I Am The Night - While The Gods Are Sleeping lyrics



Tracks



01. While The Gods Are Sleeping...

When the night falls
The day loses all meaning
While the gods are sleeping
We burn the angels down

02. Hear Me O' Unmaker

Hear me O unmaker
I welcome thee worldbreaker
Banish the forsaker
I welcome thee lightbringer
For the night to arrive the flames must die
For the flames to die this world must first burn
For the world to burn we need your light
For your light to shine we need you to rise

Hear me O unmaker
I welcome thee worldbreaker
Banish the forsaker
I welcome thee lightbringer

In the sea of sorrow you swim in circles
Trapped and sinking without guidance
No matter the words that you whisper
Your god shall never hear your prayers
Remove the chains of time and space
And make my spirit soar
Let these mortal arms embrace
The life that haunts before

Hear me O unmaker
I welcome thee worldbreaker
Banish the forsaker
I welcome thee lightbringer

Be the breaker, O' Unmaker
The forsaker of another
Remove the chains of time and space
And make my spirit soar
Let these mortal arms embrace
The life that haunts before

03. Dawnbearer

Good morning to the Night!
Grant me thy wisdom and knowledge, for I hunger
The dawnbearer!
Guide my spirit for I wish to come to know thee
By the eyes of the night
Towards the distant star
Against the northwind
The dawnbearer!
Thy power feeds these woods
The dawnbearer!
Thy wisdom guides my path

O' bringer of the light
Thy wings as dark as night
Set free my mind
The moment has come
The end is nigh
The reign of terror here on Earth!

I am your servant
Thy word is my law
The dawnbearer!
Thy power feeds these woods
The dawnbearer!
Thy wisdom guides my path

O' bringer of the light
Thy wings as dark as night
Set free my mind
The moment has come
The end is nigh
The reign of terror here on Earth!
Your heavenly father
Who art in heaven
Unhallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom never come
Thy will be gone
From Earth and from heaven

Leave us!
Lead us into temptation
And deliver us for evil
For his is the kingdom
And the power and the glory
For ever and ever
Ave Satanas!
In Nomine de Luciferi, rego mei spiritus
In Nomine de Luciferi, annuo me tui scientia

04. Ode To The Nightsky

The flames of the night arrive
And burn the way for the moon
Dark rises to the heavens to destroy
The poor legions of light

Onwards

When the gate opens
The hordes of the night will rush to the sky
Crush the angels and rip their wings
See them fall from the heavens
From the heavens

And then the night sky is mine

The sleeping stars bring the dark
The netherworld
True hordes of unlight

The sleeping stars bring the dark
The netherworld
True hordes of unlight

O′ the night

O′ the night (our darkened saviour)
Bring back your dark (to kill the light and the spark)

O′ the night (start the unholy fight)
Mute the holy light (and bring back your dark)

O' the night (our darkened saviour)
Bring back your dark (to kill the light and the spark)

05. I Am The Night

This unpure flesh of mine
Must be punished and carved
Take my soul and my mind
I am your slave

The wings in the night cast a shadow over me
They guide my path towards the dark

Empowered by your wisdom
Reborn in your name
Black feathers and fiery eyes
My image twisted and broken

I feel the darkness
I feel alive

Don′t pray for salvation
Don't run from the claws
Your light shall fade
For the prince of the dark

I feel the darkness (I am the night)
I feel alive (I am the night)
I feel the darkness (I am the night)
I feel alive (I am the night)

06. The Owl

I witness the wings of the owl
In the dark night of the winter
This nocturnal being speaks to me
He grants me thy wisdom to fight

Eternal frost takes over this land
Graveless souls are doomed to wander alone
The bringer of light, the prince of darkness
Thy strength shall purify

The wheel must be broken
For the ancient truth shall set you free

Witness the rise (I will arrive)
Witness the rise (I shall set you free)
Witness the rise (I will arrive)
Witness the rise (of the morning star)

Now it′s the time to welcome the night

Witness the rise (I will arrive)
Witness the rise (I shall set you free)
Witness the rise (I will arrive)
Witness the rise (of the morning star)
The rise of the morning star

07. Among The Unseen Ones

Wrap your wings around me
Caress me into sleep
My aching, bleeding wounds
Shall never heal

Forever thy name I will sing
O′ Lucifer, my king

With you I do not fear
With you I am strong
You'll never let me fear
You′ll never let me die

Let me go into the night
Where there is unholy might
Don't let me into the light
Thy wisdom clears my sight

Lord of the night
I give you my mind
With you I am whole

Forever thy name I will sing
O' Lucifer, my king

For you I fight
O′ prince of darkness
Oh, please, please purify me

Forever thy name I will sing
O′ Lucifer, my king

Make me your chosen one
Lend me your strength
With my blade I shall strike
For you all shall bleed

Forever thy name I will sing
O' Lucifer, my king

The night is castle
The night is my kingdom
The night is my will
The night is me

08. Holocaust Of The Angels
