I'm never gonna understand this.
I'm never gonna let it be.
I just can't understand this aged plan. It's obsolete.
How could you recognize and cherish hysteric fairy tales.
They've come to life. Now sit by and listen...
the whole world wails.
I feel as though I've been abducted,
or maybe I am just misplaced,
As I watch these rash hysterics lay to waste the human race.
Just ask them if the sky will open and save us from the truth.
They say that they'd leave today
just without, without you.
Is this one big joke?
I can only hope.
Say your prayers, they're the final punchline.
I don't see the love
below or above.
I see you're scared well
I feel fine.
Oh please believe I'm doing just fine.
For what's deceased I shall never grieve.
Just let your faith die.
I feel I have been abandoned.
I alone seem to see disgrace
as I watch these mad dogmatics govern our entire race.
Don't tell them you can walk on water or they may drink your blood.
Why live for pain, in the name
the name of, name of love?
I can only hope
this is in one big joke
with your prayers as the final punch line.
How is it divine
when it's flawed design?
Fill the cracks with faith I can't find.
Screaming for pure love
you venerate
delusion based in hate
Bleeding from pure love
for this I pray:

Tarot strewn across the floor
fate creeps under the creaking door
say farewell to the salad days
arms held out for the needle haze
scars, scars start to show
but don't, don't despair for the shame I know
Bible for the love and damned
religion for the pagan man
faith and prayer for the chosen few
mystic shades of violent hue
blood, blood on my cheeks
and the taste
the taste of ash curls across my tongue
Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre
Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn
Rape and pillage the sacred word
heart of darkness crowned and stirred
rite of passage reckless whirl
fruit forbidden ritual swirl
And you, what can you do?
And I, I say there's nothing you can do to stop this
Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre
Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn
Tarot strewn across the floor
fate creeps under the creaking door
say farewell to the salad days
arms held out for the needle haze
scars, scars start to show
but don't, don't despair for the shame I know
Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre

(resurrection .. is for those ..
who didn't get it right - the first time ...)
(eternal salvation suffers from inflation!!)
sinner!
[I.]
say what you need to save your soul
but don't fuck with me - I'm losing control
I'm so tired of this - so sick of you
my tongue is battered & bruised from all these attitudes
(sinner)
so teach me the magic of your sacred poems
conjuring a voice of signs & omens
prophecies guide the breeze
with syllables symbols breed
behind the eyes we climb the vine
to sacrifice our wounded minds
in soft word trances seek insanity
I can't save you because I hate me
[chorus]
the lord is my weapon - I shall shoot pawns
woman is a devil - (your) GOD IS A FRAUD
everyone you knew - everything you've ever done
suffer for your freedom - RISE & OVERCOME
(sinner!)
[II.]
say what you need to save your soul
but leave your religion at the door
we're smoking all of Krsna's weed
I'm sick of these weak anarchies
you see me as a place to make a bruise
but in my reality I'm a slave to the muse
fuck those hypocrites - together we'll fight
the tyranny of squares - SQUIGGLES UNITE
[chorus]
[bridge]
all you sinners
-- and blasphemers!
BURN IN THE PIT!!
SINNER!
BURN!
[chorus]
[outro]
save me
WHY?

Sacrilege
Millions crusading against mocking heresy
Madmen race to enforce the book that answers all our needs
Tongues tuned with razorblades teach us divine misdeeds
Our clerics will kill to make us stay down on our knees
Another war is over
And the pain is almost gone
Each wound has been healing
We're so eager to move on
Tongues tuned with razorblades
Still teach divine misdeeds

Fallen for a guy,
Fell down from the sky
Halo round his head
Feathers in our bed
In our bed, in our bed
Fallen for a guy,
Fell down from the sky
Halo round his head
Feathers in our bed
In our bed, in our bed
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
Asked if I would try
To leave this all behind
Halo round his head
Dreaming in our bed
In our bed, in our bed
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
And I plead and I pray
And I plead and I pray
And I plead and I pray
And I plead and I pray
And I plead and I pray
And I plead and I pray
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
And I plead and I pray
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
And I plead and I pray

