AS THE TWILIGHT GAVE BIRTH TO THE NIGHT


As the twilight gave birth to the night
I walked into the forest
The twisted trees clawing at the skies
These are my true domimions
The mist glows red and ablaze the sky
and the funeral wind blows cold
This is where I shall sacrifice
Here I will end my mortal life

Seduced by the October moon
drowning in it's frozen grace
Tempting my nocturnal lusts
Bathing my pale cold face
These dark forests are singing to me
In tongues it cries my name
Bidding me into it's deep dark womb
where my spirit forever shall dwell

And a cold wind of evil
whispers my name in the forest,
I dance with witches and trolls
As the twilight gave birth to the night
I am here... Forever

My burial place will be the mountains,
the forests and the seas
And so my name shall be remembered
for all eternity

And still it cold wind of evil
whispers my name
in the forest as my spirit dance with
witches and trolls
Their hymns are praising me
For I am heir newborn king...
Forever

These dark surroundings are mine,
from smallest slone to the tallest tree
And so I will to be ruler of this night
I will reign in divinity

ENSLAVE THE ASTRAL FORTRESS


The slench in the air
is cold as a winter night
The loss of my inner guest
The fallen star faded away...

Deeper, deeper I sink
into the embrace of sorrow
The winds of liars caresses me
Down here in the crying
valley of the dreamers
Detest and yearning tears me apart

I can see the thousand points of light
up in the burning sky
And I knew: it has to be done...

The salt of anquish
fills my bleeding veins
My heart is pierced by it's falseness

Darkness...
The pride is defeated
once again as I rise
I stand under a flaming sky

Deeper, deeper I sink
in hope to find the fallen star
and the secrets of the northern lights
Aurora Borealis, Stellae Trajectio
take me
Never again...
Nothing forever...

I can see the thousand points of light
up in the burning sky
And I knew: it had to be done...
And it seems like I'm swallowed
by it's mass of oblivion
and forever to be in flames...

THROUGH THE MIDNIGHT SPHERES


Among evil gods I sleep
Their ancient hymns were my dreams
But the vast and cold forest beckons
So I rose with the funeral moon
From my coffin of blackest slone
From the crypts which for aeons
embraced me
Through the portals and into the
frozen night
It's calling for me...

In darkness reborned
Through the midnight spheres I dance
Spreading my wings
Caressing the black infernal night

"From a timeless past I have risen to
rule this kingdom of mine"

The eye of the wolves will guide me
through landscapes of ancient black
I am eternal, I am supreme

I ride the nocturnal winds
Thy cry of ravens will carry me
Forth dimensions unknown by mortals
I am eternal, I am supreme
The nocturnal winds are mine

I descend into forests long forgotten
The naked trees united in perfect
melancholy
And I saw spirits dancing,
swirling insane
The knowledge revealed to me

In darkness reborned
Through midnight spheres I dance
Spreading my wings
In the forest of pernicious black

Night is eternal
The sun is forever consumed
Embraced by the beautiful blackness
So sombre, so pure...

THE ECLIPSE OF INFERNAL STORMS


The gate rose before him
In stood there open wide
A bloodstained portal of might
His travel to the land unknown

I awakened from this dismal dream
the same as thousand times before
This sight is so impure
So filled with mourning and with grace
It cries a message to me
of which I cannot ever grip
A man and this enermous gate
with his name on it written in blood...

I fall to me kness
Spelling my name
to be unleashed, and ever blessed
The great beyond lies open in front of me

I could see the gate
rise before my eyes
With a freezing smile
I entered the reign of death
I could see the truth
like an open book
And then I knew
what I had become

I awakened from the dismal dream
The threshold to the dead
I've passed this enormous gate
with my name on it written in blood...

In blood... I fall to me knees
Spelling my name
to be unleashed, and ever blessed
The great beyond lies open in front of me

EMERGING FROM HER WEEPINGS


Crawling in grief
Across the distant fields
I am the desire of which engrawed thee...

