Discover with courage
While facing the beyond
Uncompromisingly
Everything connects
As you detach

Truth foretold
Truth discovered
Truth always known

All growth comes at a cost
Moving forward means sacrifice
Enduring all paths crossed

Lucifer Lux Lucifer

The shadow is your dragon
Making the darkness conscious
Your wings open wide
Old souls becoming of age

Prosperity comes with a price
All growth comes at a cost
Moving forward means sacrifice
Enduring all paths crossed

Truth foretold
Truth discovered
Truth always known

The secrets of existence
Everything within reach
The beginning is near
The end never draws fear

2. MOURNING PALACE

Daylight has finally reached its end,
as evenfall strikes into the sky.
Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight,
sickening souls cry out in pain.

Whispering voices and summoning screams,
waiting for Satan to bless their sins.
Blackhearted angels fallen from grace,
possessed by the search for utter darkness.

Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace.
Feel the gloom of restless spirits,
hear the screams from the Mourning Palace.
Feel the doom of haunting chants.

Eternal is their lives in misery,
eternal is their lives in grief.
Abandoned in a void of nothingness.
A chain of anger, a fetter of despair.

In this garden of depraved beings,
this unsacred place of helpless ones.
Satan blessed the creatures,
inswathed them in endless night.

Whispering voices and summoning screams,
waiting for Satan to bless their sins.
Blackhearted angels fallen from grace,
possessed by the search for utter darkness.


3. SPELLBOUND BY THE DEVIL

You have returned to the torture-chambers,
to find peace among the rotting corpses.
You have returned to the execution place,
to inhale the smell of blood.

Death and terror rules the land!
We have been spellbound by the Devil.

You have returned,
to the hidden graves only you know about.
You have returned to to face your victims,
and feel sensation of violence once again.

Once again!

Death and terror rules the soul!
You have been spellbound by the Devil.
Murderer, you have returned,
to create fear and sorrow.

Death and terror rules the land!
We have been spellbound by the Devil.


4. THE INSIGHT AND THE CATHARSIS

Passenger on confessional course,
unlock with the key you behold within.
Repair the shadow of your mind
and come awake.

Oh, dreadful angel of mine,
enrich me with the vastness of being.

Rigid Father teach me to comprehend,
I'll commit myself to understand.
To be faithful and the instrument so that the
ones with blindfold can see what I have seen

That there is nothing in between
for I am the accomplice.
Aghast and tender indulged in sin,
embraced by loneliness legions who grin.

I blunder into the realms of slumber,
I collide with the obscure and see the
last fraction of light go by.

Plundering the sanity from the insane,
and providing appearances in black.
Carefully swept in decadent spheres,
faces in this world always remain darkened.

In circles of dominance emotional deeps unite,
fiction and transcendence woven together.
In the essence of purity lies wisdom.
Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions.

What more do you need of proof,
human hands conforming cloven hoofs,
for I know the secrets and lies behind all truths.
Knowledge is power and the power is mine.

It's all mine!

So let the children come to me
and share the limitless ways to infinity.
Escape death and disease and behold
youth and vitality.

Oh, dreadful angel of mine,
enrich me with the vastness of being.

Rigid Father teach me how to comprehend,
I'll commit myself to understand
for I am the accomplice.


5. BLESSING UPON THE THRONE OF TYRANNY

Infected by invalid behaviour,
while capturing the stench,
of divine putrefaction.

Confess to slavery,
for the world saviour.
Give praise and inhale the corruption.

The enfeebled provides the fool,
the disabled provides the tool.
The Apathetic demands the affection,
to those suffering from their own satisfaction.

Devour in self-deceit,
conjure the righteous plague.
Testify today's contradiction,
glorify tomorrows deed.

Inconceivable moral priest,
hide in preferable dress.
Invite to another pleasure feast,
the concealment of joyful laughter.

The enfeebled provides the fool,
the disabled provides the tool.
The Apathetic demands the affection,
to those suffering from their own satisfaction.

The decrepit innocence,
of your correctness and well chosen.
Elicits the source of the need,
for immediate forgiveness.

Submit to no grace,
but the pitiful of your disease.

Apply to join the unlimited disgrace,
and a settlement in the skies.
And turn the confusion among your children,
into self-stimulation.

The incarnation of your prostitution,
the true evil in disguise.

With the ignorance from your cross,
as the witness.
The truth of your tragedy,
make you justice.

