Vårt hat skal vinne. Vår ondskap skal gro. A feste seg i unge sjeler. Den siste krig skal vi vinne, Og de godes blod skal falle som regn. Deres korte sjeler skal samles. Vi skal rå de over kaos og evig natt. Vi skal glemme de kvinnelig vakante mødre, Og utslette alt. Et rike skal reiset seg, I asken av brennte hjem, Det er kun en herre hersker, Vi heller deg Satan de sterkes konge. Din tid er kommet.
Langt om lenge det stormens blest Slår tidevannets sprekninger Slår hav på en skatt Har snart alle skogstjern frosset Og snøen dekker en fjelltopp Stripels kriger traust han var Som satte sitt mot i gammel tid Vandrer hen til dodoy skar etter sin bane Storgildt strid Bleser bleknede blåners land Overforlatt og dunkel jord Og bra for fedre som har seiret Norskehavets skumrings fjord Reisen gjennom dimmen er grå For meg er den et skall av forfars liv Blesne blekne blåner fjell Inn i en gråvendt natt Jeg reiser over bleknede blåners fjell Og her i mørket er jeg forlatt Snart har snø tynget hver en grend Snart har kong vinter beseiret jord Her hvor en gang de gamle falt i marken For å legge den øde øy Og gjøre den ren Over bleknede blåners fjell Jeg drar i dens dunkle mørkmanns ord Over land hvor fedres kamp har seiret Hvor vikingsverd satte tydelig spor
Svunne tider pajotuns vei Der over hoye klipper og fjell Har merket den med stov og aske Fra dengang alders hirder Vandret pa disse kanter Her gandviks bergtroll trampet frem I ondt og strrt et tussefolge Hvor ferdafolk fant stor en visdom Om landets skogsliv og morke sider Her pa stien som bukter seg uendelig frem Mellom berg hvor de vanskelig fremdeles Kan oynes i horisonten Sa storslatt det ma ha v?rt Og speide ut over alt dette Og a vandre sa alene og fri En hostkveld i en kald og lett take Slik som mange for meg har opplevd Og som mange for meg ha verdsatt Men minner blir glemt av tidens gang Og lite er her som det engang var Her som ellers har blader visnet Men falt ned pa en forfallen jord Hvor drommer og liv har dodd ut Men kanskje bak en stien Eller bak en gammel busk Sitter fortsatt..... hmm Og venter? [English translation:] Forgotten times on Jotuns path There over high cliffs and mountains Has marked it with dust and ashes From when Alders' herds wandered these grounds. Here Gandviks Cave trolls stamped forth In an evil and large goblin-herd Where rangers found a big wisdom About the lands forest-life and dark sides Here on the path who creeps eternally forth Between banks where they difficult still Can be seen in the horizon So great it must have been To look out over all this And to wander so alone and free An autumn evening in cold and light mist Like many before me have experienced And many before me have appreciated But memories are forgotten as time passes by And little is here that once were Here like elsewhere leaves have wizened But fallen down on a collapsed earth Where dreams and lives have passed away But maybe between a rock Or behind an old buch Sits still... And waiting
Hver en tåre er frosset, Vår sjel er lenket, Vårt hat er blodig. All glede er svunnet, All latter er forsvunnet, Alt liv skal ende i død. I et kalt og øde landskap, Skal den sorte horde tre frem, Vår herre skal stige Opp for all tid, reise sitt rike igjen. Vår kamp skal belønnes, Våre nav skal prises, Våre sinn skal dra den grene, Og hans kjærlighet skal evig gå tapt. All moral skal forkastes, Du vil men du dør av skam. Nå er tiden kommet, Ja knus de godes ord, La oss for alltid bli herskere på denne jord.
Endeløst du kriget på steppene Nadeløst du herjet i fjellene Du tok dine seire med storm Knuste fienden ved din hand Åh, Attila! Gjør meg til din tjener Åh, Attila Ta meg til din hæær Du levde i mørket Du vandret i sorg Du plyndret med sal til hest En stolt og stridig konge Som erobret hver en borg For så å heise fanen til fest Attila, hunnernes konge Krigenes herre, vår far Du hentet din styrke fra mørke Og på tokt med deg jeg nå drar
Langt...der borte i mørket Gjennom tretopper der månelys driver Langt...der borte i all tåke Inn gjennom min sjel den sorte angst river På de mosegrodde steiner de seg viser Når nattemørket har senket seg over Ekkoene...fra deres grufulle jamring Endeløst...du kan høre I horisonten langt vekk Skimtes den sigende skådde Horder av ild rider månelyset i flokk Ved daggry de samles ved en bortgjemt ådde Den iskalde snøen Har kommet Denne gang I evig fokk
Langt...der borte i morket Gjennom tretopper der manelys driver Langt...der borte i all take Inn gjennom min sjel den sorte angst river Pa de mosegrodde steiner de seg viser Nar nattemorket har senket seg over Ekkoene...fra deres grufulle jamring Endelost: du kan hore I horisonten langt vekk Skimtes den sigende skodde Horder av ild rider manelyset i flokk Ved daggry de samles ved en bortgjemt odde Den iskalde snoen Har kommet Denne gang I evig fokk
Glinsende månelys ovenfor driver Frostlagte stier viser vei Svarte sjeler farer henover natten Inn gjennom skodde heim Alt har svartnet Alt lys er svunnet hen Lødig trer vi nå inn i Riket I minne om at våre spor blir fulgt Omgitt av sorgens dis Skrider ferden frem Som en skare av likkledde skrømt Vandrer vi jervens hjem Brisen fører oss over norske myrer Forbi hver en tåkegrend Med hatet i våre harme sinn Reiser vi for aldri å komme igjen
Kom unge bror Skjenk oss din rene ungdom Legg ditt liv i våre hender Kjemp vår krig med oss La vare sorger formørke ditt sinn La din sjel slites Føl natten som legger seg rundt deg Glem all kjærlighet Ingen tårer skal fylle dine netter Tre inn i broderskapets ring Ingen svakhet skal du finne i din sjel Styrken skal vandre ved din side Kom Del ditt hat med oss Forlat ditt svake legeme La deg ei forvirres av vakre ord I Døden finnes all makt
Følg Følg etter Til Ondskapens hall vi drar! Der det vendte kors pryder ferden! Av Mørkets Allmektighet! På kristi flesk vi spytter! La det råtne! Et symbol på barmhjertighetens bortgang! Et skuespill der endes! Bring frem vårt indre sinne! Vis veien for vårt hat! Skjend guds sjeler til evig pine! I Ondskapens paradis er de dine!
