An Autumn Leave in the Circles of Time Music & lyrics by Austrheim With neither speech nor portrayals he gazed up towards infinity's face and as aloft the circles he rose, a sudden breath of dark forgotten dreams came true For never had he entered the fiery gates, the mirror passage entry to another existance To another plane Above the circles emerged another dream For no man of mortal shell could know where or when this planet existed He drifted and saw stars sweep across the sky He saw suns perish He saw visions rise from emarald darkness And lunar moonlit seas A thousand years and then a thousand moons... Simply Dead Music by Austrheim Lyrics by Helgesen A passion of tears close my soul as I reach for your caress Let me die in your flesh while the heavenly bodies burn out before our eyes let me die and die again Taste my blood with emotional lust Let your touch embrace my mind Show me a hidden path to the source of wisdom You are the rose on my grave... Traces of flames made of ice Never, never No, no!! My river in which the dawn never shows is hope hiding Blood of my past is still dripping - Simpy dead A Thousand Rivers Music by Austrheim & Helgesen Lyrics by Helgesen Thousands of years have passed Still we do not know O tell me, please, tell me what lies beyond our comprehension We are nothing but autumn leaves swirling in the circles of time Haunted by the shadow in our past Time won't sweep away our deepest scars of memories It will carry them along eternally Betrayed by the enigma of existence Yet, we admire this insignificance O shameful, pathethic Listen carefully to the sound of an evening breeze And the sound of a thousand rivers struggling towards the sea But all is so dead and silent Wel, this way it's got to be Mistress Tears Music & lyrics by Austrheim As the earth does weep The sun being set Each flower moistened Like a melting eye I have deserved all tounges to speak their bitterness over me The lake of my treasures darken being blown with the wind Her circled eye enforced by sympathy of those fair suns set in her mistress sky who in a salt-waved ocean quence their light which makes the maid weep like the dewy night Grief dallied with no law nor limit knows deep woes roll silent like gentle wind Behold the thorns hidden under each rose Distress like dumps when time is kept with tears Carven Music by Austrheim, Helgesen & Overskott Lyrics by Keltziva A world like this we never before have seen A prism in which the shadows are all dispelled - THE LIGHT IS SCARPENED! ALL THAT REMAINS IS THE LIGHT We are not so far away from home We are leaving again Are you the one who will bleed my tears of will my enchantment burst once again? Burst under your horrific words? We do not seek to be the source of your spells of sadness I seek and I find my power to creation, deliberation to expulsion Do not sense, but see, my falsification While I know this, I do not longer know All there is, the taste of blood AS LONG AS THERE IS LIFE THERE IS HOPE FOR AN END Spire Music by Austrheim Jeg dyrker rottene Til min egen vrede Og ser mine spirer gro I en kamp mot minegen glede prover jeg å slikke min sår Da jeg ikke lenger lot dem drepe Og jeg så kilden til minegen ro Skal minegen spire av meg selv Bli til en mektig skog In Remembrance of a Shroud Music & lyrics by Austrheim We who run from the presence of the sun By the voided bitter gleam chasing darkness like a dream All with weary tasks fordone 'scape the serpents tounge To catch the shadow, let the substance fall Like the sun's bright beam entangled in melancholia Entangled in the black roars of an image's stream Put the wretch that lies in woe in remembrance of a shroud The match agreed with flames admired Now I find hideousness in mind Shall I disturb this hallowed house? I have been sent with dusk before to sweep the dust behind the door Splendid Horror Music by Helgesen, Austrheim & Clausen Lyrics by Helgesen & Austrheim To these pale spectres dwelling in the blackness of my sins I behold her swirling tongue floating in my swart lake I can almost touch her limbs Cloaked beneath her woes I found my nothingness withered among the pity It Was Dead Splendid horror, splendid horror Splendid horror, splendid horror The blood-red water drives me into ecstasy I scream of pleasure as I crawl down to her Even though they fainted there is really nothing to fear!!

Helgesen: Vocals and Bass Elin Overskott: Keyboards and Piano Artwork Info "Autumn Leaves" was recorded at Soundstudio during December 1996 and March, April and May 1997 Mixed in June 1997 Produced by Dismal Euphony and Terje Refsnes All cover art by Vibeke Tveiten 1997 Review To be honest, I don't think this cd differs much from their previous cd "Soria Moria Slott". Luckily that cd was totally great, and so is this one. They still have they very typical sound: Black metal with very very much keyboards, female vocals and cool melodies. Shame it doesn't last so long, as the last song is some kind of vague remix of four and a half minutes, then some minutes silence, and then an even vaguer song. But the cd is still definitely something you could listen to until your ears bleed. Rating: 7.5 out of 10
