1. Night Omen
Deep down at the midnight of soul
I awakened to find myself all alone
Struggling between the wet sheets
I've been dying in the midpoint of reality - and dream -
My heart it pounds by the vision I've seen
And I truthfully hope it was merely a dream
That the gods ain't showing an omen to me
Holding the key to my destiny
A ship without hope caught by the sea storm
A seaman's curse, nature rears its ugly side
And onto the deck, she's but a girl
Unfair fate, she's to die a nasty death
Torrent of darkness, showering despair
The crackling of thunder, the waves take her under
Below she
Gasps for air
Life soulless dolls, sailors fall to the sea
Their cries over silenced by the bowling winds
They meet a merciless watery doom
Tomorrow I travel; will I end up doomed, too?
In my journeys I've traveled in paths yet unknown
As I am a man, who calls no place home
Even if the end lies so near I know
I won't give in to fear
In the night I go, to pay homage
To the Goddess of the sea, the bitch Queen Umberlee
The shrine has been built there since years
To let a seaman get rid of his fears
There is a need for such a wicked belief
To praise the Queen, to quench all her anger
As anyone who ventures to her domain
Puts his life in her hands
2. To the Shrine
3. The Drowning
A hundred years before my story did unfold
What I saw in dreams was happening for real
A vessel hits the waves, the journey is in vein
A fate that no one wants to sing
Among the crew she stands so pale
Natassa, thy beloved one
She's to share the fate of all the males
And as days passed by in waters calm
Showing no sign of what's to come
A storm was brewing to the north
The rage of sea come forth
There came storm clouds black
The waters darkened, oh so fast
As instant they were caught
In the middle of a fierce sea storm
All in the ship was shivering
Knowing not what was happening
And only she could really see
And stared in awe the figure near
A woman dressed in jellyfish
With eyes like pearls, and hair like seaweed
Like garments she wore seals
From seashell were her fingernails
The huge form near the ship
Laughs in delight
The girl stands petrified
Meaningless the efforts of all aboard
As she knows the source of the storm
A female voice echoes in the girls mind
Asking her now to dive
Accept the waters cold embrace
To have one last chance to change her fate
In agony the choice is made
The girl is thrown into the waves
To be one with the creatures of the sea
From this moment and eternally
And she did drown but did not die
Choosing to sit by the Goddesses side
Promising to take the pain of loss away
Such strange the games God's play
4. Queen of the Deep
An aeon passed since her lungs turned to quills
The passing of time had her childish wombs heated
Like the Goddess she praised she began to seem
And she was baptized the queen of the deep
All of the sea creatures bowed and loved her
As she was the chosen of the sea mother
She played with the dolphin and danced with the eel
Hung with the whale, and ridded the seal
Promised to guard her endless domain
To keep this blue land ever the same
Gifted with powers to mortals unknown
And the passing of time would not take its toll
Eternal glory that's promised to her
In ancient underwater ruins she dwells
Atlantean memories forever tied there
Brought down by time and a goddess unfair
5. En Oria
What loneliness crawled in her heart like a snake
She chose the best man of shipwreck to take
And with a kiss, she never gave the choice that she had
To take her lover below, so sad to know
That when they part he will die
Queen of the deep with a kiss you save
A drowning man from his fate
Queen of the deep with the coldest blood
I know I'll drown when we'll part
Then a day the goddess appeared to her
To assign a task to rid of a curse
In the abyss lies a rift to the worlds
And from the abyss the lord of chaos will come
And the law of land, sea and air
Shall be lost, it must be stopped
Queen of the deep I've seen you in my dreams
I should have never come your way
Queen of the deep now our fates will join
As I ignored the omen
Umberlee has decided
And so my vessels sunk
And all were drowned, but one
The choice of a hero is done
Her eyes shone in her shining face
As she kissed me again in a cold embrace
My last gift was given to me
Making love to the queen of the sea
And as the yarn of my fates unfolds
Now, I know the abyss has a woman's soul
Now that my fate is shown to me
I know I will fight in the deepest abyss
A creature crawling from the outer world
To give time to be the sea-witch to save us all
To complete the spell that will close the rift
And seal it for a thousand years
With this quest in mind we moved
To win or to witness our doom
6. Enter the Rift of Chaos
A water current carries us in haste
With the speed of a maelstrom
Our only light created by the glowing seas
As we advance to the unknown
Know, the abyss is here
Feel the tight grip of fear
As the creature draws near
See, enthralling light glowing
Now, the portal is opening
The stars decide: The rift is complete
One time in a thousand years
To reveal the true force of chaos
A formless thing a blasphemy
A thousand tentacles
