A death's shadow resting over me
I longed day after day to be set free

And then I turned towards darkness

Never again will I let your will restrict me
Darkness where I belong, now at last I can see

And then I turned towards darkness

I live my life to destroy the w

I used to miss the cold winter-nights back then
I waited for the day to pass so you would come again
Remember how I fed you (those memories do stain)
I always gave you more even though nothing did remain

My world is black
Black fire burns the night
I greet the darkness<

Travelling this strange and dark dimension
Awakened by the powers of the night
On insanity's path I saw redemption
Now I only see with the moon's eye

Brief is the flame
Burning bright for a moment
And then never to be seen again

All my life I lived in the night

Carpathian dream, bloodthirsty beast
Preying on man, every drop of blood a feast
A wraith in the night calls your name
At the mountain top burns the eternal flame

And from the flames they will come
Seven times seven
Vengeance of the ancient ones
Defier of heaven

How I miss the cold winter's night,
this spring is not for me
This is the dark season of my soul,
so leave me be
This cold comes from within,
there is no way you can take part
Darkness is upon me and there is
frost deep down inside my heart

Darkness, darkness...

Divine intervention is only a dream
You give up your lives and follow the stream
I saw the prophet, preaching his lies
I heard him beg for mercy the moment he died
Under many moons I looked for you
Under many names I sought for you
I never found you, it's a minor loss

Drick ur ditt glas, se doden pa dig vantar,
slipar sitt svard och vid din troskel star.
Bliv ej forskrackt, han blott pa gravdorn glantar,
slar den igen, kanske an pa ett ar.
Movitz, din lungsot den drar dig i graven.
Knapp nu oktaven:
stam dina strangar, sjung om livets

Sorgens sorte slor har senket seg over skogen
Nattens eventyr skal fortelles nok en gang
Skapninger som timer for sokte ly for solen
titter frem fra fjellsprekker i glede over nattens sang

Musikk sa vakker og grotesk blir fremfort der ved tjernet
Langt der bortenfra hores f

Once so mighty I was aeons ago
I would make thunder roar and lava flow
Times do pass, moments do wither and fade
Man do forget the memories of my glorious days

Forever to live in purgatory's darkness
Blend in with the low-life among this putrid mess
Some praise my name,

Pray for darkness, pray for the world below
Pray for winter, pray for forever snow
Pray for the sun never to rise above the hills
in the horizon far away, far away

Forever night
Ah... Forever night!

Pray for sorrow, pray for melancholy
Pray for sadness, happiness

I will see hope as a loved one you seek
I will see ice made of tears on your cheek
I will see darkness trapped beneath the sky
I will see melancholy as you cry

I will hear wolves howl in the night
I will hear beasts wail in fright
I will hear elegies hurting the ear

I offered you my world to have, my kingdom to explore
I gave you warmth and shelter against the raging snow
My dark love was rejected, too bad you could not see
That love lasts eternally and we were ment to be

Your tears cannot move me, I am delighted by your cries
As blood

...og nar morket kaller gar jeg atter inn
jeg lukker porten bak meg, porten til mitt sinn
jeg stenger verden ute, alene i min ensomhet
jeg legger hodet pa min pute, tarene faller, en etter en

A leve hvert sekund av et liv
A do hvert sekund av en dod

Omsluttet av morke

Creeping upon my soul, the disease was blinding me
The vulture's shadow was out of reach
The carcass of hope I could not see

My spirit trapped by midnight, deeper down it sank
I gasped at the land of shadows
At last in death I found my rank

Nine worlds below Nivlhel I

See the leaves wither, see the flowers die
As animals seek shelter, as birds towards south do fly

Forever my farewell is, forever will I depart
Forever my soul remains black, forever remains my heart

I do not hope for remedy, I lost all hope on my way
And all I ever wishe

To be lost in endless mazes
with no thread to lead me home
As violent waves of doubt embrace me
(but for them I'm all alone)
All mysteries I thought I knew
Now wondering about life and death
As clouds of thunder gather above me
Layer by layer, my soul: Undress!

I am the shadow's darkness
I am the sweetest pain
I am the curse of heaven
I am sweet tender hell

I bring you cold winter
Upon the mountains high
But what I crave from you my love
Will never satisfy

As nothing stands before me
I leave nothing when I am gon

Hear my tale of tragedy:

[Faustus:]
Alas, philosophy I have explored
as well as medicine and law
add to these regrettably
my studies in theology
Yet here I sit, a foolish bore
no wiser than I was before

No dog can live like this
knowledge gained is far fro

[Inspired by a short-story by H.P.Lovecraft (1890-1937)]

Climbing up the tower, I'm on my way to light
Escaping from the castle, I've been locked up day and night
Have to find my way out, or I will go insane
Lust for light is leading me, flowing in my veins

At last I am f

Darkness now surrounding me
I gaze into eternity
A burden I had to endure
For a heart that was unpure
A feeling of tranquillity
At last my soul would be set free
But the last thought in my mind
A memory of faded crimes

The wrath of darkness in your eyes
I se
