The cold wind blew into my life, my adored. A bleeding heart we share, now on AzraelТs wings. I fall like autumn rain... You are my everything. This lovelorn kiss of death in lugubrious silence Dawn breaks open like a wound... and the dreadful sun Two souls entwined together, Still so alone. Both you and I are shattered And frozen in stone. You begged for air from within this cold tomb with pain sharp as a knife I now lie resting like a child on thy womb, gave back a part of my life. For a while it had disappeared, but nothing was changed. A haze fell forever with her fading life. I leaned my head back... then drank of opaline. The emerald goddess came to me... she craved my soul And just for a while... I had forgotten. Yes, it was all forgotten, but nothing was changed. Suddenly a cold breeze blew across our room... I felt like I wanted to leave... this world with her. Come; drink with me the divine nectar of Olympus! Sit beside me and help defy our adversity and loss... This adversity and loss. It all ends with you! I kiss you in your dying breath; sleeping quietly now. Swept away by heavy eyelids; forever in my dreams... And you will be safe in my dearest dreams... My love... forever in my dearest dreams.
2. Through Infectious Waters (A Sickness Elegy)
This flesh holds me captive and in quest of liberation... As the sheep flock in the dissonance, I tread in dissent. To the piercing light that sears our hearts; To the sickness that plagues our spirits... I cannot revere in this blind acceptance and falter in my comprehension. Forfeit my injured soul, this affliction I respire! Heal this restless spirit Ц that bestowed naught. Heal this heart that approached the world, as I relegate Ц I consign! Heal my heart, my weeping soul... I consign this putrid flesh. Nothing here, nobody there... Erroneous illness shouting. The outcry reviles this tattered soil... Drowning the world in filth and distortion. Forfeit my injured soul, this affliction I respire! Heal this restless spirit Ц that bestowed naught. Heal this heart that approached the world, as I relegate Ц I consign! Heal my heart, my weeping soul... I consign this putrid flesh. IТll leave my conscience to die. A barrenness of dreams and anticipation; Life and hope shrivel into the void. Heal this heart that approached the world, as I relegate Ц I consign! Heal my heart, my weeping soul... I consign this putrid flesh. In this pantheon of sorrow, We are everything, yet nothing! And as long weТre breathing, The burden devoid of conclusion! Unaided I slither Ц ravaged, silent and alone. I smolder in anxious strife; I decline these exhausted remnants of decay. The world is coming to an end; a vast ocean of disease... All hope is lost... or perhaps this is the cradle of salvation. I must tranquil these turbulent waters. No more expressions shall leave my trait... No further words shall be spoken. This illness they conceived broke my tired wings.
3. The Dying
We flew over these lands and broke our wings in the flight. Precipitation so far from salvation to a blinding light of despairing life IТm falling Ц my soul is starving. So beautiful, this silent call Ц With eyes of mist and snow Ц This tear of our persistent cry. Oh, how I cry... How much sorrow can we stand? How many tears do we have to shred? We cried, we suffered, we died... over and over and over again. Desolation sanctified Ц the walls are closing in. Resurrection terrified Ц I see the humans grin. We cried, we suffered, we died... We starve ourselves from hope and dreams. Desperation horrified Ц we made in sickened blood. Resurrection humanized Ц they smile with dripping poison. Creator Ц believer Ц deceiver... Desecrate Ц devastate Ц your souls are dead! The sun will never rise again Your sun will never rise again The fading innocence, the dying beauty A word of light darkens this peaceful night. IТm falling Ц my soul is starving. So beautiful, this silent call Ц With eyes of mist and snow Ц This tear of our persistent cry. Your wretched empire falls apart... The signs are shown all over the world.
4. Serenade of Sorrow
[Lucifer:] And the fires burnТd inside my eyeТs as ye fallТs ascending like a moment oТ joy. My thorns where sown in ye light oТ Day, and the windsЕ they blewЕ until my winds, they blew no more. I screamТd out into the dawn!
