Frozen streams and vapours gray, cold and waste the landscape lay... Then a hale of wind. Hither-Whirling, Thither-Swilrling, Spinn the fog and spinn the mist... Still we walked on through woods and wintry gray, home through woods where winter lay - Cold and dark... (Waiting for a change in the weather. Waiting for a shift in the air. Could we get there together, ever? Waiting for our late, late return) Through the woods. Home through the woods where winter lay... |

Tilsammen - vi to - over beksvart hav Enn om du igjen aldri hit vil komme Jeg tilbyr deg mitt kjølnende blod Evig vil min sjel skue mot nord Stundom mitt sinn skal reise Til tid tar slutt paa jord Til tid tar slutt paa jord Hver en jævel vill Som sank i vann før tid var til... Jeg drev forlatt og vandret vill Ennu har du ikke hørt mitt hill I tomme natten skimtet jeg Et glimt av land, en evig ild... |

Here is so desolate; Times, they are dark Words ceas’ - to end as echoes rolling afar Empathy arises whilst thou drapest this world in black; The only colour that can paint my soul Clad in the shades of night Thou reflects the pure of heart Amidst all the grief this winter unfoldeth The thorn in my side - thou retainst Thy breeze maketh me shiver Maimeth me with its frozen malice Thou minglest with the dense night I hearken to the voice of thy winds They are the saddest of all sounds of thine Never will I take leave from thy haunt Hast thou ever desired me? I receive no answer, thou letst it pass in silence... |

5. | The Bodkin & the Quietus (...to Reach the Stars) | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
These constellations gleaming at us from afar They give rise to frigid memories in my mind My stellar memetoes are the brightest signs that twinkle away Infinity, the faustian spirit, disheartened, by all I will never get up there alone but still I will always perceive their company I honor the farthest fall His fall, I, I... In my thirst for knowledge a new kind of thought arose. Enriched me. Their weight will always burden me. As I then fell into reverie. My (struggling) heart felt it’s end, I lifted the bodkin. I fall the final recourse and the fall, it made me tired, meltdown I fly All remembered They are the reminders of all All to us unknown, unknown. |

1. | Master of Disguise | 06:42 | Show lyrics |
("No! this face is only a mask, a wicked ornament, illuminated by an exquisite grimace, Look and see, atrociously contorted, The real head, and the sincere face Turned back under the shadow of the face which lies" Charles Baudelaire) He is profanity in sancity’s guise An alias assumed I do realize In their eyes, his cause - when enticing and cunning in impact is still a criminal and evil act So look for him vainly, He, the incarnation of magickal nature He turns unrecognizable even to the experienced eye You obsessively pursue him Failing to see, that was why he came to be one who annihilates with such impunity He appears your friend, but the Saint hides many Satans He’s contemptous, you know of your Godgiven stupidities He calls you in question with affected modesty and create of you an object of derision You think him to be pariah whom company does exclude But in the midst of all frenzy He is - feasting in a transitory mood Passion is a strict lord He is also its humble slave When bereft of common ways, He strides before you on water He makes clowns of kings, charm the guests, rides the ball Is the master of disguise Prince of the thousandfold face the charming jester’s smile which invites reason to demise and imaginations rise Inscrutable yes, venting his spleen Somewhere night and day between Is the master of disguise |

3. | The Chaos Path | 05:33 | Show lyrics |
Await the coming storm. Behold the sign in the Sun. Chaos upon us spawn! The arrows of time points us all. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories. Atoms like incence rising, like a thousand candles all blown out at once. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice breaks it. The spirit sails out on waters. An intergalactic sea of sorrow. Solemn oblivion with thee. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. It crawls towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. Twisten, this mortal flesh invoked again, with the echoes still haunting; The curses chanting. Embrace this outcast state of chaos. After all this unalterable. Beweep this thought, then arise with wisdom. Nowhen I hallow in the gateway of different plains. Open your heart and let go. Oh Vanish. Divine infinity. Ah, this wrath I am. So many aeons ago since. Ah I suffer eternally. The inevitable did unfold. Oh well, a collection of particles held together by the force of a soul and its memory. Be warned (you stand) on the edge of infinity; Where coloured waves will lead the way into the void. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories now. Atoms like incense rising. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. You are drawn towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. In between the arrows of time I suffer eternally. |

Poem by Edgar Allan Poe From childhood’s hour I have not been As others were - I have not seen As others saw - I could not bring My passions from a common spring From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I lov’d, I lov’d alone Then - in my childhood - in the dawn Of a most stormy life - was drawn From ev’ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain From the Sun that ’round me roll’d In it’s autumn tint of gold - From the lighting in the sky As it pass’d me flying by - From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that look the form (When the rest of heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view. |

6. | The Throne of Tragedy | 06:33 | Show lyrics |
Based on the poem «Tragediens Trone» by Jørn Henrik Sværen, is translated by the undersigned, and hereby dedicated to Kristoffer Garm Rygg Hear! From this day forth are the heights of Horeb broken and the sea of sulphur-ice. And blasphemy! in heaven’s chambers: Souls had fled their halls and closed was the book of life. And behold! The great, white throne: black with sacred blood Our father - Dead by his own hands: an epitaph worthly no king. And so is everything a nameless lie. Who, my god, am I? Man knows me as Lucifer, the serpent of old. The wretched hold my banner high. Your gift - all life! - I grant a grave Yet I am not your death. Come carry forth the crown to your once held throne. Here is where my suffering should cease - but alas; I am crowned in grief unheard of! In this lone monarchy - without a friend of foe - I greet the mourning Sun with strife and a song: Please speak my name! And leave me not in the dust of death. I am weighed down beneath the tragedy crown, - nameless, and alone, a fatherless son. |

7. | Painting My Horror | 05:59 | Show lyrics |
It was a dark night, I couldn’t see; And sences were unbound in ESP When in dream awake, I’d paint. Subconscious, the expance I saw The portal to minds eye, open! - I contemplated Who it was that pulled the strings Of those things I saw in dreadful masquerade Of stark madness went merry round with my head I passed out, embraced their world Savoured the poetry of revolt - Sheer elegy of menace I have not been the same since, I took on the profession of a devil The world I see in a grotesque light Evil perform with the gestures of a clown Pure I live in blasphemy Mephisto I am hidden in Madonnas gown From the code of common sense I’m free To(o) bad you are not here to partake my strange horror ’Cause here is where our ways will part I will not exchange this power, spring of my suffering, I do not envy the conscience pure of the blind man in his bliss world I would not be devoid the fruit of guile |

("I know that without me god cannot live a moment; If I am destroyed he must give up the ghost" [Angelus Silesius] I beseech you, god to whom many sinners pray From the depth of the dark abyss where my heart fell Expelled I was from your tedious grace to the pits of hell So can please cease to deplore my opposite, may only way For aeons I descended down Till I saw the dreadful truths of which man wouldn’t know I, degraded bearer of thy sacred light - to which I never again will bow When I rise to avenge myself with darkness The anger of the damned shall flow I was cast out by the retinue of angels weak Shone to the few who me would seek A rebel I was, radiant my glow, afar, My wisdom fathomed by the morningstar And O your fools, in herdlike fright, stampede And when creation falls, you must build anew, With nails that sting my hands - They grow passionate on a lie But you know the veracious one was I |

Unfortunate the hoax that you are not immune For if beauty was hurt Like children naked and misused We would aspire towards states of disturbed emotions and never need to mirror off like shadows of a greater joy While moralist angels prepare their heavenly cocktail lounge In darker institutions they are beyond discipline and repentance is no option But do not dispair I know of an exit Destruction thinkers travel the other way around Where directions are none and the ground is gone Such treacherous gates to enter. Even bigger doubts inside. Doors shut from the outside and you hear the sound of someone walking away You just disappeared in a backsweep of darkness and stars |

("No! this face is only a mask, a wicked ornament, illuminated by an exquisite grimace, Look and see, atrociously contorted, The real head, and the sincere face Turned back under the shadow of the face which lies" Charles Baudelaire) He is profanity in sancity’s guise An alias assumed I do realize In their eyes, his cause - when enticing and cunning in impact is still a criminal and evil act So look for him vainly, He, the incarnation of magickal nature He turns unrecognizable even to the experienced eye You obsessively pursue him Failing to see, that was why he came to be one who annihilates with such impunity He appears your friend, but the Saint hides many Satans He’s contemptous, you know of your Godgiven stupidities He calls you in question with affected modesty and create of you an object of derision You think him to be pariah whom company does exclude But in the midst of all frenzy He is - feasting in a transitory mood Passion is a strict lord He is also its humble slave When bereft of common ways, He strides before you on water He makes clowns of kings, charm the guests, rides the ball Is the master of disguise Prince of the thousandfold face the charming jester’s smile which invites reason to demise and imaginations rise Inscrutable yes, venting his spleen Somewhere night and day between Is the master of disguise |

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 |

Welcome this transmission from a fallen star Light has departed from this black sun But please put us on to bring darkness down from your head and home Our enterprise a success as return is no option our eyes were removed for our own safety The distance too great for you to hear our cries nevermind take this lamp we are beyond light We learned so little of inhuman culture before disappearance went right through us The mothership boarded by fools we escape space in order to reach our destination And if you are listening please tell us about the time where and when we exist no more For when you go we go with you via wormholes |

Here is so desolate; Times, they are dark Words ceas’ - to end as echoes rolling afar Empathy arises whilst thou drapest this world in black; The only colour that can paint my soul Clad in the shades of night Thou reflects the pure of heart Amidst all the grief this winter unfoldeth The thorn in my side - thou retainst Thy breeze maketh me shiver Maimeth me with its frozen malice Thou minglest with the dense night I hearken to the voice of thy winds They are the saddest of all sounds of thine Never will I take leave from thy haunt Hast thou ever desired me? I receive no answer, thou letst it pass in silence... |

2. | Wintry Grey | 04:34 | Show lyrics |
Frozen streams and vapours gray, cold and waste the landscape lay... Then a hale of wind. Hither-Whirling, Thither-Swilrling, Spin the fog and spin the mist... Still we walked on through woods and wintry gray, home through woods where winter lay - Cold and dark... (Waiting for a change in the weather. Waiting for a shift in the air. Could we get there together, ever? Waiting for our late, late return) Through the woods. Home through the woods where winter lay... |

