divide the evolution of time
assembling the conerstones of life
you haven`t seen anything alike
the soul burned to a crisp
a madman making the change
Part by part
Stone by stone
Forgive my father of life
Shrink it in size
Inserted and fitted for fight
Adapting my brother, my slave
You will become my prize
Acid with acid - piece by piece
I`m putting you together
So beautiful, you`ll see
As the world now...
...sleeps
rise my creature rise
my creature...
...RISE
[Lead: Persson]
I fest on the knowledge that I possess
I`m not your god
A madman making the change
The becoming of the future
We become...the dead
Formed into theory
A protein fed to grow
Caring, watching every move
One by one they join
Cornerstones of the body, soon whole
Ways of the future come as one
My creaure in red will now grow:
Acid with acid - piece by piece
I`m putting you together
So beautiful, aou`ll see
As the world now sleeps
I`m putting you together
So beautiful, you`ll see
I`m putting you together
I am a man, who knows affliction
From the rod of his anger
The one whom He has led and forced to walk
In darkness, not in the light
The thought of my homeless poverty
Is wormwood and gall
Remembering it over and over
Leaves my soul downcast within me
But the lord's rejection, does not last forever
Although He punishes, He forgives
In abundance of His mercies
You wrapped yourself in wrath and pursued us
You slew us and took no pity
You hid yourself into a cloud which prayers could not pierce
Till the lord from heaven
Looks down and sees
My eyes torment my soul
At the sight of all the daughters of my city
Blood-stained hands, feet the grim reaper inside of you
Remorse and guilt was never to be
Blackened out they will always remain
Only exit was to be under stone
[Chorus:]
Now they cry for the harm you have caused them
Counting strikes for the next level to come
Hierarchy stronger than steel, with force you'll be there
Your life's commitment the only thing in mind
It's a game no more
Demonized of the ghost in mind
All the more blood the chill feels in your spine
You are hooked, a slave so divine
Urges calling your name, raged fury confine
A dead feeling inside, consuming one day each time
[Chorus]
Digging your own grave was never a plan
Now standing there all quiet and mute
Wishing for your saviour to come
A reality transparent
This will never come
The dream will be slaughtered
the storm has settled
the ancient sun will rise
we obey every your demand
the world is tumbeling
our god of demise...
still you abandon me
I have praised the words
Taught in your name
Worked as your slave
Trying to understand
These weak words
Now show me a sign
My knuckles are bloody
My knees are week
From... my praying
I own the simplest of things
Dedictated this life... in vain
Others that disbeliefed,
Were hung by the neck...
And were found,
With the tounge cut out...
Relics all around
The isle that should lead to you
Studies of the history of mankind
Read and write in latin
Travelled the world from coast to coast
Seen the plauges
The blacken the tounge
Trying to heal, speaking your words
Pray for helf - so that mankind
Won`t go under
Have I proof of the excistence
Believed in the end of the world
The one that gave us life
Read the printed words...
Why have you forsaken me?
Lord, why have you forsaken me...?
FORSAKEN ME
I have no proof of the things
I teach are true
You've led me towards temptation, guided me the way
Now you have forsaken me, left me to die
Dedicated my life in vain
Downtrodden and forced to the utter darkness
Divinity is just a utopia
You have dethroned me from my dominion
Woven with the strings that choke
Chanting my final song of doom
Beyond possessed thoughts
Approach the gate to your kingdom
The transformation is complete
You've made me a heretic
This life of mine will end in despair
All the blood on my hands
[Chorus:]
Feed my demon
Randomized, burned by lies
Fear my demon
Randomized, buried life, sodomy
Feed my demon
Randomized, burned by lies
Feed my demon
Behold all my mist and might
Guardian with a scourge
Arrival of blight and hearse
Silence will redeem my soul
Behold all my mist and might
Guardian with a scourge
Arrival of blight and hearse
Silence will redeem my soul
Allegiance and covenant I have no scorn
I will see my dawn calling wrath and blood
I will abase you - obey my lust and rage
Impaled by my prophecy
With my malice I will engulf you whole
[Lyrics: Albert Bell / Music: Forsaken]
This resurrected withering pain
Deafening my silence
A haunting re-visited
Weakening my resilience
Maelstroms of indignity
Forged in hate
Tribal steel
Carving your fate (carve your fate)
....Wither the Hour
Instinctual attrition
A path through the sublime
Caress your slumber
Savour the taste of the pilgrim's grime
Sacrificial Masque
Twilight of the virginal dawn
Blood enthroned
Anonymity, forever forlorn
(Blood enthroned)
[Chorus]
A vortex to impure
Slowly murdering my inner sanctum
Dreams so obscure
Brandishing the end of my Elysium
The wounds of my nemesis
A testimony to a lusting hunger
I awaken alone in the cusp of the untamed primal hunter
Ceremonies of impulse
Re-birth of a deafening humanity
This art of retribution
Reprisal for lost aeons of subtlety
Lost aeons of subtlety
[Chorus]
A vortex to impure
Slowly murdering my inner sanctum
Dreams so obscure
The Old Ones were,
The Old Ones are,
And the Old Ones shall be.....
A temple of shame,
He is caste in the never-ending maze of darkness,,
Waiting for the light's embrace reaching the path
To the once distant shrine of his atonement
Hope of repention buried under an ocean of forgotten tears,
Consumed with the pain of the innocent's gaze
The passage of time severing the shackles of his enslavement
An oath of damnation ordained by the mark of Cain
Reaping the winter's harvests from untold sins
Equinoctial winds rhyming dirges of enchantment
[Chorus]
These bloodstained hands - Can they claim redemption?
