Izakaron Chaoschrist 1. "Hunting on Troyan Path" (Lyrics: Morkh) 2. "Aphrodite of Hatered" (Lyrics: Warzlav) Annihilating midnight Whose tunes were breeding within? When Thou wast awaken'd I'll aspire on black wings Away from that curs'd place Where Thou hast died Who shalt be waiting for me? Thou art gone and the world hath sunk in the vortex I shall draught my inspiration I shalt entwine Thy essence with death But am I granted the time to eliminate My creation before I die In the incessant oblivion? Thro' the fireworks of dawn I heard the groan of eternity And saw the angels of my passion fall O Aphrodite, Goddess of my hate I shall enslave Thee in the triumph of summer In the spires of winter and autumnal tears... With an evergrowing sorrow O Aphrodite, Goddess of my wrath Of my swaying unnatural state When Thy spectre is sent by the moonlight Will I see Thee again? Below countless summits of mountains Beneath the grim waves, Drowned in my seas The arcanum of vastness is conceal'd By the gleaming of the conjur'd trees Angels smil'd just once Unbinding me from my carnal chains By the touch of their divine wings "Fantasy strikes me by its frenzied miracles All that was impossible, now is a part of the endless world of darkness and light. I rule this Earth by the magic sceptre of desires. A giant turns into worm, flesh - into ashes... I compress the cosmos by my lust for the constancy of universal horror. I enslave the worlds, that aspire to ressurect by tytanic blast. The things created by nature will fall into primordial darkness: The moment of initiation into mystery. The glorious pace of my ominous hate. Seven ways lead from the coil of useless flesh to the place beyond the veil, where my Aphrodite is dancing amongst the dead." O Aphrodite, Goddess of my hate I cry out Thy name from the chasm of my fate In raven's pride and his baleful croak Our power is gather'd Our dominion over the Earth - The instant of the lives we possess The splendour of the beauty hath reach'd my soul The soul of my neverceasing hate O Aphrodite, Goddess of my love A vulture teareth asunder a dove But there's no suffering in the dead embrace So let the cosmos swallow itself The essence of Thine is vanish'd within The sounds of my odiferous prophecy I grieve not over my defeated hate For I am Hate itself 3. "Woods of Thy Might" (Lyrics: Raattent/ Lyrical concept: Morkh) Lost in the woods answers I seek The gateway to all, the entrance shalt rise before me 'Tween two sacred firs I step forward... to Thee O vigilant forest of might, beyond time Thou dwellest Roots of Thine trees binding my feet Branches and leaves shalt twine rings around me The murk of the conjur'd crowns lightenth my eyne Embracing the spirit of wood, I drink of Thy might Underneath, where no sun stayeth On the pagan ground the forest eternal Where blood runth thro' all times The portal engrav'd in my heart Ages hath pass'd - all is the same For millions of years Thou stand still calling our names The Home of the gods who are set to rule the lands The North and the South, the West and the East Thou commandst Speak to me, Master of elves Show me Thy marches and thorns Send forth Thy wolves for my blood Grant me to hold the wisdom forlorn Drown me into the deepest mere Lead me to the grimmest gorge within Thy very heart Let me behold Thy runic treasures Veil me with fogs O Woods of Thy Might High to the stars, wide to the seas Forest uniting the times and the souls Black as the skies pierc'd by the trees Breeding Thine magick, Thou holdst me in thrall Once having pass'd thro' the gates of Thy realm I merg'd as one with the essence of Thine I am the part of the forest myself Rustling my leaves as a Hymn to Thy Might 4."Thou art Incarnated Souls" (Lyrics: Morkh/ Based on E.F. Russel's "The Only Solution") He is alone in space where no one dwells Neither voice nor whisper neither handgrasp Nor other heart's warmth in the solitude of the eclipse Imprisoned in the obscure void of a voiceless denial No pity or sympathy of the other soul to be met But a ghastly shadowed night - burning nothingness Having descended into darkness like the one Who has lost his sight and lost the