1. WHEEL OF SUN

As the night divides the day
The dark will come to everyone
Fear will strike the hearts of all
The hearts of all both old and young
The fool may be carefree
Unknown to him the troubles upon his master’s brow
But death us all will grasp with hand
So cold to pull us down

And so the sun is low again
Along horizon a crimson blaze
Soon the dusk us all embrace
The shadows long as life itself
But in the light of moon and stars above
Be sure ye everyone
Tomorrow new a day will dawn
None stop can the course of the Wheel... of Sun!

As sure as it is true once we all shall die
True it is not all men lives
A king shall fall, a child be born
The Gods will take and Gods will give
Before your time has come
Do climb your mountainside on morning fair
And smell the fragrance carried by the wind
Let it blow freely through your hair

Damned he who sits still and curse “Woe the dark”
But will do not a thing
To light the torch, to shed the light
For him the dark is all within
Slowly across the sky the golden disc
Of light it tumbles on
The wheel of life and light, rebirth
The seasons, behold the Wheel of... Sun!

And so the sun is low again
Along horizon a crimson blaze
Soon the dusk us all embrace
The shadows long as life itself
But in the light of moon and stars above
Be sure ye everyone
Tomorrow new a day will dawn
None stop can the course of the Wheel... of Sun!


2. APOCALYPSE

Now that the virgin bitch
Breastfeads death
And the winds smell strong
Of the dragons breath

And all the stars fall down
Like fuckin' rain of fire
There will be souls for sale
But only one damned buyer

Hey, is this the planet of apes?
Endless chewing on sour grapes
Or the age of eclipse?
The coming of the Apocalypse?

Drugs and pills
There's no oil in Vucovar
When a one night stand kill's
No matter who you are

When the Earth cries loud
But not a damn thing is heard
And a pussy is an asset
In this fuckin' world

When the blood runs down
Mother Nature's thighs
And the TV-preacher is caught
While jerking off before Christ

And an audience pay's
Just to fuckin' gloat
How the bitch is cut wide open
From her cunt to her throat

Hey, is this the planet of apes?
Endless chewing on sour grapes
Or the age of eclipse?
The coming of the Apocalypse?

Hey, is this the planet of apes?
Endless chewing on sour grapes
Or the age of eclipse?
The coming of the Apocalypse?


3. BLACK DIAMOND (KISS COVER)

Out on the street for a living
Picture’s only begun
Got you under their thumb

Out on the streets for a living
Picture’s only begun
Your day is sorrow and madness
Got you under their thumb

Whoo, Black Diamond
Whoo, Black Diamond

Darkness will fall on the city
It seems to follow you too
And though you don’t ask for pity
There’s nothin’ that you can do, no, no

Whoo, Black Diamond
Whoo, Black Diamond

Out on the streets for a living
Picture’s only begun
Your day is sorrow and madness
Got you under their thumb

Whoo, Black Diamond, yeah
Whoo, Black Diamond


4. WOMAN OF DARK DESIRES

All dressed in gold and purple
The beauty awaits the night
Knowing what will satisfy
Aware of her delight

The thought of young fresh blood
Makes the hours go so slow
But the yearn for eternal life and beauty
Makes her hazel brown eyes glow

Woman of dark desires
Woman of eternal beauty
Woman of dark desires
Elizabeth Bathory...

Now the hour is come
The time is right
For the feast to take its roll
And by the sunrise

Sixty bodies will be found
Raped from their blood and souls
The beauty patiently selects the victims for the night
Innocent blood will give eternal beauty eternal life

Woman of dark desires
Woman of eternal beauty
Woman of dark desires
Elizabeth Bathory...

Now the life you have lived has come to light
And unfold is your perversity
Now the end is near still death is real
No more beauty or life for eternity

Cold walls entombs your secrets
But there’s nothing you regret
Embrace death with a smile
As the highlands face sunset

Woman of dark desires
Woman of eternal beauty
Woman of dark desires
Elizabeth Bathory...

Woman of dark desires
Woman of eternal beauty
Woman of dark desires
Elizabeth Bathory


5. DESTROYER OF WORLDS

A flash like the birth of a sun
A pillar of virgin fire
Now glowing, a ruby cloud
The finger of Death reaching higher

Radiant dust a chimney rise
Desert floor dissolved wide ablaze
Golden plume against the midnight sky
Burning eyes of death cloud’s ash-grey face

I have harnessed the stars
Now unleashed upon the earth
I am become Death
The Destroyer of Worlds!