I can hear his word - Guiding me to the dawn of my descension
Shadows beyond time - Sentinels of yore
Dreams of the vanquished - Lycantropic eyes spin the web of communion
Beyond the blind sterility of a pri-mordial conscience
The burden of sagacity the lost duality of fate
In this silent shelter the angel of light awaits
[Lyrics: Albert Bell / Music: Forsaken]
I walk through barren corridors glistening
With a stench of a promised salvation
This sultry wilderness mourns
The grieving of a mother's supplication
Seraphic overtures inebriated
By the suffering of aeons of compromise
Here he is legion, heir-apparent to Apollyon's throne
Breathing the progeny of all lies
[Chorus]
Via crucis (The way of the cross)
My kingdom has come
Arcana lucis (arcane light)
Thy will be done
A resurrection conjured on altars of impunity
Scars of betrayal shrouded in a sanctimonius reliquary
Wine-made-incarnate in a chalice of iniquity
Graven effigies accolade a deception
Enshrined in consanguinity
As the twilight sleeps, I hear
the resuscitation of a withering womb
Christendom weeps, for the child of a virginal prostitution
Ascetic icons seep with the blood of dismal martyrdom
Subjugator of the meek, the spirit of man fades
in the eyes of the distant kingdom
Serpent hordes summon the cinnamon king
Venerating the vestiges of the lonesome crown
Babylon whores writhing in ecstasy
Procreating the seven seals of prophecy
[Chorus]
Via crucis (The way of the cross)
My kingdom has come
Arcana lucis (arcane light)
When from my fellows to the grove I stray'd,
In solitude and dusk to meditate
On things forbidden, and to pierce the veil
Of seeming good and seeming beauteousness
That covers o'er the tragedy of Truth.
Hither and thither through infinity
Of light and darkness, strangely intermix'd;
Wherein all entity had consciousness,
Without th' accustom'd outward shape of life.
Of these swift circling currents was my soul,
Free from the flesh, a true constituent part;
Nor felt I less myself, for want of form.
Then clear'd the mist, and o'er a star-strown scene
Divine and measureless, I gaz'd in awe.
Alone in space, I view'd a feeble fleck
Of silvern light, marking the narrow ken
Which mortals call the boundless universe.
Borne on the wings of stark immensity,
A touch of rhythm celestial reach'd my soul;
Thrilling me more with horror than with joy.
In orphaned seas, where the haunters of the dark
Weep in solitary madness
The poet grieves a dying muse
Flowered in sin, where the smoldering earth bequeaths
The ashes of sleeping pantheons,
She lies so majestic
Her sonorous beauty, inanimate and white
A silent lyre sings homage to the lovelorn neophyte
Mordant sinews breathe and entwine
Vultures feed on the demigod's shrine
Preying on the innocence of a yesteryear
[Chorus]
The eyes of Prometheus
Guardians of the hallow hearth
Keepers of the Naochian spirit
Raise the brimstone acolyte
Raven moon, burning seed of the autumnal fire
The embers still seer in the memories of the martyr's pyre
Supplicating his mercy, benevolent and benign
Conjure the congregation in the abysmal shrine
Refute the absolute, the shrouding ambivalence
The hopes of the destitute, the mark of the inane reverence
He is the iconoclast of primeval pleasure
[Chorus]
The eyes of Prometheus
Guardians of the hallow hearth
Keepers of the Naochian spirit
These incensed eyes shall tell the eve
Of an unrepenting apocraphy
Parching my thirst in an enchanted wishing well
Veils of an unshed tear dissolved in chronicles of surreality
An insatiable swarm of fears they infinitely foretell
[Chorus]
Misery, my lustful concubine
She bleeds with profusion
Embodiment of a fallen deity's fears
Condemned to spiritual erosion
Runic sands of a soliloquy's hourglass
Conjure charms of the wise man's mantra
As I surge through the eyes of nefarious desires
The aegis of mortality melts in the frozen tundra
[Chorus]
Misery, my lustful concubine
She bleeds with profusion
Sanctuary for my wounds sublime
Born unto an altered state of ethereal seclusion
This oneness immemorial heals my rupture
In the triad of opposites I meet my sepulchre
Sephiroth, daughter of the vampire sun
I am one with the foregone leviathan
Where has the fire of hope gone?
Why has the wisdom been forlorn?
Visionaries write their destiny
And ridicule their true belief
Let sacred angels fall again
Swear truce to doctrines that prevail
We hold the sceptre of your doom
On darkened skies crows still reigns
[Chorus]
Seize the day...Carpe Diem
Seize the day...Carpe Diem
Seize the day...Carpe Diem
Seize the day...Carpe Diem
Deserted wastelands breed damnation's souls
Awakened from a deep complacent sleep
Eager the reanimate a kindred lost
And from their futile sacrilege
They have been redeemed
[Chorus]
Seize the day...Carpe Diem
Seize the day...Carpe Diem
Seize the day...Carpe Diem
Seize the day...Carpe Diem
Where has the fire of hope gone?
Why has the wisdom been forlorn?
Seize the day...
[Lyrics: Albert Bell / Music: Forsaken]
This is my body; this is my blood
From these dying whispers of a dying life
I weave the Redeemer's darkest dream,
A wish to conceal the promise of fate
Shall I ever escape what is deemed?
Father, spare me from the harshness of reality
Shall a crown of thorns be my cruel destiny?
[Chorus]
A pilgrimage through the dawn of creation
A blessed sojourn for the meaning of salvation
I gaze through the face of death
For they shall know me - the Redeemer
They say I hold the key of the eternal presence
A prophet that defies the world's futile essence
I am the offering that mankind shall forever bequeath
A karmic fortune that cannot ever be retrieved
The words of wisdom shall be forged
From the bones of my weakened body
I long to rebuke the blood spilled through
The ages of humanity's story
Father forgive them,
For they do not know what they are doing
My God why have you forsaken Me?
Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit
[Chorus]
A pilgrimage through the dawn of creation
A blessed sojourn for the meaning of salvation
I gaze through the face of death
Soaring from the carrion realm
Sundering the seal of Almadel
Betroth to the antinomy of divine might
Lucifuge Refocale; he who flees from the light
Ars goetia; hierarchy of damnation
Forging evanescent empires through lust
Ascended from the circle of conjuration
Devouring honour; defiling trust
Vanguards of the void; faceless wooden pawns
Saluting the creed of greed; killing the hand that feeds
Worshipping the cult of impulse; slaves to the serpent's
will
Anthropogenesis; novo ordo nihil
Mangled realities spewn from the liar of the daemon whore
The insanity spirals to pristine hyperborean shores
Bleak and forlorn, the dusk moon glow fleetingly shades
your woe
Chimeral gargoyles sneer at your failings; you can only
reap what you sow
Bound to a cadaverous conscience
Eidolons cast to the otherworld
Chastising the wisdom of the ageless sage
We drink the wine of Babylon's fornication
A communion of shallow bigots
Ever blind to god's revelation
Our histories unfold trials of retribution
We shed your blood at golgotha
Perched your crucifix high
We bring famine to the weak
Misery to the orphaned child
Seven angels seven plagues
Redeeming man seven vials sealing our fate
We call your name we wear your mark
We bow to your wrath king of saints
We are sin - we are the iscariot
Sons of sloth and greed - we condemn the righteous harlot
We are betrayal - we are hate
We are the spear of Longinus - Our hands serve the throne
of hecate
Seven angels seven plagues
Redeeming man seven vials sealing our fate
We call your name we wear your mark
We bow to your wrath king of saints
Seven angels, legions of locusts
Seven vials, her solemn daggers
[lyrics: Albert Bell / Music: Forsaken]
Crimson tears summon me to the eclipse of my death
For the reckoning of my sins I shall pledge
A black veil of emotionless silence begs to clothe me
Through the halls of spiritual existence
I crawl on this journey
On wings of fire, the call of judgement rides
In the chalise of eternal void I seek to hide
Into the Infinite abyss of darkness I am to sleep
In mourning for the last straws of life, I weep
Desolate, I pray for the dawning sun
The throne of light remains concealed
Alone, tied in these chains of Solitude
I cannot Feel
[Chorus]
Where angels have fallen
My wailing soul is laid to rest
The tombstone is chosen
A cauldron for my new quest
What is this empty shell withered by the winter rains?
Not one drop of drying blood, nor the pleasure of pain
Beyond my grave I hear the dying fall
To their lifless souls I call
I wait for agonized centuries to no avail
An infernal sleep that revives my claim
In death, I died, where no white saviour came
Betrayed by the thousand year faith
Embalmed in this forbidden dream
Solitary I shudder in the chill of stillness
My body still yearns for its bloodstream
...And yet I call His name this last time
[Chorus]
Where angels have fallen
My wailing soul is laid to rest
The tombstone is chosen
Screams of oblivion shadow the sun
The breed of Tartarus
Slayer of Balaam descends
Cast down to the snake wreathed margins of Sheol
Animating in subterfuge
Like the hound that bestrides the Witch of Endor
You roam the bottomless pit of Hades
You exult at the moans of a 1000 whores
Trading their souls for torment and gore
Forsaking virtue for decadence
Their sunken eyes wide with greed
They worship your deceit crawling at your feet
Vengeance is your father
Slander, your bride
We delight at the misfortune of one another
Our sins, your pride
Your hands carved the annihilation of Hiroshima
You danced on the graves of the dead at Srebrenica
Your voice echoed from the blazing guns at Vladivostok
The sheep who cradle final solutions; your flock
For 40 days you mocked the Redeemer
Yet your enthronement shall never be fulfilled
For while we the weak and pitiful succumb and falter
He shall stand forever supreme and tall
Vengeance is your father
Slander, your bride
We delight at the misfortune of each other
With the snow fallen thick
And bonfires alit
And shooting stars portents of rips
I ascended to spur
A mere glimpse or murmur
From her precious celestial lips
Be it sun to your moon
Be it moon to your sun
Together we promised to come
With a turn of the screw
And a slip of the tongue
We eclipsed one another undone
Through the mists, through the woods
With the night-wraiths Ive stood
Atop murderous peaks calling you
On storm-lashed beachheads
Where the fishermen dread
The things your bewitchments accrue
Those deep creatures bring
Her cut diamond rings
A girl with a pearl necklace her
Advancing in fevers
Tsunamis and myrrh
Will she wreak bloody vengeance or purr?
Or will she burn?
She lights the skies
Dressed in silver scales plucked from the ocean
To spite her thighs
That Lucifer snuck inside
And with his pride
Enclaves were upgraded to Goshen
So paradise
Could shine from out her skirts
I adorn myself at dusk
With ornaments to close the noose
A kiss as red as blood and cold as hell
My body glows with lust
Anaemic as the flag of truce
I raised at dawn to catch you in my spell
With every twist I cannot resist her
Fertile female mind control
This wanton witch, white-rapids sister
To whom I pour my wine and soul
And here we go again!
From a corpse of black pews
Where the moon was drawn through
Like a sword through a Gordian knot
She descended to me
Claiming swift victory
Over the heart I had near-soon forgot
With every kiss this huntress whispered:
Yield to my sweet embrace
One night of bliss. I could not dismiss her
Once her beauty shot me a darker face
You mesmerise my soul Dalliana
[Lead: Holm/Persson]
The truth of god - a terror for the weak
Within chaos will rise to reign
Behold the future of this disordered will
Your fate is in his hand of rage
Seeds of harmony - mankind
The rage of harmony - mankind
Face the truth of god - face his war
Annihilate the weak - annihilate the weak
He's deranged and you're the lost ones
Face the truth of god
Emptiness suffocate so embrace the icons
Salvations of your sins gave birth to decay
The harmony is your own - you embrace the lies
To erase the pain to be lost in harmony
Seeds of harmony - mankind
The rage of harmony - mankind
[Lead: Persson]
Consumed by seductive prophecies
Kiss the spoils of empty faces
Bury yourself within his prophecies
Fit with your god and die with his lies
Behold the future of mankind in disorder
Your fate is in his hands of rage
Seeds of harmony - mankind
The rage of harmony - mankind
Face the truth of god - face his war
Annihilate the weak - annihilate the weak
He's deranged and you're the lost ones
Face the truth of god
Unscathed by the scourges of the ages
Scrying through the navel of the earth
Regaling the enlightened by the gift of his aegis
He journeys at will through the parallax between life and
death
He beacons the passage to the ivory throne
He is the clavicle to the singular truth etched in stone
He has wept while the destroyer rejoiced at the fall of
man at Babylon
But dreams of the triumphant return of God holding the
head of Tyrus at Eschaton
He is the sage; discarded and ridiculed by man
His words resound to our inescapable end
We have scorned his warnings and pitied his ways
His revelational sight cannot hinder our perpetual daze
The cleansing of winds of endtime draw ever so closer
The Valley of Megiddo will soon be his abode
The aftermath's quietude caresses his being
For he knows that the virtuous have been spared from he
"Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a
furnace...But for you who revere my name,
the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its
wings. And you will go out and leap
like calves released from the stall. Then you will
trample down the wicked; they will be
ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do
these things".