5. | The Bodkin & the Quietus | 04:34 | Show lyrics |
These constellations gleaming at us from afar They give rise to frigid memories in my mind My stellar memetoes are the brightest signs that twinkle away Infinity, the faustian spirit, disheartened, by all I will never get up there alone but still I will always perceive their company I honor the farthest fall His fall, I, I... In my thirst for knowledge a new kind of thought arose. Enriched me. Their weight will always burden me. As I then fell into reverie. My (struggling) heart felt it’s end, I lifted the bodkin. I fall the final recourse and the fall, it made me tired, meltdown I fly All remembered They are the reminders of all All to us unknown, unknown. |

1. | Hibernation Sickness Complete | 05:02 | Show lyrics |
Probing a voiceless void Searching for a closure Poisoned tentacles from the past Are tumbling fumbling closer Mood set On full scale regret Peaking an all time low Distorted patterns no sight with this lantern But a bleak recollection of something undone A banished vanished presence Of the unspeakable secretive kind The uttermost shame is its essence The septic transforms the shellshocked and blind A nightmare released a terrible disease Lurking behind a thin wall of sleep The jail-bars of a stigmatized keep Across the crumbling layers A tricky haze of control Beyond matter the untouchable scatter The cracks are beginning to show Small gaps out of time with riddles entwined Looking over my shoulder for some kind of cover All I can find to bring peace of mind Is that this bloodstained route Will carry the strangest of fruits Not to turn away tainted But look into the deep and weep Hibernation sickness complete |

The echoes of a dream I dreamt In a distant past is here at last Drowning me fast Why are the ripples so old and vast Catching up to me? What did I see? The tower of life, or was it death Erected by the sea The spawn of the Earth was flocking to Some went to the top others halted up At different levels people threw themselves at the waves And when they fell in they were all dead as sin I climbed up to the very top Wanting to see all that can be Why waste a wicked view When after all all and all To our death will fall To our death we fall This foretelling I knew to be deeper than words And true as pain hurts Now I am in free flight It does not feel right No time to think I!ll be gone in a wink In between waking and true sleep What I find I treasure and keep The tower of wisdom The fall to the deep |

Crowded mind working overtime in a shrinking stinking home A presence arrives just out of sight Hides in the maze collects all mistakes White noise withering weeds of deeds worshiping with filth in the temple of guilt Filing its womb with pleasure and doom Monstrous urban paranoia sweeping over my mine-field mind Trigging random horrors cause and effect is a bittersweet sect And I am a priest of loons and carrier of wounds a battle fatigued random seed Placed on this Earth and fucked up from birth Who gives a flying shit anyway In a room without view I cold-sweat and drew My theories of everything and anything would do Reading the mind of mankind’s deamon Pushing the line forward all the time A deep-space satellite on light-speed depressed Torn and obsessed by a lifetime of jests |

Poem by Edgar Allan Poe From childhood’s hour I have not been As others were - I have not seen As others saw - I could not bring My passions from a common spring From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I lov’d, I lov’d alone Then - in my childhood - in the dawn Of a most stormy life - was drawn From ev’ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain From the Sun that ’round me roll’d In it’s autumn tint of gold - From the lighting in the sky As it pass’d me flying by - From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that look the form (When the rest of heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view. |

6. | Deception Genesis | 06:54 | Show lyrics |
Unfortunate the hoax That you are not immune For if beauty was hurt Like children naked and misused We would aspire towards States of disturbed emotions And never need to mirror off Like shadows of a greater joy While moralist angels prepare Their heavenly cocktail lounge In darker institutions They are beyond discipline And repentance is no option But do not despair I know of an exit Destruction thinkers travel The other way around Where directions are none And the ground is gone Such treacherous gates to enter Even bigger doubts inside Doors shut from the outside And you hear the sound Of someone walking away You just disappeared In a backsweep Of darkness and stars |

7. | The Chaos Path | 06:37 | Show lyrics |
Await the coming storm. Behold the sign in the Sun. Chaos upon us spawn! The arrows of time points us all. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories. Atoms like incence rising, like a thousand candles all blown out at once. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice breaks it. The spirit sails out on waters. An intergalactic sea of sorrow. Solemn oblivion with thee. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. It crawls towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. Twisten, this mortal flesh invoked again, with the echoes still haunting; The curses chanting. Embrace this outcast state of chaos. After all this unalterable. Beweep this thought, then arise with wisdom. Nowhen I hallow in the gateway of different plains. Open your heart and let go. Oh Vanish. Divine infinity. Ah, this wrath I am. So many aeons ago since. Ah I suffer eternally. The inevitable did unfold. Oh well, a collection of particles held together by the force of a soul and its memory. Be warned (you stand) on the edge of infinity; Where coloured waves will lead the way into the void. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories now. Atoms like incense rising. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. You are drawn towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. In between the arrows of time I suffer eternally. |

The echoes of a dream I dreamt In a distant past is here at last Drowning me fast Why are the ripples so old and vast Catching up to me? What did I see? The tower of life, or was it death Erected by the sea The spawn of the Earth was flocking to Some went to the top others halted up At different levels people threw themselves at the waves And when they fell in they were all dead as sin I climbed up to the very top Wanting to see all that can be Why waste a wicked view When after all all and all To our death will fall To our death we fall This foretelling I knew to be deeper than words And true as pain hurts Now I am in free flight It does not feel right No time to think I!ll be gone in a wink In between waking and true sleep What I find I treasure and keep The tower of wisdom The fall to the deep |

It was a dark night, I couldn’t see; And sences were unbound in ESP When in dream awake, I’d paint. Subconscious, the expance I saw The portal to minds eye, open! - I contemplated Who it was that pulled the strings Of those things I saw in dreadful masquerade Of stark madness went merry round with my head I passed out, embraced their world Savoured the poetry of revolt - Sheer elegy of menace I have not been the same since, I took on the profession of a devil The world I see in a grotesque light Evil perform with the gestures of a clown Pure I live in blasphemy Mephisto I am hidden in Madonnas gown From the code of common sense I’m free To(o) bad you are not here to partake my strange horror ’Cause here is where our ways will part I will not exchange this power, spring of my suffering, I do not envy the conscience pure of the blind man in his bliss world I would not be devoid the fruit of guile |

In search of marbles long since misplaced I give in... to yet another day... Sheltered from revealing light Kept out of sight Where sick minds bite Institutionalized I sleepwalk through my life The years pass by like fimbulwinter seasons Inside a darkness I do not own A bright portal void shows me where I long It’s out of reach you see The piping pills set no one free Here I stand glued in blood I just want to belong Nailed by some cruel device Leave me be The void is me yeah I know you see: "Ambition is the last refuge of failure" Every step a dead end street Must power up get me on my feet I’ve frozen space and time To warp alive inside my mind There is no place like home I just want to belong |

Out of the vacuum it came Northern aggression grew into a life form Obsessing its code into man The lords of words unspoken Dormant hate obscure awoken Visions grew stale black turned pale "Time you slayer of kings Gnaws iron bites steel Grinds hard stone to meal" (J.R.R.T.) War zone of the gods Ablaze was the sky Where the ash fell the echo still dwell Of times when words unspoken Where strong as iron steel and mountain Visions grew stale black turned pale Young men of hate and fire Burn your gods on the funeral pyre Before visions turn pale Misanthropic devils mocking mind controlling priests Fundamental freedom count the number of the beast Religion VS will of man fresh blood spite and balls True rebellion rock and roll / fear of the unknown Sacrilegious blasphemy A game changer of notes Pioneers of a different kind wolfs among goats Deep water stale and black it may pale but the legacy prevail Space-time slice in stranger ways Whatever it unveils |

Deira dagar har mørkna Moder jord meld sitt fraafall Men sverdet har gaat vidare Til ein ny bærar Me er einsomme menn Me bær fenresulvens muspell Skoll skal sluka sola Me er djerve menn Djerve menn Sola svartnar Der fjellvegg ramlar No gjestar sorgen Paa livets tre (Yggdrasil) For Byleists bror farar Kva er det ikkje Kampfar klarar? For Byleists bror farar Kva er det ikkje Kampfar klarar? Paa livets tre Paa livets tre |

2. | Icebound Streams and Vapours Gray | 04:42 | Show lyrics |
Frozen streams and vapours gray, cold and waste the landscape lay... Then a hale of wind. Hither-Whirling, Thither-Swilrling, Spinn the fog and spinn the mist... Still we walked on through woods and wintry gray, home through woods where winter lay - Cold and dark... (Waiting for a change in the weather. Waiting for a shift in the air. Could we get there together, ever? Waiting for our late, late return) Through the woods. Home through the woods where winter lay... |

3. | Naar kulda tar (Frostnettenes prolog) | 04:27 | Show lyrics |
Naar vinteren tar bitter fart Og steiner sprekker I frostklar natt Ved svarte tjern under naken li Da er villmarken vond aa ferdes i Vi befarer store sletter Der sneen ligger tykk Det blaaser kaldt - Vi skal dø Vi har sørgelig nok forfalt Naar vinteren tar bitter fart Fra stille tjern Till frostbetonte vidder -Farvel- |

4. | Du nordavind | 04:30 | Show lyrics |
Et blekt avdagsleite Falmer hen, til nattvart himmel Vandring hjem I eismal Under skumringens tidligste stjerne Tusmørket dypner I det fjerne Du nordavind, jeg speider fjern og nær Kommer du igjen fra de øde land hvor ingen mann er? Tilsammen - vi to - over beksvart hav Enn om du igjen aldri hit vil komme Jeg tilbyr deg mitt kjølnende blod Evig vil min sjel skue mot nord Stundom mitt sinn skal reise Til tid tar slutt paa jord Til tid tar slutt paa jord Hver en jævel vill Som sank i vann før tid var til... Jeg drev forlatt og vandret vill Ennu har du ikke hørt mitt hill I tomme natten skimtet jeg Et glimt av land, en evig ild... |