The formation was set
An enormous storm arose
As the thirleenth night ablazed
with it's web of obscurity
Oh you glorious blackened,
infernal screaming belle
Reveal the name,
unleash the path of bereavement

I have found the key, the key to the
ancient flame
Awaiting the sight to dwell in mournful
immortality
Like a breeze I levetate, only lead by the
owl's wisdom
We followed her misantropic sleep
so majestic and delight

Her weeping - touched me caressed me
Her weeping - screamed and longed for me
Her weeping - gave me all her might
Her weeping - her weepings enthroned me

I am the desire of which branded you...

Into the glowing mist
Her moanings tore my cloak.
Out from her empty veins I emerged with
wrath and lust
My blood in her mouth, I saw the passion
The cold passion to become what she became

Her weeping - touched me caressed me
Her weeping - screamed and longed for me
Her weeping - gave me all her might
Her weeping - her weepings enthroned me

I shall remain, forced to meet the dawn
Bleeding widow, I belong to her
The clouds were black as the starless night
For sunset I yearn, dusk you mysterious...

FAILING WINGS


There will be no beauty
The secrets of the unborn
An angel's cries with it's shattered wings
The holy blood is spilled

I fell from grace, I fell into the
deepest abyss
The evocations wrath hit me like a fist
To burst out in scars of distant grief
The August flames swallowed me with
it's kiss

Never to be found is the key to purgatory
I felt the winds of death and it's fury
They approached from the halls of
sacred duty
The fall of daylight has begun

From the ruins of my domain
They gathered with a pagan oath
to reign these walls for aeons
Hungry for the bewinged
The fullmoon I adore
and it's victory
I raise my hand with their blood in me

As blasphemy rains over me....

~ Repeat second verse ~

Fullmoon...

VITTRA


And then she came forth, the forest goddess
Her crying hymns were calling for me
I followed her through the eternal vast forest
And so, so I found myself lost there in...

SUNLESS DAWN


Hear the howlings in the night
I'm one with it's might
Enchanted by the calling cries
As I gaze into the sombre skies
Awaiting the shining,
the fire neverseen
Waiting for the darkened path which'll
lead me straight
to the one who dance in my dreams

In surrounding flames I must be
wrapped

Wolves run by my side
As I walk towards eternity
In hate they'll gather with my shadows
as the moon arise

A scent of twilight
Into fading woods I march
I glimmer a shyness in the red
In eternal dreams I drown...

As the children of Fenris
sang their fullmoon serenade
I made love to the midnight winds
The forest embraced me
with it's impurity
In ecstasy my tears fell
like autumn silver rain

Now I stand above the human race
I've solved it all, the mystery of night
It's revealed to me
With a smile I see
These stars (unseen) formalion
that breeds my sunless dawn

EXALTED ABOVE THRONES


Oh queen of the night, hear my call
I raised my sword as many times before
Calling for the empress to return
Opening my veins releasing my blood
And with the burning midnight mist she
came, pale white skin and
eyes of blackest flames
Nocturnal goddess of the deep
Mistress of the ancient dark
I fell into her cold embrace
The enchantress of the stars

Giving her what was hers
Pain sweet as silver thorns
Feeling exalted above thrones
Her vision were now mine

As if the sun were neverborn
we played among the stars
Drinking the light of the goatmoon,
the universe was ours

With the purity in her kisses
I fell through the blackened skies
Promising life everlasting
As a king and queen we'd rule
And in dreams eternal we met
Dancing through this hellish night
Floating through worlds beyond cosmos

Giving her what was hers
Pain sweet as silver thorns
Feeling exalted above thrones
Her vision were now mine

I felt exalted above all thrones
Love me - destroy me - suck my dry
But dawn came as it always does
Fading away she left me crying
With the loss of my betrothed burning
I left my shell and this mortal world
to receive life everlasting...
