Dark Funeral Where Shadows Forever Reign 1. Unchain My Soul From tombs of forgotten times, I summon thee from thy sleep Across the river, ferocious and wild, from the graves and vaults of my thoughts I call for you my brother let me leave this awful life and drift away beyond the borders of this realm You wandered off before me, now come back and pick me up Unchain my soul and bring me where all light will fade I cannot stay, I will not wait, I have to leave this world forever, I swear not to return Behind their masks there stand but slaves and servitude was not our trade so rise and set me free and bring me home So rise from the dead Release me from this pain I raise the dead To unfold the gates to Hell I summon all the forces from the darkness that gave birth to our exsistence and lit the hellish flames We shall stand tall and wander Where the heavens can not reach us as the path will lead into the dark and cold We can not stay and wait, the passage has been cleared The gates are open, there is no turning back Those left behind, shall die as slaves, as servants of their humble ways and Satan will be laughing from his throne So rise from the dead Release me from these chains I raise the dead To reclaim my throne in Hell And before the rise of dawn, my soul will be free I call for you my brother let me leave this awful life and drift away beyond the borders of this realm You wandered off before me, now come back and pick me up Unchain my soul and bring me where all light will fade I cannot stay, I will not wait, I have to leave this world forever, I swear not to return Behind their masks there stand but slaves and servitude was not our trade so rise and set me free and bring me home So rise from the dead Release me from this pain I raise the dead To unfold the gates to Hell So rise from the dead Release me from these chains I raise the dead To reclaim my throne in Hell 2. As One We Shall Conquer Spears fo fire speak of death Enchantress of Hell, reborn! I will have you on your knees And the beast I hold within Shall be fed with your hungering screams For we shall own the night And destroy the remains of their one „god“ And cast down Hell ... his soul! The fire grows over the barricades, and the heavens are crying with disgrace All the creatures of the light hide in fear for the night has come and will last eternally We've conquered the light and the pyres are burning The moon and the stars shine no more Goddess come forth and stand by my side As one we shall conquer them all The fire grows over the barricades, and the heavens are crying with disgrace All the creatures of the light hide in fear for the night has come and will last eternally We've coverd the sun and the ashes are dancing We came for the end of the world Goddess rejoice! Stand bare by my side As one we shall watch as they fall! For we shall own the night And consume the remains of their one „god“ and cast down to hell... his flesh! The fire grows over the barricades, and the heavens are crying with disgrace All the creatures of the light hide in fear for the night has come and will last eternally The fire grows over the barricades, and the heavens are crying with disgrace All the creatures of the light hide in fear for the night has come and will last eternally 3.

As I Ascend I roamed the night and winding shadows led me home And as I ran into the depths, there was no light to guide me on my path And the night devoured my sreams and preyed on my soul I faded away Oh now i fell and the demons laughed as they were filled with bloodlust and spitefulness Oh how I crawled through the dirt and I could feel my life will being drained and dissolved I was submerged into the endless gaping void No air to breath, no heart that beats, there was no life to carry me along Then the flares, they turned into flames and they carried my soul through the endless pain, I ascend then the flames turned into flesh and the making me whole As I ascend I was submerged into the endless gaping void No air to breath, no heart that beats, there was no life to carry me no more And the night devoured my screams and preryed on my soul I faded away As the grat fires of the deepes tracts of hell consumed all my weaknesses and traces of humanity I arose withe a grandeur without equal, with a darkness in my eyes and with a plgue to wield the world I rise as the flares are turning to flames and they carry my soul through the endless pain I rise as the flames are turning into flesh and they make me whole As I ascend Dominus Satans I am the spear Dominus Lucifer I am the fire May our black light blind the world May the serpent eat the world May our black flame burn the world May our darkness never end 5.

