Tear dimmed rememberance
In a womb of time Breath upon me Possessed by the passion Fate will set you free Infertile Chased be the precious When flesh is an enemy Fair weather man (pre-chorus:) Step aside from the way of a better man than you So you fall at his feet he’s the one who betrays you It’s the servants devotion for the decay Stand up (chorus:) There are no flowers on your grave There are no chains There I keep chanting for the forgotten name Why you feel so empty And still have everything It’s fullfilment I’ve got more companions When I’m all alone Flesh is fetching |

Better it would be for me
And better it would have been Had I not been born, not grown Not been brought into the world Not had to come to this earth Not been suckled for the world If I'd died a three-night-old Been lost in my swaddling band I'd have needed but a span of cloth A span more of wood, But a cubit of good earth Two words from the priest Three verses from the cantor One clang from the bell |

This is how the lucky feel
How the blessed man think Like a daybreak in spring The sun on a spring morning Like the flat brink of a cloud Like a dark night in autumn But how do I feel in my gloomy depths? This is how the lucky feel How the blessed man think Like a daybreak in spring Like the flat brink of a cloud Like a dark night in autumn A black winter day This is how the lucky feel How the blessed man think Like a daybreak in spring The sun on a spring morning Like the flat brink of a cloud Like a dark night in autumn A black winter day No darker than that Gloomier than an autumn night A black winter day |

Your helping hand is killing me
If you see me suffer it's not your victory Sadistic forms of new way discipline Like i love myself i love to sin (pre-chorus:) And i want more And i want it low Of course you wont forgive me But i wont crawl Look out for number one I pray on you it has begun Let the night stand one thousand years Longstanding ,everlasting Breathless masquerade I'm your devil in disguise (pre-chorus) (chorus:) Grieve stricken heart Calls upon you Grieve stricken heart My only look you fools I love my misery too I'm the one to see your collapse I'm on the side of destruction On the side of black and i love to sin Mentally transmitted disease Rotten wretched attraction And i love myself (pre-chorus) (chorus) |

She's riding on a crimson wave
Truth sat on her shoulder Planets before melting face The keys for the wounded Sinking into underground Please the one who wants it Something is pulling you down It's not the cravings why you need it (pre-chorus) It's a rush hour inside my head Don't wanna share the anguish And I will take it away from you Before you can change it (chorus) That bastard hallucination's pushing me Like a damned I walk over Touch the sky when it's burning red Standing the ground I have chosen Shivering in outer space There's no one who can hear you Getting into different state It's like getting nowhere Gathering all those fears and fails There's no one who can see you Someone is pulling you down It's not the cravings why you need it (pre-chorus) (chorus |

How does it feel
Blessed to receive Be modest and forgiving How does it feel You can try to hate me But you’re only hurting yourself (chorus:) Drifting in your shady memories Where to go when sorrow breeds Let the fear run through Breath in black and stiffling air All those words they disappear No need to rest it’s too early to die You don’t have to say Why rue for that day When you’ve open up your eyes again Now it’s your fate Face your heart ache You wish to make it unreal (chorus) |

I went to wash at the shore
I went to bathe in the sea And there I, a hen, was lost I, a bird Untimely died Let not my brother Ever in this world Water his war-horse Upon the seashore! Waters of the sea So much blood of mine Fishes of the sea So much flesh of mine Such the death of the young maid End of the fair little hen |

For the cold pale women
I leave some of my goodness I leave the veil of sin And let go my dreams (pre-chorus:) Eternity follows me everywhere Your words so hollow won't go anywhere Distant shadows disappears It searches the gate beyond the stars And there i can see her again (chorus:) Tell me why you have to be so pure and wrong And i'm alive to be here Is it just an omen Is it me walking blindly I will find the answer When i wake up from my dream (pre-chorus) And there i can kill her again (chorus) |

Astonishment when I bend over you creep
Put a noose around my neck Which side I decide it's my time to reap It's your side wicked and deaf Take me to the place I can sleep Wipe away all misery Turn my path away From the mind tearing tragedy Consuming range of vision I can see they decline It's a state of execution I fly free tonight *New moon laughs on it's own Without compassion I crawl through the realms unknown And kneel to the :goddess of the sad man:(4 times) Inhale all mists from the shadows And hide before the dawn Face your mortal horror You won't be reborn Is he a proud man or just a fraud Fooling himself with losers talk Punished to eternal vanity It's thy destiny to cry for purity You infidel slime I grace insanity satisfy my agony I know what my goddess needs I bet there's something wrong inside my psycho creep fire burns within her eyes take me to the deadly ride I remember how she was when she choked on her own pride *Repeat |

Where has the sun gone from us
Where is the moon lost to us The moon will not gleam at all Nor will the sun shine at all Death opens its mouth The son of the Northlander Camo to look, to listen "There beyond the river is hero walking" He took one step and took another To the north's shore he hurried He drew his sword, wrenched the iron Snatched from the sheath the harsh one Upon whose point the moon shone Upon whose hilt the sun flashed Upon whose back a horse stands He uttered a word, spoke thus, "There the sun has gone from you The sun gone and the moon lost" |

Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense
Who say that music, reckon that the kantele Was fashioned by a god Out of [a] great pike’s shoulders From a water-dog’s hooked bones: It was made from the grief Molded from sorrow Its belly out of hard days Its soundboard from endless woes Strings gathered from torments And its pegs from other ills Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense So it not play, will not rejoice at all Music will not play to please Give off the right sort of joy For it was fashioned from cares Molded from sorrow. |

Once I was there
Standing outside Looking in Beside my window Smiling face, shattering It's an old man's pride That climbs over understanding It wasn't your child That I was hurting (pre-chorus) And I turn my back to the world Well I don't care What can I say if I see you all as dead (chorus) Under the dying sun it comes Weaving fear but I have none I know that mushroom cloud Won't come very near What do you have to believe in And all the poison you breathe in The crystal heart shatters within Once I was there Standing outside Moving in Inside my window Crying face, shattering Take all that you have And leave the rest now for today It's the old folk's sign That took away for chastity (pre-chorus) (chorus |

In the morning mist
By [the] waning moon Through the woods she set on foot With a sacred blade Cut the berries down Dug up the dreaded mandrake root “Tread my path to summer’s end, This bequest I leave you”, she says “You will see what could be evergreen Turn to copper and fade to gray” By the standing stones Atropine eyes smiled at me Sitting in a sluggish vertigo Sands of time form another dream No love without sacrifice No life springs without decay The final kiss is a wormy one In soil’s cold caress, to rest we’ll lay |

Where have you been,where have you been
my son, my merry son? On the seashore, on the seashore mother, my darling one. And what have you been doing there my son, my merry son? I have been watering my horse mother, my darling one. Why is there blood upon your feet my son, my merry son? My horse stamped with its iron shoe mother, my darling one. Why there is blood upon your sword my son,my merry son? I have stabbed my brother to death mother, my darling one. What now of you, where will you go my son, my wretched son? To other lands to foreign lands my dame, my darling one. When will you be returning home my son, my wretched son? When all the world to judgment comes my dame, my darling one. |

A bird flew out of Lapland
An eagle from the Northeast One wing ruffled the water And the other swept the sky It's tail skimmed the sea It flutters, it glides It looks, it turns round "Why, man, are you in the sea Fellow, among the billows?" |

We have to know, we have to see
Religions so many, which one of them are so real, That it makes us to believe ? Crushing the chains of faith To find the way of immortality, We're hiding behind the cross To find shelter, we're searching for the name of god In this maze of hatred The name of god is lost Under the flag of salvation we are cleared this land of pagans Under the cover of Christianity, we stained our hands in blood At these times of anguish The name of God is lost "I saw the coming of the end, Sun stopped its shining, Air is no longer fresh, Then it was too late to realize, that we can't breathe our hate." The lost name of God |

It's a morning of misfortune The dawn of a mankind Listen to me instead of a blind folk's speak Forget the mature plan We are but humans you'll see (chorus) I can hear the silence See invisible emptiness Tarnish the halo of your guidance And the night is over That women in grief Luxurious Gehenna And what I have become What I have done to you Listen to me instead of a blind folk's speak Forget the mature plan We are but humans you'll see (chorus) (chorus |

Forging the future from the timeless stone
Oh let me know how far I can go Answering the questions that no one ever asks Float through the sea of madness And face the everlasting task So lonely to wander So sad to be alone In the mist of the unknown Trying to fool myself with dreams that never come true So hard to stand my ground Never again never again will I fail will I fail Chorus: Will you tell me not to wait Tell me to live for today As the flowers wither I will forget my pain Since the stars have shone The devil has shown me the way Repeat chorus |

So many years i've been fading
And closed the doors behind Pay that price if you lost it all The end is not the past recall (pre-chorus:) Waiting for the enclosening darkness And there you will be the light As it's carved in your soul Step out from your mould (chorus:) The captured mind is a captured state But only free will has it's sustain You burn away all you once loved Now it's time to turn away It's all too clear you've been hiding Nothing to tell but lies Feel shame when you distain it all Your stand is not the past recall (pre-chorus) (chorus) |

As the sun falls down
and the swell crashes into the shore The great warriors of doom and wind ride high Silent is the silence, the only breathing of horses sound, Cold northern steel, shining blade, pleases us And we all live under the black mark Oh lord, lead us to the paradise My lord, is this the promised land is this your gift Let us fly into your dreams Let us taste some blood Sorrow - the unknown force Hate - respect your enemy Bitterness - shall be forever Silence - nothing left Let us fly into your dreams Let us taste some blood |

In the vale where I once listened out for the light
Where the little birds warble The ptarmigans babble And my heart looked about for some rest from its trouble I cast my eyes downward upon the seaside And a fair young girl on the shore I espied Who was sitting and weeping To see the waves leaping And over the skyline sad vigil was keeping. O why are you weeping alone on the shore? Now still from your eyes I can see the tears pour. What sorrow and smart So pierces your heart That even at midnight it will not depart? |
