1. Last Ride On The Winds Of Eternity
Oh...
I am lying down on the altar...
In my crypt, I can suddenly feel the air freezing...
The ancestral ritual is complete...
My soul can begin a new journey beyond Death...
As I'm coming out of my body, my physical senses are slowly disappearing.
Imprisoned in flesh, this is what I was, but now I am released, now I'm not a human being...
The winds are coming to take me away!
Seven senses are transcending my soul.
I am flying towards what humans call Hell; vast plains devastated in front of me and warriors joining battle under a sky red as blood.
The ravens are showing the way as the funeral winds carry me.
And once the Styx is far away, time will cease: immortality.
Ethereal atmosphere torn up by screams, archangels are burning, raped by unholy knights.
Diabolical laughters of the Gods; I'll soon be a part of them, when I'll meet the Majesty...
I can hear a voice calling me.
Confused is my mind, I've never been so far.
Beyond the forests of dead trees, unknown dimensions are attracting the winds I ride.
I can feel the embrace of a palpable coldness.
As I reach the speed of light, the voice is getting louder.
Now I enter the land that was yet existing even million years before the creation of time itself...
No!
They're consuming my soul, no!
The unspeakable Ones...
Winds are losing control, no!
In the hideous storm...
Thousand shadows are blowing fire, ice and rain.
Astral entities are rising in blood, mist and pain.
A maelstrom of horrors, tortured forms defying the whole physical laws, an invincible disaster of the unpurest and evilest incarnated thoughts...
But braver than the bravest knight, my ride I still carry on without fear.
I've now came out of this horror, the mental demoniac rape has made me stronger.
The winds are still carrying me away!
A feeling of hope's invading me, I'm seeing what was written below me: the wise Hades was awaiting me, as I always read in the prophecies.
And then he's calling my name out loud...
And then I'm calling his name out loud!
He is standing on a small island in the middle of a blood ocean, and Charon the ferryman's waiting at his side.
"Take this amulet, it will show you the way in the Gods' Castle; this is a pentagram forged in the Eternal Fire!"
Staring at the Castle defiantly, carrying on my quest for immortality, I've now entered the Gates of Hell.
The shining pentagram can bring me out of the maze.
The winds will carry me to the end!
In the hugest of the Halls, seven Demons gazing at me with a mocking smile.
"I'm asking for eternal life."
"We'll give you what a human being deserves..."
"Can't you see all that was a game?", said Astaroth, laughing at me.
"You have vainly defied your fate; you're mortal, you'll forever be."
In no time, my vision has grown dim , and everything's disappeared around me...
It can't be...
The winds had stopped blowing...
A fearful darkness is invading my soul...
No, no, no!
What have I done?
How can I be so naive?
I've realised I'm just a dust, my soul is forever lost.
I faced the infernal powers, I was seeking for immortality, but I found eternal Death.
Nothing, nothing will help me now.
Satan, you've teached me that life has no value.
Ah, but eternally, into the Abyss I'll fall...
Into the infinite Darkness, there's no sign of life around me.
My energy's sucked by the supreme chaos, I'll forever live my mortality...
I'll fall, I'll fall...
Eternally, into the Abyss I'll fall...
I'll fall, I'll fall...
Eternally, into the Abyss I'll fall...
2. The Legion That Will Never Fall
Coming from the desolated lands, we were invincible. Killing, raping our enemies, dominating everyone. And every knight of this peaceful land was scared in front of us. We were hundreds of cruel barbarians, thirsty for holy blood. But one day, as we were revelling on the battlefield, we deeply felt the presence of a sacred sentinel. All went off quickly ; a thousand knights on white horses were encircling us, and they raised their swords, they were approaching us slowly, to finally launch an attack. So began the war. The battle was raging. Each camp had soon countless dead. Death does not frighten me, so I killed with bravery. But as we were losing, I saw my warriors giving up. I couldn't believe it : the fear was distorting their face… Then I screamed they must recover themselves, that they must fight with honour but it was useless. They lost their courage so their soul was already dead. I've always believed that we were the strongest ones, but I was wrong, they were so weak inside. I suddenly felt just as if I were alone. I was betrayed by my own warbrothers. I saw in their eyes their fear of eternal Death, the brave eagles have turned into insects. A true warrior never surrenders. I quickly made a decision. I decided to slay them all… I decided to slay them all. My power increased, I've never felt this before. It was as if my blood was replaced by pure hate. Thousand demons have possessed my soul, I had the feeling I was the mighty Phoenix. My vengeance has transcended my strength, even Death itself wouldn't have stopped my longing for killing. The blood on my hands… I love that. I rejoice when I take a life. The true war began : no quarter… I cut their head off and the whole battlefield became red. I was the great ruler of a chaotic genocide. Exterminated was the huge sentinel of light, their flesh left to rot. But my strong anger wasn't satisfied yet because my terrified knights were alive. So they had to pay. They once were my brothers, but then they were just sub-men. They didn't understand when I killed them one by one. But to my great surprise, three true warriors were helping me. The feeble creatures died, hate in our eyes and pain in theirs. We looked about us to savour the carnage : our evilness was fed. And we're standing there, the night is now falling. We're united in darkness. So we have decided to create our own legion. We will slaughter the weaks. With fearless knights we'll be the legion that will never fall. We are the beginning of the end. We follow the ways of Satan. We believe in the highest law. We don't care for eternal Death. Death is the supreme relief, but Life is the sweetest torture.
