1. PANDEMONIC YELP OF MEPHITIC GOD

When the cold winds rest upon the lake
In lurid moons that cascade the heavens
Deflowering night swept where fevoured swine lay
Flaunting extinction upon its prey
Arcturus is risen
And plunders with his rasp
Dressed in asafoetida
That's spellbound to the dark
Dark magick pleasures weaved
Enslaves myriads from thee
In fervent overture
To slay the messiah
Chaos upon the land
Death reigns supreme
At the gates of damnation
Despondency overshadows salvation
Replete with destruction
God, must, die!
I dwell upon uncharted land
Invoking on repugnant sands
I delve into heaven's womb
And wreak havoc that robs her tombs
Nascent storm clouds gather
In secret like a voyeur
In this secret garden
To prowl her inner sanctum
Star veiled and kept from sight
Defamed and brought to light
Never to repeat
I dwell upon uncharted land
Invoking on repugnant sands
I delve into heaven's Womb
And wreak havoc that robs her tombs


2. SUCCUMBING TO THE UNKNOWN

(Instrumental)


3. AT THE GATES OF AVALON

Alone and deprived in this damp moist pit where I've died
Alone and forlorn, I grip the bones I adore
I'm nothing but a decaying mound of skin and flesh
I am the very heart and soul of death
As the worms and vermin eat my remain
I think back at life and those joyous happy days
And with rapture in heart and a wound to the back she left me
And in spiteful grief now I'm burning
All I see is darkness
All I see is perpetual black
My tears of blood quench her venomous thirst
As she drinks at my dirge
One dark grim night, the moon so full
My boiling rampant hate fulfilled
As I loom over her as she sleeps
I feel a hunger so deep
With a slow thrust of my knife
I end the little putrid whore's life
When the final bell knells and the bitch is in hell
I lookup at the moon and think back at how I fell
My valour, my pride
Replaced with spite and hate
And as she died my time too came
I fared into the storm ridden night
And stood before the grave I dug
Licking the crimson off the steel
Down I go as I kneel
The blade pierces my flesh
Down I go into the murky depths
There I lay
To forever decay


4. THE INSIGHT AND THE CATHARSIS (DIMMU BORGIR COVER)

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 how 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
But 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
