1. MOURNING PALACE

Daylight has finally reached it's end
As evenfall strikes into the sky
Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight
Sickening souls cry out in pain

Whispering voices 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, summoning screams
Waiting for Satan to bless their sins
Blackhearted angels fallen from grace
Possessed by the search for utter darkness


2. DODSFERD

I det mørkeste mørke troner jeg
I mine slaer trer stillheten frem
Faldne engler vokter mine porter
I dødsdalens øde skjønnhet
Har min sjel vandret vill
Mens mørket og sorgen rådet
Tentes hatets flammende ild
I nattens sorte stillhet
Trer mitt tause frem
I mørket flammer et likbål
Nok en sort sjel har vendt hjem
I stillhet følger vi ferden
Til vår sorgsvarte bror
Og ingen tårer faller
Da aske forenes med jord
Vi skal all dele hans skjebne
Vi skal alle følge vår venn
Da Dommedag's klokker ringer
Skal vi alle komme igjen
For å herske


3. IN DEATH'S EMBRACE

By the light of the moon
And the beings of the night
A curse has been laid upon us
To seek and tear celestial gloss to pieces

By the power of death
And the shadow of the reaper
A call has been brought upon us
To complete the infinite fall of heaven

Without the wit or will to end this journey
We continue travelling towards our faith
Harvesting helpless Christian spirits
Raping the sanctity of saints

The heavenly father is streching his hand
Pathetically begging for mercy
We spit and piss on his sacred flesh
As we breathe the breath of the unholy

For with the sign of the pentagram
Hellfire rage is for us to come
As we shall wander the pit

Unhallowed by the infernal one
We are forever captured
By the embrace of death


4. 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

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


5. MASTER OF DISHARMONY

Master of disharmony
Welcome my tainted soul
Take me from the hordes of the living
Into the blessed darkness
Master of disorder
Take my impure flesh
Lead me unto the path of temptation
Save me from cowardness

Master of sin
Take my cursed heart
Bring me where I can find salvation
For I am the damned

Master of death
Take my pitiful life
I am enslaved
I shall never forget the pain

Master of sin
Take my cursed heart
Bring me where I can find salvation
For I am the damned

Master of death
Take my pitiful life
I am enslaved
I shall never forget the pain


6. ALT LYS SVUNNET HEN

Glinsende månelys ovenfor driver
Frostlagte stier viser vei
Svarte sjeler farer henover natten
Inn gjennom skodde heim
Alt har svartnet
Alt lys er svunnet hen
Lødig trer vi nå inn i Riket
I minne om at våre spor blir fulgt
Omgitt av sorgens dis
Skrider ferden frem
Som en skare av likkledde skrømt
Vandrer vi jervens hjem
Brisen fører oss over norske myrer
Forbi hver en tåkegrend
Med hatet i våre harme sinn
Reiser vi for aldri å komme igjen


7. MASTER OF DISHARMONY

Master of disharmony
Welcome my tainted soul
Take me from the hordes of the living
Into the blessed darkness
Master of disorder
Take my impure flesh
Lead me unto the path of temptation
Save me from cowardness

Master of sin
Take my cursed heart
Bring me where I can find salvation
For I am the damned

Master of death
Take my pitiful life
I am enslaved
I shall never forget the pain

Master of sin
Take my cursed heart
Bring me where I can find salvation
For I am the damned

Master of death
Take my pitiful life
I am enslaved
I shall never forget the pain

8. AT THE FATHOMLESS DEPTHS

(Instrumental)


9. NIGHT'S BLOOD

Night haunts and evil lurks in every corner
Like plague it's spreading - I behold
Loneliness, yet with you autumn night as guest
But can you hear my cries?
Permeate me, oh night, as with the forest you did
for heart is cold, cold as ice

I drown in the colour of your eye
for a black heart will only find beauty in darkness
I breathe it's eternity to absorb the sky
where the shadows of death may lie

[Chorus:]
Feel the call - Nocturnal desire
Sorrow's breath - Enchanting cries
Night's blood - Taste damnation's wine
Feel the pain - Nocturnal desire
The devil's path of dark delight
Night's blood - Pure damnation's wine