Inside our bodies pale reflections
Spectral shadows witness their contracts
Congealed by the conjunctions
We now see the distortion inside and beyond
Inscriptions of blood written by the sane
Creations, which embrace the insane
Life knows the truth of man's inheritance
But denial confirms betrayal as truth
Dispatched by the conjunction
Dispatched by the equal to man
Dispatched by the conjunction
Dispatched by the ghost of man
Enchained in a parallel between dimensions
Our immaterialized bodies floats in between
Entangled with faceless images from our past
Now we can feel our sorrow against our demise
I am one with the soulshade
[Lead: Persson]
[Lead: Holm]
Disrupted in life by the unknown - the equal to man
Disrupted in our dark silence - by the ghost of man
Obscurity is no longer dreams we cannot reach
We're the secondary images of a higher presence
A dislocation of the element in life itself
Which has disrupt our souls in their silent journey
Dispatched by the conjunction
Dispatched by the equal to man
Dispatched by the conjunction
Dispatched by the ghost of man
We cannot reach our dreams
We cannot reach our sanity
We're dispatched by insanity
Written by the sane
A captive in the ravines of the streams of
unconsciousness
The maze of illusion where dreams of light and darkness
lie abreast
Imprinted in eternity echoing hopes of timelss years
I live tales of first love imprisoned in a circle of
fears
Oh River God can you rid me from this dragon's kiss?
Measure for measure I do not deserve the sting of this
pleasure
Oh River God can I hide behind the veils of my fate?
My pound of flesh is no reward for my deceitful
treasure
Her whirlwind words, ride on crescent waves
Her lips of ice, shine like silver pale gold
Beyond my reach, she slips like a salmon's leap
She rhymes in lies, I have dealt my dice
chorus 1:
Life is just like a slipstream,
You know just what I mean,
Life is just like a slipstream,
Open your eyes far beyond your dreams
The stone cold face fades like molten wax
A new born light speaks the heat of delight
This is my gift, a worthy prize
I have hunted the horned hunter's disguise.
chorus 2:
Life is just like a slipstream,
With stories that gleam,
You all know their dark secrets,
[Lead: Holm]
Reborn but dead and violent
You'll enslave humanity
Rise, reborn in flesh
To become the dreams of eternity
Determined to see their fall
See them bathe in flames
Advanced to a higher priest
Benumb ice floats in veins
Souls of thousand dead warriors
A cost of betrayal
Wiped out and threatened of existence
Contradictions within our beliefs
Disaster is not inevitable
Starting fires and reeking disease
Deception makes us crawl, makes us bleed
Bound to collapse, fall on our knees
Haunting, torment of torture
You will do as I say
Intervene the commands and obey
Frantic I will intersect your soul
I'm profane, a delusive design
Pleasure of slavery, existent, divine
Drastic measure for those that will fail
Chaos will denote my desire
[Lead: Persson]
Ill repute is my name
Vile, torment and hatred
Blood-thirst seer tremor
Heaven or hell it shall be
Trenchant roar of laughter
Sins existence of time
Water turns to blood
Destruction of paradise
He's to blame I'm your god
Behold my kingdom as I rise
You have seen what I've become
I'm the serpent of lies
Attack in darkest of night
Creatures of the hatred
Respected of those that obey
I'm blessed with the flesh
I'm the future breed I will clone
I have become seer's hatred
Souls of thousand dead warriors
A cost of betrayal
Wiped out and threatened of existence
Contradictions within our beliefs
Disaster is not inevitable
Starting fires and reeking disease
Deception makes us crawl, makes us bleed
We're annihilating everything we've known
Their acts of subjugation were abortive
Subduing what's ours as we bring them to extinction
Those who oppose shall die from endless suffering
You look through my eyes as you contravened me
Those who oppose shall die from endless suffering
Deceiving all who wanted to believe
I should of slit your throat from the beginning
This world we live in will always suffer from everlasting contamination
All who die will go straight to hell along with this fucking disease
All who die will go straight to hell with the disease
Vile creations have shown no sign of remorse
Abominations infesting our possessions
Now pure anguish will be initiated
Those who oppose shall die from endless suffering
Endless torture
These minds immobilize the feared for satisfaction
Misanthropy has become some sort of a trend
This is the beginning of the fucking end
Misanthropy has become a fucking trend
This is the beginning of the fucking end
I am the fucking end
These minds immobilize the feared for satisfaction
Misanthropy has become some sort of a trend
Dehumanized figures impairing this corrupted race
As the condemning slaves beg for their end
Extracting hope from devotion
The effects from which we all suffer
We all die for a reason
Reborn each dawn
Across the morning river dews
And myriad, ever-spring hues of Mibor
Riding the eye of the storm
The bringer of light (stealing the night)
Adversary to the avenging captor
Armored by the crowning faith
Into the womb of the damned, the iniquitous land
Sworn to shield the blood of the Saviour
A gladius of virtue clasped with pride
Lucifer dethroned, Satan writhes and cries
Ending the scourge of the serpent tempter
Rise Metatron Rise!
