes and their fear painted faces. Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable. Hosts to oblivion exploring the darkest of places, stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck. Every day seemed like an endless night, when would he ever wake from this void? No other voice than his own will ever tell what was real and where he had been, what he had done. Did you bleed for the cause like the rest of his men, did you capture the euphoria? How it was like to kill such a necromantic force behind it all. They sure did battle till the end! But when came all the glory and who got spared to carry his body just pure death and too profound to be shared. Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory to serve the wastelands of insanity at the front. Life forever lost its innocence, never to see the light of day again. He pondered his last few steps into the realms of death with his hands bloodstained. Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? |

Cuddled through a cold womb he was, pitch black and without sunshine rays. Hell patiently awaiting him on blood spilled soil, a noble grief stirred heart always ready to die. In sinister systematisation submission is golden as an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed. He was like an object that is being processed, a force-fed destructor ready for abomination. The vast solitude in him witnessed it all, those self afflicting eyes and their fear painted faces. Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable. Hosts to oblivion exploring the darkest of places, stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck. Every day seemed like an endless night, when would he ever wake from this void? No other voice than his own will ever tell what was real and where he had been, what he had done. Did you bleed for the cause like the rest of his men, did you capture the euphoria? How it was like to kill such a necromantic force behind it all. They sure did battle till the end! But when came all the glory and who got spared to carry his body just pure death and too profound to be shared. Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory to serve the wastelands of insanity at the front. Life forever lost its innocence, never to see the light of day again. He pondered his last few steps into the realms of death with his hands bloodstained. Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? |

The battle raged on and on, fuelled by the venom of hatred for man. Consistently without the eyes to see by those who revel in sewer equally. We the prosperity of the future seal, cloaked by the thunders of the north wind. Born to capture the essence of the trails of our kind. Zero tolerance must be issued forth behind the enemy’s line. So it shall be written and so it shall be done. Zero tolerance must be issued forth behind the enemy’s line. So it shall be written and so it shall be done. The battle raged on and on, fuelled by the venom of hatred for man. Consistently without the eyes to see by those who revel in sewer equally. We the prosperity of the future seal, cloaked by the thunders of the north wind. Born to capture the essence of the trails of our kind. Discover and conceive the secret wealth and pass it unto your breed. Become your own congregation, measure the sovereignty of its invigoration. We who not deny the animal of our nature, we who yearn to preserve our liberation, we who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire, we who aspire to the truth and pursue its strength. Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare, fearing all the mediocrity that they possess? Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might, reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours? Consider the God we could be without the grace once and for all? Diminish the sub principle and leave its toxic trace once and for all? |

The commotion breeding the perverse for bloodbath is on your doorstep. A mass impending threat, the perfection of religion becoming our death. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay. Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here. End the road here! No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. Prove failure of faith! Enriched by the presence of its clarity darkness descends, everyone dies. No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. For wisdom aligns in our favor, illuminated before our eyes. Uncover a new beginning, the inevitable dawn, justice will be given where justice is due, and guide the righteous ones ack to the final resting ground to perceive the truly hellbound. Demonstrate superiority, a grand gesture of liberation need no judge or jury. Demons rate inferiority, scatter the remains of the prey. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay. Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here. Uncover a new beginning, the inevitable dawn, justice will be given where justice is due, and guide the righteous ones ack to the final resting ground to perceive the truly hellbound. |

Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. For den tro du besitter er intet annet enn avsmak og hovmod og din nøden etter viten er en overflod av hån og skjend, smerten i mitt hjerte er ikke tørste etter himmelsk legeme. Ei er det sviktende søken etter englemakt det er ilden og den brenner det er bare det at do skjemmer for den. Ta del i skyldens skygge behag din sjel med syndens under for hvor er vel do når lampen slukkes. Men døden kommer ei med vårt bud gjenklang fra den prektiges arv vil innfri det endelige forderv. Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. Bring dom over andre en ditt eget hode der do gjemmer din skam i lovsang så skal do få smake frukten av din egen bortgang. Som en flokk av helveds opphav og forvaltere av foraktens sønn parerer vi deres list med avskyens prakt med. Beviset på vår tunge byrde ligger deres sinn i åndenød skamfert tilbake uten makt. Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. |

5. | For the World to Dictate Our Death | 04:46 | Show lyrics |
Let us sit back and watch death and destruction’s devotees revel, let us sit back and witness innocent semen being poured. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. Reason faithfully defiles on bloodstained hands where graceful motion are lost arts. There are only battles to be lost in the kingdoms of the blind. For those who seek salvation in the dust of the earth will only find wrath in the sands of time. Engulfed by the desert we taste death in the dry heat. Disciples of prophetic ablution had sworn to let the skeptics bleed for great are their love for warfare, henchmen of the disastrous creed. Henchmen of the disastrous creed! Watch us all celebrate in their name, the lambs of our time being slain, awaiting the final perdition Awaiting the final perdition! Defeat against all and everything for whatever adorned righteousness, justice never wait for the guilty to speak the truth. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. For mankind so hated the world that it gave all it’s begotten sons and daughters that whoever believed the lie to perish and receive everlasting Hell. |

6. | Blood Hunger Doctrine | 04:39 | Show lyrics |
Man and his faithful ethics intoxicated by the fruits of the earth. Diabolical fanatikism, so cold and grim, the perfect perversion, bestiality incarnate. As instruments of torture and leaving no room for sympathy We bring forth the monstrous birth to the worlds light. As all great art is made from suffering and so are we. Good in nature but evil by our own free will. Incestuously created by the will to kill, time is here to walk the final abyss march bound to the force of the last holocaust. Pour free the gifts of grace and slaughter the entire human race. Not permitted to redemption when pain rises high in purgatory. A reality so convincingly justified feeding from Death Cult’s gown. We bring forth monstrous birth to the worlds light. |

Uren er aktens utfoldelse og tanke uten hemning i ukjent ekstase, ei et tilbørlig ønske om å avle avkom for Gud frivillig nedsmittet og gjennomsyret i kjødelig sødme fengslet av logn og ulydighet. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Visdom berikes fritt i dyrets mangfold når himmerikets salige urett og svulstige barmhjertighet vekker forkastelse ved vårt åsyn. Gnisten har slått flamme og piner i pestilensens vilje. De ynkelige slaver knelende i skam, besvangret med skyld og miskunn. Ætlinger som sverger eden med troskapsløfte om å ugjøre freden a styrte himmelslavers velvære og triumfere i kulde til Dyrets ære. Vredens beger renner over I forherdelse fra opprør djevlers svovelvind glødende, fra regionen av Belial’s barn avlet hinsides harmens trossende tind. De siste tegn fra Kristi tapende engler brenner ubønnhørlig i ravnens ild. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Smertefull og blek er døden med blodstyrtning fra lysets gild. Dødens fremmøte sparer ingen det fromme liv kveles av egne tunger. Den kosteligste jord blir pyntet med fattigdom og hunger. Utspente vinger over mørkets dype svelg satt til verden for å meske seg med pest og død fråtsende i synd og hor. Overmakten fra polens bastarder nærer behag i syndens hierarki et evig liv i paradis er fullkommenhet i Satans dynasti. |

The memories far beyond the reckoning have begun to lurk in the distance like visual objects dearly known, the grace of the Devils hands.

Looking at the spirit of fire and flames, enduring on the throne of the black heart.

A bringer of evil I am, and therefore also a carrier of light as I use this focus through the dark and face the sunshine in the dead end. Limitations do not exist when you are ahead of the crowd, with the art of confidence I reign at the throne of my soul. The value of this darkness unwinds, travelling the other path. A hidden triumph but obvious to the strong and wise. By understanding this reality I remain in a twice-coloured cloud with feet connected solid in the ground, and thus I get peace of mind. And thus I get peace of mind! A bringer of evil I am, and also a carrier of light as I use this focus through the dark and face the sunshine in the dead end... |

Devoted to your own opiate in escapades from discontentment. Are you shutting off from the outside world to reflect on your mind shallow gutter? For this is your empire, this is your intrigue. Here you own them all, here you seal the deed. Contaminated from the spree of self salvation to keep the fever flowing in the veins, prominently manipulating Heaven and Hell. Does your sophistically discreet interlude maintain stories not to be revealed? In your search for redemption greed and lies become the savior. Through the lecherous eyes disgust withstand for are not these the windows to your soul? Fatherly fornication of sweat lips in dismay repeatedly unlocking the vaults to the holocaust. The dormant prodigy seeks its reason for rebirth but it will never, never gain the strength. A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Sacramental suicide amidst the flow of virgin vine. The only way to comfort the defeat! A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Regrets can no longer find it’s ways, streams of innocent bitter tears flowing down the drain, mirrored in the haze of a partaker’s eyes. |

1. | Allegiance | 05:50 | Show lyrics |
Cuddled through a cold womb he was, pitch black and without sunshine rays. Hell patiently awaiting him on blood spilled soil, a noble grief stirred heart always ready to die. In sinister systematisation submission is golden as an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed. He was like an object that is being processed, a force-fed destructor ready for abomination. The vast solitude in him witnessed it all, those self afflicting eyes and their fear painted faces. Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable. Hosts to oblivion exploring the darkest of places, stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck. Every day seemed like an endless night, when would he ever wake from this void? No other voice than his own will ever tell what was real and where he had been, what he had done. Did you bleed for the cause like the rest of his men, did you capture the euphoria? How it was like to kill such a necromantic force behind it all. They sure did battle till the end! But when came all the glory and who got spared to carry his body just pure death and too profound to be shared. Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory to serve the wastelands of insanity at the front. Life forever lost its innocence, never to see the light of day again. He pondered his last few steps into the realms of death with his hands bloodstained. Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? Courage and consistency, bravery and valor, honor and pride for what was it all worth? |

2. | Progenies of the Great Apocalypse | 05:17 | Show lyrics |
The battle raged on and on, fuelled by the venom of hatred for man. Consistently without the eyes to see by those who revel in sewer equally. We the prosperity of the future seal, cloaked by the thunders of the north wind. Born to capture the essence of the trails of our kind. Zero tolerance must be issued forth behind the enemy’s line. So it shall be written and so it shall be done. Zero tolerance must be issued forth behind the enemy’s line. So it shall be written and so it shall be done. The battle raged on and on, fuelled by the venom of hatred for man. Consistently without the eyes to see by those who revel in sewer equally. We the prosperity of the future seal, cloaked by the thunders of the north wind. Born to capture the essence of the trails of our kind. Discover and conceive the secret wealth and pass it unto your breed. Become your own congregation, measure the sovereignty of its invigoration. We who not deny the animal of our nature, we who yearn to preserve our liberation, we who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire, we who aspire to the truth and pursue its strength. Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare, fearing all the mediocrity that they possess? Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might, reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours? Consider the God we could be without the grace once and for all? Diminish the sub principle and leave its toxic trace once and for all? |

3. | Lepers Among Us | 04:44 | Show lyrics |
The commotion breeding the perverse for bloodbath is on your doorstep. A mass impending threat, the perfection of religion becoming our death. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay. Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here. End the road here! No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. Prove failure of faith! Enriched by the presence of its clarity darkness descends, everyone dies. No solace will be found within elements of the tribe, when covered with filth from all sides compassion will fail. Their promises are honored in a mind controlled state. The absence of reality, reason and logic prove failure of faith. For wisdom aligns in our favor, illuminated before our eyes. Uncover a new beginning, the inevitable dawn, justice will be given where justice is due, and guide the righteous ones ack to the final resting ground to perceive the truly hellbound. Demonstrate superiority, a grand gesture of liberation need no judge or jury. Demons rate inferiority, scatter the remains of the prey. Do not respond blindly to growing gardens in decay. Stand guard when visitors fall silent, blow the candles out, end the road here. Uncover a new beginning, the inevitable dawn, justice will be given where justice is due, and guide the righteous ones ack to the final resting ground to perceive the truly hellbound. |

Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. For den tro du besitter er intet annet enn avsmak og hovmod og din nøden etter viten er en overflod av hån og skjend, smerten i mitt hjerte er ikke tørste etter himmelsk legeme. Ei er det sviktende søken etter englemakt det er ilden og den brenner det er bare det at do skjemmer for den. Ta del i skyldens skygge behag din sjel med syndens under for hvor er vel do når lampen slukkes. Men døden kommer ei med vårt bud gjenklang fra den prektiges arv vil innfri det endelige forderv. Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. Bring dom over andre en ditt eget hode der do gjemmer din skam i lovsang så skal do få smake frukten av din egen bortgang. Som en flokk av helveds opphav og forvaltere av foraktens sønn parerer vi deres list med avskyens prakt med. Beviset på vår tunge byrde ligger deres sinn i åndenød skamfert tilbake uten makt. Reis deg opp, la oss bestride den tanke fra vår lend og dyrk på en forbannet jord en smertens ætt. For så og tynge de barmhjertiges skjød som har tiltro til den sjelloses brød. |

5. | For the World to Dictate Our Death | 04:46 | Show lyrics |
Let us sit back and watch death and destruction’s devotees revel, let us sit back and witness innocent semen being poured. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. Reason faithfully defiles on bloodstained hands where graceful motion are lost arts. There are only battles to be lost in the kingdoms of the blind. For those who seek salvation in the dust of the earth will only find wrath in the sands of time. Engulfed by the desert we taste death in the dry heat. Disciples of prophetic ablution had sworn to let the skeptics bleed for great are their love for warfare, henchmen of the disastrous creed. Henchmen of the disastrous creed! Watch us all celebrate in their name, the lambs of our time being slain, awaiting the final perdition Awaiting the final perdition! Defeat against all and everything for whatever adorned righteousness, justice never wait for the guilty to speak the truth. Into the arms of Armageddon let it pour more and more. Pure fucking Armageddon, let it pour more and more. For mankind so hated the world that it gave all it’s begotten sons and daughters that whoever believed the lie to perish and receive everlasting Hell. |

6. | Blood Hunger Doctrine | 04:39 | Show lyrics |
Man and his faithful ethics intoxicated by the fruits of the earth. Diabolical fanatikism, so cold and grim, the perfect perversion, bestiality incarnate. As instruments of torture and leaving no room for sympathy We bring forth the monstrous birth to the worlds light. As all great art is made from suffering and so are we. Good in nature but evil by our own free will. Incestuously created by the will to kill, time is here to walk the final abyss march bound to the force of the last holocaust. Pour free the gifts of grace and slaughter the entire human race. Not permitted to redemption when pain rises high in purgatory. A reality so convincingly justified feeding from Death Cult’s gown. We bring forth monstrous birth to the worlds light. |

7. | Allehelgens død i Helveds rike | 05:35 | Show lyrics |
Uren er aktens utfoldelse og tanke uten hemning i ukjent ekstase, ei et tilbørlig ønske om å avle avkom for Gud frivillig nedsmittet og gjennomsyret i kjødelig sødme fengslet av logn og ulydighet. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Visdom berikes fritt i dyrets mangfold når himmerikets salige urett og svulstige barmhjertighet vekker forkastelse ved vårt åsyn. Gnisten har slått flamme og piner i pestilensens vilje. De ynkelige slaver knelende i skam, besvangret med skyld og miskunn. Ætlinger som sverger eden med troskapsløfte om å ugjøre freden a styrte himmelslavers velvære og triumfere i kulde til Dyrets ære. Vredens beger renner over I forherdelse fra opprør djevlers svovelvind glødende, fra regionen av Belial’s barn avlet hinsides harmens trossende tind. De siste tegn fra Kristi tapende engler brenner ubønnhørlig i ravnens ild. Menneskets skrøpelige atferd må tuktes med heder og ære blir det sagt. Men godhet fødte evig ondskap kun da Edens tyrann skjenket frukten. Smertefull og blek er døden med blodstyrtning fra lysets gild. Dødens fremmøte sparer ingen det fromme liv kveles av egne tunger. Den kosteligste jord blir pyntet med fattigdom og hunger. Utspente vinger over mørkets dype svelg satt til verden for å meske seg med pest og død fråtsende i synd og hor. Overmakten fra polens bastarder nærer behag i syndens hierarki et evig liv i paradis er fullkommenhet i Satans dynasti. |

