Throne of Katarsis

old winds appear

Calling the unholy forces

Deep in the forest,
In between the trees,
Underneath a funeral moonlight
Surrounded by darkness
And sorrow
The rise of a cult in the woods

The Goat Lord has returned
In the name of blasphemy
Blackness covers
The face of the earth
Entering the eternal frost
...And the trees that whisper
Will be silent forever more.

2. Under Guds Hud

Tusener ska brenna
Flackne ska doe
Idet me trenge oss
Inn onna Gud's hud
Blodet ska renna
Fra nyslakta kjoell
Flesket fra Jesus
Ska igien ligga doedt

Med slipte dekser
Gaar me te kamp
Blodet bruse i vaares aarer
Den bleike maanen lyst opp
Rester ifra Jesu' kropp
Visne blader dekke te
Det saa eingaang va
Jesu' legene

Med knivar kvessa
I doedens navn
Beskjeres kristendommen
La dej yta blod

Koede elver i norske dalar
Og moerkesmakterne i vaares ryggr
Kirker brennes i ein syklig rus
Flammane slikke Gud's himmel
Englane dette te jordaa ner
Og blik pint og brent paa baalet

Svake kristne alle som ein
Faar dela englanes skiesne
Et volderligt syn i skuprings kveld
Me danse i evig ekstase.


3. Symbols of Winter

"The northwind will take me
To places unknown
To places of ancient times"

These days, these nights
So dark, so cold
Freezing winds from the north
Are tearing my skin apart
These will be the last days
Of our lives
Still we stand strong
The blood is freezing in my veins

Waiting for this life to end
As my lifeblood turns to ice
The storms are calling
The symbols of winter

Nocturnal darkness
And the visions of my beliefs
The frost - it haunts me
For eternity
Underneath this dead cold skin
No feelings left
For I'm forever passed beyond

I believe in secret passages
To the underworld
Hidden deep inside man
A key to the gates - The gates of hell
Far from this forest
Where my body lay to rest
Far from these mountains I've walked

Hear my call
As death encloses my soul
Northwind, guide me
To eternity
My frozen body
Lay to rest
Covered in snow
While I walk
The last path

Northwinds hear my call
Guide me O northwind
To eternity

I believe in unholy spirits
Wandering this earth
Guiding us to the unknown
Leading us to new horizons
Of the other side

Leaving this earth
Horizons beyond
The northwinds are here
Take my soul
As I close these eyes forever.


4. Nattaander

Nattaander - Foer meg bort
Djupt inni skogens moerke
I ensomhetens land
Skygganes mystikk
La meg faa kjenna kulde og snoe
Saa skjerne seg inn i marg og bein
La meg med, foer meg bort
Ifra ljuets dans,
Doeden tar meg med

Vinterrikets konge
Fanden e tebake

Nattaander - Foer meg bort
Te vinterheimens fjell
Vekk fra folk og gard
Ensomheten raar

Paa veite fandens land
Mens min kropp dengle i tre.


5. An Eternal Dark Horizon

Riding the northwind
From distant places once known
Floating through the air
One with the midnight sky
The Devil's breath
From the lungs of hell
An eternal dark horizon
Is close at hand
Post mortem

In between the trees
There's a body covered in snow
A vague memory
From a distant path
Post mortem

The pain that I have felt,
The hunger I have known
No longer comes to my mind
The struggles I have fought,
The losses for which
I have died a thousand times
No longer haunts me

This forest never sleeps

The storms sweep throughout the land
Leaving nothing but hunger and death
As the eternal fog encloses this world
The graves are calling

I am the spirits in between the trees
I am the eternal silence
..As you look to the sky:
I am the night making you blind,
Forcing you to see

Riding the northwind
With the strength of a disease
The shadows are covering
The ground underneath
Choking all remaining
Signs of vitality
Feel the horror as you
Face the true master

The plague is upon us
And I am the only way out
I am the key to the gates
Behind this illusion
I am death

There is no tomorrow
Eternity is here
The inner silence yet to come

Death becomes my throne.