Sorgens Kammer (Instrumental) Sorgens Kammer - Del II: Minnenes ekko stiller timen Kneblet i tungsinnets lenker faller jeg ifra Ikke lenger vil jeg være boltet fast i vemodighetens anker Men endelig få lengselens slukket - Etter å dra Drakk jeg for meget av livshåpets krus Tok jeg gledens forfengelighet for gitt For min strid mot tomhetens smerte - Denne dødsangstens rus Er det eneste ene igjen - Som er mitt I min ensomhet vet jeg likevel At jeg ikke har noen andre å takke enn meg selv Derfor er jeg rolig når Repet strammer rundt min nakke Stumme viner kan ei gi trøst Menigmann i gravkorets forsamling vil aldri fatte Det landet av fortapelse Jeg egenhendig skapte Denne intense dragning mot dødens portaler (Har jeg som) En vandrende studie i gråtkvalt messe-noir Behersket siden tidens morgen Men noe jeg aldri lot slippe taket - Var sorgen
Min sjel den glødet Og mitt sinn det lengtet Etter å få fatt i en kristen faen I det kalde mørket jeg ventet med vinden Det ulte som besatt av fanden Jeg ventet Åh, som jeg ventet Tiden virket som evig Men endelig fikk jeg øye på stakkar'n Jeg hevet min knyttede neve Og skrek Svake kristne! Dø i natt! Jeg skal flerre din sjel i to! Du skal føle makten jeg har fått av mørket! Din tid er omme! Også din tro! ...også din tro...! Be om nåde du stakkars faen Og min latter skal atter runge Høyt i nattens kulde Der frosten fryser din siste Tåre... Svake kristne! Du døde i natt! Med et kraftig hugg tok jeg din skalle! En blodig slakt som til syvende og sist Hvis stemmer(vil)for alltid i Dødsriket gjalle!
Gjennom tideløse mørke drømmer. I fuktig høstvind over landstrakte vidder Mot Sorias fjellheim Kommer jeg, en fandens ridder Glatt er runen på det høye fjell Gnidd vekk av regn og vind Dragende kraft av ondskap lurer Her ved trollheims muldne grind Fortumlet av dette mørke byggverk Med røvet gull fra lysets pakt Brukt som spott til å senke Deres murer Vi grunder over dette riket Så vakkert fylt med tideløs skumring Som en stjerne i tomsindighetens juv Det bringer frem en nattlig mimring Over tanker fra en vissen tid Drott til himmel er det reist Av tidens endeløse svarte minner Stormblåst ut av det sorte indre Har bergflint rullet fra mo til kneist Undring og angst samler seg i natten I mørket som ruver om spiret For ingen dag kan veien hit Intet lys kan luske frem Der sorg har beseiret alle gleder Og bygd et land på menneskets jord Fylt med isklad prakt og heder
Stig opp på min trone bleke lik Fall på kne ærbødiget foran mine føtter Ta imot mitt kalde kyss på din panne Jeg har lagt veien som fører til Helvete klar Løft deres sverd til kamp, stolte menn La massakeren begynne i dag Hogg hodet av hver kristen Og voldta deres kvinner og barn Hvert kristenkors du finner skal du vende om Hver en bygning som bærer guds navn skal brenne Hver en kristenmanns grav skal vi skjende Hver natt skal du våkne med ett skrik Og kjenne blodet som brenner dypt i deg Hver natt skal du rave som en sanseløs i gaten Og utslette hvert et tegn du ser til liv Hør min tale menneskedyr Mine ord er din fremtid Jeg er Satans legemlige gjørelse Jeg er din herre Jeg er ondskapen Jeg er antikrist
I det mørkeste mørke troner jeg I mine slaer trer stillheten frem Faldne engler vokter mine porter I dødsdalens øde skjønnhet Har min sjel vandret vill Mens mørket og sorgen rådet Tentes hatets flammende ild I nattens sorte stillhet Trer mitt tause frem I mørket flammer et likbål Nok en sort sjel har vendt hjem I stillhet følger vi ferden Til vår sorgsvarte bror Og ingen tårer faller Da aske forenes med jord Vi skal all dele hans skjebne Vi skal alle følge vår venn Da Dommedag's klokker ringer Skal vi alle komme igjen For å herske
En høyreist ridder vender hjem Over himmel til himmel på en selvgjort bro Fra den endelige tvekamp mot lysets prest For nå til sist å gå til ro Se der i fjellbrisens indre Hvor dets liv har søkt ly for en sol Som omsider vil mørkne med den evige natt Og hindre en verden i (å) blomstre og gro Se der i øyets satire Hvor rester av godhet jages på flukt Og vindes vekk i en åpen grav Til den siste tenning av lys er slukket Med kraftige hugg i menneske skaller Frydes den rytter i årvåken dis Himmelhøyt, vandrende over sin stjerne Skottende på en jord dekket i is Over utallige faldne menn Som sådde livets spirende korn Streifer han vekk fra den siste krig Den mektigste fyrste, den blodige torn
Hengitt er vi Til Mørkets keiser Den allmektiges kraft (Som) Fører vårt sinn I kamp Mot godhet og løgn Dog fiendens hær er fattig Er den stor Men vi skal ta dem alle Og hente dem inn En etter en Det håp de ser i gud Skal forsvinne i et hav av torner De torner deres falske frelser Engang følte spikret i sin skalle Himmelen skal rakne Og en fandens torden Skal buldre å brake Hans krefter vil røyne Der Mørkets front Beseirer lystes pest Øyne vil renne i sorg Når de innser (at) deres gud Ikke lenger kan hjelpe Det håp de så i gud Er svunnet og vekk for alltid De følger nå sin falske felser Som fortsatt er bærer av en krone Med torner Men konge ble han ikke
