Inflame thy heart
raise the wand
raise the dagger
raise the cup and praise and chant
for this is
the night of the raven
the might of the raven
in the season of night
Inflame thy heart
raise the wand
raise the sword
toll the bell and praise and chant
the path is for consecration
purification
Initiation
in the incense of night
As I stand here in the dead of night
I am embraced by a soft purple light
It is not a christian light but deep and soft
like dark wisdom to the fool
but beware!!!
Like wisdom details come with time
and everything appears so fine
it is no damnation burning up your eyes
where you see god and nothing else
but a soft light
soft like a wise womans cloak
Dark
Deep
Purple
Blue
Drped and flecked with silver tears
I see the lovely temple without fears...
Aedificator mundi carcerem
Contignavisti septem gradibus niteris
Septimo demum lucem aspicis
Look towards the forest
And meet your insignificance
Feel the warmth of the ancient fires
Look towards the forest
There won 't be no tonight
The world dies with her
There won 't be no tonight
She 's long gone
"Love is dead and thou art free
She doth live but dead to thee"
Look toward the raven
As he flies away in the dark
Look toward the night
That took your love away
There won 't be no tonight
The world dies with her
There won 't be no tonight
She 's gone forever
"Love is dead and thou art free

I fall back into pain
With your empty kiss
Beneath this rain
You're still the one I miss
Drown my sorrow
In the colours of your aura
Embalm me with your innocence
And save my soul
The fire burns
But why am I still so cold
I fall back into pain
With your empty kiss
Beneath this rain
Did you fall into that raven night
With sigh and woe and lonely path ?
This song is for the demons
That haunted you in those loveless lonely nights
And for the shadows that stained your soul
For the echoes of your loss
This song is for your forgiveness
For the sadness I knifed in your heart
For the road that lies ahead
With fear and hope, loss and salvation
Did you wake with a sigh and not a smile, did you ?
Did you hear the ravens woe in this exaulted night ?
This very night
This song is for the demons
That haunted me in those loveless lonely nights
And for the shadows that stained my soul
For the echoes of my loss
This song is for my forgiveness
For the sadness you knifed in my heart
For the road that lies ahead
Vast outstretched diamond lakes
in the sky
The mighty stillness of the mountains
Rain will fall - maybe forever
Winds of mercy, I hope
Will take me far from this...
...this desolate place
And I fear your love will fade away
And I fear there's no end to this pain
And I fear your heart has turned away
And I fear I won't see you again
And in the night I often turn to the starres
This diamond lake of tears
And think back
When you and I were one
Under this...
...this desolate sun
And I cry for that broken dream
And I cry for the absence of your love
And I cry for your broken word
And I cry for the loss of your light
in the season of night let it come
that the raven may guard upon thee
"and when pursued by snow, rain, wind
and darkness let it come that I see
with the celestial eyes of bright wisdom"
(- the tibetan book of the dead -)
And I wish your hand were in mine
And I wish that all is not lost
And I hope that whereever you're fine
And I know that I miss you all too much
Why? Why?
Just tell me why?
Why?
I miss you all too much
Why?
Jus tell me why?
Why? Why? Why?
Just tell me why I miss you?
Just tell why?
Just tell why?
Just tell me why I miss you?
I wish upon the stars
My dreams will come through
I leave tonight
Please come... come clean and true
If I'm still here I cannot say
If I'm going... going on or away
Load me perfect time
I wish upon the stars today
I walk through this night
And the path has no light
Starres out of reach
This night alone
And the wind sighs the emptiness
The pain immense
The wish of your nearness
This night alone
There 's no light
And time has but a poisoned knife
Of grief
For me
Forever
For us
Thy fragile hand
Thy tearful black eyes full of sorrow
How I long for your embrace
In these woods
Near the path
This night alone
Heaven waits not for me
And the warm wind caressed me deeply
Gently touched my soul
Made me forget all dark thoughts
Sadness on its way
Sorrow nevermore to stay
I'm the mare in my dreams
I'm the scarred wrist I fear
I'm another life that will fade
Shadows of my haunted soul
The pain that will not end
Come take it all, burn it away
Let the sunshine in again
Stop the loneliness - make it sane
Twist the broken mirror into one
Night falls
Starre shineth
heart broken
wraith blinded
Wind blows
Starres fall
A sadness embrace
Here strolls the blackened sky
With me, myself and I
Lets pretend we'll meet again
Pretend you knew me
Pretend you cared
Lets pretend we once kissed
With compassion
With heartfelt affection
Lets pretend we'll meet again
Lets just, lets just pretend
Pretend you're still... you're still my friend
Lets pretend we'll meet again
Pretend you knew me
Pretend you cared
Lets pretend we once kissed
The world slips away
And the madness dies
In your shining eyes
