Dark Funeral

We come through the dampened fog-filled night
Our armour shook in measured beats
Our weapons are carved with the symbols of the great demon god
We are inlaid with gore and grime
Fom uncounted battlefields in the distant land
The smoke witnesses our murderous path

I summon the force of Geburah
Let go of your hate, so long been sealed
I need your strength that dwells within you
Lend me your flame so the sinners can burn

Christian souls cry, the sweet sound of torment
Surrounded by flames, forever they'll burn
Angels struck down, evil prevail

Like a cold hatred storm, descended from Hell
We strike the earth with our Lord's furious hate

I summon the force of Geburah
Lend me your flame so the sinners can burn
Burn!

In the name of he who reigns in the kingdom of fire and ice
Arise, ye creature of Satan
Lord, ascend your storms across this world
And answer to our summoning
Oh, Satan - Lord
I am a creature of thy creation, spawn of thy flame
Inflame of thy mind, carrier of the alteration
Let lightning storms hail the approach of thy arrival
Oh, mighty Satan - Lord

Evil lord of the darkest flame
Arise from your grave
Oh, immortal god
Slava Satan

Fly out over holy dominion
Over their teeming lands
Throughout the darkened night sky
Carried by your blizzard storm
Bring with you their world's destruction
That abide within the abyss
All-conquering flying demon
You are under my domination

Evil lord of the darkest flame
Arise from your grave
Oh, immortal god
Slava Satan!

Evil lord of the darkest flame
Arise from your grave
Oh, immortal god
Hail Satan!

Vobiscum Satanas
Cursed Nazarene, impotent king
Behold great Satanas
As he drives his nails deeper
Into they hand

The weak fugitive, God eyes
Cries holy tears of blood
As the evil one
Presses down his crown of thorn

Ego vos benedictio
In nomine magni dei nostri Satanas
Ave Satanas
Ave domini inferni

Oh, crucified Nazarene
Where are your powers now?
When you are facing the greater force
Cursed Nazarene, impotent king
Behold thee, great Satanas

I am one with Satan, I am the horned beast
I am thy mighty emperor, ruler of the dark domain
My body is a temple wherein all demons dwell
A pantheon of flesh am I, am I

Hail me, the horned one
I am the beast

I am the truth, I am everything
Wherever life is born, I am the flame
Wherever death will strike, I am the knife
Wherever evil dwells, I am the one behind

Infront of the ineffable king of darkness
You shall die!

I am one with Satan, I am the horned beast
I am thy mighty emperor, ruler of the dark domain
My body is a temple wherein all demons dwell
A pantheon of flesh am I

Hail me, the horned one
I am the beast

Rege Satanas, ave Satanas, hail Satan!
Rege Satanas, ave Satanas, hail Satan!

A darkened place beyond the eternal death
Hung many victims chained lifeless, stolen of all their dignity
The dried blood on her pale skin
Witness her beliefs, she's an apprentice of Satan
The wind is blowing strong from the north
While the demons force their way through the flames
To grant her with their wisdom wide
Inside the circle she feels safe
She can feel the power grow
She's an apprentice of Satan

A sigh echoes through the woods
Like a winter storm, it spread through the maze
When she's finally embraced by the darkness
That she has finally welcomed into her life!

The wind, cold as the full moon, high in the darkened sky
Carries a weak fragrance of blood
She can hear the demons call out her name
Whispers in the shadows, evil forces everywhere.
The wind is blowing strong in the north
While the demons force their way through the flames
To grant her with eternal life
She's the evil messenger of Satanic beliefs
She's an apprentice of Satan

High in the sky flies the evil apprentice
She has turned to the dark side
With her beauty and her power of Satan
She consumes the dead to get more life

High above all stands our evil apprentice
Now seduced by the dark side
With the power of Satan
She will never see the dawn until the end of time

A darkened place beyond the eternal death
Hung many victims chained lifeless
Stolen of all their dignity
The dried blood on her pale skin witness her beliefs
She's an apprentice of Satan

She's an evil apprentice

[La Reymie:]
Jeanne D'basson, You stand accused before the burning court for practising witchcraft. Do you confess? We have ways to make you talk. How do you plead?

