- An Elegy of Icaros
Icaros, I dare you
For I possess the wings of faith
Though, heavy on my shoulders
(No measurement can prove their weight)
Still, a burden are they not to me
I am the challenger of gravity
The fear is not the fate I seek

- Empty
he is an empty shell
– shell-shocked luciferian soul
he is an empty shell
– drained and sealed
he is an empty shell
– penetrating cold
he is an empty shell
- He Who Sought The Fire
And again he came to cherish
The comfort of mysteries
Inspiring and far away
Timeless in the moment
They painted immortality
Forever drawn towards the centre
Of this ensorcelling flame
- I Am The Black Wizards
Mightiest am I, but I am not alone in this cosmos of mine. For the black hills
consist of black souls, souls that already died one thousand deaths. Behind
the stone walls of centuries they breed their black art. Boiling their spells
in cauldrons of black gold. Far up in the mountains, where the rain fall not
far, yet the sun cannot reach. The wizards, my servants, summon the souls of
macrocosm. No age will escape my wrath. I travel though time and I return to
the future. I gather wisdom now lost. I visit again the eternally ancient
caves, before a mighty Emperor thereupon came. Watching the mortals
- In Longing Spirit
Landscapes
Entrance my mind with thoughts of ancient times
I wonder...
Did they walk this path...
Open seas
An endless horizon they seem
I wonder...
where did they go...

- In the Wordless Chamber
in the wordless chamber
they feared death
desperately
thus they clustered to the fruits of the earth
craving dispersion
as if to avoid knowing why
in the wordless chamber
- Inno A Satana
O' mighty Lord of the Night. Master of beasts. Bringer of awe and derision.
Thou whose spirit lieth upon every act of oppression, hatred and strife.
Thou whose presence dwelleth in every shadow.
Thou who strengthen the power of every quietus.
Thou who sway every plague and storm.
Harkee.
Thou art the Emperor of Darkness.
- Into The Infinity Of Thoughts
As the Darkness creeps over the Northern mountains of Norway
And the silence reach the woods
I awake and rise... Into the night I wander
Like many nights before, and like in my dreams, but centuries ago
Under the moon, under the trees.
Into the Infinity of Darkness
Beyond the light of a new day
Into the frozen nature chilly,
- Lord Of The Storms
Earthquakes are breaking the silence,
a vision of hate.
A wicked, foul spell of evil.
Dark winds command the throne.
Cleansed by the evil hand,
a crusade of the burning land.
A servant in the shape of a snake
blackens the bodies red.
- My Empire's Doom
Once our lord has come again,
all black hearts will celebrate
the darksome fiend
in the kingdom of sorrow.
Nocturnal fiends,
the beings of the night and shadows
calling forth the pure spirit
- Sworn
Four eyes as two in one the forward circular
view that never ends. An orbital voyage
throughout the endless sphere of all.
Where time is lost and everything transcends.
A graceful presence at stolen time.
As ghosts to the world, ghosts to the world.
For ice, outside, are we apart as cold and
eerie mist to the hand. Ever floating on its
- The Acclamation Of Bonds
Vide
Ravens caw in reverence
Anthems to the Welkin at dusk
In celebration of the few
The kin
Beyond flesh
Beyond words
Those of the core
- The Ancient Queen
The Ancient Queen.
Deadly hate, deadly love.
Dark under the shadow.
Death has been resisted.
The Ancient Queen,
ruler of the domain.
Keeper of the fury,
the Queen dwells in shadow.
- The Burning Shadows Of Silence
Benighted darker and darker
as I walk through the woods,
into the silent shadows.
As the sky goes from dark to black, ice cold whispers burns my skin.
From nowhere to the deepest of my soul they speak unto me...
grievance of sadness, like the gift of sorrow.
A Moon, a bloodred full Moon lights my black hearts night.
- The Eruption
... and after years in dark tunnels
he came to silence
there was nothing...
he realised that the cheering cries of worship
were but echoes of his harsh outspoken word
reflecting back at him from cold and naked walls
- The Loss And Curse Of Reverence
Memories of torment strikes me
Attempts were made to suffocate me at birth
Fools
I was already ancient
Thou can not kill what breeds within Thee
Alas, this agony
The emptiness of earthborn pride
- Thorns On My Grave
I hereby commit my body to the ground
Sterilised and wrapped in plastic foil
Being an object of this space and time
This body should remain concealed...
For it holds every disease
Ever exposed
It holds all pain and death
- Thus Spake The Nightspirit
Close your eyes
And gaze into this realm
That I reveal
See where eternities are born
Close your eyes
Behold the powers of the broken seal
See the liars bound in thorns
- Towards The Pantheon
May the wolves start to howl again
May the age of darkness arise
We will travel for eternitys into the unknown to reach what we seek
Fight the ways through the barriers of light
through the wastelands where nothing but grief have become the eternal memory
Shield of life, sword of death held up high into the
sky
Guided by the shining moon in the starry sky above
- With Strength I Burn
Deep Green Dark Chaos
Blinded I run down these paths
By heart I know them
They lead to the searing cliffs
Stout they stand above the water's edge
Lifeless
And this is my foundation
- Wrath Of The Tyrant
The wolves bark with wind in summertime.
As the moon passes the shadows. It was a grim tale.
The wolves pry the limbs from the conquered ones.
Carnage consumes the emptiness.
Wait till my spirits come forth.
Violate all his chosen ones.
Drink the fires of death.

Drawn towards these lands again.
Seeking death and sacred soil.
