Curse you all men
Who's coil is strong I recognise the sparrows heart Beneath the theatre of misery Disbelivers shalt by dawn Be forced To forever mourn Curse you all men That resent my empire Cause I have risen again At war this time The truth I speak Is your decease My word is your defeat And thou shalt not Be able to hide anymore The prophecy will Conquer at last Your sense of reality With mission to kill The theatre of misery He has risen again Armed with the source of sin And as humans shalt fade He shalt inherit their strength Men of the damned; Your will reluctantly Secure His eternal victory Yes, you are indeed the few; I am the one. 02. Decrystallizing Reason Music by Ihsahn and Samoth Lyrics by Ihsahn
Reason
This demigod Unto which you cluster Sacrilege You sacrifive the purity Of the air beneath your wings A slow and painful ritual To burn the youth you lost Demigod Blasphemers walk among your flock Despite your blindfold Proudly you carry the stone on your back Disillusioned You plant your feet safely to the ground Demigod Blasphemers walk among your flock As the stone You have become Not once did you cry For the lost ones of your world Your care is limited To this demigod Onto which you cluster Reason Decrystallize me Demigod I do blaspheme The fallen you condemn Your heart even free of hate Yet, scared todeath by their disbelief To ordinary common sense And with autumn closing in Forcing life away No mercy wil impale your sin Dead are your tears 03. An Elegy Of Icaros Music & lyrics by Ihsahn
Icaros, I dare you
For I possess the wings of faith Though, heavy on my shoulders (No measurement can prove their weight) Still, a burden are they not to me I am the challenger of gravity The fear is not the fate I seek My destiny will build upon The mighty turbulence beyond If I fall I will rise again Some of envy Some of fear Asmonish by the graves of those who fell Praise the fool that pure of heart Leaps off your finger Into grace Icaros, your voice once melted Into the choir of the fallen ones I have heard, I have seen The purity of their song Icaros Your fate embrace A manifold of angels I summon thee From shattered graves And call upon the wind Recieve my bow of reverence Then spread your wings And fly into oblivion 04. The Source Of Icon E Music by Ihsahn and Samoth Lyrics by Ihsahn
The land was created
In the name of the chosen And the waves thrown For men to see The one who made men To be Prevailed from the source Of Icon E The waves of fury Prevailed from the source Of Icon E Were mine to be Ordered to destroy and bury No remorse! The destiny of the wave Was not to be found Nor was I travelling The deadly sea alone The sun never rose And my rose Was not to be For what purpose I gave my return Is stil standing alone And as the raven dropped A feather on me I was again to be The chosen one... 05. Sworn Music by Ihsahn and Samoth Lyrics by Ihsahn
Four eyes as two in one
The forward circular view That never ends An orbital voyage Throughout the endless sphere of all Where time is lost and everything transcends A graceful presence At stolen time As ghosts to the world Ghosts to the world For ice, outside, are we apart As cold and eerie mist to the hand Ever floating on its course Towards the heights of shadowland Thus appear the truly sworn To be seen To be feared Yet, not to be reached Four eyes as two in one Thus appear the truly sworn As ghosts to the world Thus appear the truly sworn For ice outside, are we apart Thus appear the truly sworn Cold and eerie mist. Burning Thus appear the truly sworn A graceful presence At stolen time Thus appear the truly sworn 06. Nonus Aequilibrium Music & lyrics by Ihsahn
Hark
For I speak of purity I am unconquerable In my worship I am invincible On my crusade However hard the strikes may be However deep the wounds This blood immortal Bleeds for thee In every breath I hear The silent whisper of your name In every harmony In every thought You make my water into wine Remember I am ever thine Blessed was I with the consecration To indomitable dedication Two bound as one In a trinity Where I comprise Infinite forms of unity In unity reborn To a state Where all past burdens No longer shall be worn I pledge to perfection No compromise can touch my woe Nor questions reach my faith In immortality In the name of Nonus Aequilibrium I am thine IX times IX... 07. The Warriors Of Modern Death Music & lyrics by Ihsahn
All raised
To be men Given image and path Supreme Idolised warriors Bright steel Burning rage Never too late to try Stand tall Never plead Live and let die I see the spirit Of those ancestors And reconsider the faith A primitive sword Can not win my war Cold fury Flaring eyes Calculated verbal gun My pride Justified Spiritual steel shines bright Beyond the sun The pride of the warrior Is far from dead The colours of death Are still black and red Though modernised Blood wil be shed 08. Of Blindness & Subsequent Seers Music by Ihsahn and Samoth Lyrics by Ihsahn
Ever behind me
Rise a shadow Taller than I Yet, with a certain resemblance How many times Do I have to contemplate my own reflection And say; I have been blind? I have been blind Yet, I saw the search and dreams Of my rejection Walking behind me Every time I am bound to have been granted The gift of better sight But my anxiety Built one more brick Fearing again To choose the wrong step Vaguely I remember The blurred eyes Of someone small These strangers often come as blind A troubled mind I left behind Yet, was it I Of my shadow Walking in the past? 09.
