Dark Funeral
Where Shadows Forever Reign
1. Unchain My Soul
From tombs of forgotten times,
I summon thee from thy sleep
Across the river, ferocious and wild,
from the graves and vaults of my thoughts
I call for you my brother let me leave this awful life
and drift away beyond the borders of this realm
You wandered off before me, now come back and pick me up
Unchain my soul and bring me where all light will fade
I cannot stay, I will not wait, I have to leave
this world forever, I swear not to return
Behind their masks there stand but slaves and servitude
was not our trade so rise and set me free and bring me home
So rise from the dead
Release me from this pain
I raise the dead
To unfold the gates to Hell
I summon all the forces from the darkness that gave birth
to our exsistence and lit the hellish flames
We shall stand tall and wander
Where the heavens can not reach
us as the path will lead into the dark and cold
We can not stay and wait, the passage has been cleared
The gates are open, there is no turning back
Those left behind, shall die as slaves, as servants of
their humble ways and Satan will be laughing from his throne
So rise from the dead
Release me from these chains
I raise the dead
To reclaim my throne in Hell
And before the rise of dawn, my soul will be free
I call for you my brother let me leave this awful life
and drift away beyond the borders of this realm
You wandered off before me, now come back and pick me up
Unchain my soul and bring me where all light will fade
I cannot stay, I will not wait, I have to leave
this world forever, I swear not to return
Behind their masks there stand but slaves and servitude
was not our trade so rise and set me free and bring me home
So rise from the dead
Release me from this pain
I raise the dead
To unfold the gates to Hell
So rise from the dead
Release me from these chains
I raise the dead
To reclaim my throne in Hell
2. As One We Shall Conquer
Spears fo fire speak of death
Enchantress of Hell, reborn!
I will have you on your knees
And the beast I hold within
Shall be fed with your hungering screams
For we shall own the night
And destroy the remains of their one „god“
And cast down Hell ... his soul!
The fire grows over the barricades,
and the heavens are crying with disgrace
All the creatures of the light hide in fear
for the night has come and will last eternally
We've conquered the light and the pyres are burning
The moon and the stars shine no more
Goddess come forth and stand by my side
As one we shall conquer them all
The fire grows over the barricades,
and the heavens are crying with disgrace
All the creatures of the light hide in fear
for the night has come and will last eternally
We've coverd the sun and the ashes are dancing
We came for the end of the world
Goddess rejoice! Stand bare by my side
As one we shall watch as they fall!
For we shall own the night
And consume the remains of their one „god“
and cast down to hell... his flesh!
The fire grows over the barricades,
and the heavens are crying with disgrace
All the creatures of the light hide in fear
for the night has come and will last eternally
The fire grows over the barricades,
and the heavens are crying with disgrace
All the creatures of the light hide in fear
for the night has come and will last eternally
3. Beast Above Man
With my razor sharp and shiny claws
I'm reaching out to tear your soul apart
I'll suck you eyes and eat your flesh
A cannibal they call me
but I'm more the human fucking waste
I'll tear your soul
Tear it down
To the ground
As my hunger grows I slit your wirstst
I am the wolf and you've been fucking warned
No pigs are save when I'm around
I'll turn your crosses upside down
and burn your temple to the ground
To the ground
Burn it down
To the ground!
The burden of life shall be carried no more
For me all your flesh and to the Devil your soul
Condemned from this realm as your last sun shall set
The maker of shadows collecting your debt
A feast for the wolf, for the beast above man
I shall revage an murder, til nothing is left!
When you least expect me I'll be there
For I am death and you my whining whore
I'll cut yout throat and spill your blood
I am a force from the abyss and I will take your
Worthless soul
Tear it down
Slit your throat
Bleed you dry
And I will bring you down with me to Hell
4. As I Ascend
I roamed the night and winding shadows led me home
And as I ran into the depths,
there was no light to guide me on my path
And the night devoured my sreams
and preyed on my soul
I faded away
Oh now i fell and the demons laughed
as they were filled with bloodlust and spitefulness
Oh how I crawled through the dirt
and I could feel my life will being drained and dissolved
I was submerged into the endless gaping void
No air to breath, no heart that beats,
there was no life to carry me along
Then the flares, they turned into flames
and they carried my soul
through the endless pain, I ascend
then the flames turned into flesh
and the making me whole
As I ascend
I was submerged into the endless gaping void
No air to breath, no heart that beats,
there was no life to carry me no more
And the night devoured my screams
and preryed on my soul
I faded away
As the grat fires of the deepes tracts of hell
consumed all my weaknesses and traces of humanity
I arose withe a grandeur without equal,
with a darkness in my eyes and with a plgue
to wield the world
I rise as the flares are turning to flames
and they carry my soul
through the endless pain
I rise as the flames are turning into flesh
and they make me whole
As I ascend
Dominus Satans
I am the spear
Dominus Lucifer
I am the fire
May our black light blind the world
May the serpent eat the world
May our black flame burn the world
May our darkness never end

6. The Eternal Eclipse
And since the day I left
the burning field of the abyss
I've been alone
and wandering through the world in darkness
I've never thought of turning back
and every step I take
is leading me towards my final breath of air
I was alive to see the world
erupt in flames and brimstone
as the judgement day swept clean all the lands
Humanity was doomed to die
and the remnants that were left,
they would forever hide in shame
Towards the end
The world will again
Deform and transcend
The eternal eclipse
As we reach the end
No man will again
Reform or amend
For the Apocalypse
And when the sun turned black all weater froze to ice
and all remaining life was sent into the great unknown
I was alone, the king of kings but nothing was left there
to rule and nothing was there to destroy
I saw that day, that joyful day I conquered all
then walked away and now wait for my demise
Oh soon to come my glorious death
and I will be the last to leave
for the world will be returned to the night
Towards the end
My world will again
Deform and transcend
The eternal eclipse
As we reach the end, no man will again
Reform or amened for the apocalypse
The world will again
Deform and transcend
The world will again...
