SONG: Living Dead
(Lyrics by Hellid; Music by Andersson)
This is the world you're free to explore
life is the paradise you've been searching for
you are the god you try to implore
you're living in a hell that none
but you have bore
born as you were in deadly sin
you are to lose you cannot win
words meant to build walls around your skin
to restrain the powers kept within
Converted you were told to find the way
to reach the land of everyday
lobotomized drowning internal dismay
I live while you decay
Penetrated soul weakened and misled
beholder of a life that perish
soon you'll wake up dead
a lie have built unto itself
a throne in your head
beholder of a life that perished
you are living dead!
Defiled the cross hanging around
your neck
with blood from never concluded lives
the symbol of spiritual lobotomy tells you're
a slave to repeated lies
(Lead: Cederlund)
I can see right through you will
cease to exist
and fade away - into your minds wasteland -
I live while you decay
(Lead: Hellid)
I gaze into your eyes
two wells of extinguished life
mental winter living lie
you're searching the long lost and long to die
illuminate your inner shadows the darkness
kept from light
you walk one way but your heads on backwards
and end up being what you fight
SONG: Sinners Bleed
(Lyrics by Andersson; Music by Andersson/Cederlund)
My skin is dripping from blood
for that moment I sighed in relief
but I was not just going to be dying
I was going to bleed like sinners bleed
Paralyzed by the fear
for something I could not believe
a paradise to some
but hell to suckers like me
unspeakable sights I behold
they're freezing and teasing my mind
terrorized by the essence from beyond
the dimensions of another kind
Moving lights
passes nihility in which I fell
descent into fright
when I was slowly send down to hell
Scarlet black all I see
the void caught up with my eyes the horrid wait suffers me
please set me free I just want to die
(Lead: Cederlund)
Palace of confusion
castle of pain
beneath these walls of power
I'm lost in hells Domain
I am scattered in my own blood
I am losing all my beliefs
but I was not just going to be dying
I am bleeding like sinners bleed
SONG: Evilyn
(Lyrics: Andersson; Music: Andersson/Cederlund/Rosenberg)
Morrow
the day of dark
in my sorrow I am engulfed
my fear showed
my forever needed spark
Gone is my fear for not having it all
here now and forever
yet I'm still hearing her calls
for my wicked needs but I will never answer
dead now is satan's daughter
She sucked the marrow out of my life
but still her I was feeding
god's beloved Satan's wife
I was breeding
She's gone down below
but I'm no longer at her side
and I'm drunk with the love
of the dead who is my bride
I married the dark
from which I was born
like an infant I cried
she gave me the spark
from which I was torn
like an elder I died
I'll never believe
and I never will see
her face again
my burning desires
burns deep in hellfire
I will rise in the end
(Leads: Cederlund, Hellid)
SONG: Blessed Be
(Lyrics: Hellid; Music: Andersson/Cederlund/Rosenberg)
(Leads: Cederlund)
Step inside yourself and emerge
enter a realm of worlds
there is more behind more to find
you're living through eyes so blind
embedded in hollowness
the future lies marked out before your feet
don't break the circle play your part
remain silent in your seat
Frustration may be all you feel
all you have inside but remember thy
existence nothing but what you make it
virtual reality or merely fake it
Be a shadow in the dark
Erased and blanked you'll fall apart
be among be nothing else
blessed be thee who lost yourself
Come walk the footsteps of lost generations
take a dive into the source of all lies
let it's water flow your system
come see the paradise
Life's the book of blood unforeseen
is it's day try to get inside not through
seize it as it opens up before you
(Leads: Cederlund, Hellid, Cederlund, Hellid)
I'll show you heaven take you
where you've never been
you'll be a man before mind in a land before sin
you must pretend that you are everything
that you're not
look down upon what you've been
and give away all you've got
No mistakes are ever made
