Love is as good as soma
I wanna crush all bones in you
Cause I've got nothing better to you
Well, I'm no son of Aquarius
I think the world is too small for both of us
[Chorus:]
Hug me till you drug me, honey
Kiss me till I'm in a coma.
Hug me, honey, snuggly bunny,
Love is as good as soma.
[x2]
And your friends and all your sister too
Let the world spin like the lovers do
Let the angels fly free tonight
For the devil's kiss, the deadly snakebite
[Chorus: (x2)]
Love is as good as soma....
While the rest of you are sleeping safe and sound
I'm on the run I'm on the wing
Climb the selling when the walls are falling apart
I'm the one to blame for everything
A substitute for God, a sacred muse
The hell with it, it's just a lame excuse
Everything I ever used I have abused
All I live for is my heaven of high
I'll be there when the sun goes down
Withered Jimsonweed a night on bad speed
This purple haze works in mysterious ways
Wait another day to wash my sins away
In another time, in another place
Blame my cloven hooves - If I sink what does it prove
I'll always will be your prey
Blame my crooked cross - Say I'm your bitter loss
The winds of hell are blowing your way
Dig your own hole and you'll be mine
Until heavens devour
Your very last hour
Blame it on Hell's fire - And on my desires
The skies are crying blood
Give me all your lies - And blame the lord of flies
The face of evil is the face of GOD
In a room with no doors I will loose myself to you
In a room with blackened walls I'm coming trough
In a room in my house you'll be seeing it trough my eyes
It's a perpetual sin, let the ritual begin tonight
It's alright, can't you see
It's ok, she is with me
Like the sand of our time
Clovenhoof
Are you the one they say you are, are you holy to the bone
Have you got faith enough to throw the first stone
Are you my flame when only darkness prevails
Are you my white wale, the hammer for my nails tonight
I'll be your master and I'll be your slave
Until the day that you will dance avidly on my grave
Seems like a lifetime we've been living this lie
But I can't help keep lying when you undress before my eyes
The wings of heaven are descending
The touch of her naked skin's amending
The skies will collide
Only for a little while
And it will take us trough the night
Thank you my angel like belly dancing concubine
Like Cleopatra you're sleeping safe in a royal shrine
Thank you for the blood and tears and for the table dance
Wholeheartedly I thank you dear for our short romance
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)(4:57)
This dole crowner gallows me
As this mere welkin hallowed be
Whereupon I trick and train and tire
To limn my umbered love in fire
Before this noble mare bewrays
As I clearly see it all decays
In debile coil of smoke suspires
Ay our last orison quickens as we
Are drumbling near this poize of free
Quell me maculate slowly dyer
Case my remains with sharpened brier
Atone me to my throes curtail
To dim and dire fields I vail
And my eale's but a slumbering lierThen so lingered here but none
To buckle back what had begun
In molten aeons caged desire
Dared phantasma us much higher
Ceased to milch the clover flower
Neither raindrops nor my lover
Shall restore what has been done
When we're all keeled in freezing sun
(Music: Edlund, Petersson)(Lyrics: Edlund)(4:19)
With a solar knife I split the sky
And walk right in between
To search the answers to every ³why?²
Where I have seen the unseen
I stole the colour of night
To get out of your sight
I am the Visionaire
Follow me if you dare...I count the stars in my hands
And dream myself strong
To watch them twinkle on my command
As once a year in midwinter songs
I stole the colour of night
To get out of your sight
I am the Visionaire
Follow me if you dare...
