Dark Sorcery (1995 MCD)

1. Black Dust

"human dreams - such a fruitful place to plant the seeds of terror."

child i arise
in your dreams
as a creature - of dread
as a demon - or a wicked witch
what pleases me - i choose
i am the master - of terror
i create your nightmares
child - i am tearing you - apart
my mastery - can not be escaped
black claws tears your mind
black chaos - black terror
child - i am your pain

i'll engrave pain - into your soul
i will set your soul on fire
black flames will rise - as the gate
opens - into the realm - of the dead
here - you will sleep - eternally
and in your never ending dream
i will dance - and laugh
and i will feed
again - and again


2. Victory

once again - we have prevailed
under the sun - we have fought
for our belief

hurling our swords
into our foes
drinking their blood
as it spurts - and covers the grass
with the colour red

once again - our tribe dominates
the green steppes - the grey mountains
and the dark deep valleys
there can be only one tribe
the strongest survive
hail
we will defend our domicile
forever

there's a feast tonight
where we will celebrate
our victory - as we have done
so many times before
hail - to our gods - they are with us
we know
they have always led us
to our - victory


3. Raven And Blood

high fathers - teaching
knowledge - increasing
wandering through lands
listening - mysterious folk lore
enchantment - through books

desire - to learn the truth
to seek the raven - and the blood

travelling for many days
i find the place - where the elves hide
i must seek their knowledge
elves of wisdom - knowledge of mystery
faith growing - deeply
raven and blood - await me

time goes on - i have no longer guidance
have i failed - is this folk lore
confusion within my mind

i look up - and in the tree i see
the raven
and i see the land - covered with blood
raven and blood - they came to me
finally - the eternity

[spoken]

...and the raven became my king
...and the blood embraced me
...and entered my veins
...and provided me with the strength of
ares
the god war

...And So The Night Became (1998)


1. There's No Wine Like Blood's Crimson

Bloodred sky
Bloodred fields
The sun in it's last breath
Providing the shadows of the trees
A moment to dance before death
Still - their makers dance
In the cold breeze
That gives me the stench

Of blood not yet cold
And torn dead flesh

I raise my hammer of war
To call my vulture
Up high it flies from the fields
From it's kingdom it sees
The most wonderful sights
Dead men - wounded worms
The remains of a conquered land
My slaughters and victory

My hammer shall not yet rest
From the north I hear
Hordes of young men
How unaware they are of their people's
Angel of death
Their blood shall paint my armour
As I slay them all brutally

Down the hill they ride
I greet them with my war cry
As I slam my hammer into the ground
Come to me mortals

My wary hatred engraves
Fear in their faces as they see their death
I am war, I am death
My hammer crushes skulls and bones
Screams of fear
My sword thirst drowns in blood
Tears and begging for mercy
I laugh and kill
I am the god of war
I am Ares


2. As I March

My pale soul
Shines under my moon
On one of my bold mountains
I stand
I hold my torch high
Up against my black sky
The skulls in my belt
Glow in the light of the moon
As does my sword
More and more as the unpure blood
Runs off and down on my bold strong mountain
It runs

My mountain drinks
It calls the rain
It calls my father
Brutally they come

As thunder
They slam their powers
Deep into my pale soul
I scream in pain and lust
My wind brings the rain
From my mighty oceans
My black sky is still clear
I scream and laugh

As I dance the dance of war
Under my moon
In my storm
On one of my seven mountains


3. Warrior Of The Crescent Moon

In shimmering circles of silver light
In icy wind and spitting fire
Through flowing stream and ancient mountain
Thou alone dost see me

By lightning, thunder, hail and wind
I conjure thee
By sword of fire that can never fail
I conjure thee

I fall into the dark ravine
The clash of swords fills my spirit
Thou who shinest by night on the see
Casts the shadow of the arc over my soul

By ravens wings and serpents venom
Bestow your gifts upon me
By eye of wolf and dragons flame
Grant me your strength

I scream
The ravens battlecry
The powers of old embrace me
The arc of the crescent moon
Casts a shadow over my soul


4. Blodsverging

Mektige norske sjeler
Bemorket av norronsk trollskhet
Ut av taakeslor, de vandret
Morke krigerske sjeler
Stolthet styrket av blod
Majestetisk krigerske broderskap

Voldelige morke toner
Brutal atmosphere of morke tanker
Skulle styrke en enhet
Av stormfullt hat
Flammehav, blodige kjettinger
Svarte sinn i en evig reise

Ta sverdet fatt
Du nordsonn, knus dem ned
Norge skal bli vaart som for
Vi skal seire alle slag

La oss kjempe sammen
For vare stolte forfedre
La oss hedre dem
La oss seire
For dem


5. When The Crow's Shadow Falls

At dusk a stillness falls
Defeated warriors seized from life
Shielding the landscape, they lie
As legions have before them

The crow spirals down
From it's tower of dominion
It's eternal quest is the blood of the slain
It sees battles, victories and visions foretold
It's eyes hold the secrets of eternity

Devouring warriors
Seeking spilled blood
The triple figure of war shall arise
A shape of black shadows
And wind blown leaves
It shall sweep the endless domain

Snowflakes soar on the northern wind
Figures transform to crystal and ice
The voice of the future
Cries out across the land

I am the wind that rolls from the sea
I am the darkness that cloaks your soul
I am the whisper that drifts through the trees
I am the fate that compels you all


6. Ild Dans

En evig vandring
Er inderlig onske
Hos et lite barn
Et miktig barn
Er avkom av ild

Dette vesen
Skal tilkalle en makt
Som skal blafre i nordens
Mektige storm

Bare hun kan vekke makten
Som hviler under bellig jord
Hun vil danse i vind
Og i ildens enorme omfavnelse

Dans i ilden
Ta ilden stige opp
La den berke
Og stikke hellig jord
Til aske, du vesen
Vis oss din ild dans


7. ...And So The Night Became

Cold earth
Blackened souls blessed by etenity
Dwelling under unholy ground
Forbidden thoughts and dreams
Provided by strong storms
Of bold beliefs and black
Souls of immortality
The demons are dancing

Creeping on the path
Clinging to the fairytale
Which they call religion
They are slayed by our demons
Of war and hurling storms
These are human creatures
Of a filthy and weak kind

As we crawl up and out
Of our cold earth with blood
On our hands and faces
We greet our brothers
With horned wings and cold minds
The dwelling and feeding
It is complete
Now we rise


8. Fyrndeheimen

[instrumental]

"...far back in time, where the outlines of
history dissolve, lies the world of myths, it
looses itself farther back into the mist of light
where pictures appear and then vanish in an
eternal stream. Through the cloudscapes of
the past the sunlight is falling in across ida
vollen, where the gods throw their golden
dice in the grass in fearless game, while
udarbrunnen trickles in the silence..."

Ascension Of Terror (2001)


1. Possessed By The Serpents Vengeance

we dwell in purity
beneath a sea of abundance
content with the nurture
of our native land

we are awakened in torment
stabbed by the oppressors blade

a silence
slashed by tyranny's
hostile face

provoke they must
the righteous sons
invading our dwelling
and yield we shall not

restrain us
and we shall strike
at the throats of our
oppressors possessed by the
serpents vengance
hold us down and you shall know
the fury that dwells within

your wrath coiled around the earth
your venom courses it veins
strike at their fear
destroy their kingdoms
with your poisonous rage

revenge

pulsing through seas of a blind age
appear in their dreams
as a hellish crusade
suppression, condemnation
to spit away

probing with your morality
bore us not with your profanity
for those who rose
shall strike
with the serpents vengance


2. Slaying The Lambs

i walk the landscape
as a newborn plague
i see the land infested
by gods holy worms
scattered around they lie
christ's soldiers

untameable flames rage
over distant horizons
shades roar across the crimson sky
demons - seeking their prey
christ's lambs

ash - death - fire - chaos
see the murdered children
their faith in christ
being crushed by darkness
natures truth

mortals and nightmares
blood and bones
flames and corpses
the world burning
in a merciless godless mayhem

piles of corpses
monument of war
thrilled by the stench
of christian blood
mother earths men march
the power of darkness
glows in their blackened eyes
the lies of christianity
shall no longer be heard
not ever again
shall our world be branded
by lies

ash - death - fire - chaos
see the murdered children
their faith in christ
being crushed by darkness
natures truth


