1. The Wheel of Sun
As the night divides the day : the dark will come to everyone
fear will strike the hearts of all : the hearts of all both old and young
the fool may be carefree : unknown to him the troubles upon his masters brow
but death us all will grasp with hand so cold to pull us down
And so the sun is low again : along horizon a crimson blaze
soon the dusk us all embrace : the shadows long as life itself
but in the light of moon and stars above be sure yee everyone
tomorrow new a day will dawn : none stay can the course of the wheel of sun
As sure as it is true once we all shall die : true it is not all men lives
a king shall fall : a child be born : the Gods will take and Gods will give
before your time has come : do climb your mountainside on a morning fair
and smell the fragrance carried by the wind : let it blow freely through your hair
damned he who sits still and curse woe the dark but will do not a thing
to light the torch : to shed the light : for him the dark is all within
slowly across the sky the golden disc of life it tumbles on
the wheel of life and light : rebirth : the seasons : behold the wheel of sun
2. Apocalypse
Now that the virgin bitch
breastfeads death
and the winds smell strong
of the dragons breath
And all the stars fall down
like fuckin' rain of fire
there will be souls for sale
but only one damned buyer
Hey, is this the planet of apes?
Endless chewing on sour grapes
Or the age of eclipse?
The coming of the Apocalypse?
Drugs and pills
there's no oil in Vucovar
when a one night stand kill's
no matter who you are
When the Earth cries loud
but not a damn thing is heard
and a pussy is an asset
in this fuckin' world
When the blood runs down
mother Nature's thighs
and the TV-preacher is caught
while jerking off before Christ
And an audience pay's
just to fuckin' gloat
how the bitch is cut wide open
from her cunt to her throat
Hey, is this the planet of apes?
Endless chewing on sour grapes
Or the age of eclipse?
The coming of the Apocalypse?
Hey, is this the planet of apes?
Endless chewing on sour grapes
Or the age of eclipse?
The coming of the Apocalypse?
3. Black Diamond (KISS cover)
Out on the street for a living
Picture's only begun, whoo-ooo-ooooooh
Got you under their thumb
Hit it!
Out on the streets for a living
Picture's only begun
Your day is sorrow and madness
Got you under their thumb
[Chorus]
Whoo, black diamond
Whoo, black diamond
Darkness will fall on the city
It seems to follow you too, whoo-ooo-ooooooh
And though you don't ask for pity
There's nothin' that you can do, no, no
[Chorus]
Whoo, black diamond
Whoo, black diamond
[Solo]
Out on the streets for a living
Picture's only begun, whoo-ooo-ooooooh
Your day is sorrow and madness
Got you under their thumb
[Chorus]
Whoo, black diamond, yeah
Whoo, black diamond
4. Woman of Dark Desires
All dressed in gold and purple the beauty awaits the night
Knowing what will satisfy
Aware of Her delight
The thought of young fresh blood makes the hours go so slow
But the yearn for eternal life and beauty makes her hazelbrown eyes glow
Woman of Dark Desires
Woman of Eternal Beauty
Woman of Dark Desires
Elizabeth Bathory......
Now the hour is comed, the time is right for the feast to take its roll
And by the sunrise 60 bodies will be found raped from their blood and souls
The beauty patiently selects the victims for the night
Innocent blood will give eternal beauty eternal life
Woman of Dark Desires
Woman of Eternal Beauty
Woman of Dark Desires
Elizabeth Bathory......
Now the life you have lived have comed to light and unfold is your perversity.
Now the end is near still death is real
No more beauty or life for eternity
Cold walls entombs your secrets but there's nothing you regret
Embrace death with a smile as the highlands face sunset
Woman of Dark Desires
Woman of Eternal Beauty
Woman of Dark Desires
Elizabeth Bathory......
5. Destroyer of Worlds
A flash like the birth of a sun
A pillar of virgin fire
Now glowing a ruby cloud
The finger of death reaching higher
Radiant dust a chimney rise
Desert floor dissolved wide ablaze
Golden plum against the midnight sky
Burning eyes in death clouds ashgrey face
I have harnessed the stars
Now unleashed upon the earth
I am become death
The Destroyer Of Worlds
Encased in lead and steel
The end and infinity
The eight moon the sixth day the year death
The heatwave to grasp and consume your last breath
Brought high on R marked silver wing
Afar in cold thin morning air
Below as the day begins
The burning eyes in deaths face greedily stares
I have harnessed the stars
Now unleashed upon the earth
I am become death
The Destroyer Of Worlds
6. Sea Wolf
Into the granite : stave by stave
carved ploughwise : now read my tale
the raging ocean I have sailed
many a man I have maimed
Shields I have crushed with my sword
women have I pleased endless nights
on foreign coast my brother did fall
he now dines in hall up high
Erected the stone against a twilight sky
read Sea Wolf's tale
From the coasts of the west to sarkland
to the marshlands and the forests of the east
high adventures : great riches and wine
blood shed : great battles and feasts
My stone firm in mother eart through rain and time
read Sea Wolf's tale
7. Deuce (KISS cover)
Get up
And get your grandma outta here
Pick up
Old jim is workin hard this year
And baby
Do the things he says to do
Baby, if youre feeling good
And baby if youre feeling nice
You know your man is workin hard
Hes worth a deuce
Honey
Dont put your man behind his years
And baby
Stop cryin all your tears
Baby
Do the things he says to do
Do it
Baby, if youre feeling good
And baby if youre feeling nice
You know your man is workin hard
Hes worth a deuce
And baby, if youre feeling good
Yes baby if youre feeling nice
You know your man is workin hard
Yeah
8. The Return of Darkness and Evil
A sorcery written in blood
Whispered by a Witch in the dawn
Summon the darkness pure evil and death
And gather the legions of scorn
The darkness possesses you your soul scream in vain
Tonight the Hellfire shall burn
Thunder and lightning the ancient prediction
The bells chime for Satan's Return...
