Temptation awaits as she opens the gates and I kneel down before her The scent of her rides in the breath of the night and I'm breathing the curse
I breathe and I drown in the circle of fire the glow of the flames And I embrace the demon-desire the glow of the flames in my eyes
The pleasure and pain... now they are the same for I have fell from grace I've been waiting for so long for the feeling this strong for this bliss of escape
I breathe and I drown in this funeral pyre the glow of the flames and I embrace the demon-desire the glow of the flames in my eyes
2. Love Infernal
[Musik & Lyrik: Laihiala]
Come...the thick night and breathe in me Yes, come...with lifeless eyes and die with me Burn... unleash the holy smoke to flee Yes, burn... deceased and buried is misery
To live in desire is to play with the fire that burns within our every cell Dying eternal, love infernal... just one kiss to feel the spell So fall and surrender the weak pretender Don't resist the call of hell Dying eternal, love infernal... just one kiss to feel the spell
Heart... kill the heart make the beating cease Yes, heart... the chained emotions crave for release Souls... together entwined in debauchery Yes, souls... flee beyond divinity
3. The State
[Musik: Kukkonen & Lyrik: Laihiala]
In my darkest hour I breathe out the name and sigh I'm for her to devour to rape with whips of shame... and I sigh
The state I ache to be in, the state I crave for
The bringer of the night reveals the blessing disguised with one touch A shepherd for her blind, a light into these eyes... with one touch
The state I ache to be in, the state I crave for
So, can you see I believe by the blood that I seep that it's worth all the hurt and the tears that I desperately weep Can you see I believe and no longer grieve And it's worth all the hurt and the fears that I desperately keep
4. All Else Is Hollow
[Musik & Lyrik: Laihiala]
Lust equals fire when you come to me Obsession and craving burning inside of me Pain feeds desire as you cut me deep Sharpened caresses of debauchery
It runs through my veins and through my heart assuring that death won't do us part Then leaving me craving torn apart... I just want you
Rust equals blood and I hear you sigh "pain will be gone in a blink of an eye" Fear turns to dust with a blissful cry Self-pollution's how we cleanse the lie... I just want you
It's useless to tame, so useless to point your fingers and blame the hunger that's screaming out your name It's needless to say, I need you inside my heart to stay All else is cleansed away, all else is hollow anyway
5. In Lust
[Musik & Lyrik: Laihiala]
It comes again... the state I love and hate It comes again... I am lost yet I have faith I'm so high on you
The nature of you is to keep on fulfilling the need The nature of me is to drown with the next defeat
Time after time you bleed your tears for me Time after time... for me
When fear of life keeps crawling in she wipes it all away Day turns to night repeats the sin I'm in lust so let love reign
It comes again... cos you're fuel to this desire It comes again... cos you make the flames burn higher I'm so high on you
6. The Exciter
[Musik & Lyrik: Laihiala]
You're under my skin the poison within Diabolical rapture that's dripping with sin Break down my will, a kiss for the kill Bury me deep between death and the thrill
Your name is desire, loins of fire The lust incarnate, an angel, a liar Break down my will, a kiss for the kill Bury me deep between death and the thrill
Let glow red the poison sun and the flame to make me numb Let me hear the words witch I have been dying to hear Burn my fingers one by one, guide me down into the sun Let me show you how I crave to make you come
You looked at me deep and made me weep You gave me my sin, my soul now keep Broke down my will, kissed for the kill Buried me deep between death and the thrill
7. Lay Your Heart To Rest
[Musik & Lyrik: Laihiala]
I've fallen from grace into the kingdom of shadowlands into the pleasure's nest This pale death on my face I've come to love and understand when I laid my heart to rest
And I believe in one thing forevermore, to live is to love the pain And I feel like I never felt before, the rapture of dying
Slow, deep and hard through your frail and virgin mind will flow ist lifeless zest Take it in your heart and you will become my kind just lay your heart to rest
And you believe in one thing forevermore, to live is to love pain And you feel like you never felt before, the rapture of dying And you believe in one thing forevermore, to live is to love pain And you feel like you never felt before, the rapture of dying
8. With Her I Die
[Musik: Kukkonen & Lyrik: Laihiala]
Her sharpened nails in my flesh make me crave for more Her chilling cold caress makes me feel so warm She's my addiction, the one... the one I love , my whore She's my redemption, the one... the one I hate and adore
And with her I die And for her I die She's my mistress of pain
I burn in flames of lust... I covet, I crave, I desire In her I lay all my trust as the flames grow higher She's my addiction, the one...the one I love , my whore She's my redemption, the one... the one I hate and adore
And with her I die And for her I die and therefore I sigh, she's my mistress of pain
9. Illusion / Delusion
[Musik: Kukkonen & Lyrik: Laihiala]
And she cradles me down into sleep Still I miss her so and for more I weep And she gives me death yet I'm alive Craving eternally, on her I thrive
We are one, we are the same Burning with brightest flame
I am the strange illusion, don't feel too real A catatonic thing that should not be You are the seewt delusion yet you feel so real for all these wounds I have only you can heal
And she buries me down far too deep Yet six-feet high and gives me bliss to keep And she abuses me yet I abide She's in demand, my hunger I cannot hide
10. The Kiss Of Death
[Musik & Lyrik: Laihiala]
Close... the shadows creep close A failure drifting lost in cold embrace Pain...every cut of pain Makes him bleed and weak, fall from grace
On and on I bleed... on and on I bleed
Walk... circles I walk Awaiting for that sweet cure to seep in Night... I'm breathing the night It conceals the stairway to heaven within
Drive into the night... I drive into the night Drunk on pain I taste the kiss of death
It's just as I dreamed this feeling surreal fades my life away And yes, it's meant to be this way, no more fears or pain As death is talking care of my life
