Beneath The Burial Surface The sky is darkening, soon the night befall Righteously angels are weeping for my soul All childhood dreams are soon to be lost All innocence to be shattered I am the fallen, from grave Water from a thousand tears floats in streams The feeling from a thousand years flow over me As I once again return to the cemetary gate I hear the dismal call from the hollow grave My face is a river See my eyes as they drown in black My sacred doom and nemesis Beneath the burial surface To the final act of the immortal sin I am lead by funeral winds The life I leave to exchange with death As the charlatan breeds with a dragons breath Crossing the path to the world below In a deathlike silence I chamber my soul Ancient black, silent gloom Cathedral bells are calling doom In velvet dreams I am touched by sin As night arrives in its purple shades I drift across the shallow graves The soul is streaming in the wind Dark is the blessing that I am in As darkness falls and the cold silence reigns The nocturnal void shall become my faith I'll transcend unto where shadows dance A gentle kiss and like a bird I'll fly Into the spheres of demise Desireously in dark romance Moon In The Scorpio A mirror blank ocean above me decoy Superior forces that heal or destroy Take me astray into the moonlight above Through twilight eyes as a spectre shadow It is a time of great light And a great darkness Can't you feel the present Of its phenomenon In an atmosphere supreme Forces dwells in dormancy The essence of its spirit is evil As a curse upon thy name Midnight is the shepherd of mysterious powers And moving shadows in the corner of the eye Moon's blazing intuition Contains what death require Cleanse the doors of perseption See things appear in its true art The cold hands of divinity Will tear thy soul apart Behold the sky above when the moon is in the scorpio A cold bleak light Through Gleams Of Death The truth is hidden In the cold dark water In the drowning of procedure The flesh gets slaughtered Stripped from mortality Into gleams of death Torn from reality Into terminal death Death is eternal art For whom that coldness reigns in heart Stars of damnation Blaze in my sight I view the constellation Beyond the dazzling light From the dark aspects of life And through gleams of death I'll rise drift in departure Into a new dimension The black voyage Into mega therion The unseen passage Into oblivion Unconscious secrets Consealed by time and space No return or regrets Descent through shallow haze (Repeat chorus) In Mourning Mystique (Overture: Nocturne) Darkness I seek the silence that you bring Grant me thy sacred gifts Bestow my soul thy offerings I kneel in front of thy altar black Let ancient forces of nature rule Take my blood as the sacrifice A symbolic faithful bond of truth When you look into an abyss, the abyss also look into you Tonight I enter, Into obscure dreams In darkness shelter, I am unseen With the esoteric, Gifts I possess I bring damnation, By enforcing death In the beginning of the storm I'll come forth An arrival into a twilight reverb As just a shadow of the former self Sorrow is my name My true essence is pain Hear the mourning of the mendacious From thy empty halls and shafts Of false blinding light Prepare the last sacrifice (on the altar) In the temple of decay Please spare me from the final agony of shame I am evil from the moment of conception Human dreams are such fertile ground for sowing the seeds of torment Beyond The Candles Burning I am a dark star rising on the ravenous bleaky sky A black diamond shining so deep within the night Maliciously I dwell in a bluish shaded beam With a stonecold heart into the core of my being Beyond the candles burning, beyond all minds eye A vast emperic enigma awaits me as I die In a graceful dance obscene, in a ring of fire I obtain my majesty as flames caressing higher Release my spirit, unleash my soul From the darkest dungeon, oblivion call In the phallic halls of ancient forlorn A cold sanctuary in doom is born Past, present and future are all the same While the cosmic wheel is turning But deaden dwells the eternal flame Beyond the candles burning Darkzone Martyrium Dominus Spiritus Sathanas, Dominus Virtus Dominus Spiritus Virtus Sathanas Cruel are the eyes of the tyrant And his heart is abounded to pain In pleasures of agony and torture As he begs to bleed in vain I perish in my own desire I burn within lusting hate Destructively the winds inspire The soul to terminate I ride the ancient overture As life is torn astray I glance the illusive spectrum And all light that fades away Black energies in the twilight space Comes shivering through the shallow haze Into darkness so impure divine A bloodshed emotion to evil wine Darkzone martyrium, endless vast mysterium Give to me the blessing, when I meet my destiny Ruin is all there is to feel, and the cold reality if steel Life slips through your fingers Lyrics in plain text format	Line up Daemon -

It's very fast yet very melodic, songs that don't bore yet go on forever, I think this is how black metal was meant to be. And that it's all done by just two guys is even greater. Some people might have to get used to the drum computer, but even this is done so great that's not irritating at all... Rating: 7.5 out of 10
