Carpathian Forest 2001 "Morbid Fascination Of Death"
1. Fever, Flames And Hell
On a battlefield up north Tons of steel united in bloodshed Sombre men of invisible might The fallen snow covers All the wounds of the earth
Slaves of restriction Remains this skeleton earth The dust kills all sound We're sucked into a black hole The eyes that watched From the top of the hill The eyes that capture human guilt
A stiff vulture claw shows the way To a land of mist To a land of war Night of torment Fever, Flames and Hell In the cold grip of Armageddon
2. Doomed To Walk The Earth As Slaves Of The Living Dead
You are born into bondage You are born as a slave
What am I? "You're a slave" Forever submissive Forever in holy chains
(You are) born by a whore By a filthy cunt Which spread disease The disease of god
You have the ability to rise After a fall We await impatiently For a divine sundown
You're a slave Of your own restrictions Of Christian morals Of the book of lies
You have the ability to rise After a fall We await impatiently For a divine sundown
You're a slave Of your own restrictions Of Christian morals Of the book of lies
Stop being so humble Stop showing remorse Cut it off The hands that feed the blind Can you move? With those holy chains
The grey horizon I paint it black See through tomorrows Spiteful eyes
The fury of the north men (within) those who still believe The holy slumber must end (After) Thousand years of dormancy
:Et spiritus sancti:
3. Morbid Fascination Of Death
Lifeless landscapes Dead trees up in the hills Pure autumn bliss
In cold November On a night of gusting wind Clouds came down - down
Together we were beasts We lay in the cold dusk - Of his negligence In the mist of the turmoil
Frozen heart Beast of winter Mental frost Beast of winter Mental frost
4. Through Self-Mutilation
The self-mutilation Necrosis of the soul Dark is the shadows of life Hot as Hell
You take the matters into your own hands From now on it's downhill A single candle burns - In the vast consuming darkness Uplifting like a funeral
Through these years you were created In the void between life and death A shimmering blade shreds through his flesh At the peak of his night - time bliss Misanthropes, kings and queens And a painful vision of Hell
It burns The blisters on your hands So nebulous, dark as December
You should be dead by now Lost in time and space But you push the limits further You hate the human race
5. Knokkelmann
Doden er en ensom ferd Doden er bade angst og lja Med et glimt du skal fa se - Inn i evighetens oye
En fattig sjel Sultet i hjel Dodens kalde hand Hentet knokkelmann
Du sa nei til livets sang Gang pa gang Tatt igjen av tidens tann Til helvete med knokkelmann
Solfalls ild:
6. Warlord Of Misanthropy
I have died from within The beginning of an end But I still stand Seeing red The anger made me strong
The vision was mine Horizon becomes vast Claim your throne The fire turns to flames
I had it all Before the fall Warlords of misanthropy Powers Spiritual powers to foresee Warlords of misanthropy
Warriors of the fall Through sinful years The hellish burden That I was given:
7. A World Of Bones
An evil face The eyes so cold The dark labyrinth of the human mind
Key to a kingdom A world of bones New revelation, anger is the fuel
I am a sinner On the last dreadful day of judgement Heaven I unbind all spirits who Abide this hole In symbols speaking I woke you from the deepest dream
Open the gates Behold your sentence In the sign of the cross And the crown of thorns
The precious (human) blood Burning holy tears Lifetime sinner Which saw his sign But the eyes were cold
8. Carpathian Forest
Three times the eclipse Before she lays her soul to rest Channelling the darkness of many nights All this was once her dream
See and feel The blackened blade of revenge
Cold white towering mountains The passage to the land of phantoms Deep forlorn woods Where the gleam of neither light or - Bliss reach
The castle lies in the mist Between the mountain and marshes Throughout the last centuries Have the moonshine enlightened her coffin
Black soul of the hunter
The hungering thirst The enchantress of the night The hungering thirst Evil, devour its soul Since the medieval times Have your shadow haunted:
9. Cold Confort
A spirit rose from the earth Slowly leaving... Their candle-flame lonely, and so needing Like dust in the night the prayers rise Under the sick image of Christ They talk to the nothingness Old wounds were never mended
Something drops from the (autumn) leaves Again it rains: In a dry corner, salvation again declines Sleep like a skull in the hard ground Nothing for ears nothing for eyes Without a shadow, waiting for nothing The dark room, the moist tenement (of earth)
The cold kiss of release, great light He was never man enough In a world of cruel faces He discovered that he was never man enough He discovered nothing Far above and beyond... All in the name of god The eyes refused to look ahead...
10. Speechless
When we came through The veil of the night The fall of man We gave you our hearts
The watcher The sentinel The "God" that took you away
Where ends our journey? We slip away And shadow falls
We gave it all You found no god Mankind will forever weep!!!
11. Nostalgia
From the ashes he returns Through the seal of the dark He looks upon the enchanting moon His lips are dry And crave for human blood
Through all centuries We see the horizon clearly Deep in our hearts Under the shelter of a tree
It lives in the well of time The ancient dread of non-existence Close your eyes, it leads the way (To the) Treasure throne of memories
This is the emptiness This is life Make a final sign (And) Leave the world behind
