"For Fires To Burn"
Shouting thy name, again and again
Calling kingdom beyond the twilight
the shadows, the dominion gone
A journey throughout universe, formless and void
enter the kingdom of vast emptiness
Enchanted, lost in a world of oblivion
To come, and eternal night for fires to bur
n
where winds of sorrow sweeps eternally
Forever forsaken within shadows
Cast into that darkly splendid world
Delightful and with unintelligible images
I gaze therein with sightless eyes
Until eternity fades to nothingness
For in spirit I wilt never leave
To come, and eternal night for fires to burn
where winds of sorrow sweeps eternally
Behold this, the union of fire
Through empires of woeful wrath
Stand in presence of the unholy
With power and great glory
Cries of the damned, echoes
Fires burn so high, bright
But it's the image of fire
that I can only see, yet
Who knows its form, left scars,
deep inside my soul
Take me, oh darkly splendid world
In spirit I wilt never leave
"Once On A Fortunes Throne"
The dawn wilt never rise again
Sun hast fade forever
From the horizon came the cold, white moonlight
shimmering through where trees hast become lifeless shadows
and seas down the valleys, storms hast turned to ice
Sunlight wilt never touch this soil again for only the
storms of this barren landscape can live in such
burdensome and withering atmosphere
The dawn wilt never rise again
God's light died with the sun
at dusk by enthralling tyranny
sun hast fade forever
As the sun descended
They once again wilt walk the earth
The valiant knights
The noblest of ancient men
Heed their nocturnal call and
Mayest the pale moonlight
Shine therein from above
Long hast they dwelt in the darkness of unlight
Like belongings of death, secrets that man
can not bear, evoked by storms winding
through this land
Wilt they ever walk among us?
Yet, I know not
Wilt they ever walk among us?
Enwrapped by thoughts
Enwrapped by thoughts
"The Fatal Journey"
To the misanthropic paradise
To the darkness within the abys
My fatal journey begins
Haunted by the light of the day
Hiding in the shadows, awaiting the dusk,
the sweet darkness and the night
The sun forever drowned, forever drowned
in the night that drain through my restless soul
I slowly fade away, riding through the wind
My fatal journey takes me to the subterranean below
To treasures within the abyss I enter
and I leave everything behind
A lifetime has passed, though my victory is to be greater
I hide in deepest dusk
from light that wounds my soul
By sweet darkness
wilt my soul remain black
My fatal journey ends
In the misanthropic paradise I am free
I no more have to hide
In the darkness from bleeding light
that once wound my soul
My victory is to be eternal
"At The World Of Untrodden Wonder"
While ages passed, those that rides the night hast walked amidst
the stars and they hast walked the earth. But ages has passed.
They opened their eyes and in their wrath they beheld the
abomination of those that ravaged the earth
From their black cavern at the centre of all infinity
they shalt re-enter and the stars will mark their arrival
They shalt rule what they once ruled
Let their penetrable darkness enter thine soul, the darkness,
its form to men unknown. But speak not its name aloud,
the name of those that were when time was not
(Ride the night for beyond the twilight land thou shalt find
the frozen waste, the dark and mighty beware tread unto
the darkness and thou shalt know of thine nocturnal vision)
Dark clouds and mighty peakss that gleams beneath ancient
stars where silent brood the titan towers and rear
forbidden walls in timeless halls
For they hast raised their kingdom again unlocked
the doors of damnation and entered the gateway at the
forbidden world of untrodden wonder
"Departure - Astray In Spirit"
I close my eyes and enter dark visions, embracing mysticism
Fading away in the dreams out of my own depth
Storms of hate the winds of grace
Pure nocturnal art fulfills my needs
Even death falls in front of me
In dreams I am the majesty of mind
The voice that healds the speech
things I steer at turns to stone
Dark visions and embracing mysticism
Opens a path to a view unknown
Where I am the living majesty
An emperor in the night
Riding out on the wings of might
Carried by infernal storms of hate the winds of grace
Dreams, transcendental underneath and above & beyond
