Galvez : all True Axes of Darkness, Hatred and Madness, keyboards Adrian Letelier : Bass of Depths Session Drums of Doom by Alessio Ego Sum Resurrectio Christianic Indulgence Pray to your mighty god And I will pray to mine Behind sense I will stand True to life, away from Christianic indulgence Follow me through the darkness I will enjoy all the falseness True sirens of pleasure awaits In an eternal sea of madness and sorrow I will lay my candid soul to rest... Fail and the truth I will tell I am not afraid to try again Confessions of a profane land At the age of the fallen cross A century of written denial Reveals the reprisal of an ancient betrayal Crucidiction What reveals the cross Once upon it you cry A piece of truth for the sinner A chapel's chants You pray for the dead and their remains True confessions Cardinal sin behind the curtain Hidden sins, a forbidden wine For the lord Condemned to pray words of praise For salvation Then you feel free to obey and worship Your saviour In repentance you call yourself for a prayer But deep inside your honest mind Contrixion dwells for religion Holy crucifixion, in yourself you find contradiction In the blood of Christ, no penance you will find for your inverted heart What is going on in Heaven Laughing angelwitches, a disciple's voice For the blind one At the threshold of infamy The left hand entrance awaits But a stairway to Heaven may be the answer For the blind one Sacristy vision A stain on the silent cross Inverted for reality for the chosen one Beneath the sky A preacher's torment and lies No tales of mercy No compassion for the crucified one You pray for the dead and their remains True confessions Cardinal sin behind the curtain Hidden sins, a forbidden taste... Holy crucifixion, in yourself you find contradiction In the blood of Christ, no penance you will find for your inverted heart Holy crucifixion, in yourself you find contradiction Wintergrief Fields of grief Before my empty views Some final falling melting snow Awakes my fervent stranger within... Behind the hill A cry from doomed and unborn Malignancy will be reborn Through the tides of time Still a reflected vision on the snow Of your precious essence No flicker of hope along With the falling sky We used to dream fairy-tales in gold Now only bloodred reigning saints above We aim for the stars We defy the winds and the clouds To find one way out To defy thy faith Of the serpent's kiss I sleep in chains Through the deepest black Wintergrief Enlightened bu the northern lights A last gleam Of slowly fading northern skies An epitome of my life I see the light turning into darkness There is no return when I hear the angel's call I begin to crawl inside my self To another instituxion A domain for the brave When the wintergrief grows stronger A shrouded dream enthroned in the future Emotional death, the denial of life In remembrance to thee Slaughtered is my soul beyond temptation What's left of the remains in a charred hell Wintergrief Enlightened bu the northern lights A last gleam Of slowly fading northern skies Wintergrief Enlightened bu the northern lights Into mourning signs A last gleam Of slowly fading northern skies An epitome of my life Envy The Dead As I watch down below The remains of the human race To reveal the last confess of an Evil revival A force in front of evil ones With fire eyes, men of thunder Malignancy the root of the past Mankind rest in peace Envy the dead, we will yearn for our death Silence is the peace for the one I search As I burn down the bridge... Behind me my inflamed path I leave Into dust and ashes, a future wish Pain of the flesh in a rotten grave With sinful pain and immortal seed A last try to revive and smell the Slowly withering wreath A new kingdom to come Awaiting the enthroned of the Ungod Envy the dead I walk through the plains Visions of horror A few survivors just to suffer Winds of doom Blows across this desert Too late to be wise There is no time for remorse Just envy the dead A burning twisted cross ahead Something for all of us to fear Resent age of undying wrath Will lead us all into an eternal Embrace of darkness Envy the dead, we will yearn for our death Silence is the peace for the one I search Lioness' Roar (instrumental) Mark My Words A pray for the race Just another pray in vain Signs of Judgement Day For the doomed to endure Pain, injustice A world in flames Innocent blood will flow Listen to the chimes of bells For the doomed to endure Suffering, injustice Sadistic leaders With their perverted minds Sitting there with earth in their hands Sacred are their words Telling us what's right or wrong They will lead us all into a certain death Mark my words Mark my words Hold those crosses high So your lord can you see Pray for the future It may not exist Hold those crosses high Pray for your martial future We are reaching the ultimate edge Mark my words Gardenia (instrumental) Final Lament Listen to his final lament By the fountain of hatred and torment In silence we walk alone with his fading shadow "My eyes are bleeding as I bow Before my eyes a brutal truth My soul is dying as I watch the sands Of time running slow" "My lament I shall engrave While my eyes still are bleeding, Retribution before enlightenment When the dawn's deluge suffocates my darkness" "As I hear the God of thunder's roar The gate of sin awaits before me But first I got to witness and burn in My own sea of fire The rottings angel's dead eyes gives Signs of death among the living" "Enslaved by hate, no words of wisdom Will fall from an ablaze sky My dream is dead along with my hope And I die once again A treasure of life between the veils Of the yearning mermaid A dreaming lifetime drowned in falls of illusions" "I believe it's time to meet my treasonous maker Abstract thoughts of desire feed our pain" The steps of the wizard we will follow The rotting dead eyes are still watching The signs of death belongs to his fading shadow © Tristitia 1996 This page is housed at Mygale. e-mail: ophth@mygale.org this site © Ophth 1997