Are you born from the abyss and have you sought the creed that draped the shadows of your own thoughts? Is your heart mesmerized by the fire that burns forevermore and do the secrets from the flames hold the mysteries over which you preside? Reveal the infantile wound and regain strength, free your spirit from those who lead in praise. Recollect the anger and the hate for not shall your morals dissolve in pity. Righteous warmth accompanied by deceitful tongues. Stay away from processed promises, let them fear what you know. Let them fear what you know! A malicious smile on their lips to keep us all under control, now it’s time to rise and demand our due. The whores and their illusions left us bitter and cold. Drench them in their own poison, spit back the scorn of their ways. Out win their defect morality and the words they pray, consolidate the troops and expose the lies in their eyes. The ones deprived from the ecstasy that binds the neglect. Better lead than being led, earn any victory. For you stand superior above the plague and it’s mass, the burden of proof rests on your shoulders. Are you born from the abyss and have you sought the creed that draped the shadows of your own thoughts? Is your heart mesmerized by the fire that burns forevermore and do the secrets from the flames hold the mysteries over which you preside? |

As mortal manufactured waste and part of the commonly infected, you prevent the ones worthy the gift of life to surface on once a prosperous soil. As superficially bewildered whores and succumbing to fictional truth, you are taught to preserve and profit the life institutional lie. You are taught to preserve and profit the life institutional lie. You worthless piece of shit may we all depart from this world and dissolve into nothingness, compassion will not be granted when life’s value is point below zero. Human depravity is at our disposal as the perfect tool to destroy mankind, the worst kind of them all. Modern times’ ignorance, the world disease. Appeal to death of every man, a living hate smoldering abyss. Nurtured through centuries with quietly exercised wrath seeks the easiest way to the feed the engine, praising the final bloodbath. Uncertainty and guilt will no longer endorse our fate. There will be no remorse, we kill to kill again, killing all. Go ahead, end it all, we deserve no better as a forever unblessed detonation. The great plutonium chord fulminates blinding the eyes of creation. Cutting off all life support sweeping away existence instantly Iced desolate ruins linger, leaving traces of our lovely humanity. As mortal manufactured waste and part of the commonly infected, you prevent the ones worthy the gift of life to surface on once a prosperous soil. Uncertainty and guilt will no longer endorse our fate. There will be no remorse, we kill to kill again, killing all. |

The memories far beyond the reckoning have begun to lurk in the distance like visual objects dearly known, the grace of the Devils hands. As they walk with me like a medium when I choose and require a burn-out. Resting in expanded malicious force, drained for murderous weapons. Knowing where you stand in this magnitude of this thought. Looking at the spirit of fire and flames, enduring on the throne of the black heart. The memories far beyond the reckoning have begun to lurk in the distance like visual objects dearly known, the grace of the Devils hands. As they walk with me like a medium when I choose and require a burn-out. Resting in expanded malicious force, drained for murderous weapons. Knowing where you stand in this magnitude of this thought. Looking at the spirit of fire and flames, enduring on the throne of the black heart. Knowing where you stand in this magnitude of this thought! A bringer of evil I am, and therefore also a carrier of light as I use this focus through the dark and face the sunshine in the dead end. Limitations do not exist when you are ahead of the crowd, with the art of confidence I reign at the throne of my soul. The value of this darkness unwinds, travelling the other path. A hidden triumph but obvious to the strong and wise. By understanding this reality I remain in a twice-coloured cloud with feet connected solid in the ground, and thus I get peace of mind. And thus I get peace of mind! A bringer of evil I am, and also a carrier of light as I use this focus through the dark and face the sunshine in the dead end... |

Devoted to your own opiate in escapades from discontentment. Are you shutting off from the outside world to reflect on your mind shallow gutter? For this is your empire, this is your intrigue. Here you own them all, here you seal the deed. Contaminated from the spree of self salvation to keep the fever flowing in the veins, prominently manipulating Heaven and Hell. Does your sophistically discreet interlude maintain stories not to be revealed? In your search for redemption greed and lies become the savior. Through the lecherous eyes disgust withstand for are not these the windows to your soul? Fatherly fornication of sweat lips in dismay repeatedly unlocking the vaults to the holocaust. The dormant prodigy seeks its reason for rebirth but it will never, never gain the strength. A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Sacramental suicide amidst the flow of virgin vine. The only way to comfort the defeat! A surrender in superficial scorn, the rape of an ever unborn. Seeds have been planted in the name of the son. Until this day ungodliness is yet to be gone. Regrets can no longer find it’s ways, streams of innocent bitter tears flowing down the drain, mirrored in the haze of a partaker’s eyes. |

Glinsende månelys ovenfor driver Frostlagte stier viser vei Svarte sjeler farer henover natten Inn gjennom skodde heim Alt har svartnet Alt lys er svunnet hen Lødig trer vi nå inn i Riket I minne om at våre spor blir fulgt Omgitt av sorgens dis Skrider ferden frem Som en skare av lik kledde skrømt Vandrer vi jervens hjem Brisen fører oss over norske myrer Forbi hver en tåkegrend Med hatet i våre harme sinn Reiser vi for aldri å komme igjen |

*** RECORDED LIVE @ OZZFEST 04 - SAN ANTONIO *** Daylight has finally reached it’s end As evenfall strikes into the sky Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight Sickening souls cry out in pain Whispering voices summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace Feel the gloom of restless spirits Hear the screams from the Mourning Palace Feel the doom of haunting chants Eternal is their lives in misery Eternal is their lives in grief Abandoned in a void of nothingness A chain of anger, a fetter of despair In this garden of depraved beings This unsacred place of helpless ones Satan blessed the creatures Inswathed them in endless night Whispering voices, summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness |

Glinsende månelys ovenfor driver Frostlagte stier viser vei Svarte sjeler farer henover natten Inn gjennom skodde heim Alt har svartnet Alt lys er svunnet hen Lødig trer vi nå inn i Riket I minne om at våre spor blir fulgt Omgitt av sorgens dis Skrider ferden frem Som en skare av lik kledde skrømt Vandrer vi jervens hjem Brisen fører oss over norske myrer Forbi hver en tåkegrend Med hatet i våre harme sinn Reiser vi for aldri å komme igjen |

Gjennom tidløse morkne drømmer I fuktig høstvind over langstrakte vidder Mot Sorias fjellheim Kommer jeg, en fandens ridder Glatt er runen på det høye fjell Gnidd vekk av regn og vind Dragende kraft av ondskap lurer Her ved trollheims muldne grind Fortumlet av dette mørke byggverk Med røvet gull fra lysets pakt Brukt som spott til å senke Deres murer Vi grunder over dette riket Så vakkert fylt med tidløs skumring Som en stjerne i tomsindighetens juv Det bringer frem en nattlig mimring Over tanker fra en vissen tid Drott til himmels er det reist Av tidens endeløse svarte minner Stormblåst ut av det sorte indre Har bergflint rullet fra mo til kneis Undring og angst samler seg i natten I mørket som ruver om spiret For ingen dag kan veien Intet lys kan luske frem Der sorg har beseiret all glede Og bygd et land på menneskets jord Fylt med iskald prakt og heder |

En høyreist ridder vender hjem Over himmel til himmel på en selvgjort bro Fra den endelige tvekamp mot lysets prest For nå til sist å gå til ro Se der i fjellbrisens indre Hvor dets liv har søkt ly for en sol Som omsider vil mørkne med den evige natt Og hindre en verden i å blomstre og gro Se der i øyets satire Hvor rester av godhet jages på flukt Og vindes vekk i en åpen grav Til den siste tenning av lys er slukket Med kraftige hugg i menneske skaller Frydes den rytter i årvåken dis Himmelhøyt - vandrende over sin stjerne Skottende på en jord dekket i is Over utallige faldne menn Som sådde livets spirende korn Streifer han vekk fra den siste krig Den mektigste fyrste, den blodige torn |

Hengitt er vi Til Mørkets keiser Den allmektige kraft Som Fører vårt sinn I kamp Mot godhetens løgn Dog fiendens hær er fattig Er den stor Men vi skal ta dem alle Og hente dem inn En etter en Det håp de ser i liv Skal forsvinne i et hav av torner De torner av deres falske frelser Engang følte spikret til sin skalle Himmelen skal rakne Og en fandens torden skal buldre og brake Hans krefter vil røyne Der Mørkes front Beseiret lysets pest Øyne vil renne i sorg Når de innser (at) deres gud ikke lenger kan hjelpe Det håp de så i gud Er svunnet og vekk for alltid De følger nå sin falske frelser Som fortsatt er bærer av en krone Med torner Men konge ble han aldri |

11. | Avmaktslave | 03:54 | Show lyrics |
Stanken fra den uransaklige vei Hvor forkynnelse og falsk forhåpning er åte Trenger igjennom som en bitterhetens gave Og befrukter den menneskelige råte Som en slave i avmakthetens tilstand Råder ei annet enn nederlagsbekjennelse Retrett Du har ei livets rett Retrett Du har ei livets rett For ignoreres Dyret og idolets tegn Vil straff omsider den skyldige bifalle Denne fromme paktens skadelige innavl Søker tilflukt i edens hage Hvorpå en stolt, ren og rakrygget herre Ikke like lett lar seg belage Retrett Du har ei livets rett Retrett Du har ei livets rett Så når dommedagstorden endelig runger Kan menneskets fantasibilde avdukes Alle og enhver med gudfryktig hunger Vil tape ansikt og slukes |

3. | Kings of the Carnival Creation | 08:07 | Show lyrics |
***RECORDED LIVE @ OZZFEST 04 - SAN ANTONIO*** Incarnated marvels simplified Effects from such a disconsolate kind Impotence of the once so perfect living Erase and rewind Stand rigid for the next battle Peace means reloading your guns The love for life is all hatred in disguise A carnival creation with masks undone In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as virulent truth Confidently dawned, to pick the best of enemies An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate (chorus:) With the stigma feasting upon your flesh I wish you well Thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our planet hell What on earth possessed you Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface And enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect With such bedevilled faith in good, subsequently trusting evil Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin Left are the kings of the carnival creation Carrying out the echoes of the fallen Sense the withering eternity as it fades away The ultimate graceless voyage of all times Only death will be guarding your angels, silently Cripples joining arms in clamour Institutionalized for the rebirth, the herd will be hunted |

*** RECORDED LIVE @ OZZFEST 2004 - SAN ANTONIO *** The battle raged on and on Fuelled by the venom of hatred for man Consistently, without the eyes to see By those who revel in sewer equally We, the prosperity of the future seal Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind Born to capture the essence of The trails of our kind Zero tolerance must be issued forth Behind the enemy’s line So it shall be written And so it shall be done (repeat 1st and 2nd verse) Discover and conceive the secret wealth And pass it unto your breed Become your own congregation Measure the sovereignty of it’s invigoration We, who not deny the animal of our nature We, who yearn to preserve our liberation We, who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire We, who aspire to the truth and pursue it’s strength Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare Fearing all the mediocrity that they possess Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might Reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours Consider the god we could be without the grace Once and for all Diminish the sub principle and leave it’s toxic trace Once and for all |

En høyreist ridder vender hjem Over himmel til himmel på en selvgjort bro Fra den endelige tvekamp mot lysets prest For nå til sist å gå til ro Se der i fjellbrisens indre Hvor dets liv har søkt ly for en sol Som omsider vil mørkne med den evige natt Og hindre en verden i å blomstre og gro Se der i øyets satire Hvor rester av godhet jages på flukt Og vindes vekk i en åpen grav Til den siste tenning av lys er slukket Med kraftige hugg i menneske skaller Frydes den rytter i årvåken dis Himmelhøyt - vandrende over sin stjerne Skottende på en jord dekket i is Over utallige faldne menn Som sådde livets spirende korn Streifer han vekk fra den siste krig Den mektigste fyrste, den blodige torn |

***RECORDED LIVE @ OZZFEST 04 - SAN ANTONIO*** Incarnated marvels simplified Effects from such a disconsolate kind Impotence of the once so perfect living Erase and rewind Stand rigid for the next battle Peace means reloading your guns The love for life is all hatred in disguise A carnival creation with masks undone In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as virulent truth Confidently dawned, to pick the best of enemies An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate (chorus:) With the stigma feasting upon your flesh I wish you well Thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our planet hell What on earth possessed you Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface And enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect With such bedevilled faith in good, subsequently trusting evil Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin Left are the kings of the carnival creation Carrying out the echoes of the fallen Sense the withering eternity as it fades away The ultimate graceless voyage of all times Only death will be guarding your angels, silently Cripples joining arms in clamour Institutionalized for the rebirth, the herd will be hunted |

***RECORDED LIVE @ OZZFEST 04 - SAN ANTONIO*** Incarnated marvels simplified Effects from such a disconsolate kind Impotence of the once so perfect living Erase and rewind Stand rigid for the next battle Peace means reloading your guns The love for life is all hatred in disguise A carnival creation with masks undone In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as virulent truth Confidently dawned, to pick the best of enemies An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate (chorus:) With the stigma feasting upon your flesh I wish you well Thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our planet hell What on earth possessed you Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface And enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect With such bedevilled faith in good, subsequently trusting evil Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin Left are the kings of the carnival creation Carrying out the echoes of the fallen Sense the withering eternity as it fades away The ultimate graceless voyage of all times Only death will be guarding your angels, silently Cripples joining arms in clamour Institutionalized for the rebirth, the herd will be hunted |

Minnenes ekko stiller timen Kneblet i tungsinnets lenker faller jeg ifra Ikke lenger vil jeg være boltet fast i vemodighetens anker Men endelig få lengselen slukket - Etter å dra Drakk jeg for meget av livhåpets krus Tok jeg gledens forfengelighet for gitt For min strid mot tomhetens smerte - Denne dødsangstens rus Er det eneste ene igjen - Som er mitt I min ensomhet vet jeg likevel At jeg ikke har noen andre å takke enn meg selv Derfor er jeg rolig når Repet strammes rundt min nakke Stumme vitner kan ei gi trøst Menigmann i gravkorets forsamling vil aldri fatte Det landet av fortapelse Jeg egenhendig skapte Denne intense dragning mot dødens portaler (Har jeg som) En vandrende studie i gråtkvalt messe-noir Behersket siden tidenes morgen Men noe jeg aldri lot slippe taket - Var sorgen |

Min sjel den glødet Og mitt sinn det lengtet å få fatt i en kristen jaevel I det kalde mørket jeg ventet med vinden Det ulte som besatt av fanden Jeg ventet Åh, som jeg ventet Tiden virket som evig Men endelig fikk jeg øye på stakkar’n Jeg hevet min knyttede neve Og skrek Svake kristne! Dø i natt! Jeg skal flerre din sjel i to! Du skal føle makten jeg har fått av mørket! Din tid er omme! Også din tro! ...også din tro...! Be om nåde du stakkars faen Og min latter skal atter runge Høyt i nattens kulde Der frosten fryser din siste Tåre... Svake kristne! Du døde i natt! Med et kraftig hugg tok jeg din skall! Du fikk føle makten jeg har fått av mørket! Endelig kjenner du Dødsriket kaller |

