Tracks



01. In A Dream

In a dream
I'm climbing the clouds
I touch a subdued sky
With my bare hands

In a dream
Let me drag you through my world
My kingdom for your thoughts
What is in your mind

When the night is to rouse your desires
In a dream
And the world of darkness whispers
In a dream
Be prepared to leave your reality
In a dream
Wake up to a game called life
In a dream

In a dream
I stand naked on a hill
I am looking down at me
Trying to touch my cold skin

In a dream
In a pool of blood
Evil is as pure as innocence
Evil is as pure as love

When the night is to rouse your desires
In a dream
And the world of darkness whispers
In a dream
Be prepared to leave your reality
In a dream
Wake up to a game called life
In a dream

02. Ancient Entity

Beneath the fullmoon
Covered in gloomy clouds
Obscure funeral spirits
Evil shadows on haunted ground

Every night they rise again
To meet the lords of death again
They live on as souls in eternity
Forced by an Ancient Entity

Through the mist I see
A circle around the gathered souls
In the mist I do belive
In sacred power of ancient kind

Knights of Satan, dead boys choir
Ten ore more around a fire
Invoking dragons and demons this event
They are not the ones that God has sent

I heard them whisper...

"As you reach the border to the unknown land,
Or when you are visited by the great lords of darkness...
Take your time, have in mind and remember...
This is not supposed to be a comfortable land..."

Every night they rise again
To meet the lords of death again
They live on as souls in eternity
Forced by an Ancient Entity

03. The Sleeping Beauty

[Dedicated to Hannah Stjärnvind]

Alone I sit, I wonder why
You dream of love and so do I
But in your sleep you cannot see
This pain which is always haunting me
What I need I'll never feel
This world is for me unreal
So I drink to darkness with a candle lit
And through the whole night alone I sit

The sleeping beauty
She stops the bleeding
She stops the bleeding in my soul
She is fresh air in this stinking world

The more I drink, the more I see
That suicide could be the key
To the place called paradise
Where pain not dwells, not hate nor lies
But if I look beyond all this
I reckon something I would surely miss
Because in my dreams I rule my life
And the sleeping beauty is my wife

The sleeping beauty
She stops the bleeding
She stops the bleeding in my soul
She is fresh air in this stinking world

04. Mountain Of Doom

Evil imaginations of a time to come
Dreamly dead - Almost gone
Nocturnal visits from the beyond
I will travel down the Mountain of Doom

At the highest point visible
I behold the sun for the very last time
I see an awful sight with awful beings
As the sun goes down behind the Mountain of Doom

The Mountain of Doom
Has taken my life

Almost there
Trying to seize my mind
Still aware
Of their seek and find

I have lost hold of myself
Taken to the extent of my life
Eternal sleep in a dreamworld's coffin
Entombed beneath the Mountain of Doom

The Mountain of Doom
Has taken my life

Almost there
Trying to seize my mind
Still aware
Of their seek and find

Now I'm there
Enjoying my peace of mind
In this lair
Death is what you'll find

05. Angels Far Beyond

Into the domain of wonderful throes
Ended in swelled domes
Like walking a tapered path
Displaying every phase in life

Angels are whispering from far beyond

I step on hallowed ground
Whereon rose clustered bouquets are thrown
I look back at my past
A lonely tear is running from my eye

Angels are whispering from far beyond

Golden flames burned out
Like mighty men who left in delight
Bizarre but still romantic
Remains scattered in the air

Angels are whispering from far beyond
Dreaded in a beautiful way...
