Unholy Matrimony - Love & Death lyrics



Tracks



01. A Prelude To Love And Death

First signs of a new dawn claimed beyond the sight of the far mountains
A black sun rising, casting a red shadow under my lonely body
A seed was growing inside of me, guiding me to the top of the mountains

Isolde calling me, whispering my name from there
Whispering my name...

Ignorant of the tragic fate that the horned angels were already announcing
Through the blizzard I was trying to reach the top
Whence my name was pronounced
Against the will of the gods
For the unholy matrimony would be an heresy
Against the very essence of reason

Passion

But the immoral had to be
Strong, pure, destructive
Beyond love
Pleasure and pain

I saw a golden hair carried by the wind getting caught in my clothes covered with snow
That was the sign, yet unknown the embrace was already tightening around my soul
Her finger was pointing at me when I discovered Her sitting on her frozen throne.

Isolde calling me, whispering my name from there
Whispering my name...

On Her side, an old druid was preparing a philtre that Her and I drank

03. Following The Black Star Of Thoughts

Two silhouettes wandering within a maze of dead trees
Scrawny guards of time

Courageously we walk hand in hand
Far from the decadent human kind
Beyond the illusion of the sun we are
In quest for reason

United by soul and blood
Fusion of thoughts and flesh
Together as one
The Truth shall be ours

Azure eyes, golden hair
We are the keepers of the unholy flames
Nails of steel, teeth of diamond
As wolfs amongst sheep forever we shall wander

Time has come for us to rise
Chaos has just revealed

Absurdity, Nothingness
Against weakness we fight
No values, No ethics
Nihilism be our guide

This is the funeral march of the Elite

In a world of perdition We have found our path
Beyond Good and Evil we stand
Together as one

Following the Black Star of Thoughts

Now running but still hand in hand
Our bloods mingled in a supreme alliance
Calm before the dawn of the final fight

Azure eyes, golden hair
We are the keepers of the unholy flames
Nails of steel, teeth of diamond
As wolfs amongst sheep forever we shall wander

Time has come for us to rise
Chaos has just revealed

04. The Feeling Of Not Belonging

Opening eyes and mind
Horrified by the extent of the degradation
We bear the revelation
But deny the living ashes

Sooty world
Led by absurdity
Though amongst the waves
We are not part of that sea

Dark rivers of hatred, scorn and contempt
Shall carry away the weak
Wiping the rust
Sons of modern lightness

The feeling of not belonging
Assails our soul?

Something has to be done
Time shall take car of it?

Opening eyes and mind
Horrified by the extent of the degradation
We bear the revelation
But deny the living ashes

Condemned we are to stand
This immoral steam of emptiness
But we shall rise
But we shall grow

Let reason be our guide
Whispering its secret words of wisdom to the ones who deserve it?

Dark rivers of hatred, scorn and contempt
Shall carry away the weak
Wiping the rust
Sons of modern lightness

The feeling of not belonging
Assails our soul?

The feeling of not belonging
Assails our soul
Preventing us from living
Preventing us from dying

05. War

Vengeance in our hearts
Vapours of Hatred blurring our vision
We, the legionnaires of the Elite
Are gathering under a dead moon

Against the law of shepherds
We follow our own path
Turning our back on the vile ones who fell
Under the sign of easiness

The declaration of War
Resonate through the gorges of Life
From thousands of winged silhouettes
In a choir of triumph

The declaration of War...

Fighting against the emptiness of thoughts
Satisfaction in decadence
Cursed are the poor in spirit
For the shall be exterminated

Thunder roars
The angry elements awake
Supporting us in our quest

Thunder roars
Vomiting innumerable tongues of fire
The sky starts its purification process

The declaration of War
Resonate through the gorges of Life
From thousands of winged silhouettes
In a choir of triumph

The declaration of War...

Fighting against the emptiness of thoughts
Satisfaction in decadence
Cursed are the poor in spirit
For the shall be exterminated

Evolution shall enforce its law
Te weak are to disappear
Denying their values
In a far but promised future we shall rise

06. Vomiting Bitter Tears Of Disgust

"Vomiting bitter tears of disgust
Four eyes fly through the dark
Where they hide from a blinding light
Master of the slave domains"

As strange as it might sound to the ears of a poor in spirit
There, our eyes are able to see

"And the trail of tears on their cheeks
Announces the dawn a revolution
The more you suffer
The more you enjoy your?

?revenge"

Betrayed by an underrace
We are not part of that flock
No!
Our bodies and souls are the incarnation of
"Der Übermensch"

Negation of a wrong construction
Recreation after destruction

Let Reason teach us
The meaning of this tide of decadence
Knowledge as pleasure and aim
Is the curtain protecting us from the sunlight

Betrayed by an underrace
We are not part of that flock
No!
Our bodies and souls are the incarnation of
"Der Übermensch"

No pity for the weak
No pity for the failures

Tired of these last dead millenniums
The human race shall separate
The troops of the Elite shall rise
As the white lambs shall be swallowed by the earth

"Macht durch Stimme"

07. La Fatalité de l'Amour Véritable

Croissance si ultime que devenu immaîtrisable, dépassant tous les entendements de la raison
La passion dévorant l'amant et l'amante se mua en un flot de lave destructeur de l'immortel

Infesté par l'inévitable, l'hymen profane se meurt
Dieu contre Dieu
Suffoqué par la vie semeuse la mort
Invoquée par l'appel de l'amour véritable

La honte engendrée par l'immonde acte
Ne pourra être effacée
Car les cicatrises persisterons par delà les songes
Et devant l'oubli témoigneront

L'amour est un mensonge
Né dans la bouche du vil ignorant
Périssent ces sinistres damnés
Ainsi moururent Tristan et Iseut

Décapité, décapité le cadavre rampe toujours
Forniquant avec la terre à qui il reviendra
Sans âme, sans feu, sans âme, sans feu, la chair se meurt seule
Les promis à l'amour s'étaient jurés la mort éternelle

Le sang mélangé s'embrase à travers les millénaires
Un volcan mortel est né, en constante éruption

Infesté par l'inévitable, l'hymen profane se meurt
Dieu contre Dieu
Suffoqués par la vie semeuse la mort
Invoquée par l'appel de l'amour véritable

Le souvenir restera, l'histoire de ne s'oublie pas
Mais se répète, l'évolution n'existe pas
A commencement était la mort
Qui engendra mort, puis mort, et mort...

Marchant sur nos pas, d'autres tomberont
Avancement mécaniquement sous les contraintes biologiques
Egalement victimes de la sombre illusion
D'une promesse pure et bâtie sur un sol stable

Ainsi moururent Tristan et Iseut...

08. Memory Must Remain

Killing myself to live
A half life, a double pain
Two is power but two is war
One is peace but one is blight

Reason against heart
The choice of negation strikes
Mutilating the newborn god
Reducing His kingdom to ashes

Ashes from which no life can grow again
Except reasonable memory, memory, memory...

The myth is broken: Isolde lies dead on the ground
Who killed Her, what killed the sworn to be everlasting
Both a suicide and a murder
The treacherous whispers of Love acted again sewing both pain and shame

Love is a Lie

Memory must remain
Beyond the present stains of pain
And shame
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Be proud!

The myth is broken: Isolde lies dead on the ground
Who killed Her, what killed the sworn to be everlasting
Both a suicide and a murder
The treacherous whispers of Love acted again sewing both pain and shame

Memory must remain
Memory must remain