Receiver of souls
Your tears weighed by the transgressions of man
Awake blessed angel
Child of the fire mist
Forever in hell the legions of legematon shall burn
Reaching for the Sun
The seasons of renewal set sail
Over impervious, cruel winter seas
Farewell to the Chimera of my fantasy
I have sealed the chapter of this servile apostasy
Blood of resurrection please shine upon me
Let me love again, let the ashes of cruel memories die
and rest
Die and rest, please let me love again
Sweet, soft aphrodisiac smother this neophyte's sins
Tame, hallowed angel, reach out for the argonaut's
wings
You speak pendragon's splendour, a willow flower in a
crimson tide
Ablaze with majesty, you sparkle in with winterwild,
the winterwild, so wild
solo:Dan
Supersonic love groove
Come, come my friend there's no need to pretend
Today's beginning sees our sadness end
A Madrigal's ode, that yearns to adore
A Valerian vigil for the eve of ever more
My electric child, spectral woman
Welcome my friend listen to the breeze whisper
Orifice of the equinox of my ambrosia
A Madrigal's ode, that yearns to adore
A Valerian vigil for the eve of Evermore
Evermore
From the pristine emerald seas of autumn sorrows
The giver of life weaves desolate tomorrows
We revere a kindred bond still bleeding
The histories of the hopeful
The ever-last, yet distant paths toward rapture,
A refuge from the baleful
[Chorus]
Sons of Charon - Thou art my kindred veil
Sons of Charon - Journeying beyond the rivers of death
Sons of Charon - Into the thresholds of the unseen
Sons of Charon - Thou art my kindred veil
Fragile petals, fragmented selves,
Deflowered by the gathering of unlight
A cacophony of wonderous lust meandering
In the blazing fires of darkness
Raven dusk wings cast their shadows
All over the triviality of being
An eventide dissolving the emptiness of a haunting consciousness
The fragrant beauty of the unknown
Still kindles the rancour of our rage
Forever brethren in supplication, thee we shall mourn
[Chorus]
Sons of Charon - Thou art my kindred veil
Sons of Charon - Journeying beyond the rivers of death
Sons of Charon - Into the thresholds of the unseen
Presume upon god's misery
Bring forth the majesty
Be emotionally prepared
Arise - sickness - arise...
See birth prevail - embrace him
Welcome the eclipse within
See the invisible walls drenched
With the blood of his eternity
Scream for the beast
See his world reign
Scream for the beast
As he devours your pain
A psychological disease
Your world - his world
Counteracts the will
Your fear - his pleasue
[Lead: Persson]
As you awake from the slumber
Memories fade in darkness
Blinded by invisible walls
You await to embrace the dusk
The victims cries released
By your minds fury
Your lust - his instincts
The beasts paradise - god's hell
Scream for the beast
See his world reign
Scream for the beast
As he devours your pain
[Lead: Holm]
Inseminated by the beast
Your flesh is his to control
The mind has become enslaved
An absurd theatre from which he feeds
No hope - no escape
The trigger in your mind is released
Monstrous desires reveal
The collapse in barriers of sanity
As your victims beg for mercy
Your grim laughter echoes
Sickness is now one with the mind
Brutalized - sodomized - buried
Scream for the beast
See his world reign
Scream for the beast
As he devours your pain
A psychological disease
Completed and fulfilled
Your will has become the machine
Of his pleasure - your pleasure
As silence falls between day and night
With ice swept winds and cold rain they left
Shattered blood over the lost battle
Carnivore beast, a stench of the living
A creation that eats us up from within
Fallen down to scratch non-forgiven
Render your world as their eyes shrivel
Confronted by killing capacity
The throne is their desire of emptiness
Only the fools walk with tenacity towards the cross
Conspiracy, a most to make them fall in trap
That trap will lead to lifetime of slavery
A divine infinity controls the wildfire spreading throughout
So bow...so bow down
Lower your head and welcome the created ones
Made to devour every last standing
Legend speaks of forgiveness of every sin
They are filled with satisfaction
A definition of genocide through subconsciousness
Magi created the weight from the book of damnation
They incinerate souls and leave nothing to remain
Bound of mindless collapse
Join the weak because you've sold your soul
Feel the threat of our extinction
Try to give compliment - status won't be received
The throne is their desire of emptiness
Only the fools walk with tenacity towards the cross
Conspiracy, a most to make them fall in trap
That trap will lead to lifetime of slavery
A divine infinity controls the wildfire spreading throughout
So bow...so bow down
As you slowly die, you can feel as my heart slows down
And to a sudden stop.
My soul evaporates and leaves flesh and bone
Rotting from inside to ashes and a new form takes my place.
