1. HIS MAJESTY AT THE SWAMP

And then, came an angel
Who had a bright key
And he opened the coffins
And set them all free
Then, down a green plain
Leaping, laughing they run
And wash in a river, (and shine)
And Shine in the sun


2. SON OF THE MOON (ACT II)

The demons are rattling their swords
The battle started
In the bowels of the earth
(In the bowels of the Tartarus)
Blasphemous warcries, leper sound
Miasma of a damned soul
The graves are opened

The time stopped
The psalms sound
The abyssis reign of blasphemy
The pleasure of sin, last invocation to thy

The bloody revenge boiled
Pain, hate for them
Who will not see the light again
The darkness is ruling
No mercy to the sacrilege dogs
Fire and leper-curse to them
Black mass, unholy invocation
Last confession, ultimate pain


3. UNHOLY FUNERAL

(Instrumental)


4. LUSTFUL FATHER

Hear his howling cries
Cover all silence of the night
Footprints in the weeping ground
It's the beginning of winter

The season of the wolf
The century of promise
Amon reveals the messiah son
This winter will last forever
Lustful father
Mist in the night
Tholio servant
Engrave the magic spells

The hunter now is the hunted
The forest wears its black
All nocturnal nature
Obey this unutterus born

The visions of our monarchy
Reborn in your eyes
We swear faith to you
Proudly (we'll) fight at your side
Lustful father
Embody like a wolf
Lustful father
Into man's skin

The hunter now is the hunted
The forest wears its black
All nocturnal nature
Obey this unutterus born


5. NIGHTLY KINGDOMS

Such different pictures
The loneliness kills
Waiting for bells to ring
The strikes to be heard
So much coldness circling me
The murmur of the trees
I'm waiting to see you
My eternal destiny!

The nightly kingdoms
The forgotten ones
Dark-dressed warriors
Searching for the key

At forgotten castles
At unholy graves
In my mystic tomb
Where I rest my soul
Ancient event awakes
An agreement signed in blood
Buried testaments revealed

Oh! I see it - in your eyes!
My name is Elrik
King of kings
Look at my works, ye mighty, and despair

Oh! Dark - wizards
Oh! Mighty - lords
You rule now - our planet
As once signed...


6. FLOWERS OF MY YOUTH

Oh! My crushing soul
Through my ebony tears
Falling on the fading
Flowers of my youth

Voices from the dark ruins
Of cirith ungol
Kutulu beckons me
From my darkest dreams

I'm looking at the last
Sunset which descends
Over the purple horizon
The purple horizon of my dreams
But as a vision
Your beauty is fading
Into the depths
Of my obscured soul

And now, the door is locked
Before me, and I still hear
The whispers of Kutulu
Shadows from the past


7. THE RIVER OF SOULS

Unholy dream
Beyond the crucified gods
Unholy awakening
Beyond the forgotten memories
The idol of a false paradise
In the mirror of time
Souls are struggling - silence!
Inflamed from pain

And you are wandering
In an eternal quest
In the forest of souls
Searching salvation
In their shadow realm

Apocryphal invocation
And infernal psalms
Whispers at the wind of doom
Beyond the forgotten realms
Looking in your inner self
You realize, the truth

Your gods will defy
Your existence
In your weakness
You'll worship them
You shall remember
They shall forget
Forever be cursed
Till your soul meets unholiness


8. THE TRESSRISING OF NYARLATHOTEP(ACT I)

Finally from the depths of Egypt
Nocturnal arrival of the strange one
Thou who was worshipped by the nomads
Thou who was followed by beasts

Abyssic born emerging from the sea
Forgotten lands and cold towers
Covered all over with seaweeds
The earth scratched in two weird plains

Circle within circle
Eye within eye
And when the sacred hour comes
From words they passed to obscure deeds
The final step before the apocalypse

Archegonic theory is fallen by reborn
Thy who believed once
Follow the light now
Marking the time to mystical tressbirth

That which saved him
Made him stronger
And he destroyed
Everything he had

The melouzin's child
Is cast on earth
Nothing but shadows waves remains...


9. THE GRIM PALACE

Here then lives alone the king
Looking at the palaces frescoes
Looking at the unspeakable figures
Which slide on damp walls...

The nights that the fullmoon calls you to it's kingdom
Recollecting mystical rites
Sung for them who live beyond galaxies
Beyond the forest of stars

The damned king Sacrob
The ruler who's dreams are occupied by full
Of nightmares his tortured soul seeks for salvation
His thoughts deep in bottomless wells

His will dead and incapable
In front of the kingship of his wild rush
Like a living dead
Who looks for that which will bring him back to live

Like a wandering soul in the labyrinth of knowledge
Seeking for the key of eternal truth
Leaden (once) but (now) grey-green
Because of the years looking

Sacrob's tower rise
In the background dark, thick clouds
In the foothills of an inaccesible mountain
Which leans and it's shadow covers a dead forest That the imbeciles had burned

Streams full of lichen and moss
Full of frogs which with their voice
Sing the strange hymn
Sing the hypnotic psalm

Like being the ones who centuries ago
Listened to the mystical ritual of the people
That glorified the dark lords
Like being a message for those to come and those to dethrone

Shadow and silence wrap like a shroud
The everlasting castle, the King's tower
You hear only the wind blasting
Like an eternal conqueror with his whip

Whipping walls rising
Wishing to demolish
Wishing to liberate souls
Worth of eternal peace