[Jeanne:]
I never did any harm to anyone. I don't believe this

[La Reymie:]
Lead the witch to the dungeon for the test...
bring out the glowing pins. Do it now

This is rotten to the core
Jeanne is naked on the floor
In the dungeon, they want more

[La Reymie:]
Oh Jeanne, you feel so good

La Reymie is touching her body
Wringled fingers all over her

[La Reymie:]
So this is how You make with the devil
we're gonna get You, witchy woman
we will never believe in You
so you better repent Your sins now

Sticking need'es into her skin yeah
In the dungeon blood is everywhere
Clowing need'es, need'es and pins yeah
She's getting weaker, no more pain to feel

[La Reymie:]
We will never believe in You
so you better repent Your sins now

We are the servants of GOD, we believe in the devil
and we've found his mark on You, confess witch

Thoushalt not suffer a witch to live
who soever lieth with a beast shall surely be put the death

[Jeanne:]
Never did I lie with any beast of thine
dogs or cats or goats, now leave My soul alone

[La Reymie:]
He that sacrificeth unto any god save the lord only
he shall be utterly destroyed

[Jeanne:]
'Now I hear, deceiving, lying tongues
never have I done no harm to anyone

But they dis not turn her loose
Horns and tails and cloven hoof
Can You tell Me where's the proof

[Sodom cover]

Honour the fallen heroes
See their last resting place
Perished in the battle of nations
Where they found eternal peace
Do you know the use of their decorations?
Awarded for patriotism
They left their life in fire
But don't know even why

Remember the fallen
Remember the fallen

To the command of despotic dictators
They marched to fight in a senseless war
Most of them were just puppets and children
The battle was lost before it began

Brotherly in heart and hand
Know that they never come back
With combined effort
And the believe in god
Their duty only as cannon fodder
Kamikaze as living bombs
Driven into the open knife
Deceitful and malicious

Remember the fallen
Remember the fallen

Their tormented souls will never rest
To pay us back for their innocent death
No quarter shed our proud blood
Retaliation on the warpath

My word will set this world aflame
Hail me!

War, war, war...
The earth trembles beneath the all-conquering
Cloven hooves of the black horde
For a thousand years, the horde has been denied the throne
And the wings were taken from our lord
He was cast down into the nethworld forever
But now it's time for us to reclaim his realm
And bring this world into eternal darkness

(Lucifer) Lord of the east, gather your bewinged legions of the wind
And prepare to defend our lord above the ground
(Satan) Lord of the south, spread your infernal flames across the land
And gather your strength to fight for the throne

Oh, tyrannous master, bring hellish storm upon the celestial kingdom
Set the vault of heave into flames
War!

Set the legions free, open wide your gates
Let them strike the earth with your wrathful hate
Let me see your majestic kindom
Rise before my eyes, the abode of the damned
Let the weak be hurled into your eternal fire
To perish forever more

Listen to me infernal legions
Oh, mighty hordes of nightflying demons
Throughout the darkness thou shalt ride
Join my warlords
And fight the war with pride

(Leviathan) Lord of the west, command your apocalyptic wave
To break through the barrier of the weak
(Belial) Lord of the north, make the earth strong for our legions
And do not deny them to tread forbidden land

In the dungeon so cold, sits the Nazarene son
His eyes filled with tears, his soul with fear
Asking himself, where is my god now?
Preacher of lies, soon to be nailed
Hail murder, your god of filth wont help you now
Hail murder, soon to meet the evil one

Carry your cross, to your own doom
Meet the people's hatred
You will die amongst the dirt, where you belong

Christian blood soon will cover the ground
As I drive the nails of evil, deep inside
A crucified whore, that's what you are
The only crown you have, is one made of thorns

Hail murder, your god of filth wont help you now
Hail murder, soon you to meet the evil one
Hail murder, as the nails are hammered in deep
Hail murder, I am the spear in his side

Carry your cross, to your own doom
Meet the people's hatred
You will die amongst the dirt, where you belong

The demons fly high, they circle above
Waits for his blood to stop flow, and to collect his soul
The lord of lies, soon to die
Thousand of years of pain await

Hail murder, your god of filth wont help you now
Hail murder, soon you to meet the evil one
Hail murder, as the nails are hammered in deep
Hail murder, I am the spear in his side

Come forth, the goddess of sodomy
My body is the source of pain, bow
Worship me and suck my soul
Every single hole in you is mine, so now
Obey

Deep inside, you feel me pulsate
More and more and more
I hear you groan, you want me inside
Again, again, again, again
You give me pleasure, I offer you pain
The highest level of ecstasy, sexually insane

Behind my mask of pretending, I hide
In my dominion of pain

I am your god, I am your believes
I control your desire, with my godlike white salted wine

Behind my mask of pretending, I hide
In my dominion of pain

I am the way to the land of your pleasure
I am the way to your eternal lust

Diabolis Interium
I wander along the path of darkness
Heart so cold, skin so pale
Driven forth by the question
My answers are written in blood
Sweet Christian blood
You can't escape my wrath
For I am one of the lords
I am the keeper of your pain
I am the holder of the spear
Like a serpent, I'm slithering
In a maze of sin and filth

Look down, you so-called god
Step down, from your heavenly throne
Let your divine tears of blood rain over us
And behold what I do to your servants...
And behold what I do to your servants...

