1. THE AWAKENING

There's something in the waters...


2. CTHULHU

We are the risen,
We light the flames,
We walk upon the soil of fallen men.
We bear the symbol, we guide the way.
No more tomorrow,
At ends today.

Aside the mountains we sail the seas.
The chosen few who dare to face the deeps.
We hunt the vicious, the ancient beasts.
We quest to set our sons and daughters free.

Seas will roar with burning hate.
Skies turn black in thunderous rage.
Whirling winds, ripped apart.
No escape, this is the end of us all.

Out of the seas came a monstrous fiend raging high.
Death emerges slowly as we witness what is surely our demise.
A giant shape from the deeps hibernates patiently.
Underneath earth and air, lies the sum of all fears.
In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.
In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.

The seas will roar with burning hate.
Skies turn black in thunderous rage.
Whirling winds, ripped apart.
No escape, this is the end of us all.


3. SEDUCE INFECT DESTROY

Aeons spent wandering blindly,
Faced by the rivers of pain.
The ice, colossal and winding.
Behold the blasphemous reign.

Now my choices are turning against me.
Was I wrong to expect what the others had.
Show me the way to undo all my wrongs,
Another illusion to which I conformed.

And so the lights disappear
As the demons draw near.

King of a fallen people,
Anointed and holy he stands.

Their eyes are trusting and feeble,
Begging with famished hands.

No more cold state.
I raise myself unto a higher level.
All that I have now, I leave behind
For you to hold in your so called prison.

And so the light disappears,
As the demons draw near.

Then all the shadows found me,
As the dreams turned into nightmares.
And all the well known faces turned away.
An evil grip was pulling me to the ground.
And no one came to help me, as I slowly drowned.

Below the surface, you'll find the truth.
Accept the fact that it is coming for you.
Accept the truth.

Discovering the facts may be cruel.
Accept the fact that it is stronger than you.
Accept the truth.

We Are Nothing!


4. SUICIDE FOREST

I witness the decay.
I watch it turn from life to grey.
I gather crumbs of bliss.
I curse myself for wanting this.

Some say life should be cherished.
As if it were a gift, brought to you and no one else.
Who built this lie?

I live beyond your sight.
I bear the voice of silenced cries.
I hopelessly descend.
I long to face the end.

There is a place away from this, where I belong.
I leave the past behind and journey across the seas.
Along the mountainsides enfeebled, I exceed.
As if predestined, I can feel it calling me.
The path that waits behind the mist, impatiently.
My destination's at its end and so I kneel,
To let Aokigaharas' force make use of me.

Suicide forest,
Captive, bewitched.
Suicide forest,
Life-ending peace.

Bound to bear the chains of disbelief I curse my kind.
Death is all I long for as I tread across the line.


5. WE ARE THE SACRIFICE

Stars are falling,
Moonless night blinds your sight.
Cancer's growing,
Clenching grasp on your spine.
It's been dawning,
We saw the distant signs, behold.
Sirens calling,
Trembling ground underneath.
We are stolen,
We are the sacrifice.

The light of day was erased in a instant,
Replaced by a shimmer from the skies.
Cold and grey the landscape slowly withered,
And the streets turned silent.

Then through the ashes they appear,
Distorted shapes aligned and near.
Dead, evil eyes without a care.
Without defense we kneel in fear.
Under the bleak and dying sun,
We are collected one by one.

And as we witness our demise, we know.
We were blind.
We are blind...


6. SYKDOM

Som et åpent sår,
Forførende for død og sykdom.
For hvert et hjerteslag,
Nærmer seg din pine.

Vent og se
Hva som kommer.
Kald og spak,
Hjelpesløst offer.

Som tusen kniver hakker vei
Og volder skade.
Som fanden selv fortærer deg.
Rødt smertehav.

Fanget av
Tidøs væren.
Ingen venter.
Ut av lyset du skal gå.

Som tusen kniver hakker vei
Og volder skade.
Som fanden selv fortærer deg.

Rødt smertehav.

Sjelforlatt,
øyne som våker.
Tåkennatt,
Stillheten rår.

Hånd i hånd.
Trøstende fabler.
Og tårer
Faller som regn.

Slipp ditt grep,
Det er omme.


7. SUMMONED

Summoned by the Gods.
Called upon in days of darkness.
Wielded is the sword
Of the warrior, the warrior of all.

Sworn by ancient oaths.
Awakening from years of slumber.
Rising from the soil.
The king of kings reclaiming the throne.

Past the mountains in the east I descend from above.
With my hammer I take my enemies down.
Mankind's fate lies within me to obtain.
This dark place, left in the hands of madmen.

As the last in line of my kind.
I am darkness, I am light.
Spare your weak defenses and flee.
I'm divine, I'm elite.

Appearing lights.
Colossal stars falling.
A heaven divine opens,
And legends fall.

Summoned by the Gods.
Called upon in days of darkness.
Wielded is the sword
Of the warrior, the warrior of all.


8. VINTEROFFER

Grim, kald og blek,
Han ser med likhvite øyne.
Fra visne, raslende trær,
Den fremmede kan skimtes.

Et skremmende legeme kryper stakket,
En myte har kommet til liv.
En lunefull skjebne venter,
Og hjemgang dør.

Jeg hører nattens vinder kalle.
Ravner bringer ord, om falne menn.
I vår grend en skygge vandrer, ut av mørket sendt.
Jeg hører nattens vinder kalle.
Ravner bringer ord, om falne menn.

I vår grend en pest i blant oss,
svart som dypet, nådeløs død.
Fryktens ankomst. Fremmed er forvist.
Porten lukkes. Ingen sympati.
En kamp for livet, fremtidens virke er glemt.
Vinteroffer. Undergang i emning.
Kalde skuldre. Brorskap er forbi.
Vi kan ei råde, over vår skjebnes sti.

Jeg hører nattens vinder kalle.
Ravner bringer ord, om falne menn.
I vår grend en skygge vandrer, ut av mørket sendt.

Vibrerende kalde hender, tappet for all styrke.
Lunger som slipper taket, hjertet sovner inn.
Med slitne øyne, jeg våkner i skuffet vantro.
Betrakter dødens verk og tårer brer mitt kinn.
Som mareritt, jeg ser mitt første sr.

Jeg er natten.
Jeg er mørkets far.
Jeg er pesten.
Jeg er den som tar.

Jeg hører nattens vinder kalle.
Ravner bringer ord, om falne menn.
I vår grend en skygge vandrer, ut av mørket sendt.
Jeg hører nattens vinder kalle.
Ravner bringer ord, om falne menn.
I vår grend en pest i blant oss,
Svart som dypet, nådeløs død.

Grim, kald og blek,
Han ser med likhvite øyne.
Fra visne, raslende trær,
Den fremmede kan skimtes.


9. ADMISSA

Darkness cities lie before him,
The sun has seized to shine.
Beyond the tainted moonlight,
A wanderer of night.
Before him lie the ruins,
He once had called his home.
The earth had turned to ashes.
Great son of northwinds, you walk alone.

Before this night has finally fallen,
You'll bow your head in shame,
Of what you once accomplished
As king among your men.
Your children left behind, forgotten
In hands of foreign men.
A savior came upon them.

Your legacy betrayed...
