01 - As The Twilight Gave Birth To The Night
As the twilight gave birth to the night
I walked into the forest
The twisted trees clawing at the skies
These are my true dominions
The mist glows red and ablaze the sky
And the funeral wind blows cold
This is where I shall sacrifice
Here I will end my mortal life
Seduced by the October moon
Drowning in its frozen grace
Tempting my nocturnal lusts
Bathing my pale cold face
These dark forests are singing to me
In tongues it cries my name
Bidding me into its deep dark womb
Where my spirit forever shall dwell
And a cold wind of evil
whispers my name in the forest,
I dance with witches and trolls
As the twilight gave birth to the night
I am here... Forever
My burial place will be the mountains
the forests and the seas
And so my name shall be remembered
for all eternity
And still a cold wind of evil
whispers my name
in the forest as my spirit dance
with witches and trolls
Their hymns are praising me
For I am their newborn king
Forever...
These dark surroundings are mine
From the smallest stone to the tallest tree
And so I will be the ruler of this night
I will reign in divinity
02 - Enslave The Astral Fortress
The stench in the air
is cold as a winter night
The loss of my inner quest
The fallen star faded away
Deeper, deeper I sink
into the embrace of sorrow
The winds of liars caresses me
Down here in the crying valleys of the dreamers
Detest and yearning tears me apart
I can see the thousand points of light
up in the burning sky
And I knew: it has to be done...
The salt of anguish
fills my bleeding veins
My heart is pierced by its falseness
Darkness... The pride is defeated
once again as I rise
I stand under a flaming sky
Deeper, deeper I sink
in hope to find the fallen star
and the secret of the northern lights
Aurora Borealis, Stellae Trajectio
take me
Never again...
Nothing forever...
I can see the thousand points of lights
up in the burning sky
And I knew: it has to be done
And it seems like I'm swallowed
by its mass of oblivion
and forever to be in flames
03 - Through The Midnight Spheres
Among evil gods I sleep
Their ancient hymns were my dreams
But the vast and cold forest beckons
So I rose with the funeral moon
From my coffin of blackest stone
From the crypt which for aeons embraced me
Through the portals and into the frozen night
Its calling for me...
In darkness reborn
Through the midnight spheres I dance
Spreading my wings Caressing the black infernal night
"From a timeless past I have risen to rule this kingdom of mine"
The eye of the wolves will guide me
Through landscapes of ancient black
I am eternal, I am supreme
I ride the nocturnal winds
The cry of ravens will carry me
forth dimensions unknown by mortals
I am eternal, I am supreme
The nocturnal winds are mine!!
I descend into forests long forgotten
The naked trees united in perfect melancholy
And I saw spirits dancing
Swirling insane
Their knowledge revealed to me
In darkness reborn
Through the midnight spheres I dance
Spreading my wings
In this forest of pernicious black
Night is eternal
The sun is forever consumed
Embraced by the beautiful blackness
So sombre, so pure...
04 - The Eclipse Of Infernal Storms
The gate rose before him
It stood there open wide
A bloodstained portal of might
His travel to the land unknown
I awakened from this dismal dream
the same as thousand times before
This sight is so impure
So filled with mourning and with grace
It cries a message to me
of which I cannot ever grip
A man and this enormous gate
with his name on it written in blood
I fall to my knees
Spelling my name
to be unleashed, and ever blessed
The great beyond lies open in front of me
I could see the gate
rise before my eyes
With a freezing smile
I entered the realm of death
I could see the truth
like an open book
And then I knew
what I had become
I awakened from this dismal dream
The treshold to the dead
I've passed this enormous gate
with my name on it written in blood
In blood... I fall to my knees
Spelling my name
to be unleashed, and ever blessed
The great beyond lies open in front of me
05 - Emerging From Her Weepings
Crawling in grief
across the distant fields
I am the desire of which engraved thee...