[Spirit of Night:] His thorns were spawned from the grasp oТ God, and the painЕ it grewЕ but holiness grew no more. Grievance; froТ the horizon she comesЕ I wonder if I could stay in His world, Сcause sooner or later this pain must end! My lifeЕ it cries to be free, but legions of starsЕ the stars suffers with me! Grievance: Pain must end! His life cries, but soon to be freeЕ Thou art the star oТ VenusЕ Oh Seraphim! The Holy Spirit: Thou must obey thy father, thy God! Bow down before his eyesЕ before his very eyeТsЕ!
[Lucifer:] My GodЕ СfatherТЕ hear us cry! Tell me whyЕ! Thou wilt die!!!
[Astaroth:] Oh, Enslaver of Souls; Thou can not be our father! Oh, Avengeful God; Thou hast brought us agony!
[Lucifer:] Into heavТn our sorrowЕ ye beautiful moment oТ tragedyЕ Falling froТ the lies of His Сperfect worldТ. Takest us away, so far awayЕ here is nothing but pain. Farewell now as we enter our darknessЕ and we love her, the realization! Behold our salvation! Sorrow so beautifulЕ They are fallingЕ falling! God is smilingЕ smiling! Salvation comes but pain still growsЕ
5. The Morningstar
"IТve cried a river for you to swim to let you know the state weТre in. IТve dreamt a vision for you to see that the night is the only worthy key"
I have seen HeavenТs sleep, and IТve watched the angels weep, they are slaves of fear and pain I know that the dark will save us all as long we praise the dragons call.
Eternal seems the time, but the only true love will remain, and darkness shall rise up to Heaven to embrace the last, final prayer... Cause the grace of His word once spoken is now shattered by a promise broken.
"So curse the tyrant, curse the light, for we are free here in this night. So embrace the sorrow, kiss the tearsЕ follow the wind to erase your fears, for the fires burn bright, the fires of blue, and in the end it will burn in all of you."
The war will come, apocalyptic storms of a tortured silence as God oppresses His last, final soulЕ and eternal seems the time, but the only true love will remain, and darkness shall rise up to Heaven to embrace the last, final prayerЕ So deny GodТs light and His words spokenЕ We regain Heaven and crush His skull wide open!
"IТve cried a river for you to swim, to let you know the state weТre in. IТve sent a message throughout the stars, for His kingdom is full of scars. I am Lucifer, let us unite come with me and live His light!
I am the LightЕ That Leads to Darkness! I am the NightЕ Behold Pandemonium! Behold the Morningstar! Behold Lucifer"
6. The Gothic Embrace
[Lucifer:] Oh angel oТ my winter; grieveth for the pain oТ sadness. A gothic embrace restores my love God took away... Ye romance oТ forgotten times... in eras without the sun. An ocean oТ tears I see... A nightfall oТ dreams caresses me.
[Deliah:] Thou wert, thou art, thou shalt foreТer be... Ye nightshade oТ thy sorrow, stretching out in twilights beauty. In love with ye thousands oТ nights... but weeping in silence... in ebony... for melancholyЕ forever!
Jesus Christ walks the EarthЕ A pitiful shade of GodЕ A cruel conspiracy for the sake of slavery, and He drags Сem down to the plague of humanity.
[Lucifer:] IТve killed my holinessЕ killed my emptiness! IТm fallen from GodЕ fallen from guilt!
IТve abandoned the light, the light that blinded so long! Free from submission, but still under His spell. WeТre in painЕ painЕ pain! Sorrow turns to anguishЕ and I scream with hate at the tyrant above!
[Astaroth:] Gothic moonЕ ablazeth the eventide so sonorous, ye solemn of a lovelorn gardТn oТ crimson souls. All true beauty is sad... but lost within the clenched hands of God.
[Lucifer:] I mourn that the night passes us byЕ Let there be an eternal nightЕ eternal night!
7. On Sunday They Will Kill The World
[Originally performed by Ekseption]
On a Sunday they will kill the world And on Monday they will cry and shout Then on Tuesday they will just try out What will happen to the burning crowd
And you hearing this song You will smile, and think that Iіm wrong Iіm a friend you killed in your mind Iіm four kids and you didnіt find
On a Sunday they will kill the world
On a Sunday they will kill the world
And you will think of me But Iіm gone and then Iіll see In the sky for me sits one, too What they did, some people like you
On a Sunday they will kill the world
8. Forever My Queen
[Pentagram cover]