Gjennom tidløse morkne drømmer I fuktig høstvind over langstrakte vidder Mot Sorias fjellheim Kommer jeg, en fandens ridder Glatt er runen på det høye fjell Gnidd vekk av regn og vind Dragende kraft av ondskap lurer Her ved trollheims muldne grind Fortumlet av dette mørke byggverk Med røvet gull fra lysets pakt Brukt som spott til å senke Deres murer Vi grunder over dette riket Så vakkert fylt med tidløs skumring Som en stjerne i tomsindighetens juv Det bringer frem en nattlig mimring Over tanker fra en vissen tid Drott til himmels er det reist Av tidens endeløse svarte minner Stormblåst ut av det sorte indre Har bergflint rullet fra mo til kneis Undring og angst samler seg i natten I mørket som ruver om spiret For ingen dag kan veien Intet lys kan luske frem Der sorg har beseiret all glede Og bygd et land på menneskets jord Fylt med iskald prakt og heder |

En høyreist ridder vender hjem Over himmel til himmel på en selvgjort bro Fra den endelige tvekamp mot lysets prest For nå til sist å gå til ro Se der i fjellbrisens indre Hvor dets liv har søkt ly for en sol Som omsider vil mørkne med den evige natt Og hindre en verden i å blomstre og gro Se der i øyets satire Hvor rester av godhet jages på flukt Og vindes vekk i en åpen grav Til den siste tenning av lys er slukket Med kraftige hugg i menneske skaller Frydes den rytter i årvåken dis Himmelhøyt - vandrende over sin stjerne Skottende på en jord dekket i is Over utallige faldne menn Som sådde livets spirende korn Streifer han vekk fra den siste krig Den mektigste fyrste, den blodige torn |

Dø i natt! Jeg skal flerre din sjel i to! Du skal føle makten jeg har fått av mørket! Din tid er omme! Også din tro! ...også din tro...! Be om nåde du stakkars faen Og min latter skal atter runge Høyt i nattens kulde Der frosten fryser din siste Tåre... Svake kristne! Du døde i natt! Med et kraftig hugg tok jeg din skall! Du fikk føle makten jeg har fått av mørket! Endelig kjenner du Dødsriket kaller |

Gjennom tidløse morkne drømmer I fuktig høstvind over langstrakte vidder Mot Sorias fjellheim Kommer jeg, en fandens ridder Glatt er runen på det høye fjell Gnidd vekk av regn og vind Dragende kraft av ondskap lurer Her ved trollheims muldne grind Fortumlet av dette mørke byggverk Med røvet gull fra lysets pakt Brukt som spott til å senke Deres murer Vi grunder over dette riket Så vakkert fylt med tidløs skumring Som en stjerne i tomsindighetens juv Det bringer frem en nattlig mimring Over tanker fra en vissen tid Drott til himmels er det reist Av tidens endeløse svarte minner Stormblåst ut av det sorte indre Har bergflint rullet fra mo til kneis Undring og angst samler seg i natten I mørket som ruver om spiret For ingen dag kan veien Intet lys kan luske frem Der sorg har beseiret all glede Og bygd et land på menneskets jord Fylt med iskald prakt og heder |

7. | Dødsferd | 05:42 | Show lyrics |
I det mørkeste mørke Troner jeg I mine saler trer Tausheten frem Faldne engler vokter mine porter I dødsdalens øde skjønnhet Har min sjel vandret vill Mens mørket og sorgen rådet Tentes hatets flammende ild I nattens sorte stillhet Trer min tause frem I mørket brenner et likbål nok en sort sjel har vendt hjem I mångfald følger vi ferden Til vår nattsvarte bror Og ingen tårer felles Når aske forenes med jord Vi skal alle dele hans skjebne vi skal alle følge vår venn Da Dommedag’s klokker ringer Skal vi alle komme igjen For å herske |

8. | Antikrist | 03:36 | Show lyrics |
Stig opp på min trone av bleke lik Fall på kne i ærbødighet for min skikkelse Ta imot mitt kalde kyss på din panne Veien som leder til Helvete er klar Løft eders sverd til kamp, stolte menn La massakren begynne i dag Hogg hodet av hver kristen og lemlest deres kvinner og barn Hvert kristenkors skal der vendes om Hver en bygning som bærer guds navn skal brennes Hver en kristenmanns grav skal der skjendes Hver en natt skal du våke, menneskedyr og kjenne blodhungeren, brenne som en ild Hver natt du streifer sjeleløst i anger og utslette hvert tegn du ser til liv Hør min tale, menneskedyr Mine ord er eders visdom Jeg er Satans legemliggjørelse Jeg er din fremtid Jeg er ondskapelsen Jeg er Antikrist |

9. | Vinder fra en ensom grav | 04:00 | Show lyrics |
En høyreist ridder vender hjem Over himmel til himmel på en selvgjort bro Fra den endelige tvekamp mot lysets prest For nå til sist å gå til ro Se der i fjellbrisens indre Hvor dets liv har søkt ly for en sol Som omsider vil mørkne med den evige natt Og hindre en verden i å blomstre og gro Se der i øyets satire Hvor rester av godhet jages på flukt Og vindes vekk i en åpen grav Til den siste tenning av lys er slukket Med kraftige hugg i menneske skaller Frydes den rytter i årvåken dis Himmelhøyt - vandrende over sin stjerne Skottende på en jord dekket i is Over utallige faldne menn Som sådde livets spirende korn Streifer han vekk fra den siste krig Den mektigste fyrste, den blodige torn |

10. | Guds fortapelse - åpenbaring av dommedag | 04:01 | Show lyrics |
Hengitt er vi Til Mørkets keiser Den allmektige kraft Som Fører vårt sinn I kamp Mot godhetens løgn Dog fiendens hær er fattig Er den stor Men vi skal ta dem alle Og hente dem inn En etter en Det håp de ser i liv Skal forsvinne i et hav av torner De torner av deres falske frelser Engang følte spikret til sin skalle Himmelen skal rakne Og en fandens torden skal buldre og brake Hans krefter vil røyne Der Mørkes front Beseiret lysets pest Øyne vil renne i sorg Når de innser (at) deres gud ikke lenger kan hjelpe Det håp de så i gud Er svunnet og vekk for alltid De følger nå sin falske frelser Som fortsatt er bærer av en krone Med torner Men konge ble han aldri |

11. | Avmaktslave | 03:54 | Show lyrics |
Stanken fra den uransaklige vei Hvor forkynnelse og falsk forhåpning er åte Trenger igjennom som en bitterhetens gave Og befrukter den menneskelige råte Som en slave i avmakthetens tilstand Råder ei annet enn nederlagsbekjennelse Retrett Du har ei livets rett Retrett Du har ei livets rett For ignoreres Dyret og idolets tegn Vil straff omsider den skyldige bifalle Denne fromme paktens skadelige innavl Søker tilflukt i edens hage Hvorpå en stolt, ren og rakrygget herre Ikke like lett lar seg belage Retrett Du har ei livets rett Retrett Du har ei livets rett Så når dommedagstorden endelig runger Kan menneskets fantasibilde avdukes Alle og enhver med gudfryktig hunger Vil tape ansikt og slukes |

Have I not been too long in your shadows of invention and creation? As I rightfully behold the flesh, fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away. My word and world holds ground and is real! Your world is like floods of poisoned water, a language spoken with spit from different tongues. It all seems like an eternity This battle between us two. Good and evil, me and you! Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. My word and world holds ground and is real! Your world is like floods of poisoned water, a language spoken with spit from different tongues. You can never corrupt me again! Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. You can never corrupt me again! I protect every man guilty of sin, the ultimate sin being me. The vapor from the plague that infested my mind, body and soul obscured my view from wisdom. The mist that had me wonder in resentment cleared and troubles me no more. Have I not been too long in your shadows of invention and creation? As I rightfully behold the flesh, fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away. |

Hence I will anoint And whisper wholeheartedly The creed of Hades and beyond As I succumb to inevitable sin For I can not enslave myself With imaginary words of salvation The hypocrisy that surrounds my temple Is assisted by pretenders to the throne The winds that blow purity Signily my chosen legacy I was born in opposition A contender to creation In sorte diaboli In sorte diaboli In sorte diaboli In sorte diaboli For my sins I will ask no forgiveness For my sins They are not to forgive So never speak of me quietly Stand by my confession I voice your rebellion Against the traitor of the world I am the first creature of this Kingdom I will be The One To outlive His time With the triumph of free will |

Have I not been too long in your shadows of invention and creation? As I rightfully behold the flesh, fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away. My word and world holds ground and is real! Your world is like floods of poisoned water, a language spoken with spit from different tongues. It all seems like an eternity This battle between us two. Good and evil, me and you! Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. My word and world holds ground and is real! Your world is like floods of poisoned water, a language spoken with spit from different tongues. You can never corrupt me again! Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. You can never corrupt me again! I protect every man guilty of sin, the ultimate sin being me. The vapor from the plague that infested my mind, body and soul obscured my view from wisdom. The mist that had me wonder in resentment cleared and troubles me no more. Have I not been too long in your shadows of invention and creation? As I rightfully behold the flesh, fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away. |

Why did He not understand? One time forsaken But forgotten I am not I will win this war But never the peace I am my own free spirit Hence I will not rest |

Sparks fly and fire licks my wings Tied to this wood - I was born for burning I rebelled against the flock Declined to submit to slavery As a token from my legions of the chosen few I reveal the secrets to the world’s most famous forgery As flames devour my skin Flesh melting - peeling off My days as a northbound entity Are outnumbered and have come to an end I will never be laid to rest But be free from oppression Those of my kin - the black flame Those of my sin - hail my name Those of us that have been given eyes to see Will never be laid to rest but be free From oppression In this hour I finally separate Carnal knowledge from divine will In this hour I finally separate Myself from your tyranny Still our enemies will keep hiding In the shadows with betrayal against reason But with my reprisal I shall endure And uncover the magnitude of this treason I will arise from perdition And let my presence known I will author a new era And have my Beast shown My stigma is of damnation I am from beyond your God |

My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair Evoked and entertained through centuries Wrathful and sullen--dormant still The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastard sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My decent is the story of everyman My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair Reconcile not with the fear of the snake But embrace it as your own Inject it’s venom into your veins And replant the seed that gives growth Still shrouded in mystery Until you arise above perception A veil of ignorance is in motion Continuing throughout generations A veil of ignorance is in motion Continuing throughout multiple generations let me be the one that deliver you from the deceit And back into perfect accordance with the laws of nature The snake is notoriously tempting But the snake is fair What is worse than not knowing? To live or disappear? The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastard sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice |

2. | The Chosen Legacy | 04:16 | Show lyrics |
Hence I will anoint And whisper wholeheartedly The creed of Hades and beyond As I succumb to inevitable sin For I can not enslave myself With imaginary words of salvation The hypocrisy that surrounds my temple Is assisted by pretenders to the throne The winds that blow purity Signily my chosen legacy I was born in opposition A contender to creation In sorte diaboli In sorte diaboli In sorte diaboli In sorte diaboli For my sins I will ask no forgiveness For my sins They are not to forgive So never speak of me quietly Stand by my confession I voice your rebellion Against the traitor of the world I am the first creature of this Kingdom I will be The One To outlive His time With the triumph of free will |

3. | The Conspiracy Unfolds | 05:23 | Show lyrics |
Fallen I have, fallen I am Cursed and destined to burn Fallen I have, fallen I am Cursed and destined to burn My loyalty towards a liar ceased to exist Once misled by an empty fraudulent face I will never turn my back on you And deceive the flesh of our race I will always speak truly So you can understand No riddles that manipulate The words and symbols of Man Do not believe false promises Conspiring to cover up the truth Find sollace in darkness within yourself And have your legions unleashed Do not withhold the air Of your very last breath In the end of days You will transcend life and death Let the one who is fit Be the King Of the heavens above And all worlds down below |

4. | The Sacrilegious Scorn | 03:58 | Show lyrics |
Have I not been too long in your shadows of invention and creation? As I rightfully behold the flesh, fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away. My word and world holds ground and is real! Your world is like floods of poisoned water, a language spoken with spit from different tongues. It all seems like an eternity This battle between us two. Good and evil, me and you! Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. My word and world holds ground and is real! Your world is like floods of poisoned water, a language spoken with spit from different tongues. You can never corrupt me again! Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. You can never corrupt me again! I protect every man guilty of sin, the ultimate sin being me. The vapor from the plague that infested my mind, body and soul obscured my view from wisdom. The mist that had me wonder in resentment cleared and troubles me no more. Have I not been too long in your shadows of invention and creation? As I rightfully behold the flesh, fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away. |

Sparks fly and fire licks my wings Tied to this wood - I was born for burning I rebelled against the flock Declined to submit to slavery As a token from my legions of the chosen few I reveal the secrets to the world’s most famous forgery As flames devour my skin Flesh melting - peeling off My days as a northbound entity Are outnumbered and have come to an end I will never be laid to rest But be free from oppression Those of my kin - the black flame Those of my sin - hail my name Those of us that have been given eyes to see Will never be laid to rest but be free From oppression In this hour I finally separate Carnal knowledge from divine will In this hour I finally separate Myself from your tyranny Still our enemies will keep hiding In the shadows with betrayal against reason But with my reprisal I shall endure And uncover the magnitude of this treason I will arise from perdition And let my presence known I will author a new era And have my Beast shown My stigma is of damnation I am from beyond your God |

1. | The Serpentine Offering | 05:09 | Show lyrics |
My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair Evoked and entertained through centuries Wrathful and sullen--dormant still The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastard sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My decent is the story of everyman My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair Reconcile not with the fear of the snake But embrace it as your own Inject it’s venom into your veins And replant the seed that gives growth Still shrouded in mystery Until you arise above perception A veil of ignorance is in motion Continuing throughout generations A veil of ignorance is in motion Continuing throughout multiple generations let me be the one that deliver you from the deceit And back into perfect accordance with the laws of nature The snake is notoriously tempting But the snake is fair What is worse than not knowing? To live or disappear? The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastard sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice |

2. | The Chosen Legacy | 04:16 | Show lyrics |
Hence I will anoint And whisper wholeheartedly The creed of Hades and beyond As I succumb to inevitable sin For I can not enslave myself With imaginary words of salvation The hypocrisy that surrounds my temple Is assisted by pretenders to the throne The winds that blow purity Signily my chosen legacy I was born in opposition A contender to creation In sorte diaboli In sorte diaboli In sorte diaboli In sorte diaboli For my sins I will ask no forgiveness For my sins They are not to forgive So never speak of me quietly Stand by my confession I voice your rebellion Against the traitor of the world I am the first creature of this Kingdom I will be The One To outlive His time With the triumph of free will |

3. | The Conspiracy Unfolds | 05:23 | Show lyrics |
Fallen I have, fallen I am Cursed and destined to burn Fallen I have, fallen I am Cursed and destined to burn My loyalty towards a liar ceased to exist Once misled by an empty fraudulent face I will never turn my back on you And deceive the flesh of our race I will always speak truly So you can understand No riddles that manipulate The words and symbols of Man Do not believe false promises Conspiring to cover up the truth Find sollace in darkness within yourself And have your legions unleashed Do not withhold the air Of your very last breath In the end of days You will transcend life and death Let the one who is fit Be the King Of the heavens above And all worlds down below |

4. | The Sacrilegious Scorn | 03:58 | Show lyrics |
Have I not been too long in your shadows of invention and creation? As I rightfully behold the flesh, fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away. My word and world holds ground and is real! Your world is like floods of poisoned water, a language spoken with spit from different tongues. It all seems like an eternity This battle between us two. Good and evil, me and you! Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. My word and world holds ground and is real! Your world is like floods of poisoned water, a language spoken with spit from different tongues. You can never corrupt me again! Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. You can never corrupt me again! I protect every man guilty of sin, the ultimate sin being me. The vapor from the plague that infested my mind, body and soul obscured my view from wisdom. The mist that had me wonder in resentment cleared and troubles me no more. Have I not been too long in your shadows of invention and creation? As I rightfully behold the flesh, fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away. |