1. | To Thou Who Dwellest in the Night | 06:46 | Show lyrics |
Here is so desolate; Times, they are dark Words ceas’ - to end as echoes rolling afar Empathy arises whilst thou drapest this world in black; The only colour that can paint my soul Clad in the shades of night Thou reflects the pure of heart Amidst all the grief this winter unfoldeth The thorn in my side - thou retainst Thy breeze maketh me shiver Maimeth me with its frozen malice Thou minglest with the dense night I hearken to the voice of thy winds They are the saddest of all sounds of thine Never will I take leave from thy haunt Hast thou ever desired me? I receive no answer, thou letst it pass in silence... |

Together - we two over black pitch sea Even if you’ll never come here I can give you my chilling blood Forever will my soul look at the north Often my soul shall journey Until time ends on Earth As wild as a devil That sank in the water before time was I walked alone and wandered in the wilderness Still you didn’t hear my call In the empty night I can see A glare in the land, an eternal fire |

Together - we two over black pitch sea Even if you’ll never come here I can give you my chilling blood Forever will my soul look at the north Often my soul shall journey Until time ends on Earth As wild as a devil That sank in the water before time was I walked alone and wandered in the wilderness Still you didn’t hear my call In the empty night I can see A glare in the land, an eternal fire |

1. | To Thou Who Dwellest in the Night | 06:46 | Show lyrics |
Here is so desolate; Times, they are dark Words ceas’ - to end as echoes rolling afar Empathy arises whilst thou drapest this world in black; The only colour that can paint my soul Clad in the shades of night Thou reflects the pure of heart Amidst all the grief this winter unfoldeth The thorn in my side - thou retainst Thy breeze maketh me shiver Maimeth me with its frozen malice Thou minglest with the dense night I hearken to the voice of thy winds They are the saddest of all sounds of thine Never will I take leave from thy haunt Hast thou ever desired me? I receive no answer, thou letst it pass in silence... |

2. | Wintry Grey | 04:34 | Show lyrics |
Frozen streams and vapours gray, cold and waste the landscape lay... Then a hale of wind. Hither-Whirling, Thither-Swilrling, Spin the fog and spin the mist... Still we walked on through woods and wintry gray, home through woods where winter lay - Cold and dark... (Waiting for a change in the weather. Waiting for a shift in the air. Could we get there together, ever? Waiting for our late, late return) Through the woods. Home through the woods where winter lay... |

5. | The Bodkin & the Quietus (...to Reach the Stars) | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
These constellations gleaming at us from afar They give rise to frigid memories in my mind My stellar memetoes are the brightest signs that twinkle away Infinity, the faustian spirit, disheartened, by all I will never get up there alone but still I will always perceive their company I honor the farthest fall His fall, I, I... In my thirst for knowledge a new kind of thought arose. Enriched me. Their weight will always burden me. As I then fell into reverie. My (struggling) heart felt it’s end, I lifted the bodkin. I fall the final recourse and the fall, it made me tired, meltdown I fly All remembered They are the reminders of all All to us unknown, unknown. |

3. | The Chaos Path | 05:33 | Show lyrics |
Await the coming storm. Behold the sign in the Sun. Chaos upon us spawn! The arrows of time points us all. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories. Atoms like incence rising, like a thousand candles all blown out at once. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice breaks it. The spirit sails out on waters. An intergalactic sea of sorrow. Solemn oblivion with thee. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. It crawls towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. Twisten, this mortal flesh invoked again, with the echoes still haunting; The curses chanting. Embrace this outcast state of chaos. After all this unalterable. Beweep this thought, then arise with wisdom. Nowhen I hallow in the gateway of different plains. Open your heart and let go. Oh Vanish. Divine infinity. Ah, this wrath I am. So many aeons ago since. Ah I suffer eternally. The inevitable did unfold. Oh well, a collection of particles held together by the force of a soul and its memory. Be warned (you stand) on the edge of infinity; Where coloured waves will lead the way into the void. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories now. Atoms like incense rising. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. You are drawn towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. In between the arrows of time I suffer eternally. |

Poem by Edgar Allan Poe From childhood’s hour I have not been As others were - I have not seen As others saw - I could not bring My passions from a common spring From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I lov’d, I lov’d alone Then - in my childhood - in the dawn Of a most stormy life - was drawn From ev’ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain From the Sun that ’round me roll’d In it’s autumn tint of gold - From the lighting in the sky As it pass’d me flying by - From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that look the form (When the rest of heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view. |

6. | The Throne of Tragedy | 06:33 | Show lyrics |
Based on the poem «Tragediens Trone» by Jørn Henrik Sværen, is translated by the undersigned, and hereby dedicated to Kristoffer Garm Rygg Hear! From this day forth are the heights of Horeb broken and the sea of sulphur-ice. And blasphemy! in heaven’s chambers: Souls had fled their halls and closed was the book of life. And behold! The great, white throne: black with sacred blood Our father - Dead by his own hands: an epitaph worthly no king. And so is everything a nameless lie. Who, my god, am I? Man knows me as Lucifer, the serpent of old. The wretched hold my banner high. Your gift - all life! - I grant a grave Yet I am not your death. Come carry forth the crown to your once held throne. Here is where my suffering should cease - but alas; I am crowned in grief unheard of! In this lone monarchy - without a friend of foe - I greet the mourning Sun with strife and a song: Please speak my name! And leave me not in the dust of death. I am weighed down beneath the tragedy crown, - nameless, and alone, a fatherless son. |

Await the coming storm. Behold the sign in the Sun. Chaos upon us spawn! The arrows of time points us all. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories. Atoms like incence rising, like a thousand candles all blown out at once. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice breaks it. The spirit sails out on waters. An intergalactic sea of sorrow. Solemn oblivion with thee. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. It crawls towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. Twisten, this mortal flesh invoked again, with the echoes still haunting; The curses chanting. Embrace this outcast state of chaos. After all this unalterable. Beweep this thought, then arise with wisdom. Nowhen I hallow in the gateway of different plains. Open your heart and let go. Oh Vanish. Divine infinity. Ah, this wrath I am. So many aeons ago since. Ah I suffer eternally. The inevitable did unfold. Oh well, a collection of particles held together by the force of a soul and its memory. Be warned (you stand) on the edge of infinity; Where coloured waves will lead the way into the void. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories now. Atoms like incense rising. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. You are drawn towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. In between the arrows of time I suffer eternally. |

Poem by Edgar Allan Poe From childhood’s hour I have not been As others were - I have not seen As others saw - I could not bring My passions from a common spring From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I lov’d, I lov’d alone Then - in my childhood - in the dawn Of a most stormy life - was drawn From ev’ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain From the Sun that ’round me roll’d In it’s autumn tint of gold - From the lighting in the sky As it pass’d me flying by - From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that look the form (When the rest of heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view. |

6. | The Throne of Tragedy | 06:33 | Show lyrics |
Based on the poem «Tragediens Trone» by Jørn Henrik Sværen, is translated by the undersigned, and hereby dedicated to Kristoffer Garm Rygg Hear! From this day forth are the heights of Horeb broken and the sea of sulphur-ice. And blasphemy! in heaven’s chambers: Souls had fled their halls and closed was the book of life. And behold! The great, white throne: black with sacred blood Our father - Dead by his own hands: an epitaph worthly no king. And so is everything a nameless lie. Who, my god, am I? Man knows me as Lucifer, the serpent of old. The wretched hold my banner high. Your gift - all life! - I grant a grave Yet I am not your death. Come carry forth the crown to your once held throne. Here is where my suffering should cease - but alas; I am crowned in grief unheard of! In this lone monarchy - without a friend of foe - I greet the mourning Sun with strife and a song: Please speak my name! And leave me not in the dust of death. I am weighed down beneath the tragedy crown, - nameless, and alone, a fatherless son. |

Poem by Edgar Allan Poe From childhood’s hour I have not been As others were - I have not seen As others saw - I could not bring My passions from a common spring From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I lov’d, I lov’d alone Then - in my childhood - in the dawn Of a most stormy life - was drawn From ev’ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain From the Sun that ’round me roll’d In it’s autumn tint of gold - From the lighting in the sky As it pass’d me flying by - From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that look the form (When the rest of heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view. |

6. | The Throne of Tragedy | 06:33 | Show lyrics |
Based on the poem «Tragediens Trone» by Jørn Henrik Sværen, is translated by the undersigned, and hereby dedicated to Kristoffer Garm Rygg Hear! From this day forth are the heights of Horeb broken and the sea of sulphur-ice. And blasphemy! in heaven’s chambers: Souls had fled their halls and closed was the book of life. And behold! The great, white throne: black with sacred blood Our father - Dead by his own hands: an epitaph worthly no king. And so is everything a nameless lie. Who, my god, am I? Man knows me as Lucifer, the serpent of old. The wretched hold my banner high. Your gift - all life! - I grant a grave Yet I am not your death. Come carry forth the crown to your once held throne. Here is where my suffering should cease - but alas; I am crowned in grief unheard of! In this lone monarchy - without a friend of foe - I greet the mourning Sun with strife and a song: Please speak my name! And leave me not in the dust of death. I am weighed down beneath the tragedy crown, - nameless, and alone, a fatherless son. |

It was a dark night, I couldn’t see; And sences were unbound in ESP When in dream awake, I’d paint. Subconscious, the expance I saw The portal to minds eye, open! - I contemplated Who it was that pulled the strings Of those things I saw in dreadful masquerade Of stark madness went merry round with my head I passed out, embraced their world Savoured the poetry of revolt - Sheer elegy of menace I have not been the same since, I took on the profession of a devil The world I see in a grotesque light Evil perform with the gestures of a clown Pure I live in blasphemy Mephisto I am hidden in Madonnas gown From the code of common sense I’m free To(o) bad you are not here to partake my strange horror ’Cause here is where our ways will part I will not exchange this power, spring of my suffering, I do not envy the conscience pure of the blind man in his bliss world I would not be devoid the fruit of guile |

