Glowing eyes, staring eyes
Manifest of evil presence With entities swept in disease and decay A fall from paradise beyond redemption He who speaks of nightly tresures 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 Infesting the dead in herdes His grandeur of guidance in roundtrips obscure He who immerse my hands in sullen thrills His pat on wich domination linger He who dares to proove the sanity of mine He who speaks of nightly tresures He who lets me serve and slip away Black uneartly void creatures crawling Forbidden forgotten fairly underrated Bastards in the shape of angels holding my hands Passing me wath 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 mirage 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 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 Apart of this horror scenario I descend with arms open wide Armoured and filled with painful pleasure Reflectingg streams of monstrous mirages I will not hide Loosing controll 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 temting eyes she does receive A hunter of the night devil's whore May her cursed beauty hunt me forever We embrace the madness gathered as one Mourning dead passion... she comes to me A fate awaits us in the night In the ruins of creation we will unite * Repeat She comes to me - a shining beacon Confused by the sensual innovation Passion... towards image of mortal evil Passion... embraced by the image of united death The enigma lies broken Searching for those precious moments Reaching for a higher of existence Like a newborn migrant in the void I am smitten by forbidden fruit Possessed by moments of dark splendour To walk the nightmare terrains forever The enigma lies broken Possessed by moments of dark splendour To walk the nightmare terrains forever United with new unhallowed grace This cursed beauty hunts me forever |

Erotic and dreamlike still in its mortal disguise
A passionate ritual in the ruined garden theatre The painted angels - shadowed high above Once they gathered to worship at the picture of me Like a whisper where there are no words Appears the perplexed - the statue of might In the cradle of the next generation A spiraling ruin - lost in the gathering dust ...The faces you saw in the withering garden I witnessed the flikkering - 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 mu 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 goath of a thousand young Two horns thrust upwards in defiance, three inverted as the trinity denied A phalanx of mourners in black, falling towards nightly terror Unleash the temted beast, raised your horns in pridefull blasphemy I'll be your guide into the glourious darrkness, and enchant you like a taste of sin Unleash the temted beast, chant theron in words of blazing scorn Grant me my dark desires, strengthened through the power of satan Take plesure in the torment of the wretched And rejoice in the delight of the flesh Behold the face of satan And walk the fields of erotic fire Hunt the heavens... Godless temted beckon Through gleaming scapes of horrid nightmare Gathered between symbols and signs A glow of new light is born out of the night Give into your lust and carnal desires in twisted blood-dripping ecstasy In the name of satan I lead you into temptation |

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

"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 soul The mysteries of thy creation beheld by ghouls Diabolically disguised hevenly bodies (And it's) atrociously desired primordial elements Plunging through the confused beart of sulpur 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 perly 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, uttermoust 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 Ileave 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 Ishead 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 mourning 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. |

Was it everything they told you?
Was it all the things they promised you? Was it everything they told you? Was it everything they said it would be? Strange things move in the corner of my eyes And the sky never looked so white and pretty Tiny figures crawl upon my sterile flesh There's a hole in the world, and it keeps getting bigger Was it everything you hoped for? Was it all the things you prayed for? Was it everything you hoped for? Was it everything you thought it would be? How can you love it... How can you believe it... How can you need it... When there's nothing there? In space where the stars are dead now The man in the moon still has a wicked face But the more you reach for the heavens above The more you'll hate your own pitiful love Like a river flowing around me... Mirror's paradise Pulling me in it's wake... Mirror's paradise How can you love it... How can you believe it... How can you need it... When there's nothing there? I want to show you something so much better I'll make the world seem a little bit deader You smile... but it's all despair You love... but there's nothing there Like a river flowing around me... Mirror's paradise Pulling me in it's wake... Mirror's paradise |

Bite the hand that feeds the lie The garden is severed, buried in the truth Open your eyes... 'Cause God hates you The serpents have the power coiled in illusion A poisonous gift of beautiful sin Paint the whore with the ashes of Eden It's time to face the end of the world We have flown to close the sun But in space even angels can get burned "As death rains down upon them... Cleansing the streets in a cloudburst of blood, black leather smoke coils up my nostrils tingeling with death's surprise. It leaks out through the cracks in the cold asphalt sidewalks of the city of sin ...Feast upon the images of molten massacre, as the machineries of death grind relentlessly on" We have flown to close the sun But in space even angels can get burned Lunacy breeds in silent fire No hope for mankind as the world expire |

Superstition, disguised as faith
The Fear of death plagues their eyes Automated animation, a fingerprint personality Born of desperation, So terrified that you just might dissappear when you die And that there is no difference between right or wrong Elimination of the modern nation No need for the excess population Twisted monuments of human decay Old death to new beginnings Remake the world in genocide Everything they taught you is a lie Would you die for this? Fake and fractured, soulless and manufactured Would you die for this? Crossbred and numbered, we are cybertrash Proclaimed by a thousand prophets Believed by a million fools Its an endless line of tragedies What is faith but another word for superstition On the ruins of the old Free of the moral waste Perfect and gleaming In the light of the morning star Would you die for my sins? Or would you take my life and try to make it yours? Prove me wrong, but I'll still see it my own way Would you die for this? Fake and fractured, soulless and manufactured Would you die for this?

Don't you love it this way? Don't you need it anyway...