Stanken fra den uransaklige vei Hvor forkynnelse og falsk forhåpning er åte Trenger igjennom som en bitterhetens gave Og befrukter den menneskelige råte Som en slave i avmakthetens tilstand Råder ei annet enn nederlagsbekjennelse Retrett Du har ei livets rett Retrett Du har ei livets rett For ignoreres Dyret og idolets tegn Vil straff omsider den skyldige bifalle Denne fromme paktens skadelige innavl Søker tilflukt i edens hage Hvorpå en stolt ren og rakrygget herre Ikke like lett lar seg belage Retrett Du har ei livets rett Retrett Du har ei livets rett Så når dommedagstorden endelig runger Kan menneskets fantasibilde avdukes Alle og enhver med gudfryktig hunger Vil tape ansikt og slukes
Daylight has finally reached it?s end As evenfall strikes into the sky Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight Sickening souls cry out in pain Whispering voices summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace Feel the gloom of restless spirits Hear the screams from the Mouring Palace Feel the doom of haunting chants Eternal is their lives in misery Eternal is their lives in grief Abandoned in a void of nothingness A chain of anger, a fetter of despair In this garden of depraved beings This unsacred place of helpless ones Satan blessed the creatures Inswathed them in endless night Whispering voices, summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness
You have returned to the torture-chambers To find peace among the rotting corpses You have returned to the execution place To inhale the smell of blood Death and terror rules the land We have been spellbound You have returned to the hidden graves Only you know about You have returned to to face your victims And feel sensation of violence once again Death and terror rules the soul You have been spellbound By the Devil Murderer, you have returned To create fear and sorrow Death and terror rules the land We have been spellbound By the Devil
By the light of the moon And the beings of the night A curse has been laid upon us To seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces By the power of death And the shadow of the reaper A call has been brought upon us To complete the infinite fall of heaven Without the wit or will to end this journey We continue travelling towards our faith Harvesting helpless Christian spirits Raping the sanctity of saints The heavenly father is stretching his hand Pathetically begging for mercy We spit and piss on his sacred flesh As we breathe the breath of the unholy For with the sign of the pentagram Hellfire rage is for us to come As we shall wander the pit Unhallowed by the infernal one We are forever captured By the embrace of death
King of tempests and storms Lord of innumerable figures and forms Blessed with thy cold I am As I upon the shoulders of mine Bear the burden of Thine Once I got touched by a fire from beyond An invitation to darkness of which I could not resist Caressed by the feathers of the fallen I took the fate in my hand My raging Commander My constant Shade My soul's Persecutor My eternal Divinity Revealing Thy powers in visions and dreams Invoking your magic at night Honoured I am to mission Thy word Within a creed is sworn of majestic might An infernal allegiance in which I pay my share An unholy awakening inside of which I intend to bear Beholding Thy commotion I entreat You with devotion I subsume Your might with strength I will carry on with You as my guardian Against the lambs of the light Possesses by the true god of earth I am Possessed for eternity
A scarlet sunset The threshold to nightplay A sinful oath is to be sworn A beckoning bloodlust Among the seekers Tyrannic hunger yearns A gathering in flames and fires Devil's daughters dance Scourged in filth obscene and lewd Longing to dark desires The nocturnal beast appears In an evil despotic shape Expectant watching gracelessly Before demanding the sluts of lust The Beast: "Come forth harlots, let's begin!" The Beast: "Rise and give praise in front of Me And receive eternal life from Me! Welcome my spirit in honour of Me! So drink of the blood I provide you And you shall all forever wander in The shadows of death...! The chanting whores: "Oh yes, Master! Let us receive Thine offer and drink with thee! And become a part of Thy realm With lust, sex and sodomy For we are those who seek life eternally...! The Beast: "Blood is life and it shall be all ours!"