[Lead: Holm]
The throne is their desire of emptiness

So bow...so bow down
Lower your head and welcome the created ones
Made to devour every last standing
Legend speaks of forgiveness of every sin
They are filled with satisfaction
A definition of genocide through subconsciousness
Wounded and bleeding, a last effort to rise
Feel the threat of your extinction
A creation that eats us up from within
This is war
This is the end of life
Now all who walk this earth will start to die
We will spend the rest of our lives fighting for authority
And now were approaching a new age of domination
This is war
You will not survive this
Revitalizing the impurities that have faltered over the years of mankind
Will leave all of humanity petrified for the rest of eternity
Approaching a new age of domination is overpowering everyone's faith
Turning their bodies into worthless slaves
Your lies are a purpose for us to kill your kind
You've been formalized into an unknown creation
They were designed to eradicate our lives and to wipeout all thoughts of
ambition
We will spend the rest of our lives fighting for authority
All hope for redemption will be controlled by the leaders of the underworld
We control our own salvation
We will spend the rest of our lives fighting for authority
Harvesting our collective nemesis
Epistemes of doubt on the father of time
He beacons the passage to salvation
The dominion of light
Perpetual metamorphosis
An implacable will
Night falls on interminable aeons of cataclysmic sin
He is the eye of the world
The all-fereseeing truth
Born to vanquish the age of despair
Tetragram of the absolute
Redeeming the cries of smothered histories
The long lost grail of humanity
The aeon of god
The abscondant god - Dominaeon
Confessing my renascent faith
Through the dark forgotten sun
Astral horizons exorcise the lore of the demigod's
"He was despised and rejected by men...a man of
sorrows"
(Isaiah 58:3)
Demiurge; Demigod of deception
Monarch of the apostate pantheon
Genealogy of betrayal
Procreator of damnation
Guardian of the nefarious legion
Transgressor; usurper
Begetting the seed of Cain
Harvesting the souls of the pure
Consorting and blinding the fallen will
Preying on the frailty of the vain
The misguided worship your sins
Parading idols and embracing dogmas of treason
Yet He has come for His forsaken kin
[Behold] the Rising Phoenix - the man of eternal sorrow
He rises above dying embers of battle ravaged lands
Man reborn from the womb of blood thirsty hands
The sword of justice falls on those who murder, maim
and rape
Blood red skies mark the plains where the innocent die
without dignity
The misguided worship your sins
Parading idols and embracing dogmas of treason
Yet He has come for His forsaken kin
The suffering servant - He is the forever-changing
Walls of stone - life encaged
Lunatic voices surrounds
Destroying my sense of humanity
My life is drained by vanity
The calm of the killer glows in my eyes
As the reward for innocence repays
Hear my screams from the silence
My agony - my vicious dreams will be my vengeance
I see my sanity reflected in the stone
Images flashing by like in dreams
Nightmares that will never end
Insanity is approaching
I can feel the sense of it's entity
I have become a child of disgrace
There is no forgiveness in these eyes
I carry their weight in the soil of the end
I hear their lies echo inside my head
I see my sanity reflected in the stone
Images flashing by like in dreams
Nightmares that will never end
Insanity is approaching
I can feel the sense of it's entity
They will hear my cries
From the silence of the stone
They will hear my cries
From the silence of the stone

[Lead: Holm]
I were convicted by invisible laws
I am the victim of their lies
I am murdered - from blood of the murderer
I have become the lunacy of their grace
They behold my death - they see my face
Every day - every minute - I will haunt them
I am the creation of their majestic powers
I am the lunacy behind their dead eyes
They neglect their insanity
I have become the portrait of lunacy
I have come to be their nightmare
Their insanity is here
My entity have had it's vengeance
The vengeance of my entity
The spoken word should have been the truth
Your fate was predicted by my brutality
I was the convict but now you are the encaged
I was the innocent - you buried your guilt in me

Coalescence of darkness and light
Eternal liege primordial seer
Transcending the parallels of being
Purging the usurper the primeval fear
Copious dawns of inertia
Clothe the naked sun
Razing the stillborn horizons
Cosmic atrophy undone
Ominous seasons herald the age of the uspeakable
Comatose dynasties cavort with the damnable
They are parched by the thirst of the temper
Gentiles fall, distraught shadows soar
From the chasm coveting the veil
Eternal night daylight dies
Disconcerting prophecies repel his slumber
An inconsonable deity resumes his despondent journey
Amidst the weeping earth
A bloody lifeless shroud seeks shelter in his palm
The nativity of humanity forever to ponder
Coalescence of darkness and light
Eternal liege primordial seer
Transcending the parallels of being
Purging the usurper the primeval fear
Copious dawns of inertia
Clothe the naked sun
Razing the stillborn horizons

Never ending journeys through visions
A path - the trail of hollow minds
Dark lands beyond the unknown
The silence from nature embrace
Blinded by the science of man
Know your demise - your heritage
Constructed by words of ice
For belief - for trust - for redemption
The blind follow the blind
Enslaved by the flesh
Confront your subconscious truth
See the conduct of the saviours
See the reward of many faces
Know the truth - I am your past
I am the collector of thoughts
You cannot escape me...
The legacy of forsaken souls
A tomb of science - you are bound
You are slaves under the flesh
Slaves under your own minds
You cannot escape the panic
You cannot escape me - I am your mind
Prepare the shattered remnants of your life
Prepare the enslavement of your soul

Words from the deceiver's tongue
Words of ice - spoken by the blind
Follow the lead - follow the blind
Feed my birth - I am the seed of the blind
See your decay - your apathy
See the illusion transform
See the newborn rise
This is the dawn of a new age
Blinded by the science of man
Know your demise - your heritage
Constructed by words of ice
For belief - for trust - for redemption
The blind follow the blind
Enslaved by the flesh
Confront your subconscious truth
See the conduct of the saviours
See the reward of many faces
Know the truth - I am your past
I am the collector of thoughts
You cannot escape me...
I am the ancestor - the god of man
I am the science of man
I am your illusion - your fall
You know me - I am your mind
Thoughts float through my human structure
The destruction of belief reflects in grief
What has become of the creator of individuals
That gave birth to life and commitments
Why reward the mistress of my dreams
With jealousy from my life's broken trust
Broken trusts entangled within - seen darkness
beyond...
...the pride of minds - your grief is for me to behold
Broken trusts entangled within - seen darkness
beyond...
...the pride of minds - your grief is for me to behold
Feeling enclosed by your will of stone
See through me, open this shell to behold
Behold me as your own trust beyond betrayal
Carved as I am in your mind of disbelief
I weep from the misery you won't share
Trust my regrets, burn the logics of thoughts
Betrayal - a virus of individuals
Betrayal - a lockdown within
Disbelief betrayed the connection of minds...
Disbelief betrayed the connection of minds...