Encased in lead and steel
The end and infinity
The eight moon, the sixth day, the year death
The heatwave to grasp and consume your last breath

Brought high on R-marked silver wing
Afar in cold thin morning air
Below as the day begins
The burning eyes in Death’s face greedily stares!

I have harnessed the stars
Now unleashed upon the earth
I am become Death
The Destroyer of Worlds!


6. SEA WOLF

Into the granite, stave by stave
Carved plough-wise, now read my tale
The raging ocean I have sailed
Many a man I have maimed... ha ha!

Shields I have crushed with my sword
Women I have pleased endless nights... ha ha!
On foreign coast my brother did fall
He now dines in great hall up high

Erected a stone
Against twilight sky
Read Sea Wolf’s tale

From the coasts of the West to Sarkland
To the marshlands and the forests of the East
High adventures, great riches and wine
Bloodshed, great battles and feasts

My stone, firm in Mother Earth
Through rain and time
Read Sea Wolf’s tale


7. DEUCE (KISS COVER)

Get up!
And get your grandma outta here
Pick up!
Old Jim is workin’ hard this year
Baby!
Do the things he says to do

Do it!
Baby, if you’re feeling good
Yes, baby if you’re feeling nice
You know your man is workin’ hard
He’s worth a deuce!

Honey!
Don’t put your man behind his years
Baby!
Stop cryin’ all your tears
Baby!
Do the things he says to do

Do it!
Baby, if you’re feeling good
Yes, baby if you’re feeling nice
You know your man is workin’ hard
He’s worth a deuce!

Baby, if you’re feeling good
Yes, baby if you’re feeling nice
You know your man is workin’ hard

Yeah!


8. THE RETURN OF THE DARKNESS AND EVIL

A sorcery written in blood
Whispered by a Witch in the dawn
Summon the darkness pure evil and death
And gather the legions of scorn

The darkness possesses you your soul scream in vain
Tonight the Hellfire shall burn
Thunder and lightning the ancient prediction
The bells chime for Satan's Return...

(Blasphemy
Sorcery)

It's the return of the darkness and evil
It's the return of the fire and flame
It's the return of my master Satan
It's the return of desire and pain

Sacrifice a virgin to the flames of burning Hell
Black Witch of beauty recite the words of spell
Gather masses run in circles scream for mercy cry of pain
No mercy for the blessed in Hell you all will burn in lord Satan's name

Now descend from the burning blasting sky
Holding the reigns ride the night
Satan appear in full glory and pride
The raped souls of Heaven cries

Blasphemy
Victory
Desecration
Hell and damnation

It's the return of the darkness and evil
It's the return of the fire and flame
It's the return of my master Satan
It's the return of desire and pain


9. DAY OF WRATH

Finally the purifying storm
First we die then be reborn
So flock the banner of The Return now fight and die
Many head serpent is here at our side

Wagnerian end the grand finale is here
Awash with red blood rebirth is near
Feel wind of Mayhem against your face
Bugle divine can be heard throughout space

If in the heat of battle you will have doubt
Just kill them all and let their God sort them out
The tales of this day will replace tomorrows weep
For when thou wind doth saw then storm thou shall reap

On the final day

The angel heart lies cold Under The Sign
And crimson still the frozen Blood On Ice
Drawn on walls in blood of goats the Octagon
The vagrant souls will chant the Requiem until the Twilight is long gone

Suck the leaves of otherness and lie down with the faeces goddess
Eat from her rotten flesh there is no life before death
Now the sky is crimson with blood of angels
Kneel before the voice face the anger of God

Day of wrath


10. I'M ONLY SLEEPING (BEATLES COVER)

When I wake up early in the morning
I lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float upstream

Please don't wake me
No, don't shake me
Leave me where I am
I'm Only Sleeping

Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find that there's no need

Please don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
And after all
I'm Only Sleeping

Keeping an eye
On the world
Going by my window
Taking my time

Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for that sleepy feeling

Please don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
And after all
I'm Only Sleeping

Keeping an eye
On the world
Going by my window
Taking my time

When I wake up early in the morning
I lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float upstream

Please don't wake me
No, don't shake me
Leave me where I am
I'm Only Sleeping


11. ODE

When I'm gone and my time had come to shut these eyes of mine
No stones must be erected I will leave but ash behind
Tell no tales about me when you gather around your fire
I'll be one with mother earth not dining in no hall up high