I could drag you to my chambers And strip you naked in darkness I could pull your fingernails out one by one And rape you till you find no hope I could rip your guts out And let you watch me Sacrifice your unborn child I could leave you to starve And even bring you to total silence ...but I won't For I find no pleasure in your physical pain I want your Christian soul to crumble Your fucking soul When I have seen your church go up in flames And you are weeping I will laugh When I have seen you mourn over loved ones I will feel bliss when your mortal soul is in ruins I will grin in the shadows For that gives me pleasure... ...tormenting a Christian soul
Soul on departure six six six Onward onto another existence A trip far beyond all pleasant dreams A voyage through desolation sights Inner transformation Subconscious flight In the glance fields of fires In the distance meadows of might Where minds being enshrouded in a complete night The fading of love, life and light Wandering an endless journey Dead within a trace Entering a lost dominion soulless and free Visiting a foreign place but yet so known Another dimension opens for me to see Heaven sure ain't made for me to be Soul on arrival six six six One short step from unhallowed ground The ground of a Kingdom Come Dead spirits communion Unorthodox profane void Gardens, temples, palaces I have seen them all In search for insanity, sanity slowly drowns - In trance
Master of disharmony Welcome my tainted soul Take me from the hordes of the living Into the blessed darkness Master of disorder Take my impure flesh Lead me unto the path of temptation Save me from cowardness Master of sin Take my cursed heart Bring me where I can find salvation For I am the damned Master of death Take my pitiful life I am enslaved I shall never forget the pain Master of sin Take my cursed heart Bring me where I can find salvation For I am the damned Master of death Take my pitiful life I am enslaved I shall never forget the pain
He became the swarm, indeed a pitiful imitation To the verge of a quiet glance, an oracle without eyes Darkness... My precious companion, even thou cant see his face Salvation turned to bleed despair, compassion fled... Sadistic delight flowed, like Hell burned brighter Existence woven into darkness, prudence did fall ...In Satan's beauty, life was found... A flow of orgasmic fire, swept through the cosmic night I enthroned darkness triumphant, with the searing trident of the Inferno Gaze towards the Heavens, an you might catch a glimpse of Me...
Illness and plagues, torture and blight Is what she brings Mocking holy standards, deceiving feeble fools Is what she loves Granted with powers, gifted with magic Watching the world through raven eyes Damned woman mischievous whore Heretic princess Devil's own Her seductive elegance Excites your weak flesh Her diabolical beauty Enchants your bewildered mind You damn woman You mischievous whore You heretic princess You are Devil's own A serenade made out of black magic She has learned to set souls afire And makes sure that you never Will leave it's trance Her diabolical beauty Enchants your bewildered mind
Langt...der borte i mørket Gjennom tretopper der månelys driver Langt...der borte i all tåke Inn gjennom min sjel den sorte angst river På de mosegrodde steiner de seg viser Når nattemørket har senket seg over Ekkoene...fra deres grufulle jamring Endeløst...du kan høre I horisonten langt vekk Skimtes den sigende skådde Horder av ild rider månelyset i flokk Ved daggry de samles ved en bortgjemt ådde Den iskalde snøen Har kommet Denne gang I evig fokk
Glowing eyes, staring eyes Manifest of evil presence With entities swept in disease and decay A fall from paradise beyond redemption Wrathchild's afterglow He who speaks of nightly treasures He who wraps the serpent around my neck He who pours poisonous wine in my chalice He who lets me serve and slip away ...and so i will take shelter In the absence of the light Hiding like a masked miniature in the dark A revenant without relief it seems For the art of becoming a progeny and to be raised in such curse Is to forever creep among naive mortals Infesting the dead in herdes His grandeur of guidance in roundtrips obscure He who immerse my hands in sullen thrills His paths on wich domination linger He who dares to prove the sanity of mine He who speaks of nightly treasures He who lets me serve and slip away Black unearthly void creatures crawling Forbidden forgotten fairly underrated Bastards in the shape of angels holding my hands Passing me what is left of the wine
A mental inner vortex as possessions through a wolf's eye Envisioning the eclipse No longer to be blinded by a sunrise In this final benediction Confronted by mirages of imminent mortality Time's set to end the suffering So follow, I will cherish the secrecies of hearts Chased by the black sheperds Behind the curtains of night Been found as a tool in their seduction Fatal haze An escape into abomination Perished to phasma Asindrome of another aeon Soul-obsequial inhesion Resurged in torrents of abyssmal thoughts Lost in a helix, blackest might In stealth i do seek deliverance In phantasmagoria, vortex utopia
When the ghastly mourners awakens from sleep And the volant funeral crows are watching Like evil omens in shadowed murmur They welcome me again Agonized and flattered to once become A part of this horror scenario I descend with arms open wide Armoured and filled with painful pleasure Reflecting streams of monstrous mirages I will not hide Losing control in seductive madness Spiritual revelations, apocalyptic hypnosis Dead colours appear within unshallow graves Alone in awe I face abhorrence below Trapped inside to suffer in silence Torn apart in mind and sense Baptized in this nightly glamour- Rites of splendid essence Agonized and flattered I once became A part of the horror scenario Armoured and filled with painful pleasure I did not hide Now when the gates are no longer shut I withdraw from the light of the sun
Unfolding her carnal desires to me With tempting eyes she does receive A hunter of the night devil's whore May her cursed beauty haunt me forever We embrace the madness gathered as one Mourning dead passion...she comes to me A fate awaits us in the night In the ruins of creation we will unite Unfolding her carnal desires to me With tempting eyes she does receive A hunter of the night devil's whore May her cursed beauty haunt me forever She comes to me - a shining beacon Confused by the sensual innovation Passion ... towards the image of mortal evil Passion ... embraced by the image of united death The enigma lies broken Searching for those precious moments Reaching for a higher state of existence Like a newborn migrant in the void I am smitten by the forbidden fruit Possessed by moments of dark splendour To walk the nightmare terrains forever The enigma lies broken Possessed by moments of dark splendour To walk the nightmare terrains forever United with new unhallowed grace This cursed beauty haunts me forever