Broken and disrupted I fall from known reality
The ground of my strength has perished
Chaos within will see my fall to darkness
It's a grim reality that feeds from the cold
The cold of the blackheart within our souls
Arise my mistress - lead my way to redemption
Betrayal - a virus of individuals
Betrayal - a lockdown within

You're nothing more than the unavailing scum that all of us despise
Extract your fucking skin off to see the fear that your body hides inside
Falsehood will follow forth leading you down the path of eternal despair
I'll show you fucking fear
My surroundings are slowly becoming overthrown by darkness
You try to show no fear towards my tyranny yet you fear yourself
Fear my tyranny and nothing else
This is my tyranny
The weight of my power is on your shoulders
Your lives are in the palm of my hand
This is my tyranny
Look into my eyes
I'll make sure you're fucking dead
I've altered into the highest being yet your eyes still cannot believe that
I control this tyranny
I am more than what I claim to be
Deserted in oceans of absence
Where sirens laud wondrous ephemeral souls
We remain moored at the edge
Of the broken sands of time
Transcending the insidious calm
We steer toward the unwalled kingdom of Damear
As our final hour approaches
The hopelessness still draws ever so near
Enthralled by the haunting sighs of Armida
Star of the crescent sands
Our faith ebbs in the seducing beauty of her
impassioned kiss
Frail and bare, our sanity abates
The essence of meaning escapes us
Our dreams sear and die
In the embrace of the hollow sun
Our solicitude prejudiced
Our hunger abounds
The days of pain still linger
The suffering does not subside
Piety and ebullience eclipsed
The bleakness abounds
Dystopia ruptures our hypnotic slumber
Where the doom is our only trusted companion and guide
Enchanted by the charms of the unknowable
A blackened darkness falls into the bliss of our heart
The bells of death shall toll, a caress of dolefulness stills our mind
Endlessly we shed our tears usurping a prophetic fate
With frailty we abscond our fears,
A never healing wound that plagues...plagues
Human existence shall vanish, corpses, the vision to see
The virtues of sanctity will perish, time for judgement day shall be
One fatal sign as the scriptures say
That in every unblemished land
Graveyards shall breed by misfortunes and
The dead shall follow that claim
[Chorus]
All is accomplished, everything is gone
When all is accomplished
The seeds of happiness are lost
Redeemed into madness, must innocence be guilty too?
A shroud stained with evil, woven by the hand of doom
Their souls plead for sanctuary, closed for years in this mortuary
Their cry turns to damnation, relentless is their frustration
Exiled from the final seal, in glory where the saved heal
In pandemonium the evil shall grieve, the torture will never cease
Think of the ones who have lost their sould, no testimony
Have no pity for my sinful woe, for I'm the one to be
Exempted from eternal life, forged in heresy
The depths of distress are shackled by the throes of misery
Aidenn Falls, Chaos' Son Rises Through the Gates of
Eternal Fire
He Satiates Our Lust and Nurtures Our Primeval Desires
Inscribing Our Finality Through Spiritual Cataclysm
Consecrating Our Vanity; Binding Us to Gods of
Materialism
Chorus:
We Spiral Through the Labyrinthine Madness
Truth Subsides in the Nepethe of False Shamans
Anaesthisized and Subdued
Destined to an Opaque Reality
The Righteous Path Obscured
We Wage Our Atonement for a Beguiling Divinity
Chorus
We Spiral Through the Labyrinthine Madness
Truth Subsides in the Nepethe of False Shamans
He Rests on the Ashes of a Dying World
Torture, Fight, endless cries
Affliction, terminate, burn
Flames, mangled, hell spawn,
Frenzy, feast, slither
Scald, rise, fear
Destruction
Terminate the structure - speaker of sin
Prejudice bender of words
Premonition prehistoric figure - this time is war
Broken the final unwritten rule - it's time to put an end to it all
Ending all our misery - erased for all time to come
This time it is war
Sick of it all
Torture, fight, endless cries
You will die the thousand deaths
Worldwide plague roar
Destructor of our planet
The icons they will burn
I will make your life worse
I'm the crusader
You wish that you never were born
The history becomes the forgotten
And so will god
Crushing the demon placed in their heads
The slaughter of our franticness - your days are count-dead
Making sure that nothing survives
This will make me whole
Deception has a grave for itself
Battle results in dust
Torture, fight, endless, cries
Affliction, terminate, burn
Flames, mangled
Controlling that it turns out right
Telling which path to choose
Foul and slander years has passed
The dreary days are now over
Put the faith in yourselves
You are the masters of your own destiny
The curse has been lifted
Our endurance has become reality
God has been convicted
Justice has been served
A caged existence, a war in silence
Two minds counteracting, trading my fear
The void of my essence, a silence within
Broken, seduced by the profile they hold
The secrets within my bloodline
My pride - my dominion controlled
Within the circles of sanity
Insanity becomes justice - no remorse
He who knows the truth, my heart's black god
The predator in thought, my mentor in reality
The sweet taste of blood, the night's sacrifice
I feel your tears transparent on my skin
You are the first to embrace my sanity
The secrets within my bloodline
My pride - my suicidal servant
Within the circles of insanity
Sanity becomes remorse - no justice
Justify - my pride...
I was devoured and sodomized
The kisses embraced me
You changed me... sealed me...
The truth's inheritance... justified... justified...
Abused and isolated - buried alive
Yearning for my freedom
You changed me... sealed me...
The truth's inheritance... justified... justified...
Abused and isolated - buried alive
Yearning for my freedom
You changed me... sealed me...
The truth's inheritance... justified... justified...
The blight innocence of my heart
Knowledge of the broken seals
Denial has become my alliance
Truth is NOT remorse, just facts
The secrets within my bloodline
My pride - rapture is my profile
Circles of insanity entangle my sanity
My pride is justice - no remorse
He who knows the truth, my hearts black god
The predator in thought, my mentor in reality
The mentor of my obscurity
The fusion of thoughts
Ignorance of the symbolic
Collectors of the damned
Tormented by saviours
Sloth, wrath, lust, pride, greed, envy, gluttony
Know them before they'll know you
Prepare your journey
Abducted by seductive lies
Your pain will be theres
Haunt them or become the haunted...
Master the secrets
Attract the opposite
Extract your weakness
Immortal you will reign
Haunt them or become the haunted...
See them before they see you - punish them...
The slayer of the cross
Epic measures divine
Profit will form the deeds
Experience yourself as god
Haunt them... punish them...
Haunt them... punish them...
The snare around the neck
The foul laughs of the wicked
Entangled in the mist
Now - who will reign?
Sloth, wrath, lust, pride, greed, envy, gluttony
Icons prepared for war
The mastermind so divine
Born in chaos and despair
Reality gave birth to the beast
Haunt them or become the haunted...
See them before they see you - punish them...
