Ego Sum Resurrectio
Christianic Indulgence
Pray to your mighty god
And I will pray to mine
Behind sense I will stand
True to life, away from
Christianic indulgence
Follow me through the darkness
I will enjoy all the falseness
True sirens of pleasure awaits
In an eternal sea of madness and sorrow
I will lay my candid soul to rest...
Fail and the truth I will tell
I am not afraid to try again
Confessions of a profane land
At the age of the fallen cross
A century of written denial
Reveals the reprisal of an ancient betrayal
Crucidiction
What reveals the cross
Once upon it you cry
A piece of truth for the sinner
A chapel's chants
You pray for the dead and their remains
True confessions
Cardinal sin behind the curtain
Hidden sins, a forbidden wine
For the lord
Condemned to pray words of praise
For salvation
Then you feel free to obey and worship
Your saviour
In repentance you call yourself for a prayer
But deep inside your honest mind
Contrixion dwells for religion
Holy crucifixion, in yourself you find contradiction
In the blood of Christ, no penance you will find for your inverted heart
What is going on in Heaven
Laughing angelwitches, a disciple's voice
For the blind one
At the threshold of infamy
The left hand entrance awaits
But a stairway to Heaven may be the answer
For the blind one
Sacristy vision
A stain on the silent cross
Inverted for reality for the chosen one
Beneath the sky
A preacher's torment and lies
No tales of mercy
No compassion for the crucified one
You pray for the dead and their remains
True confessions
Cardinal sin behind the curtain
Hidden sins, a forbidden taste...
Holy crucifixion, in yourself you find contradiction
In the blood of Christ, no penance you will find for your inverted heart
Holy crucifixion, in yourself you find contradiction
Wintergrief
Fields of grief
Before my empty views
Some final falling melting snow
Awakes my fervent stranger within...
Behind the hill
A cry from doomed and unborn
Malignancy will be reborn
Through the tides of time
Still a reflected vision on the snow
Of your precious essence
No flicker of hope along
With the falling sky
We used to dream fairy-tales in gold
Now only bloodred reigning saints above
We aim for the stars
We defy the winds and the clouds
To find one way out
To defy thy faith
Of the serpent's kiss
I sleep in chains
Through the deepest black
Wintergrief
Enlightened bu the northern lights
A last gleam
Of slowly fading northern skies
An epitome of my life
I see the light turning into darkness
There is no return when I hear the angel's call
I begin to crawl inside my self
To another instituxion
A domain for the brave
When the wintergrief grows stronger
A shrouded dream enthroned in the future
Emotional death, the denial of life
In remembrance to thee
Slaughtered is my soul beyond temptation
What's left of the remains in a charred hell
Wintergrief
Enlightened bu the northern lights
A last gleam
Of slowly fading northern skies
Wintergrief
Enlightened bu the northern lights
Into mourning signs
A last gleam
Of slowly fading northern skies
An epitome of my life
Envy The Dead
As I watch down below
The remains of the human race
To reveal the last confess of an
Evil revival
A force in front of evil ones
With fire eyes, men of thunder
Malignancy the root of the past
Mankind rest in peace
Envy the dead, we will yearn for our death
Silence is the peace for the one I search
As I burn down the bridge...
Behind me my inflamed path I leave
Into dust and ashes, a future wish
Pain of the flesh in a rotten grave
With sinful pain and immortal seed
A last try to revive and smell the
Slowly withering wreath
A new kingdom to come
Awaiting the enthroned of the Ungod
Envy the dead
I walk through the plains
Visions of horror
A few survivors just to suffer
Winds of doom
Blows across this desert
Too late to be wise
There is no time for remorse
Just envy the dead
A burning twisted cross ahead
Something for all of us to fear
Resent age of undying wrath
Will lead us all into an eternal
Embrace of darkness
Envy the dead, we will yearn for our death
Silence is the peace for the one I search
Lioness' Roar
(instrumental)
Mark My Words
A pray for the race
Just another pray in vain
Signs of Judgement Day
For the doomed to endure
Pain, injustice
A world in flames
Innocent blood will flow
Listen to the chimes of bells
For the doomed to endure
Suffering, injustice
Sadistic leaders
With their perverted minds
Sitting there with earth in their hands
Sacred are their words
Telling us what's right or wrong
They will lead us all into a certain death
Mark my words
Mark my words
Hold those crosses high
So your lord can you see
Pray for the future
It may not exist
Hold those crosses high
Pray for your martial future
We are reaching the ultimate edge
Mark my words
Gardenia
(instrumental)
Final Lament
Listen to his final lament
By the fountain of hatred and torment
In silence we walk alone with his fading shadow
"My eyes are bleeding as I bow
Before my eyes a brutal truth
My soul is dying as I watch the sands
Of time running slow"
"My lament I shall engrave
While my eyes still are bleeding,
Retribution before enlightenment
When the dawn's deluge suffocates my darkness"
"As I hear the God of thunder's roar
The gate of sin awaits before me
But first I got to witness and burn in
My own sea of fire
The rottings angel's dead eyes gives
Signs of death among the living"
"Enslaved by hate, no words of wisdom
Will fall from an ablaze sky
My dream is dead along with my hope
And I die once again
A treasure of life between the veils
Of the yearning mermaid
A dreaming lifetime drowned in falls of illusions"
"I believe it's time to meet my treasonous maker
Abstract thoughts of desire feed our pain"
The steps of the wizard we will follow
The rotting dead eyes are still watching
The signs of death belongs to his fading shadow