In cold demonic nights
We step out from the shadows
To haunt the halls of gods
A home for the sheep
Sacrilege
Sacrilege
Sacrilege
Sacrilege
We desecrate the holy halls
And piss on the book of lies
We toll the hells of revelation
To condemn the spawn of Christ
Behold the marks of Hell
It s the last that you ll see
This land is still ours
And forever it will be
Sacrilege
Sacrilege
Sacrilege
Sacrilege
Glorious night
For the sons of anger
Sacrilege is done
And hundreds will follow
Sacrilege
Sacrilege
Sacrilege
Sacrilege
Sacrilege

[Instrumental]
[Music: Bergholtz, Svensson]

Farewell repulsive earth upon which I've wandered
Nevermore your grandeur I shall behold
Farewell, farewell oh sun and moon
A new age entered enchanted by its gloom
My bloodstained path concealed by lies
Deceit's door stood wide open and I entered
Welcome, welcome bearer of that midnight lamp
Enter the gates that I for you have unsealed
My bloodstained path concealed by lies
Deceit's door stood wide open and I entered
Lead me, oh frequent dreams of midnight hour
Guide me, to the night's shelter
My midnight lamp burn dim with shame
In heaven the moon is low
Betraying sharer of its secret flame arise and go
Dragging my feet through the heavy mist
Silent whispers from vague shapes emerged,
broke loose and howled
My midnight lamp burn dim with shame
In heaven the moon is low
Betraying sharer of its secret flame arise and go
Lead me, oh frequent dreams of midnight hour
Guide me, to the night's shelter
Come precious daybreak
Deliver me from the claws of merciless sleep
In this the dream I dreamt before

A painfull planet in disguise
on wich I cannot breathe
Blinded by lies of light
alone in despair
Punished by my birth
slaughtered bu my belief
The future is near
and with it a connected fear
Leave your sordid life
and join the dead I know
I am the god of none-divine
Drink my blood, thick of sin
Bound to my opressed soul
Follow my hand
enter mu pandemonium
to an otherwordly pain
Beyound good and evil
we will meet again
Beyound the gates of pain

Thought, closes his mind, fear down deep within
Cold, hands of terror, time, now it begins
Tearing inside, as alive, but entombed
Hands, grasping his throat, choking, starting to drown
Screams, no-one can hear, reality, he's all alone
Tearing inside, as alive, but entombed
Breaking free from the grip, fear, annuled by the light

[Music: Dinsdalle, Svensson]
[Lyrics: Dinsdalle, Svensson]

World in madness, doors shut tight
Blind oppression keeping out the light
Power twisted, throughout years of misuse
Seeds of our feeedom waiting to take root
Buildings grey, as architects minds
Laughing children left far behind
Fields now gone, room only for schools
Learning is none with books mere rules
People in lines afraid to step out
Whisper of tongues, too tied to shout
Ticket to death, reaper at the wheel
Never to stop until we learn how to feel
World in madness, doors broken down
Sight of the wise throwing light all around
Power gives way to freedom of choice

World is spinning, down into decay
Light slowly fading, purple through to grey
Mother crying raindrops, sweet tears
The final judgement, we realize our fears
Children are crying, unborn babies scream
The nightmare we made, has finished off our dream
Oceans are calling, fertile lands now drown
Sun getting nearer, earth scorched black/brown
Smoke rising around us, senses searching for the light
We're loving each other, but now it's too late
Fire blinds our eyes, heat burns our minds

Such a sorrowful scene, this sight for sore eyes
Emaciated bodies, another child dies
A sad symbol of the brotherhood of man
Out of sight out of mind in a faraway land
Begging for a morsel, bowl in hand
While the rich men talk of relief plans
Drawing up agreements of who gets what
But the bowl stays empty and the corpses rot
Such a sorrowful scene, a sight for sore eyes
The weapons pile up, the whole country dies
A sad symbol of the hatred of man
Out of sight out of mind in our own land
Begging for sanity, let reason prevail
The wise men talk, the efforts all fail
They make new agreements of who's got what

Through innocent minds the knife glides in
Cutting the lifeline to sanity
Replacing lives with possessions and greed
Like blind children we search frantically
Our hands claw the air for peace and light
But we're offered just blackness and rage
A new life screams as it takes its first breath
Soon trapped in its ready-made cage
Its hands claw the air for peace and light
Yet it's offered just blackness and rage
Through innocent flesh the knife glides in
Cutting the life-line with ease
Replacing life with the foul stench of death
On the fresh blood they now start to feed
They've taken the earth as they now take the life
Cold concrete replaces warm soil
We sit in the corners, minds twisted with fear

