Rakoth Jabberworks 1. Dying Realm Far in mountains lies the realm of sorrow A dying realm which fate's forever doomed Still live today but maybe dead tomorrow On blackened sky the shade of Evil loomed Dying rivers - no life in empty waters Silent lakes where nothing dwells within In the canyons the signs of ancient slaughters The remembrance that people couldn't win The flowers bleeding, trees are dead The landscape painted by the mad It's always night, there's no sunrise No light in kingdom of demise Crying widows, young girl mourns for lover Grief and sorrow, death is all around Soulless bodies, shroud is down to cover And no strength to bury them in ground There's no birth, just stillborn The heart of mother is torn Painful groans fill the sky All who live want to die The realm is dying The deadly curse oppresses, preys the land Payment for the sins in past The sky is crying This terror is released by Evil's hand The realm will die, the curse will last Far in mountains lies the realm of sorrow A dying realm which fate's forever doomed... Death has come to the land Brought the realm to the end Disappearing in gloom Suffering ghastly doom 2. A Pass In The Ethereal [The Legend] "At the heart of silence writhing Flame now slowly dies unpowered anymore, with the strain of Keepers gone, those swone to keep the Flame alive but vanished long before the time - the advent of the Creeping Calm. - ...In awe they stand and watch as the Mist engulfs them all... I behold the world fades as they pray to their Goddess for death... Vast aeons passed like the time has stopped, yet the live still stirs in it's freezing breath, and the Stillness stalks the silent realms. Could they prevent the Creeping Calm? They prayed to their Spider Queen in fear but their Goddess was the first to dive the peace of frozen sleep. I stand atop the highest cliff, I observe the rest of the fussless world, I see the planes where I'm alone at last. In the Sacred Hall the Flame still dies, dropping shadows living their final dance in the middle of the ice-veiled universe..." Beautiful, a web of stars, theat looms amid the sons of earth... Enfolds me in these silvan arms that unite vehement charms... Befalls the weary son of earth... 3. Insurgent One One Thou, the Risen One, Insurgent Mage Who shook the power of gods All that you've done, eternal rage It justifies unholy thoughts You fight alone - Young Gods are foes Defending their Hallowed Land You feel so strong, Darkness is yours Feel there's no need to defend You do everything If they ask you for help you help everyone You pity their grief, you will not deny Whether beggar or king Liken mortal to god, there's no thing that can't be done But see their belief - they worship the Lie Raise your sword of black in raging flames You challenge gods in Hallowed Land No turning back, it's not a game The reign of lies must come to end Your armies vast devour the worlds And conquer lands on their way So strong and fast infinite hordes It's time for Young Gods to pay And the battle's begun At the gate of the Land that is Hallowed for all Their armies are great, much stronger than yours "Outnumbered you're gone So prepare for the end, now you'll suffer your fall Sealed is your fate - you're out of your force" "How dare you, worthless one encroach on holy things Rakoth now you'll be gone or slave to Seven Kings" "No way, I'll die but free or crush the tyrants down My armies cannot flee - they're led by Darkness Crown" The Hallowed is trembling, igneous gales Summoned from Chaos, incinerate the worlds Lost... The battle's lost, you're chained and bound Down to the Bottom of Worlds Ruined is your host, no fame you found Disincarnated by the Lords And all returned - no truth, just lies And Young Gods rule the worlds again But people learnt on your demise And your defeat was not in vain Free spirit lives on And no power for gods to erase it from mind The riot after riot, they know no more rest Now you're not alone Not the slaves but free men can no longer be blind The times won't be quiet - your spirit will last 4. Story Of The Nameless It was the age of darkness. And Evil ruled all over the land. And there was the one - He was Evil itself. He had no name and they called Him - NAMELESS! He sat on Throne of Gore in the Castle of Ruin on the Ebony Hill. And He reigned in blood and terror... But artifacts of great power were given to people. And they rose and overthrew Him. He was banished from the world and could not find a way back... But the servants of Him remained, so remained the ways for Him to return and restore His reign of terror... Nameless... He shall return... 