Ancient Queen

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

My Empire`s Doom

Once our lord has come again, all black hearts will celebrate 
The darksome fiend in the kingdom of sorrow
Nocturnal fiends, the beings of the night and shadows 
Calling forth the pure spirit of the night
Our reign may come secretly
Your Lord's castle is gone
His glory is no more, and nothing can stop the purifying.
They remember how you conjured all those years of sorrow
Blasting winds of darkness conquer
Dark lords and their minions coming through
Hate and sin to remain
Empty hearts fearing thy name
Darkness hammers through on the priests
Darkness hammers forward on the cross
Servants of God, we will desecrate your coward race with darkness 
Darkness hammers through on the priests 
Darkness hammers forward on the cross 
Servants of God, we will desecrate your coward race with darkness 
Once our lord has come again, all black hearts will celebrate 
The darksome fiend in the kingdom of sorrow 
When he returns his spirits must choose purity
When he conquers kingdoms of death our dead shall all reign again 
Our reign may come secretly 
Your Lord's castle is gone 
His glory is no more, and nothing can stop the purifying 
They remember how you conjured all those years of sorrow 
Awakened from the shadows to create 
Riding with me and with all his chosen 
Our lord to be has come again 
Riding from the past 
Little you know your life fades

Forgotten Centuries

When night comes creeping in, dark restless shades arise 
Graveless souls are gathering, seem to ignite the flame 
Creeping shadows roam the night as a merciless rain is closing upon
Demons coming to sever the Sun 
Empty eyes come to life 
Darkness reigns in the Cosmos 
Forces of the Devil's lair 
Innocent or brave they appear to rape your world 
Children of the evil and demonic curse his love again 
Graveless souls awake, seem to ignite the flame 
When night comes creeping in, dark restless shades arise 
Prepare to crawl and run 
The Black is here tonight 

top

Night Of The Graveless Souls

When night comes creeping in, dark restless shades arise 
Graveless souls are gathering, Seem to ignite the flame 
Stalking shadows reign the night as a merciless rain is closing upon
Demons coming to sever the Sun bring us the night of yore 
Darkness reigns in the Cosmos 
Forces of the Devil's lair give and take our life 
to return to the smoking Hell 
A terrible blight declaring revenge as a merciless rain is closing upon
Demons coming to sever the Sun, bring us the night of yore 
Come on! 
When night comes creeping in, dark restless shades arise 
Prepare to run for your life or prepare to fade 
Night of the graveless souls

Moon Over Kara-Shehr

Our time is upon us 
Master! 
Appear! 
Over the nocturnal sky from the mountains of black we ride 
Fly! 
All thy servants fly though the serpent's darkened sky 
Hears the opponent cry ravaged by his terro. 
Master! 
We ride with the storm in his name, the sire, wolves' king 
Enter the power coursing through veins of the night 
Who gathers winds, summons thunder, summons rain, summons might? 
Power ripples through me 
Armageddon's thunder will bring others to my side 
The throne is mine 
A blackened storm of evil 
Evil 
Evil 
Evil 
Master! 
We ride with the storm to take revenge in the sky upon the one who cast thee from his side

Witches Sabbat

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

Lord Of The Storms

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 

top

Wrath Of The Tyrant

The wolves bark with wind in summertime 
As the moon passes the shadows 
It was a grim tale 
The wolves pry the limbs from the conquered ones
Carnage consumes the emptiness 
Wait till my spirits come forth 
Violate all his chosen ones 
Drink the fires of death 
Carrying the deaths of his fallen warriors deep inside of him, in his eyes 
Walk upon this Earth tonight, carrying the staff of cold souls 
Appear the sign of evil will 
They appear, Death and Destruction, to a time when the angel cries 
Open your eyes again now, he is here 
He is the master of fear 
He is the wind
He is the storm
He is the woods
He is the roots 
Nobody will escape the wrath of the Tyrant 
Forever the Beast shall wander the Earth