(Music: Petersson; Lyrics: Edlund)(3:12)
A sharpened shaft shines through morning dew
Drawn out shadows walk on you
Alone I stand to face the day
Tortured by a deathly silent view
Take my hand, please follow me
I was your love and your destiny
Let us over mistcovered mountains go
To a place where our lost souls can be
Not destined to a heaven built of lies and fantasy
We will sail to the empire of ecstasy
Travel through the back of out minds
And soon forever dwell in necromancy
The hall of Gods
Where you belong
If you have my blood
And faith that strong
May my words be engraved in the heart of every Man
Try to understand them as good as you can
"Drink to Lucifer or drink the blood of Christ
All things [are] depending on your own dreamland"
The hall of Gods
Where you belong
If you have my blood
And faith that strong
We've been soaked in acid
Always praised the downfall
The sound of cadent wings
It's a wonder we're standing tall
But in the truth of the morning glory
And the fear in our wishing well
We're on to another story
It's about time we all get out and vote for love
We are white zombies
Chained to our own demise
Decades of sleepwalking
No light's shining in out eyes
We've painted all doors bible black
Wir haben niemals kampflos aufgegeben
If there's light we'll claim it back
Time to clime it back
Instrumental
I've been through all of this a million times before
Seems all my demons got me knocking on hell's door
I know it's too late to regret what I have done
But I still love you like the morning loves the sun
Too far gone to see the light
And I will never ever leave this place alive
Too far gone to see the light
No I will never ever leave this place alive
I guess it's fair to say that this round is on me
Caribbean blue has turned to blackest misery
I've put a velvet cloth on everything we've done
But I still love you like a bullet loves the gun
she shivered, afraid that i would shoot
she`d panic, afraid that i would not
she drank it all right before my eyes
said, be my lucifer, be my lord of flies
i can take all your blasphemy
i can take all your sins
i can end any moment
and let new one begin
she said, do it and do it now
yeah, let all black birds fly again
for all fires that burned before
as hell`s fire, shall burn bright once more
You'd be forgiven for thinking I've got a heart of stone
You'd be forgiven for not picking up the phone
You'd be forgiven for thinking our love isn't true
Did I spend it all on you, did I spend it all on you???
The truth's for sale for just one kiss
And that's how I like it
Yeah, that's how I want it to be
The truth's for sale for just one kiss
You'd be forgiven for not loving me anymore
You'd be forgiven for not opening the door
You'd be forgiven for thinking our love isn't true
Did I spend it all on you, did I spend it all on you???
(Music: Hagel, Sorychta)(Lyrics: Edlund)(5:04)
Within the heart of every Man
This symbol is its deep
A truly all descending power
But unfortunaly still asleep
You may put your hands before your eyes
But its gleam is neverending
How much you turn it inside out
It conceals just understanding
³The five pointed grey star carven
The sign of the Aryan race
The five pointed grey star carven
On the forehead of an evil face²
(Music: Ekstrand, Petersson, Edlund)(Lyrics: Edlund)
If you are trying to interpret me
You're truing to put me down, you'll see
The dreams I have, you do not know
Don't make me the scapegoat on your insipid show
...Then I turn to you and say
"I worship Lucifer"
Friends turned out to be "Never been friends"
Liars don't listen, do not comprehend
Make up great stories, I'm the principal character
Hand in hand with "Evil" and "Sinister"...Then I turn to you and laugh
"I worship Satan"
My dreams were not worth it, I was told
By the people who want me to release what I hold
For all of you I sing this song
If you don't understand, my laughs will last long
...And I shall turn to you and say
"I worship the Devil"
[instrumental]
The warrior went back to Rome
The nomads settled for solid homes
The crusader returned to heathen
The snake searched for garden of Eden
The manikin went back in her cocoon
And NASA flew back to the moon
The great white returned to the coral reef
As the geisha stepped up on a water lily leaf
Everything was like before
And the pharaohs killed the first born son
Good lord Jesus Christ went back to his whore
The whore went back to Babylon
The pope went back on the dole
And Santa flew back to the northpole
Judas went back to Nazareth
