The distant mountain range with its wisdom of an age from beyond Make her obey and yes, let her fill she's filled with me Rain stare at a coming sleep and let our lips feel your blood Weaker are our eyes or is it just your memory coming to life ? The grass is not blind, so feel its every twitch you're raped by my evil, betrayed by your fucking God The grave is filled, Sic transit gloria mundi !

After A Releasing Death / Castle Of No Repair (part II) The old walls shook of thunder seems ages ago There's only victory in the wardrums triumphant speech (whisper) At last Legion my name is together under mighty conspiracy advance Sharpen thy sword, the throne of ruins is mine (whisper) Over it is Chorus I've strangled the truth and hidden the lie Towers of wisdom have been beyond and are possessed by true hate My breath has left and my face won't reveal I won't listen nor react, no need to try After a releasing death (whisper) Pain for us Hey ! Slowly Passing The Frostlands / A Winterland's Tear (whisper) I hereby raise a monument over my brothers' death (whisper) And I'll carry his burdens mystery YAH ! A snow of ancient art lies heavy on this barren land Falling down in a wide whirling inferno of celestial orgasm Don't they see the embryos quiet swile or my nails in the behind of her ? Groan at the blizzard Drink a cup of midnight kiss Abandonned and pregnant she is Daughters and Sons don't you see your mother is lying forgotten in the snow ? Buried in its long pale wedding dress of winter Drenched in the secret of jesus christ's pitiful god HA ! Lady born of good She's tight as a nun Oh spirit of naked fun Pre-Chorus : The winter night smiles at your beauty (whisper) There is no white birth only black death Watch a bloody grin cut you in two (whisper) In the snowdrift crucified by a weak humanity Chorus : All of you innocent will be punished Let me feed your cunt at the ocean of rapes Behold my wrath as I gently crack your hips Hear my starved sigh slowly passing the frostlands Creeps lie still in your cradle and I'll make you sleep at fullmoon Sodomy, depressions, war and hate follow me to conquer I will hold you in my cloak and feed you with my dagger of lies Little one nothing is fair She's at her very last In these lands so vast Swollow my spirit ! For do they know who I am or whom I've been somewhere in a distant past ? The froth freezes on my lips as I see the red room Lie wide, open up, let me touch and let me kill At this attic of the lost My stare of empty and ice And those crystal tears from your eyes (repeat Pre-Chorus) (repeat Chorus) Watch the snow turn red And my brother is my daughter the mother's worthless body lies cold Lift your cups for Satan smiles Via Dolorosa / My Springnight's Sacrifice Spring colour my world and its soulless body with this hate for life of death From the dying snow I feel the dripping water reborn my breath The first flight of the butterfly reminds me about my hate for life Stronger death is than love for that your destiny is my knife Oak, popular, pine and birch, alder hear my immortality demand leafy white bearded woods Hungry I am for his majestic king of the hillsides has Grown green again Under this rock, under that cliff The sparkling frozen burnt Mandrake rise now 'cause the beheaded sing The heartbeat of the fungus and the anemony Will be liquitated Earthworms chill in the lichen foggy ground and the Insects breathe, evil sprout This is the nightfall of the wolf Howling blasphemes in the Night just like in the past Pre-Chorus : I am Megalomania the Diabolic, a stormruler of the southern borns And I command generation of legions in my ultimate magnificence I do have no tears, I do have no funcken fear On this battle my princess I will be your berseck Chorus : Undress my bride and let us feed upon lust (whisper) My precious whore I'm delighted by your pain Oh beloved, trust you must never do (whisper) Your scream is heard but nothing they can do Lie upon this mossgrown altar and the dewdrops wet will feel your heat Be my Bathori, my Nosferatu, my black evil witch My delighted disciple In your arms I will love In your arms I will hate Daughter, this sacrifice is for you A black shape of Satan watches our darkened desires, join him As a bat on the black sky the shadow of Evil spreads over this world Sun won't set you free Heading for the dark Detta er upprum vonsku (repeat Pre-Chorus) (repeat Chorus) "På ängar så gröna, under himlen så mörk Ute i det sköna, vid nyvakinad björk Vårnattens sista timma, för med sig ditt namn På detta fält av dimma, förenas vi i grönskans famn Endast måne och stjärnor, mitt onda begär vet Såsom eldens vilda tärnor, kärleken falsk gör dig het Mitt våroffer du är, blodet från ditt våta sköte Din själ slits isär, döden dig har kommit til mötes" (repeat verse I) Ophthalamia / The Eternal Walk (part III) English translation Kapitel I : Grå döden gör sig sedd Långt, långt nere i bergets svarta djupa salar Där de mörka skuggorna tysta smyger och väsande talar Där trollmor slickar sina blodiga händer Där i vattnet han väntar som en tuva med ögon som bränder Du hans krafter ej begär känner; synd or skam För nu kryper den grå döden ur sitt gömställe fram I vattnet så svart han som ett dött träd flyter Han fram ur sin håla endast kommer när dagen tryter Var försiktig du vandrare för långa knotiga fingrar dig annars tar I den porlande bäcken han som nattens kung far Ett litet steg fel och du hos Grå döden hammar Med dödens grepp han dig mer än gärna omfammar Oändliga skogar i mörkret sig sprida I Ophthalamias Satans natt du skall lida Dunkla skuggor träden över dig kastar Bli ej förförd av nattens onda gastar Refräng : Efter denna natt solen för digej lysa mer Han skall dra dig i det bottenlösa djupet ner Natten blöder svart måne dess öga är Långt bort i fjärran och här dig alldeles när Viskande, väsande, manande han dig befalla Längre och längre ut i natten den kalla Viskning : Nöglur bitir rifa dig sundur, poka grar pig vil faxma Augu leita, nefi vixra, bixdu fyrir lifnu xinu, xig hlifa hann ekki Kapitel II : Blott ett byte för grå döden du är Gå vidare och lyssna icke till de dödas dränkta gråt Ingen klara sig ur Grå döden grepp så våt Svarta djävlarde skratta i natten De leva som han i detta onda döda vatten Med sitt långa toviga hår han dig kommer att strypa Inför denna urminnes skepnad in skall komma att krypa Akta sig noga för denna grå satan, för dig han vill ha Om onda ögon du i mörkret ser, vänd annars dig han skall ta Tre månar roat hans dystra dödslek nakttar Han mången gång värre är, än dolken som i dit hjärta skar Om din vandring du vill fortsätta lysna då till mitt ord Förtsiktig genom skogen dig ta, leta sedan efter din hjord (upprepa vers III) (upprepa refräng x II) Hey !
