1. Sea of Darkness
2. Maelström
In the distant bare islands of Lofoten
Where high peaks rise above the dark sea
There's a grinding stream
Which runs in endless flow
Raging in fury
Is an ocean in my heart
As I see her ageless beauty
And the shinning eyes that set her apart
It's the Maelström
The awsome power of the Gods
Ineffable feelings engulfing me
And transcending my human nature
No sun shines
On this Sea of Darkness
Where huge waves of grief
Wreck men's dreams
So show me your dark side
And let me descend
Take me to, drag me to
The profoundness of your being
Let's sink
In this glassy ocean
In a sacred silence
In eternal motion
Through swirling waters
Forever descending
The two of us
Going down...
Oh! I see the moon
Been dragged down by the current's drift
In a vortex of chaos
Through an endless whirl
Bury me deep into your heart
Take me to your shrine
In the depths of the sea
3. Obscure
Obscured... by your shade
The sun is dead, my days are over
Standing still in a cold sleep
Full of dreams of clouds in the night sky
Eclipsed by a black wing
That takes me to the highest heaven
Where you dwell amongst the angels
In an everlasting state of beauty
Obscured... by your shade
The sun is dead, my days are over
Standing still in a cold sleep
Full of dreams of depths and maelströms
Blue´s the ocean of mistery
In which I dive to meet you
With dolphins and mermaids upon your feet
In an everlasting state of beauty
Obscure thoughts remind me of you
Wearing a crown of flowers
Obscure thoughts remind me of you
Dressed in snowy-white
Obscure thoughts remind me of you
Under the silver moonlight
Obscure thoughts remind me... you
Wearing a crown of flowers
In an everlasting state of beauty
4. Lilith
In my sombre room I stay
Staring into emptiness
Melancholy fills the air
As I realize She will never return
Mirrows are windows
Into Her World
I still remember that misty night
When She emerged from the great oval mirror
To haunt me in my dreams
And take me to the profoundness of Her being
Immersing in Her soul
Unveiling Her misteries
Her eyes are two views of infinity
Her absence drives me to insanity
Precious memories of the distant past
Now echo deep inside my mind
She's left me here with the taste
Of Her blood in my mouth
Precious memories
That grieve my heart
5. Eternal Curse
Prowling in darkness
Hunting victims
To give the kiss of fire
And possess the bodies
Walking under the full moon
Terrifying the mortals
Sanctifying the blood
In the name of Satan
Take me in your lust
Bewitch me with your eyes
My nocturnal visitor
Bless me with your curse
Take me in your lust
Bewitch me with your eyes
My sucubos lover
You are Lilith's daughter
Bewitching and enthralling
Spreading plague and fear
Take the crucifix
Or you will be lost forever
Since the old days
We've been among you
Walking at your backs
Like a shadow in the moonlight
So you won't resist
When I look into you
And when I open my mantle
I'll show you something new
Take me in your lust
Bewitch me with your eyes
My transylvanian princess
Bless me with your curse
And now that she's given me
The gift of eternal life
I begin to wonder
If it's actually an endless nightmare
6. Every
Prowling in darkness
Hunting victims
To give the kiss of fire
And possess the bodies
Walking under the full moon
Terrifying the mortals
Sanctifying the blood
In the name of Satan
Take me in your lust
Bewitch me with your eyes
My nocturnal visitor
Bless me with your curse
Take me in your lust
Bewitch me with your eyes
My sucubos lover
You are Lilith's daughter
Bewitching and enthralling
Spreading plague and fear
Take the crucifix
Or you will be lost forever
Since the old days
We've been among you
Walking at your backs
Like a shadow in the moonlight
So you won't resist
When I look into you
And when I open my mantle
I'll show you something new
Take me in your lust
Bewitch me with your eyes
My transylvanian princess
Bless me with your curse
And now that she's given me
The gift of eternal life
I begin to wonder
If it's actually an endless nightmare
7. Despair
8. The Visionary Hope
His hopes...
Have all been swept away by the wind
Like autumn leaves foretelling the freezing season
The winter has come for him
Pain curses his dreams
Too late to move
Too late to live
But even in the depths of despair
He still can see something there
Desire's blazing ghost
However he´s still awaiting for the sign
The mistery is revealed in glory
His soul´s in a permanent state of bliss
It is the visionary...hope
The gleam of your eyes
And the charm of your smile
Are my only joy
They solely can enchant me
In the ecstatic contemplation
Of this visionary...hope
9. Faust
10. Bleak
Snowstorm in the summer
Cold wind blowing and freezing the land
Hazy horizons in sunless afternoons
See! The clouds are hanging
Oppressively low in the heavens
So low... I feel I could reach them
On the wings of Lucifer
I'll fly to live in your dreams
In the land of the dead hopes
Where the souless roam
Please don't leave me here
Take me to those moors
Open your eyes as the rain falls
Let it wash your tomb
Never again I'll feel you haunting me in starless nights
Moving silently through the lonely hills
But when I close my eyes
In my dreams I still can see those bleak lands
So dark... yet so beautiful
11. Insane
Now everybody seems to be neurotic
Under the grey skies of dust
Peaceful men are becoming psycopaths
Their brains are starting to rust
You must get control of yourself
You must always be the strongest and the best
Always trying to hide your empty self
You say: "I am the best and fuck the rest!"
You are all insane
Distorted facts and misconceptions
Are spread as if they were old truths
Stupid men are becoming idols
The masses need their heroes
I don't have to submit myself
To all this crap they preach to me
No more trying to hide my real self
I say: "I'm a free spirit and not a pawn!"
I am not insane
12. Shadows
13. Legions of Hades
...And we end up here
In this Holy Land of endless unrest
By the waters of the Dead Sea
Finally we have finished our quest
Come down to the silent shores
Where dark waves kiss our feet
See the thousand armies gathering
Under the blood red sky
Hades...Hades
Legions of Hades
On the top of the highest tower
In the holy city of Jerusalem
The Angel of Death sits delighted
As he watches the slaughtering of defenceless people
In a cruel demonstration of power
They shoot fathers and their children
While the rest of the world is misinformed, misled and manipulated
Hades...Hades
Legions of Hades kill, destroy and lie
Hades...Hades
Legions of Hades kill, destroy and laugh
Let's cry for our freedom
From the Legions of Hades
From the ones who represent
The spirit of hate
14. Forever in My Mind
Forever in my mind, you'll ever be
For everything you meant to me
You still breathe your life in me
Even after oblivion has closed your eyes
Sometimes we were like two clouds
Moving aimlessly trough the heavens
Or two tiny bits of dust
Dancing in the wind
But now it is all too distant
Only a pale flame trembling in the dark
Thoughts of a bygone age
That time has faded away
I shall keep the memory of your smile forever
In a sanctuary deep within my soul
And also all those special moments
I had the honour to share with you
And after all
The only thing I really wished
Was to have given you one last kiss
Before the angels lifted you to the highest heaven
Forever in my mind, you'll ever be
For everything you meant to me
15. The Reverse of Life
