- As The World Keels Over
Awaken,
Dispel the dream of soul,
The swarm must have taken you
Surrender,
Look around you
The aeons are carving in
- Catawomb
O the ruins of Utopia once again
Subterranean elegy, anthem from beyond the grave
The elements in change, everything is lost
Bound onto the aevum, the empty space my host
Bemoan the loss of life, but the end just stays the same
For this pathetic path I walk awaits you all one single day
The aftermath of death, the loss of body and soul
Life... the epitome of affliction
- Evenfall
With the dawn
Comes the loathing
With the morning
Comes the fall
With the qualm
Come the vermin
Come to spawn
- Hirudineans
Somewhere down the line
Man created god in his image
Inadequacy on a pedestal
A basin for a lake of tears to drown in
And here we go again
Where there's blood there's hirudineans
Crawling from every hole, blotting blindly
- I Am the Jigsaw of a Mad God
Upon my head
I wear this crown
Of primal incest, sludge and bone
I bear it or I drown
Regent of vivisection
Lord of spiral gruel
A scourge of airborn fauna black
- Iconoclasm Omega
Can't stand the thought to exist within a lie
Katharsis unleashed, hear my call
This is the point of no return
Can't wait for the day Armageddon rapes humanity
Nemesis unleashed, nations will pray in vain
I have seen the face of death
This is the end supreme
- In Morte Aeternitas
What is this now, I am back on the highest spire but where are my comrades?
Where are their corpses? I want to burn them in my people's way
There is no slain flesh, no bloodstains, not a trace of them to be found
(A voice from the darkest corner of the shadowy castle hall)
It has become eternal stone
What once was flesh and bone
- Insomnia
I drown...
For too long I felt the winter's breath
The rain keeps falling down into my soul
Thorns cover my grave... they hurt within me
I wonder how death shall ever set me free
When I cannot close my eyes
I wonder how death shall ever set me free
When there's even in this darkness no place for us to be
- Like A Somnambulist In Daylight's Fire
Don't ask, why darkness never ends
I believe some things were never meant to be
I am Death's devoted instrument
Abysmal dirges guide my way to the graveyard ground
Disharmonic choirs from out of the morgue scream
I am Death's devoted instrument
- Odem
I surround you
You cannot see or touch me
Yet I drown you
A tidal pest invades
I have found you
Insipid prey to wanton storm
I'll hound you
- Osiris
From the shadows
From the pit
From the chasm
I call to thee
Exiled from Eden
Left for dead
A spurred phantasm
- Pilgrim of the Nightly Spheres
Pilgrim of the nightly spheres
Behind the sleeping cascades
You wander restelessly
In hope of finding the gateway - to eternity
Darkness your constant companion
When the ancients spoke of a realm
- a realm where nothing dies,
- Redivider
An ash painted chamber where death has been
A song of entrails strung upon a violin
On the brow, blood and sperm, with bile thinned
And sealed with the Hecate's nightshade kiss
Five live cats, into a pentagram pinned
To fuel their yowls, be they partly skinned
A will to call the reaper to seal the abyss
- Requiem Grotesque
"De profundis clamavi ad te domine
Domine ex ordi vocem meam
Tianc auris ture e intendentis
In vocem deprecationes meae
Requiem aeternam dona eis domine
Et lux perpetua luceat deis
Requiescant in pace"
- Satan Bled
crepuscular conventicle
in the adytum
crapulous aischolatreia
cryptozoic scatoscopy
the sempect yaws on the situla
elumbated, his munctory drozing
in mid-cacation, etruding dejecture
- Silence
Scorched by time and death
And a bloated sun long since shriveled
The waste lies cold before me
God's creation ground to a shroud that stretches
From horizon to horizon
When all are dead
And all is gone
- Tales From Eternal Dusk
As darkness falls for the last time
I awake from my apparently infinite sleep
A silver full moon glows on this winter night
Waning into oblivion
... and I follow the northern storms
that bring dusk upon the icy landscapes
... and the storms lead me to majestic forests
- The Silver Gate
Awake, angels of lunacy,
Arise, avatars of Chaos!
Incinerate yourselves
In the blaze of Babylon,
Hierophants of the Hurricane,
We invoke the Eidolon...
- The Valley
Another promise broken
Another falsehood thrown to the dogs
Time and time again we swallow
Our throats torn by the barbed fruit of iniquity
On our knees we wither
Starving on a hollow phantom
Discarded playthings, we crave in vain
- Throne Of Sombre Thoughts
... and I still hear the sound of shattering swords,
I still see the empty eyes of the fallen warriors,
I still hear their screams on the wind
for I am one of the ancient race, summoned by the scars of time
Once I had risen amongst the Nine through a spell of cast behind the
shadowwalls of Minas Morgul.
Nazgul, hunters of the night, damned to search for the One,
- Venereal Dawn
I woke at first cold wisp of dawn
To frightened mourners' quiet lament
From brooding death into rock withdrawn,
To see upon my hand descend
A giant moth with burning wings
And a face like the god of fever
From tortured lands a whisper brings
- When 1000 Crypts Awake
Cold, my heart
Raped by the descendants of light
Embittered my soul
Drowned in a flood of desperate views
It feels like
I have walked this earth
For a thounsand years,
- While They Sleep
Life - capitulation
Death - salvation
Welcome to the nightmare
Twenty four / seven
Numb reflections of a dying mind
The will to exist long before declined
Thus I leave this mass grave earth behind
When everything seems so trivial, I take a look at you
- Wraith
A specter writhes
Too faint for mortal eyes
A mere ululation
A deathless witness
Lurid in demise
Spawned from pain and tribulation
- Ylem
A spell to free all matter
Folding time and gravity
A universe to shatter
Conjuring black holography
Unraveling the ether
Rending screeching molecules
Severing the elements
