1. INFINITY BURNING (MEDLEY)

(No lyrics available)


2. COSMIC KEYS TO MY CREATIONS AND TIMES

The heavens are lit by the stars
Where years of secrets of universal forces lay hid.
They shine so bright, but yet they have seen more evil than time itself.
Reflected in the deepless lakes
(They are drowning in black elements).

They are the planetary keys to unlimited wisom
And power for the Emperor to obtain.
(They being) the gods of the wolves
Whom upon they bark at night,

Requesting their next victim in thirst of blood.
I enjoy those moments I may haunt with these beats of the night.

What kinds of beings are existing
At the deeps of my lakes?
They surely must be of an evil race,
For no friendly thing can live in such depressive waters.

(Here is also a planet similar to the Moon, but its phases is only one
And it is in its most powerful for all and ever...
There passes no light without the barking of the wolves.)

All these landscapes are timeless,
And this is all just a part of cosmos,
But all is mine and past and future is yet to discover...
Much have been discovered, but tomorrow
I will realise I existed before myself.

I will be reborn
Before I die.

I will realise planets ages old,
Created by a ruler with a crown of dragon claws,
Arrived with a stargate...
A king among the wolves in the night...
An observer of the stars.

I will realise planets ages old,
Created by a ruler with a crown of dragon claws,
Arrived with a stargate...
A king among the wolves in the night...
An observer of the stars.

An observer of the stars.
An observer of the stars.


3. THUS SPAKE THE NIGHTSPIRIT

Close your eyes
And gaze into this realm
That I reveal
See where eternities are born
Close your eyes
Behold the powers of the broken seal
See the liars bound in thorns

Fear
And you shall fall
Weakness suffocates your will
Dare
Yet never fail
Wisdom guides the one
The strong who can defy
Death

So I speak
Though, am I heard...?
Wasting visions on a world of blinded fools

Still I scorn
The vacant contradiction of life
If only to be wider
The final truth shall speak my name

Thus spake the nightspirit

Nightspirit
Spirit
Embrace my soul


4. AN ELEGY OF ICAROS

Icaros, I dare you
For I possess the wings of faith
Though, heavy on my shoulders
(No measurement can prove their weight)
Still, a burden are they not to me
I am the challenger of gravity

The fear is not the fate I seek
My destiny will build upon
The mighty turbulence beyond
If I fall I will rise again

Some of envy
Some of fear
Asmonish by the graves of those who fell
Praise the fool that pure of heart
Leaps off your finger
Into grace

Icaros, your voice once melted
Into the choir of the fallen ones
I hav eheard, I have seen
The purity of their song

Icaros
Your fate embrace
A manifold of angels
I summon thee
From shattered graves
And call upon the wind
Recieve my bow of reverence
Then spread your wings
And fly into oblivion


5. WITH STRENGTH I BURN

Deep green dark chaos
Blinded I run down these paths
By heart I know them
They lead to the searing cliffs
Stout they stand above the water's edge
Lifeless

And this is my foundation
Cold stone
Formed only by winds and time
How invulnerable
Lifeless

Ahh...
I have longed to be at one with this
Yet, the waters call my name

For once I wish to see
The entity behind the voice
The face of this seduction
The beauty of my pain

Am I blessed or am I cursed by thy presence...
What is my crime...
What is my deed...
Is this life my redemption
Shall I repent or proceed

I hate my flesh
Its dimension poisoned my soul with doubt
It made me question the essence of...
The "I"

Slaves are those of this world
Given freedom to lay chains upon the master
The wolf is no longer free
Release the chains and come for me

[The elder:]
"Suddenly, his mournful cries were stunned. Out of the cold mist
Came three enthralling ships. Sails torn by many a storm, and the
Bows adorned by the most fierce gargoyles he'd ever laid eyes upon.
Yet, the crew they bore... Three times twelve in numbers. They stood
Motionless, wrapped in grey, worn gowns. And from behind their
Shadowed faces the seductive chanting. Bidding him on board.
Without hesitation, he accepted. And away they sailed..."

