Oh, I have seen the light
And all I wanted was to put it out And I heard about peace, love and good I felt like destroying it all, as soon as I understood. So when offered the sacred blood of Jesus Christ For once I spat in the cup And for each time you prayed "save him" I threw you spells, saying "piss in the eye of the lamb" Holy father, I turned from you Threw the cross into the fire Your name I deny May the kingdom, the power and glory be taken from thee I close my eyes, now I dream of Hell I've been walking for long Through the valley of the shadow of death Lucifer's light guiding me On my path made of remains from people like you I'd rather spend my eternity in a lake of fire Than together with you Praying sheep, stinking church rats, your empty smiles Make me nauseous and eager to kill Still no conscience, still no regrets after all that I've done 'Cause I've never felt anything but contempt and scorn For this world and mankind A human life is worth nothing to me I've dreamt of sulphur spheres Where black's the lightest nuance And I've seen you suffer there In anguish. In tormenting void And each night, in the rivers of all-consuming fire And that fire remains within me wherever I walk All my hate is but love for the Lord My tongue's cloven like the snakes, sharp as the sword With which the lambs shall be slaughtered To water the soil with holy blood Walk into me, wander beyond the grace of god Into starless nights Soon to enter, the kingdom of shadows in abyssal grave Wield your knives, fight for what is wrong! 02. A Ghastly Silence
Those morbid characters in my dreams are crumbling
About their visions again Intimidating beings whispering words About the day that is to come The day of gloom so very dark This horrifying day of all fears When the dead shall rise and silence will reign The coming of the Devil's domain The sun will die and shine no more A ghastly silence and the dead shall walk the earth A day will come when the sun won't shine Eternal silence and the dead shall walk the earth They say the skies will divide And the forest will be turning grey As the dead will rise And walk the earth the once owned I fear that day when I wake up And I don't know what's drawing close But it's closer than ever before The coming of a new world to rise 03. Village Of The Fallen Angel
We're all doomed
That's what the old ones say The old people in the village by the hangman's bay Though centuries of time, from generation to generation The legend has lived on The legend of the fallen angel His eyes will burn a hole in the souls of those who leave His claws will take the lives of those who try Every seventh year, a virgin must be given Every seventh year they sacrifice And if they should avoid the sacrificial rite They're all doomed to burn in Hell Oh mighty angel, we drain this life of thee We drink the wine of wisdom and eternal liberty Let your mighty darkness be the torch of our lives Let us find our way, our path through your light The few who dared to try, the brave ones the defied Was never more seen alive The results of their quest; examples of the past Examples of what follows sinful deeds To every little child, the stories told, The stories about the fallen angel's light Oh mighty angel, we drain this life of thee We drink the wine of wisdom and eternal liberty Let your mighty darkness be the torch of our lives Let us find our way, our path through your light 04. Consecration
By fire and water I conjure thee
That there remain within thy frame No adverse thought nor enmity Blessed be thou cup of water Hear my will, attend to me. As my word, so mote it be Athamé, black-hilted knife I see your powers glowing so bright Blade of steel, bathed in seven seas Ban such things as named by me Shine through them, oh deadly foil Spill their blood upon earthly soil Hear my will, attend to me. As my word, so mote it be Magic book of secret powers Exorcised with water and fire The pentacle and it runes are drawn With these words of power Book of words, book of deeds Blessed be thou book of art 05. A Thousand Nightmares
We've only met in a thousand of nightmares
But you'll be with me tonight And you know me so well, baby, now would you Pull the stake from my heart I know you don't feel the way you used to be Your thoughts but dark prayers for evil to breed in thee Across your arm your arm goes a small road to somewhere Where you and I can be one Now heed my call and step out of that mansuit For I'll never be gone It was to late from the first day of your life And you and I we're like flesh and knife Demonic laughter comes echoing madly Under a fullmoon so bright And all that's beautiful, all angels cry As you disappear in the night And you'll forget everything you have ever known Can't wait to show you the sights that I have to show Together we'll suffer! 06. Bow Unto The Devil
The world will end in fire, I've seen in in my dreams
His wrathful mighty flames around us you'll see You'll never escape my vengeance; nor that of Satan By blood of your sons we shall thrive forever An urge to go beyond life down eternity's depths With pain and pleasure I fall to my knees Blesses by sulphur fires, I sold my soul Forever I ride the serpent To the Devil a son Bow unto the Devil, fall to your knees Bleed for the devil, pray with the beast A shadowed inner self, a soul bleeding strong At which the pentagram points And lead my way home I seek the tree of life for Ouroboro's kiss The third eye of wisdom to open I urge The tranquil of the Nightside soon awaits for me For the world will end in fire as I sail Charon's sea 07. Beware The Demons
Deep inside, beyond your mind
There lies something you can not deny Unconscious powers, your deepest fears The screams of fright Forever asleep but aware of your fears Scheming your death as they drink your tears The forces within, the spirits of the night Midnight hour, they are closer now Do not wake them up, do not call their names Hungry for blood and your feeble soul Their ghastly shriefs will drain your life The nightmare is real, for them you will kneel They will fill the light Do not ever try to defy The spirits of darkness are right behind The demons within - a force you can not deny Beware the Demons - the dark sides of your soul Beware the Demons - the faces of the unknown Beware the Demons - they are blinding your eyes Beware the Demons - the essence of your fright When you decide to transcend this life They will still be there, to haunt you soul Their dreadful cries will echo still, oh ohoh! No, never will they fade and die The sinister forces at your side Forever present, asleep but alive... 08. The Adversary
I'll exalt my throne above the stars of God
I won't obey, I won't bow down My desire was not to serve, nor to please Oh creator, in any life, there is my seed Father who art in Hell; hallowed be thy name II give you my life, my devotion And promise to destroy those of others Written in blood, in soil and fire, your name Whispered by the storms So feared, so hated I have burnt my tongue Praising every sign of your presence Thy every will is the same as mine Spoken out loud by every leader Chained, bound to our destiny Carved in the heart of every soul That hatred brought its shape Ascend, oh Morningstar, shine your light on us Oh great Adversary, bringer of the end I'll ascend above the heights of the clouds I will be like the most high Bow unto me, for so you've done, through all your lives I'm the saviour you'll turn unto in this end of time Oh Morningstar, who fell from heaven Hallowed be thy name Ancient serpent, end of beginnings, beginning of the end Prophet come, guide my hand, light my path So that I can be your noblest servant Ascend, oh Morningstar, shine your light on us Oh great Adversary, bringer of the end |
