Insatiable hunger - abysmal hate abysmal hate
The world drowns in darkness
And all words are needless to say
The silence of shadows peels cold from my skin
Evoke - awake - enlighten - suffering - a war made of sin

The twist of faith
The night of day
The smell of skin
A liquid memory of freedom from her chin

Under a silver moon the snake raises its head
Drown in eternity until we're dead

And the world you know
Is gone forevermore

Hear the whispers - hеar his call
Let's unite now - wherе serpents crawl
When desire's fading we rule the world together
In misery where angels fall

Fill her untouched flesh with bittersweet romance
Oh come sinister night - let the devils dance
Now ignite - now enlight - open up - and see
Let the voices in - becoming me

And the world you know
Is gone forevermore

Hear the whispers - hear his call
Let's unite now - where serpents crawl
When desire's fading we rule the world together
In misery where angels fall

Insatiable hunger - abysmal hate
The world drowns in darkness
The words are needless to say
The silence of shadows peels cold from my skin
Evoke- awake - enlighten - my suffering

Mighty father - thy name is fire
Leave me to fall with my untold desire
Splendour and ash - a call in the wild
Entrails and steel - glory and gore tonight

When there's struggle - there's power and loss
And there's no hope - below the cross
A calling from the mountains
A whisper from the veins
A constant feel of apathy
A blaze becoming me

I cast the critical solution - I am the architect of my illusion
A thousand fingers - a thousand eyes
Guide my soul into the night skies

Ain't death grand

Welcome to the never
Where fear and pain unite
Where sorrow gently follows yet agony subside

Welcome to the nothing
He will embrace your soul
Death is superior - it takes its toll

Enter the gate to neverending nothingness and silence
Enter the realm of the unknown
The unspoken - the inferior of hell
Become the void you always wished for - become the nameless one
The faceless one

Ain't death grand?
Blood, fire, poison, death
Ain't death grand

Tired and feeble, like Skalli, through an eclipse run
As legends told you, a wolf is said to eat the sun
Inevitable you thought would be Sol's daily rise
Now embrace Ragnarök, your skin brought your demise

Remember when we first met, I took your hand in mine
Laughing then, you followed me, back then the sun did shine
But I a madman, filled with anger and with bitterness
You're my pretty girl, your moans made me confess

Confess - confess
Sin - sin

Taste your skin, your sweetest poison
Thе sun will never rise again
Taste the sin, and cross the horizon
The world goes gently up in flames

Fulfill my deepest longing
Satisfy my hunger
A hidden lust from deep down under
The sun between your hips
Echoes from your lips
Spawn the demons I create

I create

Taste your skin - your sweetest poison
The sun will never rise again
Taste the sin and cross the horizon
The world goes gently up in flames

Shattered windows are staring from eroded walls
Doors hanging aslant on rotten hinges
Some streets still travelled, where a sane mind cringes
By wanderers on iron horses - where darkness calls

Riding, hurrying over broken pavement so as not
To spend this eerie night... with ghosts
... And there are ghosts

Those that lived here, worked, and died
Yet while they were alive, their hopеs, their virtues... crucified
If you'd ask thеm they would tell you
Of a greed beyond all limits
Of a need destroying a simple way of life

Their presence may yet be felt
Spirits floating where once the living dwelled
Between buildings crumbled, torn and shifted
Ravaged by time, you'll see, once the fog has lifted

Collapse was slow, but the wise men knew, predictable
Yet humanity's actions taken... despicable

The ashes rose, a last vision
Too late, too late, too blind to see
But when the castles crumble
That were built on sand or cloud,
Gods witnessed mankind tumble
Mankind before mammon bowed

The ones who lie unburied
Could have changed the course of time
But preferred to stay unworried
Descend into sin... and crime

The ashes rose, a last vision
Too late, too late, too blind to see
But when the castles crumble
That were built on sand or cloud,
Gods witnessed mankind tumble
Mankind before mammon bowed

Late at night, when the sky is clear
I'm like the darkest light and all will disappear
When nights turn cold, death resets its frontier
Here comes the darkness, behold the source of all your fear

"Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark;
And as that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so is the other"

Death is an evil, the gods have so judged
Had it been good, they would all have died

Wonder is the foundation of human intelligence
Inquiry the progress, ignorance the end

Fear is the mother of all gods

Religion converts despair which succumbs into resignation
Which then submits destroying all your dreams

