1. Vor dem Todestore
In die falsche Welt geboren,
Die falsche Zeit auserkoren,
Wo die Kälte feurig ist
Und im Fluß kein Wasser fließt,
Wo vom Himmel Vögel fallen,
Auch die Künstler farblos malen.
Es ist ein Ort voll Leid und Not,
D'rum bleibt für mich auch nur der...
...Eine Funke Hoffnung über,
Auf die Wunde Balsam d'rüber,
Milderung für zwei, drei Stunden,
'Eh die Pein erneut gefunden.
Wer nur wird mich trösten können
Und zugleich mir Freude gönnen?
Wer malt Blut ganz ohne Rot?
D'rum bleibt für mich auch nur der...
...Letzte Funke eines Lebens
Und ist dann auch noch der vergebens,
Weiß ich nichts und sehe nichts,
Hasse die Geburt des Lichts,
Leide täglich, kalt und stumm,
Auf den Lippen bloß "Warum?",
Blicke trüb auf kahle Bäume,
Leb' im Dunkeln meiner Träume.
Erkenn' ich, wie die Zeit verrinnt
Und kein neuer Tag beginnt?
Hab' ich nicht bemerkt das Band,
Das zerschnitten niemand fand?
Hörte ich die Schreie nicht,
Die besorgt ein Mensch erbricht?
Wollte ich nicht wortlos gehen,
Leise meine Qual verwehen?
Hab' ich dabei nicht bedacht,
Dass mich mancher Sarg auslacht?
Weint man jetzt, man geht zur Ruh',
Machet seine Augen zu,
Und eh' man sich erneut empört,
Man schon lang dem Tod gehört.
2. Rest in Terrifying Agony
Emptiness, crushing me,
To live or not to be?
Thy face in my mind beheld,
Thou knowst not, I will rot.
To hell I drag thee, take my word,
Blind man's thought thou hast heard.
Drown'd in thee I crawl and suffer,
My heart like stone is getting tougher.
[Lord, zeitgleich mit unterem]
Bewitch thyself to my wild passion,
Blood-red love is my obsession.
Seek me or I'll seek and kill,
Tied by pain my mind, my will.
Run! Totter! Canst not hide,
No escape, my fading bride.
So close thy eyes and melt away,
Life, love, death canst not betray!
[Lady, gleichzeitig mit oberem]
Blood-red love is thy obsession.
Tied by pain thy mind, thy will.
I run...cannot hide,
No escape, thy fading bride.
I close my eyes...
...And melt away...
-----
I will live without thee,
"Nay" my answer is.
Love I feel not for thee,
Fro' thy darkness in the rain I flee.
Good-bye, my Lord, I leave now,
I leave now, dusk hath come.
My eyes! To sleep I wish...
By silence is my castle wall'd,
Dusty bones thy fate foretold,
When thou com'st in foggy night,
When thou see'st my candle's light.
A gentle knock on wooden door,
Thou dost not know the midnight gore,
Following a tender light,
Imprison'd by my blacken'd might.
The bell tolls twelve and I appear,
Close thy eyes, Red Death is near.
Vampiric lust to be thy end,
'To the grave I wilt thee send.
With sharp teeth I bite thee soft,
Thou canst see a bat aloft,
Flying lonesome towers by,
Night embraceth thy last cry.
Through thy blood I gained new life,
Ay, thou wast my pretty wife.
Nocturnal maid, thou art no more,
Thou didst not know the midnight gore.
Rest in terrifying agony!
3. The Black Crusade
By light we rule this world, empire of happiness.
A stately castle not wall'd, thou wilt confess
Roses of love, birds of joy thy heart do fill with life.
We love and hope, believing in the goodness of thee.
Fairies enchanting heaven above, a canvas
'Tis, huéd like stars, golden fate o' luck.
"Queen thou art, belov'd, ador'd" they say,
My men hold the earth fro' thee away.
[Lord, zeitgleich mit unterem]
Light to dusk...thou to dust...
...Dusk darkens thee...