Into The Infinity Of Thoughts

As the Darkness creeps over the Northern mountains of Norway and the silence reach the woods, I awake and rise...
Into the night I wander, like many nights before, and like in my dreams, but centuries ago. 
Under the moon, under the trees. 
Into the infinity of darkness. 
Beyond the light of a new day, into the frozen nature chilly, beyond the warmth of the dying sun.
Hear the whispering of the wind, the shadows calling...
I gaze into the moon which grants me visions.
Twelve full moon nights of the year, and for each night the light of the holy disciples fade away.
Weaker and weaker, one by one. 
I gaze into the moon which makes my mind as pure as crystal lakes,
my eyes cold as the darkest winter nights, but yet there is a flame inside. 
It guides me into the dark shadows beyond this world, into the infinity of thoughts... thoughts of upcoming reality.
In the name of the almighty Emperor I will ride the lands in pride, carrying the Blacksword at hand, in warfare.
I will grind my hatred upon the loven ones. 
Despair will be brought upon the hoping childs of happiness.
Wherever there is joy the hordes of the eclipse will pollute sadness and hate under the reign of fear.
The lands will grow black. 
There is no sunrise yet to come into the wastelands of phantoms lost.
May these moments under the moon be eternal.
May the infinity haut me...in Darkness.

top

The Burning Shadows Of Silence

Benighted darker and darker as I walk through the woods, into the silent shadows.
As the sky goes from dark to black ice cold whispers burn my skin. 
From nowhere to the deepest of my soul they speak unto me... grievance of sadness, like the gift of sorrow.
A moon, a bloodred full moon lights my black hearts nights. 
Lightning cracks the sky and thunders roll, throught the night a chaos of storms arise. 
Burning flames catch my eyes...
Purgatory.
Into the shadows so dark I hear the choirs of evil, a "joy" in blasphemy beyond my darkest fantasies.
The Gate is open...
Into the silent shadows I crawl, upon the throne so cold, athmosphere of melancholy.
I will forever burn...
Into the silent shadows.

Cosmic Keys To My Creations & Times

The heavens are lit by the stars where years of secret of universal forces lay hid.
They shine so bright, but yet they have seen more evil than time itself.
Reflected in the deepest lakes they are drowning in black elements.
They are the planetary keys to unlimited wisdom and power for the Emperor to obtain.
They being the gods of the wolves whom upon they bark at night, requesting their next victims in thirst of blood.
I enjoy these moments I may haunt with these beasts of the night.
What kinds of beings are existing at the deep of my lakes?
They must be of an evil race, for no friendly thing can live in such depressive waters.
Here is a planet similar to the moon, but its phase is only one and it is in its most powerful for all and ever...
There passes no light without the barking of the wolves.
All these landscapes are timeless, and this is all just a part of cosmos,
but all is mine and past and future is yet to discover...
Much have been discovered, but tomorrow I will realise I existed before myself.
I will be reborn before I die. 
I will realise planets age old, created by a ruler with a crown of dragon claws, arrived with a stargate...

Beyond The Great Vast Forest

Beyond the great vast forest, surrounded by majestic mountains, dark rivers flow like tears of sorrow.
Frost submerge the holy ring of fire. 
They shall rise again, for they are of Him...
The Dark Lord of eternity's. 
These are the Devils of Darkness.
They can not be laid to rest forever.
Resurrection...
They shall haunt again, the creatures of the night
"Phantom der nacht" Blood is life. 
Their art of death is infernal, like their life eternal.
See the castle so proud, but yet so grey and cold.
The frost submerge.
The moon is on the rise.
Hear the nocturnal howling of the wolves... the children of the night.
They shall rise again, ressurected through our gathering of the ancient and evil.
In the name of the almighty Emperor they shall rise and forever wander the land beyond the great vast forest.

top

Towards The Pantheon

May the wolves start to howl again. 
May the age of darkness arise.
We will travel for eternities into the unknown to reach what we seek.
Fight the way through the barriers of light, through the wastelands 
where nothing but grief have become the eternal memory.
Shield of life, sword of death held up high into the sky. 
Guided by the shining moon in the starry sky above.
In the horizon beyond the black clouds of destruction rages like dancing shadows of pain.
We will grant Him their pain. 
He will grant us His flame. 
In flesh and blood.
He will arise to deliver the key.
As the armored black robe slides across the landscape, we see the land of wisdom, strength and pure evil. 
Darkness, frost hate... the throne will be ours. 
May the wolves start to howl again. 
May the age of darkness arise.
May we touch the black flames of the past again... and forevermore.

