1. RITUALS OF MARDUK

Fear the power of Marduk,
Whose soul belongs in hell

The Crown of a thousand thorns
Seventh beast of hell
Make your presence known
Reveal your spirit to be seen

(Recite the) incantations
As they are written, incantations
The blood is the seal

I have chosen
The lands of the lords
Ravaged by evil spells
Scorched black, hellish fires
Descent from the realm of the eternal flame flame flame

lleH ni sgnoleb luos s'ohw
kudraM fo rewoP eht raeF

Knowledge of the spells
That causes inhuman plaques
Their unholy ceremonies
To touch a thousand years of gloom, years of gloom

Sorrow, cruel fellowship
Priestess in the vault of death, death

Kill me... Kill me... Kill me

The grimoire of ritual conjurations
Raises diabolical textures and haunted melodies

The liturgy of slaughter
Established by the gods
Re-enters the Great Time, by the ritual
Order of nature the projection of the euphoria

Fear the power of Marduk whose soul belongs in hell
Fear the power of Marduk, defeater of total chaos


2. HIGHER PERFECTION

The pale blue moon
Shines over me
From a distance through the stars
Of dark groves and grotesque trees

Uncounted eons of eternity
Instant as the stars full light
Still shines, still shines
Thrown into the deep again

Blood chilling death

But remember that darkness
Shall always be with us

Immortal Possession
Creates Epic Fears
Darkness Surrounded
Summon by Blood

Draw them into the dark worlds
Searching for a higher perfection

We are warriors of the wastelands
We found the perfect race
Roamers of the vast spaces
Travelers for many ages
We are the unknown arcane
Of upper air and cryptical sky

Reflect the titanic significance of dreams

Unknown to man
The arch of silver bright
Unknown to them
The rays of the moony main


3. THE ALGOL PLANET

Those who rises
Flowing on a stream
Of Universal Darkness,
The Earth of a thousand worms
Unknown to man, not created by gods

Burn the light through cosmic mists
Total Eclipse of the dying sun

A Haven for the outcast,
The elder among the elder
Long before time... creation times

This long forgotten world
In which I was born
I swear by the treasure within'
The gates to the outside
Has opened far too long
There is a demon among us

Uncreated but alive
Incarnated as bastard rats
Tracking the measures
For a new direction
Burn the light
Through cosmic mists

The orientation of the orbits
No star like other stars
Algol, is no demon at all
Algol, is no demon at all, but a true friend

The people of the wastelands
Chaos in the southern states
Shadows of existence
Determinate to the gutter

Justify sweet thoughts that move
Breast of man to meet thee !
And with holy bliss of love
Bear him up to greet thee !
Victory, Spawned at the dawn of ages In days of total darkness

Creation times
Those who rises
Flowing on a stream
Of Universal Darkness
The Earth of a thousand worms
Unknown to man, not created by gods


4. COVER HER IN BLOOD

She is at peace
Where she is sleeping
Her pale hands folded - in her shroud
And i'm wandering - in the World

She heard as standing - on the shore
A bell above - (hear the call of ''come away'') The waster toll

She is not breathing anymore
Her gladness is gone
Leaving beautiful memories behind.
Gave her life for a greater goodness

They covered her
With lenen white
And laid her down on a bed of roses
Loosened out her glorious hair
With candless at her head

Remembering - the sacrifice
Of bleeding love
Makes a sad melody - in my heart

Now life is breathed on the glass
The World that was not, comes to pass
A single peal of bells below
These are not the bells I know

Slumbering demons, call forth the awakening
The time is now

Lie in wait - for a thousand years
About the boundaries - of the world

To walk the earth once more

The fiddle has a mournful sound
Playing in the hills below
I would lay with her in blood
And who is there to say me no

I would lay down in the dark earth
For sorrow bid me now depart
And the remembering of her sacrifice


5. DEAD SUN FESTIVAL

(Instrumental)


6. SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT

The root of violence
Natural pleasures
Commit a sin
Out a hate

Chaotic systems, perfect knownledge
Intelligence is enthralled in sleep
The dismembodied body
Lingers on earth

Conditions of nothingness
Without form, and void
When all things were in disorder
All the measures (and harmonies)

The existence of souls
Remains unknown
Spiritual development continues after death
A superior grade of consciousness
Return to the Spiritual Realm

Undeserved grace for salvation
Those still in darkness - a spirit prison
The dead, they are conscious of nothing at all
Temptation is the constant desire

Reincarnation,
To another world
Descending,
Into the world of fire

Reason shall be reached
And Darkness shall lay upon us all
When we fully comprehend
We must wonder once more

Cross the Styx, Cross the Styx


7. AMONG RAVEN

The day is done
Adn Darkness rise
From the wings of Night
The angel falls down

And his eyes have all the seeming
Of a demon that is dreaming

They bleed
On-through the corridors of pain
They bleed
They cannot escape through time

They bleed
On-through the corridors of pain
They bleed

And the Ravens
They still sitting but never flitting
In the darkest shadows
I am dark, but lovely... because the sun has tanned me
Burned and purified, by the mighty blood-red sky

Messengers of death, Eaters of carrion
Ravens will descend upon the lands of the wicked
Little back demons
Stop watching us
Never, never, nevermore

StSwallow me, ravens eyes
Aggressive omnivore
Without a care of the world
Come down the trees

The birds of time
Grow dimmer - as they hunt
They witness the horrors that struck
Of which words cannot speak

The black birds of dark prophecy
Clever and fearless

Observers of time
Smell the scent of death
Upon a prey, before they die
Never, never, nevermore

Swallow me, ravens eye
Aggressive omnivore
Without a care of the world
Come down the trees

They bleed
On-through the corridors of pain
They bleed
They cannot escape through time

They bleed
On - through the corridors of pain
They bleed

Swallow me, ravens eye
Aggressive omnivore
Without a care of the world
Come down the trees


8. MATAGATSUBI

Ancient dark woods
Scarve in the stones
Thy fiber net - the dreamless head
Dreamless head

The seasons brings - the cold again
(And brings) the firsting - to the flock
In the dust.

In the dust of the Earth
That beats out
The little lives of men

What will I find
In the highest place
The future is written
Centuries towards the end of time

Sorrow, cruel fellowship
Priestess in the vaults of death
Bitter and sweet in a breath
Whispers from thy lying lips

Shall I take things so blind
Embrace her as my natural good
Or crush her like a vice of blood
Upon the treshold of the mind

Distorting the straight and clear
Matagatsubi, the curved spirit,
Matagatsubi, in his kingdom of the dead
Matagatsubi, the curved spirit,
Matagatsubi, in his kingdom of the dead


9. MULTIVERSE (ANOTHER TIME AND SPACE)

Absence of light.
The precense of shadows
The origin of the World,

A closed universe with zero energy
Exploded from a single point... in time and space

The distances between the galaxies
Increase with time,
Dark area has limited light sources,
Making things hard to see.
We are created by dead gods
Enter a state of zero-energy
The rise of the universe
Towards higher stages of consciousness

From the corner of our consciousness
We ride our Swords and prepare for the end
Evolves towards higher forms of complexity
Stellar black holes in closed systems
The Omega Point unites creation
Close to the critical value

The Earth turns red, the sun is dead,
By the energy of light

The molecules in the early Solar System
Broken apart by the Sun's rays

The molecules in the early Solar System
Broken apart by the Sun's rays
Blowing away the atmosphere
The stellar wind rages on
