			Devils, Death and Dark Arts

1. The Flame Still Burns Within Me

Deep in the gorge of death
Awaits a song to sing
For the crowns we once wore
Have ceased the voices we proudly raised
One, forevermore shall see
The beauty that is her
A beauty
Calleth death
And I walk towards her
Onwards to eternity

A song of death and mourn
For this night is mine again
A greater world comes forth
As I swell within triumph
And I’m soaked in blood
I long for a whisper
Of forgotten gods of old

Then I became
The never ending rain
As I burn
In the light of silence

And yes
To the death now
As the earth will wash away all traces
And all will be vanished in flames
And all that is left will be dust

And the rains of nightfire come down

The fire
The ruins
Lays out the bold truth
Yet we are here
Waiting for that terrible night to come
The highest mountain
To the bottom of the ocean
Seen as never before
Release the river
Release the unbearable darkness
All as a shade of pale
And the fire still burns within me


2. Devils, Death and Dark Arts

What else is left
But a nation brought to her knees
Whenever will
The scraps of man
Open her eyes
For whatever will be

The lights have faded
The tales have been told
And the devil even weeps
And left in those among the flock

And another turn of the wheel
Another shift in power
Another death explained away
Hand in hand with the horror that followed
With marble lights straight through the hearts
In an underworld among stars
And what we refused to see
The light was never there at all

And we are whatever devil is left in man

Did we fail to see?
As we preached the common knowledge
Before we hence down the bible
And let it burn to ashes
And set one more step towards the new

What else is left
But a nation brought to her knees
Whenever will
The scraps of man
Open her eyes
For whatever will be
As I spit upon this human breed

The lights have faded
The tales have been told
And the devil even weeps
And left in those among the flock

The lights have died
The tales have been swept
And the devil even left
And weeps of those among the flock


3. It Befalls the Night With Doom

A chaos so deep
The destroyer of worlds
As if it were the in between
That we have failed to see

May it be in this world
Or the next

It befalls the night with doom
Now cease the voice that’s always there
And behold the moon
The light crying to shine

I shall never stand
And watch my world burn again
In the light of one
That visualized his own virtue

Into the hurricane
The heart of the earth
A perfect storm is yet to come

The realm of pain
Has opened her gates
Now into the hollow ground
And northward bound

As the wolf runs
With pace of night
Fading in the mist
Afraid to lose the pact he once had

Into the shallow ground
And earthbound

Waar ben je gebleven?
De zee roept ons naar huis
Vonken in het duister
Op de de troon van waanzin gezet
De zegel van vrijheid is gebroken
Hier binnen verdort
Waar werelden kruisen

En in de wijdheid van eeuwig leven
Houdt het vaandel hoog
En keer naar de aarde terug

Door hellevuur gebrand
Als een vlam uit het noorden
Zo wit als de dood
Dit is Helleruin


4. All Shades of Ferocity


5. Riddles in Devil's Tongue

Forever disarray
Upon the remains
Of the old world
Kings and beggars
Winds, embers, mud and flood
Graveyards opening their arms

For yet another mass death

And when this species
Faces the earth’s own little karma
We become nothing more
Than what trees and stars make of us

We’ve reached the vast array of shit
Paved underneath the feet of the damned
As they cleave unto others
And rely upon the language of graves

Surrender
To the farthest side of the other
And leave the edges of tomorrow behind
To become a second hand vessel of death

We’ve reached the vast array of shit
Paved underneath the feet of the damned
As they cleave unto others
And rely upon the language of graves

Often by fire, death is closer
So little the cold, will matter anymore

Always in futurity
Always in misbelief
But my time will come


6. Hymn of Life and Death

The cloak of death is an embrace
To a world in between
To a hymn of life and death
Of life and death

The wounds of her song have no light
For this rotten throne is mine to take
Allow me to feel again
For no glitter nor mourn will come

The day will come
The day I choose to die
And I would sacrifice it all

All for a life eternal
And the wretches will suffer

I will live my legacy
I am the everlasting flame
I am the master of the road ahead
And this road is forever

No light will ever shine for me again
The cloak of death is an embrace
To a world in between
To a hymn of life and death

And I dance upon the stones
Of memories long ago
And we dwell forever in a place so dark
And the great distance is close
So let me be free

And the mountains heard my call
For the devil is there in many forms
And I

I am the winter's howl, I am the rise and fall
I am the moon in pain, I am the golden rain
I am the son that weeps, I am evil that sleeps
I am the pale stead, I am the river red
I burn towards eternal life

A thousand lives apart
A thousand deaths taken
But one will burn

Forever
