1. Calling the Spirits of the Dead (Intro)
Thee I invoke serpent of the deep
Thee I invoke Leviathan
Horned serpent of the deep
Thee I invoke doomed serpent of the deep
Satan!!!
Open the gate that I may enter
Lucifer!
Spirit of the deep,
Watcher of the gate
Remember, in the name of our father, Enki
Before the flight,
Lord and master of magicians
Open the gate that I may enter
Open, else I attack the gate
Open, I say else I break down this vase
Open, else I attack the walls
Open, else I use all my force
Open the gate, else I cause the dead to rise
And devour the living
Open the gate, else I give the dead power over the living
Open the gate, else I make the dead to out number the living
Satan!
Spirit of the deep
Watcher of the gate
Open, may the dead rise and smell the incense
2. For All Eternity
On a depressive winter night
I wander through
This majestic pagan forest
Memories of ancient times
Fly into my mind
A dark grey spirit
Composed of moonlight shadows
Guides me towards
The forest's blackest depths
Whispers in the night sky
It's melancholy enters my soul
Touching the silent creature
So ancient and cold
In blackness unveiled
I come upon the gate
I feel my mortality slip away
It's cold blue light I cannot resist
It's spirits carrying me away
Into the gate
Transcending all life
To a world beyond
Into the deepest dark
Finally at his side
At the edge of eternity
Whispers in the night sky
It's melancholy enters my soul
Touching the silent creature
So ancient and cold
3. The Chaos That Crawls Beyond the Stars
I am the mask
I am the will of those that were
When time was not
I am the voice of those most ancient
Cloaked with chaos
Hiding amidst the stars
Priest of the ether
Dweller in the air
That hath many faces
That none shall recall
In the dreams of men
They know my whispers
Yet no man can know
My ever shifting forms
Hear the crawling chaos
That calls beyond the stars
The waves freeze before me
The gods dread my call
Wherever my footsteps turn
Surely men must die
Mightiest of messengers
Haunter of the dark
Stalker of the stars
The faceless god
Your cities will shatter
Your temples will fall
The sunken kingdoms
Will rise from the sea
I will set the stars
That open the portals
From the cosmic gulfs
My lieges shall return...
4. Bestial Moans
Darkness descending
Haunting the fatal gloom
Choirs of anguish
Like a wound that strike through
Unearthly shrieks of torment
Sounding voids of silence
Malignant, abhorrent growls
Unleashed demon howls
To walk the path of ill fated souls
To fallen kingdoms
So dark and cold
Unlit by the faintest spark
Groaning grotesque from the dark
Stripped bare of every light
Hellish cries from out of sight
O wearied souls hide from me those
Suffering voices sing to me
Agonized screams draw me on
Mesmerized by the demon song
Led to the brink of a great abyss
Depths obscured by rolling mist
Those tortured masses spoke my name
Entreat me to rejoice in pain
Into the depths of endless torture
My voice rises in a bestial moan
Unearthly shrieks of torment
Sounding voids of silence
Malignant, abhorrent growls
Unleashed demon howls
5. The Wolves of Armageddon
6. Ghosts of the Moonlight Mist
I am the almighty
My horror shall return
My chronicles span through time
The prophecy to be fulfilled
From the stars
Beyond the gates
Break the chains of endless exile
In the dark forests
And the deepest caves
My minions sense me
Reflect my essence
Over the mountains
Across icy waters
My soul travels
On the roaring wind
Apparitions arise from the moonlight mist
Ghostly howling, a legion of lost souls
The host has gathered
Answering the call to war
To slaughter the divine
To usurp the throne
Ave Satanas
Infinite master
Raise your swords in my name...
7. The October Storms
8. Tenebrarum Cadent Exsurgemus
9. Les Fleurs du Mal
*Title inspired by Charles Baudelaire*
Upon the fallow fields of blood-drenched earth
The gleaming bale-fire sun
Nourishes an immortal rebirth
Seeds of midnight hate
Interred in burial dirt
When they come to fruit
Yield a harvest of hurt
Blossoms of blackest beauty
Bloom deep inside my soul
Sharpened roots like fangs
Puncturing my heart
Thorny vines constricting
Prick and squeeze out life
O inhale deeply
The sweet stench of death
Rotting spores borne
On an icy wind
Blossoms of blackest beauty
Bloom deep inside my soul
The moon's silver skull
Hangs high in darkened skies
Over lonely plains
So far from paradise
Petals unfurl
Flowers reach into night
Adorned with bloody dew drops
That glisten in the pale moonlight
The growing shadow
Spreads from within
I will sow the seeds
Of decadence and sin
Blossoms of blackest beauty
Bloom deep inside my soul
10. Rites of the Black Herald
Channeling the ethereal moons
Engulfed by the night mist
Carnal yearning for fresh blood
Diabolic hooded figures in essence
Beckoning unholy vigil
Primitive evil
Feel the chill
Foul and ancient
Endure the precious fragment
Renouncing a profane religion
Transcending, manifesting in the flesh
Disciples of sacrilege
To mock the weeping saints
Infinite darkness entombed no longer
Rotting within burning crypts
Flaming host bestows his gift
Circle of abhorrence
Saponified flesh consumed
Northern winds are calling in tongues
They speak of doom
Northern winds are calling in tongues
They speak of doom...
11. Night of the Cloven Hoof (Prologue)
12. The Gates to the Spirit Kingdom
At the edge of infinity
Crimson drops leave my hands
In this dark chamber
My journey begins
The gates
To the spirit world
It's secrets now open wide
My life slips away
I flew over dark landscapes
A palace of fog
The gathering of immortals
On the seventh day
In the Nether Realm
Cold moonlight
Translucent spirits
Whisper my name
Infernal power
A place of black blasphemy
It's infinite wisdom
The key
Absorbed in shadows
Lifeless in the Spirit Realm
A depressive vision of pure black
The gathering of immortals
In the Nether Realm
Cold moonlight
Translucent spirits
Whisper my name
Majestic and ancient
Forever night
The gathering of immortals...
13. Void of Satanic Darkness (Outro)