signs to be followed I am Creator of a myriad souls of mine I am Creator of infinite views The force is held within the stream of his own fantasies Transforming cosmic desires into astray reality Creating an infinite dream of a new place to live for him He's intent to disintegrate into countless pieces, multiple forms He will sow the seeds of foe straight amongst them He will sow the seeds of war cold and blackest He will weave the threads of fate inside the great one He will sow the seeds of peace and reap the harvest "I will ensnare them with ignorance..." "Thou art Incarnated Souls..." "...but allowing to acknowledge..." "...Thou art Master of Eternity..." "...everything...everything anew" And now the time has come when there's no need in personality But a myriad of living beings yearn to unite forerver Reality is to be born out of his fantasy He gazed mightily into darkness and uttered: "Let there be light" I am Creator of a myriad souls I am Creator of infinite views ...and the light appeared... 5. "The Origin" (Lyrics: Morkh) Milleniums turn to sand Behesting the souls of the ashes begrim'd Vague dreams of god dwell within them all Head for the depths, for the widths, for the times His poetry landscapes are deserts of naught Seeking his name 'neath the names of untrue His trident did rise again To pierce dimensions, nebulars with lethal breath of chasmic starless cold The being who is the oldest of times Lurking in the beings who multiply and unify, erecting the glorious reign His name spoken words Finding their way thro' the burning ordelesness Supressed by collision of wills by even sealed... Souls of reddening skies Upon this necklace they thread as stones Submerge in the gloam of dimmed luminaries In galaxies savouring horror Cosmos in crystals of possession reflected Invicible torrents, fierce sounds of Chaos Infinity born of perfection enthroned The forefather who let them drink of his essence Had sent them to wastelands, their lives - hatred's own! Vague dreams of god dwell within them all Head for the depths, for the widths, for the times His mask cracks Revealing the altars of ire unleashed Devouring desires born of the past Into the glory of unity does he arise! Sans mercy I contemplate Vanity swirling and raging in me My dust comprises his entirety For I am the Source, I am the Key, I am the Primal Chaos My poetry's landscapes are wastelands of Un The name of all gods are compelled by my own Eternally do I change To spawn dimensions, nebulars by cursed song of chasmic starless cold The being I am older than old Blasphemy sans shapes or forms Pulsation of unknown tytanic Chaos 6. "I am of the Serpent" (Lyrics: Raattent/ Lyrical concept: Morkh) "You all are flesh that hath of my blood appear'd Your words to me bespoken hath the eery clash with light betokened" Where all pagan paths cross Where all olden warriors meet And torrents collide Thitherwards I turn my feet The Welkin's tongue - thundering swords The Earth's tongue - beast's shriek (My mother tongue) That I spake when Rus' was born Immortalized for their thousandbrave rites Ancestors glorious rise from the sea Their dagger-sharp voices pronounce words of Thine Beryhm'd in legends old Soul of Wolf and Raven Again as in times of yore Soul of Wolf and Raven Zmei Ognennyi Wolk Soul of Wolf and Raven We call to Thee Soul of Wolf and Raven The one who guideth as at war Thousandfac'd serpent leadeth us unto war Beclouded stare of His bale-burning eyes Of all Heathen temples revealing the lore Beryhm'd in legends old "The time that holdeth all times shalt out of fog emerge The millenial dreams of false light by my venom shalt be scorch'd" Wolves aflame We shall stalk thro' sylvian monoliths Ravens valorous We shall fly o'er deepest seas Serpents unseen We shall crawl into open mouths In the heart of hearts of the white plague Our host - the armours by grim runes enforc'd The htonic horde hath for vengeance return'd Ire-storming hiss shalt be hear'd from inside Their demise shalt be my breathren and I 7. "The Profound" (Lyrics: Morkh) Swart suns' throne my flesh doth skrew 'Midst the stellar wisdom seas How bittersweet is the triumph's taste as I