Await the coming storm. Behold the sign in the Sun. Chaos upon us spawn! The arrows of time points us all. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories. Atoms like incence rising, like a thousand candles all blown out at once. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice breaks it. The spirit sails out on waters. An intergalactic sea of sorrow. Solemn oblivion with thee. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. It crawls towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. Twisten, this mortal flesh invoked again, with the echoes still haunting; The curses chanting. Embrace this outcast state of chaos. After all this unalterable. Beweep this thought, then arise with wisdom. Nowhen I hallow in the gateway of different plains. Open your heart and let go. Oh Vanish. Divine infinity. Ah, this wrath I am. So many aeons ago since. Ah I suffer eternally. The inevitable did unfold. Oh well, a collection of particles held together by the force of a soul and its memory. Be warned (you stand) on the edge of infinity; Where coloured waves will lead the way into the void. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories now. Atoms like incense rising. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. You are drawn towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. In between the arrows of time I suffer eternally. |

("No! this face is only a mask, a wicked ornament, illuminated by an exquisite grimace, Look and see, atrociously contorted, The real head, and the sincere face Turned back under the shadow of the face which lies" Charles Baudelaire) He is profanity in sancity’s guise An alias assumed I do realize In their eyes, his cause - when enticing and cunning in impact is still a criminal and evil act So look for him vainly, He, the incarnation of magickal nature He turns unrecognizable even to the experienced eye You obsessively pursue him Failing to see, that was why he came to be one who annihilates with such impunity He appears your friend, but the Saint hides many Satans He’s contemptous, you know of your Godgiven stupidities He calls you in question with affected modesty and create of you an object of derision You think him to be pariah whom company does exclude But in the midst of all frenzy He is - feasting in a transitory mood Passion is a strict lord He is also its humble slave When bereft of common ways, He strides before you on water He makes clowns of kings, charm the guests, rides the ball Is the master of disguise Prince of the thousandfold face the charming jester’s smile which invites reason to demise and imaginations rise Inscrutable yes, venting his spleen Somewhere night and day between Is the master of disguise |

3. | The Chaos Path | 05:33 | Show lyrics |
Await the coming storm. Behold the sign in the Sun. Chaos upon us spawn! The arrows of time points us all. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories. Atoms like incence rising, like a thousand candles all blown out at once. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice breaks it. The spirit sails out on waters. An intergalactic sea of sorrow. Solemn oblivion with thee. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. It crawls towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. Twisten, this mortal flesh invoked again, with the echoes still haunting; The curses chanting. Embrace this outcast state of chaos. After all this unalterable. Beweep this thought, then arise with wisdom. Nowhen I hallow in the gateway of different plains. Open your heart and let go. Oh Vanish. Divine infinity. Ah, this wrath I am. So many aeons ago since. Ah I suffer eternally. The inevitable did unfold. Oh well, a collection of particles held together by the force of a soul and its memory. Be warned (you stand) on the edge of infinity; Where coloured waves will lead the way into the void. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories now. Atoms like incense rising. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. You are drawn towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. In between the arrows of time I suffer eternally. |

Poem by Edgar Allan Poe From childhood’s hour I have not been As others were - I have not seen As others saw - I could not bring My passions from a common spring From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I lov’d, I lov’d alone Then - in my childhood - in the dawn Of a most stormy life - was drawn From ev’ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain From the Sun that ’round me roll’d In it’s autumn tint of gold - From the lighting in the sky As it pass’d me flying by - From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that look the form (When the rest of heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view. |

Based on the poem «Tragediens Trone» by Jørn Henrik Sværen, is translated by the undersigned, and hereby dedicated to Kristoffer Garm Rygg Hear! From this day forth are the heights of Horeb broken and the sea of sulphur-ice. And blasphemy! in heaven’s chambers: Souls had fled their halls and closed was the book of life. And behold! The great, white throne: black with sacred blood Our father - Dead by his own hands: an epitaph worthly no king. And so is everything a nameless lie. Who, my god, am I? Man knows me as Lucifer, the serpent of old. The wretched hold my banner high. Your gift - all life! - I grant a grave Yet I am not your death. Come carry forth the crown to your once held throne. Here is where my suffering should cease - but alas; I am crowned in grief unheard of! In this lone monarchy - without a friend of foe - I greet the mourning Sun with strife and a song: Please speak my name! And leave me not in the dust of death. I am weighed down beneath the tragedy crown, - nameless, and alone, a fatherless son. |

Await the coming storm. Behold the sign in the Sun. Chaos upon us spawn! The arrows of time points us all. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories. Atoms like incence rising, like a thousand candles all blown out at once. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice breaks it. The spirit sails out on waters. An intergalactic sea of sorrow. Solemn oblivion with thee. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. It crawls towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. Twisten, this mortal flesh invoked again, with the echoes still haunting; The curses chanting. Embrace this outcast state of chaos. After all this unalterable. Beweep this thought, then arise with wisdom. Nowhen I hallow in the gateway of different plains. Open your heart and let go. Oh Vanish. Divine infinity. Ah, this wrath I am. So many aeons ago since. Ah I suffer eternally. The inevitable did unfold. Oh well, a collection of particles held together by the force of a soul and its memory. Be warned (you stand) on the edge of infinity; Where coloured waves will lead the way into the void. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories now. Atoms like incense rising. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. You are drawn towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. In between the arrows of time I suffer eternally. |

Poem by Edgar Allan Poe From childhood’s hour I have not been As others were - I have not seen As others saw - I could not bring My passions from a common spring From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I lov’d, I lov’d alone Then - in my childhood - in the dawn Of a most stormy life - was drawn From ev’ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain From the Sun that ’round me roll’d In it’s autumn tint of gold - From the lighting in the sky As it pass’d me flying by - From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that look the form (When the rest of heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view. |

Based on the poem «Tragediens Trone» by Jørn Henrik Sværen, is translated by the undersigned, and hereby dedicated to Kristoffer Garm Rygg Hear! From this day forth are the heights of Horeb broken and the sea of sulphur-ice. And blasphemy! in heaven’s chambers: Souls had fled their halls and closed was the book of life. And behold! The great, white throne: black with sacred blood Our father - Dead by his own hands: an epitaph worthly no king. And so is everything a nameless lie. Who, my god, am I? Man knows me as Lucifer, the serpent of old. The wretched hold my banner high. Your gift - all life! - I grant a grave Yet I am not your death. Come carry forth the crown to your once held throne. Here is where my suffering should cease - but alas; I am crowned in grief unheard of! In this lone monarchy - without a friend of foe - I greet the mourning Sun with strife and a song: Please speak my name! And leave me not in the dust of death. I am weighed down beneath the tragedy crown, - nameless, and alone, a fatherless son. |

Poem by Edgar Allan Poe From childhood’s hour I have not been As others were - I have not seen As others saw - I could not bring My passions from a common spring From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I lov’d, I lov’d alone Then - in my childhood - in the dawn Of a most stormy life - was drawn From ev’ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain From the Sun that ’round me roll’d In it’s autumn tint of gold - From the lighting in the sky As it pass’d me flying by - From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that look the form (When the rest of heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view. |

6. | The Throne of Tragedy | 06:34 | Show lyrics |
Based on the poem «Tragediens Trone» by Jørn Henrik Sværen, is translated by the undersigned, and hereby dedicated to Kristoffer Garm Rygg Hear! From this day forth are the heights of Horeb broken and the sea of sulphur-ice. And blasphemy! in heaven’s chambers: Souls had fled their halls and closed was the book of life. And behold! The great, white throne: black with sacred blood Our father - Dead by his own hands: an epitaph worthly no king. And so is everything a nameless lie. Who, my god, am I? Man knows me as Lucifer, the serpent of old. The wretched hold my banner high. Your gift - all life! - I grant a grave Yet I am not your death. Come carry forth the crown to your once held throne. Here is where my suffering should cease - but alas; I am crowned in grief unheard of! In this lone monarchy - without a friend of foe - I greet the mourning Sun with strife and a song: Please speak my name! And leave me not in the dust of death. I am weighed down beneath the tragedy crown, - nameless, and alone, a fatherless son. |

7. | Painting My Horror | 05:59 | Show lyrics |
It was a dark night, I couldn’t see; And sences were unbound in ESP When in dream awake, I’d paint. Subconscious, the expance I saw The portal to minds eye, open! - I contemplated Who it was that pulled the strings Of those things I saw in dreadful masquerade Of stark madness went merry round with my head I passed out, embraced their world Savoured the poetry of revolt - Sheer elegy of menace I have not been the same since, I took on the profession of a devil The world I see in a grotesque light Evil perform with the gestures of a clown Pure I live in blasphemy Mephisto I am hidden in Madonnas gown From the code of common sense I’m free To(o) bad you are not here to partake my strange horror ’Cause here is where our ways will part I will not exchange this power, spring of my suffering, I do not envy the conscience pure of the blind man in his bliss world I would not be devoid the fruit of guile |

8. | Of Nails and Sinners | 06:06 | Show lyrics |
("I know that without me god cannot live a moment; If I am destroyed he must give up the ghost" [Angelus Silesius] I beseech you, god to whom many sinners pray From the depth of the dark abyss where my heart fell Expelled I was from your tedious grace to the pits of hell So can please cease to deplore my opposite, may only way For aeons I descended down Till I saw the dreadful truths of which man wouldn’t know I, degraded bearer of thy sacred light - to which I never again will bow When I rise to avenge myself with darkness The anger of the damned shall flow I was cast out by the retinue of angels weak Shone to the few who me would seek A rebel I was, radiant my glow, afar, My wisdom fathomed by the morningstar And O your fools, in herdlike fright, stampede And when creation falls, you must build anew, With nails that sting my hands - They grow passionate on a lie But you know the veracious one was I |

Welcome this transmission from a fallen star Light has departed from this black sun But please put us on to bring darkness down from your head and home Our enterprise a success as return is no option our eyes were removed for our own safety The distance too great for you to hear our cries nevermind take this lamp we are beyond light We learned so little of inhuman culture before disappearance went right through us The mothership boarded by fools we escape space in order to reach our destination And if you are listening please tell us about the time where and when we exist no more For when you go we go with you via wormholes |

1. | Kinetic | 05:26 | Show lyrics |
Welcome this transmission from a fallen star Light has departed from this black sun But please put us on to bring darkness down from your head and home Our enterprise a success as return is no option our eyes were removed for our own safety The distance too great for you to hear our cries nevermind take this lamp we are beyond light We learned so little of inhuman culture before disappearance went right through us The mothership boarded by fools we escape space in order to reach our destination And if you are listening please tell us about the time where and when we exist no more For when you go we go with you via wormholes |