The tide will turn as comes the day with sun.
The weak no more to fear the tyrants gun.
As phoenix rises from his charred burnt pain.
The carrion flight above this blood soaked plain.
The blind who see no fear in dark.
Shout to the deaf who ne'er did hark.
You'd give to us your stolen prize
No more we'll hear your twisted lies.
Too near the edge
We dare not look down.
See a tired mind
Come crashing to the ground.
Behind the mask
I see the naked flesh
The wounds are deep
And jagged as in death.
The river runs on down into the sea
This cleft so cruel that now is carved thru' me.
Look into my eyes, tell me what do you see?
Can you ever tell, what's inside of me?
We changed so much
Yet we really changed not at all.
They always said that pride
Would come before this fall.
We cannot give you what we do not possess.

No less than men yes they were strong,
Determined they traveled on.
Tho' the land against them was
Evil 'midst each step they trod.
Deep into the twisted vine
Branches gnarled by father time.
Against a man whose spirit swayed
From the light to darkest ways.
Time they took to rest awhile
In a place where freedom ran wild.
Life's golden gift was tarnished not
Man's greed and waste here they forgot.
The final climb
To meet whose enemy?
The battle bringing
Death's distorted tragedy.
Now we seek into
This foes dark eyes.
Who was this man?
They sought out to fight.
Battle it was long, for no it never ends
Inside all our souls, spirits that he bends.
Mixing his dark spells, to waver our weak minds

Seen the writing on the wall
Now I'm stronger than before.
All the love you gave to me
You take my pain and set me free.
The sun and moon, the dark defeats
My love is strong, sorrow retreats.
The sun and moon, sweet fantasy
My love is strong, now you let me be.
You came to me when I was poor
Gave me riches sweet and pure.
Touched my soul and gave me peace
In your warmth life's new release.
All the wealth that man has sold
Cannot touch love that's pure gold.
All the winters that war brings

There's a land without delight
were saints immortal were slain
Infinite day expelled by night
and pleasures unite in pain
In this land without delight
thousands of candles glow
within their flame of misty light
my blood will always flow
Drown me in the crimson sky
and utopian disease
The spirit of all life will die
Hail the godless seas
Repeat first
Come burn with me
in the oean so deep
The mirror of our soul
Burn, burn with me
Drown me in the crimson sky
and utopian disease
The chaos of heavens die

Deep in the abyss, for years entombed they have lain
Long through the timeless mists, they are like the ghosts
of the slain
Engulfed by darkness, they have awaited to rise
above all is their laughter, as the world weeps and dies
Through chance after chance, more mistakes are made
Dormant in the wilderness, on our minds they have preyed
Now the cry from the darklands, burns down deep in our
souls
Spirits crying for sanctuary as their evil takes hold
At the hour of the dawn, they eclipsed the sun
from a blackened sky, now both man and beast run
from their shadow no shelter from their anger no peace
From the heavens no mercy, on destruction they feast
Now the land that is left, it is polluted and drained
Trees bear no fruit now, the soil it yields no grain
With the beat of great wings, the wind it rages the earth

On the brink of destruction the world trembles in fear,
The madman is screaming, a crumpled corpse lying near,
The people are fighting for what's left of the mess,
Their minds blown to fragments now blend with the dust.
The corpses are moving, hungry maggots give life,
The brave men of the worl
d have now fought their last fight,
A mothers last scream as in death she brings life,
An hier to the world that now wimpers and dies.
The child is slaughtered as it leaves the womb,

Down the spiral staircase into darkness beyond
an endless web of hopelessness, a forlorn and lonely song
The vultures silent eyeing, for the first meal of the day
The mad ones tortured eyes from insanity never stray
In the dark recesses of the pit, walls are damp and cold
Prisoner stares deranged with fears both new and old
Brain has but one use now, to torment the captives mind
Body void of use now, it is like a vision to the blind
The soul if freed could flee the pit, and walk above the
pain
And once again delight in warm sun and cooling rain
Reality away now, smile glances on sad lips

Echoing, ripping through the silence
tearing the soil off my soul
Silent you are, yet so loud
Beautiful still so violent and harsh
As you bleed so beautifully
I wach in silence and harmony
Fascinated and stunned of the pain you bring
Alone I stand to hear the silence
In a belovwed scream
A scream of a soul so pure but still toxicated
A scream for love in torment and hatred
A scream without beginning or end
Your voice so pure and so sanguin
invocate shadows that haunts me
Poisoned by the silence you bring
Cast me into your inexhaustible well of suffering
As I fall asleep, a delightful deathlike sleep
I dive into your abyss of grief
trying to absorb the beauty in your scream

