Watain Lawless Darkness 1. Death's Cold Dark De profundis mors advocat! The pact is sealed, crystallised Dark are the paths without return Ash and blood colour my world Ever downward winding steps spiraling to the utmost depths Where the sun is but a memory of a murdered dream As if emerged from the Abyss Evoked by his own tongue Antichrist, Devil's child Possessed by the night Through will unfettered in darkness Death was granted life The blind man was given sight And the fivefold star to shine forevermore As a flame within the heart Restlessly beckoning through The guilt and vanity of a world deaf to it's call To dare what's lit sole by the friar's lantern Through labyrinths so desolate and dark to travel far in solitude and silence 'cross thornclad deserts vast To witness the erection of a temple At the place where order dies and chaos unfold It's tower shall lean out over the precipice Oh the wonder's those that mount it shall behold For there the waves of Absu smash the rocks of definition And feast upon them with erosive force Yes there the ancient giants of primordial waters Are hunting in the twilight near the shores And I am their son, my ribcage the shrine, my flesh the prison For my blood is their blood, my will is theirs Mine is the gift that shall conquer all fears See my glowing eyes reflect a heart that burns That in turn reflects the chasm for which it yearns He shall return to the Abyss Heeding his masters call Antichrist, Devil's child At one with the night Wordless without form in deepest depths, Yet most besung, most present and most high Thou wellspring from which horror's holy flow Through gates wide open Thou who placed these words of praise upon my lips The infant's cry and the rapist's sigh of joy The world has gone blurred but the road gets Ever clearer in search of thy burning kingdom 2. Malfeitor By the blessing of shunned Gods the cord of life was deformed, twisted into a noose to strangle the miscarriage of the I upon which he shall feast that was spawned by the semen of horror's fertile as his many limbs extend across the Abyss thirteen horns and a million tusks in a thousand jaws that breathe only to chew the chains that tie him to Assiah and titan is their strength Metamorphosphordus malformation your's is the call I follow astride the wings of Death to the crossroads Malfeitor, the master and servant in unity at one with the Abyss when in your possession I am against the blindness of men thine eyes have been granted immunity so that my sight be clear when wielding the Sword of the Damned For I am begotten of the virgin whore as truth and torment, priest and warrior now behold as I pervert and destroy their law as the image of my philius moists the labia of Shekinah for dark are the desires that dwell within my heart and the Devil is in my kiss Yes he is Malfeitor! in your possession I am twilight god of transformation at the crossroads we meet again I'll pace the path of madness with your banner held high to the death's head true yes, I am of my father the Devil and the lusts of my father I will do 3. Reaping Death There is a place beyond the dreamworlds, Past the womb of night, Lying in wait beyond the barriers of light, Shunned by the living, cursed by the dead Here's no peace, here's no peace None within, none without Skinned bare by daggers that never doubt Timeless in wisdom, unbound in might, Holy Evil! By trembling hands concealed, Yet by fearless ones revealed There the blood of Abel impregnates the soil, In which hungry darkness dwells and serpents coil, So that plants may rise to bear the strangest fruit, For all of ye that hunger Higher! Higher! Come on you sons of fire! Daughters of the black moon, Practitioners of art most dire Dance! Dance! In twisting, white-eyed trance, Let us praise the flowering darkness Brush forth across the land of Nod ye wicked ones, Ye who wear the mark and hold the keys, Come now, let us worship, At the womb of blasphemies Rivers of blood! Rivers of blood! For the black earth's quenchless thirst, The offering must never cease, Until the last man has been slain Upon the altar of Mefisto Higher! Higher!Let's set the night on fire! Black moon bear witness to our rite, Beneath the devil's pyre Unchain, Set free, the flames of the Adversary! Scorch the earth and devour all, That sifted from the ashes be Hail! Hail! Thou who makes the cosmos wail! In anguish as we fuck the world, And sodomize the god that failed Cain! Cain! By thy blade let all god's men be slain! Harvest now the fruits of death and set the night aflame! Again! Fire! Gather! Gather! Raise the flames for so long scattered! For aeons cursed, yet proud we stood, Our liberation all that mattered It's time! It is time! The bells of Armageddon chime! Rejoice ye now, oh hungry ones, Harvest time has come... 4.

Wolves Curse How the moon leer's at thy ignorance Ye who laughest in the face of Death Know ye not its ever-gaping jaws? They always hunger Oh they wake up from their slumber now Heeding the call of the wild From the shadows they come forth Abominations of the north! Murderers, spawn of might impregnated by many a blackened will The stalking horror For long time gone Hungry now for the kill Holy guardians of the secrets nocturne For which many a man have burned And so the nightwinds cry out their dreaded warning wail The wolves have returned Beware!