Upon these seas
Wherein I drowned so many times
I scatter the ashes of dignity
Still my flames are in hunger

With fire in my heart
Shall I greet the shores ahead
Though, I know not what will burn

Desire...
Ahh...
In the distance
I hear the waves wash over solid ground
And in this moment I am struck blind

Grant me sight so I can see
That which lies ahead of me
Cursed be my mortal eyes
For dying in the realm of death

Hear my call...

I return to the soaring cliffs
They truly shine of strength
Even though, I nothing learned
With strength I burn...


6. CURSE YOU ALL MEN!

Curse you all men
Who's coil is strong
I recognise the sparrows heart
Beneath the theatre of misery
Disbelivers shalt by dawn
Be forced
To forever mourn

Curse you all men
That resent my empire
Cause I have risen again
At war this time
The truth I speak
Is your decease
My word is your defeat

And thou shalt not
Be able to hide anymore
The prophecy will
Conquer at last
Your sense of reality
With mission to kill
The theatre of misery

He has risen again
Armed with the source of sin
And as humans shalt fade
He shalt inherit their strength
Men of the damned;
Your will reluctantly
Secure His eternal victory

Yes, you are indeed the few;
I am the one.


7. WRATH OF THE TYRANT

As the wolves bark at the moon the seventh time
As the moon cast its shadow towards the cliff's edge
As the woods are crying their hymn to the almighty one

The darkness consumes the happiness
At the witching hours He will come forth
And cry the names of the chosen ones
He will raise His voice of doom

He will carry the dust of the fallen warriors
He will bear the fires of hell in His eyes
He will walk among his souls tonight
He will carry the seventh golden sword
And bear the sign of evil

Hell on Earth, death and destruction
The fullmoon shines, and the angels whine
The moment of Armageddon is here
The ancient masters are back

He is the wind, He is the storm
He is the woods, He is the roots
Nobody will escape the wrath of the tyrant
Forever the beast shall wander the Earth


8. TOWARDS THE PANTHEON

May the wolves start to howl again.
May the age of darkness arise.
We will travel for eternities
Into the unknown to reach what we seek.
Fight the ways through the barriers of light, through the wastelands
Where nothing but grief have become the eternal memory.

Shield of life, sword of death held up high into the sky.
Guided by the shining Moon in the starry sky above.
In the horizon beyond black clouds of destruction rages
Like dancing shadows of pain.
...Of pain.

We will grant Him their pain.
He will grant us His flame.
In flesh and blood. He will arise
To deliver the key.
As the armours black robe slides across the landscape,
We see the land of wisdom, strength and pure evil...
Darkness, frost, hate...

The throne will be ours.

May the wolves start to howl again.
May the age of darkness arise.
May we touch the black flames
Of the past again... And forevermore.


9. THE MAJESTY OF THE NIGHTSKY

Like the tide, shadows flow towards the shore of light.
The night comes whirling like a maelstrom.
Warring waves of crackling clouds embrace this nightside landscape.
The heavens bleed, through open wounds, the dim light of the Moon.
The winds are crying mournfully and tears fly with the gusts.
They whip my clenched faces freezing skin with ice-cold burning cuts.

Too long I have suffered the desert sands of time.
But as I drown in darkness it will release the sign.
My soul will leave this mortal coil of flesh and earthly life,
To fly into the mist of night, into the nightside eclipse,
And experience existence on the other side.

As a stone of scorching enthusiasm
I refract the reflecting surface of this unfathomable sea.
Growing circles of grief and pain slides across the land
As an omen of the horror yet to come.

The strength of a thousand fire-breathing demons
Breed in my infernal, sinking soul.
And as I reach the surface once again
These powers are under my control.
Now I am one with the night sky majesty.