Erotic and dreamlike still in its mortal disguise A passionate ritual in the ruined gardens theatre The painted angels - Shadowed high above Once they gathered to worship at the picture of me Like a whisper where there are no words Appears the perplexed - The statue of might In the cradle of the next generation A spiraling ruin - Lost in the gathering dust ...the faces you saw in the withering garden I witnessed the flickering - made to look like stone Quivering like little figures lost in broken flames Never to forget again the names carved in horrid flesh Those words drawn in water - Become our legacy of fantasies Burn the pictures So unexpected in this strange deserted place Once opened its secrets would become the world Its attributes would continue to unfold forever "Through the fabric of the promised future aeons I offer this suffering of my unwanted father..." ...and the stars did wander - Separated in the forbidden universe
With hearts of midnight, brightened by His infernal light We stand as a monolith of wrath, united under the goat of a thousand young Two horns thrust upwards in defiance, three inverted as the trinity denied A phalanx of mourners in black, falling towards nightly terror Unleash the tempted beast, raised your horns in prideful blasphemy I'll be your guide into the glorious darkness, and enchant you like a taste of sin Unleash the tempted beast, chant theron in words of blazing scorn Grant me my dark desires, strengthened through the power of Satan Take pleasure in the torment of the wretched and rejoice in the delight of the flesh Behold the face of Satan and walk the fields of erotic fire Hunt the heavens ... Godless temples beckon Through gleaming scapes of horrid nightmare Gathered between symbols and signs A glow of new light is born out of the night Give into your lust and carnal desires - In twisted blood-dripping ecstasy In the name of Satan - I lead you into temptation
Passenger on confessional course Unlock with the key you behold within Repair the shadow of your mind and come awake Oh, dreadful angel of mine Enrich me with the vastness of being Rigid father, teach me how to comprehend I'll commit myself to understand To be faithful and the instrument So that the ones with blindfold can see what I have seen That there is nothing in between For I am the accomplice... Aghast and tender, indulged in sin Embraced by loneliness, legions who grin I blunder into the realms of slumber I collide with the obscure And see the last fraction of light go by Plundering the sanity from the insane And providing appearances in black Carefully swept in decadent spheres But faces in this world always remain darkened In circles of dominance, emotional deeps unite Fiction and transcendence woven together In the essence of purity lies wisdom Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions What more do you need of proof Human hands conforming cloven hoofs For I know the secrets and lies behind all truths Knowledge is power and the power is mine It's all mine So let the children come to me And share the limitless ways to infinity Escape death and disease And behold youth and vitality Oh, dreadful angel of mine Enrich me with the vastness of your being Rigid father, teach me how to comprehend I'll commit myself to understand For I am the accomplice...
"In the shadows of my gallow I'd rather absent the hallow..." (For) Thy presence made pleasure of pain (and) Thy madness turned sanity into vain Profoundly wicked owner of souls The mysteries of Thy creation beheld by ghouls Diabolically disguised heavenly bodies (and its) atrociously desired primordial elements Plunging through the confused heart of sulphur In all this darkness, how can man see "Pour misguided fool ... It is not God you are talking to I am not impostrous, hiding behind pearly walls However, I am still yet to be found, known I shall guide you on your midnight-ride as the sun fades black (and) beyond your grotesque imagination my name will be revealed... The blod of Christ can't heal your wounds Give me all of yours, and I'll give you mine..." I am the hidden fantasy In the secret of my knowledge There is no God but me In this shadowy world all are nameless Outstanding, dresssed in majestic splendour Touched by the flames of eternal fire How I long for your embrace, uttermost desire
In perplexed dementia, where sanity is my vanity With honour bear the mark of Satan Triumphant beast in heaven defeat Disguised in gloom, wear the mask of Satan Ride the beast through paradise Still vipers these mortal burdens We arise as the portals take form I leave my feathers again Infidels and scarecrows all fallen from heaven Captured by the sin of the beast Mesmerized in total chaos Engulfed in an overflow of selfish might Swept through arcane mysteries Forlorn in a maze of torment Raped by the sanctity of the unholy Reveals a Hell I never dreamed of Bewildered by the arcane lifeforce mysteria- I shed my skin once again
In massing darkness we stand united Raging above inferior sheeps A convoy of souls swept into the night Hearts strengthened with black fire passion In us is fulfilled the prophecy of satan Evolution of the inner shrine In us is mantained the revelation of satan Innocence brought to an end In honour of thy unearthly creation We bring forth thy divine form Vanity throughout any conceptions Blazed and bound for the days are coming Infernal madness,unholy ascendance Christian death abound in mouring perversion Cherished sacred icons torn to pieces They'll chase the serpent in everlasting nightmare Disharmonic illusions of strings bending loose Wrapped,penetrating skin Listen to the music of their agony Eyes made of glass,mirrors within
Infected by invalid behaviour While capturing the stench of divine putrefaction Confess to slavery for the world saviour Give praise and inhale the corruption The Enfeebled provides the fool The Disabled provides the tool The Apathetic demands the affection To those suffering from their own satisfaction Devour in self-deceit, conjure the righteous plague Testify today?s contradiction, glorify tomorrows deed Inconceivable moral priest, hide in preferable dress Invite to another pleasure feast, the concealment of joyful laughter The decrepit innocence of your correctness and well-chosen Elicits the source of the need for immediate forgiveness Submit to no grace but the spiteful of your disease Apply to join the unlimited disgrace and a settlement in the skies And turn the confusion among your children into self-stimulation The incarnation of your prostitution, the true Evil in disguise With the ignorance from your cross as the witness The truth of your tragedy make you justice In your mirror the high spirit of kindness Looks like malice Condemnation of life by the living dead What a premature judgement, contradiction to the core How unfortunate I am, cursed to spend time on a battle already won The shame that will be guarding your grave says it all Retreat to the crypt and make it worthwhile Recall my sins furthermore but still be watching yours with a smile
