1. Queen Of The Midnight Fire

Down. At the burial ground
Raindrops are falling on a lonely tombstone
There. Without a sound
A beautiful maiden appears from the unknown
Asking herself
"Oh. What is to come?"
As she slowly caresses the skull of a ram.

Fire, ignites from the rams's eyes
Smoke. Mystifies the night skies
and welcoming
Queen of the Midnight Fire
Welcome

Candles and incense arranged in a fivefold
The graveyard now gleams with a sinister glow
Blood of the ancients and bones of this soil
A fiery path to her throne they will show
The loss of your earthly innocent ways
A sacrifice needed to open the gates
Life after death and Death is your life
Now open your flesh with a ritual knife

An then... Blood. Stains her perverted grin
Death. Of all mortal feelings within

"Midnight, the last chime of the bell
Scatter the soil that feeds on the flesh
Ego svm te peto et videre qveo
Life after death and death is my life"

2. Behind The Cellar Door

Father
What am I doing here
Down in the cellar, confused
The spirits are wandering near
Father
The morning is slipping away

Am I afraid or going insane
In this tomb of despair
My senses are fading
Playing his game
Your soul will be rotting in Hell

Endless, sands of time seem to be still
in this eternal abyss I passively gather his sin
Darker, my thoughts are twisting in fear
Within this madness consumed
there is no light to be near

My image drifting
my thoughts and memories long gone
no matter how much i try
and the feeling of nothingness have made...
all my existence
would rather be in vain

Father
why did this happen to me
Behind this cold cellar doors
I'll rot in my own misery

3. SpeedWave

Release your mind and take a look
behind her snow-white veil
She holds the key to many doors
in her hand so pale
Wings that take you anywhere
as long as you succumb
but take the witch for granted
she'll take to your tomb

Angel in the mirror dissolves to Devil's dust
Every breath taken might always be your last
Dream away the sorrow, but pleasure is not cheap
Close your eyes forever, inhale and take a leap

Observe through eyes of someone else
and feel her gentile lips
the hands of fate will pull you down
from earth to your eclipse
Revived and cleansed in darkness
with eyes denied to see
Her gentile hand now turns to dust
there never was a key

Angel in the mirror was never really there
Every breath taken brought nothing but despair
Dreams have turned to sorrow and pleasure to debris
Shout her name in horror, exhale and cease to be

4. What Lies Beyond...

"Gaze into the Beyond!"
There I stood surrounded by silence, bewitched by the whisper of trees
under the Moon's wuthering guidance, embraced in a stream of light breeze
Vibrating prayers, echoing louder as pillars of light erect in the night
Oh, I beckon you mother of twilight Bestow onto me all your might

Oh, to be, Oh, to see, Oh, to feel, Oh, to know
What the Moon brings. What Lies Beyond...

Burn now the words in smokeless fire,
ascend to the Demon's domain
Blessed be the face to obsius mirror
and it's powers of magick arcane
Through gathering clouds inside the vision
tongues of her young are lashing my skin
Eyes that pierce with unearthly precision
It is now that my journey begins

Oh, but to see. One's eyes must be ready to bare the unknown and...
Oh, but to know. One's mind and One's heart must be solid as stone...

Gardens of faceless sculptures that lead me
to the answers I solemnly seek
Prepared for voyage beyond mortal knowledge
through thoughts of my making most bleak

And then my flesh trembles
As I raise my eyes high
Amidst boiling darkness
I observe how words die

5. Night Terrors

Sitting by the window
as night is drawing near
Afraid that I won't stay awake
Left with one cigarette
alone within my thoughts
knowing that my sanity's at stake

(You) see me, when I'm alone
and then the night takes its toll on me...

Light swift of cold air
blows out the last candle
Fog creeps in and fills the place
my body's locked in numbness
from terror I can't handle
A temptress spawns before me dressed in lace

(You) see me, when I'm alone
and then the night takes its toll on me...

Caught in my own
Night Terrors
Please go away
Shadows from the past
Night Terrors
She's here to stay

6. Four Crowns Of Hell

A single black candle placed on the altar
In front of which lifeless I stand
Drained of the thoughts that once bedeviled
The birth of a storm so grand

By the sound of the bell shall be conjured
Those of my innermost will, Within every part
of myself I set fire to my flesh, to my mind and my soul

Daughter of light please accept my humble thought
Your acceptance is giving
Our life and our fate, they're in our own hands,
under our very soul

Of my own will, and with my own blood
I call upon the four crowns of Hell, Deep in the trance
and high in flames. Rebirth announced by a knell

Fumes of excitument and flames of delight
A look in the eye of the soul, Loosen the shackles
the new era's dawning. The time of enlightenment has come

Of my own will and with my own blood
I accept the four crowns of Hell, Deep in the trance
and crowned by the flames, Triumphant ring of a bell

Recite now the key, of those once present
Close thine eyes, and behold uncreation
For I am of light, and light lives forever

7. Poetry And The Gods

8. Under Sulphurous Skies

Towering spirals that coil in the dawn
with Serpent like moves we devour the stars
To fathom beyond the specter of known
in the darkest of depths our Legion has grown
Black is the light that feeds our desire
with venomous tongues we conjure and conspire
entangled in chaos we plot one's demise
from the desolate grounds
we now
rise

Ceremonial pyres spreading disease
Your temples will burn with an infernal hiss
My name it is Legion, we are many within
one thousand of demons crawl under my skin
The Serpent that laid dormant for aeons
its eyes now wide open with a hellfire brilliance
Out of the void and into the wastelands
Under Sulphurous Skies
we now
Reign

And then the blood
That stains our smile
With it's last drop
Marks the path so vile
Under the Sulphurous Skies

9. Ritual Of Death

оригинал: Rager

Chosen one's taken to the unholy place
A fate that's worse than death
Altar awaits, stained with blood
Victim takes it's last breath.

Light up the torches and call on the priest
the dagger, it shines in the night
You lived as a sinner and you'll die like one
And help is nowhere in sight.

Blood
Blood of unworthy
The Ritual of death

The gods of thunder are laughing out loud
as blood fulfiller their desire
Spirit has left this lifeless corpse
now burn in the eternal fire

Dawn is at hand and the ritual's done
return to your everyday life
No one to know of this horrible act
The secret remains in the night.