With a thousand eyes
All crawling to reach us
My hands have a light grip of my sword
Now, there's no more fear
Just a heightened sense of things
The priestess behind me
With silent spells she calls her queen
Umberlee, the dark mistress of the sea
To aid us against what would undone reality
My magic sword slashing left and right
Chopping tentacles in two
And green blood flows
But it is a matter of time till I'm caught
The eyes spinning, it is painful to look at
As are the lost souls of mortals
Staring in eternal horror and agony
The lord of chaos is trying to make me lose
What remains of my sanity
But I rage and slash and back again
As a tentacle grabs my leg
I feel the pain - but I still fight
I'll teach this thing how mortals fight
And now a mortal bravely dies
Before it holds my soul
At the time my sword arm is caught
And I paralyze, soon to be lost
The waters shake, the spell is complete
7. Final Redemption
Finally this battle came to an end
A fight no mortal could hope to win
As I am caught by the cold grip
But yet is there a hope
The deep is trembling
And I even feel a moan from the chaos thing
I look from the corner of my eyes
That the priestess is in her prime
Her hands unleash a shinning pearl
An a water current hurls it
Upon the bloated skin
Of the chaos lord
I feel the thing cursing
As the portal is fading
Forcing it to withdraw
Back to its hateful world
Water swirls all around
In a great mad storm
And all blackens for me
As I loose my consciousness
The demon sinks as we float above
And far away from the abyss
Defeated, doomed to try again
After a thousand years
When I open my eyes
She holds me in her arms
And I still lay floating
Paralyzed from the fight
Her eyes gleam softly
And I know somewhere
Deep inside there's much sadness
She hasn't felt for year
Then she gives me
The choice that she had to follow
But I deny
I know already by the look in her eyes
My life has ended
With a kiss she takes my final breath
She ends the spell, this story I won't live to tell
My last picture; she floats in shining waters
As I sink in welcoming darkness
8. Aura
9. Stella Tenebrarum
10. Crucify Him
Holy whore of mortal delights
Fucked upon the holy light
Given birth to bastard's son
For the loss of evil born
Raised to preach, raised to lie
Raised to suffer, raised to die
Jesus named this jewish fault
Christian order then was born
Wicked slaves of nazarene
Time shall come to slay, believe...
Beyond endurance, a flock of sheeps
No sanctity just human salacity
Dispatch the mass, burn them within
Make them suffer, make them bleed
On this moonless night were all angels at grief
We shall rise, believe...
In this path you have chosen
In this path shall be fallen...
And I stand and watch you bleed
For the sins of he and she
And I stand and watch you suffer
From the torment of nemesis
Abandoned by your heathen father
I spill your blood as wine
Befallen... Tormented...
11. Lunar Innuendo
What have I become, what remains of me;
The feeble light of dawn, scorching my skin
Cast! Cast your gaze away, there's nothing here to see
A crumbling ruin of hopes, a rotting pile of dreams
Like a stalking hawk, that looks the prey in pride
My watchtower solid stood, in Black Adamantine
The moon did answer true, my oathing for the night
Everlasting duty, unaltered in time
Oh, spinning wheel of fate
Each man's soul is put to blade
Put to the test
For the wicked, there's no rest
"You knew what I was, you see what I am
Change me... change me"
Now I crawl in the ruins of what was my life
Drowned in my blood, I thrive in my strife
The roaring God's thunder, its echoes still
My throne has become my burial mound
Slain by the arrow, a pawn sacrificed
Not dead, but the chasm to life is so wide
Forgotten, betrayed, disgraced and unhallowed
I wait for the end of a season so shallow
My essence is trapped in the midworld of dreams
A nightmare existence, the multiverse grims
A silent observer I watch from above
The feast of the worms, and my skeleton mould
So, drink the red liquor from chalices raised
A toast to the ones that were stricken by fate
Even though from my birth I was doomed to this fall
Lord, I am awaiting to answer your call�
12. Perdo Corporem
Perish, perish, perish you will
As you'll fall by my iron tower of will
Storming my thoughts are flying
My mind is hunting in the night
I need no arms, no hands, to make you sigh
You will never see the light of day...
Slain you fall by the grimness of my very being
Present your bleeding soul, to satisfy my master
I serve and be one with Him
You own to us
I claim your soul - your life's forfeit
Let me carry you on black wings
Above the lake of fire
Crawl slave, on your knees
Now, learn why you fear the night
Woe to you, larva of hell
The dark angel is before you
You can only admire, my greatness of Rank
You can only admire my wings of a bat
My face of a skull
Two pinpoint of lightning
Replacing my eyes
Tormenting your soul
Down to the pit
We devour
Tormenting your soul
Ultimate revenge
Glorious vengeance
Sweet hate
Praise evil
You can only admire
These blood-stained well earned wings
That stood fast and loyal
13. The Gates
14. Black Holy War
