1. Empire Of Engara
2. Beyond The Shores
Before the seas I stand
Recalling thoughts of old
Drenched in the breaking waves
Upon these shores of cold...of cold
Thru the mist of silhouette of Charon emerges
His hand outstretched to take this my meager penance
Transport this shell of death to the netherworlds beyond
Brought home to serve now that my earthly time is done
Freed from the skin that once entrapped my spiritual being
My time is done
Thru the glowing lands which bear the tree and fruit forbidden
Pleasures to man, which for his sake shall now remain hidden
Beyond the mountains and across farthest reaching seas
I shall seek the ones who've made this journey long before me
My time is done, here for me
3. Envy Of The Seraph
Blood riddled pages by candlelight I read
Blasphemous verses of sinful needs
Drawing me away from my heavenly ties
Replacing my though with beautiful cries
Calling to me from high rocks below
The time has arrived
We shall now take the throne
I will take their souls and kill all mortals
Plagued by envy in me
He once was king
A prize more pure than gold
A gift but not for me
Taking our places before this weak man
We shall nevermore bow below his right hand
Storming the heavens reclaiming what's ours
With the blessings of the night, his weak soul is devoured
Our return to the throne is reality this night
I shall now rule these lands with an absense of light
I will take your souls from you
Unforseen by the God, the king, the Jew
Deceived by me (in the name of Christ)
And I'll take back their fucking souls
4. To Return The Crimson Skies
Darkening crimson skies hear my tormented please
That force themselves to make their presence known
Sweep over me and fill my body
With your contempt and despise for humanity
O spirit of the night, don't abandon me
Take my soul to its final resting place
Where I shall await.
Ride upon the mist of the eve
With the howling winds in the trees
Give to the blessings of the gods
Give me the ancient's knowledge
Bring forth the beast with burning eyes
Deliver me to tranquil skies
Take my soul and run with it
Forever in spirit next to me
Upon the mist I ride and seek the lands in which I've known
Forever searching in the skies for now I am alone
I bow to those who seek this help this quest for endless youth
And aid me in the calling, for alone shall speak the truth
Before the altar of stone I stand to call upon the gods
Their infernal names invoked with fire and true nocturnal love
Their ghastly forms in smoke above the ring of fire
Forever serving to the lords immortality I desire
Searching on and forging thru dark and misty lands
Seeking the truthful and destroying mortal man
Gathering strength to return the gods to their rightful throne
They're forged in a battle for in battle I'm alone.
