1. Greeting Immortality
Beneath the ground
Where I sleep among immortals
Patiently I rest
Waiting for another day to rise
I gather strenght
To complete my desires
And search in darkness for purity
For a saviour to release me
As I look back at my former livings
Sadness reflects within me
Wounds deep inside my soul
Wounds that never will heal
Tears are falling in despair
And the blood in my veins are frozen
As I realize
That I never will be forgiven
2. The Religion of Blood-Red Velvet
A blackened night
stared like dying eyes through the window
I was still awake
as a body rose before me
A boy in small age
embraced the velvet
in which he had created
His eyes enriched the beauty
of all imaginations
My wife entered the room
She was not able
to spell her delight
She took him to her breast
I wiped of my tears
The blood-red velvet now became
a symbol of life in my vocabulary
I covered the whole building with it
so that all would know
that there is life
The religion of the blood-red velvet
He grew with a crown upon his head
and made belief and love for him strong
Like a way to honour my creativity
he wrote the religion of the blood-red velvet
3. March of Insurrection
A diciple of ancient rites
A time when reality
was my only shelter
from the weak and wicked
But now
As time has changed
I sit here on my exalted throne
and king I have now become
Foremost in our march of insurrection
I am the creation and destruction
A purpose of all sacrifies
I am all what was ment to be
I spread the seed of evil
Among the lost I punish
Death I will cause
�Generations are entombed in pain
(Lead Markus)
As I have my sword
SLaying, twisting
Plunging through their souls
Come fallen angels, follow me now
On through the path of insurrection
4. My Bleeding Tears
The dissolving of me
The burning fires are within
Looking for no tomorrow
Living only in thoughts of yesterday
Terrifying darkness will meet you
if you try to intrude
The depths of my mind
travel far from here
I speak only for myself
and I blame nobody else
For what I have done
I will always be left to carry my pain
Behold my bleeding tears
that fall
because you will never understand
how I feel
When I am nothing but dust
Do not cry for me
I have caused all of this myself
because the depths of my mind
travel far from here
5. Floating
October sun (Lead Thomas)
Falling calmly down the horizon
Everything looks cold
And the natural beauty surrounds this solemn province
But in my eyes
this blasphemous grace is falling apart
So the mist that I once could hide in
am I now becoming part of
I dissapear
Hide amidst the empty clouds
And in darkness I will remain obscure
Distant from this world of wickedness
Floating my way through infinity
I am flying paralyzed through the depths
and I wonder if I ever shall find peace again
(Lead Markus)
My tears are falling from the wasted generations
Creating rivers
Overflowed with carnal suffering
But from my view
I discover their deserted souls
dissolving on their way to deliverance
Floating my way through infinity
(Lead Markus)
6. A Velvet Creation
I am in love with my paintings
Artworks from the streams of my thoughts
For a moment I was paralyzed
by the colours so deep and living
The dimensions of truth was so far away
because this was not so real
The work of my mind my hand and the brush was not carnal
Yet breathing when I touched the profiles of it's colours
Every picture became a sophistication of my dreams
An essence of artworks was created
Twelve years ago I made a sculpture
and covered her body with a blanket made in sweetest velvet
Her beauty could not be compared
to anything I have created or seen
But I could not give her life
My fantasy was greater than my faith
Suddenly she lifted her eyelids
and stepped of the pedistal on which I placed her
And so I took her hand and attached a ring to her finger
She kissed me slowly to sleep
I married her and we shared the time from past to present
And our thoughts wnet from reality to dream
My motives became part of time
Motives covered in sweetest velvet
7. Into the Cosmic Sphere
Night is crawling near
And darkness approaches on the horizon
The tops of the trees reflect
As shadows on this garden
The sight is getting misty
Cadavers rise from wide open tombs
Cold shapes in the air
And the seal is broken
The dead are brought together with the living
Uniting on their way to paradise
Escape from mortality
And touch the wastes of infinity
The seal is broken now
We leave this place of superstition
Into the cosmic sphere
Plunging through dark clouds
And head for completeness
On illusions shown in dreams
We leave this place of superstition
Into the cosmic sphere
8. Once My Eye Moved Mountains
Once my eyed moved mountains
My sword could pierce like lightning
and on the back of my horse I travelled
Through eternal voids
withing the timeless sphere
Wolves were running by my side
and they abided by my nocturnal grace
My power was sevenfold
and greater than any exalted form
(Lead Markus)
So I tasted the air of mouldering
The air of mortifying resort
I retired as an illusion
and enshrined in bitterness
