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 |

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 |

"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 the name of the future
Confused the angel beholds the master The little people are coming for me Behold the curse of mortality In the name of the future Death to the world - Death to the world In the name of the future Confused the prophet beholds his disaster The man inbetween is looking for me Destroyed in the end I ceased to be In the name of the future Death to the world - Death to the world This world is a will to power This world is a will to power "I used to be the God of the heavenly children Playing wicked games in the garden of Eden But their apple went rotten down to the core So with hands outstretched they begged for more Then I gave them the Messiah to teach them the Word He was born like a butterfly... died like a worm My kingdom rusted - The heavens burned So now I sit here watching the end of the world" In the name of the future Confused the angel beholds the master The little people are coming for me Behold the curse of mortality In the name of the future Death to the world - Death to the world This world is a will to power This world is a will to power |

There's nothing left inside your world... It's dying
Just close your eyes... Eternity is just another game You're just another clone... So shed your skin now Nothing lasts forever... Just let it slip away It doesn't have to be forever It doesn't have to be forever You're just another faithless mannequin You're just another fallen star You're just to blind to see, you hate what you can never be And now you're hollow... Just like me There's nothing left inside your world You're just an empty shell of lifeless skin and bone You're just another drone... A synthetic messiah Nothing lasts forever... Just let it slip away It doesn't have to be forever It doesn't have to be forever You don't want to be human... Anymore than me You're just another faithless mannequin You're just another fallen star You're just to blind to see, you hate what you can never be And now you're hollow... Just like me |

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 |

Born from the blind, delusional mind
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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |
