Nargaroth
Era of Threnody
1. Dawn of Epiphany
2. Whither Goest Thou
Don’t cry my beldam
Your lost son must go
I take your song with me
Your tears and your woe
So I’m drawn to the world
That’s neither strange nor home
And crave for tomorrow
And the paths that I’ll roam
I wander where stars fell
And sleep where they die
I dream where the norns sings
And where wise cranes fly
In depths of the oceans
My cursed name I hide
That no one may find it
And no woe betide
I see my grandam
That worried tears shed
Feel her withered hands
That laid on my head
I still hear her old voice
And the ol’russian song
That she sung to my heart
And I carried along
I harken to far cries
The tongue of despair
The language of sinners
All humans shall err!
I howl with the archwolves
In silvery night
The aegis of the north star
Sets our fate alight
Ah, linger on now
Oh’ thou art so fair
Shalt purify my soul
In northern lights glare
Nero once burned down
What had to rebuild
And buried in madness
The ruins of guilt
We might burn our life path
And leave all behind
But what makes us sinners
Will stay in our mind
Into the blistering wilderness, the man now walks alone. A forsaken man without a country, without a hope; his soul in turmoil like the hot winds and raging sands. He is driven forward, always forward, by a god unknown, toward a land unseen…
The essence of life
Means “if”, as we know
This wisdom may decide
If we rule or bow below
I’ll tear off the Cain’s mark
And drink from a sylph
At war with the world now
At war with myself
Into the molten wilderness of sin where granite sentinels stand as towers of living death to bar his way. Each night brings the black embrace of loneliness. In the mocking whisper of the wind, he hears the echoing voices of the dark. His tortured mind wondering if they call the memory of past triumphs or wail foreboding of disasters yet to come or whether the desert’s hot breath has melted his reason into madness...
3. Conjuction Underneath the Alpha Wheel
Strangers that I paid to drive me
through town that I conjunct with thee.
Gambling on a backwoods race
throughout Vegas' asphalt maze.
One ways, driven upside down
while we crazy raced through town.
Drunk wife of the driver shout
from the backseat scolding loud.
Whispers in the desert winds
mock me and disguise my sense.
Hasten straight ahead my fate
through a town that's crying desolate.
Driven by a dead man's hope
balance on a hang man's rope.
Misguided by will-o'-the-wisp
wonder why and what's the gist.
Like springs first breath of air
that gently dances with your hair.
Like a summer solstice glare
so you appeared.
Like a prelude to a kiss
that inhere eternal bliss,
it broke the seal to my abyss
where alas! I lingered.
The blossoms bloomed alive
and my heart stopped for a while,
when the heavens light beguiled
me when we met...
...underneath the Alpha Wheel
where all lies became unreal
and the maidens kiss conceal
all the woe that cometh forth.
4. ...as Orphans Drifting in a Desert Night
5. The Agony of a Dying Phoenix
6. Epicedium to a Broken Dream
7. Love Is a Dog from Hell
8. Era of Threnody
let all i have lived
Be as if it were a dream
And anoint me with the dew
From Lethe’s stream.
New scars don’t exsist
Cause they are all the same,
They only to obide
Is their changing name.
Lethe, thy will
Shalt cometh and slay
The insane pikes
In the sewer of my soul away.
Choas and order
Aren’t oppisite states
They’re toys of a child
That it loves and it hates.
In the grave
No woman you crave
At Acheron’s shore
To Elysium you soar.
That I shall forget
An old yesterdays grief
And that this threnody
Inhees my woe’s reliefe.
O come, o death
Your brother of sleep
Take me away from
My woe and weep.
Sometimes we fall in love
With a snake of lies
But believe her everything when in
Her womb our head rest and lays.
There is nothing worse
Than to live in your own trials
As to tread nomadic
In anguish haunted miles.
(Clean)
Like a falling star
I wither away,
Silently burn
In an unobserved sky.
9. TXFO
10. My Eternal Grief, Anguish Neverending
When all is said and all sins done
Each promise broken all vowes undone
When all I’m left with are sore regrets
Drifting and sleepless in empty beds.
And when that rock there becomes your throne
To cry upon him weep all alone
Now I’m a nomad condemned to walk alone
To face my wrong decisions that I never can disown.
Can’t stay in no town as they’re all named for you
Just walk to where the stone fell that I feebly threw
The world is now my home but here I cannot stay
And like the stars we once glanced at I slowly fade away.
Our fears and daemons in the shadows lurk and hide
To resize upon us in sleepless hours of the night
And they will remain feeding from the tears we shed
O despite how often we look underneath our bed.
Hell is indeen no place where we go
But something deep within us that dwells and viciously grows
You’re shooting at me selfish bullets that you spew
But still I keep running keep on running towards you.
My eternal grief, anguish neverending
