Sacrilege

ion subjects
in your precious kingdom in the sky
Master of fire, e0arth,water and wind

Winter... a petrified nature in a frozen world
Silence... listen to the thunderstorm
A new star is born another's burning into oblivion

Frozen thoughts

Harden my soul
lord of north
with the frost as your sword
Just like in the mountains
where the never-melting snor is hiding the scars
of eternal torture within

[Repeat first]


2. Beyound The Gates Of Pain

[Music: Berholtz, Dimsdale]
[Lyrics: Svensson]
[Cello: Hellgren]

A painfull planet in disguise
on wich I cannot breathe
Blinded by lies of light
alone in despair

Punished by my birth
slaughtered bu my belief
The future is near
and with it a connected fear

Leave your sordid life
and join the dead I know

I am the god of none-divine
Drink my blood, thick of sin
Bound to my opressed soul

Follow my hand
enter mu pandemonium
to an otherwordly pain
Beyound good and evil
we will meet again
Beyound the gates of pain


3. Without Delight

[Music: Berholtz, Dinsdalle, Svensson]
[Lyrics: Dinsdalle, Svensson]

There's a land without delight
were saints immortal were slain
Infinite day expelled by night
and pleasures unite in pain
In this land without delight
thousands of candles glow
within their flame of misty light
my blood will always flow

Drown me in the crimson sky
and utopian disease
The spirit of all life will die
Hail the godless seas

[Repeat first]

Come burn with me
in the oean so deep
The mirror of our soul
Burn, burn with me

Drown me in the crimson sky
and utopian disease
The chaos of heavens die
will fall into the seas


4. Crying Statues Of Paleness And Ice

[Music: Berholtz, Dimsdale]
[Lyrics: Svensson]

Feel the wind slowly approaching
from the deep fiords in the north
Slaying the remains of the fading automn
to reign and vigil earth
As escort knights of the frost
Behind them flocks of ravens
Blessed are those who sail with thee
they'l bring calm to this unsettled world

Dreadfull whispers broke the silence
The living became statues of paleness and ice
on their cheeks flew tears of blood
tears of blood

With lifted swords they rode out from the north
to conquer and desolate light
Born before time in an infatuated darkness so cold
preparing the automn's entombment

And of breeze came storm
angels were captured by clouds so black
At the horizon's edge a rainbow fled
colours fading absorbed by a moon so red

Crying statues of paleness and ice
crying...
crying...
crying...
crying...
crying...
crying...
Dying in the paleness and ice

[repeat first]


5. Fettered In Shackles Of Light

[Music: Berholtz, Dinsdale, Svensson]
[Lyrics: Svensson]

Crawling helpless through my scornful mind
looking upon my inner thoughts
Bless the stars my company in the night
Demoniaced, fettered inshackles of light

I feel rage for the disdainful burning sun
whose light makes me paralysed

Damned to live in the eternal darkness
Please just for once let me bear the sunset

A runaway in a world of sin
Alone I see the spirits fade away
Bless the stars my company in the night
Demoniaced, fetterd in shackles of light

I feel rage for the disdainful burning sun
whose light makes me paralysed

The need for sorrow makes me weaker
Bring death into my heathen heartwhole soul
Unchain the shackles round my neck
Shackles that keep me fettered

Damned to live in eternal darkness
Please just for once let me bear the sunset

Bless the stars my compani in the night
Demoniaced, fettered in shackles of light

Bless the stars my company in the night
Demoniaced, fettered, fettered in shackles of light...


6. Lost In The Beauty You Slay

[Music: Berholtz,Dinsdalle, Svensson]
[Lyrics: Dinsdalle, Svensson]

Licked and seduced by cerulean waves
as I travel through millions of coloured skies
To wach and to touch the night that enslaves
and listen to choirs of tormented cries

Take me to the lake of dreams
where future turns to past
Let me taste its bloodred wine
the most intence I've ever seen

Poison me delightful wine of life
my bride in the darkest of the nights
Never again will the night turn to day
I'm lost in the beauty you slay

Lifted on tattered wings through the night
to venomous jaws of darkish delight
Never again will the night turn to day
I'm lost in the beauty you slay

[Repeat sechond-third and chorus]


7. Silence In A Beloved Scream

[Music: Berholtz, Dinsdalle, Svensson]
[Lyrics: Dinsdalle, Svensson]

Echoing, ripping through the silence
tearing the soil off my soul
Silent you are, yet so loud
Beautiful still so violent and harsh

As you bleed so beautifully
I wach in silence and harmony
Fascinated and stunned of the pain you bring

[Repeat first]

Alone I stand to hear the silence
In a belovwed scream

A scream of a soul so pure but still toxicated
A scream for love in torment and hatred
A scream without beginning or end

Your voice so pure and so sanguin
invocate shadows that haunts me
Poisoned by the silence you bring
Cast me into your inexhaustible well of suffering

As I fall asleep, a delightful deathlike sleep
I dive into your abyss of grief
trying to absorb the beauty in your scream

A scream...

A scream...


8. Torment Of Life

[Music: Dinsdalle, Svensson]
[Lyrics: Dinsdalle, Svensson]


9. Into Silentium Noctis

[Music: Berholtz, Svensson]
