I fell deeper and deeper as light now was gone I could feel the dark embrace my soul Agony was no more, and so was pain At this point of solitude I knew I was there... There where I belong
Thus far a long journey through my soul's infinity It has been a journey far beyond mortality I have found what I wanted, tranquillity I'll thrive on evil, eternally
I flew over crystal ground My existence numb Over orchards of grievance, sorrow and tears This beautiful silence... calls me now Black fog devours me but I can see it all The monument of my past, the land of seven horizons' before my eyes I reach the land of spiritual rest
It's the dawn of descending - I am the Somberlain down to evil divine domain
Lord of infernal, gather my strength Carry me through the gates
It's the dawn of descending - I am the Somberlain down to evil divine domain
For I'm eternal night - I'm the Somberlain Precede my evil divine domain
Feathers fell... like leaves from a tree Blood ran... like water from a sea Angels cried... as the rain poured Feathers fell... they'll fall no more...
Far beyond all light Within the black and the coldest breeze Caressed by the dark, I had my sleep
Awakened by the moon Nocturnal life, my powers to be Keeping myself alive by sucking your mortals blood...
Frozen winds of immortality as I drown in obscurity
Still feeling the taste of blood... It makes me so strong... I spread my wings... Into soul winter I fly...
Tears in my eyes turns into fire as where I belong... The cold within, it chills my skin, my heart and soul... In ecstacy I shred myself to release whats held within In solitude Im having my pride I, Transylvanian son...
Frozen winds of immortality as I drown in obscurity
I fall deep into whats for me unseen Eternal flames lick my face In purgatory Im all within But Im forever bound to my frozen soul...
I - have travelled through eternity I will - reign once again
You will never rule again!
Hunger - A thirst for your pain I will - see your kingdom burnt by sins
Join my crusade of a time left to come To spill the blood, Youre the ones who never saw the sun
Now I hear it, the calling I hear the calling of the mist The ancients and their slumber Eenai, will rise again from the sea Prophecy... From the sea...
I fell deeper and deeper as light now was gone I could feel the dark embrace my soul Agony was no more, and so was pain At this point of solitude I knew I was there... There where I belong
Thus far a long journey through my soul's infinity It has been a journey far beyond mortality I have found what I wanted, tranquillity I'll thrive on evil, eternally
I flew over crystal ground My existence numb Over orchards of grievance, sorrow and tears This beautiful silence... calls me now Black fog devours me but I can see it all The monument of my past, the land of seven horizons' before my eyes I reach the land of spiritual rest
It's the dawn of descending - I am the Somberlain down to evil divine domain
Lord of infernal, gather my strength Carry me through the gates
It's the dawn of descending - I am the Somberlain down to evil divine domain
For I'm eternal night - I'm the Somberlain Precede my evil divine domain
See the plains lie ghastly silent as being frozen in time A place of distress where evil still lies vigilant enshrined Years that passed are now centuries and forgotten seem the fallen ones But on lived the memories in the spirits of a battle sons
(Chorus:) Hear the choirs Is it the wind that brought back their cries? Once forged in blood by tragedy Sharp were the thorns of crimson death
Through the air again our voices whisper and awake are now your eyes For too long closed in slumber - but death didn't prove our demise By ages so dark we've been sculptured as fragments of story and tales As we haunt we are endlessly captured and shrouded in the wind that here wails
(Chorus:) Hear the choirs Is it the wind that brought back their cries? Forged in blood by tragedy Dark were the thorns of crimson death
By ages so dark we've been sculptured as fragments of story and tales By the place that we haunt we are captured - Against eternity we can prevail
(Chorus:) Hear the choirs Is it the wind that brought back their cries? Forged in blood by tragedy Dark were the thorns of crimson death
Far beyond all light Within the black and the coldest breeze Caressed by the dark, I had my sleep
Awakened by the moon Nocturnal life, my powers to be Keeping myself alive by sucking your mortals blood...
Frozen winds of immortality as I drown in obscurity
Still feeling the taste of blood... It makes me so strong... I spread my wings... Into soul winter I fly...