My eyes got blinded And conned by the light Like a fugitive on the run I sought perseverance in the night Deceptive icons were finally Taken out of my sight As the contender to origin I will forever unveil His might They say I am the cancer On the back of the Inquisition I may well be the cancer On the heart of the Inquisition They say I am the cancer On the back of the Inquisition I am the cancer On the heart of the Inquisition Through my years of sacrifice Evolution came with lessons learned Respect and fear Is what I earned So underestimate not your vision Or you will be taught Calculate your intuition And you will teach You have all been conned And I always take the blame For you do not understand You are all the same |

My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair Evoked and entertained through centuries Wrathful and sullen--dormant still The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastard sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My decent is the story of everyman My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair Reconcile not with the fear of the snake But embrace it as your own Inject it’s venom into your veins And replant the seed that gives growth Still shrouded in mystery Until you arise above perception A veil of ignorance is in motion Continuing throughout generations A veil of ignorance is in motion Continuing throughout multiple generations let me be the one that deliver you from the deceit And back into perfect accordance with the laws of nature The snake is notoriously tempting But the snake is fair What is worse than not knowing? To live or disappear? The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastard sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice |

Hence I will anoint And whisper wholeheartedly The creed of Hades and beyond As I succumb to inevitable sin For I can not enslave myself With imaginary words of salvation The hypocrisy that surrounds my temple Is assisted by pretenders to the throne The winds that blow purity Signily my chosen legacy I was born in opposition A contender to creation In sorte diaboli In sorte diaboli In sorte diaboli In sorte diaboli For my sins I will ask no forgiveness For my sins They are not to forgive So never speak of me quietly Stand by my confession I voice your rebellion Against the traitor of the world I am the first creature of this Kingdom I will be The One To outlive His time With the triumph of free will |

4. | The Sacrilegious Scorn | 03:58 | Show lyrics |
Have I not been too long in your shadows of invention and creation? As I rightfully behold the flesh, fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away. My word and world holds ground and is real! Your world is like floods of poisoned water, a language spoken with spit from different tongues. It all seems like an eternity This battle between us two. Good and evil, me and you! Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. My word and world holds ground and is real! Your world is like floods of poisoned water, a language spoken with spit from different tongues. You can never corrupt me again! Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. Time has come to step up and take back what you took from me. You can never corrupt me again! I protect every man guilty of sin, the ultimate sin being me. The vapor from the plague that infested my mind, body and soul obscured my view from wisdom. The mist that had me wonder in resentment cleared and troubles me no more. Have I not been too long in your shadows of invention and creation? As I rightfully behold the flesh, fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away. |

Sparks fly and fire licks my wings Tied to this wood - I was born for burning I rebelled against the flock Declined to submit to slavery As a token from my legions of the chosen few I reveal the secrets to the world’s most famous forgery As flames devour my skin Flesh melting - peeling off My days as a northbound entity Are outnumbered and have come to an end I will never be laid to rest But be free from oppression Those of my kin - the black flame Those of my sin - hail my name Those of us that have been given eyes to see Will never be laid to rest but be free From oppression In this hour I finally separate Carnal knowledge from divine will In this hour I finally separate Myself from your tyranny Still our enemies will keep hiding In the shadows with betrayal against reason But with my reprisal I shall endure And uncover the magnitude of this treason I will arise from perdition And let my presence known I will author a new era And have my Beast shown My stigma is of damnation I am from beyond your God |

The battle raged on and on Fuelled by the venom of hatred for man Consistently, without the eyes to see By those who revel in sewer equally We, the prosperity of the future seal Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind Born to capture the essence of The trails of our kind Zero tolerance must be issued forth Behind the enemy’s line So it shall be written And so it shall be done (repeat 1st and 2nd verse) Discover and conceive the secret wealth And pass it unto your breed Become your own congregation Measure the sovereignty of it’s invigoration We, who not deny the animal of our nature We, who yearn to preserve our liberation We, who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire We, who aspire to the truth and pursue it’s strength Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare Fearing all the mediocrity that they possess Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might Reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours Consider the god we could be without the grace Once and for all Diminish the sub principle and leave it’s toxic trace Once and for all |

Minnenes ekko stiller timen Kneblet i tungsinnets lenker faller jeg ifra Ikke lenger vil jeg være boltet fast i vemodighetens anker Men endelig få lengselen slukket - Etter å dra Drakk jeg for meget av livhåpets krus Tok jeg gledens forfengelighet for gitt For min strid mot tomhetens smerte - Denne dødsangstens rus Er det eneste ene igjen - Som er mitt I min ensomhet vet jeg likevel At jeg ikke har noen andre å takke enn meg selv Derfor er jeg rolig når Repet strammes rundt min nakke Stumme vitner kan ei gi trøst Menigmann i gravkorets forsamling vil aldri fatte Det landet av fortapelse Jeg egenhendig skapte Denne intense dragning mot dødens portaler (Har jeg som) En vandrende studie i gråtkvalt messe-noir Behersket siden tidenes morgen Men noe jeg aldri lot slippe taket - Var sorgen |

7. | The Insight and the Catharsis | 07:15 | Show lyrics |
Passenger on confessional course Unlock with the key you behold within Repair the shadow of your mind And come awake "Oh, dreadful angel of mine Enrich me with the vastness of being Rigid father, teach me to comprehend I’ll commit myself to understand To be faithful and the instrument So that the ones with blindfold can see what i have seen That there is nothing inbetween For i am the accomplice..." Aghast and tender, indulged in sin Embraced by loneliness, legions who grin I blunder into the realms of slumber I collide with the obscure And see the last fraction of light go by Plundering the sanity from the insane And providing appearances in black Carefully swept in decadent spheres But faces in this world always remain darkened In circles of dominance, emotional deeps unite Fiction and transcendence woven together In the essence of purity lies wisdom Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions What more do you need of proof Human hands conforming clooven hoofs For i know the secrets and lies behind all truths Knowlege is power and the power is mine It’s all mine So let the children come to me And share the limitless ways to infinity Escape death and disease And behold youth and vitality |

As I rightfully behold the flesh Fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away My word and world holds ground and is real Your world is like floods of poisoned water A language spoken with spit from different tongues It all seems like an eternity This battle between us two "Good and evil" Me and you Time has come to step up And take back what you took from me My word and world holds ground and is real Your world is like floods of poisoned water A language spoken with spit from different tongues You can never corrupt me again Your world is like floods of poisoned water A language spoken with spit from different tongues You can never corrupt me again I protect every man guilty of sin The ultimate sin being me The vapor from the plague That infested my mind, body and soul Obscured my view from wisdom The mist that had me wonder in resentment cleared And troubles me no more |

Daylight has finally reached it’s end As evenfall strikes into the sky Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight Sickening souls cry out in pain Whispering voices summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace Feel the gloom of restless spirits Hear the screams from the Mouring Palace Feel the doom of haunting chants Eternal is their lives in misery Eternal is their lives in grief Abandoned in a void of nothingness A chain of anger, a fetter of despair In this garden of depraved beings This unsacred place of helpless ones Satan blessed the creatures Inswathed them in endless night Whispering voices, summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness |

Infected by invalid behaviour While capturing the stench of divine putrefaction Confess to slavery for the world saviour Give praise and inhale the corruption (chorus:) The Enfeebled provides the fool The Disabled provides the tool The Apathetic demands the affection To those suffering from their own satisfaction Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague Testify today´s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter The decrepit innocence of your correctness and well-chosen Elicits the source of the need for immediate forgiveness Submit to no grace but the spiteful of your disease Apply to join the unlimited disgrace and a settlement in the skies And turn the confusion among your children into self-stimulation The incarnation of your prostitution, the true Evil in disguise With the ignorance from your cross as the witness The truth of your tragedy make you justice In your mirror the high spirit of kindness Looks like malice Condemnation of life by the living dead What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core How unfortunate I am, cursed to spend time on a battle already won The shame that will be guarding your grave says it all Retreat to the crypt and make it worthwhile Recall my sins furthermore but still be watching yours with a smile |

Are you born from the abyss And have you sought the creed That drape the shadows Of your own thought? Is your heart mesmerized By the fire that burns forevermore And do the secrets from the flames Hold the mysteries over which you preside? Reveal the infantile wound and regain strength Free your spirit from those who lead in praise Recollect the anger and the hate For not shall your morals dissolve in pity Righteous warmth accompanied By deceitful tongues Stay away from processed promises Let them fear what you know A malicious smile on their lips To keep us all under control Now it’s time to rise and demand our due The whores and their illusions left us bitter and cold Drench them in their own poison, spit back the scorn of their ways Out win their defect morality, and the words they pray Consolidate the troops and expose the lies in their eyes The ones deprived from the ecstasy that binds the neglect Better lead than being led, earn any victory For you stand superior above the plague and it’s mass The burden of proof rests on your shoulders (repeat 1st and 2nd verse) |

Incarnated marvels simplified Effects from such a disconsolate kind Impotence of the once so perfect living Erase and rewind Stand rigid for the next battle Peace means reloading your guns The love for life is all hatred in disguise A carnival creation with masks undone In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as virulent truth Confidently dawned, to pick the best of enemies An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate (chorus:) With the stigma feasting upon your flesh I wish you well Thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our planet hell What on earth possessed you Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface And enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect With such bedevilled faith in good, subsequently trusting evil Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin Left are the kings of the carnival creation Carrying out the echoes of the fallen Sense the withering eternity as it fades away The ultimate graceless voyage of all times Only death will be guarding your angels, silently Cripples joining arms in clamour Institutionalized for the rebirth, the herd will be hunted |

Langt...der borte i mørket Gjennom tretopper der månelys driver Langt...der borte i all tåke Inn gjennom min sjel den sorte angst river På de mosegrodde steiner de seg viser Når nattemørket har senket seg over Ekkoene...fra deres grufulle jamring Endeløst...du kan høre I horisonten langt vekk Skimtes den sigende skådde Horder av ild rider månelyset i flokk Ved daggry de samles ved en bortgjemt ådde Den iskalde snøen Har kommet Denne gang I evig fokk |

Have I not Been too long in your shadows of invention and creation?

Daylight has finally reached it’s end As evenfall strikes into the sky Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight Sickening souls cry out in pain Whispering voices summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace Feel the gloom of restless spirits Hear the screams from the Mouring Palace Feel the doom of haunting chants Eternal is their lives in misery Eternal is their lives in grief Abandoned in a void of nothingness A chain of anger, a fetter of despair In this garden of depraved beings This unsacred place of helpless ones Satan blessed the creatures Inswathed them in endless night Whispering voices, summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness |

Are you born from the abyss And have you sought the creed That drape the shadows Of your own thought? Is your heart mesmerized By the fire that burns forevermore And do the secrets from the flames Hold the mysteries over which you preside? Reveal the infantile wound and regain strength Free your spirit from those who lead in praise Recollect the anger and the hate For not shall your morals dissolve in pity Righteous warmth accompanied By deceitful tongues Stay away from processed promises Let them fear what you know A malicious smile on their lips To keep us all under control Now it’s time to rise and demand our due The whores and their illusions left us bitter and cold Drench them in their own poison, spit back the scorn of their ways Out win their defect morality, and the words they pray Consolidate the troops and expose the lies in their eyes The ones deprived from the ecstasy that binds the neglect Better lead than being led, earn any victory For you stand superior above the plague and it’s mass The burden of proof rests on your shoulders (repeat 1st and 2nd verse) |

Are you born from the abyss And have you sought the creed That drape the shadows Of your own thought? Is your heart mesmerized By the fire that burns forevermore And do the secrets from the flames Hold the mysteries over which you preside? Reveal the infantile wound and regain strength Free your spirit from those who lead in praise Recollect the anger and the hate For not shall your morals dissolve in pity Righteous warmth accompanied By deceitful tongues Stay away from processed promises Let them fear what you know A malicious smile on their lips To keep us all under control Now it’s time to rise and demand our due The whores and their illusions left us bitter and cold Drench them in their own poison, spit back the scorn of their ways Out win their defect morality, and the words they pray Consolidate the troops and expose the lies in their eyes The ones deprived from the ecstasy that binds the neglect Better lead than being led, earn any victory For you stand superior above the plague and it’s mass The burden of proof rests on your shoulders (repeat 1st and 2nd verse) |

Is your heart mesmerized By the fire that burns forevermore And do the secrets from the flames Hold the mysteries over which you preside? Reveal the infantile wound and regain strength Free your spirit from those who lead in praise Recollect the anger and the hate For not shall your morals dissolve in pity Righteous warmth accompanied By deceitful tongues Stay away from processed promises Let them fear what you know A malicious smile on their lips To keep us all under control Now it’s time to rise and demand our due The whores and their illusions left us bitter and cold Drench them in their own poison, spit back the scorn of their ways Out win their defect morality, and the words they pray Consolidate the troops and expose the lies in their eyes The ones deprived from the ecstasy that binds the neglect Better lead than being led, earn any victory For you stand superior above the plague and it’s mass The burden of proof rests on your shoulders (repeat 1st and 2nd verse) |

Incarnated marvels simplified Effects from such a disconsolate kind Impotence of the once so perfect living Erase and rewind Stand rigid for the next battle Peace means reloading your guns The love for life is all hatred in disguise A carnival creation with masks undone In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as virulent truth Confidently dawned, to pick the best of enemies An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate (chorus:) With the stigma feasting upon your flesh I wish you well Thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our planet hell What on earth possessed you Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface And enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect With such bedevilled faith in good, subsequently trusting evil Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin Left are the kings of the carnival creation Carrying out the echoes of the fallen Sense the withering eternity as it fades away The ultimate graceless voyage of all times Only death will be guarding your angels, silently Cripples joining arms in clamour Institutionalized for the rebirth, the herd will be hunted |

Langt...der borte i mørket Gjennom tretopper der månelys driver Langt...der borte i all tåke Inn gjennom min sjel den sorte angst river På de mosegrodde steiner de seg viser Når nattemørket har senket seg over Ekkoene...fra deres grufulle jamring Endeløst...du kan høre I horisonten langt vekk Skimtes den sigende skådde Horder av ild rider månelyset i flokk Ved daggry de samles ved en bortgjemt ådde Den iskalde snøen Har kommet Denne gang I evig fokk |

Have I not Been too long in your shadows of invention and creation? As I rightfully behold the flesh Fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away My word and world holds ground and is real Your world is like floods of poisoned water A language spoken with spit from different tongues It all seems like an eternity This battle between us two "Good and evil" Me and you Time has come to step up And take back what you took from me My word and world holds ground and is real Your world is like floods of poisoned water A language spoken with spit from different tongues You can never corrupt me again Your world is like floods of poisoned water A language spoken with spit from different tongues You can never corrupt me again I protect every man guilty of sin The ultimate sin being me The vapor from the plague That infested my mind, body and soul Obscured my view from wisdom The mist that had me wonder in resentment cleared And troubles me no more |

Daylight has finally reached it’s end As evenfall strikes into the sky Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight Sickening souls cry out in pain Whispering voices summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace Feel the gloom of restless spirits Hear the screams from the Mouring Palace Feel the doom of haunting chants Eternal is their lives in misery Eternal is their lives in grief Abandoned in a void of nothingness A chain of anger, a fetter of despair In this garden of depraved beings This unsacred place of helpless ones Satan blessed the creatures Inswathed them in endless night Whispering voices, summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness |

Infected by invalid behaviour While capturing the stench of divine putrefaction Confess to slavery for the world saviour Give praise and inhale the corruption (chorus:) The Enfeebled provides the fool The Disabled provides the tool The Apathetic demands the affection To those suffering from their own satisfaction Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague Testify today´s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter The decrepit innocence of your correctness and well-chosen Elicits the source of the need for immediate forgiveness Submit to no grace but the spiteful of your disease Apply to join the unlimited disgrace and a settlement in the skies And turn the confusion among your children into self-stimulation The incarnation of your prostitution, the true Evil in disguise With the ignorance from your cross as the witness The truth of your tragedy make you justice In your mirror the high spirit of kindness Looks like malice Condemnation of life by the living dead What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core How unfortunate I am, cursed to spend time on a battle already won The shame that will be guarding your grave says it all Retreat to the crypt and make it worthwhile Recall my sins furthermore but still be watching yours with a smile |

Are you born from the abyss And have you sought the creed That drape the shadows Of your own thought? Is your heart mesmerized By the fire that burns forevermore And do the secrets from the flames Hold the mysteries over which you preside? Reveal the infantile wound and regain strength Free your spirit from those who lead in praise Recollect the anger and the hate For not shall your morals dissolve in pity Righteous warmth accompanied By deceitful tongues Stay away from processed promises Let them fear what you know A malicious smile on their lips To keep us all under control Now it’s time to rise and demand our due The whores and their illusions left us bitter and cold Drench them in their own poison, spit back the scorn of their ways Out win their defect morality, and the words they pray Consolidate the troops and expose the lies in their eyes The ones deprived from the ecstasy that binds the neglect Better lead than being led, earn any victory For you stand superior above the plague and it’s mass The burden of proof rests on your shoulders (repeat 1st and 2nd verse) |

Passenger on confessional course Unlock with the key you behold within Repair the shadow of your mind And come awake "Oh, dreadful angel of mine Enrich me with the vastness of being Rigid father, teach me to comprehend I’ll commit myself to understand To be faithful and the instrument So that the ones with blindfold can see what i have seen That there is nothing inbetween For i am the accomplice..." Aghast and tender, indulged in sin Embraced by loneliness, legions who grin I blunder into the realms of slumber I collide with the obscure And see the last fraction of light go by Plundering the sanity from the insane And providing appearances in black Carefully swept in decadent spheres But faces in this world always remain darkened In circles of dominance, emotional deeps unite Fiction and transcendence woven together In the essence of purity lies wisdom Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions What more do you need of proof Human hands conforming clooven hoofs For i know the secrets and lies behind all truths Knowlege is power and the power is mine It’s all mine So let the children come to me And share the limitless ways to infinity Escape death and disease And behold youth and vitality |

Aghast and tender, indulged in sin Embraced by loneliness, legions who grin I blunder into the realms of slumber I collide with the obscure And see the last fraction of light go by Plundering the sanity from the insane And providing appearances in black Carefully swept in decadent spheres But faces in this world always remain darkened In circles of dominance, emotional deeps unite Fiction and transcendence woven together In the essence of purity lies wisdom Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions What more do you need of proof Human hands conforming clooven hoofs For i know the secrets and lies behind all truths Knowlege is power and the power is mine It’s all mine So let the children come to me And share the limitless ways to infinity Escape death and disease And behold youth and vitality |

Langt...der borte i mørket Gjennom tretopper der månelys driver Langt...der borte i all tåke Inn gjennom min sjel den sorte angst river På de mosegrodde steiner de seg viser Når nattemørket har senket seg over Ekkoene...fra deres grufulle jamring Endeløst...du kan høre I horisonten langt vekk Skimtes den sigende skådde Horder av ild rider månelyset i flokk Ved daggry de samles ved en bortgjemt ådde Den iskalde snøen Har kommet Denne gang I evig fokk |

Are you born from the abyss And have you sought the creed That drape the shadows Of your own thought? Is your heart mesmerized By the fire that burns forevermore And do the secrets from the flames Hold the mysteries over which you preside? Reveal the infantile wound and regain strength Free your spirit from those who lead in praise Recollect the anger and the hate For not shall your morals dissolve in pity Righteous warmth accompanied By deceitful tongues Stay away from processed promises Let them fear what you know A malicious smile on their lips To keep us all under control Now it’s time to rise and demand our due The whores and their illusions left us bitter and cold Drench them in their own poison, spit back the scorn of their ways Out win their defect morality, and the words they pray Consolidate the troops and expose the lies in their eyes The ones deprived from the ecstasy that binds the neglect Better lead than being led, earn any victory For you stand superior above the plague and it’s mass The burden of proof rests on your shoulders (repeat 1st and 2nd verse) |

Illness and plagues, torture and blight Is what she brings Mocking holy standards, deceiving feeble fools Is what she loves Granted with powers, gifted with magic Watching the world through raven eyes Damned woman mischievous whore Heretic princess Devil’s own Her seductive elegance Excites your weak flesh Her diabolical beauty Enchants your bewildered mind You damn woman You mischievous whore You heretic princess You are Devil’s own (performing an ecstatic dance: ) A serenade made out of black magic She has learned to set souls afire And makes sure that you never Will leave it’s trance Her diabolical beauty Enchants your bewildered mind |

7. | The Serpentine Offering | 05:07 | Show lyrics |
My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair Evoked and entertained through centuries Wrathful and sullen - dormant still The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastard sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My decent is the story of everyman My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My decent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair Reconcile not with the fear of the snake But embrace it as your own Inject it’s venom into your veins And replant the seed that gives growth Still shrouded in mystery Until you arise above perception A veil of ignorance is in motion Continuing throughout generations A veil of ignorance is in motion Continuing throughout multiple generations Let me be the one that deliver you from the deceit And back into perfect accordance with the laws of nature The snake is notoriously tempting But the snake is fair What is worse than not knowing? To live or disappear? The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastard sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice |

8. | The Chosen Legacy | 04:25 | Show lyrics |
Hence I will anoint And whisper wholeheartedly The creed of Hades and beyond As I succumb to inevitable sin For I can not enslave myself With imaginary words of salvation The hypocrisy that surrounds my temple Is assisted by pretenders to the throne The winds that blow purity Signily my chosen legacy I was born in opposition A contender to creation In sorte diaboli In sorte diaboli In sorte diaboli In sorte diaboli For my sins I will ask no forgiveness For my sins They are not to forgive So never speak of me quietly Stand by my confession I voice your rebellion Against the traitor of the world I am the first creature of this Kingdom I will be The One To outlive His time With the triumph of free will |

9. | The Insight and the Catharsis | 07:01 | Show lyrics |
Passenger on confessional course Unlock with the key you behold within Repair the shadow of your mind And come awake "Oh, dreadful angel of mine Enrich me with the vastness of being Rigid father, teach me to comprehend I’ll commit myself to understand To be faithful and the instrument So that the ones with blindfold can see what i have seen That there is nothing inbetween For i am the accomplice..." Aghast and tender, indulged in sin Embraced by loneliness, legions who grin I blunder into the realms of slumber I collide with the obscure And see the last fraction of light go by Plundering the sanity from the insane And providing appearances in black Carefully swept in decadent spheres But faces in this world always remain darkened In circles of dominance, emotional deeps unite Fiction and transcendence woven together In the essence of purity lies wisdom Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions What more do you need of proof Human hands conforming clooven hoofs For i know the secrets and lies behind all truths Knowlege is power and the power is mine It’s all mine So let the children come to me And share the limitless ways to infinity Escape death and disease And behold youth and vitality |

You have returned to the torture-chambers To find peace among the rotting corpses You have returned to the execution place To inhale the smell of blood Death and terror rules the land We have been spellbound By the Devil You have returned to the hidden graves Only you know about You have returned to to face your victims And feel sensation of violence once again Death and terror rules the soul You have been spellbound By the Devil Murderer, you have returned To create fear and sorrow Death and terror rules the land We have been spellbound By the Devil |

11. | Mourning Palace | 05:52 | Show lyrics |
Daylight has finally reached it’s end As evenfall strikes into the sky Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight Sickening souls cry out in pain Whispering voices summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace Feel the gloom of restless spirits Hear the screams from the Mouring Palace Feel the doom of haunting chants Eternal is their lives in misery Eternal is their lives in grief Abandoned in a void of nothingness A chain of anger, a fetter of despair In this garden of depraved beings This unsacred place of helpless ones Satan blessed the creatures Inswathed them in endless night Whispering voices, summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness |

The core principle of freedom Is the only notion to obey The formulae of evolution and sin Leading the way The rebirth is near completion As we slowly awaken from slumber The malpractice of the spirit ends GATEWAYS! When the gift is once again attained GATEWAYS! No rules or restraints are longer valid GATEWAYS! When the ancient future is reclaimed GATEWAYS! It’s all there for the eyes that can see The blind ones will always suffer in secrecy For it is the omen Of what lies submerged - breeding Untouched within us - bleeding To receive the light that shines in darkness The light that shines forevermore Be the broken or the breaker Be the giver or the undertaker Unlock and open the doors Be the healer or the faker The keys are in your hands Realize you are your own sole creator Of your own masterplan |

2. | Born Treacherous | 05:02 | Show lyrics |
With defiance and resistance I burn the bridges and their names. Will I ever comprehend my own spells and games? Let me keep my world, let me have my slaves. They all do wonders for me so I can leave things be. Let me keep my world as I’m too blind to see. When I lay in bed at night wishing well, when I pray for recovery feeling Hell. Suffocating in my own filth with no fresh air to inhale. With defiance and resistance I burn the bridges and their names. Will I ever comprehend my own spells and games? Born treacherous... Insanity keeps me away and free from the core of responsibility but once the pace quickens I’ll be derived from myself in total mind captivity. Let me keep my world, let me have my slaves. Let me keep my world, let me have my slaves. They all do wonders for me so I can leave things be. Let me keep my world as I’m too blind to see. Born treacherous... |

Old dreams return Disillusioned I yearn Am I buried beneath sand and clay? The caress of cold soil With limbs crippled to the coil Locked inside a nightmare womb Tarnished and grief stricken Emptiness within a void Longing for the sun to shine To discourage the demonoid Salvation! Darkness reborn! We seem to keep fading away Holding on to that last final sway A doctrine of self salvation Darkness reborn on resurrection day? Stagnating in dead waters While circling above the surface Of the deep pale desert sea Cutting that other life of lines Salvation! Wish we’d never met Salvation! And rather gone our separate ways Salvation! All times spent together Salvation! Are the darkest of days Salvation! Darkness reborn! |

Forces of the northern light - Assemble Forces of the northern night - Call to arms Summoned by the secrets of sacrifice Meeting destiny on the road we took to avoid it As we only compete with ourselves Left is that of a confident union What bridge to cross and what bridge to burn Deceit is everywhere you turn We weed out the weak and their weep Evolving - Compulsively Behaving - Inconsistently Yet the pulse is pounding Restoration is the name For those who are left in the game Invocation in the name of our flame Dimmu Borgir! The deviants seek but one place Dimmu Borgir! Forward onward march! Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not With trickery and treat Enemies will face defeat No place for dreamers As our formation is lava Fire is with or against you And so it burns Constant retribution calling From the shadows of three consecutive sixes Merging with the cold dark vacuum Talent is worthless unless exercised "When the world is turning You’ll find your true nature When the first is last and the last is first You’ll be where you choose to be" Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not Fire is with or against you And so it burns |

Synthetic residue touched upon Scars and wounds frown upon While other wounds are closing Stars and losers reassemble Within thy own abyss Sought through internal pyre and wind Not ready to remember where to begin For another day is yet to come Before the night takes us home What will remain What will leave trace While travelling through Time and space Arcane perfection Arcane illumination Arcane perfection Sweeps away darkness of the old ways Arcane illumination Welcomes the birth of another Haunting visions dawn upon me While time is standing still Lost far beyond the imaginary Out of reach for the soul |

2. | Born Treacherous | 05:02 | Show lyrics |
With defiance and resistance I burn the bridges and their names. Will I ever comprehend my own spells and games? Let me keep my world, let me have my slaves. They all do wonders for me so I can leave things be. Let me keep my world as I’m too blind to see. When I lay in bed at night wishing well, when I pray for recovery feeling Hell. Suffocating in my own filth with no fresh air to inhale. With defiance and resistance I burn the bridges and their names. Will I ever comprehend my own spells and games? Born treacherous... Insanity keeps me away and free from the core of responsibility but once the pace quickens I’ll be derived from myself in total mind captivity. Let me keep my world, let me have my slaves. Let me keep my world, let me have my slaves. They all do wonders for me so I can leave things be. Let me keep my world as I’m too blind to see. Born treacherous... |

3. | Gateways | 05:10 | Show lyrics |
The core principle of freedom is the only notion to obey, the formulae of evolution and sin leading the way. The rebirth is near completion as we slowly awaken from slumber. As we slowly awaken from slumber! Gateways... The malpractice of the spirit ends when the gift is once again attained, no rules or restraints are longer valid when the ancient future is reclaimed. Gateways... No rules or restraints are longer valid when the ancient future is reclaimed. It’s all there for the eyes that can see, the blind ones will always suffer in secrecy for it is the omen of what lies submerged breeding untouched within us bleeding. The core principle of freedom is the only notion to obey, the formulae of evolution and sin leading the way. The rebirth is near completion as we slowly awaken from slumber to receive the light that shines in darkness, the light that shines forevermore. Forevermore! Be the broken or the breaker, be the giver or the undertaker. Unlock and open the doors, be the healer or the faker. The keys are in your hands, realize you are your own sole creator of your own masterplan. |

4. | Chess with the Abyss | 04:08 | Show lyrics |
Old dreams return Disillusioned I yearn Am I buried beneath sand and clay? The caress of cold soil With limbs crippled to the coil Locked inside a nightmare womb Tarnished and grief stricken Emptiness within a void Longing for the sun to shine To discourage the demonoid Salvation! Darkness reborn! We seem to keep fading away Holding on to that last final sway A doctrine of self salvation Darkness reborn on resurrection day? Stagnating in dead waters While circling above the surface Of the deep pale desert sea Cutting that other life of lines Salvation! Wish we’d never met Salvation! And rather gone our separate ways Salvation! All times spent together Salvation! Are the darkest of days Salvation! Darkness reborn! |

Forces of the northern light - Assemble Forces of the northern night - Call to arms Summoned by the secrets of sacrifice Meeting destiny on the road we took to avoid it As we only compete with ourselves Left is that of a confident union What bridge to cross and what bridge to burn Deceit is everywhere you turn We weed out the weak and their weep Evolving - Compulsively Behaving - Inconsistently Yet the pulse is pounding Restoration is the name For those who are left in the game Invocation in the name of our flame Dimmu Borgir! The deviants seek but one place Dimmu Borgir! Forward onward march! Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not With trickery and treat Enemies will face defeat No place for dreamers As our formation is lava Fire is with or against you And so it burns Constant retribution calling From the shadows of three consecutive sixes Merging with the cold dark vacuum Talent is worthless unless exercised "When the world is turning You’ll find your true nature When the first is last and the last is first You’ll be where you choose to be" Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not Fire is with or against you And so it burns |

