01. Stjärnfall

Långt bort i oändligheten
En stjärna någonstans
Sliter sig ur ingenting
Kosmisk dissonans

I den eviga natten
I tomhetens höjd
Så tonlös och bister
Ur ingenting förtöjd

Men om jag mister
Allt som ger mig liv
Äro min förtvivlan
Det enda adjektiv
Som beskriver mig
Det som river mig
Ute I oändligheten
Upphör våra drömmar

Hela existensen var ett helvete
Ett minus, ett inte

Evig vinter i mitt bröst
Stationär i labyrinter
Här finns ingen tröst

De som faller sist i vår sista episod
Skall gråta ur sig ursäkter utan mod
I den sista av begravningsakter
I svart bränd jord

Hjärtan brister
Det stod i gamla skrifter - allt var meningslöst
Jag stirrar blint i ingenting
Jag vet inte längre vad jag vill
Hypoxisk av mardrömmar
The cycle is broken once for all

And then tomorrow dissolves forever
Nu stannar tiden
And no tomorrow will see no future
Upplöst av Universum
And then tomorrow dissolves forever
Nu brinner mörker
And no tomorrow will see no future
Stjärnfall som renat tiden

02. A Distant Glow

In cold wasted exhaustion
To search for a sign
The plains seem endless
Yet teeming with hidden walls

A distant faint glow the herald of something old
Yearning for something more
A leap of faith unanswered

Bestowed with the gift of flight
Yet unable to fly

The wind spoke of solitude
The Star spoke of rebirth
I scream in silence
And watch this world surrender
I scream in silence
and watch this world give up

Loss of mind and soul the second death of the heart
Destruction of our race, a final piece of art
The sun gave up and so did we
The landmark of our defeat
We rode without a cause, for the sky had fallen again
Arid brooks of broken dreams
Empty veins of parched dreamers
The horizon disappears
The end of everything appears

The world has lost Her name
But no one ever cared

The wind spoke of solitude
The Star spoke of rebirth
I scream in silence
And watch this world surrender
I scream in silence
And watch this world give up

03. Liminal

Shadows passes by one by one
Like a shade searching for his king
The spaces in between

Glacial and liminal
Time stands still
White noise prelude

Navigating the sea of neon suns
Ghostlike stars pulsating
Distant woes at every crossroad
A glance to past unseen

Glacial and liminal
Time stands still
White noise prelude

A static from your lost ones
The patina of your last memories
Speaks in unknown tongue
The river frozen right through
The thaw never seems to cease

Disembodied convulsions
The sickness of loneliness
You are nothing
Just a passing of time
Another shade lost in search for his king

Glacial and liminal
Time stands still
White noise prelude

04. Galactic Blood

We hung our children
High in your name
But we forgot how to speak
Born without tongues and shattered lungs
The soul of the universe
Ripped from its womb
Through collapsing vacuum, a path with no end
Wolfbane vision's realm

I would tear down the stars for you
I'd burn down Yggdrasil to the ground
For aeons I've witness the rise and fall of man
And every birth has been in vain

Rupture the veins of Laniakea
Drain the galaxy of blood
Charred earth fortress conquered
Dismantle the foundation

Spill my essence
Cut my throat
Aurorial flow
The seed of life shall grow no more

No more hymns
Bled out dry
Supplication to a lie
The seed of life is no more
Flow o sweet blood of yours

05. Thousand Doorless Rooms

The halls never seem to end, I ascend and ascend and ascend and ascend
Dreams of doors will never happen, I'm condemned to remain
Distant echoes of societies lost, their feeble howls fade
What survived in these hopeless rooms was broken truths

The signs were clear but my eyes too blind too see the coming storm
Trapped inside an endless grave too weak to carry on

While the universe splits in two vomiting astral shit
We're stuck in the mire of our self-defeat
We squandered the only chance of solace
Universal ego death
Myopic ants which march into the flames