Tears in my eyes turns into fire as where I belong... The cold within, it chills my skin, my heart and soul... In ecstacy I shred myself to release whats held within In solitude Im having my pride I, Transylvanian son...
Frozen winds of immortality as I drown in obscurity
I fall deep into whats for me unseen Eternal flames lick my face In purgatory Im all within But Im forever bound to my frozen soul...
In the dawn an angel was dancing Surrounded by an aura of light But in the shadows something was watching and with patience awaiting the night Angel whispers: "mournful night, attractive night, your dark beauty obsesses me." An angel bewitched by the shadows Seduced by the whispering lies
Chorus: A spell was cast and the sky turned red The angel's heart froze to ice The blackness that falls is coming to stay Under the snow lies angels so cold
Dusk has passed and a cold morning breeze is sweeping all over the plain On the ground lies an angel with skin so pale On her face an image of pain Snow is now falling to the frozen ground The angel is covered by white Frost is spreading across the plain to welcome the eternal night
The dress is white with crystals of ice and frozen roses so red Roses of blood from an innocent soul On the plain lies an angel dead
Chorus:
A spell was cast and the sky turned red the angel's heart froze to ice In the gloomy sky black clouds were gathering The silence was broken by cries A spell was cast and the sky turned red and the angel's heart froze to ice In the gloomy sky - The silence where dead angels lie
Touch the snow... Caress the lifeless sculptures Die!!!
Chorus:
The blackness that falls is coming to stay Under the snow lies angels so cold Yet with each crystal of frost that is falling another story is told A spell was cast and the sky turned red The angels heart froze to ice In the gloomy sky - The silence where dead angels lie
Pain, plague an pestilence shall sweep through your sight Grim is the truth that hides behind the fading light The eyes of the beholder stares empty silent and cold for the deeds of the dark ones are fearful to behold
With liftened dreadful swords we swear allegiance to our lord We're the unhallowed usurpers of the throne
Dusk will bring the gathered ones upon the feeble men of god Superior mighty warriors of pure unhallowed blood Shoulder to shoulder they reign in the darkest of nights Together at the edge of time, brought forth to slay the light
Thy majesty - our majesty Sole superior evil itself We'll be your instrument and the blade of their damnation
So futile humas on the knees for the satanized Burning high at the stakes with the love of christ
Do not rest in peace, may your souls all burn black Your sons and daughters I will kiss....with a poisoned smile Sing out the pain of your roots that you cannot deny and we'll crush your worthless prayers of the weak forgotten lie
The apocalypse is here, oh fools of the withering sky Encounter darkness as you fall into the endless fire The jaws of darkness, open wide, lost souls scream out in vain All will writhe eternity's perpetual infernal pain
With liftened dreadful swords we swear allegiance to our lord We're the unhallowed usurpers of the throne
Morning oh dreadful dawn, spread your pale dim light Reign for your last time over lands once so bright But your energy shall be weak, and soon to die So die in pain my dear, expire, goodbye... Ages has past since your eyes enlightened the earth from a source of light that gave all godness birth But your energy is weak and soon to die The ground is sour from the evil that here lie
[Chorus:] I have come to challenge your ways Light's bane - The Last of your days Oh broken wings - My darkness enslaves Allow me to erase your feeble race
Morning, so feeble dawn, spread no pale dim light You've been breeding for your last time, a source without might An epitaph oh lost worthlessness - Still echoes your last cries The earth is pure of the evil that here thrives
[Chorus:] I have come to challenge your ways Light's bane - The Last of your days Oh broken wings - My darkness enslaves Allow me to erase your feeble race
What marks the death of 'god' is the twilight for a dark age His creation being plagued with the venomous blood of ours The sky suffocates eclipsed by a black mist of hatred Where goodness cannot reach the fire burns in dark flames
[Chorus:] I have come to challenge your ways Light's bane - The Last of your days Oh broken wings - My darkness enslaves Will you allow me to erase your feeble race?