I have no master I swear no oath
The gods may pass me by
I steer the horse I choose to mount
When the storm draws near and the blood rain from the sky

One life hardly a notch made in the bark of tree of time
One death hardly a drop of blood on the reapers shiny scythe
I take not a thing with me where I will go on the day I die
When my star has ceased to shine, but in a shallow hole I'll lie I'll lie

Nobody died for my sins
No faith tied to my name
The path I choose to walk is mine
When the clouds turn red and the horizon as in flames

My blood my heart my soul my hands my feet
My hair and eyes my head my lips and teeth
My arms my legs my cock my choice and life
My lungs my mind till the day I die


12. HAMMERHEART

Now that the wind calls my name
And my star has faded hardly
A glimpse up in the empty space
And the wise one-eyed great father
In the sky stills my flame

For the ones who stood me near
And you few who were me dear
I ask of thee to have no doubts and no fears

For when the great clouds fills the air
And the thunder roars from oh
So far away up in the sky
Then for sure you will know
That I've reached the joyous hall up high

With my blood-brothers at side
All sons of father with one eye
We were all born in the land of the blood on ice

And now all you who might hear
My song brought to you by the northern wind
Have no fear
Though the nights may seem so everlasting
And forever dark

There will come a golden dawn
At ends of nights for all ye on whom
Upon the north-star always shines

The vast gates to hall up high
Shall stand open wide and welcome you with all its within
And Oden shall hail us bearers of a pounding Hammerheart

15. YOU JUST GOT TO LIVE

As I'm sitting out here basking looking up into the sky
Well, I'm amazed

How it all just hangs together I watch the clouds slowly float fly
Well, ain't it great

So here we are now it's got this far
I trust you're all just fine
Ain't this life and place just great
No wonder we just won't get 'nuff time

But though we know we can't stay

The world will still turn I wish you all the best
No need to return leave the past to rest
You just have to earn it's not to get but to give
And there's one thing I've learned

You just got to live
To see the sun go down on everyone
You just got to live
To see that gentle smile and feel alive
You just got to live
To see the moon arise and the stars in the sky
You just got to live
To take the pain sometimes and to leave it all behind

The world will still turn I wish you all the best
No need to return leave the past to rest
You just have to earn it's not to get but to give
And there's one thing I've learned

You just got to live
To see the sun go down on everyone
You just got to live
To see that gentle smile and feel alive
You just got to live
To see the moon arise and the stars in the sky
You just got to live
To take the pain sometimes and to leave it all behind

The world will still turn I wish you all the best
No need to return leave the past to rest
You just have to earn it's not to get but to give
And there's one thing I've learned

You just got to live
To see the sun go down on everyone
You just got to live
To see that gentle smile and feel alive
You just got to live
To see the moon arise and the stars in the sky
You just got to live
To take the pain sometimes and to leave it all behind

You just got to live!
You just got to live


16. SILVERWING

Silverwing see the moon is rising
way up high in the night
it's time to spread your wings
and to fly across the sky
the sun is set and it's fire resting
safe your wings from it's golden glow
so spread your wings to greet the midnight sky

You've been waiting for the sun
to set behind the mountains high so....

Silverwing, spread your wings and fly
Silverwings across the midnight sky
Silverwing, spread your wings and fly
Silverwings across the midnight sky

Fly until the morning when anew the day
will bring the golden fire...

Clouds ablaze the horizon glowing
soon the hour of twilight here
the stars awaiting the end of light and day
soon up high the moon is risen
clear the sky the dark is near
so stand to spread your silverwings again

Silver-child of the moon your time is here
to stand and to spread your wings so...

Silverwing, spread your wings and fly
Silverwings across the midnight sky
Silverwing, spread your wings and fly
Silverwings across the midnight sky

Fly until the morning when anew the day
will bring the golden fire...

Silverwing, spread your wings and fly
Silverwings across the midnight sky
Silverwing, spread your wings and fly
Silverwings across the midnight sky


17. SONG TO HALL UP HIGH

I know you watch over me
Father of all the past
And all that will ever be
You are the first and the last

The watcher of all that lives
The guardian of all that died

The one-eyed God way up high
Who rules my world and the sky

Northern wind take my song up high
To the Hall of glory in the sky
So its gates shall greet me open wide
When my time has come to die!
