The Vampire Lord Speaks... I am the one who is of the night I am the one whose breed is of the Dragon I am the one whose song is of the wolf I am the one whose life is of your Blood I am the one who is whorshipped for thousands of years I am the one you shall serve FOREVER ! The Warlock Hundreds of years have passed (since) I've been baptised in blood I've lived in twilight times And survived the frozen nights When the earth was new And nature was pure When the gods were strong And Nanna was bright and full My eyes have grown old, and my hairs are now white But my wisdom is boundless and my soul is black NECRONOMICON, SOFOMON'S KEY, EIBON'S BOOK and DE VERMIS MYSTERIES (Forbidden books, unholy thoughts) I've talked to the dead And the creatures of the Night On magical dates When the thesis of the planets was right We gather in the woods For the great Sabbath Witches chant, blaphemous spells of wrath Demons and werewolves, dance by the fires of sin The woods echo with the virgin's scream I make love with Babylon's whore As Satan watches pleased from his throne of gore I'm the priest of the great Tiamat And my sins are countless, crimes of lust The true shape of the Dragon was revealed to me She granted my soul with immortality Voice of weakness tells me, "you were wrong" A King of darkness, facing his dawn Eternal damnation, threatens my soul As death drawing near on my powers I call Time has decayed my body But my will remains the same So I'll scream the ultimate spell And power flows again in my empty shell Death to all that deceived me Eternal hate to all that tricked me Fear and pain to all that hurt me May they suffer in the flames of Damnation forever ( The gathering ) ( The ritual ) ( The coming ) Last Song for Valderie (instrumental) Unchaining the Wolf (At War...) The message is spread around A new breed of warriors emerged The fires of war shall burn The howling of Fenriz will be heard With blades forged in hatred And souls baptised in Hell Bearing the rune of power Unchaining the wolf We live the days of Ragnarok Apocalyptic warfare We drink the tears of Innocence And spit your gods of mercy Like humble dogs you'll lick our feet Like raging wolves we'll hurt you By the law of the Talon We'll reclaim our jewel throne The time has come, to claim our ground The fallen one, is standing proud Spirits of mayhem, sons of wrath We praise thy name, strengthen our hearts Les Litanies De Satan NOTE> The lyrics of "Les Litanies De Satan" are not included NOTE> in the CD-booklet.