Evil son...... Spread your wings of deepest black Spit on "god"...... May his lies be forgotten
The son of the mourning A gift to our earth Christ stands tall no more So bestow your force upon us
Gaze into the wall of these restless souls Eternally, lost in fear of your godforsaken son
You have tasted suffering That dove of life has died Paralyzed and terrorized By the fear you feel inside Caught within the floods of blood Evil, departed sea Immortal but now it's like to forever bleed!
We saw the truth And it's the draining of the blood of your false redeemer The mourning son has now control So what if it's evil
Holding a magic cube Not knowing about my fate Prince of darkness leads my way down As seas of morbid thoughts and shaped sets in this evil spell Deformed being laughing at you Now you are in hell
Growing dead Deep inside The fear of my fate Will I ever wake up?
Hook after hook Tearing your flesh apart A red cascade flows Is it nice to bathe in blood? Malignant severing Slow excrucation Cutting you to shreds Why this abomination?
The darkened sky above possesses a sense of far beyond Dismal visions from a distant past summons a fate unknown Ancient visions sweeps fast by your blinded eyes A raven flies over the cenotaph, an ancient force to rise
Rise!
Caressing the ground of the evil one Infinite songs heard clear and strong This once so placid place is now where the dead speak and walk The call of the mist - suffocation of all life Conjuring of souls, then lain in destruction
Devour my souls in eternal blasphemy I'm the mourner of the ones who died for you Swallowed by the dark embracement Open wide the somber gates!
So dark... I'm facing my destiny As far as pleasure led my disciple was me For ages I have been searching for my bride Since she passed away grief became my guide
As darkness falls above It will be there for centuries My mistress of sorrow she will hear my call
I sort of entered the other side... when those words were called up to the sky
As darkness falls above It will be there for centuries Mistress of sorrow, please hear my call
As darkness falls above It will be there for centuries No mistress of sorrow ever heard my call
I fell deeper and deeper as light now was gone I could feel the dark embrace my soul Agony was no more, and so was pain At this point of solitude I knew I was there... There where I belong
Thus far a long journey through my soul's infinity It has been a journey far beyond mortality I have found what I wanted, tranquillity I'll thrive on evil, eternally
I flew over crystal ground My existence numb Over orchards of grievance, sorrow and tears This beautiful silence... calls me now Black fog devours me but I can see it all The monument of my past, the land of seven horizons' before my eyes I reach the land of spiritual rest
It's the dawn of descending - I am the Somberlain down to evil divine domain
Lord of infernal, gather my strength Carry me through the gates
It's the dawn of descending - I am the Somberlain down to evil divine domain
For I'm eternal night - I'm the Somberlain Precede my evil divine domain
Screams and nightmares Of a life I want Can't see living this lie no A world I haunt You've lost all control of my Heart and soul Satan holds my future Watch it unfold
I am the Antichrist It's what I was meant to be Your God left me behind And set my soul to be free
Watching disciples Of the satanic rule Pentagram of blood Holds the jackal's truth Searching for the answer Christ hasn't come Awaiting the final moment The birth of Satan's son
Screams, From a life I live Torment, Is what I give Torture, Is what I love The down fall, Of the heavens above
I am the Antichrist All love is lost Insanity is what I am Eternally my soul will rot
"주문이 풀린 붉은 하늘 아래, 눈 속에 파묻혀 차디차게 얼어붙은 심장을 부여잡고, 한기(寒氣)에 몸을 떠는 천사들 <Where Dead Angels Lies>"를 노래했지만 정작 동면에 들어가야 했던 것은 디섹션(Dissection)이었다. 그 원인이 된 사건에 대해서는 북유럽 블랙메틀 뮤지션들에 대한 최소한의 이해가 필요한데, 민족적 자부심과 훼손된 고대의 전통에 대한 자긍심은 기독교의 강압적 전파에 대한 반감으로 연결되었으며, 진전된 복지제도가 사회의 무력화를 초래했다는 인식은 약자와 소수자에 대한 공격성으로 표출되었다. 후자에 동의하지는 않지만 디섹션의 본체, 욘 뇌트베이트(Jon Nodtveit, 기타/보컬)의 동성애자 살해는 이런 맥락에서 저질러진 것이었으며, 공교롭게도 재결성될 디섹션...