In the shining of your eyes
The starres and the path have light
The pain goes away for another day
In your shining eyes
Long
I do me wrong
And I do it again
My sorrow rain
My feeling pain
See me through, walk me through
I long
I still long
I long
I long so much away - from me - for me
I long
I still long
Take my lips
Kiss me sweet
Take my feelings
Stop me from sweating fear
My sweet nightmare ends
I long
I still long
I long
I long so much away - from me - for me
She's the wind that shatters
neverending tears
She's the pain within thy heart
Nothingness as I fall
And I'm falling behind empty handed
behind these eyes inflamed
inflamed by darkeness
And empty smiles
She's the tempter of the night
the wildstare in my eye
she's the lie i live by
the shadow in my eyes
And I'm falling god abandoned
Empty handed
with a smile upon my face
In this black cold night
Make me calm
Stop the blood running from my eyes
In my mind
From the places in my mind
When the darkness embraces me
I do not feel alone
When the darkness embraces me
I know I'm going home
In this black cold night
Chase the pain from within my heart
Wipe the blood from my eyes
From the places in my mind
When the darkness embraces me
I do not feel alone
When the sorrow takes me
I'm embracing the darkness alone
Please - take me home
I'm the snake in my own so called paradise
Embracing myself with darkness
My demise
In this black cold night
Make me calm
Stop the blood running from my eyes
In my mind
I'm standing here
Watching the clouds float by
Wondering why the pain never deserted me
The sadness, sorrow, bewilderness that never left
(...the moments of joy I never kept)
I'm flying away..
Holding hands with myself
Sharing life with myself
Reaping the loneliness I've sown
In these fields I've always grown
Digging the blackness from my mind
Standing all alone in the middle of a promised land.
Where is it, where is it, beyond the moon, behind the sun.
Always in the middle, in the middle of nothingness.
Remember, cross the ring of thorns with a pure heart.
Fear not, all true gods carry horns,
they will throw your eyes into the deepest well.
Loose your sight, gain another.
Seek the darkest fear, the deepest pain,
a forgotten secret of every earthly mother.
"Here bigynneth the knyghtes tale unveil".
Every earring, her clothes and more shall fall.
Behold son for it's mystery.
Look, the world is falling with her.
The old man says you're here, you're here at last,
like a mouse you sat midst the circle
surrounded by the thick black smoke.
Always carry the wind of wings.
(NAKKIEL HAS FALLEN)
The moon cries - her tears of light
fall upon the thirsty grass.
To welcome our feet - dancing
on this sacred ground.
Earth licks her dayburnt wounds -
pouring out the sweetest dew,
feeding our hungry eyes with
images of fallen angels.
Seven stones of silver, a crown for you and me.
The lover's words of sin and pleasure
the chains that let us see.
The tree of good and evil, the snakes
that crawls from path to path.
All of them are with us here to whisper
songs of lust and wrath.
Farewell to daylight,
hail to the hallowed night.
Spread out your wings,
the sun is dead and gone.
Only the night will call,
Find your wasteland sharp and cold
beyond the doors of fear and love.
Seek the rose - her tiny leaves - climbing up the walls.
Even her life is taken by winter's night.
When he breathe upon her neck.
Look at her, as she smiles of death -
her body grabbed by icy hands,
any thorn is overruled by night.
For he crawls into the hearts of all.
The eye of the moon is glowing, though...
she is silent, at distance - lonely wolf is howling.
Then... everything is silent.
The cold is sneaking up upon us all.
The sun is gone, like a lonely man...
Now the angels start to fall.
Bloodstained walls - time is melting
Curtains torn apart.
Dark winds leap across the mountains
death is, when life turns into art.
Human
Sleeping heart
Know thyself - the beast you are,
Oh yes, feel, run into your arms.
Take me to the forest
where the gods play silently
under the great branches.
We speak in a whisper
and you take my hand.
You and I under the oak.
Haming gods
take our breath away.
They won't hear us
and we are, forever.
We'll lie in the shadows
the scent of grass.
And I hope to make with a smile
and not a sigh,
[Instrumental]
Cathedrals, towers rising in my heart
A thunder roars deep and quiet.
Making love with the silent rain.
Christ flashes before my eyes with empty face,
he chants the world goodbye.
Christ goodbye... Christ goodbye...
The world has vanished before our eyes.
Horned with staff and cloak,
I approach the world's churchyard.
Grey skies transforming into deep black drops,
as the sun glance upon the holy ground.
The whore of life delicious irresistable, blood red sheet full of lust.
Every man has a dragon heart upon his own dusty shelf
(where) the thunder roars across the heavens.
The deepest chambers laugh -
Dragon king wake up, it's time to take this throne.
Cloven hoof scratch the floor human find your devil door.
Christ goodbye... Christ goodbye...
Gods above, beneath. behind.
And we'll walk the path of fire,
with trees and night above.
