Dimmu Borgir : The Gods of Darkness
Lyrics
1. TORMENTOR OF CHRISTIAN SOULS
I could drag you to my chambers
And strip you naked in darkness
I could pull your fingernails out one by one
And rape you till you find no hope
I could rip your guts out
And let you watch me
Sacrifice your unborn child
I could leave you to starve
And even bring you to total silence
For once
For I find no pleasure in your physical pain
I want your christian soul to crumble
Your fucking soul
When I have seen your church go up in flames
And you are weeping I will laugh
When I have seen you mourn over loved ones
I will feel bliss when your mortal soul is in ruins
I will grin in the shadows
For that gives me pleasure
Tormenting a christian soul
2. MOURNING PALACE
Daylight has finally reached it's end
as evenfall strikes unto 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 helpess 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
3. ALT LYS ER SVUNNET HEN
Glinsende manelys ovenfor driver
Frostlagte stier viser vei
Svarte sjeler farer henover natten
Inn gjennom skoddeheim
Alt har svartnet
Alt lys er svunnet hen
Lodig trer vi na inn i riket
I minne om at vare spor blir fulgt
Omgitt av sorgens dis
Skrider ferden frem
Som en skare av lik kledde skromt
Vandrer vi jervens hjem
Brisen forer oss over norske myrer
Forbi hver en takegrend
Med hatet i vare harme sinn
Reiser vi for aldri a komme igjen

5. METAL HEART
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
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. STORMBLAST
Gjennom tidelose morkne drommer
I fuktig hostvind ober landstrakte vidder
Mot Sorias fjellheim
Kommer jeg, en fandens ridder
Glatt er runen pa det hoye fjell
Gnidd vekk av regn og vind
Dragende kraft av ondskap lurer
Her ved trollheims muldne grind
Fortumlet av dette morke byggverk
Med rovet gull fra lyets pakt
Brukt som spott til a senke
Deres murer
Vi grunder over dette riket
Sa vakkert fylt med tidelos 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 endelose svarte minner
Stormblast ut av det sorte indre
Har bergflint rullet fra mo til kneis
Undring og angst samler seg i natten
I morket som ruver om spiret
For ingen dag kan veien hit
Intet lys kan luske frem
Der sorg har beseiret alle gleder
Og bygd et land pa menneskets jord
Fylt med isklad prakt og heder
8. SPELLBOUND
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