Incarnated marvels simplified Effects from such a disconsolate kind Impotence of the once so perfect living Erase and rewind Stand rigid for the next battle Peace means reloading your guns The love for life is all hatred in disguise A carnival creation with masks undone In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as virulent truth Confidently dawned, to pick the best of enemies An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate With the stigma feasting upon your flesh I wish you well Thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin Worshipped by anyone's mass on our planet hell What on earth possessed you Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface And enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect With such bedevilled faith in good, subsequently trusting evil Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin Left are the kings of the carnival creation Carrying out the echoes of the fallen Sense the withering eternity as it fades away The ultimate graceless voyage of all times Only death will be guarding your angels, silently Cripples joining arms in clamour Institutionalized for the rebirth, the herd will be hunted
The apparition of two faces in disgust Invisible but yet so clear Reflections seen by a fugitive Trying to escape the looking glass Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh The one in front of the mirror exceeds the image Eager to leave further but chained still To crumble into such nothingness A despairing fate, for your lies To pretend is the lunatic's legacy Privileged to bolt the nails of heresy Born lifeless into a world of coma As the chronic sufferer trapped in paradise lost Missing insinuations of what life was meant to be Angels and demons, a march man's bewildering hosts The charlatans and deceivers walk the line in prejudice The narrow slits the veins in search for the crown Profound impatience makes the blind struggle in stupidity The paradox of the daily prayer, diffidence is Confiteor Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful Holding the banner high, unrestrained Slowly abandoning the surface in contempt Still in costumes to please the ways of living Witnessing the details of defilement, intoxicating Make sure to be pleased with the ways of your death For in days of reckoning and when the twilight torn is ticking Elysium is halfway and as an answer to the plea You're destined to yield fragments of Hell in return Leave unnoticed with the perfect conscience With the strength of the spiritual eye Spirits of the token unchained and free Recover from the philanthropic macabre frenzy The pale dove grins, black at heart ready to flee Demon to some, angel to others
A dismal universal hiss, the sound of public scorn The brush that sweeps across the spectral fields This landscape is not without a sense of epic wonder A vast scale that places this sprawling underworld Into a realm of frames With a blood-storm fading into the distance Floating without directions over this smouldering landscape Caught in a moment of transformation These shades of anatomic malignant nature Approached on another in an unpleasant way Frozen in the act of speech, desperate to express it's state Created in a shape to accommodate a wide variety of demonic forms The realm of the benighted aristocracy of evil most pure This is where wounds of deadly hate have pierced so deep Emerged from the depths of the earth gasps It rages against mankind, to annihilate the earth and worse It spills the blood like rain, the beauty of death it represents Devouring their flesh with a razorblade smile Genes would still blindly carry on smouldering ember of hell Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush That sweep all traces of time, place and pattern Total death in every nation Monuments of vanquished civilization Just as brilliantly removed ruthlessly eliminated The cornerstone of human emotions Has now been drained away I saw death of a most uncommon nature
We do away with your kind Countdown to exterminate the human race 4, 3, 2, 1 Let chaos entwine On defenseless soil Remove errors of man And sweep all the weakening kind I am war, I am pain I am all you've ever slain I am tears in your eyes I am grief, I am lies Bygone are tolerance And presence of grace Scavengers are set out To cleanse the human filth parade I am pure, I am true I am all over you I am laugh, I am smile I am the earth defiled I am the cosmic storms I am the tiny worms I am fear in the night I am bringer of the light Earth successfully erased.
Oh, look at those lifeless leaves All their precious pride is taken away A lost creation for a graven image Trembling of nothing but their own fear On behalf of water made to wine Elements of deception must entwine Righteous greed and derangement divine Vacuum is given to the blind To surrender to a faith so fake To not comprehend while you're awake Thrive on your deity for heaven's sake Do loose your battle before actual birth For some sheep need the company of a shepherd To face the scorn of the earth Existential parasite drama across the lands What a relief never bother the why's Investing illusions and folding hands The passion for mankind's ignorance feeding you lies All those naked faces, empty shells Procreation of the mind put to rest Crippled and caged, anaesthesia adjust The lambs of slaughter preoccupied in disgust
Ride the vortex winds with the beast inside Cast down all memories from a past and future world The cynic icons and the cryptic writings As a picturesque creation in force and spirit Against their reason and will, it is time Give darkness it's passion plea The venomous tongue The inevitable poison Paralyze the angels Freeze the forgiven Baptize in fire Unleash the devil at heart Unleash the maelstrom mephisto So sinner, mourn well Make all the swans suffer in hell The maelstrom of the mephisto left the trace To revel and feast in undelivered grace Pledged to judgmental arrogance in Drawn principles of ignorant falsehood To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself A tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep In the dimness surrounding the towers of the castle Where the ravens spread their wings out wide Dwell in depths of the darker self at any shore of infinity And watch the relentless paint the soil black What is being formed echoes throughout eternity As the painter chooses color no more Hold your shadows close when the comedy is over As the days of mourning seem to be the days of joy Fragments fell from the sky in order to penetrate the eyes A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies:lies
