Northern Eternity A DESOLATING HYMN [no lyrics available] KURGAN SUPREMACY As darkness falls over the lands My time has come to crush humanity's daughters and sons War and hate peace will never be Total damnation not one's soul will be free Grains of sand filled with blood On these shores of despair My march will continue The star's final glare My endless strive for domination Armageddon's leading son Fulfilment of this greater vision There shall be only one The last day has ended Heaven will mourn I stand high on this hill Adam's race died at dawn Darkforce be my guide Towards the eternal reign Last battle on earth This night there shall be only one My endless strive for domination Armageddon's leading son Fulfilment of this greater vision There shall be only one Behold The Kurgan Master Of Fog Behold The Kurgan Master Of War TWILIGHT SHORE As the heavens opened Light poisoned the air All fallen angels followed The leader's fiery glare They came with the storms Once heaven's delight He summoned them all An army with pride And then at dusk When daylight went The fallen angels With black - blooded scent They bowed before him To speak the oath with eyes so black A mighty voice cut the silence The lord of falsehood raised his head We are casted out of this false paradise So let us join under the banner To perish his kingdom This god exists no more In ruins he will reign A worthless victory For all eternity Let this be your last fate To fight for hell My renewed paradise Lucifer's spell Soon we will return The dark kingdom's ascension Oh winged flock of impurity The poetry of this dark quest Lead me to redemption The armies carry on his will is rule for all The time is near for heaven's fall He spreads the seed of purest greed The battle has begun They fought for endless power Bloodred skies are ours War of angels... War [Repeat 1st verse] [Repeat 4th and 5th verses] The troops of light exist no more Dark winged angels gather in victory at the Twilight shore... He spreads the seed... of purest greed OPAQUE FORTRESS [choral part of lyrics unavailable] Call my council hall of might Towers of darkest dimensions Build it up by magic Pandemonium Tempt mankind forever Chaos direct me through the gates of hell Created free they will soon fall Go to the rim of the universe Passing the limbo of vanity Wait to reach the nighttime stars An army of immortality Satan - Godmaster Lucifer - One Shining Star I fall, I rise Return of the highest in spiteful disguise I fall, I rise An unending path to be seen in his eyes Seducing god's creation Serpent's lonely voice Invert the lie betray them Leave the garden forever... Chaos direct me through the gates of hell Created free they will soon fall Go to the rim of the universe Passing the limbo of vanity Wait to reach the nighttime stars One army of immortality MOLDAVIAN FIRES I am legion Crimson eyes of thousands Death kiss the undead's glory Await the new beginning They pledge to their swords Darkday is near Nature's grand powers Mankind's soul disappears Flames of fire kiss the night Stormclouds like black tears Flames of fire kiss the night Guarding spiteful angels Flying in the Carpathian nightsky I am legion Crimson eyes of thousands Death kiss the undead's glory I am legion Crimson eyes of thousands Await the new beginning Flames of fire kiss the night Stormclouds like black tears Flames of fire kiss the night Guarding spiteful angels Flying in the Carpathian nightsky All mortal ones shall be lost Waves of blood at the horizon Join the force and shun the cross... ACROSS OCEANS OF TIME Shadows of the nether world Bearer of the coming age Masters of all entity The universal rage Grand scale of unknown dimensions Serpent's deathkiss no redemption Guardian of the ancient urn Where fragments of the time and space will burn Wall of fire, lord of storms Echoes whisper in pain Impaled by age's thorns Ruler of the endless spheres Take us across these oceans Where new worlds will appear They came from beyond As legends once told And travelled in time Aeon's to behold Drifting towards the vortex of ferocity Birth of a new breed mental atrocity - atrocity Absence of mercy mind Days of final judgement when all eyes of men Turned blind Pagan curse the secret bequest Harsh indoctrination Inquisition false religion Scorned intoxication Immortal thoughts martyrdom The cry of desolation Conjure the dark millennium Ruler of the endless spheres Take us across these oceans Where new worlds will appear They came from beyond As legends once told They strove for one aim all forces to unfold Across these oceans of time...... NORTHERN ETERNITY To capture the essence of astral fire Forlorn on these desolate plains The symphony of roaring forests All old spirits call out my name The purity of nightsky enchantment Dark crystal waters majestic grand lands At dawn when fog appeared Mankind's greatest fear The coming of a new age darkstar's endless torment Human existence was soon to end The chains of northern steel A universal seal The greatest cosmic power One key for the eternal tower Far north the epic crimson sky Towards the firmament A thousand souls will fly The seer of visions saw the end of the world And four apocalyptic riders To haunt all the cowards to break their weak bodies No one will be left beside us And the stars guide us on our ride Aeons elapsed - an everlasting flight The northern law - the one to obey To be your own master - a warrior's way No truth in religious beliefs - no glory at all I am the one god's heaven will fall The chains of northern steel A universal seal The greatest cosmic power One key for the eternal tower Far north the epic crimson sky Will guide me When my time has come to die Northern Eternity Open The portals of Superiority ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nordischer Künstler - Vocals, Keyboards and Synthesizer Xenien - All Lead Guitars, 6- and 12-string Acoustic Guitars Ferun - Rhuthm Guitar Friirr - Bass Guitar Selphratus - Drums and Percussion Denise - All Female Vocals All bass-, rhythm-, lead- and acoustic guitars on this album played by Xenien All music by Nordischer Künstler and Xenien.