The Majesty Of The Nightsky

Like the tide, shadows flow thoward the shores of light.
The night comes whirling like a maelstrom. 
Warring waves of crackling clouds embrace this nightside landscape.
The heavens bleed, through open wounds, the dim light of the moon. 
The winds are crying mournfuly and tears fly with the gust.
They whip my clenched face's freezing skin with ice-cold burning cuts.
Too long I have suffered the desert sands of time.
But as I drown in darkness it will release the sign.
My soul will leave this mortal coil of flesh and earthly life, to fly into the mist of night, 
into the nightside eclipse, and experience existance on the other side.
As a stone of scorching enthusiasm I refract the reflecting surfaces of this unfathomable sea.
Growing circles of grief and pain slides across the land as an omen of the horror yet to come.
The strength of a thousand fire-breathing demons breed in my infernal, sinking soul.
And as I reach the surfaces once again these powers are under my control.
Now I am one with the night sky majesty.

top

I Am The Black Wizards

Mightiest am I, but I am not alone in this cosmos of mine.
For the black hills consist of black souls, souls that have already died one thousand deaths.
Behind the stone walls of centuries they breed their black art. 
Boiling their spells in cauldrons of black gold.
Far up in the mountains, where the rain fall not far, yet the sun cannot reach.
The wizards, my servants, summon the souls of macrocosm.
No age will escape my wrath.
I travel through time and I return to the future.
I gather wisdom now lost.
I visit again the eternally ancient caves, before a mighty Emperor thereupon came.
Watching the mortals "discovering" my chronicles, guarded by the old demons, even unknown to me.
Once destroyed their souls are being summoned to my timeless prisons of hate.
It is delightful to feast upon the screaming souls that were destroyed in my future.
How many wizards that serve me with evil.
I know not.
My empire has no limits.
From the never ending mountains black, to the bottom of lakes.
I am the ruler and has been for eternity's long.
My wizards are many, but their essence is mine.
Forever they are in the hills in their stone homes of grief.
Because I am the spirit of their existence.
I am them.

Inno A Satana

O' mighty Lord of the Night.
Master of the beasts.
Bringer of awe and derision
Thou whose spirit lieth upon every act of oppression, hatred and strife.
Thou whose presence dweleth in every shadows.
Thous who strengthens the power of every quietus.
Thou who sway every plague and storm.
Harkee.
Thou art the Emperor of darkness.
Thou art the king of howling wolves.
Thou hath the power to force any light in wane.
Sans mercy.
Sans compassion nor will to answer whosoever asketh the why.
Thy path is capricious but yet so wide.
With no such thing as an impediment to the strong.
Every time thou consecrate me to another secret of Thine.
I take another step thowards thy Pantheon.
Forever I will bleed for Thee.
Forever wilt I praise Thy dreaded name.
Forever wilt I serve Thee.
Thou shalt forever prevail.

A Fine Day To Die (remaster bonus track)

Orgy of silence
Conspiracy of peace
Only the sound
Of the cold northern breeze
Twinsun sink fading
Behind the black lake
Asleep is the mountains
Yet the night is awake
Strange is the night
Now black stars rise
And many moons circle
Through silent the night
Die!
Die!
Along the black mountainside scattered
By the campfires awaiting the dawn
Two times a hundred men in battles
Tried by the steel in the arrow axe and the sword
By battle worn hunger torn awaitening
For the sun to break through the cold haze
And for the banners of Ebal to appear
On the hill in the suns first warm rays
The elder among the men looked deep into
The fire and spoke loud with pride
Tomorrow is a fine day to die
Now the morning advance from far east
Now the sun breaks through dustclouds and haze
Now a forest of spears appears on the hill
And steel shines bright in the suns first rays
Die!
Die!
Die!
Die!