2. | Born Treacherous | 05:02 | Show lyrics |
With defiance and resistance I burn the bridges and their names. Will I ever comprehend my own spells and games? Let me keep my world, let me have my slaves. They all do wonders for me so I can leave things be. Let me keep my world as I’m too blind to see. When I lay in bed at night wishing well, when I pray for recovery feeling Hell. Suffocating in my own filth with no fresh air to inhale. With defiance and resistance I burn the bridges and their names. Will I ever comprehend my own spells and games? Born treacherous... Insanity keeps me away and free from the core of responsibility but once the pace quickens I’ll be derived from myself in total mind captivity. Let me keep my world, let me have my slaves. Let me keep my world, let me have my slaves. They all do wonders for me so I can leave things be. Let me keep my world as I’m too blind to see. Born treacherous... |

3. | Gateways | 05:10 | Show lyrics |
The core principle of freedom is the only notion to obey, the formulae of evolution and sin leading the way. The rebirth is near completion as we slowly awaken from slumber. As we slowly awaken from slumber! Gateways... The malpractice of the spirit ends when the gift is once again attained, no rules or restraints are longer valid when the ancient future is reclaimed. Gateways... No rules or restraints are longer valid when the ancient future is reclaimed. It’s all there for the eyes that can see, the blind ones will always suffer in secrecy for it is the omen of what lies submerged breeding untouched within us bleeding. The core principle of freedom is the only notion to obey, the formulae of evolution and sin leading the way. The rebirth is near completion as we slowly awaken from slumber to receive the light that shines in darkness, the light that shines forevermore. Forevermore! Be the broken or the breaker, be the giver or the undertaker. Unlock and open the doors, be the healer or the faker. The keys are in your hands, realize you are your own sole creator of your own masterplan. |

4. | Chess with the Abyss | 04:08 | Show lyrics |
Old dreams return Disillusioned I yearn Am I buried beneath sand and clay? The caress of cold soil With limbs crippled to the coil Locked inside a nightmare womb Tarnished and grief stricken Emptiness within a void Longing for the sun to shine To discourage the demonoid Salvation! Darkness reborn! We seem to keep fading away Holding on to that last final sway A doctrine of self salvation Darkness reborn on resurrection day? Stagnating in dead waters While circling above the surface Of the deep pale desert sea Cutting that other life of lines Salvation! Wish we’d never met Salvation! And rather gone our separate ways Salvation! All times spent together Salvation! Are the darkest of days Salvation! Darkness reborn! |

Forces of the northern light - Assemble Forces of the northern night - Call to arms Summoned by the secrets of sacrifice Meeting destiny on the road we took to avoid it As we only compete with ourselves Left is that of a confident union What bridge to cross and what bridge to burn Deceit is everywhere you turn We weed out the weak and their weep Evolving - Compulsively Behaving - Inconsistently Yet the pulse is pounding Restoration is the name For those who are left in the game Invocation in the name of our flame Dimmu Borgir! The deviants seek but one place Dimmu Borgir! Forward onward march! Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not With trickery and treat Enemies will face defeat No place for dreamers As our formation is lava Fire is with or against you And so it burns Constant retribution calling From the shadows of three consecutive sixes Merging with the cold dark vacuum Talent is worthless unless exercised "When the world is turning You’ll find your true nature When the first is last and the last is first You’ll be where you choose to be" Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not Fire is with or against you And so it burns |

Moving forward with silence and rapid pace Ritualist! Since the horror dawned upon our immediate race Ritualist! The veil has once again been extracted Ritualist! From the mist that dimmed our eyes |

Synthetic residue touched upon Scars and wounds frown upon While other wounds are closing Stars and losers reassemble Within thy own abyss Sought through internal pyre and wind Not ready to remember where to begin For another day is yet to come Before the night takes us home What will remain What will leave trace While travelling through Time and space Arcane perfection Arcane illumination Arcane perfection Sweeps away darkness of the old ways Arcane illumination Welcomes the birth of another Haunting visions dawn upon me While time is standing still Lost far beyond the imaginary Out of reach for the soul |

Through moors and mists of deception The uninitiated are conjoined Illusive bliss feeds obsession A feeble orientation is provoked Inflammatory bonds will be broken Being the shepherd no more Yearning for that ever glowing token In ongoing lore Images appear before my eyes At any given time Burdened bearing all their lies Leaping laughter and secret smiles Inflammatory bonds will be broken Being the shepherd no more Yearning for that ever glowing token In ongoing lore The treasure lies not in regression But in reaching the levels of becoming That harboured within us for centuries Centuries of long lost knowing Spirit and matter defined Spirit and matter refined The upper planes accessed Insight and co-alliance addressed Spirit and matter defined Spirit and matter refined |

Just a night like any other night, Something just isn’t right. Tonight - Warm winds blowing. Moon glowing bright - tonight. Across the darkness till the time goes by, Clock keeps ticking. Abducted by fate. Use of force - Forced intercourse. Hate behind it all, Restraint - The dice will fall. Just a night like any other night, Something just isn’t right. Taking from her - Life - Tonight. Tearing down the wall, No feeling at all. Dead men don’t rape. Tonight won’t be the same. Time to end your painful game. I may be a man - But I’m no man like you, I believe in nothing you do. Lower than the shit, That flows from your ass. Finger flexes trigger, You feel the blast. Bullet rips - Ripping flesh, Ripping you - Nothing left. Open wide - Time to swallow your pride. Choke on your cock - How does it feel? Now you know the pain is real. I spit on your grave. As you lie there rotting. I shit on your grave, As maggots rape your body. Dead men don’t rape |

Can you remember remember my name As I flow through your life A thousand oceans I have flown And cold spirits of ice All my life I am the echo of your past I am returning the echo of a point in time Distant faces shine A thousand warriors I have known And laughing as the spirits appear All your life Shadows of another day And if you hear me talking on the wind You’ve got to understand We must remain Perfect Strangers I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow A strand of silver hanging through the sky Touching more than you see The voice of ages in your mind Is aching with the dead of the night Precious life (your tears are lost in falling rain) And if you hear me talking on the wind You’ve got to understand We must remain Perfect Strangers |

The rebirth is near completion as we slowly awaken from slumber to receive the light that shines in darkness, the light that shines forevermore. Forevermore! Be the broken or the breaker, be the giver or the undertaker. Unlock and open the doors, be the healer or the faker. The keys are in your hands, realize you are your own sole creator of your own masterplan. |

Old dreams return Disillusioned I yearn Am I buried beneath sand and clay? The caress of cold soil With limbs crippled to the coil Locked inside a nightmare womb Tarnished and grief stricken Emptiness within a void Longing for the sun to shine To discourage the demonoid Salvation! Darkness reborn! We seem to keep fading away Holding on to that last final sway A doctrine of self salvation Darkness reborn on resurrection day? Stagnating in dead waters While circling above the surface Of the deep pale desert sea Cutting that other life of lines Salvation! Wish we’d never met Salvation! And rather gone our separate ways Salvation! All times spent together Salvation! Are the darkest of days Salvation! Darkness reborn! |

The deviants seek but one place Dimmu Borgir! Forward onward march! Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not With trickery and treat Enemies will face defeat No place for dreamers As our formation is lava Fire is with or against you And so it burns Constant retribution calling From the shadows of three consecutive sixes Merging with the cold dark vacuum Talent is worthless unless exercised "When the world is turning You’ll find your true nature When the first is last and the last is first You’ll be where you choose to be" Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not Fire is with or against you And so it burns |

Just a night like any other night, Something just isn’t right. Tonight - Warm winds blowing. Moon glowing bright - tonight. Across the darkness till the time goes by, Clock keeps ticking. Abducted by fate. Use of force - Forced intercourse. Hate behind it all, Restraint - The dice will fall. Just a night like any other night, Something just isn’t right. Taking from her - Life - Tonight. Tearing down the wall, No feeling at all. Dead men don’t rape. Tonight won’t be the same. Time to end your painful game. I may be a man - But I’m no man like you, I believe in nothing you do. Lower than the shit, That flows from your ass. Finger flexes trigger, You feel the blast. Bullet rips - Ripping flesh, Ripping you - Nothing left. Open wide - Time to swallow your pride. Choke on your cock - How does it feel? Now you know the pain is real. I spit on your grave. As you lie there rotting. I shit on your grave, As maggots rape your body. Dead men don’t rape |

Old dreams return Disillusioned I yearn Am I buried beneath sand and clay? The caress of cold soil With limbs crippled to the coil Locked inside a nightmare womb Tarnished and grief stricken Emptiness within a void Longing for the sun to shine To discourage the demonoid Salvation! Darkness reborn! We seem to keep fading away Holding on to that last final sway A doctrine of self salvation Darkness reborn on resurrection day? Stagnating in dead waters While circling above the surface Of the deep pale desert sea Cutting that other life of lines Salvation! Wish we’d never met Salvation! And rather gone our separate ways Salvation! All times spent together Salvation! Are the darkest of days Salvation! Darkness reborn! |

Forces of the northern light - Assemble Forces of the northern night - Call to arms Summoned by the secrets of sacrifice Meeting destiny on the road we took to avoid it As we only compete with ourselves Left is that of a confident union What bridge to cross and what bridge to burn Deceit is everywhere you turn We weed out the weak and their weep Evolving - Compulsively Behaving - Inconsistently Yet the pulse is pounding Restoration is the name For those who are left in the game Invocation in the name of our flame Dimmu Borgir! The deviants seek but one place Dimmu Borgir! Forward onward march! Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not With trickery and treat Enemies will face defeat No place for dreamers As our formation is lava Fire is with or against you And so it burns Constant retribution calling From the shadows of three consecutive sixes Merging with the cold dark vacuum Talent is worthless unless exercised "When the world is turning You’ll find your true nature When the first is last and the last is first You’ll be where you choose to be" Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not Fire is with or against you And so it burns |

2. | Born Treacherous | 05:02 | Show lyrics |
With defiance and resistance I burn the bridges and their names. Will I ever comprehend my own spells and games? Let me keep my world, let me have my slaves. They all do wonders for me so I can leave things be. Let me keep my world as I’m too blind to see. When I lay in bed at night wishing well, when I pray for recovery feeling Hell. Suffocating in my own filth with no fresh air to inhale. With defiance and resistance I burn the bridges and their names. Will I ever comprehend my own spells and games? Born treacherous... Insanity keeps me away and free from the core of responsibility but once the pace quickens I’ll be derived from myself in total mind captivity. Let me keep my world, let me have my slaves. Let me keep my world, let me have my slaves. They all do wonders for me so I can leave things be. Let me keep my world as I’m too blind to see. Born treacherous... |

Suffocating in my own filth with no fresh air to inhale. With defiance and resistance I burn the bridges and their names. Will I ever comprehend my own spells and games? Born treacherous... Insanity keeps me away and free from the core of responsibility but once the pace quickens I’ll be derived from myself in total mind captivity. Let me keep my world, let me have my slaves. Let me keep my world, let me have my slaves. They all do wonders for me so I can leave things be. Let me keep my world as I’m too blind to see. Born treacherous... |

The core principle of freedom is the only notion to obey, the formulae of evolution and sin leading the way. The rebirth is near completion as we slowly awaken from slumber. As we slowly awaken from slumber! Gateways... The malpractice of the spirit ends when the gift is once again attained, no rules or restraints are longer valid when the ancient future is reclaimed. Gateways... No rules or restraints are longer valid when the ancient future is reclaimed. It’s all there for the eyes that can see, the blind ones will always suffer in secrecy for it is the omen of what lies submerged breeding untouched within us bleeding. The core principle of freedom is the only notion to obey, the formulae of evolution and sin leading the way. The rebirth is near completion as we slowly awaken from slumber to receive the light that shines in darkness, the light that shines forevermore. Forevermore! Be the broken or the breaker, be the giver or the undertaker. Unlock and open the doors, be the healer or the faker. The keys are in your hands, realize you are your own sole creator of your own masterplan. |

Old dreams return Disillusioned I yearn Am I buried beneath sand and clay? The caress of cold soil With limbs crippled to the coil Locked inside a nightmare womb Tarnished and grief stricken Emptiness within a void Longing for the sun to shine To discourage the demonoid Salvation! Darkness reborn! We seem to keep fading away Holding on to that last final sway A doctrine of self salvation Darkness reborn on resurrection day? Stagnating in dead waters While circling above the surface Of the deep pale desert sea Cutting that other life of lines Salvation! Wish we’d never met Salvation! And rather gone our separate ways Salvation! All times spent together Salvation! Are the darkest of days Salvation! Darkness reborn! |

Synthetic residue touched upon Scars and wounds frown upon While other wounds are closing Stars and losers reassemble Within thy own abyss Sought through internal pyre and wind Not ready to remember where to begin For another day is yet to come Before the night takes us home What will remain What will leave trace While travelling through Time and space Arcane perfection Arcane illumination Arcane perfection Sweeps away darkness of the old ways Arcane illumination Welcomes the birth of another Haunting visions dawn upon me While time is standing still Lost far beyond the imaginary Out of reach for the soul |

Incarnated marvels simplified Effects from such a disconsolate kind Impotence of the once so perfect living Erase and rewind Stand rigid for the next battle Peace means reloading your guns The love for life is all hatred in disguise A carnival creation with masks undone In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as virulent truth Confidently dawned, to pick the best of enemies An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate (chorus:) With the stigma feasting upon your flesh I wish you well Thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our planet hell What on earth possessed you Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface And enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect With such bedevilled faith in good, subsequently trusting evil Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin Left are the kings of the carnival creation Carrying out the echoes of the fallen Sense the withering eternity as it fades away The ultimate graceless voyage of all times Only death will be guarding your angels, silently Cripples joining arms in clamour Institutionalized for the rebirth, the herd will be hunted |

Incarnated marvels simplified Effects from such a disconsolate kind Impotence of the once so perfect living Erase and rewind Stand rigid for the next battle Peace means reloading your guns The love for life is all hatred in disguise A carnival creation with masks undone In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as virulent truth Confidently dawned, to pick the best of enemies An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate (chorus:) With the stigma feasting upon your flesh I wish you well Thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our planet hell What on earth possessed you Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface And enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect With such bedevilled faith in good, subsequently trusting evil Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin Left are the kings of the carnival creation Carrying out the echoes of the fallen Sense the withering eternity as it fades away The ultimate graceless voyage of all times Only death will be guarding your angels, silently Cripples joining arms in clamour Institutionalized for the rebirth, the herd will be hunted |

Daylight has finally reached its end As evenfall strikes into the sky Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight Sickening souls cry out in pain Whispering voices summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace Feel the gloom of restless spirits Hear the screams from the Mourning Palace Feel the doom of haunting chants Eternal is their lives in misery Eternal is their lives in grief Abandoned in a void of nothingness A chain of anger, a fetter of despair In this garden of depraved beings This unsacred place of helpless ones Satan blessed the creatures Inswathed them in endless night Whispering voices, summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness |

2. | Born Treacherous | 05:17 | Show lyrics |
With defiance and resistance I burn the bridges and their names Will I ever comprehend My own spells and games? Let me keep my world Let me have my slaves They all do wonders for me So I can leave things be Let me keep my world As I’m too blind to see When I lay in bed at night - Wishing well When I pray for recovery - Feeling hell Suffocating in my own filth With no fresh air to inhale Born treacherous! Insanity keeps me away and free From the core of responsibility But once the pace quickens I’ll be derived from myself In total mind captivity |

3. | Gateways | 05:28 | Show lyrics |
The core principle of freedom Is the only notion to obey The formulae of evolution and sin Leading the way The rebirth is near completion As we slowly awaken from slumber The malpractice of the spirit ends GATEWAYS! When the gift is once again attained GATEWAYS! No rules or restraints are longer valid GATEWAYS! When the ancient future is reclaimed GATEWAYS! It’s all there for the eyes that can see The blind ones will always suffer in secrecy For it is the omen Of what lies submerged - breeding Untouched within us - bleeding To receive the light that shines in darkness The light that shines forevermore Be the broken or the breaker Be the giver or the undertaker Unlock and open the doors Be the healer or the faker The keys are in your hands Realize you are your own sole creator Of your own masterplan |

