1. Where the Serpents Ever Dwell
Enthrone thy sacred soul
to enter the lands of mist
Invoke the path
of gathered stars at night
pre.ch.:
Binding conjurations
in the circle on the top of the hill
Face the crown of history
that is older than time
Break the seal and vanquish your
vague imagination
Open the gates
and the entire life is found behind
ch.:
The memory of your name will be carved
in the minds of the shadows
In the mind of evil it will be
Eternal life is obtained for you
where the serpents ever dwell
bridge:
Seven Ancient Ones are they
Raise the lords of all that is evil
Awake, by rites
the beyond of man
The living part
of death approaches
pre.ch.:
Leave your body tonight
Reach the evil tonight
The final ritual tonight
The end of this world tonight
Dignity is recieved
from the rulers of the depth
Hailfully praises thee
The obscure freedom is yours
ch.:
The memory of your work will remain
through dimensions of time
In the eternal wind it will blow
Eternal life is obtained for you
where the serpents ever dwell
2. The Sign of the Pentagram
A witch haunted fullmoon is on the rise
Tortured by fate and by sorcery
Rising in the crimson red sky
A warning of what evil to come
Behold the dawn
As it is the last
Bow down to
The sign
The sign for the evil arise
Arise
To the axis in the sky
Full moon
Tremble with fear infore it
Evil
In the sign of the pentagram
Reborn in the heat from the flames
Babtized in blood and in fire
Raised to bring darkness to the day
Between dusk and dawn
Perish in the sign
Unknown from behind
A funeral for man
A shadow in time
Behold the flames torture their souls
Whisper in woods the sign of the pentagram
3. Ancient Entity
Beneath the fullmoon
Covered in gloomy clouds
Obscure funeral spirits
Evil shadows on haunted ground
Every night they rise again
To meet the lords of death again
They live on as souls in eternity
Forced by an Ancient Entity
Through the mist I see
A circle around the gathered souls
In the mist I do belive
In sacred power of ancient kind
Knights of Satan, dead boys choir
Ten ore more around a fire
Invoking dragons and demons this event
They are not the ones that God has sent
I heard them whisper...
"As you reach the border to the unknown land,
Or when you are visited by the great lords of darkness...
Take your time, have in mind and remember...
This is not supposed to be a comfortable land..."
Every night they rise again
To meet the lords of death again
They live on as souls in eternity
Forced by an Ancient Entity
4. Dead Boys' Choir
Hallowed dances upon glorified graves
Twisted minds, blasphemous slaves
Witches and demons are supporting the dead
In worship of who they are lead
Views of midnightly risen stones
Sounds of clattering skulls and bones
Like shadows they cling tight onto trees
Proud of their evilness, they are God's enemies
They are gathered here in the fivepointed star
To close up ritual of a time so far
End what was not ended before
To meet the lord Satan they highly adore
The Dead Boy's Choir whispers through the eternal fire
5. The Southernmost Voyage
A sharpened shaft shines through morning dew
Drawn out shadows walk on you
Alone I stand to face the day
Tortured by a deathly silent view
Take my hand, please follow me
I was your love and your destiny
Let us over mistcovered mountains go
To a place where our lost souls can be
Not destined to a heaven built of lies and fantasy
We will sail to the empire of ecstasy
Travel through the back of out minds
And soon forever dwell in necromancy
The hall of Gods
Where you belong
If you have my blood
And faith that strong
May my words be engraved in the heart of every Man
Try to understand them as good as you can
"Drink to Lucifer or drink the blood of Christ
All things [are] depending on your own dreamland"
The hall of Gods
Where you belong
If you have my blood
And faith that strong
6. A Winter Shadow
Black, cold and dismal
Sweeping through the nocturnal haze
Led by the midnight breeze
On its journey to its resting place
A shadow out of time
Hidden between different spheres
Forsaken by memory
To forever fly alone
A Winter Shadow
Under the haunted starlight
Under the light of the moon
Among stars so bright
Delivered from Gods
And cursed to an everlasting search
Passed certain heavenly places
Cried out at the gates of light
No open door was seen
Why it decided to assault
At the throne of the Almighty
It asked for hospitality
But the hands of God
Threw this stranger out
A Winter Shadow
Under the haunted starlight
Under the light of the moon
Among stars so bright
Delivered from Gods
And cursed to an everlasting search
Time for a final step
It searched through darkened space
Ended the hellish gates stood proud
But a shadow out of time
Yet caught between spheres
Is supposed to enter the night
And forever fly alone...
