DISC 1

1. AT THE FATHOMLESS DEPTHS

(Instrumental)


2. NIGHT'S BLOOD

Night haunts and evil lurks in every corner
Like plague it's spreading - I behold
Loneliness, yet with you autumn night as guest
But can you hear my cries?
Permeate me, oh night, as with the forest you did
For heart is cold, cold as ice

I drown in the colour of your eye
For a black heart will only find beauty in darkness
I breathe it's eternity to absorb the sky
Where the shadows of death may lie

Feel the call - Nocturnal desire
Sorrow's breath - Enchanting cries
Night's blood - Taste damnation's wine
Feel the pain - Nocturnal desire
The devil's path of dark delight
Night's blood - Pure damnation's wine

Eyes are glowing, burn as hell's fire
Mark thy wisdom in my mind

Those who never was born
But whose darkness eternally
Devastated the goodness built up through millenniums
No time passed, our victory is eternal
Our scorn, our silence...
A heart dies drowning in the night's blood
Everlasting malice for the wicked soul
Can't resist the night's sweet blood

Loneliness in the embrace of you autumn night
The night that froze my cries
Deep into the woods glows a fading light
I sold my soul, cold as ice

I drown in the colour of your eye
For a black heart will only find beauty in darkness
I breathe it's eternity to absorb the sky
Where the shadows of death may lie

Feel the call - Nocturnal desire
Sorrow's breath - Enchanting cries
Night's blood - Taste damnation's wine
Feel the pain - Nocturnal desire
The devil's path of dark delight
Night's blood - Pure damnation's wine


3. FROZEN

Far beyond all light
Within the black and the coldest breeze
Caressed by the dark I had my sleep

Awakened by the moon
Nocturnal life, my powers to be
Keeping myself alive by sucking your mortals blood...

Frozen winds of immortality
As I drown in obscurity

Still feeling the taste of blood...
It makes me so strong...
I spread my wings...
Into soul winter I fly...

Tears in my eyes turns into fire
As where I belong...
The cold within, it chills my skin,
My heart and soul...
In ecstasy I shred myself
To release whats held within
In solitude I'm having my pride
I, Transylvanian son...

Frozen winds of immortality
As I drown in obscurity

I fall deep into what's for me unseen
Eternal flames lick my face
In purgatory I'm all within
But I'm forever bound to my frozen soul...


4. MAHA KALI

Maha Kali, dark mother dance for me
Let the purity of your nakedness awaken me
Yours are the fires of deliverance which shall bring me bliss
Yours is the cruel sword which shall set my spirit free

Devourer of life and death who rule beyond time
In thy name I shall fulfill my destiny divine
Maha Kali, formless one, destroyer of illusion
Your songs forever sung, the tunes of dissolution

Kalika, black tongue of fire, embrace me
Make me one with your power for all eternity
Awaken within me the reflection of your flame
Kiss me with your bloody lips and drive me insane

Jai Kalika! Jai Kali!
Make me one with your power for all eternity
Maha Kali come to me

Smashana Kali, I burn myself for thee
I cut my own throat in obscene ecstasy
I make love to abominations, embrace pain and misery
Until my heart becomes the burning ground and Kali comes to me

O dark mother, hear me calling thee
Mahapralaya, bring to me
Through all illusions I shall see
I shall cremate this world and set my essence free

Jai Kalika! Jai Kali!
Without fear I will dance with death and misery
Maha Kali, come to me

Maha Kali, thou art fond of cremation grounds
So I have turned my heart into one, that thou
May dance there unceasingly.
O mother, I have no other fond desire in my
Heart. Fire of a funeral pyre is burning there

Jai Maha Kali, Jai Ma Kalika
Jai Maha Kali, Jai Ma Kalika
Kali Mata, namo nama
Kali Mata, namo nama

Jai Kalika! Jai Kali!
At your left hand for endless victory
Maha Kali, come to me

Jai Kalika! Jai Kali!
Mahapralaya will set our spirits free
Maha Kali, come to me


5. SOULREAPER

Wail - oh desolate gale
Bring forth your bitter winds
Wail through heart and through soul
A poisoned kiss so deathly cold
Vanish grief and inner pain
Wail - oh desolate gale
Through empires by blackened tears created
On the wings of a wind - The wind of wraith
Whose scythe caresses in rage

Wind shall sweep the moonless sky
The reflection of a sulphur fire

Dismal gale - Malicious storm of fate
Brought forth to assail the creation
To bring souls to the wind
Beyond the veils of damnation
To the one without face or name

Woeful one of endless sight beyond the veil of time
Of grand darkness you are the keeper
My soul is black and black as night are the ways of thine
Wield the scythe of the Soulreaper

Caressed by the cutting wind
To voyage the oceans of oblivion
Fall into the hands of destiny
For a dawn there no more will be
Wail - oh desolate gale
Through empires by blackened tears created
On the wings of a wind - The wind of wraith
Whose scythe caresses in rage
Wail - oh desolate gale

Bing upon me bitter winds
And wail through heart, wail so cold
Take my life, reap my soul
Vanish grief and inner pain

Woeful one of endless sight beyond the veil of time
Of grand darkness you are the keeper
My soul is black and black as night are the ways of thine
Wield the scythe of the Soulreaper

Wind shall sweep the moonless sky
The reflection of a sulphur fire
...and the wind swept through the moonless sky
The reflection of a sulphur fire...


