A step in the dark, a night much too black
I walk through the mist that haunts the old mansion

The litless room inside reveals me all my fears
Evil is here showing its wrath

I have come, kneel before me
Fulfill my will and I'll let you live as a god
You shan't pass, you shan't rule in this world
I have the strength to chain you in hell

The slowly rotting corpse holds an imprisoned soul
Possessed by a force I'm ready to crush
A violent fight, dark and bright are both lights
The light and the shade, an eternal hate

Force against force, mind against mind
Time is running out to save the softly fading life

You shall die
I shall take you with me down the slopes of Hades
You'll suffer eternal rape

I shan't fall, for I know the ancient words
I have the wisdom to balance the fate
And leave you to suffer again eternal hate

When calm is broken through and silence is gone
I open my eyes bewildered and ruined
Feel strength entering me through each hit of time
Rising reborn to be the one that I was

But reality is a picture of pain
My lineage is dead, covered in blood

When hellish creatures are asleep
And morning light covers the fields
A rising shadow is menacing
A slowly creeping tragedy

Twisting bodies cry in pain
Screaming souls falling condemned
Cut off immortality
A world torn asunder by death, pain and blood

As the light of the moon
As the petals of a rose
So fragile, so clean
Fire and stake seized the gift that I gave

All that I grew, all my creation
Scythed in a cruel river of blood

When hellish creatures are asleep
And morning light covers the fields
A rising shadow is menacing
A slowly creeping tragedy

Twisting bodies cry in pain
Screaming souls falling condemned
Cut off immortality
A world torn asunder by death, pain and blood

High is the fall for a forsaken soul
What makes the will of men succumb to desperation?

The hardest the blow, the deeper the wound
Suffocation!

Alea jacta est, lean out and reach to see
The end of your days

Oh, glorious this day that I fall
My death be my rest wherever I go

Oh, nightspirits, embrace my darkened soul
Enlighten my path, lift me where all souls belong

Feel the presence, the essence of the other side
Reach the white shores, the green lands, the morning light

Reach out to see me, reach out to touch me, to feel me
For I am forgiveness, the one who'll let your heart rest in peace

Oh, glorious this day that I fall
My death be my rest wherever I go

There is forgiveness for those whose life has been a punishment
For life itself can be a penance to endure

He stays in flames... waiting

Silently sitting on the throne of a desert hall
In the middle of a cold kingdom

Desolated, monotonous, in darkness and solitude
Oppressed by boredom he cries

Pride, freedom, knowledge
Courage to face God

Archangels, beautiful, perfect, indoctrinated
Disdain and rancour he deeply feels
Old for ages, confused and tired of his rebellion
Desperation

Solitary in his empty palace
The most beautiful of the fallen angels
Wrapping his vengeance

Conscientously in a routine he hates
But allows him to dissamble his affliction, his ruin

He feels nostalgia of heaven
But everything has got its price

Pride, freedom, knowledge
Courage to face God

Solitary in his empty palace
The most beautiful of the fallen angels
Wrapping his vengeance

Conscientously in a routine he hates
But allows him to dissamble his affliction, his ruin

Solitary in his empty palace
The most beautiful of the fallen angels
Wrapping his vengeance

A green paradise so savage like wolves
So pure like rain, so damned like hell

The endless peace of my mountains
Are disappearing by the tyranny of the machines
And the whispers of the waters of my rivers
Are flowing with death and turning into black

My species always fought for the greatness of nature
Lived in peace embraced by her
Sheltering us, protecting her
Growing under mighty rain
Fearless knowledge enlightened soul
And now she's crying
And I can't do anything
My world is falling into a deep darkness

Now the wind blows rotten air
The river flows with dead fishes
Blood flows from decapitated trees
Birds die before reaching the ground
Mysteries and legendary stories of my valleys are corrupted with smoke
My world is falling into a deep darkness

Now the rain can't wash the filth away
And the ashes of the evil that men do
And the wind takes the only essence of my forest
That fire left behind

Sadness, impotence
A landscape covered by tears
A living tomb of desolation
A kingdom destroyed and ruined