To forever fly alone...
7. Smell of Insence
The smell of flowers, the smell of grace
If I could only find such a wonderful place
The place not known before you die
A paradise above the skies
The smell of incense takes me high
Way up high where eagles fly
If I close my eyes I see it clear
The visions are whispering in my ears
The smell of pain, the smell of death
The odour that is my last breath
The smell of incense takes me high
Way up high where eagles fly
8. A Caress of Stars
I was your fear and you were my fate
I wanted you near but I bred your hate
You left me for dead, deep down in the mud
With scars of my head, in my heart and my blood
On my head, in my heart and my blood
On my head, in my heart and my blood
CHORUS
"A caress of stars
A silhouette in the twilight sky
The daybreak sets on silver seas
My name echoes through crimson hills
On the horizon, where seas meet clouds
A scenery shimmers beyond reality
I glance a world as a recent lit star
I am swallowed by universe"
A vacant eye caught the last moonlight
A wish to die to be shining bright
As a star to light your way
To where we are not led astray
Where we are not led astray
Where we are not led astray
CHORUS
"A caress of stars
A silhouette in the twilight sky
The daybreak sets on silver seas
My name echoes through crimson hills
On the horizon, where seas meet clouds
A scenery shimmers beyond reality
I glance a world as a recent lit star
I am swallowed by universe"
Deep in death
Wrapped in the morning deauty
Comes close my love
My dearest sister and friend
9. The Sleeping Beauty
Alone I sit, I wonder why
You dream of love and so do I
But in your sleep you cannot see
This pain which is always haunting me
What I need I'll never feel
This world is for me unreal
So I drink to darkness with a candle lit
And through the whole night alone I sit
CHORUS
The sleeping beauty
She stops the bleeding
She stops the bleeding in my soul
She is fresh air in this stinking world
The more I drink, the more I see
That suicide could be the key
To the place called paradise
Where pain not dwells, not hate nor lies
But if I look beyond all this
I reckon something I would surely miss
Because in my dreams I rule my life
And the sleeping beauty is my wife
CHORUS
The sleeping beauty
She stops the bleeding
She stops the bleeding in my soul
She is fresh air in this stinking world
10. When You're In (Pink Floyd cover)
11. Visionaire
With a solar knife I split the sky
And walk right in between
To search the answers to every "why?"
Where I have seen the unseen
CHORUS
I stole the colour of night
To get out of your sight
I am the Visionaire
Follow me if you dare...
I count the stars in my hands
And dream myself strong
To watch them twinkle on my command
As once a year in midwinter songs
CHORUS
I stole the colour of night
To get out of your sight
I am the Visionaire
Follow me if you dare...
12. Do You Dream of Me?
Come down, slowly
I'm waiting by your side
Come down, carefully
I'm waiting by your side
I'll grab you when you fall
Down to the waking hours
Silent sweeps as golden corn
Down to the waking hours
How i wish that I could
Break into your dreams
Do I have the force I need
To break into your dreams
I hold you in my arms
Dimmed by scarlet morning red
I whisper in your ear
"Do you dream of me?"
13. A Pocket Sized Sun
I came so close, so near
That I almost got out of my shell
When a pink coloured vision did appear
A girl with something to sell
The girl offered me a pocket size sun
I beheld its innocent smile
She said "If you wanna have fun,
It will take you to heaven for awhile"
An inch from the blue skies ceiling
I was touched by her careful fingertips
With the sun we shared our feelings
And I finally kissed her ruby lips
She started to sing a lullaby
Origined from ancient Senoi
"In dream's realm can no one die
Sleep safe my little boy"
The sun cut my eyes like a dropblade
Drew elseworlds in the sand
My memories began to fade
And did suddenly slip through my hands
In the sand I found two wonderful shells
As Like as two peas
And I thought I could hear the sound of bluebells
Behind the roaring seven seas...