Like the shadow from Mordor, creeping slowly forward,
Unleashed from it's sanctuary by the devil in man,
The world thrown into torm
ent by their uncarping greed,
We stare into the face of death screaming to be freed.
Their control is complete, we the voiceless have none,
Beaten into defeat by the arm of the strong,
Now the shadow gets darker for they've stolen the sun,
And the sale of our earth has already begun.
Like Durins bane, rising of from the deep,
There is evil at work while the people do sleep,
As they plunder the earth, still we sit back and watch,
Their wrath consumes all that would stand in their path.
G: AT DEATH DOOR
The new day is dawning they start counting the dead,
The hard swollen bellies of the children not fed,
Their land dry and parched still they pray for the rain,
The massacre continous yet again and again.
Year after year the lands ring deaths bell,
The childrens blind eyes have a sad tale to tell,
Their limbs bent and twisted, their kinds hold no spark,
They're crying in vain for no light breaks the dark.
The land holds the hammer but mankind deals the blow,
Economics and pro
fit before compassion we show,
Our excesses waste as the wealthy grow fat,
Rather than give to the needy they'll let the food rot.

Brighter than the golden, warmer than the sun
Lost in depths black murkey, as the warriors spirit gone
The eagle flies with sight so keen, the jewel it hopes to
That is lost and can't be found, search for eternity
Old and wise the guru's pace long held solemnity
The preachers prayers are on deaf ears, myth or reality?
A crying child, no hope to calm, now vain all efforts be
That is lost and can't be found, search for eternity
Crowding every corner, with the prizes of knowledge
Creating lonely wastes, with empty ignorance
Filling time with reason, dismissing wonder endlessly
That is lost and can't be found, search for eternity
The sonata of the whale, music for the sailors dance
Hunter and the hunted, whose paths are crossed by chance
Lovers cries in ecstacy, as one they hope to be
that is lost and can't be found, search for eternity
Me the hightest peaks must see, deepest waters they have
drowned
Four corners of the earth, forever to go round
The empty void, so deep inside, our pain for all to see

Mystic night come encircle me
with your inimitable darkness
Drown me in agony and sombre thoughts
Come fourth your legions of unpurity
I'll bring myself under your domination
Just one of hundred million subjects
in your precious kingdom in the sky
Master of fire, earth, water and wind
Winter... a petrified nature in a frozen world
Silence... listen to the thunderstorm
A new star is born another's burning into oblivion
Frozen thoughts
Harden my soul
lord of north
with the frost as your sword
Just like in the mountains
where the never-melting snor is hiding the scars

Why is life so precious, when living is but shreds
of joy and pain, of loss and gain, of torment and resent
Hanging on a cliff edge, we are clawing for a hold
The weak are pushed, the strong held back, the quiet
cowed by the bold
More rain than sunshine, the warm outdoes the cold
Safety in numbers, but now we're all alone
I'm stretching out my arms now, I'm yearning for your
love
Mist is all around us now, dark shadows fly above.
The cold can kill you, your body keeps me warm
We survey the view now, in the cold light of the dawn
Out on the cliff edge. moss clings so easily

Crawling helpless through my scornful mind
looking upon my inner thoughts
Bless the stars my company in the night
Demoniaced, fettered inshackles of light
I feel rage for the disdainful burning sun
whose light makes me paralysed
Damned to live in the eternal darkness
Please just for once let me bear the sunset
A runaway in a world of sin
Alone I see the spirits fade away
Bless the stars my company in the night
Demoniaced, fetterd in shackles of light
I feel rage for the disdainful burning sun
whose light makes me paralysed
The need for sorrow makes me weaker
Bring death into my heathen heartwhole soul
Unchain the shackles round my neck
Shackles that keep me fettered
Damned to live in eternal darkness
Please just for once let me bear the sunset
Bless the stars my compani in the night
Demoniaced, fettered in shackles of light
Bless the stars my company in the night