Gypsy (remaster bonus track)

This magic winter night I see a light
Again I hear that tune, some sort of croon
Oh no, no, no, oh, my brain.
I see them gypsy waggons left in the snow
Oh, I must see that lady, I have to know
Gypsy woman, let me inside
They say you know the secret, secret of time
So gaze into your crystal and tell me
All you see
Gypsy woman, let me know
"Oh, my son, you were never gone
You're the Devil's child and so am I"
Gypsy now I know you're not my mother
You're a part of my soul,
It's dear for all to see
Oh no, no, no, I am you
Gypsy you're inside of me

Alsvartr (The Oath)

Hark, O'Nightspirit
Father of my dark self
From within this realm, wherein Thou dwelleth
By this lake of blood, from which we feed to breed
I call silently for Thy presence, as I lay this oath
May this night carry my will
And may these old mountains forever remember this night
May the forest whisper my name
And may the storm bring these words to the end of all worlds
May the wise moon be my witness
As I swear on my honour
In respect of my pride and darkness itself
That I shall rule by the blackest wisdom
O'Nightspirit
I am at one with thee
I have the eternal power
I am the Emperor
Winds and storms, embrace us now
Lay waste the light of day
Open gates to darker lands
We spread our wings and fly away

top

Ye Entrancemperium

Drawn thowards these lands again
Seeking death and sacred soil
I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul
Growing stronger once I enter my empire beyond
Emperium
Behold my coming
The fullmoon rise above me
Enlighting my realm in a silvery glow
Yet the shadows crawl beneath my storming sky
Guarding treasures from forbidden light
I still remember, through ages ago it seems
The first time I entered the gates
The revelation of ritual death
By which I became divine
Sacrifice of the life I had among the flesh of the light
And now I enter again
Even stronger, yet amazed by what I see
In ecstasy I mock the world
Suddently I memorize
Asking what I left behind
Nothing
Can I ever comprehend
Will my longing ever end?
Never
Drawn thowards these lands again
Seeking death and sacred soil
I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul
Eternally

top

Thus Spake The Nightspirit

Close your eyes
And gaze into this realm
That I reveal
See where eternities are born
Close your eyes
Behold the powers of the broken seal
See the liars bound in thorns
Fear
And you shall fall
Weakeness suffocates your will
Dare
Yet never fall
Wisdom guides the one
The strong who can defy
Death
So I speak
Though, am I heard?
Wasting visions on a world of blinded fools
Still I scorn
The vacant contradiction of life
If only to bewilder
The final truth shall speak my name
Thus spake the Nightspirit
Nightspirit
Spirit
Embrace my soul

Ensorcelled By Khaos

In an endless maze begotten
To dead ends led by fools
I sought a plague
For those who smiled at walls
In humble fear
Yet, belligerent ways came to an end
No war could ease my hunger
By craving death I was
To darkness reborn
No sacrifice too great
Caught in another maze
Truly endless
Still
This maze is mine
No peace for me
No peace I seek
My quest goes far beyond
No sacrifice too great
Caught in another maze
Truly endless
Still
This maze is mine
I hail the greatest fall
Dark is the spirit of my token
Dark is my call
Still craving
Still torn
Hear me master
Of this realm to which I was reborn
"Bearer of my stigma. Thou art of me.
Yet, claim no gift, but guidance.
For I am the giver of temptation.
Thou art the executor of Thy rewards"
The cosmic forces driving me
More noble, more free
Love and hate and all in between
I greet them all in ecstasy
Take me
Venus
Seduce me
Mars
Possess me
Tear my soul from sanity
No sacrifice too great
Caught in another maze
Truly endless
Still this maze is mine
And I am thine