And the president back in his jet
The raven flew back to Hades
And the shemales went back to the eighties
The dandy went back to Perth
And the dead went straight back to birth

Nailed to a pleasant sleep
Under the fullmoon light
Calculated ancient knowledge
Of Arab's wise words
I dreamed about a temple
I saw it in my dreams
A temple made of silver
With emeralds above
It is in the wood
Spoken by animal lips
My seal and my epitaph
It is the Sumerian Cry
I visited the temple
In my imaginations it welcomed my
I tried to understand the language
And the sumerian cuneiform
I read about their gods
And in my dreams they spoke to me
They showed me the tablets of fate
Which since a battle belong to themIt is in the wood
Spoken by animal lips
My seal and my epitaph
It is the Sumerian Cry
Then I saw the Ancient Ones
Slumbering in their cave
My dreams and my nightmares
The liers in wait bred my fear
I woke up from my dreams
The night had become day
Highly strung, rigid and struck
I peered through the morning fog
It is in the wood
Spoken by animal lips
My seal and my epitaph
It is the Sumerian Cry

It can't get any colder, no sun left, no light
It makes me even stronger, boosts my will to fight
So much undone
Let's get it on
No moral tells me so, there is no wrong no right
It's all that I do
It's all that I say
It's all that I live for
It's my only way
There's no point in waiting when there is no where or when
Blow it all to pieces and then build it up again
It's understood
So far so good
Start it all over and I'll see you there my friend
Animated junkies trying hard to be insane
With only water in our veins
You seem to think the planets orbit around you
Then it might be only one thing to do (hooo)
Silly cartoon creatures on cotton boulevard
Playing dead just like a retard
Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares go away
And death can wait €˜til another day
So much for suicide - lots of talk but you never tried
A few pills short of a straight line - waking up still feeling fine
A loudpipe duck and a pink rubber Minni Mouse
A delirium trademark in a ?ardhouse
Wish I had your talent for feeling sorry for myself
Wish you dared to jump off that shelf
Lost my mind on a bungyjump on LSD
And in downtown Chicago demons haunted me
Almost drank myself to death in Malaysia
And in a Paris cafe one demon dressed like a geisha
And in Rochester my best friend started to fall
But a demon doctor gave him pills for it all
We were praying to God to forget and forgive
But a candyman spread stardust over Tel-Aviv
Sixshooter , sixshooter
Don't spend it all on me
And the scythemen demons were wearing black capes
Appearing everytime I tried to escape
They were eating raw meat from silver plates
And stomping their feet to the roaring V8
A demon sixshooter in a six-geared car
On the 38th floor in a rotating bar
With all hell's fire and a Vodka Martini
And a roulette hooker in a stolen Lamborghini
Don't spend it all on me
And the demon's fire burned a crooked spoon
In a plastic, fantastic oxygen cocoon
On a pharao trip as Egypt kings
Rotten, embalmed before the fat lady sings
And a red sun rose over a pay clinic
And I would eat more often than three times a week
The healing and soothing myrrh I'll apply
Fight the demons to hell until I fucking die
And the demon smiled as the circle spinned
And in my whisky sour the devil grinned
I was rolling another hundred dollar bill
And cleaning my nose for the ultimate thrill
Sixshooter , sixshooter
Don't spend it all on me
Time stands still with you
The night is ours once again
How many years,
How many million tears before it's only you and me?
When light issues from her deceiving beams,
Even Eve goes up the tree
And eats the forbidden fruit
No love without a prey
Our evil is inherited from our innocence
Our paradise is but a faded picture on the wall
And life's the archangel,
With blackened wings
But in the night
The throne is ours
(Lyrics: Emetic)(4:05)
In the fields of death at an hour of destruction the wind blew cold
A vast field of tombstones and cenotaphs all moisture-stained
As I walked across the field I noticed a human circle formation
Standing at the edge of a yet uncovered grave deep in mourn
ch.:
Buried and forgotten
In the dark and cold
In the moisty ground
Burial at night
Funeral
In the name of the father, the son and the antichrist
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust to reign in death
From the innermost depths of the open sepulcher
I heard a human cry for life and freedom
(ch.)