Feel the wind slowly approaching
from the deep fiords in the north
Slaying the remains of the fading automn
to reign and vigil earth
As escort knights of the frost
Behind them flocks of ravens
Blessed are those who sail with thee
they'l bring calm to this unsettled world
Dreadfull whispers broke the silence
The living became statues of paleness and ice
on their cheeks flew tears of blood
tears of blood
With lifted swords they rode out from the north
to conquer and desolate light
Born before time in an infatuated darkness so cold
preparing the automn's entombment
And of breeze came storm
angels were captured by clouds so black
At the horizon's edge a rainbow fled
colours fading absorbed by a moon so red
Crying statues of paleness and ice

The new day is dawning they start counting the dead,
The hard swollen bellies of the children not fed,
Their land dry and parched still they pray for the rain,
The massacre continous yet again and again.
Year after year the lands ring deaths bell,
The childrens blind eyes have a sad tale to tell,
Their limbs bent and twisted, their kinds hold no spark,
They're crying in vain for no light breaks the dark.
The land holds the hammer but mankind deals the blow,
Economics and pro
fit before compassion we show,
Our excesses waste as the wealthy grow fat,
Rather than give to the needy they'll let the food rot.

With blatant deception they rape the fields of life,
With brutal destruction enforcing hatred and strife,
They take beauty in their hands yet put back only pain,
Their bigotry and greed has always been the same.
With blind acceptance with swallow all their lies,
Engulfe
d by their hatred we learn only to despise,
They have nothing in their arrogance, their narrow minded stance,

Feel the wind slowly approaching
from the deep fiords in the north
Slaying the remains of the fading automn
to reign and vigil earth
As escort knights of the frost
Behind them flocks of ravens
Blessed are those who sail with thee
they'l bring calm to this unsettled world
Dreadfull whispers broke the silence
The living became statues of paleness and ice
on their cheeks flew tears of blood
tears of blood
With lifted swords they rode out from the north
to conquer and desolate light
Born before time in an infatuated darkness so cold
preparing the automn's entombment
And of breeze came storm
angels were captured by clouds so black
At the horizon's edge a rainbow fled
colours fading absorbed by a moon so red
Crying statues of paleness and ice
crying...
crying...
crying...
crying...
crying...
crying...
Dying in the paleness and ice
[repeat first]

Licked and seduced by cerulean waves
as I travel through millions of coloured skies
To wach and to touch the night that enslaves
and listen to choirs of tormented cries
Take me to the lake of dreams
where future turns to past
Let me taste its bloodred wine
the most intence I've ever seen
Poison me delightful wine of life
my bride in the darkest of the nights
Never again will the night turn to day
I'm lost in the beauty you slay
Lifted on tattered wings through the night
to venomous jaws of darkish delight
Never again will the night turn to day

SPIKE THE RAT
SENSELESS ATTACK
DRENCH THE BLADE IN BLOOD
TERRIFIED AND PARALYZED
UNTIL THE FINAL BLOW
HOWL IN PAIN
BLOOD DOSE STAIN
NO PITY IN EYES OF GREED
SKINNED ALIVE AND LEFT BEHIND
DEAD CARCASS ROTS IN SNOW
MILD AND TAME
BEAT WITH CHAINS
FATES SEALED SMASHED THEIR SKULLS

[Instrumental]
[Music:Bergholtz, Dinsdale]

As he wandered in silverly halls among silent marbles,
Enigmatic sculptures each with different tales to tell,
He touched their hard faces yet soft
Like the mist over a sleeping sea
Their beauty and sorrow was feeding his superior soul
Through a heart of stone no blood will flow,
To cleanse the evil cold as snow
Oh pitiful earth that me inherited
Visions of peace crushed to dust
Without compassion he absored their auras
For his strength to gain,
Nor did he feel for the souls he drained
In hysteria screaming... Triumph oh glorious state of mind
With the silent ones gathered the powers combined
No words will break the shells as they broke them
Fear won't shatter the walls as it shattered them
Through the heart of stone no blood will flow,
To cleanse the evil cold as snow
Without compassion he absored their auras
For his strength to gain,
Nor did he feel for the souls he drained
In hysteria screaming... Triumph oh glorious state of mind
With the silent ones gathered the powers combined
Through the heart of stone no blood will flow,

[Music: Berholtz, Svensson]