Hope is the worst of the evils for it prolongs the torment of man
Devoid of any logic, destroying all his needs

Your enemy is fear, crawling from within
We evolve as copies of other imitations
Umbilically attached to a collective insanity

Fear is the mother of all your gods

To our ashes, glory will come too late
Fear is the mother of all gods

Religion glorifies the dogma of searching in a dark
Cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there

Late at night, when we grow sincere
I'm like the darkest light and all will disappear
When nights turn cold, and you feel you don`t belong here
In the darkness, untold, I'll keep your secrets too
All gods shall fall, in distrust of merits
Once we'll awaken they will cease to exist

With you - I've become so cold
With you - I've become so used - with you

Into you - I've wasted myself
Into you - you've imprisoned me - into you

All of our disclosures - can't be free
All of our intimacies - we've killed

Estranged
In the coldness of my heart
I'll keep an open scar

All of our moments - long derailed
All of our plans - we have failed

And I will miss you from afar
My soul withers and hurts

Impressed
Are you the lucidity I lack?
The sanity that tortures me
Buried within your lovelorn reality
My heart withers and denies

Strange
Time has embedded me
Nobody will ever disturb us
Cause while you sleep I learnt to trust
And unmask... my heart so empty

Better
The darkest hour has been
The sweetest ever, but now my wife
It's time for you to go back to life

While I remain, a ghost in your ruin

[Instrumental]

There I saw her alone
She walked with all of her purity
And I followed her home
I want to smash your felicity

Down by the waters I saw you in his arms
Why is he everything I wanted to be
He kissed away your bitterness you fell for his charms
Id smash your felicity - but only in my dreams
Only in my dreams!
In this place where we met I'm waiting for you
Why can't you be lost how I used to be
With a rock in my hand I promise to you
Id smash your felicity but only in my dreams
Only in my dreams

He laid you down and brought you extasy
You fulfilled his desirеs far beyond my beliefs
It was hatе on first sight when you gave him the key
Id smash your felicity but only in my dreams
Only in my dreams!

In this place where we met I'm waiting for you
Why can't you be lost how I used to be
With a rock in my hand I promise to you
Id smash your felicity but only in my dreams
Only in my dreams

Why?!

Only in my dreams

Gathered like a herd of sheep
A wingless dove which tries to aim for sanctity
Sanctimonious - lurking in your robes of guilt
Drink the holy ghost - waiting for epiphany

Anoint yourself with the blood of your fallen son
But how to be a saviour when you cannot run
Nailed to a piece of oaken timber in the morning light
Neglected by your priests which feast on your flesh at night

This is my body - which is broken for you
This is my blood - drink it in remembrance of me
Bring the meat for the feeble traitors you have born
Fat, rich and bold and still you suffer with your crown of thorns
Out of golden goblets let the altar winе flow like a spring
Shady creatures floating hеlplessly without a king

Kyrie eleison
Christe eleison
Gloria in excelsis deo
Kyrie eleison
Christe eleison
Gloria in excelsis deo

Kyrie eleison
Christe eleison
Gloria in excelsis deo
Kyrie eleison
Christe eleison
Gloria in excelsis deo

This is my body
This is my blood

Gloria patri
Et filio
Et spiritui sancto

Sicut erat in principio
Et nunc
Et semper
Et in saecula saeculorum

Amen!

I hear a whisper, an old and dark desire
Silent remnants of the past scorched by fire
And from the sky comes a warm soft breeze surrounding me
Kissed by a golden tongue I rise above the starlit sea

Through the eyes of a dead man a shadow's cast upon me
A new god is rising from clay and dust
Bow down, herds of sheep
Bow down, my enemy
Bow down in agony - so shall it be

The song of sirens echoes above the waters
The stage is set to become perfectly me
My throne is waiting for me to reach the highest goal
No need for a queen - when I can be your king

Through the eyes of a dead man a shadow's cast upon me
A new god is rising from clay and dust
Bow down, herds of sheep
Bow down, my enemy
Bow down in agony - so shall it be

I am the divine
I rise from down below

On my cold and merciless empire
I'm looking down at you and your false desire
I'm looking down and rise with grace
I'm looking down - despise the human race

Through the eyes of a dead man a shadow's cast upon me
A new god is rising
Bow down, you herds of sheep
Bow down, my enemy
Bow down in agony - so shall it be