The Loss And Curse Of Reverence

Memories of torment strikes me
Attempts were made to suffocate me at birth
Fools
I was already ancient
Thou cannot kill what breeds within Thee
Alas, this agony
The emptiness of earthborn pride
Hath stirred my faithful heart
Which guided me to darker paths
Far away from their pestilent ways
Cleansed was I from deceitful grace
Yet, put to scorn was I
By those unclean
Enslaved by ignorance
They blindly spat upon the deity of hate
Awake is the darkest fiend
By the fallen one I shall rise
Upon bewildered masses
To whom the indulgence of my soul
Portray as sin made god
I shall revile and quell the source
Whence mockery of my kind derive
This I know
Facile shalt my quest not come to pass
Deathwish be my gift to all at last
Honour
Commended no longer as virtue
Yet, shalt be extolled for light`s demise
By the fallen one I shall arise
Believer
Speak not to me of justice
For none have I ever seen
By God, I shall give as I receive
Betrayer
Speak not to me at all 
You and this world ripped my fucking heart out
Again... and again... and again...

The Acclamation Of Bonds

Vide
Ravens caw in reverence
Anthems to the Welkin at dusk
In celebration of the few
The kin
Beyond flesh
Beyond words
Those of the core
Beyond gods
As gods received
I float among them
On wings once broken
Now gleaming black
I share their song
Of words unspoken
Cries of the past
In times of fiendish tempest
Bloodlust against the coil
Hungry for the fall
I greet the pit
Blind Savage
Cursing Life
Yet, at the moment of my final step
The hands and golden chains are given
Bidding me that which can not be deprived
The bonds of trust and unity
Till the end
Brethen and sisters of my circle
I acclaim thee all
When guiding stars are clouded and deranged
Fear not to take my hand
The bonds of trust and unity
As gods received
Till the end

With Strength I Burn

Deep Green Dark Chaos
Blinded I run down these paths
By heart I know them
They lead to the searing cliffs
Stout they stand above the water's edge
Lifeless
And this is my foundation
Cold stone
Formed only by winds and time
How vulnerable
Lifeless
Ahh...
I have longed to be at one with this
Yet, the waters call my name
For once I wish to see
The entity behind the voice
The face of this seduction
The beauty of my pain
Am I blessed or am I cursed by thy presence
What is my crime...
What is my deed...
Is this life my redemption
Shall I repent or proceed
I hate my flesh
Its dimension poisoned my soul with doubt
It made me question the essence of...
The "I"
Slaves are those of this world
Given freedom to lay chains upon the Master
The wolf is no longer free
Release the chains and come for me
The Elder: "Suddently, his mournful cries were shunned. Out of the cold mist
came three enthralling ships. Sails torn by many a storm, and the
bows adorned by the most fierce gargoyles he'd ever laid eyes upon.
Yet, the crew they bore... Three times twelve in numbers. They stood 
motionless, wrapped in grey, worn gowns. And from behind their 
shadowed faces the seductive chanting. Bidding him on board.
Without hesitation, he accepted. And away they sailed..."
Upon these seas
Wherein I drowned so many times
I scatter the ashes of destiny
Still my flames are in hunger
With fire in my heart
Shall I greet the shores ahead
Though, I know not what will burn
Desire...
Ahh...
In the distance
I hear the waves wash over solid ground
And in this moment I am struck blind
Grant me sight so I can see
That which lies ahead of me
Cursed be my mortal eyes
For dying in the realm of death
Hear my call...
I return to the soaring cliffs
They truly shine of strength
Even though, I nothing learned
With strength I burn...

In Longing Spirit (remaster bonus track)

Landscapes
Entrance my mind with thoughts of ancient times
I wonder...
Did they walk this path
Open seas
An endless horizon they seam
I wonder...
Where did they go
Nightsky
Source of light and dark
I wonder...
Did they comprehend
Seasons running through my veins
Like snow melting on my skin
They crawl beyond my flesh
and gasp my yearning eyes
Alas!
The force of divinity
What caused its end...
I drown in thoughts
Yet, answers have abandoned this place
Long ago
Blood runs cold from my arm...
Another one is now to die
Is he the last to see
The graceful entity of nature
Is he the last to have his heart and soul 
Nailed in her embrace...
He passes on....