2. | Nightmare Heaven | 06:05 | Show lyrics |
The subjects of sleep Their faces once awake on sodomy and death and smoke and laughter their feet no longer underground The snow hides the traces never set in a first place This negative kingdom hey horrible and white the angels all stone passing their years hoping to be saved from oblivion not by oblivion And the miracle is that nothing has happened nothing has a history or a name Only the voice of falling snow |
|||
3. | Ad Absurdum | 06:48 | Show lyrics |
This dead orchestra play on instruments strung with the fibres of my mind And skeletons dance they have no voice and no complaint But I am still flesh and will not serve you vampire fools bringing you life by invoking dead I’m tired of telling stories with this ghostvoice of mine so you can say you don’t believe in ghosts You drink me animal wasted on my madness leaving me blank and empty But tonight I’m Houdini Gonna kill my shadow penetrate your sanctum See your loss through your eyes and laugh as two you not knowing why and wanting to die |

4. | Collapse Generation | 04:13 | Show lyrics |
Time is on trial Generation and collapse inside the space of things Series of inertia A trial and a time |
|||
5. | Star-Crossed | 05:01 | Show lyrics |
We- organic images dissolving Earth Our future children sure at us unfixed from a residence of stars in their sidereal ships ho sailing beyond within Their eyes black in kingdoms of gold like the rocks of this desert where we wander in circles tails up the ass of time And our vision goes backwards the traces we see after something ot even existing beyond the prints All dreams end here where our cries began resounding to museums of a world we believed neverending And we stop exhausted beginning not again And the panic like the light of some star exploding Flashing in black holes of not knowing if we ever made a away out of this mud |
|||
6. | Radical Cut | 05:08 | Show lyrics |
Spit white speech the voice is mine the skin of the slit cut cigarette size The butt size head voluptuous white cum cigarette slit the spitting line The cigarette skin white head in line the voice is white erasing mine Skin the white the radical line the cigarette butt head radical skin |
|||
7. | For to End Yet Again | 10:33 | Show lyrics |
Full of frequency an unintelligible roar of everything ever lived or altogether avoided life A storm of voices and backward thoughts through deserts of sand through gutters of shite Drums and flames our bodies in ruins and I say my name without my voice Speed increases fucking all up in a whirling wind tearing all order apart in order to rebuild order Police, police, police please stop the Euro from binar bin Laden Io paramount Pan Io Paradox Pan Don’t fight it, you’ll only whirl up all mass hysteria in your thousandfold self We lost eachother we slide unnoticeably in hallucinatory orbit around the sun the black sun oh black sun |

9. | Deception Genesis | 06:35 | Show lyrics |
Unfortunate the hoax that you are not immune For if beauty was hurt Like children naked and misused We would aspire towards states of disturbed emotions and never need to mirror off like shadows of a greater joy While moralist angels prepare their heavenly cocktail lounge In darker institutions they are beyond discipline and repentance is no option But do not dispair I know of an exit Destruction thinkers travel the other way around Where directions are none and the ground is gone Such treacherous gates to enter. Even bigger doubts inside. Doors shut from the outside and you hear the sound of someone walking away You just disappeared in a backsweep of darkness and stars |

1. | To Thou Who Dwellest in the Night | 06:46 | Show lyrics |
Here is so desolate; Times, they are dark Words ceas’ - to end as echoes rolling afar Empathy arises whilst thou drapest this world in black; The only colour that can paint my soul Clad in the shades of night Thou reflects the pure of heart Amidst all the grief this winter unfoldeth The thorn in my side - thou retainst Thy breeze maketh me shiver Maimeth me with its frozen malice Thou minglest with the dense night I hearken to the voice of thy winds They are the saddest of all sounds of thine Never will I take leave from thy haunt Hast thou ever desired me? I receive no answer, thou letst it pass in silence... |

2. | Wintry Grey | 04:34 | Show lyrics |

Here is so desolate; Times, they are dark Words ceas’ - to end as echoes rolling afar Empathy arises whilst thou drapest this world in black; The only colour that can paint my soul Clad in the shades of night Thou reflects the pure of heart Amidst all the grief this winter unfoldeth The thorn in my side - thou retainst Thy breeze maketh me shiver Maimeth me with its frozen malice Thou minglest with the dense night I hearken to the voice of thy winds They are the saddest of all sounds of thine Never will I take leave from thy haunt Hast thou ever desired me?

Frozen streams and vapours gray, cold and waste the landscape lay... Then a hale of wind. Hither-Whirling, Thither-Swilrling, Spin the fog and spin the mist... Still we walked on through woods and wintry gray, home through woods where winter lay - Cold and dark... (Waiting for a change in the weather. Waiting for a shift in the air. Could we get there together, ever? Waiting for our late, late return) Through the woods. Home through the woods where winter lay... |

These constellations gleaming at us from afar They give rise to frigid memories in my mind My stellar memetoes are the brightest signs that twinkle away Infinity, the faustian spirit, disheartened, by all I will never get up there alone but still I will always perceive their company I honor the farthest fall His fall, I, I... In my thirst for knowledge a new kind of thought arose. Enriched me. Their weight will always burden me. As I then fell into reverie. My (struggling) heart felt it’s end, I lifted the bodkin. I fall the final recourse and the fall, it made me tired, meltdown I fly All remembered They are the reminders of all All to us unknown, unknown. |

1. | Hibernation Sickness Complete | 05:02 | Show lyrics |
Probing a voiceless void Searching for a closure Poisoned tentacles from the past Are tumbling fumbling closer Mood set On full scale regret Peaking an all time low Distorted patterns no sight with this lantern But a bleak recollection of something undone A banished vanished presence Of the unspeakable secretive kind The uttermost shame is its essence The septic transforms the shellshocked and blind A nightmare released a terrible disease Lurking behind a thin wall of sleep The jail-bars of a stigmatized keep Across the crumbling layers A tricky haze of control Beyond matter the untouchable scatter The cracks are beginning to show Small gaps out of time with riddles entwined Looking over my shoulder for some kind of cover All I can find to bring peace of mind Is that this bloodstained route Will carry the strangest of fruits Not to turn away tainted But look into the deep and weep Hibernation sickness complete |

2. | Shipwrecked Frontier Pioneer | 08:32 | Show lyrics |
Mechanical shutdown due to reactorcore meltdown And outdated parts collapsed and discharged Autopilot on emergency power from Random fuel devoured Red alert sirens sighing Rusty pipelines dying Empty hull shatter into cold dark matter Unknownspacepioneer the end draws near What once was acrobatically flying Is now burnt out and dying Now that I am shipwrecked A piece of shit falling Through space and time Moaning oh why oh why did not I Just stop in time Knowing the answer I am dirty as a cancer Once a virus like me is set free Old grim flashes his grin And violently introduces A shortcut for losers Drop all illusions as I pop the next fuse in confusion Transvesting the mind evolving past mankind Unknownspaceadorer toxicwasteexplorer Lost in free will time stand still Full front on Drifting here in the outer rim As a piece of spacejunk No valuables within A scraphead of sin Too much acid in these batteries Leaking out its filthy grease Disband all current settings to standard default Fall and arise you diamond of lies You know what is wise Fire or ice That’s when I find Hyperspace-central-divine A pitstopmaintenance hall for the mind Satanic protectors of my kind I shop some new parts Re-plugged and charged I head towards the stars Knowing that this trip Will be my last slip |

3. | Deamonpainter | 05:33 | Show lyrics |
Walking among shadows Shady characters of faded casts Acting out their last role Beautiful lonely stars These are my people These fallen stars You may think you see us You never had a part Flickering performance On a burning stage In naked daylight For you to hate Directing the audience I paint in tones of gray In shades of black In cold dismay I paint my deamons As scars of blood In a barren landscape Where all is lost |

4. | Nocturnal Vision Revisited | 05:16 | Show lyrics |
The echoes of a dream I dreamt In a distant past is here at last Drowning me fast Why are the ripples so old and vast Catching up to me? What did I see? The tower of life, or was it death Erected by the sea The spawn of the Earth was flocking to Some went to the top others halted up At different levels people threw themselves at the waves And when they fell in they were all dead as sin I climbed up to the very top Wanting to see all that can be Why waste a wicked view When after all all and all To our death will fall To our death we fall This foretelling I knew to be deeper than words And true as pain hurts Now I am in free flight It does not feel right No time to think I!ll be gone in a wink In between waking and true sleep What I find I treasure and keep The tower of wisdom The fall to the deep |

5. | Evacuation Code Deciphered | 06:16 | Show lyrics |
Change channel I am bored again Take five and restart the game I suggest a different approach Remake the world with a devilish touch Evolution is a too slow ghost Relax and sit back I am your new host Fantastic elastic all things can be spastic No room for bore press enter and store We live in small shells put that on a shelf E.S.P. for all big and small Saga-lore mature splendor Ragamuffin saga-puffin all you can snort Electric eyes for sparkling flies Will be much more fun for the rejects and dumb So what do you change In your realm of decadence King or queen or something snotty between Worlds shatter to darkness without matter No matter no matter we stole Too far from home Rid your shoulders of this stone Which direction is up What way to the top It seems we are lost This is no place to linger Let your throat embrace your finger Evacuate this tomb There is always an exit For aliens infected Our race Seems we crashed on the way Two dried-up bugs trapped in the same web Slimy slugs on a busy rainy highway You and I are not lost without words We can live again without rebirth Two old drunks sharing the same cup A pair of fools sailing where no wind blows A band of burglars stealing traces from their lost shoes |

6. | Moonshine Delirium | 07:10 | Show lyrics |
Third night in flight My body says no but my mind says go Moonshine delirium what is that lurking behind the curtain There at an instant then gone with a flash Defeating all resistance something there I cannot grasp There is no tomorrow gone beyond sorrow under a sheltering mask Hail to you thousand-faced all trapped in the haze Dandies bandits tramps and champs Beloved freaks and cheeky sneaks Homeless heroes without dineros Vampire-fools and exotic ghouls mongoshitfacedtabletwisters salut! And open chute |