In your mirror the high spirit,
of kindness looks like malice.

Condemnation of life by the living dead.
What a premature judgement,
contradiction to the core.

How unfortunate I am!
Cursed to spend time,
on a battle already won.

The shame that will be guarding,
your grave says it all.
Retreat to the crypt,
and make it worthwhile.

Recall my sins furthermore,
but still be watching yours with a smile.

Devour in self-deceit,
conjure the righteous plague.
Testify today's contradiction,
glorify tomorrows deed.


6. FOR THE WORLD TO DICTATE OUR DEATH

Let us sit back and watch death
and destruction's devotees revel,
let us sit back and witness
innocent semen being poured.

Into the arms of Armageddon
let it pour more and more.
Pure fucking Armageddon,
let it pour more and more.

Reason faithfully defiles
on bloodstained hands where
graceful motion are lost arts.

There are only battles to be lost
in the kingdoms of the blind.
For those who seek salvation
in the dust of the earth will only
find wrath in the sands of time.

Engulfed by the desert we
taste death in the dry heat.

Disciples of prophetic ablution
had sworn to let the skeptics bleed
for great are their love for warfare,
henchmen of the disastrous creed.

Henchmen of the disastrous creed!

Watch us all celebrate in their name,
the lambs of our time being slain,
awaiting the final perdition

Awaiting the final perdition!

Defeat against all and everything
for whatever adorned righteousness,
justice never wait for the guilty
to speak the truth.

Into the arms of Armageddon
let it pour more and more.
Pure fucking Armageddon,
let it pour more and more.

For mankind so hated the world that it
gave all it's begotten sons and daughters
that whoever believed the lie to perish
and receive everlasting Hell.


7. THE SACRILEGIOUS SCORN

Have I not been too long in your
shadows of invention and creation?
As I rightfully behold the flesh, fear of the
conscious mind will have you facing away.

My word and world holds ground and is real!
Your world is like floods of poisoned water,
a language spoken with spit from different tongues.

It all seems like an eternity
This battle between us two.
Good and evil, me and you!

Time has come to step up and
take back what you took from me.

My word and world holds ground and is real!
Your world is like floods of poisoned water,
a language spoken with spit from different tongues.
You can never corrupt me again!

Time has come to step up and
take back what you took from me.
Time has come to step up and
take back what you took from me.
You can never corrupt me again!

I protect every man guilty of sin,
the ultimate sin being me.

The vapor from the plague that
infested my mind, body and soul
obscured my view from wisdom.

The mist that had me
wonder in resentment cleared
and troubles me no more.

Have I not been too long in your
shadows of invention and creation?
As I rightfully behold the flesh, fear of the
conscious mind will have you facing away.


8. GATEWAYS

The core principle of freedom
is the only notion to obey,
the formulae of evolution and
sin leading the way.

The rebirth is near completion as
we slowly awaken from slumber.
As we slowly awaken from slumber!

Gateways...

The malpractice of the spirit ends
when the gift is once again attained,
no rules or restraints are longer valid
when the ancient future is reclaimed.

Gateways...

No rules or restraints
are longer valid when the
ancient future is reclaimed.

It's all there for the eyes that can see,
the blind ones will always suffer in secrecy for
it is the omen of what lies submerged breeding
untouched within us bleeding.

The core principle of freedom
is the only notion to obey,
the formulae of evolution and
sin leading the way.

The rebirth is near completion as we
slowly awaken from slumber to receive
the light that shines in darkness,
the light that shines forevermore.

Forevermore!

Be the broken or the breaker,
be the giver or the undertaker.
Unlock and open the doors,
be the healer or the faker.

The keys are in your hands,
realize you are your own sole
creator of your own masterplan.


9. METAL HEART (ACCEPT COVER)

It is 1999
The human race has to face it
They are confronted with the truth
It's secret--mysterious

A surgeon said it in the news
The human race is dying
But the result is no disease
Searching for you

Metal heart--metal heart
They found it everywhere
Metal heart--metal heart
Lifeless piece of steel

The scaring fact was even told
Total confusion
They found the same nightmare
Heartbeats--time bombs

Metal heart--metal heart
Unplugged they're dying
Metal heart--metal heart
Unplugged they die

Metal heart--metal heart
They found it everywhere
Metal heart--metal heart
Lifeless piece of steel

Metal heart--metal heart
Unplugged they're dying
Metal heart--metal heart