Curse You All Men!

Curse you all men
Who's coil is strong
I recognise the sparrows heart
Beneath the theater of misery
Disbelievers shall by dawn 
Be forced to forever mourn 
Curse you all men
That resent my empire
Cause I've risen again
At war this time
The truth I speak
Is your decease
My word is your defeat
And thou shalt not
Be able to hide anymore
The prophecy will
Conquer at last
Your sense of reality
With mission to kill
The theater of misery
He has risen again
Armed with the source of sin
And as humans shalt fade
He shalt inherit their strength
Men of the damned
You will reluctantly
Secure His eternal victory
Yes, you are indeed the few
I am the one

Decrystallizing Reason

Reason
This demigod
Unto which you cluster
Sacrilege
You sacrifice the purity
Of the air beneath your wings
A slow and painful ritual

To burn the youth you lost
Demigod
Blasphemers walk among your flock
Despite the blindfold
Proudly you carry the stone on your back
Disillusioned
You plant your feet safely to the ground
Demigod
Blasphemers walk among your flock
As the stone
You have become
Not once did you cry
For the lost ones of your world
Your care is limited
To this demigod
Unto which you cluster
Reason
Decrystallize me
Demigod
I do blaspheme
The fallen you condemn
Your heart even free of hate
Yet, scared to death by their disbelief
To ordinary common sense
And with autumn closing in
Forcing life away
No mercy will impale your sin
Dead are your tears

An Elegy Of Icaros

Icaros, I dare you
For I possess the wings of faith
Though, heavy on my shoulders
(No measurement can proove their weight)
Still, a burden are they not to me
I am the challenger of gravity
The fear is not the fate I seek
My destiny will build upon
The mighty turbulence beyond
If I fall I will rise again
Some of envy
Some of fear
Admonish by the graves of those who fall
Praise the fool that pure of heart
Leaps off your finger
Into grace
Icaros, your voice once melted
Into the choir of the fallen ones
I have heard, I have seen
The purity of their song
Icaros
Your fate embrace
A manifold of angels
I summon thee
From shattered graves
And call upon the wind
Receive my bow of reverence
Then spread your wings
And fly into oblivion

The Source Of Icon E

The land was created
In the name of the chosen
And the waves thrown
For men to see
The one who made men
To be
Prevailed from the source
Of icon E
The waves of fury
Prevailed from the source
Of Icon E
Were mine to be
Ordered to destroy and bury
No remorse!
The destiny of the wave
Was not to be found
Nor was I travelling
The deadly sea alone
The sun never rose
And my rose
Was not to be
For what purpose
I gave my return
Is still standing alone
And as the raven dropped
A feather on me
I was again to be
The chosen one...

Sworn

Four eyes as two in one
The foward circular view
That never fade
An orbital voyage
Throughout this endless sphere of all
Where time is lost and everything transcends
A graceful presence
At stolen time
As ghosts to the world
Ghosts to the world
For ice, outside, are we apart
As cold and eerie mist to the hands
Ever floating on its coarse
Towards the heights of shadowland
Thus appear the truly sworn
To be seen
To be heard
Yet, not to be seen
Four eyes as two in one (thus appear the truly sworn)
As ghosts to the world (thus appear the truly sworn)
For ice, outside, are we apart (thus appear the truly sworn)
Cold and eerie mist. Burning (thus appear the truly sworn)
A graceful presence
At stolen time
Thus appear the truly sworn

Nonus Aequilibrium

Hark
For I speak of purity
I am unconquerable
In my worship
I am invincible
On my crusade
However hard the strikes may be
However deep the wounds
This blood immortal
Bleeds for thee
Blessed was I with the consecration
To indomptable dedication
In every breath I hear
The silent whisper of your name
In every harmony
In every thought
You make my water into wine
Remember
I am always thine
Blessed was I with the consecration
To indomtable dedication
Two bound as one
In a trinity
Where I comprise
Infinite forms of infinity
In unity reborn
To a state
Where all past burdens
No longer shall be worn
I pledge to perfection
No compromise can touch my woe
Nor questions reach my faith
In immortality
In the name of
Nonus aequilibrium
I am thine
IX times IX...