7. | White Noise Monster | 03:55 | Show lyrics |
Crowded mind working overtime in a shrinking stinking home A presence arrives just out of sight Hides in the maze collects all mistakes White noise withering weeds of deeds worshiping with filth in the temple of guilt Filing its womb with pleasure and doom Monstrous urban paranoia sweeping over my mine-field mind Trigging random horrors cause and effect is a bittersweet sect And I am a priest of loons and carrier of wounds a battle fatigued random seed Placed on this Earth and fucked up from birth Who gives a flying shit anyway In a room without view I cold-sweat and drew My theories of everything and anything would do Reading the mind of mankind’s deamon Pushing the line forward all the time A deep-space satellite on light-speed depressed Torn and obsessed by a lifetime of jests |

Med gufs og hyl jeg visner marken Ett uggent gys skiller ved og barken Ser tilbake på frost og tåke Natt som dag i evig våke Gold kulde river Mot lys jeg driver Men alle glør dør der Der hvor jeg hviler min bør Alltid alene Der finnes ingen som kan vandre med meg Evig vinter er hva jeg er Du er tedd når jeg er nær Sjelen søker evig varme Allt den får en ensom harme Markens grøde for all tid øde Der jeg setter mitt spor Min sorg et større enn ord |

The tower of life, or was it death Erected by the sea The spawn of the Earth was flocking to Some went to the top others halted up At different levels people threw themselves at the waves And when they fell in they were all dead as sin I climbed up to the very top Wanting to see all that can be Why waste a wicked view When after all all and all To our death will fall To our death we fall This foretelling I knew to be deeper than words And true as pain hurts Now I am in free flight It does not feel right No time to think I!ll be gone in a wink In between waking and true sleep What I find I treasure and keep The tower of wisdom The fall to the deep |

Change channel I am bored again Take five and restart the game I suggest a different approach Remake the world with a devilish touch Evolution is a too slow ghost Relax and sit back I am your new host Fantastic elastic all things can be spastic No room for bore press enter and store We live in small shells put that on a shelf E.S.P. for all big and small Saga-lore mature splendor Ragamuffin saga-puffin all you can snort Electric eyes for sparkling flies Will be much more fun for the rejects and dumb So what do you change In your realm of decadence King or queen or something snotty between Worlds shatter to darkness without matter No matter no matter we stole Too far from home Rid your shoulders of this stone Which direction is up What way to the top It seems we are lost This is no place to linger Let your throat embrace your finger Evacuate this tomb There is always an exit For aliens infected Our race Seems we crashed on the way Two dried-up bugs trapped in the same web Slimy slugs on a busy rainy highway You and I are not lost without words We can live again without rebirth Two old drunks sharing the same cup A pair of fools sailing where no wind blows A band of burglars stealing traces from their lost shoes |

Third night in flight My body says no but my mind says go Moonshine delirium what is that lurking behind the curtain There at an instant then gone with a flash Defeating all resistance something there I cannot grasp There is no tomorrow gone beyond sorrow under a sheltering mask Hail to you thousand-faced all trapped in the haze Dandies bandits tramps and champs Beloved freaks and cheeky sneaks Homeless heroes without dineros Vampire-fools and exotic ghouls mongoshitfacedtabletwisters salut!

7. | White Noise Monster | 03:55 | Show lyrics |
Crowded mind working overtime in a shrinking stinking home A presence arrives just out of sight Hides in the maze collects all mistakes White noise withering weeds of deeds worshiping with filth in the temple of guilt Filing its womb with pleasure and doom Monstrous urban paranoia sweeping over my mine-field mind Trigging random horrors cause and effect is a bittersweet sect And I am a priest of loons and carrier of wounds a battle fatigued random seed Placed on this Earth and fucked up from birth Who gives a flying shit anyway In a room without view I cold-sweat and drew My theories of everything and anything would do Reading the mind of mankind’s deamon Pushing the line forward all the time A deep-space satellite on light-speed depressed Torn and obsessed by a lifetime of jests |

Med gufs og hyl jeg visner marken Ett uggent gys skiller ved og barken Ser tilbake på frost og tåke Natt som dag i evig våke Gold kulde river Mot lys jeg driver Men alle glør dør der Der hvor jeg hviler min bør Alltid alene Der finnes ingen som kan vandre med meg Evig vinter er hva jeg er Du er tedd når jeg er nær Sjelen søker evig varme Allt den får en ensom harme Markens grøde for all tid øde Der jeg setter mitt spor Min sorg et større enn ord |

1. | Hibernation Sickness Complete | 05:02 | Show lyrics |
Probing a voiceless void Searching for a closure Poisoned tentacles from the past Are tumbling fumbling closer Mood set On full scale regret Peaking an all time low Distorted patterns no sight with this lantern But a bleak recollection of something undone A banished vanished presence Of the unspeakable secretive kind The uttermost shame is its essence The septic transforms the shellshocked and blind A nightmare released a terrible disease Lurking behind a thin wall of sleep The jail-bars of a stigmatized keep Across the crumbling layers A tricky haze of control Beyond matter the untouchable scatter The cracks are beginning to show Small gaps out of time with riddles entwined Looking over my shoulder for some kind of cover All I can find to bring peace of mind Is that this bloodstained route Will carry the strangest of fruits Not to turn away tainted But look into the deep and weep Hibernation sickness complete |

1. | Hibernation Sickness Complete | 05:02 | Show lyrics |
Probing a voiceless void Searching for a closure Poisoned tentacles from the past Are tumbling fumbling closer Mood set On full scale regret Peaking an all time low Distorted patterns no sight with this lantern But a bleak recollection of something undone A banished vanished presence Of the unspeakable secretive kind The uttermost shame is its essence The septic transforms the shellshocked and blind A nightmare released a terrible disease Lurking behind a thin wall of sleep The jail-bars of a stigmatized keep Across the crumbling layers A tricky haze of control Beyond matter the untouchable scatter The cracks are beginning to show Small gaps out of time with riddles entwined Looking over my shoulder for some kind of cover All I can find to bring peace of mind Is that this bloodstained route Will carry the strangest of fruits Not to turn away tainted But look into the deep and weep Hibernation sickness complete |

2. | Shipwrecked Frontier Pioneer | 08:32 | Show lyrics |
Mechanical shutdown due to reactorcore meltdown And outdated parts collapsed and discharged Autopilot on emergency power from Random fuel devoured Red alert sirens sighing Rusty pipelines dying Empty hull shatter into cold dark matter Unknownspacepioneer the end draws near What once was acrobatically flying Is now burnt out and dying Now that I am shipwrecked A piece of shit falling Through space and time Moaning oh why oh why did not I Just stop in time Knowing the answer I am dirty as a cancer Once a virus like me is set free Old grim flashes his grin And violently introduces A shortcut for losers Drop all illusions as I pop the next fuse in confusion Transvesting the mind evolving past mankind Unknownspaceadorer toxicwasteexplorer Lost in free will time stand still Full front on Drifting here in the outer rim As a piece of spacejunk No valuables within A scraphead of sin Too much acid in these batteries Leaking out its filthy grease Disband all current settings to standard default Fall and arise you diamond of lies You know what is wise Fire or ice That’s when I find Hyperspace-central-divine A pitstopmaintenance hall for the mind Satanic protectors of my kind I shop some new parts Re-plugged and charged I head towards the stars Knowing that this trip Will be my last slip |

3. | Deamonpainter | 05:33 | Show lyrics |
Walking among shadows Shady characters of faded casts Acting out their last role Beautiful lonely stars These are my people These fallen stars You may think you see us You never had a part Flickering performance On a burning stage In naked daylight For you to hate Directing the audience I paint in tones of gray In shades of black In cold dismay I paint my deamons As scars of blood In a barren landscape Where all is lost |
|||
4. | Nocturnal Vision Revisited | 05:16 | Show lyrics |
The echoes of a dream I dreamt In a distant past is here at last Drowning me fast Why are the ripples so old and vast Catching up to me? What did I see? The tower of life, or was it death Erected by the sea The spawn of the Earth was flocking to Some went to the top others halted up At different levels people threw themselves at the waves And when they fell in they were all dead as sin I climbed up to the very top Wanting to see all that can be Why waste a wicked view When after all all and all To our death will fall To our death we fall This foretelling I knew to be deeper than words And true as pain hurts Now I am in free flight It does not feel right No time to think I!ll be gone in a wink In between waking and true sleep What I find I treasure and keep The tower of wisdom The fall to the deep |

5. | Evacuation Code Deciphered | 06:16 | Show lyrics |
Change channel I am bored again Take five and restart the game I suggest a different approach Remake the world with a devilish touch Evolution is a too slow ghost Relax and sit back I am your new host Fantastic elastic all things can be spastic No room for bore press enter and store We live in small shells put that on a shelf E.S.P. for all big and small Saga-lore mature splendor Ragamuffin saga-puffin all you can snort Electric eyes for sparkling flies Will be much more fun for the rejects and dumb So what do you change In your realm of decadence King or queen or something snotty between Worlds shatter to darkness without matter No matter no matter we stole Too far from home Rid your shoulders of this stone Which direction is up What way to the top It seems we are lost This is no place to linger Let your throat embrace your finger Evacuate this tomb There is always an exit For aliens infected Our race Seems we crashed on the way Two dried-up bugs trapped in the same web Slimy slugs on a busy rainy highway You and I are not lost without words We can live again without rebirth Two old drunks sharing the same cup A pair of fools sailing where no wind blows A band of burglars stealing traces from their lost shoes |

6. | Moonshine Delirium | 07:10 | Show lyrics |
Third night in flight My body says no but my mind says go Moonshine delirium what is that lurking behind the curtain There at an instant then gone with a flash Defeating all resistance something there I cannot grasp There is no tomorrow gone beyond sorrow under a sheltering mask Hail to you thousand-faced all trapped in the haze Dandies bandits tramps and champs Beloved freaks and cheeky sneaks Homeless heroes without dineros Vampire-fools and exotic ghouls mongoshitfacedtabletwisters salut! And open chute |

