Satyricon
My Skin Is Cold
1. My Skin Is Cold
My skin is cold and the birds fly free
Over my head, where winter grows
A heathen's call, stand up or fall
Over my head, where winter grows
A heathen's call, stand up or fall
This world is yours, for you to rule
(chorus)
This, the blood of sin
Flows freely
This, unstoppable force
In the naked flesh
My skin is cold - your skin is cold
Black metal rock and a scent of leather
And bloodstained gold
With rain and wind come times of change,
and dreams come true
I go with you, on the path we make
(chorus)
ll, stand up or fall
This world is yours, for you to rule
(chorus)
This, the blood of sin
Flows freely
This, unstoppable force
In the naked flesh
My skin is cold - your skin is cold
Black metal rock and a scent of leather
And bloodstained gold
With rain and wind come times of change,
and dreams come true
I go with you, on the path we make
(chorus)
Snow covered mountain
I gaze in awe
Wondering who and what was here before
I made my mark on that sacred soil
This phoenix rose from a pit of pain
(chorus)
One nation's man carrying the weight,
of a peoples disgrace
This is the turnaround!
Driven by birthright and godsent will
The time has come for you to rule
(chorus)
2. Live Through Me (Re-mastered)
Gods of the land, remember him
For he has served the purpose
And sworn to thee
Master of the mountains
Spirit of the sea
Bringer of justness
Lord of the dark ways
Flee from him, for he is pure
As any soldier can be
Fighting a cause
Free as any wanderer
Armed with flame
Blazing force
Risen from time
Rebel’s son
Remember the fallen
And what they did
Memory is how to
Understand the future
Troubled by those
Whose spirit is torn
From mind and body
Never surrender!
Destined by the elders
And by them acclaimed
Ascending from the abyss
Sunset for the Triumphator
3. Existential Fear-Questions (Re-mastered)
The soul (when) stripped of all
Lies in the hands of what?
Inner chaos roars, nerves boil
Now, where to go…
A lifetime of slow inner death,
How torture is that?
Choking fear, is life real?
And what is dying?
What if void is a shellshock’s aftermath?
What if Eden is all poisoned fruit?
What if hell is forever pain?
What if life is a blindfold, and death is punishment?
Global puppetshow, made by hands of transcendental divinity
Blood rivers cascade, could be virtual reality
World war slaughter, could be the final act
And graveyard paradise could be eternity’s curtain
Who are the ones with the keys?
Will they lead us…
Life is nothing but untimely answers
To our existential fear-questions
Fear – reared its ugly head
Death – came to me on a somber morning
4. Repined Bastard Nation (Live w/orchestra)
Do we need another bastard nation...
another force-fed disgust
Do we need another bastard nation...
aiming at us clinically
Like an insect-swarm
towards the shapeless mouth
of a dead whore
We need the spirit, the voice, the angel of light
arising from melted mass
We need the spirit, the voice, the angel of light
taking invincible shape
to standing ovation
Repossessing night and her hand's godly touch
The unbearable feeling of hitting that
dark wall is a scene that must come to an end
Earthly decay in front of our eyes
Now, now it's killing for a living
No more repined bastard nation
A generous gesture to a people so blind
No more repined bastard nation
fumbling, descending, away from the light
It takes a non-poisoned creature
to withstand a monster that has grown and spawned,
a darkness, I can not tolerate
A darkness we must bury
Do they feel, do they absorb our pain...
the search to justify one truth
Do they feel, do they absorb our pain...
the greater understanding
It takes a non-poisoned creature
to defeat and destroy a monster,
that has grown and spawned
a darkness, a darkness we can not tolerate
5. Mother North (Live w/orchestra)
Mother north - how can they sleep while their beds are burning ?
Mother north - your fields are bleeding
Memories...The invisible wounds
pictures that enshrine your throne (gone?)
A Future benighted still they are blind
Pigeonhearted beings of flesh and blood
keeps closing their eyes for the dangers that threat...ourselves and our nature
And that is why
they all enrage me
Sometimes in the dead of the night I mesmerize my soul
Sights and visions prophecies and horror
they all come in one
Mother north - united we stand (together we walk)
Phantom north - I'll be there when you hunt them down
