Lyrics


1. NOX INITIUM

(Instrumental)


2. CHAINS OF FROST

Diamonds are all the you see
Staring at you everywhere
The frozen shape of yourself
You see through sockets black
Trapped in the comfort chains
So close, yet so far away
The key, the flame
Canvas dried up too soon
Restless apathy
Shining tragedy
The darer, the clinger
The vastness, the sanctuary
The life, the dream
The stay, the journey
The chains of frost
So tender


3. INFINITE HALLS

This road is so endless
A mercy-shaded truth
There is no rest here
I see past the white curtains
Trapped in a dream
That lies beneath another dream
The infinity revealed
By sanity - concealed

A circular line
Sleepers confined
In your eyes I see myself
Forthward in time, perchance my past
A curse and gift that will forever last


4. ANGEL OF DESOLATION

How wide the sea of fates
How speckled the canvas of dreams
What chance we did take
As we painted extremes

How merciless the chaoss
I did not choose
Enslaved in suffering
Releasing beauty
A shining star
Wishing for a shallow world
A place to rest, a place to dream
About joy and agony


5. LEVIATHAN

Waves awaken with a thundering roar
Unreal
Throning a mighty abyss
Unveiling the ancient king
Ninety four feet wide
Miles upon miles long
Infernal is it's scream
Freezing you blurred and numb

Rising up to shake the earth
Oceans tremble in its wake
Black as the devil, huger than mountains
Leviathan, cosmos' avatar of fear


6. POSEIDON

Jeg ber til Poseidon, den store gud, Ryster
av Jorden of det fruktløse hav, gud over
dypet, samt herre av Helicon og vide
Aegae. To seremonier ga gudene deg,
O Ryster av Jorden, for å bli en temmer
av hester og bane for skipsmenn.

Hzll, Poseidon, Holder av Jorden,
Mørk-hådere herre! O du nådeløse,
Vær vredefull og storm oss som ferder på
skip.

Begrav oss dypt, i det evige hav, slukk min
lengsel, dekk oss med dine titaniske
bølger, dra oss ned til den evige, mørke
dvale.


7. CELEBRATION OF THE WAKE

Celebration of the wake
A glimpse of the higher reality
Traces in the desert of eternity
Mutilation ecstasy
Painting the dreaded stage
The liberty and revelation
Of the futile play
Screams and laughs
Red and white
Art and death
Pain and joy united
Watch in dismay
Life's morbid clay


8. SUNRISE

(Instrumental)


9. THE UNKNOWN KADATH IN THE COLD WASTE (THERGOTHON COVER)

Colossal towers far in the horizon
A reflection from the dark past
A shadow from the time before time
A memory of a divine dominion
Distant piping of a cosmic flute
A hymn so high, a sound so strange
Almost able to be heard
Voices from the outside
