The veil of nocturnal beauty
Drowns the daylight flames
And so IT broods beyond the depths
of the horizon never seen by the eyes of man
Awakened by the twilight's kiss
The nightly rebirth of evil
The paleness ITself has risen
From IT's slumber to reach out in IT's full shape
The midnight strikes again
The wicked ones has returned
December rises the damnation
Like a black burning dagger IT ripp...
In the black depths of my very soul
A vast emptiness lies so arcane and cold
Caressed by the icy touch of melancholy
Like the sweetest of poison it permeates me
No more love, no more life
I remain cold and dead deep inside
Through my ruptured veins I leave this cursed world of light
To embrace the infernal fire... and so I fall
Encircled by shadows as I descend
Portrayed in the most twisted of...
As the twilight gave birth to the night
I walked into the forest
The twisted trees clawing at the skies
These are my true domimions
The mist glows red and ablaze the sky
and the funeral wind blows cold
This is where I shall sacrifice
Here I will end my mortal life
Seduced by the October moon
drowning in it's frozen grace
Tempting my nocturnal lusts
Bathing my pale cold face
These dark forests ...
Droning winds sang my name in choirs so silent and grievous
Imploring me to awaken, to enlighten my moonlit eyes
Famished, grinning in pain, branded stiff by those scorching rays
In vicious grief these tears I shed, when beholding my fallen realm
In shadows entangled, in solitude I mourn
Cold hymns of obedience engulves my resurrected soul
Feed me... fill my lungs with the souls of the sacrifi...
Your final moon sets
On this night you shall die
Your pathetic merciful god, where is he now?
He didn't listen to your cry?
We will come to you like thieves in the night
To extinct, to erase you
Filled with pure darkened wrath
Filled with passion to murder
Sons and daughters of christ
On the night of all nights die
Feel the kiss of the scythe
In your horror-filled eyes it gleams bright
You wil...

Winter ice - terminal frost
Closing eyes of equinox
Dimensional change - darkening skies
The sphere is shackled till dusk
Prophet dreams - ride the winds
As black holes open for devouring
Universal chaos in the realm of time
Surface of earth - covered in rime
From beyond enter the horror
Of a dark and hideous nature
The fall of man is now at hand
Awakened fro...
Skin, torn from the flesh of the petrified
Drenched by death and absorbed by its coagulating wood
When the final nails falls into its place and the devil stands by the helm
Then, the howling winds of damnation shall whine...
Everywhere sounds the moanings from countless burning souls
Screaming in hate and pain, prepared to row into the final flames
As if shredding the sky, the mast reaches hig...
I stared into the broken mirrors of the universe
Dragged further unto the grasp of obscurity
Called by voices, called towards sin
As a black shape of death he sweeps across the land
Leading mankind into damnation
Mother earth screams out in vain...
...as we desecrate her clean soil with evil
The mighty mountains tremble and fall
and light is no more
A shape of black ripps the sky
The spawn of ...
Scorching heat brings tears to my eyes
As I follow the shadows
Down below through the moonlit abyss
Riding the winds of damnation
Posessed by the hell-fires
Enthralled by its glow
Receiving sulphur salvation
As I hear the crying voices of countless lost souls
Embracing The apocalypse
The heavenly realms once divine
Will crumble to dust as I return with fire
Punishment in its purest form
Cleans...
Crawling in grief
Across the distant fields
I am the desire of which engrawed thee...
The formation was set
An enormous storm arose
As the thirleenth night ablazed
with it's web of obscurity
Oh you glorious blackened,
infernal screaming belle
Reveal the name,
unleash the path of bereavement
I have found the key, the key to the
ancient flame
Awaiting the sight to dwell in mournful
immortality
L...
The slench in the air
is cold as a winter night
The loss of my inner guest
The fallen star faded away...
Deeper, deeper I sink
into the embrace of sorrow
The winds of liars caresses me
Down here in the crying
valley of the dreamers
Detest and yearning tears me apart
I can see the thousand points of light
up in the burning sky
And I knew: it has to be done...
The salt of anquish
fills my bleedi...
Oh queen of the night, hear my call
I raised my sword as many times before
Calling for the empress to return
Opening my veins releasing my blood
And with the burning midnight mist she
came, pale white skin and
eyes of blackest flames
Nocturnal goddess of the deep
Mistress of the ancient dark
I fell into her cold embrace
The enchantress of the stars
Giving her what was hers
Pain sweet as silver...
There will be no beauty
The secrets of the unborn
An angel's cries with it's shattered wings
The holy blood is spilled
I fell from grace, I fell into the
deepest abyss
The evocations wrath hit me like a fist
To burst out in scars of distant grief
The August flames swallowed me with
it's kiss
Never to be found is the key to purgatory
I felt the winds of death and it's fury
They approached from ...
See, disaster is spreading from nation to nation
Now the great yellow tempest bears witness of annihilation... of death
Worthless replicas made to adore
Your scattered herd are a sign of times forlorn
As wolves we come with murder in mind to wipe our your kind
Blood shall smear the earth, and the children of heaven will mourn
Gaia, your soil bleeds black
Your womb shall be the massgrave for al...