predestined you must let all instincts fade
entrapment based within thee
but you will always blessed be
SONG: Stranger Aeons
(Lyrics: Hakansson; Music: Andersson/Cederlund)
One more dead soul there's a hole in the sky
illuminating dreamquest the prophet's eye
by virtue of madness a sign of faith
lurking at the threshold you're lost
between the gates
Death's a solution to life's dead illusions
Stranger aeons - stained by re-creation
Stranger aeons - of hallucination
(Leads: Cederlund, Hellid)
Stranger things that eternal lie
awaiting beyond the time to die
in the city of gods in the temple of lies
initiation progression Zarathustra cries
You were wrong from the start
we will never part
Stranger aeons - stained by re-creation
Stranger aeons - of hallucination
Take strange drugs - swallow your pride
It's all but a game - nuclear stock piles
SONG: Chaos Breed
(Lyrics: Hakansson; Music: Andersson/Cederlund)
Darker clouds and storms of chaos
summons the king of fear
forces of Agharthi arise and come forth
behold by the Sumerian tears
at the abbey of darkness where Nan-Zi dwells
awaiting the stormy sea
shreds of flesh chained to walls
to greet the master of realms
I am the bringer of seed I will bring eternity
I am what this world needs I am chaos breed
Worships forsaken beyond
the world of Dankar
manifest of the left hand path
inquisitions creations torments lost souls
the horrors of the grapes of wrath
(Leads: Hellid, Cederlund)
The dawn of the blackest sun of all skies
mysteries of Khem revealed
ancient arts of process of pain
no longer concealed
Legends of books bound in blood
secrets of necrodaemon
brought by powers upon the face of Earth
Agharthi reigns the new aeon!
(Lead: Hellid)
SONG: Crawl
(Lyrics & Music: Andersson)
Father set me free from this altar of death
dead fingers cold as ice touches my flesh
as it passed through my soul and body
the fear I thought was gone grows
tears of regret and confusion
this is not what I wanted to know
I have embraced the truth
beyond lies where honesty reigns
I thought I gave my life
but back I was only given pain
I once stood at the threshold of my desire
losing ground now I'm this horrid truth's denier
The nocturnal hour is passed
here nothing can last
I sought and screamed in pain
but there was nothing to gain
Nihility arise from the bottom of no lies
from here to eternity I just can be set free
(Leads: Cederlund, Hellid)
Father help me die away from reality
my arms and legs are bound
please grant me mortality
I'm losing it
crawling upon these white walls of truth
for the darkest cold I've wasted my entire youth
I'm crawling down
the dirt that I licked off my mind
the truth you'll never want to find
SONG: Severe Burns
(Lyrics & Music: Andersson)
Excruciating sickness
the reprisal of your sins
you stand and weep
incurable sides
infecting all parts of your skin
you feeble creep
Severe burns eviscerates you from inside
making you suffer from a bloody tide
Infertile beings
cries out in vain
'til they're insane
as they're bleeding
predictable
it's the way it turns
you can't comprehend
nor understand
the reason why it burns
Severe burns built upon lies of the fear
of your own death bodily incapacity can't take away your
breath
(Leads: Hellid, Cederlund)
Left to die with a body burnt
to god you prayed
nothing gained
only pain you earnt
Severe burns exterminates
causing your deprave
undeniable prophecy only shreds remain
SONG: Through the Collonades
(Lyrics by hakansson; Music: Andersson)
The awakening of the gods
the rising of the souls
here I lie tied to my bed
awaiting the coming of ghouls
I close my eyes as if to die
entering again
the labyrinths of deep within
beyond where conscious ends
Hellish terrors risen
in the mountains of unknown
below the skies of I
sleeps a ruler in his throne
Beneath the collonades of fear
deep below his halls
in the endless realms of I
inside the entombed vaults
The insane watching eye
staring through my bones
shreds the soul out of my skin
and leaves me naked and alone
(Leads: Cederlund, Hellid)
Although my dreams have ended
as I wished in weakened thought
beyond me night is total
and through the collonades I walk