7. | White Noise Monster | 03:55 | Show lyrics |
Crowded mind working overtime in a shrinking stinking home A presence arrives just out of sight Hides in the maze collects all mistakes White noise withering weeds of deeds worshiping with filth in the temple of guilt Filing its womb with pleasure and doom Monstrous urban paranoia sweeping over my mine-field mind Trigging random horrors cause and effect is a bittersweet sect And I am a priest of loons and carrier of wounds a battle fatigued random seed Placed on this Earth and fucked up from birth Who gives a flying shit anyway In a room without view I cold-sweat and drew My theories of everything and anything would do Reading the mind of mankind’s deamon Pushing the line forward all the time A deep-space satellite on light-speed depressed Torn and obsessed by a lifetime of jests |

Med gufs og hyl jeg visner marken Ett uggent gys skiller ved og barken Ser tilbake på frost og tåke Natt som dag i evig våke Gold kulde river Mot lys jeg driver Men alle glør dør der Der hvor jeg hviler min bør Alltid alene Der finnes ingen som kan vandre med meg Evig vinter er hva jeg er Du er tedd når jeg er nær Sjelen søker evig varme Allt den får en ensom harme Markens grøde for all tid øde Der jeg setter mitt spor Min sorg et større enn ord |

5. | Alone | 06:28 | Show lyrics |
Poem by Edgar Allan Poe From childhood’s hour I have not been As others were - I have not seen As others saw - I could not bring My passions from a common spring From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I lov’d, I lov’d alone Then - in my childhood - in the dawn Of a most stormy life - was drawn From ev’ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain From the Sun that ’round me roll’d In it’s autumn tint of gold - From the lighting in the sky As it pass’d me flying by - From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that look the form (When the rest of heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view. |
|||
6. | Deception Genesis | 06:54 | Show lyrics |
Unfortunate the hoax That you are not immune For if beauty was hurt Like children naked and misused We would aspire towards States of disturbed emotions And never need to mirror off Like shadows of a greater joy While moralist angels prepare Their heavenly cocktail lounge In darker institutions They are beyond discipline And repentance is no option But do not despair I know of an exit Destruction thinkers travel The other way around Where directions are none And the ground is gone Such treacherous gates to enter Even bigger doubts inside Doors shut from the outside And you hear the sound Of someone walking away You just disappeared In a backsweep Of darkness and stars |

7. | The Chaos Path | 06:37 | Show lyrics |
Await the coming storm. Behold the sign in the Sun. Chaos upon us spawn! The arrows of time points us all. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories. Atoms like incence rising, like a thousand candles all blown out at once. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice breaks it. The spirit sails out on waters. An intergalactic sea of sorrow. Solemn oblivion with thee. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. It crawls towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. Twisten, this mortal flesh invoked again, with the echoes still haunting; The curses chanting. Embrace this outcast state of chaos. After all this unalterable. Beweep this thought, then arise with wisdom. Nowhen I hallow in the gateway of different plains. Open your heart and let go. Oh Vanish. Divine infinity. Ah, this wrath I am. So many aeons ago since. Ah I suffer eternally. The inevitable did unfold. Oh well, a collection of particles held together by the force of a soul and its memory. Be warned (you stand) on the edge of infinity; Where coloured waves will lead the way into the void. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories now. Atoms like incense rising. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. You are drawn towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. In between the arrows of time I suffer eternally. |

("No! this face is only a mask, a wicked ornament, illuminated by an exquisite grimace, Look and see, atrociously contorted, The real head, and the sincere face Turned back under the shadow of the face which lies" Charles Baudelaire) He is profanity in sancity’s guise An alias assumed I do realize In their eyes, his cause - when enticing and cunning in impact is still a criminal and evil act So look for him vainly, He, the incarnation of magickal nature He turns unrecognizable even to the experienced eye You obsessively pursue him Failing to see, that was why he came to be one who annihilates with such impunity He appears your friend, but the Saint hides many Satans He’s contemptous, you know of your Godgiven stupidities He calls you in question with affected modesty and create of you an object of derision You think him to be pariah whom company does exclude But in the midst of all frenzy He is - feasting in a transitory mood Passion is a strict lord He is also its humble slave When bereft of common ways, He strides before you on water He makes clowns of kings, charm the guests, rides the ball Is the master of disguise Prince of the thousandfold face the charming jester’s smile which invites reason to demise and imaginations rise Inscrutable yes, venting his spleen Somewhere night and day between Is the master of disguise |

Poem by Edgar Allan Poe From childhood’s hour I have not been As others were - I have not seen As others saw - I could not bring My passions from a common spring From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I lov’d, I lov’d alone Then - in my childhood - in the dawn Of a most stormy life - was drawn From ev’ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain From the Sun that ’round me roll’d In it’s autumn tint of gold - From the lighting in the sky As it pass’d me flying by - From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that look the form (When the rest of heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view. |

Unfortunate the hoax That you are not immune For if beauty was hurt Like children naked and misused We would aspire towards States of disturbed emotions And never need to mirror off Like shadows of a greater joy While moralist angels prepare Their heavenly cocktail lounge In darker institutions They are beyond discipline And repentance is no option But do not despair I know of an exit Destruction thinkers travel The other way around Where directions are none And the ground is gone Such treacherous gates to enter Even bigger doubts inside Doors shut from the outside And you hear the sound Of someone walking away You just disappeared In a backsweep Of darkness and stars |

7. | The Chaos Path | 06:37 | Show lyrics |
Await the coming storm. Behold the sign in the Sun. Chaos upon us spawn! The arrows of time points us all. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories. Atoms like incence rising, like a thousand candles all blown out at once. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice breaks it. The spirit sails out on waters. An intergalactic sea of sorrow. Solemn oblivion with thee. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. It crawls towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. Twisten, this mortal flesh invoked again, with the echoes still haunting; The curses chanting. Embrace this outcast state of chaos. After all this unalterable. Beweep this thought, then arise with wisdom. Nowhen I hallow in the gateway of different plains. Open your heart and let go. Oh Vanish. Divine infinity. Ah, this wrath I am. So many aeons ago since. Ah I suffer eternally. The inevitable did unfold. Oh well, a collection of particles held together by the force of a soul and its memory. Be warned (you stand) on the edge of infinity; Where coloured waves will lead the way into the void. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories now. Atoms like incense rising. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. You are drawn towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. In between the arrows of time I suffer eternally. |

The echoes of a dream I dreamt In a distant past is here at last Drowning me fast Why are the ripples so old and vast Catching up to me? What did I see? The tower of life, or was it death Erected by the sea The spawn of the Earth was flocking to Some went to the top others halted up At different levels people threw themselves at the waves And when they fell in they were all dead as sin I climbed up to the very top Wanting to see all that can be Why waste a wicked view When after all all and all To our death will fall To our death we fall This foretelling I knew to be deeper than words And true as pain hurts Now I am in free flight It does not feel right No time to think I!ll be gone in a wink In between waking and true sleep What I find I treasure and keep The tower of wisdom The fall to the deep |

Subconscious, the expance I saw The portal to minds eye, open! - I contemplated Who it was that pulled the strings Of those things I saw in dreadful masquerade Of stark madness went merry round with my head I passed out, embraced their world Savoured the poetry of revolt - Sheer elegy of menace I have not been the same since, I took on the profession of a devil The world I see in a grotesque light Evil perform with the gestures of a clown Pure I live in blasphemy Mephisto I am hidden in Madonnas gown From the code of common sense I’m free To(o) bad you are not here to partake my strange horror ’Cause here is where our ways will part I will not exchange this power, spring of my suffering, I do not envy the conscience pure of the blind man in his bliss world I would not be devoid the fruit of guile |

Walking among shadows Shady characters of faded casts Acting out their last role Beautiful lonely stars These are my people These fallen stars You may think you see us You never had a part Flickering performance On a burning stage In naked daylight For you to hate Directing the audience I paint in tones of gray In shades of black In cold dismay I paint my deamons As scars of blood In a barren landscape Where all is lost |

The echoes of a dream I dreamt In a distant past is here at last Drowning me fast Why are the ripples so old and vast Catching up to me? What did I see? The tower of life, or was it death Erected by the sea The spawn of the Earth was flocking to Some went to the top others halted up At different levels people threw themselves at the waves And when they fell in they were all dead as sin I climbed up to the very top Wanting to see all that can be Why waste a wicked view When after all all and all To our death will fall To our death we fall This foretelling I knew to be deeper than words And true as pain hurts Now I am in free flight It does not feel right No time to think I!ll be gone in a wink In between waking and true sleep What I find I treasure and keep The tower of wisdom The fall to the deep |

It was a dark night, I couldn’t see; And sences were unbound in ESP When in dream awake, I’d paint. Subconscious, the expance I saw The portal to minds eye, open! - I contemplated Who it was that pulled the strings Of those things I saw in dreadful masquerade Of stark madness went merry round with my head I passed out, embraced their world Savoured the poetry of revolt - Sheer elegy of menace I have not been the same since, I took on the profession of a devil The world I see in a grotesque light Evil perform with the gestures of a clown Pure I live in blasphemy Mephisto I am hidden in Madonnas gown From the code of common sense I’m free To(o) bad you are not here to partake my strange horror ’Cause here is where our ways will part I will not exchange this power, spring of my suffering, I do not envy the conscience pure of the blind man in his bliss world I would not be devoid the fruit of guile |

Poem by Edgar Allan Poe From childhood’s hour I have not been As others were - I have not seen As others saw - I could not bring My passions from a common spring From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I lov’d, I lov’d alone Then - in my childhood - in the dawn Of a most stormy life - was drawn From ev’ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain From the Sun that ’round me roll’d In it’s autumn tint of gold - From the lighting in the sky As it pass’d me flying by - From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that look the form (When the rest of heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view. |

6. | Deception Genesis | 06:54 | Show lyrics |
Unfortunate the hoax That you are not immune For if beauty was hurt Like children naked and misused We would aspire towards States of disturbed emotions And never need to mirror off Like shadows of a greater joy While moralist angels prepare Their heavenly cocktail lounge In darker institutions They are beyond discipline And repentance is no option But do not despair I know of an exit Destruction thinkers travel The other way around Where directions are none And the ground is gone Such treacherous gates to enter Even bigger doubts inside Doors shut from the outside And you hear the sound Of someone walking away You just disappeared In a backsweep Of darkness and stars |