3. Ascension Of Terror

i am hear to bring fear into your life
like the icy north wind i live
no matter where you run
i will be there

i will tease you endlessly
you will feel the pain
you will know my name
you are bound by might

i will feel you with terror
i will hunt you with delight
you will know i'll be stalking you
you'll be trapped in my cold embrace

i will tease you endlessly
you will feel the fear
you will know my name
you are bound by might

as my prey you will feed my infinite hunger
i will gaze into your eyes and devour you
in bliss i will shred your existence
beyond panic - you will - die


4. The Essence Of The Elder

leaving the dismay of the world behind
traveling in the essence of chaos
time and matter dissolving about me
a journey beyond death

your blood pulses with a thousand years of existence

standing proud before those who's ageless blood
flows through my veins
their spiraling souls empower me
visions of chaos
illuminating the shadows of old
as endless links weaved
into a web of existence
each thread providing a spectrum of lives

a union of blood, a union of souls
an endless bond sworn and upheld

i walk with you
over the fields you bled red
through fires that finally devoured you
through your dreams and your nightmares

as wolves we run
as eagles we fly

as your blood and honor flow through me
so will i honor you
through incarnations of strength
eternally

leaving the dismay of the world behind
traveling in the essence of time
time and matter dissolving about me
a journey beyond death


5. Warlust

i break the chains that holds the storm
i feel its pulse it hammers the sky

volcanic winds of blooded rage
mind tearing frost
shall provide brutal death
once again you shall feel
the darkened realms
warriors

by our will you will kneel
beneath us you will always stand
your poisoned soul belongs to me

war - war - war
warlust

remembrance
we know you know the pain
intensified it shall become

drenched the fields of war
know what we possess

dimensions of pain
intensified suffering
dimensions of pain
intensified suffering

volcanic winds of blood red rage
mind tearing frost
shall provide brutal death

by our will you will kneel
beneath us you will always stand
your poisoned souls belongs to me

war - war - war
warlust

remembrance
we know you know the pain
intensified it shall become


6. Wrath Of The WarLord

time for gathering
beware of the barriers they are weak
blinded we were led astray
behold as the truth of might returns

manipulation
open your eyes and see your failure
the whirlwinds of my destiny
blackened might
the eternity has no throne for you

you pretended to be a god
you carved lies into minds
now the lies shall die with you
i will show you the face of a god
the wary lust for torture
roars inside of me

now you will die
the whirlwinds of your destiny
feel the blade of fire
as it cuts your mortal soul

fragile souls yet blessed by eternity
find strength in unity
there is none above and none beneath
you are the gods
the lords and queens of darkness
and glorified immortality


7. Burning The Shroud

within you it lies since the rise of your time
you've feared it ignored but truth never lies
its existence marked at the birth of time
the darkness inside
the shadows
that dance in your soul

to deny is to fear
embrace the darkness
reveal in its power
within it lies the harmonious truth
a voyage into the cave of shadows
yields the jewels of knowledge and wisdom

does not the night
and the silver moon
enchant your being

the caressing whisper of the night
no harm will come to those who are true of heart
look to the sun and the brightness shall blind you
stare into the black embrace
the sight deepened with wisdom

free your consciousness
accept the reality of darkness
it has never been a place of dread
knowledge and wisdom
is given to those who seek
achieve the empowerment
of endless mysterious nights


8. Denial Of Salvation

for all the thousands i've killed
for all the children i've tortured
for all the souls i've burned
hear a demons cry

the darkened lusts
you carved into me
suffocates the remains
of my human sanity why me
this i never desired

see me
free me
unchain me

this life eternal
is not what you spoke off
why this horned, grim face
this cold, black body
i want to be
set free

save me free me unchain me

i am a demon
i serve the wicked
i'm trapped eternally
now i must return
to dimensions of
rage - pain - war - -hate
where's my god


9. The Lair Of Anubis

breathe the scent of death
tombs of ancient souls
lie in sacred forms

ruler of the dead
speak the names of might
hold the sacred rite

once you walked the earth
now to dwell in the
chambers of a lost
time

hear me see me
do my will
arise arise
from the realm of death

stand to judge
the souls
off those who pass
through your
funeral chamber

weigh the hearts
of those
who enter into your
kingdom of eternity

anoint their bodies
with sacred oils
depart your knowledge
from the sacred - scripts

command
your darkened
battalions of
messenger - demons

hear me - hear me - hear me - hear me

arise - arise
from the realm of death
hear me - see me
do my will

Hexaeon (2006)


