1. Darkness Breeds Immortality
An angel in ecstasy crosses the sky
The sky shines brighter than bright
From the ground in the shadow we watch it fly
Summoning darkness and might
An angel so terrified falls from the sky
The sky turns blacker than black
I hear an angel in vain screaming "why"?
As the rain welcomes us back
Now when the angel fell from the sky
Our eyes with blackness will burn
We reach our hands to the clouds up high
And whisper - "This is our return"
Sunlight has failed
Dark is the sky
The feeble sun no longer shine
When the night is over still black in the sky
Before our eyes the fading sun bleed
Fire is now roaring over sky
The arrival
Now when the angel fell from the sky
Our eyes with blackness will burn
We reach our hands to the clouds up high
And whisper - "this is our return"
We mock the light and towards the shadows
We are drawn into the darkness
We silently died
2. Those of the Unlight
The nine
Blasting through the earth as a storm
Spreading their dark coldness
Evolved into creatures that existed at the edge
At the edge of this world and the realm of the shadows
Resisting death, yet unable to die
Magically clung to life
Forever dying but never dead
The nine - Those of the unlight
Frozen on the very brink's of death
Enslaved by the dark lord
Forever dying but never dead
The nine - Those of the unlight
A shadow of the great evil that prolonged his existence
A shadow creature - forever dying but never dead
3. Wolves
Wolves
Many miles they went
To reach this point
They went here to seek what they lost
What they lost before time
Before the first rays of light
In the worst torment of all
Despair
They dedicated their existence to follow
To explore
And how they searched
Eternity, darkness, the black
They ware only a piece
Of the complete puzzle
They the warriors they were
In a never ending maze of
Confusion
The life they so intensively hated
Wolves so many lifetimes they
Went to reach this point
And yet so many lifetimes to go
Eternity, darkness, the black
They ware only a piece of the
Complete puzzle
They - the warriors they were
In a never ending maze of confusion
4. On Darkened Wings
Ride now on fast horses
With swords drawn let steel meet steel
Swords shall sing
And shields will lay broken
Warrior's shields met
And many weapons broke
Many met death
But that's a part of the process
The sky is filled with red
Of the fallen's blood
Perdition, damnation cries my soul
To burn in hell is now my only goal
So once again we meet
Look into our eyes, look deep
In the sky that is our mind
The dark clouds are gathering
As our hate unites with our soul
Rising our hands
The renewal has begun
Since long time ago
Faded spirits
Screams with scorn
Rising fro mthe soul
As a united force
Carried by darkened wings
Dark through time
To open the door
To the blackened place of rest
Rising
To once spread his darkened wings
5. Burn My Coffin
The blood inside my veins is poisoned by funerals and dreams
The beauty of life crushed
Death is the life and destiny
The night so dark and everlasting
Where death and pain remains
Burn my coffin - release the soul
Burn my coffin - unveil the shadow
Black candles burn tonight
As my soul begins it's flight
As the veil of Darkness lowers it's shadow
I travel through the night
Burn my coffin...
The first rays of dawn came misbathed in red
As the rays of the sun to the soil were wed
In the early dawn I gazed for tomorrow
But my heart and souls was burned with sorrow
6. A Sculpture of the Night
Within night infinity I slowly drift
Over the plains
Desolation...
I gaze, time does not exist gere
But endless, eternal, me
A sculpture of the night I am
Nump...yet I fly...to explore...what is built
Out of hate
A king of this world I am
Thronebearer of hate
With clear sight I see it
Even though it's dark
For me it is always
Sunlight cannot touch me
Neither it reaches my mind
Still I can reach it to consume
I am the face of wisdom
The punishment, damnation
The shadow I am, the wideopen eye
Growing mightier
A sculpture of the night
Brought to rule the neverending
I slowly drift...night...infinity
As the shadows grows
7. Echoes from the Past
=instrumental=
8. Stone Stands Its Silent Vigil
Early morning, mist fills the air
Yet no sign of the sun
The landscape lies dark and lonely
Forgotten by time
A dark wind sweeps over the desolated land
Sunless days in the dark of winter
They have seen it all
Since the dawn of this age
Stone stands it silent vigil
In the lands of frost
All life is dead and lost
Frozen into a lifeless statue
Well preserved but quite dead