The eternal eclipse
7. To Carve Another Wound
This ritual must never end
The blood runs warm from the sacrificial shrine
Inflicting open wounds
As dirty claws grab her trembling fucking neck
This ritual must never end
The cuts run deep as we feast upon her cries
Her punctured bleeding heart
pounding with fear
Her painful screams echo through the night
her blood shall flow and cover
the remnants of the severed flesh
Her struggling hands only trigger more
The rest will follow, in death and chaos as I drive
The nail in her coffin
A spear threough her heart
the ceremony has just begun
The blood runs warm down her sanctimonious thights
We carve another wound
Our blood stained hands rip her dirty little dress
We sacrifice this dying earth
Her lying God is waiting naked on the ground
he wants her open wounds
Just like a well trained dog he's waiting for his trun
Her violent screams make the world convuluse
As we arrange a shallow grave
This ritual must never end
The blood runs warm from the sacrificial shrine
We open up her breathing chest
As dirty claws grab her trembling fucking neck
Her painful screams echo through the night
her blood shall flow and cover
the remnants of the severed flesh
Her struggling hands only trigger more
The rest will follow, in death and chaos as I drive
The nail in her coffin
A spear threough her heart
Mother of life
Deceased and erased
Forgotten and buried
Forever
8. Nail Them To The Cross
Rise in Glory!
Rise from the flames and come out from the shadows
And let your dead eyes glow wherever you roam!
A dark millennium of evil and sin
Amass the black arts as the tide is turning
Rivers of poison, oceans of depravity
By the hands of the antagonist
Winds of fire, storm of the apocalypse
Proclaim the relentless return of Satan!
Crush all morality and bring forth the Beast
Hunt down the weaklings and abase all that is holy
Nail them to the cross
Thorns shall carve
Nail them to the cross
Angels weep
Nail them to the cross
Eradicate "God"
Nail them to the cross
Divinity is me
Now set aflame their sanctuaries of light
In masses they burn and the flame reach higher
The winds keep howling
As we reinstate the unholy art, of human sacrifice
Let them be heard, all the trumpets of glory
And let the sound of doom deafen their cries
For we shall strike as one with victory at hand
To conquer all, to reinstate the unholy
Rivers of poison, oceans of depravity
By the hands of the antagonist
Winds of fire, storm of the apocalypse
Proclaim the relentless return of Satan!
Crush all morality and bring forth the Beast
Hunt down the weaklings and abase all that is holy
Nail them to the cross
Thorns shall carve
Nail them to the cross
Angels weep
Nail them to the cross
Eradicate "God"
Nail them to the cross
Divinity is me
9. Where Shadows Forever Reign
I walk through the night
and haunting voices echo through my head
Torturing me as I enter the hallways
of the ancient realm forlorn and cold
Rulers of the majestic night, I sacrifice myself
I summon the one with the horns and the fire
as I throw myself right into the dark
I open the doors to the other side,
where everything is so old
I'm leaving my body and enter the void
to where all shadows must return
Infernal beasts of Hell,
gather around my hungering heart
Burn my flesh as you cleanse my soul
I shall forever ream in obscurity
Eternally doomed
Forever to yearn
Eternally doomed
Forever to burn
Rulers of the majestic night, I sacrifice myself
I summon the one with the horns and the fire
as I throw myself right into the dark
I open the doors to the other side,
where everything is so old
I'm leaving this world and I enter the void
where the shadows forever reign
I walk through the dark
and haunting voices echo through my mind
Torturing me as I enter the hallways
of the ancient realm forlorn and cold
Rulers of the majestic night, I sacrifice myself
I summon the one with the horns and the fire
as I throw myself right into the dark
And through the night I must walk
As the opposer of the light
While the prepetual darkness
Prevails in my heart