As cyclones detach from the world above And all the other worlds beneath them flow Time winds caressing the dust of cold memories Sought, to strive in twilight mist and penal fire As daylight suffers, night time recollects For what wind hath drawn near, so near: Death has a contract on life and hell in-between What was once not certain is now foreseen When the pendulum is in it´s reverse factor Rivers run red and skies turn black Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within Conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss A magisterial maintenance of diabolic education Where the opposite of innocence paves way for intelligence Where pearls are chained for each tragic event The glorification of deviance in progress Liars in wait tries to quench their thirst for more Drowning victims of a parallel universe The scum of the earth, a rejoice of fouls The world hates you for being precise
Chains of despair Cloaked by darkness The thundering echoes of great destruction to come Mankind's mysteries The dying world Madness in it's sweetest form What shrivels and dies must face the tempest The angelic heaven bows to the ultimate truth And melancholy grew Anticipation mender through madness Condemned to the same horrid fate Insanity applauds How sharp the awakening Pale as disease Mocking:Maddening: Give up the ghost Cease the gloomy awakening History foretold The hidden stigmata Totally annihilating the ecstasies innumerable Materialize the vision Give up the ghost Cease the gloomy awakening
Thousand different paths So many sterile ends I chose the Devil's path Never shall the sun kiss my face And caress me with it's burning light For I dwell in the shadows And sleep side by side with death In dark desire I embrace the whore Giving her an escape from an unworthy life For with the appearance of the Fallen Angel I serve Satan I serve Darkness I am a prince among the damned As I've been for eternity A monarch in a dark paradise Cursed by life and the living Oh tremble not my immortal heart Though you beat in the shadows of death Eternal life is the blessing And I shall rule for another thousand years I blew out the light Abandoned Jesus Christ Christian life forms' grief's We buried their belief's Waiting for their saviours rebirth The dawn was soon to come The dawn would soon be gone There in that formless abyss was I made A partaker of the mysteries averse
Welcome to the abandoned land Come on in, child; take my hand Here there's no work or play Only one bill to pay There's just five words to say As you go down, down, down You're gonna burn in hell Oh, burn in hell You can't believe all the things I've done wrong in my life Without even trying I've lived on the edge of a knife Well, I've played with fire, but i don't want to get myself burned To thine own self be true, so i think that it's time for a turn Before i burn in hell Oh, burn in hell Take a good look in your heart; tell me what do you see? It's black and it's dark, now is that how you want it to be? It's up to you; what you do will decide your own fate Make your choice now for tomorrow may be far too late Hear no evil, don't you See no evil, don't you Lay no evil down on me You're gonna burn in hell Speak no evil, don't you Think no evil, don't you Play with evil, 'cause I'm free
Cuddled through a cold womb he was Pitch black and without sunshine rays Hell patiently awaiting him on blood spilled soil A noble grief stirred heart, always ready to die In sinister systematisation, submission is golden As an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed He was like an object that is being processed A force-fed destructor ready for abomination The vast solitude in him witnessed it all Those self afflicting eyes And their fear painted faces Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable Hosts to oblivion Exploring the darkest of places Stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck Every day seemed like an endless night When would he ever wake from this void No other voice than his own will ever tell What was real and where he had been What he had done Did you bleed for the cause Like the rest of his men Did you capture the euphoria How it was like to kill Such a necromantic force behind it all They sure did battle till the end But when came all the glory And who got spared to carry his body Just pure death and too profound to be shared Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory To serve the wastelands of insanity At the front Life forever lost its innocence Never to see the light of day again He pondered his last few steps Into the realms of death With his hands bloodstained Courage and consistency Bravery and valor Honor and pride For what was it all worth Courage and consistency Bravery and valor Honor and pride For what was it all worth

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

Are you born from the abyss And have you sought the creed That drape the shadows Of your own thought? Is your heart mesmerized By the fire that burns forevermore And do the secrets from the flames Hold the mysteries over which you preside? Reveal the infantile wound and regain strength Free your spirit from those who lead in praise Recollect the anger and the hate For not shall your morals dissolve in pity Righteous warmth accompanied By deceitful tongues Stay away from processed promises Let them fear what you know A malicious smile on their lips To keep us all under control Now it's time to rise and demand our due The whores and their illusions left us bitter and cold Drench them in their own poison, spit back the scorn of their ways Out win their defect morality, and the words they pray Consolidate the troops and expose the lies in their eyes The ones deprived from the ecstasy that binds the neglect Better lead than being led, earn any victory For you stand superior above the plague and it's mass The burden of proof rests on your shoulders Are you born from the abyss And have you sought the creed That drape the shadows Of your own thought? Is your heart mesmerized By the fire that burns forevermore And do the secrets from the flames Hold the mysteries over which you preside?