Mounting silence,
and my thoughts fall like tears.
Forever and ever, falling with you.
My pilgrim thoughts no longer dance
[Instrumental]
Reality must sleep, for a while.
As I travel beyond our language.
Our personalities are manifestation of spirit.
The stream of eternal life carry us on to the end.
We are rushing oh so fast... worship not.
Observation is creation, creation is reality.
Astral dawn. I shall see the faun
The atheist shall mourn for ever.
The morning is my consciousness.
The world is my eyes.
The world is the lives, of all that lives.
Mankind dies as I close my eyes.
Live and seek your destiny.
Seek the gate within your self,
more I shall not say.
Beware of evil, it has many forms, for it is not one.
Before my silence was past.
Softly on the path you fade,
In shining darkness.
On the path you fade
When the forest grows dark
Cast long shadows on my heart.
Cast long shadows on my heart.
Here midst the flaming,
Near snowing wolf paths
Among the winds that bows
The great trees in their might.
Cast long shadows on my heart.
Cast long shadows on my heart.
Here, softly, on the path you and I
Fade in the shining light.
The moon cries - her tears of light
fall upon the thirsty grass.
To welcome our feet - dancing
on this sacred ground.
Earth licks her dayburnt wounds -
pouring out the sweetest dew,
feeding our hungry eyes with
images of fallen angels.
Seven stones of silver, a crown for you and me.
The lover's words of sin and pleasure
the chains that let us see.
The tree of good and evil, the snakes
that crawls from path to path.
All of them are with us here to whisper
songs of lust and wrath.
Farewell to daylight,
hail to the hallowed night.
Spread out your wings,
the sun is dead and gone.
Only the night will call,
Darkness falls upon my mind
Recalls all the sleepless nights
Shadows of my faceless pain
Feelings of the deep dark rain
Will my sad memories
wash away With my shame?
Will the rain wash away
the demons in my eyes?
Dreams of solitude
that can't be found
Will the rain
wash away?
All I remember
was the pain coming back
The rope choken my neck
nightfall all around
All I remember
was the pain coming back
The rope choken my neck
nightfall all around
Darkness falls upon my mind
Recalls all the sleepless nights
Shadows of my faceless pain
Feelings of the deep dark rain
Will my sad memories
wash away With my shame?
Will the rain wash away
Noir
Tears to fill the despair
dreams to hunt forever
so fill up my cup with emptiness again
and chase those blackenened dreams on
more time
Nevertheless I'm gone
The drone of snow
as i breathe every second of your nearness
so fill my cup with despair again
and dream those blackened dream one
more time
Nevertheless I'm gone
Help me change
change the pain
my sadness never sleeps
I walk the lonely mile
should I forget your face?
and cast away my dreams?
should I walk away?
would I walk forever?
Murky waters live in my eyes
Within my restless nights
Begging the spring rain to fall
Escape these murky waters
Make you remove this blinding pain
And my cliffhigh prison
This is the growing vision
Murky waters
Waves of my crippled heart
That rests beneath, dead and dark
But nothing will ever remove this certain pain
Nothing will ever softend me
Make the spring rain fall Blend these murky waters
Murky waters live in my eyes
Within my restless nights
Begging the spring rain to fall
Escape these murky waters
Make you remove this blinding pain
And my cliffhigh prison
This is the growing vision
Murky waters
(Please) Calm my cries
A sea of hope - a sky of flame
I cry out your name but you're only a dream
a hope to die - always this endless pain
with an endless sigh - so endless sad
so break my curse - let my heart forget
end this dirge - these endless regrets
Lost my way - blackened faith
Lost my love - heart went astray - blackened faith
Lost my love - myself to blame
Lost my way - blackened faith
lost my love - gaining pain
blackened faith - this vacant heart
love astray - and hearts do fall apart
The sun is set and masked night
vailes heavens fayer eyes
what trust is there to a light
that so swift yes
I dream of this candlelight
My pain floats away, just one second
And my thoughts wandering off
To a better brighter place
A place I can rest my mind
I should summon sunlight
I should sleep peacefully
I'm freezingly walking back
To the shadows from which I came
And the silence screamingly speaking to me
Uncovered, unwise, unspoken
One freezing mind of me
I fade away - suffocating
A place I could rest my mind
I could summon sunlight
I could sleep peacefully in
Forgotten memories, resurrected in dreamlike scenarios.
My fate laughs at me, trying to get me to understand.
That its reach is out of my hands.
Cold nightmares haunt my heart. Reflections from the past.
Creeping feelings that never wanted to die.
Why cant I just forget... Everything...
Under the arms of the Mourning Sun, I embrace my fate.
My fate, my death, My destiny, one moment of despair.
Blind surroundings, who do not understand.
What hides under the surface, distrusting fools.