The Eternal Eclipse And since the day I left the burning field of the abyss I've been alone and wandering through the world in darkness I've never thought of turning back and every step I take is leading me towards my final breath of air I was alive to see the world erupt in flames and brimstone as the judgement day swept clean all the lands Humanity was doomed to die and the remnants that were left, they would forever hide in shame Towards the end The world will again Deform and transcend The eternal eclipse As we reach the end No man will again Reform or amend For the Apocalypse And when the sun turned black all weater froze to ice and all remaining life was sent into the great unknown I was alone, the king of kings but nothing was left there to rule and nothing was there to destroy I saw that day, that joyful day I conquered all then walked away and now wait for my demise Oh soon to come my glorious death and I will be the last to leave for the world will be returned to the night Towards the end My world will again Deform and transcend The eternal eclipse As we reach the end, no man will again Reform or amened for the apocalypse The world will again Deform and transcend The world will again... The eternal eclipse 7. To Carve Another Wound This ritual must never end The blood runs warm from the sacrificial shrine Inflicting open wounds As dirty claws grab her trembling fucking neck This ritual must never end The cuts run deep as we feast upon her cries Her punctured bleeding heart pounding with fear Her painful screams echo through the night her blood shall flow and cover the remnants of the severed flesh Her struggling hands only trigger more The rest will follow, in death and chaos as I drive The nail in her coffin A spear threough her heart the ceremony has just begun The blood runs warm down her sanctimonious thights We carve another wound Our blood stained hands rip her dirty little dress We sacrifice this dying earth Her lying God is waiting naked on the ground he wants her open wounds Just like a well trained dog he's waiting for his trun Her violent screams make the world convuluse As we arrange a shallow grave This ritual must never end The blood runs warm from the sacrificial shrine We open up her breathing chest As dirty claws grab her trembling fucking neck Her painful screams echo through the night her blood shall flow and cover the remnants of the severed flesh Her struggling hands only trigger more The rest will follow, in death and chaos as I drive The nail in her coffin A spear threough her heart Mother of life Deceased and erased Forgotten and buried Forever 8. Nail Them To The Cross Rise in Glory! Rise from the flames and come out from the shadows And let your dead eyes glow wherever you roam! A dark millennium of evil and sin Amass the black arts as the tide is turning Rivers of poison, oceans of depravity By the hands of the antagonist Winds of fire, storm of the apocalypse Proclaim the relentless return of Satan! Crush all morality and bring forth the Beast Hunt down the weaklings and abase all that is holy Nail them to the cross Thorns shall carve Nail them to the cross Angels weep Nail them to the cross Eradicate "God" Nail them to the cross Divinity is me Now set aflame their sanctuaries of light In masses they burn and the flame reach higher The winds keep howling As we reinstate the unholy art, of human sacrifice Let them be heard, all the trumpets of glory And let the sound of doom deafen their cries For we shall strike as one with victory at hand To conquer all, to reinstate the unholy Rivers of poison, oceans of depravity By the hands of the antagonist Winds of fire, storm of the apocalypse Proclaim the relentless return of Satan! Crush all morality and bring forth the Beast Hunt down the weaklings and abase all that is holy Nail them to the cross Thorns shall carve Nail them to the cross Angels weep Nail them to the cross Eradicate "God" Nail them to the cross Divinity is me 9. Where Shadows Forever Reign I walk through the night and haunting voices echo through my head Torturing me as I enter the hallways of the ancient realm forlorn and cold Rulers of the majestic night, I sacrifice myself I summon the one with the horns and the fire as I throw myself right into the dark I open the doors to the other side, where everything is so old I'm leaving my body and enter the void to where all shadows must return Infernal beasts of Hell, gather around my hungering heart Burn my flesh as you cleanse my soul I shall forever ream in obscurity Eternally doomed Forever to yearn Eternally doomed Forever to burn Rulers of the majestic night, I sacrifice myself I summon the one with the horns and the fire as I throw myself right into the dark I open the doors to the other side, where everything is so old I'm leaving this world and I enter the void where the shadows forever reign I walk through the dark and haunting voices echo through my mind Torturing me as I enter the hallways of the ancient realm forlorn and cold Rulers of the majestic night, I sacrifice myself I summon the one with the horns and the fire as I throw myself right into the dark And through the night I must walk As the opposer of the light While the prepetual darkness Prevails in my heart Lord Ahriman: Guitars, Bass, Lyrics Chaq Mol: Guitars Dominator: Drums Heljarmadr: Vocals, Lyrics
