2. The Birth of Psychic Energies
Awakening
A renewal of conscious vibrations
Portals into the future
Inhibitions and instincts
My intuition is finely tuned
To fortell a hidden destiny
I shall guide you on your pathway
Give life to your craved fantasy
Your life is in my hands
So much control you yield
Fuck you weak humans, I don't need you
I don't need your problems to listen to
Who cares what the tarot cards say
I'm just going to lie to you anyway
Kill yourself
Kill yourself
Kill yourselves
Kill yourself
I don't care about you!
3. A Depraved Indifference to Human Life
The effervescent waves of life
The sorrows of passion and strife
Philosophical preponderancies
The view of neverending despondencies
I see the world in its true roots
Under an evergreen I contemplate complexity
Rational and sincere observations
Lifelong permeating dexterity
The dull and grey... Weary modern life
The disjointed ways of our emotions
Abound by drained human entities
Sucked dry by wanton devotions
Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity
The swaying tress dance in the wind
Misanthropy is so just
Our metal cages aged with rust
Our ashes lain to somber dust
Feel the stormwinds start to gust
Pathetic lives are waste
Chosen paths in haste
Wretched species exist
My hatred persists
This massacred world
We are maggots on this earth
I thrive on violence and murder
We are overrun
By ignorance and weakness
Death to the human race
Misanthropy is so just
Our metal cages aged with rust
Pathetic lives of waste
My hatred persists
4. Headbanging Maniac
Headbanging maniac
Strike you like a heart attack
Metal onslaught has begun
Cannot hide, cannot run
Power Black Speed Death
Power Black Speed Death Metal
Thrash!
Power Metal
Black Metal
Speed Metal
Death Metal
I live for metal
It runs in my veins
The visions in my mind
(repeat 1st verse)
5. Tantric Lunar Slumber
Oh, can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Oh, feel it
Haven't you ever just lied back and stared into the moon?
Haven't you ever lied there with yourself down under the stars and just stared at them?
Feel the moon's rays soak into your body...
Haven't you ever felt that before?
You must experience it at least once in a lifetime
Oh, feel the ancient powers soaking into your body
The chakras of the body, soak them with power
6. When Emotional Nirvana Deluges You
I want no feelings
I want no emotion
Cursed with feelings
Cursed with emotion
I feel nothing...
What... is... love?
Love... is... pain
There is no happiness in love
Not that I have found
Love is pain, pain is love
Temporary ecstasy, everlasting sorrow
Everlasting sorrow
Dwelling on circles of lost hope
Reflecting on time's past travels
Like the spots on a leopard
My happiness is scattered
Sorrow is my pleasure
Emotion is my weakness
Dancing to the beat of my heart
Torn apart by my quest for union
I'm fading away from all emotions
Separating from all
Dissension into my own self
7. Strike Down Mythographer
The stelliform shape upon the wall
Devoted to death instinct
Baneful towards iconographic outliers
Debauchery for kerygmatic extinction
Condemnation of the priestcraft
Iniquitious rebellion against the flock
I bow not to injudicity
Exhaust their last centenary
We, who are the few
Who seek our truth
Mercykill the martyr
Bathing in masochism
The guiltless being that I am
Transcends above the mist
That's waking life
Fantasy must play its roll
Indulge, do not resist
Afflict the ones with strife
(repeat verse 3)
Sacrilege
Self-absorption
Imperator
Strike down mythographer
Collector of bastardized tales
Collector of bastardized tales
Collector of bastardized tales
Collector of bastardized tales
Fuck the holy Bible!!
8. Grim Vendetta
"daed eht fo
sreraeb eht
emoc yeht hcram duorp rieht no, dloheb
daert derusaem dna wols dna
murd delffum dna galf gnipoord htiw"
When I am cold and in the grave
And my flesh doth rot
Yet beyond I do transcend
And vengeance shall be wrought
I shall strike thee from the grave
Mortal enemies remember me
I will haunt you after death
And torment you to your grave...
9. Mesmerising Serenades
Contradiction
Strength and weakness
Focus is strength
Emotion is weakness
I focus on my darkness
I let the moon carry me away
Into astral lakes of mesmerising serenades
Through candlelit halls I float
Then my emotions drag me down
Into this mortal world of flesh
Where union binds me to pain
Slowly I am awakening to my own truth
There is contradiction in paradise
Strength and weakness
Focus is strength
Emotion is weakness
What is this thing we call love?
Crushed by the weight of my heart
Crushed by the words of the chosen
Whose pleasure is their pathetic games!
She who has tamed the beast
Is the muse of my inspiration
Gone forever are my grips on destiny
And now my path leads to my own isolation
The stars have written in my eyes
The words I have cursed her with...
And rejection is too pleasurable
For my masochism
10. Under Closed Eyelids
Under closed eyelids
Worlds do unfold
Cosmic colors fill my vision field
Purple kaleidoscopes yield ecstasy
Optical fantasy
A subconscious movie screen
Seeing the images of an inside universe
I am the god and the images are mine
Create and destroy, learn and create
Desire to become conscious in that state
Swirling patterns and turning spheres
Vibrant explosions and clouds of colour
Shapeless forms running in circles
Sailing through the midnight air
Thoughts float over the falls
Swishing under the bubbling waves
Familiar faces coming and going
Recognition is only half of the knowing
Fly into the blueing sky...
Control-domination-persistency
There's no such thing as reality
Nobody is going to know the answer
The fear of death has created cancer
You are your own saviour
You are your own god
Appear to yourself and meditate
Apparent death will be your fate
Under closed eyelids what do you see?
If you see nothing, then you don't know me
Imaginatory creativity, subconscious surreality
Enter into R.E.M.
Wake to recite the dream again
Smoke filled rooms await the dawn
When the pioneers are gone
Lost amidst the oak filled forest
Frozen in the winter's frost
Stand in the soothing sunflake rays
Burn your retinas for days
Eyes so blind you cannot hear
When will come the final year
The planets all will soon collide
Our galaxy will no longer preside
Other
Stars
Will breathe
New life...
What goes on
Under closed eyelids...
11. Solar Flare
12. A Corpse Without a Soul (Mercyful Fate cover)
Listen!, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse without soul
Satan!, he's taken, he's taken, he's taken his toll
...and he took it out on me
I!, I'm trapped, I'm trapped, I'm trapped in his spell
Tonight!, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going to Hell
...inside his spell
I was walking down amoung the graves
I heard a cry, my shadow was gone
Emptiness in my body, I felt so alone
Small black wings on my naked back
Now guess what I saw on one of the stones
I saw my soul in a magical haze
It was all dressed up, it was a corpse in a wedding dress
Small black wings on my naked back
Now hear my prayer, beggin' for mercy, I'm just living to die
Listen!, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse without soul
Satan!, he's taken, he's taken, he's taken his toll
...and he took it out on me
I!, I'm trapped, I'm trapped, I'm trapped in his spell
Tonight!, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going to Hell
...inside his spell
Satan has taken his... toll!
13. Floating Weightless Down a Spiral Staircase