Forces of the northern light - Assemble Forces of the northern night - Call to arms Summoned by the secrets of sacrifice Meeting destiny on the road we took to avoid it As we only compete with ourselves Left is that of a confident union What bridge to cross and what bridge to burn Deceit is everywhere you turn We weed out the weak and their weep Evolving - Compulsively Behaving - Inconsistently Yet the pulse is pounding Restoration is the name For those who are left in the game Invocation in the name of our flame Dimmu Borgir! The deviants seek but one place Dimmu Borgir! Forward onward march! Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not With trickery and treat Enemies will face defeat No place for dreamers As our formation is lava Fire is with or against you And so it burns Constant retribution calling From the shadows of three consecutive sixes Merging with the cold dark vacuum Talent is worthless unless exercised "When the world is turning You’ll find your true nature When the first is last and the last is first You’ll be where you choose to be" Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not Fire is with or against you And so it burns |

Old dreams return Disillusioned I yearn Am I buried beneath sand and clay? The caress of cold soil With limbs crippled to the coil Locked inside a nightmare womb Tarnished and grief stricken Emptiness within a void Longing for the sun to shine To discourage the demonoid Salvation! Darkness reborn! We seem to keep fading away Holding on to that last final sway A doctrine of self salvation Darkness reborn on resurrection day? Stagnating in dead waters While circling above the surface Of the deep pale desert sea Cutting that other life of lines Salvation! Wish we’d never met Salvation! And rather gone our separate ways Salvation! All times spent together Salvation! Are the darkest of days Salvation! Darkness reborn! |

Through moors and mists of deception The uninitiated are conjoined Illusive bliss feeds obsession A feeble orientation is provoked Inflammatory bonds will be broken Being the shepherd no more Yearning for that ever glowing token In ongoing lore Images appear before my eyes At any given time Burdened bearing all their lies Leaping laughter and secret smiles Inflammatory bonds will be broken Being the shepherd no more Yearning for that ever glowing token In ongoing lore The treasure lies not in regression But in reaching the levels of becoming That harboured within us for centuries Centuries of long lost knowing Spirit and matter defined Spirit and matter refined The upper planes accessed Insight and co-alliance addressed Spirit and matter defined Spirit and matter refined |

Incarnated marvels simplified Effects from such a disconsolate kind Impotence of the once so perfect living Erase and rewind Stand rigid for the next battle Peace means reloading your guns The love for life is all hatred in disguise A carnival creation with masks undone In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as virulent truth Confidently dawned, to pick the best of enemies An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate (chorus:) With the stigma feasting upon your flesh I wish you well Thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our planet hell What on earth possessed you Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface And enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect With such bedevilled faith in good, subsequently trusting evil Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin Left are the kings of the carnival creation Carrying out the echoes of the fallen Sense the withering eternity as it fades away The ultimate graceless voyage of all times Only death will be guarding your angels, silently Cripples joining arms in clamour Institutionalized for the rebirth, the herd will be hunted |

Daylight has finally reached its end As evenfall strikes into the sky Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight Sickening souls cry out in pain Whispering voices summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace Feel the gloom of restless spirits Hear the screams from the Mourning Palace Feel the doom of haunting chants Eternal is their lives in misery Eternal is their lives in grief Abandoned in a void of nothingness A chain of anger, a fetter of despair In this garden of depraved beings This unsacred place of helpless ones Satan blessed the creatures Inswathed them in endless night Whispering voices, summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness |

With defiance and resistance I burn the bridges and their names Will I ever comprehend My own spells and games? Let me keep my world Let me have my slaves They all do wonders for me So I can leave things be Let me keep my world As I’m too blind to see When I lay in bed at night - Wishing well When I pray for recovery - Feeling hell Suffocating in my own filth With no fresh air to inhale Born treacherous! Insanity keeps me away and free From the core of responsibility But once the pace quickens I’ll be derived from myself In total mind captivity |

It’s all there for the eyes that can see The blind ones will always suffer in secrecy For it is the omen Of what lies submerged - breeding Untouched within us - bleeding To receive the light that shines in darkness The light that shines forevermore Be the broken or the breaker Be the giver or the undertaker Unlock and open the doors Be the healer or the faker The keys are in your hands Realize you are your own sole creator Of your own masterplan |

To live or disappear? The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastard sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice |

2. | Born Treacherous | 05:09 | Show lyrics |
With defiance and resistance I burn the bridges and their names Will I ever comprehend My own spells and games? Let me keep my world Let me have my slaves They all do wonders for me So I can leave things be Let me keep my world As I’m too blind to see When I lay in bed at night - Wishing well When I pray for recovery - Feeling hell Suffocating in my own filth With no fresh air to inhale Born treacherous! Insanity keeps me away and free From the core of responsibility But once the pace quickens I’ll be derived from myself In total mind captivity |

The core principle of freedom Is the only notion to obey The formulae of evolution and sin Leading the way The rebirth is near completion As we slowly awaken from slumber The malpractice of the spirit ends GATEWAYS! When the gift is once again attained GATEWAYS! No rules or restraints are longer valid GATEWAYS! When the ancient future is reclaimed GATEWAYS! It’s all there for the eyes that can see The blind ones will always suffer in secrecy For it is the omen Of what lies submerged - breeding Untouched within us - bleeding To receive the light that shines in darkness The light that shines forevermore Be the broken or the breaker Be the giver or the undertaker Unlock and open the doors Be the healer or the faker The keys are in your hands Realize you are your own sole creator Of your own masterplan |

(Instrumental) Forces of the northern light - Assemble Forces of the northern night - Call to arms Summoned by the secrets of sacrifice Meeting destiny on the road we took to avoid it As we only compete with ourselves Left is that of a confident union What bridge to cross and what bridge to burn Deceit is everywhere you turn We weed out the weak and their weep Evolving - Compulsively Behaving - Inconsistently Yet the pulse is pounding Restoration is the name For those who are left in the game Invocation in the name of our flame Dimmu Borgir! The deviants seek but one place Dimmu Borgir! Forward onward march! Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not With trickery and treat Enemies will face defeat No place for dreamers As our formation is lava Fire is with or against you And so it burns Constant retribution calling From the shadows of three consecutive sixes Merging with the cold dark vacuum Talent is worthless unless exercised "When the world is turning You’ll find your true nature When the first is last and the last is first You’ll be where you choose to be" Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not Fire is with or against you And so it burns |

Old dreams return Disillusioned I yearn Am I buried beneath sand and clay? The caress of cold soil With limbs crippled to the coil Locked inside a nightmare womb Tarnished and grief stricken Emptiness within a void Longing for the sun to shine To discourage the demonoid Salvation! Darkness reborn! We seem to keep fading away Holding on to that last final sway A doctrine of self salvation Darkness reborn on resurrection day? Stagnating in dead waters While circling above the surface Of the deep pale desert sea Cutting that other life of lines Salvation! Wish we’d never met Salvation! And rather gone our separate ways Salvation! All times spent together Salvation! Are the darkest of days Salvation! Darkness reborn! |

Aligned with the continuum Ritualist! Expanding the source at hand Aligned with the continuum Expanding the source at hand Altering the past and the present The future changes the chain of command Transfusion of new blood Congregation of the true blood With no chains attached We’re letting the past rest And things will never quite be the same Transfusion of new blood Mobilization of true blood What’s leaving is already left behind What’s leaving is already left behind With no chains attached We’re letting the past rest Things will never quite be the same When we are in charge of the game Dispatching the chained ones While being watched by the eyes of time Everything is clearer now The search is on for the next horizon Ritualist! Moving forward with silence and rapid pace Ritualist! Since the horror dawned upon our immediate race Ritualist! The veil has once again been extracted Ritualist! From the mist that dimmed our eyes |

Through moors and mists of deception The uninitiated are conjoined Illusive bliss feeds obsession A feeble orientation is provoked Inflammatory bonds will be broken Being the shepherd no more Yearning for that ever glowing token In ongoing lore Images appear before my eyes At any given time Burdened bearing all their lies Leaping laughter and secret smiles Inflammatory bonds will be broken Being the shepherd no more Yearning for that ever glowing token In ongoing lore The treasure lies not in regression But in reaching the levels of becoming That harboured within us for centuries Centuries of long lost knowing Spirit and matter defined Spirit and matter refined The upper planes accessed Insight and co-alliance addressed Spirit and matter defined Spirit and matter refined |

2. | Born Treacherous | 05:17 | Show lyrics |
With defiance and resistance I burn the bridges and their names Will I ever comprehend My own spells and games? Let me keep my world Let me have my slaves They all do wonders for me So I can leave things be Let me keep my world As I’m too blind to see When I lay in bed at night - Wishing well When I pray for recovery - Feeling hell Suffocating in my own filth With no fresh air to inhale Born treacherous! Insanity keeps me away and free From the core of responsibility But once the pace quickens I’ll be derived from myself In total mind captivity |
|||
3. | Gateways | 05:28 | Show lyrics |
The core principle of freedom Is the only notion to obey The formulae of evolution and sin Leading the way The rebirth is near completion As we slowly awaken from slumber The malpractice of the spirit ends GATEWAYS! When the gift is once again attained GATEWAYS! No rules or restraints are longer valid GATEWAYS! When the ancient future is reclaimed GATEWAYS! It’s all there for the eyes that can see The blind ones will always suffer in secrecy For it is the omen Of what lies submerged - breeding Untouched within us - bleeding To receive the light that shines in darkness The light that shines forevermore Be the broken or the breaker Be the giver or the undertaker Unlock and open the doors Be the healer or the faker The keys are in your hands Realize you are your own sole creator Of your own masterplan |

Forces of the northern light - Assemble Forces of the northern night - Call to arms Summoned by the secrets of sacrifice Meeting destiny on the road we took to avoid it As we only compete with ourselves Left is that of a confident union What bridge to cross and what bridge to burn Deceit is everywhere you turn We weed out the weak and their weep Evolving - Compulsively Behaving - Inconsistently Yet the pulse is pounding Restoration is the name For those who are left in the game Invocation in the name of our flame Dimmu Borgir! The deviants seek but one place Dimmu Borgir! Forward onward march! Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not With trickery and treat Enemies will face defeat No place for dreamers As our formation is lava Fire is with or against you And so it burns Constant retribution calling From the shadows of three consecutive sixes Merging with the cold dark vacuum Talent is worthless unless exercised "When the world is turning You’ll find your true nature When the first is last and the last is first You’ll be where you choose to be" Forgive we shall not Forget we shall not Fire is with or against you And so it burns |

6. | Chess with the Abyss | 04:11 | Show lyrics |
Old dreams return Disillusioned I yearn Am I buried beneath sand and clay? The caress of cold soil With limbs crippled to the coil Locked inside a nightmare womb Tarnished and grief stricken Emptiness within a void Longing for the sun to shine To discourage the demonoid Salvation! Darkness reborn! We seem to keep fading away Holding on to that last final sway A doctrine of self salvation Darkness reborn on resurrection day? Stagnating in dead waters While circling above the surface Of the deep pale desert sea Cutting that other life of lines Salvation! Wish we’d never met Salvation! And rather gone our separate ways Salvation! All times spent together Salvation! Are the darkest of days Salvation! Darkness reborn! |

Shedding the old skin Procreating new sin Incubation and isolation A new storm is brewing Ritualist! Shedding the old skin Ritualist! Procreating new sin Ritualist! Incubation and isolation Ritualist! A new storm is brewing Away with obstacles to progress Those deficient in ambition to prosperity Yearning but what already is gone The remains digress And start anew Ritualist! Aligned with the continuum Ritualist! Expanding the source at hand Aligned with the continuum Expanding the source at hand Altering the past and the present The future changes the chain of command Transfusion of new blood Congregation of the true blood With no chains attached We’re letting the past rest And things will never quite be the same Transfusion of new blood Mobilization of true blood What’s leaving is already left behind What’s leaving is already left behind With no chains attached We’re letting the past rest Things will never quite be the same When we are in charge of the game Dispatching the chained ones While being watched by the eyes of time Everything is clearer now The search is on for the next horizon Ritualist! Moving forward with silence and rapid pace Ritualist! Since the horror dawned upon our immediate race Ritualist! The veil has once again been extracted Ritualist! From the mist that dimmed our eyes |

8. | A Jewel Traced Through Coal | 05:15 | Show lyrics |
Through moors and mists of deception The uninitiated are conjoined Illusive bliss feeds obsession A feeble orientation is provoked Inflammatory bonds will be broken Being the shepherd no more Yearning for that ever glowing token In ongoing lore Images appear before my eyes At any given time Burdened bearing all their lies Leaping laughter and secret smiles Inflammatory bonds will be broken Being the shepherd no more Yearning for that ever glowing token In ongoing lore The treasure lies not in regression But in reaching the levels of becoming That harboured within us for centuries Centuries of long lost knowing Spirit and matter defined Spirit and matter refined The upper planes accessed Insight and co-alliance addressed Spirit and matter defined Spirit and matter refined |

9. | Eradication Instincts Defined (orchestra) | 05:22 | Show lyrics |
Verse 1: As mortal manufactured waste And part of the commonly infected You prevent the ones worthy the gift of life To surface on once a prosperous soil Verse 2: As superficially bewildered whores And succumbing to fictional truth You are taught to preserve and profit The life institutional lie Verse 3: You worthless piece of shit May we all depart from this world And dissolve into nothingness Compassion will not be granted When life’s value Is point below zero Verse 4: Human depravity is at our disposal As the perfect tool to destroy mankind The worst kind of them all Modern times’ ignorance, the world disease Appeal to death of every man Verse 5: A living hate smoldering abyss Nurtured through centuries with quietly exercised wrath Seeks the easiest way to the feed the engine Praising the final bloodbath Verse 6: Uncertainty and guilt Will no longer endorse our fate There will be no remorse, we kill to kill again Killing all Verse 7: Go ahead end it all, we deserve no better As a forever unblessed detonation The great plutonium chord fulminates Blinding the eyes of creation Verse 8: Cutting off all life support Sweeping away existence instantly Iced desolate ruins linger Leaving traces of our lovely humanity [repeat 1st and 6th verse] |

2. | Progenies of the Great Apocalypse | 05:18 | Show lyrics |
Verse 1: The battle raged on and on Fuelled by the venom of hatred for man Consistently, without the eyes to see By those who revel in sewer equally Verse 2: We, the prosperity of the future seal Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind Born to capture the essence of The trails of our kind Verse 3: Zero tolerance must be issued forth Behind the enemy’s line So it shall be written And so it shall be done (repeat 1st and 2nd verse) Discover and conceive the secret wealth And pass it unto your breed Become your own congregation Measure the sovereignty of it’s invigoration We, who not deny the animal of our nature We, who yearn to preserve our liberation We, who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire We, who aspire to the truth and pursue it’s strength Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare Fearing all the mediocrity that they possess Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might Reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours Consider the god we could be without the grace Once and for all Diminish the sub principle and leave it’s toxic trace Once and for all |

To live or disappear? The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastard sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice |

Incarnated marvels simplified Effects from such a disconsolate kind Impotence of the once so perfect living Erase and rewind Stand rigid for the next battle Peace means reloading your guns The love for life is all hatred in disguise A carnival creation with masks undone In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as virulent truth Confidently dawned, to pick the best of enemies An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate (chorus:) With the stigma feasting upon your flesh I wish you well Thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our planet hell What on earth possessed you Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface And enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect With such bedevilled faith in good, subsequently trusting evil Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin Left are the kings of the carnival creation Carrying out the echoes of the fallen Sense the withering eternity as it fades away The ultimate graceless voyage of all times Only death will be guarding your angels, silently Cripples joining arms in clamour Institutionalized for the rebirth, the herd will be hunted |