7. | The Chaos Path | 06:37 | Show lyrics |
Await the coming storm. Behold the sign in the Sun. Chaos upon us spawn! The arrows of time points us all. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories. Atoms like incence rising, like a thousand candles all blown out at once. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice breaks it. The spirit sails out on waters. An intergalactic sea of sorrow. Solemn oblivion with thee. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. It crawls towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. Twisten, this mortal flesh invoked again, with the echoes still haunting; The curses chanting. Embrace this outcast state of chaos. After all this unalterable. Beweep this thought, then arise with wisdom. Nowhen I hallow in the gateway of different plains. Open your heart and let go. Oh Vanish. Divine infinity. Ah, this wrath I am. So many aeons ago since. Ah I suffer eternally. The inevitable did unfold. Oh well, a collection of particles held together by the force of a soul and its memory. Be warned (you stand) on the edge of infinity; Where coloured waves will lead the way into the void. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories now. Atoms like incense rising. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. You are drawn towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. In between the arrows of time I suffer eternally. |

Unfortunate the hoax That you are not immune For if beauty was hurt Like children naked and misused We would aspire towards States of disturbed emotions And never need to mirror off Like shadows of a greater joy While moralist angels prepare Their heavenly cocktail lounge In darker institutions They are beyond discipline And repentance is no option But do not despair I know of an exit Destruction thinkers travel The other way around Where directions are none And the ground is gone Such treacherous gates to enter Even bigger doubts inside Doors shut from the outside And you hear the sound Of someone walking away You just disappeared In a backsweep Of darkness and stars |

6. | The Chaos Path | 05:18 | Show lyrics |
Await the coming storm. Behold the sign in the sun. Chaos upon us spawn! The arrows of time points us all. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories. Atoms like incence rising, like a thousand candles all blown out at once. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice breaks it. The spirit sails out on waters. An intergalactic sea of sorrow. Solemn oblivion with thee. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. It crawls towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. Twisten, this mortal flesh invoked again, with the echoes still haunting; The curses chanting. Embrace this outcast state of chaos. After all this unalterable. Beweep this thought, then arise with wisdom. Nowhen I hallow in the gateway of different plains. Open your heart and let go. Oh Vanish. Divine infinity. Ah, this wrath I am. So many aeons ago since. Ah I suffer eternally. The inevitable did unfold. Oh well, a collection of particles held together by the force of a soul and its memory. Be warned (you stand) on the edge of infinity; Where coloured waves will lead the way into the void. Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice. Oh, well, the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories now. Atoms like incense rising. Ways of darkness. The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts. Ethereal eternity awaits the final act. You are drawn towards the altar destined to collapse. Tragic legend, eerie stratum. In between the arrows of time I suffer eternally. |

Subconscious, the expance I saw The portal to minds eye, open! - I contemplated Who it was that pulled the strings Of those things I saw in dreadful masquerade Of stark madness went merry round with my head I passed out, embraced their world Savoured the poetry of revolt - Sheer elegy of menace I have not been the same since, I took on the profession of a devil The world I see in a grotesque light Evil perform with the gestures of a clown Pure I live in blasphemy Mephisto I am hidden in Madonnas gown From the code of common sense I’m free To bad you are not here to partake my strange horror ’Cause here is where our ways will part I will not exchange this power, spring of my suffering, I do not envy the conscience pure of the blind man in his bliss world I would not be devoid the fruit of guile |

Poem by Edgar Allan Poe From childhood’s hour I have not been As others were - I have not seen As others saw - I could not bring My passions from a common spring From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I lov’d, I lov’d alone Then - in my childhood - in the dawn Of a most stormy life - was drawn From ev’ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain From the Sun that ’round me roll’d In it’s autumn tint of gold - From the lighting in the sky As it pass’d me flying by - From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that look the form (When the rest of heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view. |

Ut av nok en sving Mitt system er av Jek skjønner ingen verdens ting Hva gjorde jeg i går Jeg vet godt at noe er galt Min verdighet forgår Som snørr av størknet blod Stivner kropp og sjel i angst nå som jeg vil ha ro Svetten starter kaldt og klamt Slik rusens uttogsmarsj alltid byr meg opp til dans Her kommer nervene stygge bedervede De skyller over meg de skyter igjennom meg De herjer i min kropp uten stopp Hjertet hamrer kroppen skjelver katta ser på meg Grå tømmermenn er her igjen de vil ha hevn Tann for tann ute av stand jeg lar meg skjende nå Så (muligens:) neste gang jeg føler trang vil herdet sinn snu tap til vinn Skinnhellig tyn kom tunnelsyn gjør meg hard og seig Bygg karakter jeg vill ha mer det skal gå opp og ned En elegant nonchalant trinnløs ladd kanon Feil er rett fett er fett jeg blir aldri mett |

In search of marbles long since misplaced I give in... to yet another day... Sheltered from revealing light Kept out of sight Where sick minds bite Institutionalized I sleepwalk through my life The years pass by like fimbulwinter seasons Inside a darkness I do not own A bright portal void shows me where I long It’s out of reach you see The piping pills set no one free Here I stand glued in blood I just want to belong Nailed by some cruel device Leave me be The void is me yeah I know you see: "Ambition is the last refuge of failure" Every step a dead end street Must power up get me on my feet I’ve frozen space and time To warp alive inside my mind There is no place like home I just want to belong |

Sheltered from revealing light Kept out of sight Where sick minds bite Institutionalized I sleepwalk through my life The years pass by like fimbulwinter seasons Inside a darkness I do not own A bright portal void shows me where I long It’s out of reach you see The piping pills set no one free Here I stand glued in blood I just want to belong Nailed by some cruel device Leave me be The void is me yeah I know you see: "Ambition is the last refuge of failure" Every step a dead end street Must power up get me on my feet I’ve frozen space and time To warp alive inside my mind There is no place like home I just want to belong |

You know the doors that spell disaster I unlock You feel my presence now your stomach is a knot Open minds can be leveled up by me The devil’s blood holds one eight of an ounce And the saying goes for each seal you close Another path is lit Relax it’s just a hit Into your trance I float to sleep This well may drown but I go deep End game set me free One up you calm my sea Enter 123 Easy now so easily Burn the bridge and be All that is real to me Into the flaming void I flee All legends wither You know forever is a lie The game is over In the blink of an eye Not tonight You turn me round oh yes I am easy to judge You win it is over Game over Addiction traps All collapse I don’t care When it’s over It’s over Game over |

Loaded Exploded Drone Far gone A groke obscure Forevermore A vortex Black hole A ghost ship glide with the city tide Twisted drifting shell With strung out sail I leave no trail Live to fail Out of luck I don’t give a fuck Beam me up or suck my cock I can’t remember the downfall King turning slave first foot in the grave White faces round me whisper again This is permanent Permanent I fed desire a mind burning fire Now nothing can put it to rest Storm seeking on the dead die alone All my connections Blown |

Out of the vacuum it came Northern aggression grew into a life form Obsessing its code into man The lords of words unspoken Dormant hate obscure awoken Visions grew stale black turned pale "Time you slayer of kings Gnaws iron bites steel Grinds hard stone to meal" (J.R.R.T.) War zone of the gods Ablaze was the sky Where the ash fell the echo still dwell Of times when words unspoken Where strong as iron steel and mountain Visions grew stale black turned pale Young men of hate and fire Burn your gods on the funeral pyre Before visions turn pale Misanthropic devils mocking mind controlling priests Fundamental freedom count the number of the beast Religion VS will of man fresh blood spite and balls True rebellion rock and roll / fear of the unknown Sacrilegious blasphemy A game changer of notes Pioneers of a different kind wolfs among goats Deep water stale and black it may pale but the legacy prevail Space-time slice in stranger ways Whatever it unveils |

Last transmission from a dying bloated fallen star Time is ripe for me to leave this station A carrier of doorways at the gates of no return Poetic justice burn Never mind true north at the heart This beat up lonely vessel falls apart Departure for a flying start I circle in the center like an archer Marksmen of a certain kind already know the answer Readjusting the course No remorse Ride the Arcturian horse Coma rider flown Into the vast unknown |

I want out of this plane Riding hard For one too many a day Elude at all cost All meaning is lost Hope dies last My escape I forecast Over the rainbow And into the vast Deep unknown Alienated so alien I go The plans came to me in a vision Behold my hands Guided by the supernatural And the spiral it spirals Plot the way trip away tip the scale The stars align the fuel is fine And we explode into oblivion The Arcturian sign |

A flooding slowly calms the restlessness That’s what it’s like when I’m with you Fire! Candle burning dual flames The void ignites again Shapeshifter take us all the way The devil is in the details baby No one remains the same With the mysteries in front of me I drop my guard and you set me free I plunge into the great unknown Wired wrong Come on! They say this race spawn Only losers in the long run I know my heart can’t take the strain Right now it’s pointless To remind me of the preachers I paint with different shades of gray Fire away! Dual flames meet clashing shadows Master any space Easy on the crush Pendulumswingingdoomsdayhoney Changer of wars With the mysteries in front of me I drop my guard and you set me free I plunge into the great unknown Wired! Wired! Wired! Strong! Crash-land kings and queens Take care by all means |

Ut av nok en sving Mitt system er av Jek skjønner ingen verdens ting Hva gjorde jeg i går Jeg vet godt at noe er galt Min verdighet forgår Som snørr av størknet blod Stivner kropp og sjel i angst nå som jeg vil ha ro Svetten starter kaldt og klamt Slik rusens uttogsmarsj alltid byr meg opp til dans Her kommer nervene stygge bedervede De skyller over meg de skyter igjennom meg De herjer i min kropp uten stopp Hjertet hamrer kroppen skjelver katta ser på meg Grå tømmermenn er her igjen de vil ha hevn Tann for tann ute av stand jeg lar meg skjende nå Så (muligens:) neste gang jeg føler trang vil herdet sinn snu tap til vinn Skinnhellig tyn kom tunnelsyn gjør meg hard og seig Bygg karakter jeg vill ha mer det skal gå opp og ned En elegant nonchalant trinnløs ladd kanon Feil er rett fett er fett jeg blir aldri mett |
