Primordial - Dark Romanticism... Sorrow's Bitter Harvest... lyrics



Tracks



01. To Enter Pagan

Moonlight bathes my heart
The birds sing my serenade
The trees are whispering my
Name... my name

Dark romanticism, of a
Kind seen no more...
Lament my name when I am
Gone... remember me

These years of indifference
Have poured solitude on my soul
Ice cold my skin...
Can fires of the past
Make me once a warrior
To fight the light...

I am of the earth
My soul is as old as stone
Runetongue... speak my name
Long when winter has passed

To be at one with the earth
To be at one with what was...
...my earth...

We are as of one womb
Those whose minds may reach the clouds

02. The Darkest Flame

You... gave me strenght to carry on
You... pass all wordly troubles unto me
You... gave my time meaning
You... left your sorrow for my soul

I love you
I need you
I want you
I live you
I am you

I... layed a thousand souls to rest
I... could be a martyr in their eyes
I... wished only for them to see
I... embraced where I once dwelled
I... lived for you

"If rape, arson, poison or the knife has
Wove no pleasing pattern upon this
Drab canvas we call life, it is because
We are not bold enough." (Baudelaire)

03. Among The Lazarae

Ceremonial beauty beneath a bitter moon
Perditious souls danse their danse
Winter withered silence were once my tomb
In eternal frost, a dark romance
Listen, such angels of the end do weep
As knowledge comes for those who watch ever
Wrapped beneath the boughs of fateless sleep
Dismal dreams of paradise come never
The sky shall flow as waterfalls of distress
I, wandered in the midst of shades
O' heaven sent mysteries of hell's caress
Blind my eyes before my vision fades
I have envisaged the harvest moon
The summer of eternal reap
...has come...

Solomon's wisdom
Anastasis Christou
The harvest shall come
Ride the red dawn

Thralldom...
In repentent paths
Iconoclasm...
Opens new gates for you

"I will strike at the shepherd,
And the sheep will be scattered"

Turn my blood to wine
And I will drink to you
Open my veins for your soul
Light blind my eyes

I built my
Gallows with
Such a visionary
Conquest...
Conquerer of
Such perversion
As to remain
Unameable...

04. To The Ends Of The Earth

I am the eye of the storm
Axis Mundi, I fall to my knees
I've realised my dark dreams, father
I have become... I spread my seed
Have I not brought you to these
Ends of the earth that I defy
No effigy shall fail me now
And no voice from the sky, shall deny me

I rode the four hate winds
From where I came, I could not name
I hear the colours and see the sounds
I arose from the east, and plagued
The lands of the same... I had no need
Of incantation, or enchantmant
You brought the end upon your world
Our world has no end... your's
Has just begun... now is torment

Now is forever... destiny unfurled