Eyes are glowing, burn as hell's fire
Mark thy wisdom in my mind

Those who never was born
but whose darkness eternally
devastated the goodness built up through milleniums
No time passed, our victory is eternal
Our scorn, our silence...
A heart dies drowning in the night's blood
Everlasting malice for the wicked soul
Can't resist the night's sweet blood

Loneliness in the embrace of you autumn night
The night that froze my cries
Deep into the woods glows a fading light
I sold my soul, cold as ice

I drown in the colour of your eye
for a black heart will only find beauty in darkness
I breathe it's eternity to absorb the sky
where the shadows of death may lie

[Chorus:]
Feel the call - Nocturnal desire
Sorrow's breath - Enchanting cries
Night's blood - Taste damnation's wine
Feel the pain - Nocturnal desire
The devil's path of dark delight
Night's blood - Pure damnation's wine


10. UNHALLOWED

Pain, plague an pestilence shall sweep through your sight
Grim is the truth that hides behind the fading light
The eyes of the beholder stares empty silent and cold
for the deeds of the dark ones are fearful to behold

[Chorus:]
With liftened dreadful swords we swear allegiance to our lord
We're the unhallowed usurpers of the throne

Dusk will bring the gathered ones upon the feeble men of god
Superior mighty warriors of pure unhallowed blood
Shoulder to shoulder they reign in the darkest of nights
Together at the edge of time, brought forth to slay the light

Thy majesty - our majesty
Sole superior evil itself
We'll be your instrument
and the blade of their damnation

So futile humas on the knees for the satanized
Burning high at the stakes with the love of christ

Do not rest in peace, may your souls all burn black
Your sons and daughters I will kiss....with a poisoned smile
Sing out the pain of your roots that you cannot deny
and we'll crush your worthless prayers of the weak forgotten
lie

The apocalypse is here, oh fools of the withering sky
Encounter darkness as you fall into the endless fire
The jaws of darkness, open wide, lost souls scream out in vain
All will writhe eternity's perpetual infernal pain

[Chorus:]
With liftened dreadful swords we swear allegiance to our lord
We're the unhallowed usurpers of the throne


11. SON OF THE MOURNING

Evil son...
Spread your wings of deepest black
Spit on "god"...
May his lies be forgotten
The son of the mourning
A gift to our earth
Christ stands tall no more
So bestow your force upon us
Gaze into the wall of those restless souls
Eternally, lost in fear of your godforsaken son
You have tasted suffering
That dove of life has died
Parallyzed and terrorized
By the fear you feel inside
Caught within the floods of blood
Evil, departed sea
Immortal but now it’s like to forever bleed!
We saw the truth
And it’s the draining of the blood
Of your false redeemer
The mourning son has now control
So what if it’s evil


12. WHERE DEAD ANGELS LIE

In the dawn an angel was dancing
Surrounded by an aura of light
But in the shadows something was watching
And with patience awaiting the night
Angel whispers: "Mournful night, attractive night
Your dark beauty obsesses me"
An angel bewitched by the shadows
Seduced by the whispering lies

[Chorus:]
A spell was cast an the sky turned red
The angel's heart froze to ice
The blackness that falls is coming to stay
Under the snow lies angels so cold

Dusk has passed and a cold morning breeze
Is sweeping all over the plain
On the ground lies an angel with skin so pale
On her face an image of pain
Snow is now falling to the frozen ground
The angel is covered by white
Frost is spreading across the plain
To welcome the eternal night

The dress is white with crystals of ice
And frozen roses so red
Roses of blood from an innocent soul
On the plain lies an angel dead

[Chorus:]
A spell was cast an the sky turned red
The angel's heart froze to ice
In the gloomy sky black clouds were gathering
The silence was broken by cries
A spell was cast an the sky turned red
The angel's heart froze to ice
In the gloomy sky - The silence where dead angels lie

Touch the snow... Caress the lifeless sculptures
Die!!!