5. Farewell Farewell to all, I'm in arms of eternal sleep In mourning hall your sorrow for me is too deep No feeble thought, you gaze into the void Think what you are before the eternity Staring with awe yet unbelieving The vision before your eyes - the bloodstained flowers... An everlasting torment Moaning, crying, in flowers body lying Rain of tears is pouring from your mourning eyes Depression, sorrow, for me there's no tomorrow Now you take all pain and grief for my demise My coat is shroud and the coffin is my only home Don't moan so loud, let me rest, don't make my soul roam Blessed are the strong, the strong with spirit And grief is supressed by fierce impact The flash of insight reveals desire To join me within my grave - the godless craving... An act of desperation Don't cry for me, can't you see - I feel better now My soul is free so get near and kiss my cold brow And no tears last - the chalice is empty Extict the feelings, fear's gone and forgotten And in your dream I beckon to follow Come share my afterlife... I'll wait 6. Brightless (I) Fall into a lifelss pattern of sin Different, different, different....... Take part, soulflammable gas Play your role of uncertain death- watch I'm havin' neither part nor lot in such path Measured with allowed steps So is your role as seems (to me) Undoomed to fail and unrelieved How will I know... I deny, I confess, I've denied "More carrion for vultures" - they said, an atheist becomes dead... Ne invoces expellere non passis (Do not call up that you cannot put down...) What am I feeling when you make me alive in the mo(u)rning Here In the crystal caves of falling streams. within misty shades of falling (fallen) leaves ? Evolved a plan, to sell blue skies Corrupted watcher - mine demise (I know what's price) Idyllic place, huh, you want some more Coffin on start, just push the... door ...above... Adore!? My rudeness you will pardon Nevermind yourself, as you don't care at all "I am weary of men-sized chimeras" So is your life as it seems to me Redoomed to fail unrelieved How will I know I give you a day as a gift to burn your lies a night to strike up again I am your watcher - your demise Mors principium est DEATH IS JUST THE BEGINNING..... 7. Return Of The Nameless Night, bloody night, such a sacred night I came to this night through the rivers of blood The spells I've cast and people I've killed Left no return so more blood will be spilled The legend says that He'll rise tonight And they will see His power and might They have forgotten that Master's alive So He will rise and none will survive Oh what a land, land of joy and sunlight Such beautiful beings these elves and unicorns They will die by my hand, enemies that I fight All the earthly kings I shall crown by the crown of thorns The reign of terror will fall on earth again And they will suffer and none shall kill their pain There's no salvation - Nameless will rise tonight And when He comes falls the endless night Rise... Rise... Rise... I summon Thee back to the earth To return and punish the traitors To rule again all over the land To reign in blood... "I'm coming" 8. Diamond Angel The solitude falls so heavy on me And loneliness leaves no salvation Wonderful face I desire to see I cannot resist desperation But like spark in the dark there's an image inside Diamond Angel is coming again The memories strike and nowhere to hide I'm screaming in pleasure and pain Heart of steel is inside of her beautiful chest And no kindness - it's just iron will And her soul is a diamond, I fall from the crest Realizing that love is unreal Seeing light of her eyes I cry out her name I'm in fever but light is ice cold Feeling warmth of her smile I know false is the flame And her feelings can't be unfold But someone will come... And in pain she will drown... And desire for her will be real And the diamond will break... And the steel will melt down... And the suffering of love she will feel 9. Der Jammerwoch [by L. Carrol, translation by Robert Scott] Es brillig war. Die schlichte Toven Wirrten und wimmelten in Waben: Und aller-m�msige Burggoven Die mohmen R�th' ausgraben. Bewahre doch vor Jammerwoch! Die Z�hne knirschen, Krallen kratzen! Bewahr' vor Jubjub-Vogel, vor Frumi�sen Banderschn�tzchen! Es griff sein vorpals Schweichen zu, Er suchte lang das manchsam' Ding; Dann, stenend unten Tumtum Baum, Er an-zu-denke-fing. Als stand er tief in Andacht auf, Des Jammerwochen's Augen-feuer Durch tulgen Wald mit wiffek kam Ein burbelnd ungeheuer! Eins, Zwei! Eins, Zwei! Und durch und durch Sein vorpals Schwert zerschnifer-schn�ck, Da blieb es todt! Er, Kopf in Hand, Gel�umfig zog zur�ck One, two! One, two! And through and through the vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He lft it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. Und schlugst Du ja den Jammerwoch? Umarme mich, mein B�hm'sches Kind! O Freuden-Tag! O Hallo-Schlag! Er chorteln froh-gesinnt. 'Twas brilling and the slithy toves Did gire and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. Line-Up: P. Noir - vocals, flutes Rustam - vocals, keys, sequencing Dy - guitars, bass Recorded and mixed during December 2000 at Signal Studios (Obninsk, Russia) & CDM Studio (Moscow, Russia) Featuring the "Russian Grotesque Live Orchestra"