I am a demon that dwells in the darkest flame
The evil from inside...
I am a demon, king of the darkest realm
For I am Satan...

Diabolis Interium
Diabolis Interium

You can't escape my wrath
For I am one of the lords
I am the keeper of the key to the cosmic pain
I am the holder of the spear
Like a serpent, I'm slithering
Through your world divine

Hear me now; let this be the day of reckoning
The gauntlet has been thrown and the challenge is met
With death-rattle chains and brimstone from below
I will come with black-hearted rage and eyes of burning coal
Let the fire burn and blood flow, let skulls and bones tower up to the heavens
Cloaked in shimmering stellar glow, radiant with the cosmic light I will come
From the liquid darkness I appear
My unholy fire is needed to cleanse this world
Free from my cursed bounds
I once again will trample the earth

Bound to evil, carrier of Satan's mark
Wherever I will walk, the world will tremble
Thus I have spoken, thus shall it be

Chaos swallows the earth when I release my Christian hatred
A hatred older than memory
I move across the worlds like a dark plague
Across boundaries unseen
I ask for the gates to open
And for my legions to be set free

I call upon the power of darkness, form and shadow
I call upon the power of the elder ones, whose fate is bound to mine
I call upon master Satan, give shadow form and lend me your eyes
Grant me your crystal vision and teach me what you would have seen

The chain of Christian force is broken
And the great darkness is loosened upon this world

Thus I have spoken, thus shall it be

The earth quakes, and the seas are rising
As the warlock looks deep into the flames
The fires of evil are reflected in his abysmal eyes
As he calls upon the ancient ones
I call upon thee, keeper of the darkest flame
To drink from the chalice of souls
I call upon thee, king of all beasts
Lord of the hunt, silent stalker of the night
I call upon thee, keeper of all hatred and anguish
The one who holds the cosmic pain
I call upon thee, custodian of the infernal legions
God of war and the hatred storms

The sky spit flames, Armageddon has come
The wrath of Satan descends upon this mortal world
Men revert to beasts, suicidal despair for his glory
Every mind is clutched in terror
As a vortex of evil surrounds the warlock flames

The legions of Satan trample through the flames
The earth is scarred and burned like dead skin
Angels' blood smirched the Nazarene divine kingdom
Armageddon finally comes
The wind carries ashes and the smell of burned flesh
The rivers are filled with blood
The mortals are captured in an irreversible strife for their souls
Against the unyielding forces of evil
Armageddon finally comes

Angels weep as they slowly sink down the spears
Their kingdom is gone, now ruled by the cloven hooves
Once again, the Nazarene whore is nailed
But this time no devotees are left behind

They howl in the night
They are the children of the damned
Cursed to live in darkness
With a soul and a heart of ice
Heart of ice...
As nightfall sets in, they crawl out from their caves
Where they been hiding from the sunlight rays
Until the moon calls out their names

The endless search for fresh blood

The never-ending hunger burns their inside
Like a flame from Hell, never easing pain
They are the living shadows, cursed to live in black
You can see the reflection of the moon in their empty eyes

Look deep in their eyes, as the burning flames of Hell arise
Burning in their empty souls

They move in the night, like a pack of wolves
Hunting down their victims, there is no escape
As nightfall sets in, they crawl out from their caves
Where they've been hiding from the sunlight rays
Until the moon calls out their names
The never-ending hunger burns their inside
Like a flame from Hell, never easing pain

They howl in the night
They are the children of the damned
Cursed to live in darkness
With a soul and a heart of ice

[Mayhem cover]

The bloody history from the
past deceased humans now forgotten.
An age of legends and fear a time now
so discant.

Less numbered as they were their lives
so primitive and pagan
superstitions were a part of the life
so unprotected in the dark nights

Pagan fears.
The past is alive.
The past is alive.

Woeful people with pale faces
staring obsessed at the moon
some memories will never go away
and they will forever be here.