That carries the infernal storms of hate the minds of grace
In dreams out of my own depth
Departure all became as black innocence
"Amongst The Chosen Lost"
Certain I was amongst the chosen lost
I watched myself slowly dwindle
Where gates stood open, I the threshold crossed
With a witheld breath in pain and ecstacy
I felt the blood throb to death until
I heard distant voices wishing to console
I saw demons watchful and angels blind
Assenting yet resigned
What my recollections stole
is a past unwritten
What my recollections stole
is words unspoken
When the light withdrew I no more suffered
For in the dazzling dark my spirit stirred
But still I questioned
For my inward sight still knew the senses
and the senses tracks
Is there an answer for this solid quest
Certain I was among the chosen lost
Where the light is buried my darkness lingers,
in the dazzling dark my spirit stirred
By my witheld breath I wilt never return
Assenting yet resigned
What my recollections stole
is a past unwritten
What my recollections stole
is words unspoken
"The Burden Of Time"
The watchers fell from grace
The burden is now thine,
the legacy,
from what thou hast been longing for
The secret treasure
now is thine strenght
thine power for thee to find
the way of truly dark,
vast inner gloom
Mayest the night spirit reappear
Thine bounds unbroken
The burden
which thou can not fear
together we can embrace the darkness
and thus it shall be
Evoked are all
as the embraced
found was the way
of our legacy dark
together as one
we hast searched and found
and thus is wisdom
proved once again
of mysteries, elder eternal
Mayest the night spirit reappear
Our bounds, unbroken
The burden
which we did not fear
together we embraced the darkness
exalted our own higher power
"To Ruin And Decay"
Chained since the birth of time
What evil hast made wilt combine
To powers yet unbound
As black at the height of its glory
To return and to defeat
those that prophecies spread
amongst us
They can no longer turn
What one can not forget
less can forgive
By wrath thou wilt get
what tou art worth
By wrath thou wilt
pale into insignificance
To ruin and decay
Within accursed walls
To a death by agony of fire
your creations wilt undo
Transform into gaunt and grim
What one can not forget
less can forgive
To ruin and decay
"My Beloved Darkness"
My soul belongs to the darkest moment in life
The ones that gives me precious passion
I need to fulfill the emptiness of evil
My soul belongs to the depths of hell
To the darkness that makes every man,
yet not entire, but all so clear for whom
that seeks for the right cause
The cause that makes a life in darkness so precious
Do not spill the gift thou hast, feed it with blood
The divine blood of God's children
My soul belongs to the darkest moments in life
The ones that gives me that precious passion
I need to fulfill the emptiness of evil, to fulfill
The emptiness within my life
Oh, my empress, my beloved darkness
"Revealed Throughout The Ages"
I hail thee, Emperor of the night so ancient, I awe thee on
the dominion throne surrounded by night's flames
burning all so bright. Thou are the mightiest of all
that is mighty, thine power so strong hath travelled
on mystic pathways throughout the ages, but ever
thine way is to become even darker, there is no end
of this delight, cause in the depth of thine heart is
always darkest night. Night's veil I wrap around me
Wilt I ever return? My time hast come to enter
thy dominion, flames that embrace me and that
guides me onward to dwell in thy dark beauty
I hail thee, Emperor of the night so ancient, I awe thee on
the dominion throne surrounded by night's flames
burning all so bright. Thou are the mightiest of all
I so long have waited for this occurence and I glorify
thee for that. I am bound to forever let the burning
flame in the night so ancient burn, beholding the
energies of the dark. I'll praise the black Emperor for
eternity, with all of my cold, blackened heart
I hail thee, Emperor of the night so ancient, I awe thee on
the dominion throne surrounded by night's flames
burning all so bright. Thou are the mightiest of all
that is mighty, thine power so strong hath travelled
on mystic pathways throughout the ages, but ever
thine way is to become even darker, there is no end
of this delight, everything around you will always be
darkest night. Thou are the mightiest of all
I am black as night burning