3. Through The Moonless Night
I was sleeping under dead trees. The day has reached its end. Awaken by the crying owls, I gazed at the sky for a while. As always the night was so cold that weird shapes seemed to emerge out of the ground. I am searching for my grave. Eternal Death I crave. To the night I am a slave. The hidden moon can save… When darkness infests the whole sky, my pain will be cruel but so sweet. At this precise moment in time, I can find the place where my heart ceased to beat. Through the moonless night… Through the moonless night… I'll suffer and bleed to be released from Life… My sould raped by visions of evil. My flesh torn by torture and razors. When I first died, a good angel reincarnated my soul. So I came back to endure the fears felt in a human life. But I'll revenge, I'm above his curse, I am a son of Hell. The angel's blood will be spilled with hate when I'll find out my grave. I have walked this land during thousand years and miles. Through woods and mountains, I've suffered from being alive. I've learnt to praise Death and to detest what Life is is. Tonight is the night… Through the moonless night…Through the moonless night… Desires and senses in fire, my malediction comes again. Pain is physical, not mental ; I use this agony to call for fiends' help. I am searching for my grave. Eternal Death I crave. To the night I am a slave. The hidden moon can save… Suddenly a green mist appeared, a horned Demon hidden in it, a sparkling sword sticked at his feet. He raised his hellish voice, looked at me and said : "Listen to me… Take this sword cursed by my Master himself, fullfil your vengeance towards your enemy. Carry your head high for your heart is damned. You may not be the most valorous knight but you live by your own unholy law. So be brave and the sword will lead your hand…" Then a flash of lightning struck the weapon and when I took it, I disintegrated to appear in an old cemetery. I saw my tomb, the angel sat on it. Guided by hate, I screamed his name and began to fight… "Kill!" My battle is won, the angel torn apart ; vengeance is mine! The curse is broken, finally I will die eternally. My torture has ceased ; it will soon be a part of my slight past. Now I'm taking the sword, sticking it in my heart. My blood is flowing, I'm slowly passing away. One shall understand Death ought to be a relief. The sky is moonless, Satan's waiting for my soul. Indeed, tonight was the night…
4. Praise The Supreme Ruler Of Your Soul
[i]I. I am Life[/i]
I am the one who rules each fragment of Life and Death. I am above All because I have created it. Master of Time and Space, the Universe in my hands. Listen, weak humans : I dominate your very soul. Earth is the thing that amuses me the most. I like to play with feeble creatures I've made. Life is as primitive as a star in the sky. Ephemeral as light, trifling as some ashes. Life's less than the shadow of a swarming larva. My greatest pleasure is to enjoy human misery. Time is eternal, not Life. They're fools to believe in immortality. Space is infinite, not Life. They really think they can go beyond my laws. I am Life, I am… Life. I will torment you endlessly. I execrate your blind race. I can decide your fate. You would be afraid of me if you would know who I am. Insignificant ones must suffer. I am the one who rules each fragment of Life and Death. I am above All because I have created it. Master of Time and Space, the Universe in my hands. Listen, weak humans : I dominate your very soul. Some have joined me by curses and sorcery. But this elite can't escape their Death either. Life is certain but Death too…
[i]II. I am Death[/i]
Since men exist, they believe in strange gods and myths, symbolics of their poor dreams. Don't search for the meaning of Life for there is not. You are all destined to die. I am the Nothingness you fear, the pure darkness that will rape your existence. And my Powers are far above the Satan you have imagined. Death is not a sweet paradise, a joyful and coloured kingdom. It's the worst thing I've created, the abyssal void that swallows each Life. Death is like a cold winter night which lasts for ever and ever, but without a single feeling, just the black chaos flowing in my mind. And when I will be tired of your planet, apocalypse will destroy your world. No Life will be spared, all will be laid waste. Armageddon, annihilation. You will finally get what you call Hell. Devastation of men and nature. I am Death. I am… Death. I'll delight to see your race suppressed by its own creator. Life will be sentenced to Death. Even the ones who swore an oath with me will die dreadfully. But these are the true ones, they worship me and my lust for Death.
[i]III. I am All[/i]
Down on your knees, humans… Yell loud because your fancied God won't save you. Hordes of Demons will announce the Last Judgment, and they'll tell you I am the ruler of All. Then you'll still want to live but you'll die in pain. I was never born, I've always existed, and I'll never disappear. Earth, it is my favourite game, and when this one is finished, when't it's only a dust, I will choose another one. Perhaps the whole Universe. Then I'll re-create Life to crush it again. I am the one who rules each fragment of Life and Death. I am above All because I have created it. Master of Time and Space, the Universe in my hands. Listen, weak humans : I dominate your very soul. So you, true ones, who have heard this cosmic message, spread it on Earth with infernal words ; await the wrath of Satan… I am All. I am… All. Praise the supreme ruler of your soul.