...In a world without light, thou canst not be blinded...
...Thy light will be extinguished...
...Hush, my dearest Queen!
[Lady, gleichzeitig mit oberem]
...Light to thee, light...
...Light guideth thee well...
...Thou canst see the sun...
...The joyful sun...
-----
Creatures of Darkness - Attack!!!
By darkness we conquer, empire of Death,
A dreadful ruin, embrac'd by frozen breath.
Roses o' hate, o'ergroth o' pain souls do gall.
We kill and mourn not, destroying thee!
Dark creatures o' hell seek cold blood,
I paint the earth black, 'tis fate and lo!
Seraphic kingdoms fall, thou wilt find
Our blacken'd banner, we slaughter mankind.
4. Mondscheinzauber
Lebender Tod,
Verdammte der Zeit,
Ernähr'n uns von Leid,
Von Angst und von Not.
Soll'n wir uns erlösen im Soge der Lust?
Und töten somit jeglichen Frust?
Lachend noch feiern wir die Geburt,
Fester schnürt zu sich der eiserne Gurt
Des Todes, des Todes, ein Wahn ohne Halt...
Sorgloser Kummer, Leid ohne Gestalt.
Distanz der Zeit! Wir müssen uns finden
Unter den Linden und Trauerweiden,
Die morbide den Tod beneiden,
Atmend die Ewigkeit unserer Leben...
Nehmt Euch nur meines, ich will 's Euch geben!
Alles ist unser...auf ewiglich...
...Finale Stunde, wir lieben dich.
Alles ist unser, alles und nichts.
Laßt uns beschwören den Tode des Lichts.
Die Nacht erwacht, die Kerze brennt,
Der Mond uns're Namen nennt.
Feuchte Tränen spiegeln wider
Des Friehofs kühle, düst're Lieder.
Ein Hauch des Todes küßt uns zart,
Liebkost von seiner Gegenwart.
Allein und doch in Zweisamkeit,
Stunden voller Traurigkeit,
Ergriffen von des Schicksals Hand
Der Tod in uns're Herzen fand.
Kerzenschein am Grab der Zeit,
Verführt von kalter Einsamkeit.
Die Sehnsucht trauert in C Moll,
Die Nacht erwacht, der Mond ist voll.
So laßt mich sein dann Eure Braut,
Ehe uns der Morgen graut.
Nehmt meine Hand, zieht mich hinab
In Eure Schlucht der Phantasie,
In Euren dunklen Augen döst
Geheimnisvoll Melancholie.
Mondscheinzauber...wie gebannt,
Die Seele ihren Körper fand.
Erlösung durch die Macht der Nacht,
Entfacht ein Feuer, schwarze Pracht.
5. Master of Darkness
Thou canst shiver, thou canst cry...but of thy world, nothing wilt be left...nothing!
Eternal darkness kills the light,
His morbid might arose at night...
...Ready to fight...to kill...
Tear the light he will...
The sun is now cold as Death,
Enjoy this last, this final breath.
Say thy prayer, mindless player
In a fatal game.
Master, Master, raise the dark...
Master of Darkness!
Darkness killed the light.
Master's fist is tight.
Painful is his tool,
You blinded, puny fool.
Thy last hour...hear the bell,
Thy last hour...toll o' knell.
Darkness...without grace!
Despair...in thy face!
Master, Master, raise the dark...
Master of Darkness!
The Solar Eclipse was a first sign of the arrival
Of the Master of Darkness...
...And next time he descends from his throne...
...It...will last...
...Forever!
Ay, thy fate is sealed!
6. Deatherotica
As the poet painteth silent, mystic worlds,
A coach push'd aside the veils of this bright fullmoon night.
In this coach, two hearts do sit, empty to the bone,
A Lady and a Lord so sad. Alas! They were alone!
"Enter Lady, enter Lord" doth the pen then carve
Into tombstones, ancient walls.
Wilt they dance in passion's halls?
O! Their hearts like arid brooks painfully did starve.
"Come hither" quoth the Lord "wherefore not play the fiddle?!