[Chorus:]
The blackness that falls is coming to stay
Under the snow lies angels so cold
Yet with each crystal of frost that is falling
Another story is told
A spell was cast and the sky turned red
The angel's heart froze to ice
In the gloomy sky - The silence where dead angels lie


13. BLACK HORIZONS

From my Tower I behold the landscape below
I see the river of blood in fury flow
I stare into the night, yet my visions clear
From the distant villages every word I hear

[Chorus:]
I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide
I am the great shadow and from daylight in my tower I hide
I have seen the abyss and all that lies within
I am the great shadow and I was born in sin

Thy shadow swept by like an angel fading to grey
Thy eyes were like weakening candles leaving the flames to die
Thy pale cold face, once so full of life
Now its torn as of thorns of ice
Thy towers fell to the ground

[Chorus:]
I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide
I am the great shadow and from daylight in my tower I hide
I have seen the abyss and all that lies within
I am the great shadow and I was born in sin

Yes this is the land, the land of the black horizon
Where the shores are covered with the bodies
of thy followers
Triumphal vengeance, Dethroning the shape of thou
Fade I say, wither away

[Chorus:]
I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide
I am the great shadow, no daylight over my kingdom ride
At the black horizons, my eyes and souls the wind
I am the great shadow and I was born in sin

I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide
I am the great shadow, no daylight over my kingdom ride
At the black horizons, my eyes and souls the wind
BEHOLD THE LAND OF SIN!


14. ELIZABETH BATHORY (TORMENTOR COVER)

[Spoken]: This is the story of Elisabeth Bathori
Her Blood is Ours...
Pure, Hungarian Blood....
Dark Castle / Occult Carols Sound / Women... Crying / Eternally Satisfied / Elisabeth did not rest this night / Her youth ensorcelled through bleak eyes / The dead girls are courting her / Upon deadly mystic circles lines / Pricking needles under ladys nails / Their frozen bodies buried alive

[Chorus]: Oh, how I love to feel your breath / I lust to be the lover of death / Desires become truths / Evil prayers are heard / By Elisabeth Bathori / The countess of my fire / You are her sacrifice / You will give your blood / She bathes in your essence

[Spoken]: Welcome my youth, alike to before / More complete than ever... by blood... / By blood all is cleansed / Oh I feel the magic... I fly.... / Fly towards the moon.... / Countess, it´s your night / Haunted by your wildest desires / Possessed by bestial lust / You are the goddess of love

(Repeat Chorus) / Her mind is insatiable / She craves virgins blood evermore / Her flames will never die / Surrounded by inferial glory / (Repeat Chorus)


15. RETRIBUTION - STORM OF THE LIGHT'S BANE

Morning oh dreadful dawn, spread your pale dim light
Reign for your last time over lands once so bright
But your energy shall be weak, and soon to die
So die in pain my dear, expire, goodbye...
Ages has past since your eyes enlightened the earth
from a source of light that gave all godness birth
But your energy is weak and soon to die
The ground is sour from the evil that here lie

[Chorus:]
I have come to challenge your ways
Light's bane - The Last of your days
Oh broken wings - My darkness enslaves
Allow me to erase your feeble race

Morning, so feeble dawn, spread no pale dim light
You've been breeding for your last time, a source without
might
An epitaph oh lost worthlessness - Still echoes your last
cries
The earth is pure of the evil that here thrives

[Chorus:]
I have come to challenge your ways
Light's bane - The Last of your days
Oh broken wings - My darkness enslaves
Allow me to erase your feeble race

What marks the death of 'god' is the twilight for a dark age
His creation being plagued with the venomous blood of ours
The sky suffocates eclipsed by a black mist of hatred
Where goodness cannot reach the fire burns in dark flames

[Chorus:]
I have come to challenge your ways
Light's bane - The Last of your days
Oh broken wings - My darkness enslaves
Will you allow me to erase your feeble race?


16. THE SOMBERLAIN

I fell deeper and deeper as light now was gone
I could feel the dark embrace my soul
Agony was no more, and so was pain
At this point of solitude I knew I was there
There where I belong
Thus far a long journey through my souls infinity
It has been a journey far beyond mortality
I have found what I wanted, tranquillity
I'll thrive on evil, eternally

I flew over crystal ground
My existence, numb
Over orchards of grievance,
sorrow and tears
This beautiful silence
calls me now
Black fog devours me but I can see it all
The monument of my past,
this land of seven horizons before my eyes
I reach the land of spiritual rest

Its the dawn of descending
- I am the Somberlain
down to evil divine domain

Lord of infernal, gather my strength
Carry me through the gates

Its the dawn of descending
- I am the Somberlain
down to evil divine domain

For I'm eternal night
- I'm the Somberlain
Precede my evil divine domain
