1. TIME WILL DESTROY

Death, the threatening black
Has won a space in our hearts
By the law of infinite fear
It kills beauty and joy
It shouldn’t but it does when we let in
In the depths of our souls we confess the sin

Yes… no…

No, the denial of what is lost
Yes, when you value the cost

Time will destroy
To the grasp of breath
Darkened and grey
The wrinkled hands betray

Time of pleasure
For scorn and deceived
Who were forced to their knees
Pleasure when souls are released
Where the world end... the world begins

When all battles swallowing fire
Repeats its place upon earth anger
Fury burning desire
It makes you worthy of pain
Hatred… hatred…
Life… death…

It is when you try to drown your soul
That she sparkles the most

Time of pleasure
For scorn and deceived
Who were forced to their knees
Pleasure when souls are released

Listen to the sound
They call from beyond
Our souls leave the ground
The unknown has begun
To reveal its secrets
Soon we will see
Realise mortality
In the depths of infinity
March down the line of existence

One by one into the depths we fall
Even when we see our lives expire
March, march, march down the line of existence

If you dare to break the silence
If you speak your name aloud
If your standard bows against the winds
You will be swallowed by the crowd

Hatred… hatred
White… black…

Which is mirror to your own deep down
Which is worn as disguise

Time will destroy
To the grasp of breath
Darkened and grey

Time of pleasure
For scorn and deceived
Who were forced to their knees
Pleasure when souls are released

Where the world ends… silence begins


2. DAY-BREAK

The day has passed like nothing’s done
The sleepwalk of the awake, nothing’s wrong
I see things happening right in front of me
I live to see, I live to taste
The waste of things you break

Like nothing’s wrong

I can always find you, we are not equal you see
I can always find you where ever you may be
Because I want to touch you
Caress your twisted mind
To take you through the dark forest
Trees whisper of wiser generations

Listen to the silence
Don’t ride failure or success
Ride the storms that rush in your head

The flames from your darkened eyes
I want to touch you
Caress your twisted mind

Leather you stretch on your face
Shows the feeling you have inside
Don’t get me wrong, leather is nice and smooth
But it will crumble in time, not in time
Too late

Like nothing’s wrong

I can always find you, we are not equal you see
I can always find you where ever you may be
Because I want to touch you
Caress your twisted mind
To take you through the dark forest
Trees whisper of wiser generations


3. STRANDED

An old man at the shore of his life
In desperation and fear he lies
The truth he has tried to conceal
In his mind… before his flesh will part

He was caught in the web of temptation
That norns had woven for him
He had chosen the faddish path of violence
And sacrifice… for ancient gods belief

He was one of the proud
He was violence unleashed
Bend to his will of power
Or join the hordes of deceased

Now he pities himself for his doings
Told by Christ that his motive were wrong
How come he had tread the evil path
While he felt his willpower strong

At the centre of conscience
My fear stares at me
White rimmed eyes, ceremonial mask
No human face, what I see
Stranded

I pay homage to the tower of flesh
While my spirit roams free

He was one of the proud
He was violence unleashed
Bend to his will of power
Or join the hordes of deceased

Enter now the kingdom of Nastrond
Where the strand of corpses lie
Enlaced to the boundaries of hope
In eternity captured souls cry

He was one of the proud
He was violence unleashed
Bend to his will of power
Or join the hordes of deceased

When the powers of existence
Gazed furious in me
White rimmed eyes, ceremonial mask
I fear the shape… that I see
Stranded

True repentance when your soul dies
With all manner of those who died in bed

He was one of the proud
He was violence unleashed
Bend to his will of power
Or join the hordes of deceased


4. LUSTRATION OF THE NEED

Favour a cessated tool
Resigned since its last infuse
Provoke the occurrence of ever charged weapon
Very much creative when used

Graceful touch achieves turgidity
And all outside actions convert to the inside
As a natural succession to co-operated coquetry
The intension reflects in the eyes

Lust – lush gracile greed
Lust – lustration of the need

Mutual pleasure and enthusiasm
Reconstructed tool into a chasm
Acceleration of powerful emotions
Proportional to high speed

Now called forth overthrown redemption
Seed urges exile and enter foreign shores
After outliving the turbulent conveyance
The horrors of a battlefield revealed

Approximate the sensation
Of abdominal spasmodic joy
A spectacle of ancient ritual
Human flesh as lustful toy

Lust – a lustradition
Lust – lustration of the need

Hyperventilation, dehydration
Inpermanent outward expulsion of the drivers
A total relaxation and peace in the mind
Inbred interest for out fellow kind

Lust – lustration
Lust – lustration of the need


5. SPREAD AROUND

Welcome to adventure land
Chaotic evil in command
Bound we are to crush the man
That holds the power in his hand

The truth is here for all to see
We are few versus armies but we are free
Are we are and to the teeth
We will crush the cruel absurdity

Our minds are set and so we will ride
To part with the sun across the sky
With faces of stone and fear in the hearts
Dawn is here so we must depart

Soon we see a thousand spears
In charge position as we near
There they are across the stream
Pale to see in the morning mist
The roaring thunder as they laugh
They mock as we attack
And the fear in our hearts alters to hate
Knowing the Norns decide our fate

So we draw our swords
Across the stream we ride
Bound to face the enemy
This overwhelming might
It is a good day to die

The first ones we decapitate
The seconds we run through
The thirds we chop in half

And as I fall I fall satisfied
Not afraid of the other side
I took so many down

My soul leaves the dying corpse
And hark the hooves of the horse
Valkyrie harvest the field
They take the souls of the proud to the gate

And the silence spreads around
Soon the dead will walk
The whispers warn the living
Now the dead will talk

It was a fine day to die
It was a fine day to die


6. DEATHWISH

The meaning of life, a history untold
My dear mother planet earth
The last chapter has grown
We sentenced you to death with war and destruction
Mutants of genetic construction

A world who wants to die
Nothing lasts forever
Miracles will happen while we sleep
The longest night which is given

The result of a world who gives a fuck
About human relations (reaching out for profits and Sensations)
Look at the sky above the ground you crawl
From there you are so very small
The sea before so beautiful
Drowned in shit
The ocean green and proud
Now embarrassed to the soul

A world who wants to die
Nothing lasts forever
Miracles while we sleep
The longest night which is given

Before you thought it was them who should take the step
But you can’t see it was you instead
Horny as we were using your resources
Raping your bleeding womb
You protected so helpless

A world who wants to die
Nothing lasts forever
Miracles will happen while we sleep
The longest night which is given

Deathwish – we all knew it would come
