1. Misanthropic Horror Magnified
Misanthropic Horror Magnified
Senseless oblivious towers
monuments to absurdity
oceans of ignorance
Humanity at its cruel best!
Oh…let me breathe,
leave me to escape to my dwellings
take off this blunt masque &
sail to ice-clad mountains
where bottomless wells and impenetrable
forests majestically rule!
Man…what an awesome creation!
So eager to destroy his own genesis
- this dying planet
unconsciously hungry for infernal damnation
For myriad aeons past I have travelled this galaxy
ages ago I´ve ceased to be human
for I am no longer, lest a mere shadow
a dying ray of Sun at twilight or
the terminal drop of water in Fate´s fountain
Chorus:
When all noble values are (shamelessly) inverted
and brainwashed minds endure
when animal essence is forgotten
Misanthropic horror…magnified
Decadence is all I see
Triviality lies before me
Nihilism - the only solution
Misanthropy - the final escapism
Your world sinks to vomiting proportions
visions of decay spring everywhere
entire lost civilizations
succumb to a "worldly" oddity
Woe and torment be behind me…
the maze of such reality
There is still Art in few of us, wise
and an inner trueness to Mother Earth
the raving oceans in our grey hearts
and the breath of fire in our eyes
"In this paragon of persons weak
who pray some Lord their souls to keep
Let them die before they wake
I praise the Earth, lead me astray!"
2. Maelstroms Of Majestic Night
Maelstroms of Majestic Night
I, Lord of all winterstorms
reign opaque and serene
from my sovereign throne o` ruthless might…
"Amongst the shadow of ev`ry raven wing
Obsidian black in the moon-misty sky"
Torrents of blasphemous fire
enrage forth…
thus allowing my soul to devour
feeblish souls with sickening power
as the ancient warcrafts proudly descend
from the North
Dwelling in the depths of midnight horizons
endless realms of darkness
benight`d by the third moon
through dismal soil, eternally I wander
-such pure Nightly evocative magick…
In the bleakest oblivious scenarios of hidden plateaus
lays atop a shadow, amongst the gleaming moonshine;
`neath the archaic spell, still the arcane oak wanes,
forever entwin´d
and a cave I find, of the deepest black
rendering memories of our Pagan forefathers
I have sworn on the whoracle of the damn´d
to forever raise my fist to the sky
A thousand sorcerers I summon`d
on my forest way to the hellish Kulthay
Oh the blood of my foes and fiends…
how I beheld thy corpses
raptur`d by virulent winds
Fogbound, through malevolent disguise
I dreamt in cold waters
of ancient realms darkly enthron`d
Whilst cold ice-winds stormed the mountain
under a profane enchantment I sentenc`d all to live
…or perish.
Oh, my vast imperium of sublime grandeur…
thy memory ever present in my mourning heart, old ones
Black is my soul as it withers
Black is my heart as it dies
Black is my blood as it freezes
Black is my silhouette as it lies…
…Now seal the gate
3. Symphonia Chaos
Symphonia Chaos
Chaos: mind & soul
departure of our earthly constancy
born in one, spawned by time & eternity
Majestic echoes of fight
the true empirical might
Graciously abiding true melodies
and wondrous celestial sights
Floating through space, beyond time
voyages within the Void
of the chaos black essence
disregarding gravity Laws
Enhancing our organisms
(to) a new Paradox!
Ghastly ghostly presences
Insanity takes its place
while an effigy fades astray
and memories still withstand
Chaos… ruler of Time
Chaos… infinity is Thine
shadowy inner essence
cosmic tapestry and sparkling
spheres of a circular reason
(Behold thy shadow in fear and
break forth the secure paradigms of Order)
L´Apocalypse menaçant
est finalement à notre portée
attend son développement
quel merveilleux spectacle
pour les yeux!
As we behold our bodies sail
through the oniric oceans
…of life´s Element
Under the aegis of the
eerie songs of the night
Everlasting chants of darkly bright
And the grand finale is thus found
far beyond the lunar odyssey
spectrums of the vortex abound
and breed forth the Chaos Symphony
(The Gateway to the Arcane Wisdom
Quintessence of Heathen Art)
4. Fatum
5. Theatre Unfolds (Siglo XVIII Of A Diseased Mind)
Theatre Unfolds (Siglo XVIII of a diseased mind)
The theatricons now arise
Harlequins are guests of honour (and mages!)
And Lo! What a dreadful masquerade
Such a ball of honoured horror
Remains to be beheld by eyes of blood
(and, surely, satyrical mud)
The masques are never ornaments without stamped fear
The perfect guise of hideous lust as seen through the mirrors´ flood
As vanity`s Buffoon swings in jests through the great-hall
Hoaxing all in awe and leaving awe in All!
The clinging serenade in shimmering aeons scripted
Draped in irony and sarcasm and true melodrama
All hail the voluptuous chimes of mockery
As the masques once again unfold
Forcing the purest glances to withdraw in manner bold
Chorus:
In Siglo XVIII, witness this operetta unveil
Like some mad custom of unshamed, untamed pride
A twisted vision of a moribund lunatic
Behold as the wicked theatre unfolds!
(Now hear the charming cornets
growling within the palace´s catacombs)
Witches and the mahogany lions
Naïve prey and deadly hunter in fancy
To and fro, the dance exhales in a reverie of rapture
With every loathsome character not seen hitherto
Cobras and diverse reptiles of peril
Have ye seen the mammoth´s hecatomb?
Let us hope this fest endeth not hereupon
´fore the bleeding ideals of Old
What majesty, such ostensible dread…
What mirth, except for the lunatic´s head
Yes…but when all masques have elapsed
The crown of sterility shalt rise, unfettered
"In this Splendourous masquerade
upon which an ensemble of curtains fall
Spectres melt in their façade
(mere) merging canvas on the wall"
6. Soundscapism (Bonus Track)
