1. Greeting Immortality [Music: Eucharist] [Lyrics: Erlandsson] Beneath the ground Where I sleep among immortals Patiently I rest Waiting for another day to rise I gather strenght To complete my desires And search in darkness for purity For a saviour to release me As I look back at my former livings Sadness reflects within me Wounds deep inside my soul Wounds that never will heal Tears are falling in despair And the blood in my veins are frozen As I realize That I never will be forgiven 2. The Religion Fo The Blood-Red Velvet [Music: Eucharist] [Lyrics: Erlandsson] A blackened night stared like dying eyes through the window I was still awake as a body rose before me A boy in small age embraced the velvet in which he had created His eyes enriched the beauty of all imaginations My wife entered the room She was not able to spell her delight She took him to her breast I wiped of my tears The blood-red velvet now became a symbol of life in my vocabulary I covered the whole building with it so that all would know that there is life The religion of the blood-red velvet He grew with a crown upon his head and made belief and love for him strong Like a way to honour my creativity he wrote the religion of the blood-red velvet 3. March Of Insurrection [Music: Eucharist] [Lyrics: Erlandsson] A diciple of ancient rites A time when reality was my only shelter from the weak and wicked But now As time has changed I sit here on my exalted throne and king I have now become Foremost in our march of insurrection I am the creation and destruction A purpose of all sacrifies I am all what was ment to be I spread the seed of evil Among the lost I punish Death I will cause Generations are entombed in pain [Lead Markus] As I have my sword SLaying, twisting Plunging through their souls Come fallen angels, follow me now On through the path of insurrection 4. My Bleeding Tears [Music: Eucharist] [Lyrics: Erlandsson] The dissolving of me The burning fires are within Looking for no tomorrow Living only in thoughts of yesterday Terrifying darkness will meet you if you try to intrude The depths of my mind travel far from here I speak only for myself and I blame nobody else For what I have done I will always be left to carry my pain Behold my bleeding tears that fall because you will never understand how I feel When I am nothing but dust Do not cry for me I have caused all of this myself because the depths of my mind travel far from here 5. Floating [Music: Eucharist] [Lyrics: Erlandsson] October sun [Lead Thomas] Falling calmly down the horizon Everything looks cold And the natural beauty surrounds this solemn province But in my eyes this blasphemous grace is falling apart So the mist that I once could hide in am I now becoming part of I dissapear Hide amidst the empty clouds And in darkness I will remain obscure Distant from this world of wickedness Floating my way through infinity I am flying paralyzed through the depths and I wonder if I ever shall find peace again [Lead Markus] My tears are falling from the wasted generations Creating rivers Overflowed with carnal suffering But from my view I discover their deserted souls dissolving on their way to deliverance Floating my way through infinity [Lead Markus] 6. A Velvet Creation [Music: Eucharist] [Lyrics: Erlandsson] I am in love with my paintings Artworks from the streams of my thoughts For a moment I was paralyzed by the colours so deep and living The dimensions of truth was so far away because this was not so real The work of my mind my hand and the brush was not carnal Yet breathing when I touched the profiles of it's colours Every picture became a sophistication of my dreams An essence of artworks was created Twelve years ago I made a sculpture and covered her body with a blanket made in sweetest velvet Her beauty could not be compared to anything I have created or seen But I could not give her life My fantasy was greater than my faith Suddenly she lifted her eyelids and stepped of the pedistal on which I placed her And so I took her hand and attached a ring to her finger She kissed me slowly to sleep I married her and we shared the time from past to present And our thoughts wnet from reality to dream My motives became part of time Motives covered in sweetest velvet 7. Into The Cosmic Sphere [Music: Eucharist] [Lyrics: Erlandsson] Night is crawling near And darkness approaches on the horizon The tops of the trees reflect As shadows on this garden The sight is getting misty Cadavers rise from wide open tombs Cold shapes in the air And the seal is broken The dead are brought together with the living Uniting on their way to paradise Escape from mortality And touch the wastes of infinity The seal is broken now We leave this place of superstition Into the cosmic sphere Plunging through dark clouds And head for completeness On illusions shown in dreams We leave this place of superstition Into the cosmic sphere 8. Once My Eye Moved Mountains [Music: Eucharist] [Lyrics: Erlandsson] Once my eyed moved mountains My sword could pierce like lightning and on the back of my horse I travelled Through eternal voids withing the timeless sphere Wolves were running by my side and they abided by my nocturnal grace My power was sevenfold and greater than any exalted form [Lead Markus] So I tasted the air of mouldering The air of mortifying resort I retired as an illusion and enshrined in bitterness 9. Wounded And Alone [Re-release bonus track] [Music: Johnsson/Erlandsson/Almsenius] [Lyrics: Erlandsson] September burns in the grass The autumn removes a dusty blanket covering my face And I see that the sunset is coming my way It is coming to crush me with its dark autumn gloom Upon the fields of my mind Death dances to the rhythm of falling hope The shadows dwell upon my body to leave the soul, without life and push the day into desperation, wounded and alone All happiness that once flourished, now withers within the four walls of the head [lead: Almsenius] Upon the fields of my mind Death dances to the rhythm of falling hope The shadows dwell upon my body to leave the soul, without life and push the day into desperation, wounded and alone All happiness that once flourished, now withers within the four walls of the head 10. The Predictable End [Re-release bonus track] [Music: Johnsson/Erlandsson/Almsenius] [Lyrics: Erlandsson] Low the music falls, tell me how sad are the tunes of death You sang to me, with a leper tounge you kissed me with your darkness I thirsted for your water I hungered for your love So bravely, fly upon my broken wings into the cold Shapes of the night, leave me here with sorrow growing from my chest Low the music falls in sombre gloom I die every day in silence, choked by the devils inside your embrace The predictable end and trampled like a serpent underneath your feet lead me by the light of your eyes, by your hearts labyrinths when trembling in your footsteps the deeper became my wounds Lyrics in plain text format
