The origin of sin
Lies hidden deep within
The paths to carnal hell
And damnation of the soul

Its mysteries unbound
For the seeker to find
He who holds the key
Shall be set free

From this prison of flesh

By blood, by fire
The pain will set it free
By steel, by death
The pain will set me free
By blood, by fire
The pain will cleanse the soul
By steel, by death
The pain will cleanse my soul
By blood, by fire
The pain will heal the soul
By steel, by death
The pain will heal my soul
By blood, by fire
The pain will set it free
By steel, by death
The pain will set me free

By blood
By fire
By death

In the dark
I see your shadow in the dark
This vision haunting my mind
In my dreams, in my vain

And I yearn
I yearn for you in tears
My life is thrown away
I believe you will be there

With awe I turn to you and look into your eyes
My tears blinding my sight, my feelings in chaos
I can not face the truth too painful to accept
I can not face my life to live on without you

Imprisoned into myself
In this shell of sorrow

I run to face the light, which is not there
I search the love I once found now lost
Round in circles, can't go forward, can't go back
Trapped in this corner, forever searching

And I love
Yes I love you my precious one
Never I will rest, never I will stop
In my struggle for my life

Imprisoned into myself
In the shell of sorrow
Stuck in my pain
My life has no tomorrow

The morning sun has vanquished
The pale blue light of the night
As the new day now arrives
We clear the ashes in our search

A thousand fires burning
With unforgiving rage and fury
Consuming, devastating
The past that we have built

Black rain falls heavy
Ash and water from the sky
A poisonous redeemer
From clouded sky

Soothing our wounds
Quenching our thirst
Bringing us hope
For a day after this
This day of utter wrath

Bewildered, roaming
Through the mist
How could it come
To end like this?
Lord, if you hear, save our souls

The night comes crawling too fast
The ruins won't give us shelter
From the cold haunting darkness
And all our anger and despair

Black rain falls heavy
Ash and water from the sky
A poisonous redeemer
From clouded sky

Autumn:
Let your rain wash my sins away
A gentle stream down my face

My skin is stained and bruised
Crimson drops on pale flesh

Ease my pain
Erase this despair
An endless sleep
Would be the bliss
Of solitude

My soul is soiled and tainted
By the guilt and the shame
The wounds I bear left scars within
Profound in my being
The tears I cried turned to blood
Drained my soul
I am sorrow and sorrow is me
As autumn dies I close my eyes...

Ease my pain
Erase this despair
An endless sleep
Would be the bliss
Of solitude

Time moves slowly
Silence spreads
Like rings on water
Reaching everywhere

A new nightfall comes
Will this be the last?
All around me is gone
A vast nothingness
Spreads over the world
From shore to shore

Under a crimson sky, the soil bleeds black
The mourning sun, forever gone
And all that was, will be no more, never again
In times of Woe, in times of Death

The end of a life
Another begins
Till the end of time
In circles it moves
The pain will last
Throughout all time

The illusion now falls
The drapery
That has covered
My eyes all my life
Now I can see
The emptiness around

Under a crimson sky, the soil bleeds black
The mourning sun, forever gone
And all that was, will be no more, never again
In times of Woe, in times of Death

Langsamt forsvinner smartan
Ett sorglost slut
Pa ett liv av leda
Deneld som gav liv
Har nuslock nat
Allt som aterstar
Aska

My relentless countdown
Is refusing to change its pace
And all those old black scars
Starting to mark my face and soul

And my darkest skies
Keeps on pressing me to the ground
With these filthy curtains
Wrapped around my will

Crawling, screaming, weeping
Searching a place to hide
A place to die

I am shivering and my tears clouds my eyes
My tears burn my skin off
Fall to the ground
Screaming out
I'm not prepared to die
I haven't seen all I wish

Forevermore dark the world shall be
Upon the breaking of the seal
The birth of sin and Evil unleashed
In every man's heart and soul

Never again will tears be shed
Upon the Loss of a Life
When it's wielded the world will be
Cast into the deepest despair

Below... Deep down... It lies... Waiting
Slowly... Glowing... Crimson... Inside

(The orb has awakened from its ancient slumber...)

The shadows grow
The Shadowstone
The shadows grow

Spreading across the world... The Shadows grow
Growing darker and stronger... The Shadowstone
Will bring the end as the shadows grow

Cold and Dark
Fear in hearts

Now the night of souls and death
No, no more (life)

Once released from its ancient slumber
And brought forth from its Halls
The Shadowstone will bring destruction
To the son of Eve