wend my way The hidden stare beholdeth Tenebrae of untime passing forth Streameth to me thro' my pain's design Fears of eld ornate my soul with a greater lore Thence the night granteth yawning graves O Truth-sans-end Thy name be chasm for mortals I thread once more the eldritch path to the realms beneath My fall eternal, this fall - life immortal Hark to the black spheres' curse of the curious race of the worms Dimensions filth'd by tytanic wrath Unfurl the key to the earthly being And galaxies rap'd vail in awe before me The seven seals (of reincarnation) I wield Words of Woe unto suns and orbs And therewith I chide them forth "O Ye hwa peynen endleas ofercwoman Hwa werre steorra onyean wonnon Hwa afrehwoer dead ond blod swinnan..." Blackwhirlwind breathing outer Chaos Wherein I, timeless abide "O Ye secree tusendfaced Hwaem eal ayet Tac min gyft cyndliz" 8. "Cold Kingdom" (Lyrics: Warzlav) I see the tears of enthralling silence I hear its cold soundless might It watches me from peaks of reachless mountains And I cognizes the verges of its bottomless being In the dismal gleam of a writhing moon A grim shining of frost-bound rime... Waves of distress wash the bated nature Awaiting the soundblast of dawn Where northern spirits call... They call me! Landscapes cut through my soul In ages of frozen shadows I was born My heart of the North shining through primal snow Now I can hear Winter?s calling horn I am alone To stand amidst perrenial trees At befogged and time-veiled Svarog?s throne Under the blazing skies Forever shall I remain Deepest mirror-lakes reflect The splashes of constellations Forsaking their flaming bodies With the sparkles of burning stars Exhausted... they long For the enshrouding mere of rest Victims of the tired empyrean Illume me with fountains of light! ?Aurora Borealis, draw apart the boundaries of the everlasting aeon of stillness!? Atoms of the world in the chasms of space Hark to the mourning of the ethereal elements And spread the streams of malign wizardry Throughout the spanless snowy realm A vehement multitude of silvery splendour Lies in the gorges of highlands, embraces the forests age-old... Lo! The blizzard is raving in silence The breath of life beneath the bowels of this land... ...Enchanted forevermore!... Out of the depths of time, covered with dust of a million years? wisdom Unknown planets of yore born, wander eternally in the outer space They wot there?s only one Promised Land Where strange sadness is born in my heart Making hear the quiet and the whispers And see its diamond tears Under the reign of winter cold 9."Benighted/ At the 9th Gate" (Lyrics: Morkh) The fourth ignited star did fall another time So flamingly enlightening my raptur'd eyes The daggers drew their paths upon my skin Thus showing triumphant unlight Foreseen eternities ago And now unfolding fragments to my life To testify the timeless sacrifice Of majesty of countless crowns of earth Farther than vestures of night are the gates Dreaming dead crawl thy kingdomwards Enter beyond the wraith-way gate! Near than spaces of crucifi'd world To fiends unrestrain'd unfurl their trace Darkness' beloved my wisdom flareth I am benighted Betid by darkness, though I am He myself The eightfold art my flesh now doth begird Out of these worlds Magnificence be heard Though worlds once weeping into dead now turn'd "Thy flesh be daughter of dust Thy name upon the water's be inscrib'd And paradise of thine be one Of those tales told On shores of Chaos Unrivall'd" Within the shrine amidst the forests of mine In icy slumber bleedeth from my eyes An astral passage to the 9th gate Snow'd by time Herald of enshadowed spheres Tyrannic scourge of waels, Word of Unrivall'd Chaos Whose face to mirrors sworn In times I drown Verily am I deity within my own self Skewering a thousand incarnations By the palm of Chaos bless'd Capturing the realms in my possession Moonlight Thy spectre shalt sent Ere I invoke Thee again The wraith-way gate receive And mortals' dawn is torn Beyond retrieve ____________________ All music by Vesgoth Additional musicians: LIATHA - deepest background synth RAATTENT - background growl on 3 & speeches on 2, 7, 8