Oh, glorious morning-star, my pridefull light
Cast down in the abyss lord of fire, lord of night
Unveiled in a vision
Poison my heart and soul
Come forth and set your child free
Kill all once pure inside me
You call from shadows
You haunt me throughout my sleepless nights
The demons nightsky prophecy
My soul is thee?
Horn Crowned Majesty
Oh, beautiful nightshade, lightbearer so bright
Great fa...
Humanity what have you ever done for me?
Denounced and cursed since my birth for I am not like thee
A proud descendant of the ancient seed
Driven forth by the screams of my enemies
I am the plague that shall grace you with an early grave
Exterminate - bring you all into damnation
In an orgasmic rush of pain I mark my coming in crimson strays
Fools I shall rid myself from the thorns pierced in ...
A chilling wind grasp my soul as I walk through the twilight gates
Choirs of grief are heard from the spirits of the ancient breed
Now I know what lies beyond, now I know my fate
To dwell in the fathomless depths of eternity
Into the cold voids of eternity
Landscapes clad in the frozen veils of dusk
Spiritual forests and naked fields - they greet me infernally
And so I saw demonic forces risin...
Enter Daughters of death, seducers from the limbonic kingdom
Angels of hell, their lips speak of perdition
Inhaling searing ashes of their temples burning bright
False prophets and purity, succumb to the daughters of night
Twisting feeble seraphs, they are screaming as they fall
In tearing pain their souls are reaped by their nocturnal call
They rejoice as they watch into the cauldrons of prot...
I stand above the norm
Reptile in human form
With jaded eyes I look upon
The rest of you with scorn
For all that I can see
A world of enemies
And mindless flocks of easy prey
The catalyst for my needs
I bring the secrets of the grave
It's yours to keep if you choose to follow me
Just close your eyes and the last thing that you'll feel
A ravenous kiss of steel
The beauty of an opened ribcage
It...
Mankind despised
Taste the anger of mine
Sheer worthlessness colours the aura of thine
The ground that you walk is the ground where you'll die
Black angels smile at your painful demise
Taste the venom of mine
These words I speak are the words of your demise
Taste the venom of mine
Silence is shattered by the truth I reveal
I'm cold burning hate
The flesh you possess is the uttermost waste
My p...
Hear the howlings in the night
I'm one with it's might
Enchanted by the calling cries
As I gaze into the sombre skies
Awaiting the shining,
the fire neverseen
Waiting for the darkened path which'll
lead me straight
to the one who dance in my dreams
In surrounding flames I must be
wrapped
Wolves run by my side
As I walk towards eternity
In hate they'll gather with my shadows
as the moon arise
A...
I have seen the most beautiful light
Since my birth It's been possessing my mind
I've lashed myself, I have opened my veins
Cursed my blood in grief
As a shadow of death, the repaer from the tales of past
I've been lurking in the shades of Thy creation
Feared by most, hated by all, loved by none
A destiny in solitude
Pariah I am, rejected by my race
I shall triumph at last
I damn myself to fir...
The gate rose before him
In stood there open wide
A bloodstained portal of might
His travel to the land unknown
I awakened from this dismal dream
the same as thousand times before
This sight is so impure
So filled with mourning and with grace
It cries a message to me
of which I cannot ever grip
A man and this enermous gate
with his name on it written in blood...
I fall to me kness
Spelling my ...
All you see is a shell
there is nothing left inside
I'm dead to this world
I'm driven by a yearning to end all life
Tears of joy in my eyes
as you scream, as you die
I have blown out the candle
I have extinguished the flame of life
For I am sworn to the fallen
And their words they are mine
That's why I dominate, that's why I remain
Words of self-hate and horrors, are the teachings that I procl...
Among evil gods I sleep
Their ancient hymns were my dreams
But the vast and cold forest beckons
So I rose with the funeral moon
From my coffin of blackest slone
From the crypts which for aeons
embraced me
Through the portals and into the
frozen night
It's calling for me...
In darkness reborned
Through the midnight spheres I dance
Spreading my wings
Caressing the black infernal night
"From a ti...
I've seen the place where they meet, I know where it lies
Where ancient demons gather, where angels die...
The darkest pits of the abyss, where flames burns bright
Where satan reigns in terror, there's eternal night
I invoke the elder to lead me, into that place
Drain myself from blood, and drown in sulphur grace
I read the signs and blackened the earth with the magic of mine
I saw the gates o...
And then she came forth, the forest goddess
Her crying hymns were calling for me
I followed her through the eternal vast forest
And so, so I found myself lost there in...
Nightchildren bring my words
Howling them through the dark
The time is here for my return
With the shadows I walk
Twilight shrouds the earth
As always when I'm here
Night spreads her wings for me
They call me father
I Have Come To Reap
Flowers wither where I walk
Dying of my caress
Summer sheds her tears
As I kiss her to her death
Pulling her dying remains
Into my cold embrace
No more colors b...
Once embodied in celestial light, now torn asunder and cast aside
Like the feeble prey they are, they are ravaged without compromise
Behold the signs of their defeat, angels slaughtered and left to bleed
All that's left are the echoes of their cries, the dirge of a now lost breed
Flesh ripped from the sacred bones
Set free by the ravenous hunger of crows
Broken wings drenched in black seed
As ...
