1. Veneration For The Dead Cults of death, many is number Those of death and those of slumber The grave has more than one name Burned to ashes or staying the same Life goes on even when dead On earthly ground or beyond Thus have the mighty fallen And so the one was gone Trust to gain wisdom from beyond Fear to prevent the deceiving tongue Veneration for the dead Or neither nor Glorification of the ancients Upon the threads of the ancestors Whether gone north or south The dead will live on 2. Dead Man's Eyes In an oaken high seat An aura of ghastly presence Eyes of evil, dead stare Do you wanna get possessed? Evil has many forms Frightened by fate Harvest the living You don't wanna get possessed? Buried beneath stones Still there's fear in the air It doesn't matter anyway You are possessed Reaping thy brother Rebellion from the graves This is just the beginning Of a terror march unleashed 3. Bewitchment Eyes of damnation An oxen with the stare Death surrounds it Birds and beasts withers Behold the march of the undead Claws of death around each neck Tears of ice ? bewitchment Dead to the ground ? bewitchment Coal black bodies lifeless Bones hammered to dust Buried beneath stones The ground is recking Around every corner In every empty street Look over your shoulder Eyes of evil is omnipresent Sorrow and pain Paranoia and confusion Ghastly presence Death itself into the dead of night 4. Second Death Beneath mountain stones An evil of primal forces Uncorrupt and heavy Man is far too weak The headland above the sea The 2nd burial mound Their bodies were weary And their minds were dreary All for nothing Though years pass A glass of life Refilled when emptied Uncorrupt pitch black Weight of an ox Fires to cleanse And to reduce And to die again And to wish for a 2nd death 5. Entering The Beast Miserable animal wandering alone Without logic, logic can't prevail Instinct of primal needs Licking the ashes so futile Burn a bull dapple ? grey Three times risen from the grave The face if evil is unknown Entering the beast Of decay Entering the beast Of decay Gored master Mind left behind Left to sink in a marsh Silence in hereafter 6. Oaken Dragons The death of a brother A withstanding trust Hail the one who left us Soon to gaze beyond Clear is the sky The stars to guide Oaken dragon sail Our bond of blood is sealed Your trust is laid with me Your journey won't fail The dawning of a new world The old one takes you in Spiritual journey On a spiritual path Rebirth and death unite The eye in the sky Energy of nature You're dead but never fallen 7. Thirteen To The Perished The shroud of darkness torn By funeral night sky Far away and beyond Floating ashes and dust Hooves across the heavens The spirit rose from watery dust The horses flesh to feed A journey without time To bid farewell Godspeed on the hereafter Body to feed, spirit to ride 13 to the perished Sacrifice and pagan prayer Oaken dragon and flames Flesh to feed, hooves to ride 13 to the perished 8. The Thrall And The Master Divide the riches in numbers three One to the brothers of allegiance Two to serve the funeral feast Three to the journey to the other world Embrace this sacrifice She will serve you well Sleep in the fire To enter a higher self Ta imot mitt offer Hun vil tjene deg vel Son I ilden For ? oppn? et hoyere jeg Feast upon the last days Earthly values will fade away You'll leave this world Caress the flames of oak Dog's cut in half, sacrifice ritual Among draught beasts, cows, cocks and hen The thrall is passed among men Pain is futile, all for the love of the dead Lyrics in plain text format