Thousand clawing nails on damp flaxen walls
The moon never spoke but it screamed at me
Thousand doorless rooms and a sham-key
The sun never shone but it wept for me
Forever stuck while the firmament bleeds
Thousand doorless rooms, the sun never shone on me

Stellar winds like venom
Absolution through death
We have learned nothing
Break the door set us free

Peace by extinction
Lulled into deathlike repose
Unity through mutual hatred
Bloodletting through
The pulse of Vanadis

Thousand doorless rooms
Find the goddamn door

Through the cracks
The light is blinding
But not forgiving
Our death is swift
But not painless
I descend and descend and descend and descend

06. Suffer Existence

Behold our parched endless fields
Scandinavian melancholy
I'm withered and frail
Corrupting my bones
The time has come to be dethroned

Breathing stagnant blooming sludge
Swaying with algae I trudge
Immersed by this lake of death
Coerced by its goal of death

I've become the abyss and the anchor itself
I am touched by the fever of life

Suffer existence, the glow shines so bright
Your bitter thunderous symphony of blight

I sunk deeper into the fen of my discontent

Breathing stagnant blooming sludge
Swaying with algae I trudge
An intense suffocating grasp
Enslaved by gravities clasp

A heightened state of detachment
The dream soon to be over
An end fitting for everything
Suffer existence and be undone

Suffer existence and be undone
The ultimate end for everyone

07. Ro

Stilla den törst om ändlös sömn
spika mig fast i Sednas kött

Svälj ankaret av tid och dröm
och allt blir återfött

Stilla den lust om ofärd och fördärv
kedja mig fast i Sednas svans

Svälj sol som gav oss liv på denna jord
nu skall jag äntligen få ro

Nätter så långa, de tycks aldrig ta slut
Jag skär genom vågor, av förbjudna beslut
Oändliga stränder, klippor och skär
Ett omöjlig mål, i horisonten så skär

Stoftmålad dimma, i motljus som bär
En vagga av ångest och förlust
I vår moders döende barm
Mörkret så digert
Oändligt och svart
Världsalltets himmel
Evighetens natt

En dimridå av flytande sorger
Kosmiskt återförvildande
Det bleka skenet av slutet
Vi ser nu döden under vår himlapäll
Det som en gång var stjärnklart
En skugga av forna dar'
Nu valdtas universum,
Av det som finns kvar

Valdta universum
Du skall blöda för oss
Du har bränt upp allt hopp
Du slukar tid och rum
När inget längre betyder någonting
När det inte finns nått mål
Jordens mitt på ett ögonblick
Pulveriserat i ett stort svart hål
Det sista vaga ljuset
Som tränger genom natten
Ett stjärnfall, ett missfall, en iskall kristall
Snälla, ge mig ro
låt mig få ro
Snälla, ge mig ro under Gjallarbron

English translation:

Quench the thirst of endless sleep
Nail me to Sedna's flesh
Swallow the anchor of time and dream
and everything is reborn

Quench the desire of misfortune and ruin
Chain me to Sedna's tail
Swallow the sun that gave us life on this earth
now I shall finally find peace

Nights so long, they never seem to end
I cut through waves of forbidden decisions
Endless shores, cliffs, and rocks
An impossible goal, on the blush horizon

Dust-painted mist, in the backlight carrying
A cradle of anguish and loss
In our mother's dying embrace

The darkness so dense
Endless and black
The universe's sky
Eternity's night

A curtain of floating sorrows
Cosmic rewilding
The pale glow of the end
Now we see death under our firmament
What once was starlit
The universe is violated
Of what remains.

Violate the universe
You shall bleed for us
You have burned all hope
You devour time and space
When nothing means anything anymore
When there's no goal
The center of the earth in blink of an eye
Pulverized into a great black hole
The last faint light
That pierces through the night
A shooting star, a miscarriage,
an ice-cold crystal

Please, give me peace
Let me find peace
Please, give me peace under Gjallar-Bridge