"I was mortal but I am fiend, I was merciless
My teeth shatter as I speak to you
yet it's not with the chilliness of the night
but this hideousness is insufferable"
(ch.)
That deep, hollow, inhuman voice echoed
Echoed down from the pits of the uncovered grave
The former human voice was now transformed
The former human voice is now the voice of the fiend
(ch.)
bridge:
Behold the vast formations of a funeral in the dark
Behold with fear the signs after a nocturnal funeral

Evil imaginations of a time to come
Dreamly dead - Almost gone
Nocturnal visits from the beyond
I will travel down the Mountain of Doom
At the highest point visible
I behold the sun for the very last time
I see an awful sight with awful beings
As the sun goes down behind the Mountain of Doom
The Mountain of Doom
Has taken my life
Almost there
Trying to seize my mind
Still aware
Of their seek and findI have lost hold of myself
Taken to the extent of my life
Eternal sleep in a dreamworld's coffin
Entombed beneath the Mountain of Doom
The Mountain of Doom
Has taken my life
Almost there
Trying to seize my mind
Still aware
Of their seek and find
Now I'm there
Enjoying my peace of mind
In this lair
Death is what you'll find
The loosers are the winners
The saints are the sinners
The angels in heaven
Keep falling, keep falling
God is no forgiver
He demands and you deliver
The demons in hell
Keep calling, keep calling
Trough the night shall all wash away
All the horrors of the day
And a little angel on my side
Tries to make it all worthwhile
And with a little beauty in my bed
I still wish that I was dead
And the little angel on my side
Takes me on a devil ride
No rose without a thorn
Dead before you're born
A world full of nothing
So keep praying, keep praying
That what lies ahead of us
In the eye of Horus
A new sacred aeon
We'll be obeying, obeying
[instrumental]

Lady Temptress
Lucifer's daughter
Born in my flesh
Arise and be revealed
Unknown for the corrupted minds
She dwells in malignancy
In the distant crypts of your inner self
Where Man of God doesn't seek
Please don't leave me Lady Temptress
Revel in my body Lady Temptress
Lady Temptress
Meet me in my dreams
Trace my dark sides
In the depth of my subconscious
Open the door
To the slumbering sinner
Rule my evil thoughts
And let them all outPlease don't leave me Lady Temptress
Revel in my body Lady Temptress
Lady Temptress
You are the blood of Man
The remedy to hypocrisy
Please stay alive
You keep my desires unlocked
And my desires breed in you
The Lady of temptation
Hails the human nature
Please don't leave me Lady Temptress
Revel in my body Lady Temptress
I beg on my knees
Make love to me one more time
(Lyrics: Emetic)(4:09)
Deep down in the tombs
Dried out and embalmed
Royalties embedded
Locked under a curse
Powers of mortis
Trapped in the talismans
Shaman's evil spells
Await at the door
pre.ch.:
Unbroken silence rests
A universe of unholiness
Pale funeral lilles scents
Narcotic incense detest
ch.:
In the shrines of the kingly dead
Down unlit and illimitable tombsDelving in a mummy grave
In sickening odours
Penetrating magic's locks
Pharao's curse reveiled
Icing winds are blowing
Shuddering the ground
The ancient tomb is crumbling
At a touch on an amulet
(pre.ch.)
(ch.)