(Blasphemy
Sorcery)
It's the RETURN of the darkness and evil
It's the RETURN of the fire and flame
It's the RETURN of my master Satan
It's the RETURN of desire and pain
Sacrifice a virgin to the flames of burning Hell
Black Witch of beauty recite the words of spell
Gather masses run in circles scream for mercy cry of pain
No mercy for the blessed in Hell you all will burn in lord Satan's name
Now descend from the burning blasting sky
Holding the reigns ride the night
Satan appear in full glory and pride
The raped souls of Heaven cries
Blasphemy
Victory
Desecration
Hell and damnation
It's the RETURN of the darkness and evil
It's the RETURN of the fire and flame
It's the RETURN of my master Satan
It's the RETURN of desire and pain
9. Day of Wrath
Finally the purifying storm
First we die then be reborn
So flock the banner of The Return now fight and die
Many head serpent is here at our side
Wagnerian end the grand finale is here
Awash with red blood rebirth is near
Feel wind of Mayhem against your face
Bugle divine can be heard throughout space
If in the heat of battle you will have doubt
Just kill them all and let their God sort them out
The tales of this day will replace tomorrows weep
For when thou wind doth saw then storm thou shall reap
On the final day
The angel heart lies cold Under The Sign
And crimson still the frozen Blood On Ice
Drawn on walls in blood of goats the Octagon
The vagrant souls will chant the Requiem until the Twilight is long gone
Suck the leaves of otherness and lie down with the facces goddes
Eat from her rotten flesh there is no life before death
Now the sky is crimson with blood of angels
Kneel before the voice face the anger of God
Day Of wrath
10. I'm Only Sleeping* (Beatles cover)
( J. Lennon, P. McCartney )
When I wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head, I'm still jawning.
When I'm in the middle of a dream,
Stay in bed, float up stream.
Please don't wake me, no don't shake me,
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping.
Ev'rybody seems to think I'm lazy,
I don't mind, I think they're crazy.
Running ev'rywhere at such a speed
'Til they find there's no need.
Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping.
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window,
Taking my time,
Lying there and staring at the ceiling,
Waiting for a sleepy feeling.
Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping.
When I wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head, I'm still jawning.
When I'm in the middle of a dream,
Stay in bed, float up stream.
Please don't wake me, no don't shake me,
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping.
11. Ode
When I'm gone and my time had come to shut these eyes of mine
No stones must be erected I will leave but ash behind
Tell no tales about me when you gather around your fire
I'll be one with mother earth not dining in no hall up high
I have no master I swear no oath
The gods may pass me by
I steer the horse I choose to mount
When the storm draws near and the blood rain from the sky
One life hardly a notch made in the bark of tree of time
One death hardly a drop of blood on the reapers shiny scythe
I take not a thing with me where I will go on the day I die
When my star has ceased to shine, but in a shallow hole I'll lie, I'll lie
Nobody died for my sins
No faith tied to my name
The path I choose to walk is mine
When the clouds turn red and the horizon as in flames
My blood my heart my soul my hands my feet
My hair and eyes my head my lips and teeth
My arms my legs my cock my choice and life
My loungs my mind till the day I die
12. Hammerheart
Now that the wind called my name
And my star had faded now hardly a glimpse up in the empty space
And the wise one-eyed great father in the sky stilled my flame
For the ones who stood me near
And you few who were me dear
I ask of thee to have no doubts and no fears
For when the great clouds fills the air
And the thunder roars from o, so far away up in the sky
Then for sure you will know that I have reached the joyous hall up high
With my bloodbrothers at side
All sons of father with one eye
We were all born in the land of the blood on ice
And now you all who might hear my song
Brought to you by the northern wind have no fear
Though the night may seem so everlasting and forever dark
There will come a golden dawn
At ends of nights for all yee on whom
Upon the northstar always shines
The vast gates to hall up high
Shall stand open wide and welcome you with all its within
And Oden shall hail us bearers of a pounding hammerheart
13. Heimfard
14. Outro
15. You Just Got to Live*
s I'm sitting out here basking looking up into the sky
Well, I'm amazed
How it all just hangs together I watch the clouds slowly float fly
Well, ain't it great
So here we are now it's got this far
I trust you're all just fine
Ain't this life and place just great
No wonder we just won't get 'nuff time
But though we know we can't stay
The world will still turn I wish you all the best
No need to return leave the past to rest
You just have to earn it's not to get but to give
And there's one thing I've learned
You just got to live to see the sun go down on everyone
You just got to live to see that gentle smile and feel alive
You just got to live to see the moon arise and the stars in the sky
You just got to live to take the pain sometimes and to leave it all behind
The world still turns...
You just got to live...
The world still turns...
You just got to live
16. Silverwing**
17. Song to Hall up High**
I know you watch over me
Father of all the past
And all that will ever be
You are the first and the last
The watcher of all that lives
The guardian of all that died
The one-eyed God way up high
Who rules my world and the sky
Northern wind take my song up high
To the Hall of glory in the sky
So its gates shall greet me open wide
When my time has come to die