I stride everyday crushing the ice upon the snow
Stepping over the dead
I walk to the north and search for a land
To sack and to sate my thirst for blood

I take their lives, slay their bodies
See death in their eyes, death in their eyes

I see extinguishing lives
I feel their last breath away
Skins melting in high fire
As I am leaving the land

My weapons tell the chronicles of the last cruel night
And the sunlight will show the steel of my sword covered in blood

I see extinguishing lives
I feel their last breath away
Skins melting in high fire
As I am leaving the land

And the light of the sun will show what I've done
Through ages of time my name will travel on
And will always live on

The night is cold in the warrior's soul
Thoughts of death are storming his rest
In the vigil, a vision of a last setting sun
And before the dawn he awakes
Beholding his sleeping wife
With tears in his eyes, he kisses her away

The dawn is sad and grey
There will be no glorious day
But he's not alone, for his brothers are awaiting him

While marching one last thought
To his home, to the one beloved
Now the sun is high and gleaming swords rise

Attack!

The war is sad and cruel
There will be no returning home
And he feels alone, empty to the core

While fighting one last thought
While dying, to the one beloved
Now that life is gone, he'll follow his road

Death!

He takes a look at the red setting sun
He's kneeling down, waiting to die
He's closing his eyes, he's leaving this land
His soul will fly to places of light
He'll enter the gates, his heart filled with pride
The ancestors await to welcome his soul
And he'll wait for his wife to die
To lead her back to the light

Beneath doleful, somber skies
Where yore, pearl jewels gleamed
I arise from my lethargy
Thirsty to a world ruined for me

Sneaking through the long dead trees
Ghosts of ancient days
Shadow-cloaked I join their dance
Blind in ecstasy

They're caressing my skin
They're blowing my hair
Carrying chants of nightly scents
The winds are whispering my name

In cradles of withered leaves
In glooms devoid of all light
In the frozen depths of forests
I dream in rapture

They're caressing my skin
They're blowing my hair
Carrying chants of nightly scents
The winds are whispering my name

I dream of dawns, of crimson dusks
Of enlightened vistae
I dream of light
Sneaking through the long dead trees
Ghosts of ancient days

Blinded I pace
Dark is my trace
For I am the night
Damnation of light

A thousand men with just one feeling
A thousand gleaming swords under the moon
An alliance broken by just one word
Hate between two kingdoms
Tonight there will be no truce

My men advance up to enemy territory
The land trembles presaging the tragedy
The troops screaming fiercely
While they wait for my sign to attack
Two kings faced by pride and greed
Condemning thousand men in the art of war

Blood and flesh surround the battlefield
Fighting arm to arm defeating death
Unknown warriors, unknown souls
But today they will be heroes

Tonight will be the night
When my name shall be heard
When my kin shall prevail
When all your men must die

My men advance up to enemy territory
The land trembles presaging the tragedy
The troops screaming fiercely
While they wait for my sign to attack
Two kings faced by pride and greed
Condemning thousand men in the art of war

Raining arrows, a storm of fire
Men dying for an ideal
They won't return back home
They won't see their children grow
But today they will be heroes

It's a matter of time that the soul of men surrounded by temptations
May let the Hades open its gates

Downwards the Hades of the soul

This place is dark, where yore white lights were gleaming
And shone the splendour of the stars
Now lies the desert, a pale red light upon the ashes
Engulfing all life

Like Ungoliant, the dark-veiled hungry spider
Shading whispers this way comes
The winds of storm, ill-fated tidings
Carried from the larva of an inner war

I sense a creeping power, a shaking strength
Fruit of years of hateful existence of hidden wrath

Downwards the Hades of the soul

The human race is so extremely perfect
You can see it everyday
The human thought, a million years evolving
And still an embryo in search of a shape

Downwards the Hades of the soul

And there lies the soul, conditioned by race and thought
Imprisoned in flesh, dimension and blood
And there lie the gods, conditioning races and thoughts
Imprisoning lives, futures and hopes