Now in control, claim the world
Rip their minds apart
Hear them scream - begging for mercy
Show your gratitude - hear them scream
reality has... died...
my way of life ending in decay
new eras of the wind is blowing
clearing everything in its path
creating new world order
plague on a fictive level still haunts
computerized levels in the new world
taken from the mind of the insane
rose of orphans to fuel the creation
a creation that is a ghost in mind
miles and miles of the dead but alive
I wander in the desert landscape,
Formed by the hands of evil
I hear the bell chime,
Fed to the massive machinery,
That keeps forcing
Soft walls encaged within ourselves
The coming of a new world
Who are we?
Another mouth to feed
Are we to walk the same path?
Yanked from the machine,
Which leeps me alive
No air, no sight
Terminated, control denied
Gave up without a fight
You colony of my disease
I wander in the destert landscape,
Formed by the hands of evil
I hear the bell chime,
Ther time has come
Fed to the massive machinery,
That keeps forcing
Soft walls encaged within ourselves
You make me tremble
My complex from
My disfigured body shaped
I have drunk the blood
I have eaten the flesh
I wonder in the desert landscape,
Formed by the hands of evil
I hear the bell chime,
Ther time has come
Fed to the massive machinery,
That keeps forcing
Vertigo
I have lived the illusion of wisdom and tasted the joys
of love
I have sailed seas of hedonism and travelled the path
of mystic rites
Ride with me and learn the songs of the nameless Shaman
An Aenead through the dawn of the golden sun
[chorus:]
A celebration of existence,
The guiding light,
Vertigoes of tomorrow,
Embrace the molten night.
Drink the sweet splendour
The wine of youth
Vertigoes of yesterday
Lie to the truth
Saddened by tides of the sanctified pain
I lick the wounds of my crucified past
Shed the skin of your forgotten self
Join me, worship, the verbose deity
Repeat chorus.
Rubicons of rage holler inside me
Shades of grey laughter kiss the tears of my eyes
Stone faces in unseen places, whisper desert chants
On the serpent's wing I write songs of desire
Brazen fires quiescent in silence [x2]
The wombs of remembrance wither in flames
Moons of sorrow eclipsed by moments of mirth
Swallowed in darkness, clouded by the cleansing opiate
I feel the wonder, the maze of happiness
Brazen fires quiescent in silence [x2]
As I fly through the cavalcades of null emotion
Beneath this dream lies the emptiness of reality
[solo:Dan]
As I fly through the cavalcades of null emotion
Desolation of the fool left standing
Devastation of our lives
You messenger with lies
Entered our world of life
Calm seas and no wind
You arrive as a majestic figure
On horseback you ride
No armour or weapon
No weapon except for the words
The master, a deserter from a group
I will never throw my self under you
My beliefs will stay in blood
Blood that has been shed
My story told and carverd in stone
"take my hand" you say
"I`ll show you the light like never before
he will forgive and make things right"
you figure, you creature of death
when you talk I see the serpent`s tounge
the evil in disguise
infiltrating and undermining
taken by surprise
the past is forgotten
buried under stone
all the memories cast as building-stone
reinforced by the words of god
crosses, altars and followers
they spread like a wildfire
making way for infestation by the lies
your way has no end
this holy war has many lives spent
A story made up
Read between the lies
The preacher has no mind of his own
These are the lost souls
On the quest nothing shall stop
My story told and carverd in stone
"take my hand" you say
"I`ll show you the light like never before
he will forgive and make things right"
you figure, you creature of death
when you talk I see the serpent`s tounge
the evil in disguise
displayed as an object of brutality
tried all the way without success
now only hatred remains
a hate that only blackens my life
maimed of my past
a broken heart, blackend your light
crucifying soul to make your point
pain is all that is left
I have ravaged millenniums of cosmic consciousness
Hyper-realities of a spectral gravitational mass
Canticles of wisdom, an arcane lore of light
Raise your sword to the pentacle of power
Accede to the seduction of this pristine talisman
Sanctify your sins in the shrine of the gravels of the timeless sands
Oracles of equanimity, the gift of alchemy
I am the wizard's exile, a pariah in eternity.
chorus:
The spirit of man writhes in veneration,
Amulets contrived with blood order sacrifice and adulation,
What is your god?
The sage of coercion?
The sedition of belief,
Compromised by treason.
By treason...
In yer face motherfucker!
Drown your fears, pledge your soul, cross the rubicon.
Where shall your condemned spirit hide? do you think it dies?
Or are these absurd lies? Obey ancient solomon's writ
See the light, of this esoteric dawn
Have you the will to be free? Can't you see? Is it you or me?
Sunrise of my universal sight
Have you seen the earth's revelation?
The eyes of tomorrow wonder in exhilaration
Are you the one to withstand corporeal essence?
Difference of living alone
A way of life that soon will show
Seen it from the start
They will make the stone melt and we will rot
Misleading to wipe the race away
Not knowing the next to fall
A messenger with the written word
Feel it, fell as it swallows you whole
The divine flames caress
The flames will lead the way
Ending you without a breath
Wrapped with elegance
The printed manifest will make the start
Every word written, everything I say
Trying to get back to what seems normal
Ending fast and in decay, no light I hardly see
Working to prove that I`m right
Sending the celestial gift to the first one to go
This time a deadly way out
Would there be any to follow:?
Yes there will
Feel it, fell as it swallows you whole
The divine flames caress
The flames will lead the way
Ending you without a breath
Now listen what I have to say
Advance, my first weapon of choice
A step ahead, I make no mistakes:
Take note of everything happened
My manifest is taking form
Simplicity, this makes them fall
See what you turned this into
Going higher in the hierachy
This time will hurt
Leaving a trace behind for the puzzle
Confusing factor this will be
I hide in the shadows of lies
Drawn characters has no resemblance
I redefine my craftmanship
Nothing like others
Corpes will be numbered
Sending the final note to the one survived
Telling that this was just a lie
Feel it, fell as it swallows you whole
The divine flames caress
The flames will lead the way
Ending you without a breath
Now listen what I have to say
Advance, my first weapon of choice