The Warriors Of Modern Death

All raised
To be men
Given image and path
Supreme
Idolised warriors
Bright steel
Burning rage
Never too late to try
Stand tall
Never plead
Live and let die
I see the spirit
Of these ancestors
And reconsider the faith
A primitive sword
Can not win my war
Cold fury
Flaring eyes
Calculated verbal gun
My pride
Justified
Spiritual steel shines bright
Beyond the sun
The pride of the warriors
Is far from dead
The colours of death
Are still black and red
Though modernised
Blood will be shed

Of Blindness & Subsequent Seers

Ever behind me
Rise a shadow
Taller than I
Yet, with a certain resemblance
How many times
Do I have to contemplate my own reflection
And say; I have been blind?
I have been blind
Yet, saw the search and dreams
Of my rejection
Walking behind me
Every time
I am bound to have been granted
The gift of better sight
But my anxiety
Built one more brick
Fearing again
To choose the wrong step
Vaguely I remember
The blurred eyes of someone small
These strangers often come as blind
A troubled mind
I left behind
Yet, was it I
Or my shadow
Walking in the past?

The Eruption

...and after years in dark tunnels
He came to silence
There was nothing...
He realised that the cheering cries of worship
Were but echoes of his harsh outspoken words
Reflecting back at him from cold and naked walls
In hollow circeles fled illusions of wisdom he had heard
"From nothing came all I ever knew"
And he beheld the ruins
Of an empire torn apart
Yet, not gief nor rage did bind him
Just silent and bewildered
By the emptines
He stumbled off his throne
Suddently, the walls around him cracked wide open
And an endless void appeared in flickering, grey light
"What force, but silence, has deprived me of my coil?
No trail to guide me. No point of reference in sight"
"By nothing, resurrection shall be pure"
And he beheld the ruins
Of an empire torn apart
Wiping dust off his shoulders
Just silent now
In the emptiness
Leaving all behind
Step by step
Past all past
Slowly he approached the surface
Nothing left
To sacrifice
The mirrors mocked him on the way

Depraved

...he looked upon the world
And saw that it was still depraved
As him
Though not like him
For him, as all
But closed
Like him
Not him
Unaware
He was
Already caught within
Their cycle
Witht them
Outside
Depraved
Instinctive
Rebellion
Possessed
By bestial despair
He fought
This law
And broke
The spell
"So this is why I built my empire
Fled from the truth unto which they conspire"
In spirit born a stranger
A counterpart in mind
The speaker raised to bury
A freak among the blind
Encountered with mysteries
On his mission to reverse their ways
He sought a life among the dead
With refuge in an endless maze
...before the silence...
"This can not be the purpose of my presence
What then is the call of my return?"

Empty

He is an empty shell
-Shell-shocked Luciferian heart
He is an empty shell
-Drained and sealed
He is an empty shell
-Penetrating cold
He is an empty shell
-Empty Luciferian soul
How furiously and bombastic
He proclaimed his destruction
Of a mortal coil
In the end it seemed
This was his only possession
Long past were his "glorious" days
Of filth and lies
And he reached out to stop time
At its end
He is an empty shell
-Shell-shocked Luciferian heart
He is an empty shell
-Drained and sealed
He is an empty shell
-Penetrating cold
He is an empty shell
-Empty Luciferian soul
This constant struggle for a moment of quiet indulgence
Eventually stirred and quaked the earth so hard
It swallowed him in a dark and heavy cloud
Slowly and gently starving him into insanity
An inferno of ice
With an ever burning
Bleeding
Heart