6. NO DREAMS BREED IN BREATHLESS SLEEP

(Instrumental)


7. WHERE DEAD ANGELS LIE

In the dawn an angel was dancing
Surrounded by an aura of light
But in the shadows something was watching
And with patience awaiting the night

[Angel whispers:]
"Mournful night, attractive night,
Your dark beauty obsesses me"
An angel bewitched by the shadows
Seduced by the whispering lies

A spell was cast an the sky turned red
The angel's heart froze to ice
The blackness that falls is coming to stay
Under the snow lies angels so cold

Dusk has passed and a cold morning breeze,
Is sweeping all over the plain,
On the ground lies an angel with skin so pale,
On her face an image of pain,
Snow is now falling to the frozen ground,
The angel is covered by white,
Frost is spreading across the plain,
To welcome the eternal night.

The dress is white with crystals of ice
And frozen roses so red
Roses of blood from an innocent soul
On the plain lies an angel dead

A spell was cast an the sky turned red
The angel's heart froze to ice
In the gloomy sky black clouds were gathering
The silence was broken by cries
A spell was cast an the sky turned red
The angel's heart froze to ice
In the gloomy sky -
The silence where dead angels lie

Touch the snow... Caress the lifeless sculptures
Die !!!

The blackness that falls is coming to stay,
Under the snow lies angels so cold,
Yet with each crystal of frost that is falling,
Another story is told,
A spell was cast and the sky turned red,
The angel's heart froze to ice,
In the gloomy sky -
The silence where dead angels lie


8. RETRIBUTION - STORM OF THE LIGHT'S BANE

Morning oh dreadful dawn, spread your pale dim light
Reign for your last time over lands once so bright
But your energy shall be weak, and soon to die
So die in pain my dear, expire, goodbye...
Ages has past since your eyes enlightened the earth
From a source of light that gave all godness birth
But your energy is weak and soon to die
The ground is sour from the evil that here lie

I have come to challenge your ways
Light's bane - The last of your days
Oh broken wings - My darkness enslaves
Allow me to erase your feeble race

Morning, so feeble dawn, spread no pale dim light
You've been breeding for your last time, a source without might
An epitaph oh lost worthlessness - Still echoes your last cries
The earth is pure of the evil that here thrives

I have come to challenge your ways
Light's bane - The last of your days
Oh broken wings - My darkness enslaves
Allow me to erase your feeble race

What marks the death of "god" is the twilight for a dark age
His creation being plagued with the venomous blood of ours
The sky suffocates eclipsed by a black mist of hatred
Where goodness cannot reach the fire burns in dark flames

I have come to challenge your ways
Light's bane - The last of your days
Oh broken wings - My darkness enslaves
Will you allow me to erase your feeble race?


DISC 2

1. UNHALLOWED

Pain, plague an pestilence shall sweep through your sight
Grim is the truth that hides behind the fading light
The eyes of the beholder stares empty silent and cold
For the deeds of the dark ones are fearful to behold

With liftened dreadful swords we swear allegiance to our lord
We're the unhallowed usurpers of the throne

Dusk will bring the gathered ones upon the feeble men of god
Superior mighty warriors of pure unhallowed blood
Shoulder to shoulder they reign in the darkest of nights
Together at the edge of time, brought forth to slay the light

Thy majesty - our majesty
Sole superior evil itself
We'll be your instrument
And the blade of their damnation

So futile humans on the knees for the satanized
Burning high at the stakes with the love of Christ

Do not rest in peace, may your souls all burn black
Your sons and daughters I will kiss....with a poisoned smile
Sing out the pain of your roots that you cannot deny
And we'll crush your worthless prayers of the weak forgotten
Lie

The apocalypse is here, oh fools of the withering sky
Encounter darkness as you fall into the endless fire
The jaws of darkness, open wide, lost souls scream out in vain
All will writhe eternity's perpetual infernal pain

With liftened dreadful swords we swear allegiance to our lord
We're the unhallowed usurpers of the throne


2. THORNS OF CRIMSON DEATH

See the plains lie ghastly silent as being frozen in time
A place of distress where evil still lies vigilant enshrined
Years that passed are now centuries and forgotten seem the
Fallen ones
But on lived the memories in the spirits of a battle sons

Hear the choirs
Is it the wind that brought back their cries?
Once forged in blood by tragedy
Sharp were the thorns of crimson death

