As the twilight gave birth to the night
I walked into the forest
The twisted trees clawing at the skies
These are my true dominions
The mist glows red and ablaze the sky
And the funeral wind blows cold
This is where I shall sacrifice
Here I will end my mortal life

Seduced by the October moon
Drowning in its frozen grace
Tempting my nocturnal lusts
Bathing my pale cold face

These dark forests are singing to me
In tongues it cries my name
Bidding me into its deep dark womb
Where my spirit forever shall dwell

And a cold wind of evil
Whispers my name in the forest,
I dance with witches and trolls
As the twilight gave birth to the night
I am here... Forever

My burial place will be the mountains, the forests and the seas
And so my name shall be remembered for all eternity

As the twilight gave birth to the night

My burial place will be the mountains, the forests and the seas
And so my name shall be remembered, for all eternity

And still a cold wind of evil
Whispers my name
In the forest as my spirit dance
With witches and trolls
Their hymns are praising me
For I am their newborn king...
Forever
Forever...

These dark surroundings are mine
From the smallest stone to the tallest tree
And so I will be the ruler of this night
I will reign in divinity
Divinity...

The stench in the air
Is cold as a winter night
The loss of my inner quest
The fallen star faded away...

Deeper, deeper I sink
Into the embrace of sorrow
The winds of liars caresses me
Down here in the crying
Valleys of the dreamers
Detest and yearning tears me apart

I can see the thousand points of light
Up in the burning sky
And I knew: it has to be done...

The salt of anguish
Fills my bleeding veins
My heart is pierced by its falseness
Darkness...
The pride is defeated
Once again as I rise
I stand under a flaming sky

Deeper, deeper I sink
In hope to find the fallen star
And the secrets of the northern lights
Aurora Borealis, Stellae Trajectio
Take me
Never again...
Nothing forever...

I can see the thousand points of lights
Up in the burning sky
And I knew: it has to be done...
And it seems like I'm swallowed
By its mass of oblivion
And forever to be in flames...

Among evil gods I sleep
Their ancient hymns were my dreams
But the vast and cold forest beckons
So I rose with the funeral moon
From my coffin of blackest stone
From the crypt which for aeons embraced me
Through the portals and into the frozen night
It's calling for me...

In darkness reborn
Through the midnight spheres I dance
Spreading my wings
Caressing the black infernal night

"From a timeless past I have risen to rule this kingdom of mine"

The eye of the wolves will guide me
Through landscapes of ancient black
I am eternal, I am supreme
I ride the nocturnal winds
The cry of ravens will carry me
Forth dimensions unknown by mortals
I am eternal, I am supreme
The nocturnal winds are mine

I descend into forests long forgotten
The naked trees united in perfect melancholy
And I saw spirits dancing, swirling insane
Their knowledge revealed to me

In darkness reborn
Through the midnight spheres I dance
Spreading my wings
In this forest of pernicious black

Night is eternal
The sun is forever consumed
Embraced by the beautiful blackness
So sombre, so pure...

The gate rose before him
It stood there open wide
A bloodstained portal of might
His travel to the land unknown

I awakened from this dismal dream
The same as thousand times before
This sight is so impure
So filled with mourning and with grace
It cries a message to me
Of which I cannot ever grip,
A man and this enormous gate,
With his name on it written in blood...

I fall to my knees
Spelling my name,
To be unleashed, and ever blessed
The great beyond lies open in front of me

I could see the gate,
Rise before my eyes
With a freezing smile
I entered the realm of death
I could see the truth,
Like an open book
And then I knew,
What I had become

I awakened from this dismal dream
The treshold to the dead
I've passed this enormous gate
With my name on it written in blood...

In blood... I fall to my knees
Spelling my name,
To be unleashed, and ever blessed
The great beyond lies open in front of me.

Crawling in grief
Across the distant fields
I am the desire of which engraved thee...

The formation was set
An enormous storm arouse
As the thirteenth night ablazed
With its web of obscurity
Oh you glorious blackened,
Infernal screaming belle
Reveal the name,
Unleash the path for bereavment

I have found the key, the key to the ancient flame
Awaiting the sight to dwell in mournful immortality
Like a breeze I levitate, only lead by the owl's wisdom
We followed her misanthropic sleep, so majestic and delight

Her weeping - touched me, caressed me
Her weeping - screamed and longed for me
Her weeping - gave me all her might
Her weeping - her weeping enthroned me

I am the desire of which branded you...

Into the glowing mist
Her moanings tore my cloak
Out from her empty veins, I emerged with wrath and lust
My blood in her mouth, I saw the passion
The cold passion, to become what she became

Her weeping - touched me, caressed me
Her weeping - screamed and longed for me
Her weeping - gave me all her might
Her weeping - her weeping enthroned me

I shall remain, forced to meet the dawn
Bleeding widow, I belong to her
The clouds were black as the starless night
For sunset I yearn, dusk you mysterious...

There will be no beauty
The secrets of the unborn
An angel's cries with its shattered wings
The holy blood is spilled

I fell from grace, I fell into the deepest abyss
The evocations wrath hit me like a fist
To burst out in scars of distant grief
The August flames swallowed me with its kiss

Never to be found is the key to purgatory
I felt the winds of death and its fury
They approached from the halls of sacred duty
The fall of daylight has begun

From the ruins of my domain
They gathered with a pagan oath
To reign these walls for aeons
Hungry for the bewinged
The fullmoon I adore and its victory
I raise my hands with their blood in me

I fell from grace, I fell into the deepest abyss
The evocations wrath hit me like a fist
To burst out in scars of distant grief
The August flames swallowed me with its kiss

The fullmoon...

And then she came forth, the forest goddess
Her crying hymns were calling for me
I followed her through the eternal vast forest
And so, so I found myself lost there in...

Hear the howlings in the night
I'm one with its might
Enchanted by the calling cries,
As I gaze into the sombre skies
Awaiting the shining,
The fire never seen
Waiting for the darkened path which'll,
Lead me straight to the one who dance in my dreams

In surrounding flames I must be wrapped

Wolves run by my side,
As I walk towards eternity
In hate they'll gather with my shadows,
As the moon arise

A scent of twilight
Into fading woods I march
I glimmer a shyness in the red
In eternal dreams I drown...

As the children of Fenriz,
Sang their moonlight serenades
I made love to the midnight winds
The forest embraced me,
With its impurity
In ecstacy my tears fell,
Like autumn silver rain

Now I stand above the human race
I've solved it all, the mysteries of night
It's revealed to me
With a smile I see
These stars (unseen) formations
That breeds my sunless fucking dawn.

Oh, queen of the night, hear my call
I raise my sword as many times before

Calling for the empress to return
Opening my veins, releasing my blood
And with the burning midnight mist she came,
Pale white skin and eyes of blackest flames

Nocturnal goddess of the deep
Mistress of the ancient dark
I fell into her cold embrace
The enchantress of the stars

Giving her what was hers
Pain sweet as silver thorns
Feeling exalted above thrones
Her visions were now mine

As if the sun were neverborn,
We played among the stars
Drinking the light of the goatmoon,
The universe was ours

With the purity in her kisses
I fell through the blackened skies
Promising life everlasting
As a king and queen we'd rule
And in dreams eternal we met
Dancing through this hellish night
Floating through worlds beyond cosmos

Giving her what was hers
Pain sweet as silver thorns
Feeling exalted above thrones
Her visions were now mine

I felt exalted above thrones
Love me - destroy me - suck me dry
But dawn came as it always does
Fading away, she left me crying

With the loss of my betrothed burning
I left my shell and this mortal world,
To recieve life everlasting...

Life everlasting...
