Fever, Flames And Hell On a battlefield up north Tons of steel united in bloodshed Sombre men of invisible might The fallen snow covers All the wounds of the earth Slaves of restriction Remains this skeleton earth The dust kills all sound We're sucked into a black hole The eyes that watched From the top of the hill The eyes that capture human guilt A stiff vulture claw shows the way To a land of mist To a land of war Night of torment Fever, Flames and Hell In the cold grip of Armageddon 2. Doomed To Walk The Earth As Slaves Of The Living Dead You are born into bondage You are born as a slave What am I? "You're a slave" Forever submissive Forever in holy chains (You are) born by a whore By a filthy cunt Which spread disease The disease of god You have the ability to rise After a fall We await impatiently For a divine sundown You're a slave Of your own restrictions Of Christian morals Of the book of lies You have the ability to rise After a fall We await impatiently For a divine sundown You're a slave Of your own restrictions Of Christian morals Of the book of lies Stop being so humble Stop showing remorse Cut it off The hands that feed the blind Can you move? With those holy chains The grey horizon I paint it black See through tomorrows Spiteful eyes The fury of the north men (within) those who still believe The holy slumber must end (After) Thousand years of dormancy :Et spiritus sancti: 3. Morbid Fascination Of Death Lifeless landscapes Dead trees up in the hills Pure autumn bliss In cold November On a night of gusting wind Clouds came down - down Together we were beasts We lay in the cold dusk - Of his negligence In the mist of the turmoil Frozen heart Beast of winter Mental frost Beast of winter Mental frost 4. Through Self-Mutilation The self-mutilation Necrosis of the soul Dark is the shadows of life Hot as Hell You take the matters into your own hands From now on it's downhill A single candle burns - In the vast consuming darkness Uplifting like a funeral Through these years you were created In the void between life and death A shimmering blade shreds through his flesh At the peak of his night - time bliss Misanthropes, kings and queens And a painful vision of Hell It burns The blisters on your hands So nebulous, dark as December You should be dead by now Lost in time and space But you push the limits further You hate the human race 5. Knokkelmann Doden er en ensom ferd Doden er bade angst og lja Med et glimt du skal fa se - Inn i evighetens oye En fattig sjel Sultet i hjel Dodens kalde hand Hentet knokkelmann I solfalls ild... Evig sovn Nattens taketeppe SIik sloknet en gammel flamme Solfals ild Du sa nei til livets sang Gang pa gang Tatt igjen av tidens tann Til helvete med knokkelmann Solfalls ild: 6. Warlord Of Misanthropy I have died from within The beginning of an end But I still stand Seeing red The anger made me strong The vision was mine Horizon becomes vast Claim your throne The fire turns to flames I had it all Before the fall Warlords of misanthropy Powers Spiritual powers to foresee Warlords of misanthropy Warriors of the fall Through sinful years The hellish burden That I was given: 7. A World Of Bones An evil face The eyes so cold The dark labyrinth of the human mind Key to a kingdom A world of bones New revelation, anger is the fuel I am a sinner On the last dreadful day of judgement Heaven I unbind all spirits who Abide this hole In symbols speaking I woke you from the deepest dream Open the gates Behold your sentence In the sign of the cross And the crown of thorns The precious (human) blood Burning holy tears Lifetime sinner Which saw his sign But the eyes were cold 8. Carpathian Forest Three times the eclipse Before she lays her soul to rest Channelling the darkness of many nights All this was once her dream See and feel The blackened blade of revenge Cold white towering mountains The passage to the land of phantoms Deep forlorn woods Where the gleam of neither light or - Bliss reach The castle lies in the mist Between the mountain and marshes Throughout the last centuries Have the moonshine enlightened her coffin Black soul of the hunter The hungering thirst The enchantress of the night The hungering thirst Evil, devour its soul Since the medieval times Have your shadow haunted: 9. Cold Confort A spirit rose from the earth Slowly leaving... Their candle-flame lonely, and so needing Like dust in the night the prayers rise Under the sick image of Christ They talk to the nothingness Old wounds were never mended Something drops from the (autumn) leaves Again it rains: In a dry corner, salvation again declines Sleep like a skull in the hard ground Nothing for ears nothing for eyes Without a shadow, waiting for nothing The dark room, the moist tenement (of earth) The cold kiss of release, great light He was never man enough In a world of cruel faces He discovered that he was never man enough He discovered nothing Far above and beyond... All in the name of god The eyes refused to look ahead... 10. Speechless When we came through The veil of the night The fall of man We gave you our hearts The watcher The sentinel The "God" that took you away Where ends our journey? We slip away And shadow falls We gave it all You found no god Mankind will forever weep!!! 11. Nostalgia From the ashes he returns Through the seal of the dark He looks upon the enchanting moon His lips are dry And crave for human blood Through all centuries We see the horizon clearly Deep in our hearts Under the shelter of a tree It lives in the well of time The ancient dread of non-existence Close your eyes, it leads the way (To the) Treasure throne of memories This is the emptiness This is life Make a final sign (And) Leave the world behind