We're shards of glass but we're coming to get you
The earth is shaking, the underworld's born anew
It's a cosmic fusion, a dissilusion man
Gather your stuff and get going as fast as you can
It's all that I dream of when I pray to the devils themselves
The dust of Babylon fallen is on somebody else
And in the aeon of hope - A new sun will rise for you
And in the still of the night - The moonchild will watch you too
We're falling to pieces and that's why we're hunting you down
While you're falling from heaven we rise from the underground
No more turning the other cheek, no liers in wait
Waiting is over, the black knights have opened the gates
I am in love with the waking
It is cold but I ain't mistaking
Proud like Mary to be here again
To be here now with my very best friend
Merry go round I'm in love with the waking
And when I disappear
Into the night and out of the fear
Hunting with sword and spear
I am king Lear
Having a love affair
With myself
I rule if you follow
I spit if you swallow
You've been dealt the cards but there's nothing at stake
What is it worth when your limbs begin to shake
King of black hearts in the parliament
A skinny white boy for president
Triumph at hand but still nothing at stake
Are you a swanlake or a nutcracker
A sleeping beauty or a poor slacker
Have you got oil for your glitches
Have you got thread for your stitches
Are you a suit of armour or silk seethrough
Do you think not even bullets can stop you
A snowball that starts avalanches
But have you got bleaching powder for your conscious
However you look at it you loose
Nothing in this fucking world can do you harm
But have you properly installed the fire alarm
Carefully read all prescriptions
Do you believe you're the chosen exception
Are you a flamethrower or a burned out light
A kit kat walk or a dogfight
Are you the water in a glass of Pernod
Or the blood in a heavy Bordeux
However you look at it you loose
Are you gonna tell me now?
there is a time when some of us are healed
there is a time you`re clean and undersealed
there is a time it almost looks like fun
there is a time for the bullet of a gun
no one here drinks water
none of us are sane
if you pretend you`re my daughter
we do it again and again
no one here is praying
`cause no one here is god
and every word we are saying
might as well be put in blood
there is a time when worms revel in me
there is a time for a pigfaced reality
there is a time and it`s usually the afternoon
there is a time and i hope it will be damn soon
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)(3:51)
What heals our snowblind weary eyes
When all stars are slain by fiery skies
And every word upon your spiraling cross
Is but a misled sun, a bitter loss
Inject us out of here
All I asked for was a little love
But from my hands flew the maiden dove
While clouds like cotton snowwhite sheep
Still calm beside their shepherd sleep
Inject us out of here
(Music: Edlund, Sorychta)(Lyrics: Edlund)(5:07)
Come down, slowly
I¹m waiting by your side
Come down, carefully
I¹m waiting by your side
I¹ll grab you when you fall
Down to the waking hours
Silents sweeps as golden corn
Down to the waking hoursHow I wish that I could
Break into your dreams
Do I have the force I need
To break into your dreams
I hold you in my arms
Dimmed by scarlet morning red
I whisper in your ear
³Do you dream of me ?²
You're only but so is the desolate one
You're drowning but so was the first born son
I'll soak you in fire, fill your black holes
And free your soul
Always cold outside
And it's freezing inside
Into the fire we ride
A shortcut out of the white
Until we're stitched to the night
Our faith our light
You're standing still but spinning around the sun
You're flying with your feet still on the ground
You're pray in this world, it's eating you
And that's what I'll do
instrumental
The marriage has gone to my head
The wedding trumpets are dead
Replaced by a static noise
So loud that I can't hear my own voice
Will those signs lead me out of here
Well, just take me somwhere
To the planes where angels sing
Trough the chime and the clattering
For what it's worth the truth might hurt you
There is a little you can do
When shadows fall I will desert you
Then that's what you will do
For what it's worth the truth might hurt you
And with a tear of morning dew...