[Music: Bergholtz, Dinsdale, Svensson]
[Lyrics taken from Walter De La Mare's "The Green Room"]
Tomorrow waits me at my gates
while all my yesterdays swarm near
And one mouth whines, too late,
too late and one is dumb with fear
Was this the all that life could give
Me, who from cradle hungered on,
body and soul aflame to live,
giving my all and then be gone
Have done with moaning, idiot heart
if it so be that love has wings,
I with my shears will find an art
to still her flutterings
Wrench of that bandage to will I
and show the wimp she's blind indeed
Hot irons shall prove my mastery
She shall not weep but bleed
And when at last I journey where,
all thought of you I must resign
Will the least memory of me be fair
or will you even my ghost malign
I wake and watch when the moon is here,
a shadow tracks me on
And I, darker than my shadow,
fear her fabulous inconsistency
Have done with moaning, idiot heart
if it so be that love has wings,
I with my shears will find an art
to still her flutterings
Your maddening face befools my eyes
Your hand I wake to feel
Lost in deep midnight's black surmise
its touch my veins congeal
And when at last I journey where,
all thought of you I must resign
Will the least memory of me be fair

[Music: Bergholtz, Dinsdale, Svensson]
[Music: Dinsdale, Svensson]
Rise, angel of night, in glamorous pride
And spread thy polluted wings
Destroy the fundamental conditions
For our existence beneath contempt
Feed me with thy blissful tears,
Seduce me in nocturnal rapture
Oh, mannequin of darkness you are my immortal
Penetration in festering flesh so pale
Accompanied by orgiastic screams of ail
Together as one we deceiver the light
A sulphurous triumph for our despite
The souls that were lost will be missed by none
United in an act of endless pleasure
A sinful play of perversity
We enter the secret lotusland
Where light's forever banned
Penetration in festering flesh so pale
Accompanied by orgiastic screams of ail
Together as one we deceiver the light

She arrived in the coldest of winters,
To a slumbering world so white
Naked she came and with eyes so blue,
A monument of beauty she was
The white covered world was peaceful
And she arrived like the mist before dawn
A dreamlike shadeless goddess raised by the frost in the north
But behind her mask of glimmering goodness
A wicked smile appeared
A symbol of darkness in disguise
Sent to haunt the light
She grabbed her sword and rode out in the night
To entice all the living and ravish their lives
Her voice was filled with tenderness
As it echoed throughout the land
Her concupiscence was strong
And lured creatures to their graves
Her heart was made of stone
She was starving for the dead
When day had passes and turned into night
She captured god's angels and fed on their fright
The land she had conquered laid empty and cold
Exhausted with grief their souls were sold
She ripped her mask of glimmering goodness
To unveil her blackened soul
A symbol of darkness in disgust
Sent to crush the light
She grabbed her sword and rode out in the night
To entice all the living and ravish their lives
Her voice was filled with tenderness
As it echoed throughout the land
Her concupiscence was strong...
What peace for me in a star or moon
What solace in nightingale
They tell me of the lost and gone

Gather me courage and gather me strength
to find the infinite source of disdain
To sip its fluid, a bittersweet taste
beyond the candescent vaults of disgrace
Enslaved and weak I worship thee
you are my master you made me meek
Enslaved and weak I worship thee
you are my master, command me a deed
Summon the masses and walk through the fire
Through hypnotic flames of a funeral pyre
Driven by lashes from the hands of a liar
they enter the flames that has built his empire
Enslaved and weak I worship thee
you are my master you made me meek
A witness to an act of macabre obscenities
standing surrounded by a crowd of imbecility
Their hope it has left they realize they've failed
soon they'll be crawling the path of the nailed
Enslaved and weak I worship thee
you are my master you made me meek
Summon the masses and walk through the fire
Through hypnotic flames of a funeral pyre
Driven by the lashes of a liar
they enter the flames that has built his empire
The symbol of light will serve as my knife
to slit my veins and let out my life
to release my cage trapped soul

Dictator of the worshipped sky,
Risen from her velvet grave
Encaged in the artwork drawn by the mad
Dethroned, enslaved
She descended from scarlet heavens
Filled with splendour and pride
Unknowing of her grievous future
More malign than the plague
She fell through the silence,
Enwrapped in an arch of blood
Slowly towards the greedy horizon,
Prepared to feast on her light
Fenceless and abandoned, enfeebled by time
Captured and devoured, entangled and drowned
She fell through the silence,
Enwrapped in an arch of blood
Slowly towards the greedy horizon,
Prepared to feast on her light
The terrifying last painting of a world in fright
A single piece of a great collection
Decorating the walls of the ultimate gallery,
A gallery of nefarious art
She descended...
She fell through the silence...
Burn the bleeding,