The wolves curse Beware! The dark Fear! The lupus luna Beware! Watain Kerberos are We The three-pronged spear Shape-shifters, always hungry Far beyond the grace of God lies the lair Where shadows fall Beware! 6. Lawless Darkness 7. Total Funeral At first a noisome pack I am the rancid mark that devours making man Once upon a whimpering babe I am the murderer's hand that wields the blade of regicide Oh Babylon thou harlot Succubus of a thousand suitors I am the foetid stench of thy burning hag's embrace A perverse incubation I am the olive branch corrupt with venomous asps Totalt funeral Desolate one Total funeral Total death Around their neck the noose draws tight A knot of thorns felling holy men and kings I am the vile countenance of the gibbet's grasp Of what was wrought and where was spent the seed I am the black spider, the splinter within our minds Fill your mouth with the foul earth Suffocate on the souls I am the messiah of famine and (f)lies Grim brilliance in frost Desolation made flesh I am the son of darkness and death Total funeral Desolate one Total funeral Total death! 8. Hymn To Qayin Mighty path-opener Striking fast as the sharpest of spears Bringer of the black light I bask in your halo of glory and might Treader of the Path of thorns, cursed yet truly blessed Through exile, coronation and conquest To the throne of the Ravens of Death Mighty master Qayin, guide my hand For my deeds are thine Firstborn of the Black Light Lord of the Shadows of Death And father of the Bloodline And as I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death I shall fear no evil, for Baaltzelmoth is with me His scythe smites all my enemies And his 7 keys open the gates leading beyond this prison so foul Death bringer Death dealer Whose might even the pale raped moon reflects Thorn-crowned master, scythe wielder Bearer of the serpent's mark By your left hand green was stained red to bring forth the Black For to kill one is to murder all The mark on your brow is the sign I follow and bear Show me the secrets of seed, root and fruit To harvest from the tree of knowledge Before the final reaping lead by Death's sinistral hand From below the first grave mound At the crossroad of life and death The gates within were opened without The great black cross stands solemn upon the skull and the crossed bones And the mysteries whispered by the dwellers within the With the signing of the first dead In Death Through blood and incense burning in snake shapes You opened wide the gates And I looked and beheld a black horse and its masters name was Qayin And Hell followed with him 9. Kiss Of Death Though manmade, of terrestrial birth I've always walked upon this earth A stranger searching the unknown For that distant place that is my home Oft I watched without affright The stern magnificence of night By moonless skies and beasts denied Bewitched am I, and wanting A yearning beyond form A call without sound Enter ye pale lord of silence With passion I have come to loathe This globous sty of vain misgrowth Where man amass in nauseous mound Flesh 'pon death 'pon flesh abound So come! Reap! Kiss of Death! Lips envenomed Devil's breath Beneath mistletoe sharpened we shall meet A unit to extinguish the failure of the primordial touch The kiss of death My love shall last 'til death do me part For thee, ye children of my heart Ye glass of swiftly running sand Ye harvester, ye cold white hand The yearning has been with me always To tread inside your timeless hallways To know thy scent and taste thy flavour To sense thy grasp, oh reaping saviour Shapes without form Voices without sound Enter ye pale lord of sorrow Kiss of death Lips envenomed Devil's breath Beneath the waning crescent, we shall meet Eager and fearless shall I receive the final touch The kiss of death! Of death 10. Waters Of Ain Take me home Ye beckoning ocean waves! My vessel is prepared Eagerly, my spirit yearns Through the gates, Transylvania calls Anointed am I Exalted on a course to man averse Cloven-hooved my footsteps be The self withdrawn Expanding as the rays of death illuminate The bridge and the path to the waters of Ain Where no corner's define To the waters of Ain Where no circles confine To the waters of Ain To the twilight of time To the Death To unmask the featureless face and know its numbing beauty To remove the fig leaf from her cunt and enter Beyond! To pluck the fruits forbidden Ye grapes most ripe, ye blessings of the underworld Unleash your bitter rivers Burn this tongue of mine Oh wormwood sweet Damnation's infernal wine From the waters of Ain Where no corner's define From the waters of Ain Where no circles confine Flow, ye waters of Ain As wormwood and wine To the Death! Their waters as one water in a stream against all streams Sweet and salt now intermingle in the waking veins of Kingu The havens tower in the yonder now Where my vessel shall set sail A voyage without end across the ageless waters To shine beyond! Do not mistake me for a star Though I'll shine like them at night But behold instead the darkness in between them The Devil's light Fearless I tread at the outpost The brilliant abode of the dark At the bridge from the known to the great unseen I shall not linger Saturh, great dark in the yonder I give you my soul to devour So that I may be judged in your deathlike glare And purified For thou art the wisdom's keeper The shoreline where truth shall unwind A truth that in life I am doomed to search But shall die to find And so his burning ship departs out from these shores Never to return And so he sets his sail Towards the setting sun at the end of the world
