1. The Dawn of a New Age
"And I looked, and behold a pale horse:
And his name that sat on him was Death
and Hell followed with him. And power was given
unto them over the fourth part of the earth,
to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death,
and with the beasts of the earth."
And then again "I saw and behold, a black horse:
And he that sat on him had a scythe; And a crown
was given unto him and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
And there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black
as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth,
even as a fig tree casteth her intimely figs,
when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven
departed as a scroll when it is rolled together,
amd every mountain and island were moved out of their places."
Almighty mountains and rocks, I beg you fall on them.
For the grat day of wrath is coming, and who shall be able to stand?
(from the Book of Revelations: Edited and partly re-written by Satyr)
2. Forhekset
Forhekset av tidenes vind, Besatt av Nattens kolde gufs
Under ravnsvart himmel de bedriver Blodskam og hor
Med skingrende stemmer de påkaller Dypets makter
I en sirkel bundet av Grimme visjoner
Båret av dyrets Glans, Omfavnet av dødens vinger
Av det dypeste hat i det sorteste av det mørke
I en eng av torner...Nå i fullmånens besettende lys
De nagler englene til jorden med sjel og kropp
Kaos hersker over de hvite domener
Profetier blir oppfylt
Jorden står i et hav av flammer
3. Mother North
Mother north - how can they sleep while their beds are burning ?
Mother north - your fields are bleeding
Memories...The invisible wounds
pictures that enshrine your throne (gone?)
A Future benighted still they are blind
Pigeonhearted beings of flesh and blood
keeps closing their eyes for the dangers that threat...ourselves and our nature
And that is why
they all enrage me
Sometimes in the dead of the night i mesmerize my soul
Sights and visions prophecies and horror
they all come in one
Mother north - united we stand (together we walk)
Phantom north - I'll be there when you hunt them down
4. Du Som Hater Gud
Du som hater gud og kristent liv
Føler hans nærvær som en bitter kreft
Her må det skjendes og skjendes kvasst
Himmelrikets enger dynket i blod
Hater av gud
Og lyspesten
Se inn i guds lamme øyne
Så soytter de i hans åsyn
Slå i hjel hans ynkelige lam
Med klubbe
Gud med ditt og dine
Har du lagt mitt norgesrike i ruiner
Fordumstiders staute skikk og bruk
Kvestet du med dine stygge ord
Nå skal du bort fra vår mark
5. Immortality Passion
I am the beast in passionate pain
I am the grim being of the highlands
Of the other side...
I am winter when you freeze
I am the hammer and you are the anvil
Forever in warfare my heart is
With my passion of despair
Still though I was there when the hills were born
And when the wind blew for the first time
So there are reasons for my existence
Seems like I dwell in a circle
Somewhere in the Nordic Hemisphere
Where the howling winds rage
And the mountains are majestic
I can breathe and where there is
Human flesh I feel strangled
Open the gate to immortality
I stand proud awaiting the glory
Of a new morning...darkness
6. Nemesis Divina
Eder har gjort vaart rike raattent
eder har gjort vaart gull rustent
og Hammene fra de veldige sletter er alt vi har aa minnes fra verdig
manns lid
Eder har bragt kvalmende lys i dragens hule
eder har malt kors paa hammer
og vi har siktet pilen paa menneskesønnens usle trone
Nemesis divina splinten i øyet paa jehova
Nemesis divina kniven i hjertet paa guds sínn
Eder har bragt elsk til fiende
Eder har gjort ravn til due
Men det olme øyet er vendt mot eder og hevnens klokke ringer
Eder er vitnesbyrd om brente broer og glemte sanger
Eder er barmhjertighetens fedre og milleniumspestens budbringere
Dog skal en dag naa komme da eder barn i tre skal henge
Nemesis divina splinten i øyet paa jehova
Nemesis divina kniven i hjertet paa guds sínn
For stridsmenn har naa hevet øksen og bespottelsens tegn er reist
Nemesis divina - for straffen maa komme
7. Transcendental Requiem of Slaves
