(Music: M. Ehlin, L. Ekström, Lyric: M. Ehlin)
Under a nightly sky
In ecstasy of the newly born
Creatures of a time forgotten
And a place forlorn
Hear their cries
Look deep into their eyes
Watch them fly into the night
Try to reveal
What they have concealed
And they will let you burn
"...Glory to the Kings of night
Hail the Ones of ever blight
Fear Them as you fear the dark
Majesties Infernal ..."
Under a darken sky
With the moon shining bright
They hail the ancient ones
On this devilish night
With fires burning
They are yearning
For spells and sacrifice
To conquer the night
No daylight in sight
And the bounds will be broken
(Music: M. Ehlin, L. Ekström, Lyric: M. Ehlin)
For eternity
Obsessed by thy soul
The life of a sinner
As the storms draws near
Behold the visions
Awakened to the sky
Filled with flaming thoughts
The storms of what thy fear
What have become?
When all is concealed
See the shapes of thy likes
As centuries has failed
Finding through the darkness
The Enigma of thy souls
Takes thee back in ancient times
And reveals the truth
"...Storms - Are thy weakness
Storms - Are thy faith
Storms - Will reveal to thee,
The secrets of the night..."
For eternity
The impressions of a dream
The touch of a sinner
Make the storms bleed
Hold the chalice
Awakened to the sky
Filled with burning hopes
And with thy greed
Is this the end?
When all is revealed
See the shapes of thy likes
Where centuries has failed
(Music: M. Ehlin, L. Ekström, Lyric: M. Ehlin)
Silent thou wandered the forest that night
Stalked through the shadows, not a sound or sight
The fullmoon was calling, thou could not sleep
Nor find peace in thy grave, thy keep
Flickering shadows embraced thee that night
Embraced thee in darkness, caressed thee with might
Thy hunger was pain, thy pain was lust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
"...My angel nocturnal
Thou blessed be by night
Shadows enthrones thee eternal
With darkened glory and might..."
Thy touch me enchanted
My soul thee enseamed
Everything that thee granted
Forgotten sins thus gleamed
Thy lust shrouded in darkness lies
Covered with painful delight
Hear my anguish, as prayer dies
Lost as treasures, pearls of night
(Music: M. Ehlin, L. Ekström, Lyric: M. Ehlin)
Thy wicked beauty haunts me
When dreams of thee I dream
Revealing truths of midnight
And all that lies within
The nightly temptest is thee
From the shadowy dusk
With ember eyes of fire
And a heart of sin
"...Dream with me as I dreamt of thee
During ancient times and those to come
Feel the pleasures of thee in my dreams
As of thee, as of sin..."
Thy whispers in the forest dark
Stalks me through the night
Of passion and of dreaming
Thy answer waits for me
Meetings under moons so full
Their light is thy seal
Combined with sinners glory
I am waiting just for thee
Mistress of one thousand years
Which I all have dreamt
Thy vision is now crystal clear
And my soul is bound
I wait for thee, when thee call
And call thee will, I know
When dawn is following the dusk
We sleep beneath the frozen ground
(Music: M. Ehlin, L. Ekström, Lyric: M. Ehlin)
On a night in late October
Just before the time of dawn
Thou went into thy sisters' chamber
And seduced thy own blood
Through her window, in late October
Moon were changing into sun
Thee left thy bride, cold and silent
Sleeping, resting until next time
Longing for her precious beauty
Her darkened hair and pale white skin
No more resting for the wicked
Even in thy own cold grave
Suddenly, in late October
Another night, a different time
A curse was spelled, woe to thee
Her neck was poisoned by a cross
With tired eyes she looked upon
Thou, her sister, late and fair
Standing close her maiden bed
With fearful gaze, and spiteful smile
With cold pale fingers, she now dragged
The scornful cross from the bleeding neck
Joined her sister, in late October
United on this silent night
A pact beyond both grave and death
Sleeping beside her very own flesh
Since this night, forever and ever
Thy sister thee eternally wed
"...Seduced by her sinful treasures
On her lifeblood thee was fed
Embraced by her nightly pleasures
Thy sister thee crimson wed..."
(Music: M. Ehlin, L. Ekström, Lyric: M. Ehlin)
From the wine, Opacitas enthroned
Through the light of flickering birth
Brought upon madness and stillborn breeds
Embraced by the shadows she eternally invokes
Mistress of malicious ways
Demon, Queen of the dark
Unhallowed be thy name, Opacitas
"...And angels fell from grace that night
Surrounded by darkness and dreadful fright
Rising as icons midst church and tomb
While Opacitas dried them in her womb..."
Chalices filled with blood divine
Black candles and essence burn
Luring the realm into temptation
As the heavens trembled with fear
From the wine, Opacitas enthroned
Through the candles of flickering light
Embraced by the shadows she invokes
Brought upon madness, as stillborn gave birth
(Music: M. Ehlin, L. Ekström, Lyric: M. Ehlin)
Silent darkness invokes the palette
Forcing the night into our hearts
Facing candles in mirrors of dark
As shadows embraces the arts
Opened wide stand gates to nightmares
Lurking each painting with gloomy light
Precious gifts of nightly treasures
Forever preserved by this dismayed sight
Gather the allies among dreaming and living
Summon the fiends of grave and death
Souls of darkness, dwellers of nightfall
Searching, grasping for timeless breath
Dead is now the art of dreaming
Dreaming is now the art of death
Find thy soul in ever grieving
Conjured by demons of twilight birth
"...Thy flesh shades of scarlet sights
As thou suffers the age of dawn
Thy pale skin upholds the marks
Of a dream of scarlet nights..."
The archfiends of fearless hunting
Destroyer of daughters and sons
Creatures within the illusion
Dwellers of a crimson dream