The Prophet

...and as if awaken from eternal sleep
He sought a mentor
For he no longer knew his position
"It is the time after miracles
and I am its prophet
I have not come to cure
But to bear witness of decease"
"It is the place where blood and soil
lie beyond the boundaries of the sun
And I am its prophet
I cast the shadows
I absorb the light"
"I am the prophet
I bear witness
I absorb
I cry
"As I die
I shall burst wide open
As I die
I shall release the apocalypse
My prophecy
Thus, I hold onto faith
Thus, I keep hope
That it will prosper
And devour"
"It is the time after miracles
and I am its prophet
I have not come to cure
But to bear witness of decease"
...and pain joined his urge to perceive

The Tongue Of Fire

Teach me the tongue of fire
So that I may set the world afire
For it is cold
And this blindness can no longer give me shelter
Teach me the tongue of fire
So that I may cry out loud my wrath
And my passion
Or else my coil will blister and decay
The soul is never silent
But wordless
Held imprisoned
In a cursed tomb
Wherein reflections never fade
Never die
Slowly maddened
By the emptiness
Left to perish in the ever-dark coil
Yet, always alert in its slumber
Scorn by the drops of light
Piercing trough the surface
And it screams
The soul is never silent
But wordless
Teach me the tongue of fire
So that I may set the world afire
For it is cold
And this blindness can no longer give me shelter
Teach me the tongue of fire
So that I may cry out loud my wrath
And my passion
Or else my coil will blister and decay

In The Wordless Chamber

In the wordless chamber
They feared death
Desperately
Thus they clustered to the fruits of the earth
Craving diversion
As if to avoid knowing why
In the wordless chamber
They feared death
Desperately
Thus they proclaimed any given truth
And swallowed
As if to justify their fear
He knew that there had been hordes of seers
Before him
Who set out to cure
Though, the sick wished not to part with
Their decease
As if it made them feel
Alive
In the wordless chamber
He accepted desperation
And the unpredictable manifestations
Of hope

Grey

When all is dark
There are no points of reference
And we no longer navigate
By the stars
We just end up somewhere
...nowhere...
Where lights are dim
And shades of black are grey
Time appears like a golden calf
While the moments slip away
A search for freedom in the future
When the hours fall behind
I can always die
Another day
Desperately I seize tomorrow
All out of my reach
That is what I learned
This is what I teach
Corruption seems to flourish
While promises decay
Where lights are dim
And shades of black are grey
From the moment of arrival
We are lead astray
With nothing but a distant cry
From deep within a soul
A wordless voice
To guide us on the way
Desperately we name the voice
And make the cries our own
As if to deny the fact
That we are all alone
In solitude we mingle
Disillusioned we fall prey
Where lights are dim
And shades of black are grey
I can always live
Another day...

He Who Sought The Fire

And again he came to cherish
The comfort of mysteries
Inspiring and far away
Timeless in the moment
They painted immortality
Forever drawn towards the centre
Of this ensorcelling flame
Yet, still in fear of the sacrifice
It would take to know its name
"Do not despair", said the mystery
"You will always have a friend in me
Until the day you break my code
Then I will be gone and you are free...
...to manifest another
Towards the heavens he did aspire
Now he shall burn who sought the fire
One will mourn the ashes cold
While others behold the inferno
Unfold
Forever drawn towards the center
Of this ensorcelling flame
Yet, still in fear of the sacrifice
It would take to know its name
Now he shall burn who sought the fire
To manifest another

Thorns On My Grave

"I hereby commit my body to the ground
Sterilised and wrapped in plastic foil
Being an object of this space and time
This body should remain concealed
For it holds every disease
Ever exposed
It holds all pain and death
I could never unleash
Beneath deceiving, fragile skin
Breathes the ever growing hate within
Since the first glimpse of my existence
I have fed this greedy infection
An aimless search for potential persistence
Found no escape from the fatal injection
Of Life
For it holds every disease
Ever exposed
It holds all pain and death
It could ever unleash
Beneath deceiving, fragile skin
Breathes the ever growing hate within
I am the father
I am the son
My refugee soul has escaped
This body depraved
Of final wishes I ask none
But one
Now that I am gone
Lay thorns on my grave"
