1. 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


2. STORMBLÅST

Gjennom tidløse morkne drømmer
I fuktig høstvind over langstrakte vidder
Mot Sorias fjellheim
Kommer jeg, en fandens ridder

Glatt er runen på det høye fjell
Gnidd vekk av regn og vind
Dragende kraft av ondskap lurer
Her ved trollheims muldne grind

Fortumlet av dette mørke byggverk
Med røvet gull fra lysets pakt
Brukt som spott til å senke
Deres murer

Vi grunder over dette riket
Så vakkert fylt med tidløs skumring
Som en stjerne i tomsindighetens juv
Det bringer frem en nattlig mimring
Over tanker fra en vissen tid

Drott til himmels er det reist
Av tidens endeløse svarte minner
Stormblåst ut av det sorte indre
Har bergflint rullet fra mo til kneis

Undring og angst samler seg i natten
I mørket som ruver om spiret
For ingen dag kan veien
Intet lys kan luske frem

Der sorg har beseiret all glede
Og bygd et land på menneskets jord
Fylt med iskald prakt og heder


3. ENTRANCE

Soul on departure 666,
onward into another existence.
A trip far beyond all pleasant dreams,
a voyage through desolation sights.

Inner transformation,
subconscious light.
In the glance fields of fires,
in the distance meadows of mists.

Where minds being enshrouded,
in complete night.

The fading of love,
life and light.

Wandering an endless journey,
dead within a trace.
Entering a lost dominion,
soulless and free.

Visiting a foreign place,
but yet so known.

Another dimension,
opens for me to see.
Heaven sure ain't made,
for me to be.

Heaven sure ain't made,
for me to be.

Soul on arrival 666,
one short step from unhallowed ground.
The ground of a kingdom come.

Dead spirits communion,
unorthodox profane void.

Gardens, temples, palaces,
I have seen them all!
In search for insanity,
sanity slowly drowns in trance.


4. 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.

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.


5. BEHIND THE CURTAINS OF NIGHT - PHANTASMAGORIA

A mental inner vortex,
as possessions through a wolf's eye.
Envisioning the eclipse,
no longer to be blinded by a sunrise.

In this final benediction,
confronted by mirage of imminent mortality.
Time's set to end the suffering, so follow.

I will cherish the secrecies of hearts!

Chased by the black shepherds,
behind curtains of night.
Been found as a tool in their seduction,
fatal haze.

An escape into abomination.
Perished to phasma,
a syndrome of another aeon.

Soul-obsequial inhesion!

Resurged in torrents,
of abysmal thoughts.
Lost in a helix, blackest might!

In stealth I do seek deliverance.
In phantasmagoria, vortex utopia.


6. 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.


7. 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.


8. 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 -- timebombs

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