My temples born anew
Lead me inside
Lead me inside
Lead me inside out of the cold
Let me inside
Feel me inside
When the seed is sown
Our love's dead by dawn
And as the day begins
The sun is soothing my skin
And I am divided
I am divided
For love
I have to say
That all of this time
I waited for someone like you
Your are my dream
Your are my dream
Your are my dream
Hallowed dances upon glorified graves
Twisted minds, blasphemous slaves
Witches and demons are supporting the dead
In worship of who they are lead
Views of midnightly risen stones
Sounds of clattering skulls and bones
Like shadows they cling tight onto trees
Proud of their evilness, they are God's enemies
They are gathered here in the fivepointed star
To close up ritual of a time so far
End what was not ended before
To meet the lord Satan they highly adore
The Dead Boy's Choir whispers through the eternal fire
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)(5:26)
Soothe my skin
My sweetness of soul
Your dream I dreamed
Dear wateringhole
A bride divine
In ruby eyed crown
Deep underneath
Your soft waterdown
I breathe in the fumes
Of oils unfathomed
With glory and pride
I confess myself doomed
You won again
Godly different kind
My air has ceased
To the deepest peace of mindWhat it once ment
Is lost in the end
With profound words
Of just being friends
A timeglass you turned
Of hours getting late
How fatal then
Is all of your hate
I breathe in the fumes
Of oils unfathomed
With glory and pride
I confess myself doomed
You won again
Godly different kind
My air has ceased
To the deepest peace of mind
(Secret Instrumental Track)
Awaiting dawn for a night of unholiness
Awaiting a sign as sacrifice is cast
Bow down to the lord of eternal might
Save us from the second coming of christ
Watching as the virgin writhe in fear
Drain her blood from a gasp in her throat
Set fire to the altar and watch her burn
Unholy buried in an unholy grave
[pre.ch.:]
The blood of the sacrifice seeps into the ground
Crimsoned liquid stains the pentagram
Unholy warriors on an antichrist crusade
The efforts of the unnamed is proved and witnessed
[ch.:]
Walk into the
night without fear
Under the black
sky we immolate
The prevention
of rebirth
Sacrificed blood
stains the earth
Reading scripts from scrolls of parchment
Written in fear with trembling hand
Hebreic spells and arab ecstasy
Black magic curses to mortify mankind
Breath the incense mixed with blood
Fill up the thurible with fresh skin
Approach the altar once again
Lit up the fire and carnage is a fact
[pre.ch.]
[ch.]
[bridge:]
Apotheosis of morbidity
In the sign of the dark and the bounds of the black
Revel in the cursed morbidity
Burning the church and assassinate God
Apotheosis of morbidity
Again we will rise and terrorize
Revel in neurotic virtuosi
Revel in their face and dance on their graves
Always learn from history
To be sure you make the same mistakes again
Dig with bare hands or a silver spoon
But never change the masterplan
The face of god
In velvet black
The skies are full of angel holograms
London bridge is burning down
My fifteen minutes seem like fifteen years
As time goes by we slowly rot away
It happens here and now and everywhere
(Music: Petersson, Edlund)(Lyrics: Edlund, Hannah Stjarnvind)
I was your fear and you were my fate
I wanted you near but I bred your hate
You left me for dead, deep down in the mud
With scars on my head, in my heart and my blood
On my head, in my heart and my blood
On my head, in my heart and my blood
"A caress of stars
A silhouette in the twilight sky
The daybreak sets on silver seas
My name echoes through Crimson hills
On the horizon, where seas meet clouds
A scenery shimmers beyond reality
I glance a world as a recent lit star
A am swallowed by universe"A vacant eye caught the last moonlight
A wish to die to be shining bright
As a star to light your way
To where we are not lead astray
Where we are not lead astray
Where we are not lead astray
"A caress of stars
A silhouette in the twilight sky
The daybreak sets on silver seas
My name echoes through Crimson hills
On the horizon, where seas meet clouds
A scenery shimmers beyond reality
I glance a world as a recent lit star
A am swallowed by universe"
Deep in death
Wrapped in the morning beauty
Comes close my love
My dearest sister and friend
lucy was my first choise - lucy was the one
she was my silent voice - when all was said and done
yeah, lucy was a demon - she did it all my way
she`d give me all her fun - as long as i would pay!!
lucy gave me veil - like shaken crystal clear
when lights were turning pale - then i would still be there
lucy shone is neon - lucy swore she`s mine
and in anothes aeon - i would be the first in line