Let chaos entwine on defenseless soil Remove errors of man and sweep all the weakening kind I am war, I am pain I am all you’ve ever slain I am tears in your eyes I am grief, I am lies Bygone are tolerance and presence of grace Scavengers are set out to cleanse the human filth parade I am pure, I am true I am all over you I am laugh, I am smile I am the earth defiled I am the cosmic storms I am the tiny worms I am fear in the night I am bringer of light |

Daylight has finally reached its end As evenfall strikes into the sky Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight Sickening souls cry out in pain Whispering voices summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace Feel the gloom of restless spirits Hear the screams from the Mourning Palace Feel the doom of haunting chants Eternal is their lives in misery Eternal is their lives in grief Abandoned in a void of nothingness A chain of anger, a fetter of despair In this garden of depraved beings This unsacred place of helpless ones Satan blessed the creatures Inswathed them in endless night Whispering voices, summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness |

Become through earned And granted liberation Rise above the secrecy And silent deception Clarity is determined At the depths of murky waters The potion of black earthed blood Is the sludge draining the conscious Essential Learning Corrupted and drifted In this deceiving world The modern savant has ignored the soul Expose the dreamworld We all believe to be real Forgotten, forbidden All the knowledge that is hidden In the shadows Our eyes are blind with confusion The curtains hide the present Leaving only rays of disillusion Expose the dreamworld We all believe to be real Forgotten, forbidden All the knowledge that is hidden |

Mired in illusion Lost in the masters game Silenced by the idea of time Nurtured with lies and deceit The silent seeker, the seer Travels beyond the veil The silent seeker, the seer Fleeing the dense womb of ignorance To the trained eye There are no coincidences The more you see The less it makes sense To the trained eye There are no coincidences If you can not see You can not truly know We are the current sum of all the ages Leaving a trail of burnt pages Thrown into darkness as stars We travel alone as one When the dust settles on the tavern Is when we’re liberated from illusion Taking our first and final breath Realizing life is always after death Mired in illusion Lost in the masters game Silenced by the idea of time To the trained eye There are no coincidences The more you see The less it makes sense To the trained eye There are no coincidences If you can not see You can not truly know The silent seeker, the seer Travels beyond the veil The silent seeker, the seer Fleeing the dense womb of ignorance |

The word that has been spoken Through time and time again Is the light that inhabits our voice The light that keeps us aflame All retrospection is invalid As we’ve been fed disdain Confined to the fence of knowledge We need to die, die again To govern thyself You must know your darkness To govern thyself You must know your past All rise and fall All is internal All eternal All rise and fall Controlling matter with will We withstand every storm In and out of exile Spirit, matter and form To govern thyself You must know your darkness To govern thyself You must know your past |

Legionnaires of degradation Ridden with disease Disguised as martyrs Preaching counterfeit peace Unbound, glory forever untouched Unbound, from its inception To its final round Through the tunnels Darkness dims the vision Yet, the light is kept guarded Secretly Unbound, glory forever untouched Unbound, from its inception To its final round Risen anew from its humiliation The fire has been awoken The crossroads many The highways few Through desert storms it flew The spirit of the phoenix wins Restored anew Unbound, glory forever untouched Unbound, from its inception To its last final round |

7. | I Am Sovereign | 06:48 | Show lyrics |
Undo me and feel no restraint. Undo me, pain is wanting closure. Undo me, the mind it needs to rest. Undo me, I shall be restored. Perseverance doesn’t mean anything unless it’s for eternity. The real powers that will ever be is freedom and liberty. Undo me and feel no restraint. Undo me, pain is wanting closure. Undo me, the mind it needs to rest. Undo me, I shall be restored. A lifetime worthy of awakening is a life worth transcending We learn as we teach, we teach as we speak, we speak as we seek, we seek what we learn. Knowing when to end a journey is to recognize where it begins what we really seek is not here but on the other side of fear. We learn as we teach, we teach as we speak, we speak as we seek, we seek what we learn. |

Dead at nothing Alive at everything You travel time And time travels you As within so without As above so below When we set sail Energy is our procession The journey inward repeats The horizon is our destination Life is the trial And the passage is death Storming through oblivion Life is a trial And the passage is death Storming through the veil The transition from internal life Repressed and unseen Forgotten Lurking in the shadow of your mind Losing yourself is the key To leave everything behind Losing yourself is the key The shadows become our past The migration of the soul Picks up where it leaves the flesh And enters the finish line Sustained through another time Life is the trial And the passage is death Storming through oblivion Life is a trial And the passage is death Storming through the veil As within so without As above so below |

The inevitable exchange Is when knowledge comes Without judgement The final transition Is when knowledge becomes The internal The facilitators of darkness Are the true providers To the world’s light Ascending the highest mountain Beyond the perception of reality Forever free From illusion of mortality Open are all the doors All will run its course Leaving the former paradigm Escalating, further the climb Ascending the highest mountain Beyond the perception of reality Forever free From illusion of mortality The flow is ever present Upstream and against the current Ascending the highest of mountains Free |

1. | The Unveiling | 05:47 | Show lyrics |
Become through earned And granted liberation Rise above the secrecy And silent deception Clarity is determined At the depths of murky waters The potion of black earthed blood Is the sludge draining the conscious Essential Learning Corrupted and drifted In this deceiving world The modern savant has ignored the soul Expose the dreamworld We all believe to be real Forgotten, forbidden All the knowledge that is hidden In the shadows Our eyes are blind with confusion The curtains hide the present Leaving only rays of disillusion Expose the dreamworld We all believe to be real Forgotten, forbidden All the knowledge that is hidden |

2. | Interdimensional Summit | 04:39 | Show lyrics |
Mired in illusion Lost in the masters game Silenced by the idea of time Nurtured with lies and deceit The silent seeker, the seer Travels beyond the veil The silent seeker, the seer Fleeing the dense womb of ignorance To the trained eye There are no coincidences The more you see The less it makes sense To the trained eye There are no coincidences If you can not see You can not truly know We are the current sum of all the ages Leaving a trail of burnt pages Thrown into darkness as stars We travel alone as one When the dust settles on the tavern Is when we’re liberated from illusion Taking our first and final breath Realizing life is always after death Mired in illusion Lost in the masters game Silenced by the idea of time To the trained eye There are no coincidences The more you see The less it makes sense To the trained eye There are no coincidences If you can not see You can not truly know The silent seeker, the seer Travels beyond the veil The silent seeker, the seer Fleeing the dense womb of ignorance |

3. | Ætheric | 05:27 | Show lyrics |
The word that has been spoken Through time and time again Is the light that inhabits our voice The light that keeps us aflame All retrospection is invalid As we’ve been fed disdain Confined to the fence of knowledge We need to die, die again To govern thyself You must know your darkness To govern thyself You must know your past All rise and fall All is internal All eternal All rise and fall Controlling matter with will We withstand every storm In and out of exile Spirit, matter and form To govern thyself You must know your darkness To govern thyself You must know your past |

4. | Council of Wolves and Snakes | 05:19 | Show lyrics |
Nomads plunging into the vast abyss Unattached, fleeting through the chasm Naked in pure darkness Embracing the new dawn We are gods here for the taking Yield to the dragon’s embrace We are gods Yield to the dragon’s embrace As pawns in this secret game No one knows nothing Yet, in the realm of sacred play Everyone knows everything A winged and secret flame Leaving this paradigm A dimension we are set to flee We are gods in the making We are here for the taking Yield to the dragon’s embrace We are of transcendence We are wolves and snakes A winged and secret flame Leaving this paradigm A dimension we are set to flee The arrival is in the departure We are sculpted into life By the hands of death |

5. | The Empyrean Phoenix | 04:44 | Show lyrics |
Legionnaires of degradation Ridden with disease Disguised as martyrs Preaching counterfeit peace Unbound, glory forever untouched Unbound, from its inception To its final round Through the tunnels Darkness dims the vision Yet, the light is kept guarded Secretly Unbound, glory forever untouched Unbound, from its inception To its final round Risen anew from its humiliation The fire has been awoken The crossroads many The highways few Through desert storms it flew The spirit of the phoenix wins Restored anew Unbound, glory forever untouched Unbound, from its inception To its last final round |

6. | Lightbringer | 06:06 | Show lyrics |
Discover with courage While facing the beyond Uncompromisingly Everything connects As you detach Truth foretold Truth discovered Truth always known All growth comes at a cost Moving forward means sacrifice Enduring all paths crossed Lucifer Lux Lucifer The shadow is your dragon Making the darkness conscious Your wings open wide Old souls becoming of age Prosperity comes with a price All growth comes at a cost Moving forward means sacrifice Enduring all paths crossed Truth foretold Truth discovered Truth always known The secrets of existence Everything within reach The beginning is near The end never draws fear Lucifer Lux Lucifer |

7. | I Am Sovereign | 06:48 | Show lyrics |
Undo me and feel no restraint. Undo me, pain is wanting closure. Undo me, the mind it needs to rest. Undo me, I shall be restored. Perseverance doesn’t mean anything unless it’s for eternity. The real powers that will ever be is freedom and liberty. Undo me and feel no restraint. Undo me, pain is wanting closure. Undo me, the mind it needs to rest. Undo me, I shall be restored. A lifetime worthy of awakening is a life worth transcending We learn as we teach, we teach as we speak, we speak as we seek, we seek what we learn. Knowing when to end a journey is to recognize where it begins what we really seek is not here but on the other side of fear. We learn as we teach, we teach as we speak, we speak as we seek, we seek what we learn. |

Undo me and feel no restraint. Undo me, pain is wanting closure. Undo me, the mind it needs to rest. Undo me, I shall be restored. Perseverance doesn’t mean anything unless it’s for eternity. The real powers that will ever be is freedom and liberty. Undo me and feel no restraint. Undo me, pain is wanting closure. Undo me, the mind it needs to rest. Undo me, I shall be restored. A lifetime worthy of awakening is a life worth transcending We learn as we teach, we teach as we speak, we speak as we seek, we seek what we learn. Knowing when to end a journey is to recognize where it begins what we really seek is not here but on the other side of fear. We learn as we teach, we teach as we speak, we speak as we seek, we seek what we learn. |

Discover with courage While facing the beyond Uncompromisingly Everything connects As you detach Truth foretold Truth discovered Truth always known All growth comes at a cost Moving forward means sacrifice Enduring all paths crossed Lucifer Lux Lucifer The shadow is your dragon Making the darkness conscious Your wings open wide Old souls becoming of age Prosperity comes with a price All growth comes at a cost Moving forward means sacrifice Enduring all paths crossed Truth foretold Truth discovered Truth always known The secrets of existence Everything within reach The beginning is near The end never draws fear Lucifer Lux Lucifer |

Undo me and feel no restraint. Undo me, pain is wanting closure. Undo me, the mind it needs to rest. Undo me, I shall be restored. Perseverance doesn’t mean anything unless it’s for eternity. The real powers that will ever be is freedom and liberty. Undo me and feel no restraint. Undo me, pain is wanting closure. Undo me, the mind it needs to rest. Undo me, I shall be restored. A lifetime worthy of awakening is a life worth transcending We learn as we teach, we teach as we speak, we speak as we seek, we seek what we learn. Knowing when to end a journey is to recognize where it begins what we really seek is not here but on the other side of fear. We learn as we teach, we teach as we speak, we speak as we seek, we seek what we learn. |

Dead at nothing Alive at everything You travel time And time travels you As within so without As above so below When we set sail Energy is our procession The journey inward repeats The horizon is our destination Life is the trial And the passage is death Storming through oblivion Life is a trial And the passage is death Storming through the veil The transition from internal life Repressed and unseen Forgotten Lurking in the shadow of your mind Losing yourself is the key To leave everything behind Losing yourself is the key The shadows become our past The migration of the soul Picks up where it leaves the flesh And enters the finish line Sustained through another time Life is the trial And the passage is death Storming through oblivion Life is a trial And the passage is death Storming through the veil As within so without As above so below |

The inevitable exchange Is when knowledge comes Without judgement The final transition Is when knowledge becomes The internal The facilitators of darkness Are the true providers To the world’s light Ascending the highest mountain Beyond the perception of reality Forever free From illusion of mortality Open are all the doors All will run its course Leaving the former paradigm Escalating, further the climb Ascending the highest mountain Beyond the perception of reality Forever free From illusion of mortality The flow is ever present Upstream and against the current Ascending the highest of mountains Free |

Nomads plunging into the vast abyss Unattached, fleeting through the chasm Naked in pure darkness Embracing the new dawn We are gods here for the taking Yield to the dragon’s embrace We are gods Yield to the dragon’s embrace As pawns in this secret game No one knows nothing Yet, in the realm of sacred play Everyone knows everything A winged and secret flame Leaving this paradigm A dimension we are set to flee We are gods in the making We are here for the taking Yield to the dragon’s embrace We are of transcendence We are wolves and snakes A winged and secret flame Leaving this paradigm A dimension we are set to flee The arrival is in the departure We are sculpted into life By the hands of death |

1. | The Unveiling | 05:47 | Show lyrics |
Become through earned And granted liberation Rise above the secrecy And silent deception Clarity is determined At the depths of murky waters The potion of black earthed blood Is the sludge draining the conscious Essential Learning Corrupted and drifted In this deceiving world The modern savant has ignored the soul Expose the dreamworld We all believe to be real Forgotten, forbidden All the knowledge that is hidden In the shadows Our eyes are blind with confusion The curtains hide the present Leaving only rays of disillusion Expose the dreamworld We all believe to be real Forgotten, forbidden All the knowledge that is hidden |

2. | Interdimensional Summit | 04:39 | Show lyrics |
Mired in illusion Lost in the masters game Silenced by the idea of time Nurtured with lies and deceit The silent seeker, the seer Travels beyond the veil The silent seeker, the seer Fleeing the dense womb of ignorance To the trained eye There are no coincidences The more you see The less it makes sense To the trained eye There are no coincidences If you can not see You can not truly know We are the current sum of all the ages Leaving a trail of burnt pages Thrown into darkness as stars We travel alone as one When the dust settles on the tavern Is when we’re liberated from illusion Taking our first and final breath Realizing life is always after death Mired in illusion Lost in the masters game Silenced by the idea of time To the trained eye There are no coincidences The more you see The less it makes sense To the trained eye There are no coincidences If you can not see You can not truly know The silent seeker, the seer Travels beyond the veil The silent seeker, the seer Fleeing the dense womb of ignorance |

3. | Ætheric | 05:27 | Show lyrics |
The word that has been spoken Through time and time again Is the light that inhabits our voice The light that keeps us aflame All retrospection is invalid As we’ve been fed disdain Confined to the fence of knowledge We need to die, die again To govern thyself You must know your darkness To govern thyself You must know your past All rise and fall All is internal All eternal All rise and fall Controlling matter with will We withstand every storm In and out of exile Spirit, matter and form To govern thyself You must know your darkness To govern thyself You must know your past |

5. | The Empyrean Phoenix | 04:44 | Show lyrics |
Legionnaires of degradation Ridden with disease Disguised as martyrs Preaching counterfeit peace Unbound, glory forever untouched Unbound, from its inception To its final round Through the tunnels Darkness dims the vision Yet, the light is kept guarded Secretly Unbound, glory forever untouched Unbound, from its inception To its final round Risen anew from its humiliation The fire has been awoken The crossroads many The highways few Through desert storms it flew The spirit of the phoenix wins Restored anew Unbound, glory forever untouched Unbound, from its inception To its last final round |
