I OF FOREVER Born in the woods, raised among the jackals Epic battles were to come; forlorned He stood As the stars were falling one by one He raised His hands and cursed Eternal frost in soul to blame His children Damned to be, to feel the unlight, the creatures of the Night My sadness I defy, Lord of darkened skies whispering, as I die The blackness I purify, God of my despise dreaming, as I cry The dark erases the past of sorrow The fear freezes by the cold I of forever The stars are holding a world of their own I sucked the light too deep inside Can't find the statue of my lost soul And the ancient form has merely died For the thousand mirrors that I broke The blood (that) was spilled wasn't mine This is the darkest sun I ever saw No one can pass my bloodline Land of the unholy fire Land of the everlasting fears Slay thy children for they believed And your will...shall be the one. AS ONE Black marks ablazing far in the red sky Descendance of the true one God Desolation rides in the maze of the demigods Reign of dust; Thy abhorrence has cursed me Rapture; Silence; Sinlessness; Sacred black of my kingdom's desire Enchantment... Grant me the power to embrace the silver sights The ancients' domain Grant me the power to enthrall... I hear the fire coming from beyond The chants (are) becoming louder Victory... Gazing upon the twilight; I wish th' immortal hordes were me... I saw the moon; it was bleeding The fiendish call, I embraced it; it haunts my soul Fall; I suffered the paleness of the pure I can't resist; Descend and be, one with me! Black marks ablazing far in the red sky Descendance OF THE TRUE ONE GOD Desolation rides in the maze of the demigods Reign of dust; Thy abhorrence has cursed me UN SENTIMENT/I WAS DYING ONCE AGAIN Worthless, mourns, infinity divine Through the pale sunrise, macabre souls, sour again Sour... It is strange when I kiss the eyes of salvation The night becomes mine. The queen... As your wings were closing I was dying once again You will soon become one with me Melancholy... I have felt the wrath, now, the sadness I provoke Beyond the dream of mortals, beyond my sky of sorrow I have been in darkness I was not alone Blood was dripping from my soul False feelings, lies of my world When the horizons will be Then far away to reach I'll be there to cover all the misery The sweetness; The thoughts and my dream In the sight of love my precious The innocence, the awareness Even a shade can be hurt Even a shade can feel the pain Devoted till I last A story so tragic Weakness and rapture I fade can you see me I'm lying (there) forgotten Take my Hand FOREVER AND EVER Of, the beauty in your eyes The passion; under a glorious moon Black heart; I wither Desire... FOREDOOMED ELEGY Inside the vision of a black night I dreamt my lost joy Just like a daydream full of light Left me behind; the elders, the skies High in the midnight sky She sheds red tears from her eyes Under the glow of the moon She wakes up the ghosts of the gloom Harrowing veil cover my tears for those gone far Buried now forever, begging for deliverance Till the ones die I shall give myself to the night ...The blackest sun still remains in our sky... Oh Goddess of all sins the ghosts appear before thee The tears of please won't stop falling until your night begins To cover all of me all the sweet of angels harmony Nothing can ease your wrath This is your night; the fullmoon one FATHER FORGIVE THEM (FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW) Howl - Hear the sanctified screams Die - For I have sinned Bless - The evil seed As - Th' infernal sky falls Fatal eyes; Your reflection dies Bleed before I do; Your lie is true For I've sinned Ode to the one... Who died for my sins Thy veil of disguise... Sworn to avenge Obsecration of the glorified Aeons perished in the deep Path of th' eternal winter Condemned to primordial myths Divine the flames of the Great Embracing the fatal beliefs Fiendish forces bring forth The soulgrave of the burning king Ancestors engraved in the mist Seek the forgotten domain Forsaken creations ascend ...Blood... The last serenade has withered (It's now far) away Father enlight my path Bring back to me the day That will sorrowfully imply My surpassingly declining ally ELYSIAN FIELDS And the angels shall spread their wings to fly away And by the sunset He shall grovel Grovel before the black kind of Yours And quake when the infernal splendour shall breathe out by the moonbeam Bow before th' eternal helot From now you shall endure endlessly Lust, whilst the Night obtains a shadow, 's been sent to old forts And between nine deaths and three moons, I shall deny that I ever saw the lands of red and serenity And I tried to be alone, at my last forever dawn When the sacrifice will be, oh I'll be bleeding before thee And I tried tobe alone, the solitude I own Your name I shall divine, heaven is thine When the sun won't rise again The quietism of my heart's done When the sun returns to me I'll fall into despondency And I tried to be alone, at my last forever dawn When the sacrifice will be, oh I'll be bleeding before thee And I tried to be alone, the solitude I own Your name I shall divine, heaven is thine Fire, comes from a northern sea Thanatos fills my eyes Ashes Thy black of wrath A stone broke the sky DEICIDE/THE AUSPICE Witchcrafting forces Burn the sacrificials Enchanting forests Visualize the end Crushing fear Revelation of the falling nights Forbidden rhymes Figures of the shuttered Unholy lands Mayhemic immolations Infinity Spiritual dissension Battles beyond no light Ingantations I embrace my death Celestial warfares Sadness in your eyes Golgotha's darkest oath Deicide Perpetual fulmination ... Onward to the evil seas, Where thorns enshield the blackest dawns ... Thy dreadful myth unleashed despair As power of th' immortals grow.

Ionia - Athens - Greece Recorded and mixed at Storm Studio in June '95 Sound Engineer: George Zaharopoulos (M.W.Daoloth) Review Elysian Fields certainly have something here. They play a kind of death/black metal with its own sound due to the violin and amazingly fast drumming. But it still needs a lot more originality. Most songs just seem to go on without something happening. I think their sounds is okay, but if they work some more on their songwriting it would become really cool. So, a nice first effort.