As mortal manufactured waste And part of the commonly infected You prevent the ones worthy the gift of life To surface on once a prosperous soil As superficially bewildered whores And succumbing to fictional truth You are taught to preserve and profit The life institutional lie You worthless piece of shit May we all depart from this world And dissolve into nothingness Compassion will not be granted When life's value Is point below zero Human depravity is at our disposal As the perfect tool to destroy mankind The worst kind of them all Modern times' ignorance, the world disease Appeal to death of every man A living hate smoldering abyss Nurtured through centuries with quietly exercised wrath Seeks the easiest way to the feed the engine Praising the final bloodbath Uncertainty and guilt Will no longer endorse our fate There will be no remorse, we kill to kill again Killing all Go ahead end it all, we deserve no better As a forever unblessed detonation The great plutonium chord fulminates Blinding the eyes of creation Cutting off all life support Sweeping away existence instantly Iced desolate ruins linger Leaving traces of our lovely humanity As mortal manufactured waste And part of the commonly infected You prevent the ones worthy the gift of life To surface on once a prosperous soil Uncertainty and guilt Will no longer endorse our fate There will be no remorse, we kill to kill again Killing all
The memories far beyond the reckoning Have begun to lurk in the distance Like visual objects dearly known The grace of devils hands As they walk with me like a medium When I choose and require a burn-out Resting in expanded malicious force Drained for murderous weapons Knowing where you stand In the magnitude of this thought Looking at the spirit of fire and flames Enduring on the throne of the black heart The memories far beyond the reckoning Have begun to lurk in the distance Like visual objects dearly known The grace of devils hands As they walk with me like a medium When I choose and require a burn-out Resting in expanded malicious force Drained for murderous weapons Knowing where you stand In the magnitude of this thought Looking at the spirit of fire and flames Enduring on the throne of the black heart A bringer of evil I am And therefore also a carrier of light As I use this focus through the dark And face the sunshine in the dead end Limitations do not exist When you are ahead of the crowd With the art of confidence I reign at the throne of my soul The value of this darkness unwinds Travelling the other path A hidden triumph But obvious to the strong and wise By understanding this reality I remain in a twice-coloured cloud With feet connected solid in the ground And thus I get peace of mind A bringer of evil I am And also a carrier of light As I use this focus through the dark And face the sunshine in the dead end A bringer of evil I am And also a carrier of light As I use this focus through the dark And face the sunshine in the dead end
Devoted to your own opiate In escapades from discontentment Are you shutting off from the outside world To reflect on your mind shallow gutter? For this is your empire, this is your intrigue Here you own them all, here you seal the deed Contaminated from the spree of self salvation To keep the fever flowing in the veins Prominently manipulating heaven and hell Does your sophistically discreet interlude Maintain stories not to be revealed? In your search for redemption Greed and lies become the savior Through the lecherous eyes disgust withstand For are not these the windows to your soul? Fatherly fornication of sweat lips in dismay Repeatedly unlocking the vaults to the holocaust The dormant prodigy seeks it's reason for rebirth But it will never, never gain the strength A surrender in superficial scorn The rape of an ever unborn Seeds have been planted in the name of the son Until this day, ungodliness is yet to be gone Sacramental suicide amidst the flow of virgin vine The only way to comfort the defeat A surrender in superficial scorn The rape of an ever unborn Seeds have been planted in the name of the son Until this day, ungodliness is yet to be gone Regrets can no longer find it's ways Streams of innocent bitter tears flowing down the drain Mirrored in the haze of a partaker's eyes

My descent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair My descent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair Evoked and entertained through centuries Wrathful and sullen -- Dormant still The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastard sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice. My descent is the story of everyman I am hatred, darkness and despair Reconcile not with the fear of the snake But embrace it as your own Inject its venom into your veins And replant the seed that gives growth Still shrouded in mystery Until you arise above perception A veil of ignorance is in motion Continuing throughout generations (A veil of ignorance is in motion Continuing throughout multiple generations Let me be the one that deliver you from the deceit And back into perfect accordance with the laws of nature) The snake is notoriously tempting But the snake is fair What is worse than not knowing? To live or disappear? The ferocity pervades everywhere Waiting to be released at last Hear my offering Ye bastard sons and daughters Share my sacrifice Share my sacrifice
Hence I will anoint And whisper wholeheartedly The creed of Hades and beyond As I succumb to inevitable sin For I cannot enslave myself With imaginary words of salvation The hypocrisy that surrounds my temple Is assisted by pretenders to the throne The winds that blow purity Signify my chosen legacy I was born to opposition A contender to creation In Sorte Diaboli In Sorte Diaboli In Sorte Diaboli In Sorte Diaboli For my sins I will ask no forgiveness For my sins They are not to forgive So never speak of me quietly Stand by my confession I voice your rebellion Against the traitor of the world I am the first creature of this Kingdom I will be the One To out live His time With the triumph of free will

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

I sense the darkness The desire overtakes My devotion endeavors Habitation changing course Repentance oh not No name or remorse Will I ever authorize On this treasured path I am warm by this fire And its flaming desire For what I can not fulfill My destiny completes I believe my truth to be A much greater thing Than a manufactured lie Too great to comprehend Where I come from There's no higher authority but me Being my own god Is all I was meant to be Antichristus Spiritualis Antichristus Spiritualis Antichristus Spiritualis Antichristus Spiritualis In Sorte Diaboli
My eyes got blinded And conned by the light Like a fugitive on the run I sought perseverance in the night Deceptive icons were finally Taken out of my sight As the contender to origin I will forever unveil His might They say I am the cancer On the back of the Inquisition I may well be the cancer In the heart of the Inquisition They say I am the cancer On the back of the Inquisition I am the cancer In the heart of the Inquisition Through my years of sacrifice Evolution came with lessons learned Respect and fear Is what I earned So underestimate not your vision Or you will be taught Calculate your intuition And you will teach You all have been conned And I always take the blame For you do not understand You are all the same
Fear Tomorrow's Adversary And the wealth of uprising The final storm will be released And the unmerciful will erect Hidden from the eyes of your God I will proclaim original sin And have you all purged and purified From the lies that remain within Cleansed and draped in sulphur linen Black and pure since the Beginning Mercy is not truth Your sins are next to mine Mercy is not truth All your sins are next to mine My soul's ablaze Inflamed with rage and isolated In whirlwinds of hate My soul's ablaze Yet camouflaged in the haze Why did He not see this coming What did He not understand One time forsaken But forgotten I am not I will win this war But never the peace I am my own free spirit Hence I will not rest