I've disarmed the weak for the lies to show
I've fought without mercy I've slain with my sword
I've stricken upon the ones who seek
And blood ahs been she'd from the souls so meek
For my paradise was burned and my visions encaged
Soulless and dying, a slave to my rage
I've beared the relic for the stars to touch,
To envy the gods and cut through the skies
I've embraced what disgusts me from behind my facade,
Completing the task from behind my mask
For my paradise was burned and my visions encaged
Soulless and dying, a shame to my race
Fear is the strongest dictator, ruler and king of all when set free
Infected me with this strange disease
Heartbroken fallen apart
Who will help me blind them,
Nine eyes of twilight don't fail to see
With whom shall I put the observing to rest
With whom tell me...
Nine eyes of dreaded twilight, drain me my might
Nine eyes of dreaded twilight, feed on my fright
I'm the monsters in the seas you sail
I'm the torment in your mind so frail
I'm the plague that ravage your lands,
Salvation out of hand
For my paradise was burned and my visions encaged
Soulless and dying, a slave to my rage
Fear is the strongest dictator, ruler and king of all when set free
Infected me with this strange disease
Heartbroken fallen apart
Who will help me blind them,
Nine eyes of twilight don't fail to see
With whom shall I put the observing to rest
With whom tell me...
Nine eyes of dreaded twilight, drain me my might

In a hamlet far away with Christians
lives an old man so wise
with power so strong.
He has seen kingdoms fall and rise.
Then came the strong men from the north
with only one thing on their minds:
Kill, rob, rape and burn.
When he looked into the Crystal ball,
he wondered why.
He knew this freedom was going to fall
and build flames up to the sky.
These people live in peace
with happiness and freedom.
The children play together
and love is a natural thing.
Sacrilege. Sacrilege. Sacrilege. Sacrilege.
The savages from the north with swords,
hungry for Christian treasures.
Gold and silver, women bodies and blood
just for the sake of pleasure.
The old man so wise,
killed a beast - sacrifice
and prayed to his idol:
Blow away this nightmare.
A blaze, a voice:
You evil, forever I make you blind!
Return to hell!
You evil, forever I take your mind!
These people live in peace
with happiness and freedom.
The children play together

Beyond the dark dawn of time
Scriptures we don't understand
Walls of fear in the dim
Testimonys in the sand
The dark power awake
The ancient superior
A sacrifice to the sun
The feast for the gods has begun
The luxuriant landscpae's forlorn
Sacred ruins in the cave
The inheritance of the scorn
Reigns in this valley of the brave
A veil og mist moving swiftly along the mounrainside
The sanctuary appears abandoned and vulnerable
A call from beyond - There's a sigh
Now the curse will seal your fate
A dead calm sea encloses the place that should not be
And with their eyer wide open
They saw, they knew, they suffered
The pride of heaven and the dark existance

when i was scorned gone in rotten decay
there was no meaning but i found it that way in you
it’s all for you
i worship dear god, oh my precious it’s true
i have damned my existence and i give it all back to you
it’s all for you
rest on the morning that the sun won’t shine
when the end is near we’ll leave the past behind
blessed for the calling is where you’ll find
that you can’t turn back once you cross the line
you won’t wake on the morning when the gods decide
that the alter of man will meet with deaths defiance and
it’s all for you
no hope for the wicked and the undesired
aside this sacrilege is where the weak are admired and
it’s all for you
sacrilege, you crossed the line
you won’t wake on the morning that the sun won’t shine
when the end is near we’ll leave the past behind
blessed for the calling is where you’ll find

Terror strewn across the floor Fate creeps under the creaking door Say farewell to the solid days Arms held out for the needle haze Scars, scars start to show But don't, don't despair for the shame I know
Bible for the loving damned Religion for the pagan man Faith and prayer for the chosen few Mystic shades of violent hues Blood, blood on my cheeks And the taste The taste of ash kills cross my tongue
Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn
Rape and pillage the sacred word Heart of darkness ground and stirred Rite of passage, reckless woe Fruit for being and ritual slow??? And you, what can you do? And I, I say there's nothing you can do to stop this
Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn
Terror strewn across the floor Fate creeps under the creaking door Say farewell to the solid days Arms held out for the needle haze Scars, scars start to show But don't, don't despair for the shame I know