Through the air again our voices whisper
And awake are now your eyes
For too long closed in slumber - but death didn't prove our
Demise
By ages so dark we've been sculptured
As fragments of story and tales
As we haunt we are endlessly captured
And shrouded in the wind that here wails

Hear the choirs
Is it the wind that brought back their cries?
Forged in blood by tragedy
Dark were the thorns of crimson death

By ages so dark we've been sculptured
As fragments of story and tales
By the place that we haunt we are captured - Against
Eternity we can prevail

Hear the choirs
Is it the wind that brought back their cries?
Forged in blood by tragedy
Dark were the thorns of crimson death


3. HEAVEN'S DAMNATION

Heaven's Damnation
Striking over oceans of blood
Over kingdoms in fears
Where the night bred its cold
Dark the winter drew near

Watch the sky, the crimson tears of heaven
The darkened mist of burning hate

Ashes of the past, Years that fell into oblivion
Visions so dim they had, memories of a time
Yet to come

Watch the sky, the crimson tears of heaven
As damnation reaches the hidden land

Through the forest of profanity
The sound of cries
Brought forth by the night sky

Invoked by their own tongues, Yes they're truly
Awake now
The souls that were sleeping, under the tree of death

And I laugh as I burn down the pearly gates of light
And forever i'll be within the arms of abomination

Embracement of eternal dark
With the ancient souls at the sides
Wasteland bathed in evil...
Are one with the blackened sky

Watch the sky, the crimson tears of heaven
Fade to black and welcome the night of all nights


4. IN THE COLD WINDS OF NOWHERE

Search for my subconscious
Lead me into myself
A need to discover the dark
A will to enter these gates
Oh, This temptation
To end this empty life
In my dreams I saw my real side
A journey through forever
My visions oh so bright
Watching eternity open
As I turn out lifes light
Oh, this temptation
To leave this earthly shell
Deep inside, the toll of death's bell

In the cold winds of nowhere

With a sigh I pass away
Falling, into harmonic sleep
Then I’ll find my prophecies weren't lies
Falling, into the abyss I come...

I... I am dying...
Death... Does heal me...

In the cold winds of nowhere


5. ELIZABETH BATHORY

This is the story of Elisabeth Bathori
Her Blood is Ours...
Pure, Hungarian Blood....
Dark Castle
Occult Carols Sound
Women... Crying
Eternally Satisfied
Elisabeth did not rest this night
Her youth
Ensorcelled through bleak eyes
The dead girls are courting her
Upon deadly mystic circles lines
Pricking needles
Under ladys nails
Their frozen bodies buried alive

Oh, how I love to feel your breath
I lust to be the lover of death
Desires become truths
Evil prayers are
Heard
By Elisabeth Bathori
The countess of my fire
You are her sacrifice
You will give your blood
She bathes in
Your essence

Welcome my youth, alike to before
More complete than ever... By blood...
By blood all is cleansed
Oh I
Feel the magic... I fly....
Fly towards the moon....
Countess, it´s your night
Haunted by your wildest desires

Possessed by bestial lust
You are the goddess of love

Her mind is insatiable
She craves virgins blood evermore
Her flames will never die
Surrounded by
Inferial glory


6. THE SOMBERLAIN

I fell deeper and deeper as light now was gone
I could feel the dark embrace my soul
Agony was no more, and so was pain
At this point of solitude I knew I was there
There where I belong
Thus far a long journey through my souls infinity
It has been a journey far beyond mortality
I have found what I wanted, tranquillity
I'll thrive on evil, eternally

I flew over crystal ground
My existence, numb
Over orchards of grievance,
Sorrow and tears
This beautiful silence
Calls me now
Black fog devours me but I can see it all
The monument of my past,
This land of seven horizons before my eyes
I reach the land of spiritual rest

Its the dawn of descending
- I am the Somberlain
Down to evil divine domain

Lord of infernal, gather my strength
Carry me through the gates

Its the dawn of descending
- I am the Somberlain
Down to evil divine domain

For I'm eternal night
- I'm the Somberlain
Precede my evil divine domain


7. A LAND FORLORN

The mountains below we reached by our will
The flames of our swords are burning still

Temptated by the night to spread hate and fear
Were the revenge the blackest, Their souls is our prey

Storms of evil, thunder and might
Their moons in our eyes, a guiding sight

Were in the march of profanity
The darkest breed, again well rise
Forth against the flocks of the weak
Well approach a land forlorn

Our hordes arrived
Oh hordes of white,
Watch us take your lives
As false you'll fall, falseness disappear

(The Land) where eyes are blind we have found
Battle sign under the shape of mine
Darkest souls now set free
We rose again, damnations reign

Watch me absorb your thoughts
See me ruin your halls of light
Weltering in your sadness for infinity

Were the march of profanity
Your tragedy, flames will rise
Forth against the flocks of the weak
No return, A land forlorn
