1. Fenris
Fenris... your nightshade falls over this frozen waste
Bloodred eyes like deep oceans of eternal night
Like mirrors of thy soulless hate and endless sin
This sign is for the night to unfurl and our swords to be wet
An angel in black, his mooncold eyes enchant my soul
Riding a wind with whirlwinds of fire blazing through the sky
The ravens cry, they've gathered this night to praise their king
And the wolves revel in the blood of the blessed ones child
Blacksoul... nightshade
A plaguewinter of death unfurls
And from the north comes the plague
So the winter was brought forth this night
A holocaust had seen its dawn
I laugh as I raise my sword and behold the war
A vision of chaos riding on death's black wings
At last all servants of light were weeping in blood
For seen was the king who shall rule for all time
2. The Forlorn
Through the portal of forever frozen tears
This eve I'll ride with the sunset's flame
And forever I'll fly with the autumn wind
A raven whispered these words in my ear
"Be one with the moonlight, the night and the storm
Hunt with wolves through forests of shades
And rule from the throne of spirits insane"
As a dancing mist in the autumn night
Can you feel my hunger, hear my cries?
This eve I'll ride the sunset's flame
Forever to fly with this autumn wind
I'll ride this wind forever now
For this night was...
Like an angel crowned in thorns so beautiful
And it seemed eternal
A vision of sorrow riding forth
On the coldest of winds
Under the weeping sky
It all seemed so forlorn
3. With Shadow Wings
( [B] = Sung by Fredrik Jacobsson (aka. Beretorn), [V] = Sung by Marcus Norman (aka. Vargher) )
[B] - I have seen the kingdom vile
Where flames scorch the blackened sky
I saw this land of freezing dreams
In my dreams I flew with shadow wings
[B] - And I have seen a king arise
He rode in flames throughout the sky
This was a forsooth the one fortold
His face was veiled in dust and rime
[B] - I saw this vision
In my dreams
Where the fallen seems to rise again
Onthrough the night
I saw him ride
He owned the sky
and his pride burned bright
[B] - And the dragon - whispered cold
Like a wind from the north
He opened gates - since aeons closed
And told me when twilight shall come
[B] - I have seen the kingdom vile
Where flames scorch the blackened sky
I saw this land of freezing dreams
In my dreams I flew with shadow wings
[B] - And I have seen a king arise
He rode in flames throughout the sky
This was a forsooth the one fortold
His face was veiled in dust and rime
[B] - This night of mourning winds
The serpent spread his wings
His eyes shone like the moon
"Be on with me", he droned
[B] - And through this forlorn night
A choir of doom was heard
The dragon rode the wind
And I was one with him
[B] - With shadow wings - I rule the sky
For aeons 'til eternity
I'll break the world and challange god
My sword is hunger, plauge and sin
[B] - I knew my fate was written in the flames
Of the sky, in the fire of his eyes
In the flames of the dragon's burning eyes
The vision was crystal clear
[B] - And yes, I felt the winds
The winds of time, for me they blew cold
[B] - And the dragon rode these winds
He flew through time, with shadow wings
4. On Twilight Enthroned
I saw the night undressed, naked and beauiful
As the rain slowly wet my face
I felt the wind of lost ages blow
And I will ride this forlorn wind
Through skies eternally black
With shadow wings through the night
For sunlight burns my flesh to ash
Take me twilight, enchant me
Take my soul and unveil thee
This my love and only bride
The dying eve, the naked night
I'm one with this for all time now
And with my kiss so are you
A moonlight throne is yours tonight
Forsaken now for... eternity
I could take this world and crush it in my hands
I could slit the throats of all your fuckn' gods
As a shadow of eternity far beyond mortality
I have drained the ancients blood and drunk
your warm red wine
For so long... so very long
I am the reaper of your dreams
I have seen the old gods die
I've heared their grim lament
And sunlight never touched my eyes
To twilight I am damned
And this night of nephilim
I'm damned and i'm beyond sin
I'm at one with angels lost
On twilight enthroned
5. Where Veils of Grief Are Dancing Slow
( [B] = Sung by Fredrik Jacobsson (aka. Beretorn), [V] = Sung by Marcus Norman (aka. Vargher) )
[B] - A silent night in autumn mist
The soundless chants holds the key
A gate was opened as in my dreams
I leave this world far behind -/
[B] - Where grief is kissing the darkest light
Where shadows haunt in this endless night
The throne stands there so alone in might
Where veils of grief are dancing slow
[V] - Why!?
[V] - Like an angel with shadow wings
I soared through the freezing sky
I rode the storm, I rode it's wrath
And I kissed the wind of forlorn tears
[B] - I kneeled before
[V] - The sorrowed sky
[B] - No one else [V] - had seen what I had seen
[B] - I cry as I [V] - enter the [B] - dancing veils [V] - and the dreaming souls
[B] - Ahhh ahhh ahhh
[B] - Through this autumn night
I descend beyond all light
And kiss the spirit flame
So close? The Spirit flame...
And like the statues,
the forlorn souls,
alla was so silent
I was so alone
So alone
So cold...
6. Let Blood Paint the Ground
Distant cry
As an ageless droning voice
Sung glory and victory
For a new age soon to come
Sunset
Tear a hole in the weeping sky
Like a dream forlorn to come
Let blood paint the ground
As choirs of twilight sing
And angels cry
As choirs of twilight mourn
And ages die
And so it shalt be told
"In ages gone, a crying god
Had tasted defeat at last"
And this world was cleansed
Let blood paint the ground
No goddamn light
A new age comes with pain
And the wind that came was clean
Like a new god it came forth
Burning
Scorching this damned soil
Like a holocaust of souls
Let blood drown the ground
As a fuckin' god I entered the gate
As the first born of the master race
Mine were the halls of kingly pride
In burning skies I've seen my fate
As choirs of twilight sing
And angels cry
As choirs of twilight mourn
And ages die
7. Blackthorn Crown
This wintercold and forlorn night
Under the bloodmoons cold light
I walked a path unseen for eyes
Whilst choirs of doom sang my praise
The moonlight mirrored the light in my eyes
Nocturnal starwinds blow from the sky
I'll meet the spirits of all those who died
I'll return with wisdom from forgotten kings
Come walk under my shadow
where black fires burn
I'll bless you with plague
and eternal disease
For i've kissed the lips of the countess of sin
I am to be the last of all kings
For I was the blackeyed one
With hunger in my eyes
And only I could see through
And beyond the cursed sky
I've eaten the hearts of the oldest drakes
Wisdom of old gods is granted to me
I've seen the abyss, the might in it's kings
My kingdom is endless, eternal in might
8. Black Sabbath (Black Sabbath cover)
( [B] = Sung by Fredrik Jacobsson (aka. Beretorn), [V] = Sung by Marcus Norman (aka. Vargher) )
[B] - Aooaahh
[V] - What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick, and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one - Oh no!
[V] - Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there, he's smiling
Watch those flames get higher and higher
Ohh ohh ohh ohh oh ahh ahhh!!! [The original lastline on this verse was skipped by ToA, it goes like this: Oh no, no, please God help me!]
[The whole third verse was also skipped by ToA, it goes like this:
Child cries out for his mother
Mother's screaming in the fire
Satan points at me again
Opens the door to push me in
Oh No!]
[B] - This is the end my friend
Satan's coming 'round the bend
people running 'cause they're scared
You people better go and beware!
No! No! Please! No!
