Portrait (SWE) : The Murder of All Things Righteous
Lyrics
1. THE MURDER OF ALL THINGS RIGHTEOUS
To go beyond the borders of humanity
To block but one path of a wanderer's eternity
To murder the past in search of the light
To break every law set by con men unwise
To slay the righteous
Through Death I shall go
To drain all of the world's life blood
To see through the veils of a dying god
To murder all morality in unconcscionable rapture
To resurrect and break out of a state of capture
To slay the righteous
Through Death I shall go
For unlawful is the path I walk
Condemned to forever wander
Yet I am no stranger to your lands
Lands that I once coloured
By the inevitable slaughter of the lamb
I have seen it all
I touched the golden walls
But the absence of truth, it's tension and burden
I forever left behind, by the releasing act of murder
The murder of all things righteous
The suppressing of words by bare hands
The silence that shall reign in eternity
The splendour of the end of mortality
To slay the righteous
Through Death I must go
And become one with the endless night
2. SON OF ALL GRAVES
I am the son of all graves
All graveyards are holy to me
For they are not only what they seem
But portals through which the dead may redeem
My candle burns although cold winds blow
Without a trace of fear, further I go
Oh, this place of mourning
I kiss it's soil with love and with joy
And I pray for illumination
The blessing of Old
My candle burns although cold winds blow
Phantasms calling and I follow where they go
Hear my will and grant me the wisdom that you hold
In return I shall pay thee sevenfold
Thousands of tears have been swallowed
By this sacred dust
Where mighty powers dwell
And where I put all of my trust
Great guardian of this burial ground
Come grant me with thy pitch black presence
I am the son of all graves
All grave mounds are holy to me
Up here I can feel them
The spirits of the dead
And from here they can lead me
On the burning path on which I tread
I put aside all that life may learn
Feed the dead and pray for their return