You thought that all could be so beautiful.. You thought that everything, would be so simple You thought that everything would be so perfect (Chorus) I can't come down when you're around I lose control and hit the ground So everything must change and all remains the same This is a stillborn universe |

In the darkness of space, they suffer in temptation
Dementia creeping closer, but what difference does it make Sometimes the best way up is down And for some moments in life there are no words The sky is filled with dead stars There is no escape...There is no return In a state of terror and confusion With euphoria as an ambition... Through the doors of perception We will leave this place behind Wide open space, so out of place We were exiled and we were disgraced Eye at the center, dawn of our race Edge of the cosmos, heart of all space The ancient deception, the so-called fall from grace And Eden was just a place in outer space... The shining ones, the keepers of the garden The ancient ones, those who came from the sky Wide open space, so out of place We were exiled and we were disgraced Eye at the center, dawn of our race Edge of the cosmos, heart of all space |

Between the stars like a wanderer, across the sea of suns I reached out for the radiant shadow of a figure with horns Drawn like a moth to flame, and into the lions den Space cities of wonders, at an evolutionary dead-end Pale electric shadows, locked together in common self-hatred All it takes is an idea, a single word can change the world I tried as hard as I could to make you understand, There's no difference between up or down out here Xenophobia...Five fingers are no longer enough Xenophobia...We lost control along time ago The Judas halo - The betrayer spirit The human ambition in all its disfigured glory Liars of Light - Masters of Night We all get what we deserve in the end Xenophobia...Five fingers are no longer enough Xenophobia...We lost control along time ago |

Dead center in the middle of nowhere
Coma existence... Surrounded by the living dead There is no hope, There is no tomorrow You took our world and you bled it dry These are the last days of planet earth (And) We will be there when they realize the truth We're spinning around on our way to hell We can never get off this carousell These are the last days of planet earth Victims of a defective genepool Soulless existence... forever in pointless directions Out of tune with true evolution There are no answers, there is no solution These are the last days of planet earth (And) We will be there when they realize the truth We're spinning around on our way to hell We can never get off this carousell These are the last days of planet earth "The heart of a mystery is seen through imagination But obscured by our inability to control chaos..." We're spinning around on our way to hell We can never get off this carousell These are the last days of planet earth We're spinning around on our way to hell We can never get off this carousell These are the last days of planet earth |

United we stand in shared perversion
The love of death - The paradise of Hell This infinite limbo, like a great black engine Ultimate abomination, no one here gets out alive Let the posion arrows fall Let the pillars of "heaven" crumble Martyrs to no one but ourselves We are the rusted pillars of a better tomorrow Give me your crippled hand, and I?ll drag you into evolution Compassion is obsolete, the answers are no longer true To many sides to chose from, fascism in masked control forms Paradise...prepare for deconstruction Welcome to the radiant silos of Atom Man-made misery, the perfect anti-life Divine radiation, the corruption of flesh Ours is the God of nuclear winter Synthesized evolution of tomorrow When we tried to become, the world turned negative You were the words in my mouth When I was just trying to save their world Welcome to the radiant silos of Atom Man-made misery, the perfect anti-life Divine radiation, the corruption of flesh Ours is the God of nuclear winter "Once I was the carrier of wounds, featherless and without direction, Never a saint nor a saviour, relentless in my search for a higher existence... In a nuclear war...All men will be cremated equal!" |

We are the shattered illusions of a perfect world We are the symptoms of your deceases We are your self-imposed arch nemesis And we are your broken hopes and dreams We are the people of subtopia And we make no sound underneath the ground We are the ones you didnt want us to be Now were taking over, were breaking free We are the bastard creation of radiation We are your filth, lies and dirt We are manipulated and fabricated And We are the toxic children of earth We are the people of subtopia And we make no sound underneath the ground We are the ones you didnt want us to be Now were taking over, were breaking free "Your chains cannot shackle us Your light cannot blind us Your words cannot deafen us We are...What you didn't want us to be" We are the people of subtopia And we make no sound underneath the ground We are the ones you didnt want us to be Now were taking over, were breaking free |

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

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

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 of darkness of which I colud 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 Honored I am to mission Thy word within a creed is sworn of majestic might An infernal allegiance in which I pay my share An unholy awakening inside of which I intend to bear Beholding Thy commotion I entreat You with devotion I subsume Your might with strength I will carry on with You as my guardian against the lambs of the light Possessed by the true god of earth I am Possessed for eternity |

A scarlet sunset
the threshold to nightplay A sinful oath is to be sworn A beckoning bloodlust among the seekers Tyrranic hunger yearns A gathering in flames and fires - Devil's daughters dance Scourged in filth, obscene and lewd - Longing for dark desires The nocturnal beast appears in an evil despotic shape Expectant watching gracelessly before demanding the sluts of lust Before demanding the sluts of lust (the Beast:) "Come forth harlots, let's begin!" (the Beast approaches:) "Rise and give praise in front of Me and recieve eternal life from Me! Welcome my spirit in honor 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 recieve 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!" |

Soul(s) on departure six six six
onward unto 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 mists Where minds being enshrouded in complete night The fading of love, life and light Wandering an endless journey Dead within a trance Entering a lost dominion soulless and free Visiting a foreign place but yet so known Another dimension opens for me to see Heaven sure ain't made for me to be Heaven sure ain't made for me to be Soul(s) 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 |

Gjennom tidelose morkne drommer
I fuktig hostvind ober landstrakte vidder Mot Sorias fjellheim Kommer jeg, en fandens ridder Glatt er runen pa det hoye fjell Gnidd vekk av regn og vind Dragende kraft av ondskap lurer Her ved trollheims muldne grind Fortumlet av dette morke byggverk Med rovet gull fra lyets pakt Brukt som spott til a senke Deres murer Vi grunder over dette riket Sa vakkert fylt med tidelos skumring Som en stjerne i tomsindighetens juv Det bringer frem en nattlig mimring Over tanker fra en vissen tid Drott til himmels er det reist Av tidens endelose svarte minner Stormblast ut av det sorte indre Har bergflint rullet fra mo til kneist Undring og angst samler seg i natten I morket 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 pa menneskets jord Fylt med isklad prakt og heder |