The formation was set
An enormous storm arouse
As the thirteenth night ablazed
with its web of obscurity
Oh, you glorious blackened
infernal screaming belle
Reveal the name,
unleash the path for bereavment
I have found the key
The key to the ancient flame
Awaiting the sight to dwell in mournful immortality
Like a breeze I levitate, only lead by the owl's wisdom
We followed her majestic sleep
so majestic and delight
Her weeping – touched me, caressed me
Her weeping – screamed and longed for me
Her weeping – gave me all her might
Her weeping – her weeping enthroned me
I am the desire of which branded you...
Into the glowing mist
Her moanings tore my cloak
Out from her empty veins
I emerged with wrath and lust
My blood in her mouth I saw the passion
The cold passion to become what she became
Her weeping – touched me, caressed me
Her weeping – screamed and longed for me
Her weeping – gave me all her might
Her weeping – her weeping enthroned me
I shall remain, forced to meet the dawn
Bleeding widow, I belong to her
The clouds were black as the starless night
For sunset I yearn, dusk you mysterious
06 - Failing Wings
There will be no beauty
The secrets of the unborn
An angel's cries with its shattered wings
The holy blood is spilled
I fell from grace, I fell into the deepest abyss
The evocations wrath hit me like a fist
To burst out in scars of distant grief
The August flames swallowed me with its kiss
Never to be found is the key to purgatory
I felt the winds of death and its fury
They approached from the halls of sacred duty
The fall of daylight has begun
From the ruins of my domains
They gathered with a pagan oath
To reign these walls for aeons
Hungry for the bewinged
The fullmoon I adore and its mysteries
I raise my hands with their blood in me
As blasphemy reigns over me...
I fell from grace, I fell into the deepest abyss
The evocations wrath hit me like a fist
To burst out in scars of distant grief
The August flames swallowed me with its kiss
Fullmoon...
07 - Vittra
And then she came forth, the forest goddess
Her crying hymns were calling for me
I followed her into the eternal vast forests
And so, so I found myself lost there in
08 - Sunless Dawn
Hear the howlings in the night
I'm one with its might
Enchated by the calling cries
as I gaze into the sombre skies
Awaiting the shining
The fire never seen
Waiting for the darkened path which'll
leads me straight to the one who dance in my dreams...
In surrounding flames I must be wrapped
Wolves run by my side
as I walk towards eternity
In hate they'll gather with my shadow
as the moon arise
A scent of twilight
Into fading woods I march
I glimmer a shyness in the red
In eternal dreams I drown
As the children of Fenriz
sang their moonlight serenades
I made love to the midnight winds
The forest embraced me
with its impurity
In ecstacy my tears fell
like autumn silver rain
Now I stand above the human race
I've solved it all, the mysteries of night
Its revealed to me
With a smile I see
These stars (unseen) formations
That breeds my sunless dawn
09 - Exalted Above Thrones
Oh, queen of the night hear my call
I raise my sword as many times before
Calling for the empress to return
Opening my veins, releasing my blood
And with the burning midnight mist she came
Pale white skin and eyes of blackest flames
Nocturnal goddess of the deep
Mistress of the ancient dark
I fell into her cold embrace
The enchantress of the stars
Giving her what was hers
Pain sweet as silver thorns
Feeling exalted above thrones
Her visions were now mine
As if the sun were neverborn
we played among the stars
Drinking the lihght of the goatmoon
The universe was ours
With the purity in her kisses
I fell through the blackened skies
Promising life everlasting
As a king and queen we'd rule
And in dreams eternal we met
Dancing through this hellish night
floating through worlds beyond cosmos
Giving her what was hers
Pain sweet as silver thorns
Feeling exalted above thrones
Her visions were now mine
I felt exalted above thrones
Love me, destroy me, suck me dry
But dawn came as it always does
Fading away she left me crying
With the loss of my bethrothed burning
I left my shell
and this mortal world
to recieve life everlasting
...Life everlasting