However, it still makes no difference.
My world will always look like this.
Memories resurrected, memories that stabs in my heart.
However, it is time to say goodbye. Goodbye...
Under the arms of the Mourning Sun, I embrace my fate.
Stumbling through narrow paths.
Afraid of what will come next.
As the darkness closes in I start to run.
What have I done to deserve this neverending hunt?
I will never be able to return home.
My existence is shattered.
As I stop to gasp for air, I wonder...
Wonder when my final call might come.
And if its really worth escaping from.
Im so tired...
Between trees and stones.
On stale paths, beneath my reality.
It´s like I lost the key to my mind.
I can no longer control myself.
No more running!
I will fight my demons right here.
Dear child, through horrors and fright you willfade.
Fade to distant worlds and distant lives.
As you lose your suffering, theres nothing more to believe in.
Your belief to this day has been life.
Now my belief will fill your soul with death.
Wind torn, naked trees
Never-ending fall
I am slowly fading away
Ashes to ashes
To dust we become
Between life and death
Loneliness and sorrow
I am gasping for air
Wondering what the voices are whispering
Ashes to ashes
A memory we become
Love and time borrowed
Time for confession
My life was a moment in time
When our loved ones are no longer here
Ashes to ashes
All the things I did wrong
I pray for a father to forgive
For this providence I long
Will I reach out forever?
Behold the golden tower
of our saviour's church
Reaching up unto the every grey
Our hope knows not death
Numb to i's bated breath
We may dream of a world
With no sins for ghosts to forgive
Yet in unwilling eyes
I crave to see God arise!
Behold the golden tower
of our saviour's church
Reaching up unto the ever grey
Our hope knows not death...
...Until it too draws a final breath
We must break and crack all bone
Trying to hold up
the continents he built
Man must bear the task alone
Like a faithless I weep
Like an old man in his final, filthy bed
What love was ever mine to keep?
Over what do the trees stand dead?
Brave little flame
I really saw you below the oak
Whilst wondering to thy name
Your dance plumed the fires of your cloak
The litany of rain upon an earthless coffin...
Like a stranger on the path
Like a lonely man that lingers
What dark creature will reveal its wrath?
To what do trees point barren fingers?
Silent little flame
Was it really you before my face?
Why burden me with such a shame
Forever your ghost to chase?
Soon to wake, so weary, so old
Another faceless October mourn
A night torn by time
Spent sitting deathless
Amongst languished graves
Plagued by a lifetime
Destined to float homeless
Upon murky waters.
Desperately wondering
What to name the conspiracy...
...Where man has no part,
Between dirt and sun
Between worm and woeful star
Burning from afar.
I remember last winter
seeking comfort in the wine offered from your neck
I remember last winter
A lustful bond, both ship and wreck.
Under damp death of day to fall
Forever's gloomy ocean to sail
I foresee the coming winter
Seeking comfort in unwilling skin
I foresee the coming winter
Share... Into the night...
As a winter turns bright...
Falling leaves...
divided for a treasures deed...
Looking... Only too dawn...
For a pale night`s gone...
Silently braced...
Towards death`s all grace...
Inside the forest of insomnia...
The dystopian nightmare shall end...
Stars... lights the road...
To our destiny`s code
Quietly proceed...
To the shadows of my path...
Shallow... Cliffs of consience...
Arising from hell...
The abyss...
Awaits our call to begin the sleep...
Inside the forest of insomnia...
The dystopian nightmare shall end...
Asleep... In the fores of insomnia...
Never to awake...
Falling down...
Along the rocks of death...
Cursed... By the one...
And not the heavenly son...
Broken down...
Inside me I am now dead...
Inside the forest of insomnia...
The night sky is ever still as
silence descends, the four winds
becoming one caressing my
naked body, and as you watch
the branches bend,
revealing all of you.
Long lost, but never forgotten.
Will you meet me at the lake
where the water calms my fear?
Will you once more fall in love
and light in me your flame?
Come to me once more,
and I shall know peace and at last be free.
The shattered path before my
heavy feet, leading me inward
to this broken temple of love,
lust and creation, resting here
whilst heeding the call.
We now lay under the moonlit sky
in the shadows of the past,
and as we become one the stars
kneel down, whispering poetry
of this withering moment.
The falling leaves weaving
a blanket, underneath it
the innermost truth,
feeding the sands of time,
stilling it's hunger
while we quench our thirst.
Taking our place among forever,
remembered only by two.
Now closing our eyes to see,
changing our hearts to feel,
sealing our lips to hear.
The call of the raven moon,
laying us to rest.
Your skin like silver
in the night, your face like a poem without words,
Your touch was the sun in my heart,
and my heart was found by you.
And as the worlds begins to wake
so falls the last petal,
and at all things end we must go
our separate ways into the night,
always alone because
I couldn't save you.