10. THE LOSS AND CURSE OF REVERENCE

Memories of torment strikes me
Attempts were made to suffocate me at birth
Fools
I was already ancient
Thou can not kill what breeds within Thee

Alas, this agony
The emptiness of earthborn pride
Hath stirred my faithful heart
Which guided me to darker paths
Far away from their pestilent ways
Cleansed was I from deceitful grace
Yet put to scorn was I
By those unclean
Enslaved by ignorance
They blindly spat upon the deity of hate
Awake is the darkest fiend

By the fallen one I shall arise

Upon bewildered masses
To whom the indulgence of my soul
Portray as sin made god
I shall revile and quell the source
Whence mockery of my kind derive
This I know
Facile shalt my quest not come to pass
Deathwish be my gift to all at last

Honour
Commended no linger as virtue
Yet, shalt be extolled by light's demise

By the fallen one I shall arise

Believer
Speak not to me of justice
For none have I ever seen
By God, I shall give as I receive
Betrayer
Speak not to me at all
You and this world ripped my fucking heart out

Again... and again... and again...


11. IN THE WORDLESS CHAMBER

In the wordless chamber
They feared death
Desperately
Thus they clustered to the fruits of the earth
Craving dispersion
As if to avoid knowing why

In the wordless chamber
They feared life
Desperately
Thus they proclaimed any given truth
And swallowed
As if to justify their fear

He knew that there had been hordes of seers
Before him
Who set out to cure
Though, the sick wished not to part with
Their decease
As if it made them feel
Alive

In the wordless chamber
He accepted desperation
And the unpredictable manifestations
Of hope


12. INNO A SATANA

O' mighty Lord of the Night
Master of beasts
Bringer of awe and derision
Thou whose spirit lieth upon every act of oppression, hatred and strife
Thou whose presence dweleth in every shadow Thou who strengthen the power of every quietus Thou who sway every plague and storm
Harkee. Thou art the Emperor of Darkness
Thou art the king of howling wolves
Thou hath the power to force any light in wane
Sans mercy. Sans compassion nor will to answer whosoever asketh the why
Thy path is capricious but yet so wide
With no such thing as an impediment too strong Every time thou consecrate me to another secret of Thine
I take another step towards Thy Pantheon
Forever wilt I bleed for Thee
Forever wilt I praise Thy dreaded name
Forever wilt I serve Thee
Thou shalt shalt forever prevail.


13. I AM THE BLACK WIZARDS

Mightiest am I,
But I am not alone in this cosmos of mine.
For the black hills consists of black souls,
Souls that already dies one thousand deaths.
Behind the stone walls (of centuries) they breed their black art.
Boiling their spells in cauldrons of black gold.

Far up in the mountains,
Where the rain fall not far,
Yet the Sun cannot reach.
The wizards, my servants,

Summon the souls of macrocosm.
No age will escape my wrath.
I travel through time and I return to the future.
I gather wisdom now lost.
I visit again the eternally ancient caves,
Before a mighty Emperor thereupon came.
Watching the mortals "discovering" my chronicles, guarded
By the old demons, even unknown to me.

Once destroyed their souls are being summoned
To my timeless prison of hate.
It is delightful to feast upon the screaming souls
That were destroyed in my future.

How many wizards that serve me with evil, I know not.
My empires has no limits.

From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes.
I am the ruler and has been for eternities long.
I am them.

(I am them.)
(I am them.)

From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes.
I am the ruler and has been for eternities long.
My wizards are many, but their essence is mine.
Forever they are in the hills in their stone homes of grief.
Because I am the spirit of their existence.
I am them.

I am them.
I am them.


14. YE ENTRANCEMPERIUM

Drawn towards these lands again
Seeking death and sacred soil
I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul
Growing stronger once I enter my empire beyond

Emperium
Behold my coming

The full moon rise above me
Enlightening my realm in a silvery glow
Yet the shadows crawl beneath my storming sky
Guarding treasures from forbidden light

I still remember, though ages ago it seems
The first time I entered the gates
The revelation of ritual death
By which I became divine
Sacrifice of the life I had among the flesh of the light

And now I enter again
Even stronger, yet amazed by what I see
In ecstasy I mock the world

Suddenly I memorize
Asking what I left behind
Nothing

Can I ever comprehend?
Will my longing ever end?

Never

Drawn towards these lands again
Seeking death and sacred soil
I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul
Eternally