With no try ne'er did a hero solve the riddle!"
Thy words art cheeky, thou in haste, I calmly deem, my Lord,
But still I stand beside thee here, prepar'd to draw my sword.
[Lord, zeitgleich mit unterem]
Thy weeping dress of splendid yarn, enticing blacken'd silk:
It stroketh softly, magically thy pale skin white like milk.
If beauty were a vassal, dear, to tilt thou would be arm'd,
Thy tearful glare like daggers once my weaken'd heart hath harm'd.
Dark Princess, thou hast me enslav'd, thy snake in me doth hiss,
On my knees I creep, I beg and still wait for a kiss.
Mystic eyes enbloom'd in me the tendermost black flower,
Grant me love and soothe my pain, I bow unto thy power!
[Lady, gleichzeitig mit oberem]
O! Beyond the stars we flew in my phantasy
But the magic mirror spoke: "Then they dead wilt be."
Ay, I suffer like thou dost, I miss love like thee,
Yet the mirror cleary did my demise foresee.
Why woest me thou? Into the grave soon thou willt me lay,
Once we've nipped this vintage wine, we then are so fey.
My despair, it makes me do what thy Lordship wilt
Having tasted thy sweet drink, I shall drown in guilt.
-----
Be no longer mortal dolts...
Let us start the wedding waltz!
Moistened lips and volcanos of lust,
Fragile bodies dance shivering fast.
Vampiric spell! Sharp teeth taste new flesh,
Desire burns wildly their hunger to ash.
Climaxeth their waltz, the gate open'd wide,
Blood carasseth the breasts of the bride.
The halls shake slowly and melt then to bricks,
The Mistress her wounds and the dying Lord licks.
Two twirling lovers in ballet of tears,
The poet, now groaning, their sudden end fears.
Their tongues met in meadows
Of lust, casting shadows
Of Death, passing by
Immortal last cry!
Lo! It is over, they fall to the ground,
Next day two corpses, embracing, were found.
A single black coffin ceased their red run,
Eternally 'gether, together as one.
7. Escape to Eternity
Requiem of Death inside
Thy humble soul, thy twitching heart.
Tell me, Lord, what is thy guide
That makes thee want me to depart?
By the 13 ghosts I am bewitch'd...
'Twixt eternal smoke, the spirit's flame...
O final fame, o senseless shame.
Thou art ashamed, my Lord?
'Tis so, my Lady, ay!
The me cannot deny
My pain and my grief,
A cover is a leaf
For cold and dying worms,
For claustrophobic moles,
Imprison'd bodies, souls.
O darkness guides me well,
To heaven not! To hell?
Hell? A place to live,
To be freed from grief?
A place cannot be free... / There thou will not be free,
In nothingness seek me! / Can't bear seeking thee...
O Lord, do not pass away...
Myself hath come so close
To the dirge o' rose,
Which no water feeds,
Being crush'd by weeds.
Joy me then and share my pain!
Death's not wild but it's tame...
Tame as thou canst see...
...I wilt follow thee...
Thy greatest words have pass'd thy lips.
Escape from life, a life that whips
An old and leaveless tree!
I wilt follow thee
And my tears I take with me...
...Forever free, forever free...
8. The Fatal Kiss of Time
Pass away, time's fatal kiss,
My blood doth clot, my body rot.
Dark and dreadful shadows blur
Distorted sight, my mind's might.
Embrac'd by eternity,
Painful-sweet anxiety
Hath reached the mountain of despair,
Of death and cold, poison'd air.
Darkness taketh me by hand,
Vanish'd to a mournful land.
Silent tears desire feed,
Frozen thoughts o' frozen greed,
Dust to cover, passionate night,
Redeem'd the pain of dreary fight,
Close pale eyes, faded chest
As I lay myself to rest.
No more need to sigh and cry, / O my Lord! Please...do not...
Death hath kissed my life good-bye. / ...Pass away...
...Thou canst not leave me...
...In this hour of darkness...
...My Lord...I love thee...my Lord...