1. The Darkest Of Minds



2. GodHead Charlatan

Weakling, the apprehensive tortoise bound
Tomfool, the wretched spawn chained
Idle, the oblivious indulgent collapsed
Infatuated, the duplicate of submission

Plains of flames, cleansing of vermin
I snort the souls of ash

Godhead charlatan

Coma suicide dismantled from witfulness
Loss of obstinacy, loss of power
Displayed in a pilloty to be mocked

All is legerdemain brough upon us
The reason of distrust and famine wars

I will be the leviathan
The pest of murder the rats of the ridicule

Revocation of the godhead charlatans
They breed like rats

Weakling, the apprehensive tortoise bound

Godhead charlatan
Godhead charlatan


3. The 9th Revolution

In those days man will seek death
And not be able to find it
And soon after to die
And death will fly away from them

I... the man of many names
Will help these the human race
I... exterminans the angel of destruction and will
Leads man into his death

I will not convert from my deeds of murder
Nor from my art of sorcery
Or my theft and adultery

For I am the angel
Of the bottomless pit
As when time is near, will lead my family
Through the hole to my kingdom
Therefore I taunt mankind as swarms of insects

I am not the king of Jews
Nor I am a cult leader
I am what you've made me to be
For my inner eye lits my thoughts
My fires in your cities


4. In The 3rd Dwells Oblivion

Far beyond the regions of the sun
Beyond light and creative word
In the level of the underworld
In the third dwells oblivion

The eye has lost it's sense
Darkness it's beyond itself
The abyss � neverending
Farthest depths of primordial darkness

The destruction of the body
Is the destruction of the ba
Effacing the shadows of the damned

To nonexistence

Where the sun shines
And no breath of life stirs
Where hearing and sight fades away
And the being itself is shattered

Before the black hole of nonbeing
In which the world will dissolve in the end
In the third step of the underworld
In the third dwells oblivion


5. Hexaeon

Enfeebled swarms of the blind man
Desolate is the horizon
The antidote has been poured in glasses
The coma for the hexaeon

Generations falter
Lurid eyes beyond their backs
As snake come slithering
To smother their necks

A work in slumberland
Visions immortalized
Through vigilance
Dreaming of hexaeon


6. Punished

Again I shall force pain
On you for lies maggot

Your false words grants you pain

I will make you want death cry out his name

Reality will unfold
As my blade sinks into your flesh
No sweet goodness � to save you from the pain

You are being punished
Through this dark pain does not

Rise form what you can hell

No hell guides me
As you I do as I please

Reality will unfold
As my blade sinks into your flesh
No sweet goodness � to save you from the pain

Punished godless abandoned


7. Ageless Void

Puissance in the abstract
A band can't reach obstances
Mundane, such invisible pillars
The human horror obsolete

Abstract life and all therein
Implode the matter senseable
The will without meaning
Ageless the void of old

The ultimate throne of none-existence
The rabid dog of pandemonium
The king of martyrs and man
The condition we name nothingness

Absorbing the stars
The leper planets fall
Before us, after us
Aeternus � in aeternum


8. Christbait

Born abuser alone weak
Torn apart away bleak
Dreams of death needle seek
Loss of will addictive reek

Love lost sucking on self-pity
Dirthead, the lowest of lives
Filthbait, a grand statistic
Christbait, religious worms to feed

Exordium to a new form of disgust
Suction of life-filth into another succumed
Christbait sulcated vermin
A circle of submission into comfort

Body erused � trust in god
Weak flesh � weak in mind
Have nothing � subdued in lies
Empty shell � life is dead


9. What I Crave

I drift reveal darkness
I feel see me glow
You give I absorb it
Close the door I seek more

Drawn to might I am
Judge me not I say

I crave power for me
I ask no I take
See reach out I give back
Unity force we dwell high

Drawn to might I am
Judge me not I say

Walk with me we shall wander
Dark and strong we'll never know

Drawn to might I am
Judge me not I say

I fear nothing
Forge the soul again
