- ...of Ruins and a Red Nightfall
Life gains intensified pain to ascend within me once again
Woe strikes through radiant light
A quitus has conquered thy eyes
The sequel of life
Arising grievance rage through the eyes
Of our existence a thousand times
The strife drawn hither as a daydream ascendancy
- A Sequel Of Decay
In decadence I take thee by the hand
too frail...to gain the promised land
too frail...to take your pain away
too frail...a sequel of decay
May milleniums gather
on the mirage of desolated souls
far between departure and sorrow
I breed my afterthought
- Ab Initio
On this day
The sky came alive
My lover and I
Witnessed a miracle
Suddenly
You were here
- Amnesia
Were words too vague
Disarmed and desperate
But after all your call
Was inflammable
So you slip into the fire
I am watching it transpire
- Angellore
When summer's gone flee my angel
Winterwinds they might lead you far away
Beyond the pale horizon, a greaven silence
Over dreams to my heart yet not remain
Oh please believe
It's in her eyes
- Angina
Through scornful declarence and lumnious eyes
the shadows enveil with the glorious night
Trespassing the sunset like thou hast before
Entreating the daylight to rage nevermore
Angina striking Elysium
A frail remembrance glorificates the nightside-ascendance
veiled underneath thy funereal skies
The winds they may haunt me in bloodredest skies
- Aphelion
Yearning for days of yore
in elysian daydreams
Burn with a fatal gloss
a confounding mirror of souls
Dance with the winter winds
in thy visions so sanguine
Glance upon Stygian streams
where lies hidden a pale secrecy
- Arteries
Whose side are you on
Whose side are you on
The pacifist
The pussyfist
The provocator
You speak of it
You reek of it
- Beyond The Veil
Not fear, nor tears can reach me now
the light seems so clear as the night fades away
Behold of thy flame, below of all shame
Come conquer me sweet dreams of paradise
Dusk drawn hither to my evening star
A glance in thy mirror
The trance of thy mirror
Venus...through the looking glass
- Bird

Lyrics: Østen Bergøy
A friendly push
Off the cliff – is all I need
A sudden change
Or a smile
Could make me feel alive,
- Cease
1.The velvet breath of life.
Enchants the garden of delight.
Her voice within these winds.
The flowers so sirene.
Her cold and silent wail.
Descend like midsummer rain.
Bury my heart in thine.
A taste of heavens wine.
- Cease to Exist
The velvet breath of life
enchants the garden of delight
Her voice within these winds
The flowers so serene
Her cold and silent wail
Descend like midsummer rain
Bury my heart in thine
A taste of heavens wine
- Circus
Tied up and gagged
Hooded and tagged
They're all yours to command
I am corpse, I am carrion prey
I have a crow at each brow
plucking eyes in my mask of death
The darkness is complete
- Crushed Dreams
You choke a scream
Crushing a dream
Made the scheme real
Show this sinner your precious god
Lift the blame off my shoulders
With a simple thought
Show me life's pleasure
- Cure -
In your web
The threads entangle
Your prey is dead –
Dyed in silence
I'll forever stay with you
At your feet I will kneel
At your will
- Darkest White
Into the roar
Ignite the day’s addiction
The soporific war
To numb my true attrition
It’s my declaration
The altar spinning on the floor
My fight – my darkest white
The only war you will adore
- Deadlands
I failed to impress you, and you
Feel free to abuse me
All has been in vain
We're through
So please stop pretending
Years I spent were wasted on you
Words have been spoken
- Deadlocked
You've had your last regrets
Reached your final depths
Deepest pits
Stepped aside for the world to pass you by
Chose to leave the fear
You are stuck in a world of deadlocks
This time it's real
This time it's for real
- December Elegy
May thou carry me to the sea
Like autumn leaves... heaven wither
Savage is the winter prevailing within
I fall for thee... Sorrow entreating me
Makes me leave heaven
I find thy lilies there of snow
where once I died... weeping for thee
- Destination Departure
Caressing the anger
Nothing will ever be the same again
At your most beautiful
At your most beautiful
This is my destination
Left behind in desolation
At your most beautiful
- Endogenesis
There is only one way out
One word left to shout
The last little slope to climb
Then my feet slip again
Your threatening voice
Gets me back up on my feet again
I will find the truth within your skin
- Equilibrium
This is the slowest dance
The dance of a thousand years
The dance of the frozen statues
Clinging together in tears
This is the darkest fight
The fight of a thousand years
The pounding of blood
- Exile
I'm light years away
You can't change me
I'm passive and cold
Just waiting
I've seen the future's threatening sky through dreams at night
I've seen the dogs of war let loose I've seen the blood-red sky
Night
- Fate
Fate
I've been trying to participate
in masquerades
The throne's been empty for too long
Paradise for those who play along
and the fortunate ones
- Hatred Grows
Out of the dim
The ships were closing in
Warriors...
Worrying...
Painted to kill
Kill and be killed
More than fight to survive
I'll give you strength to continue the fight
- Heretique
Let us be the ones
to put the thorn in thy eye
...let us be the ones
Squalid the weak stumbles
through all of life's obscurities
Lost in sacrilege
Revere the name
Accept the modesty
- Lavender
All we'd say
Means nothing today
Foolish eloquence
We're silent again
Far will be farther
And now will forever
Be too late to mend
- Libre
Music: Anders Høyvik Hidle & Einar Moen
Lyrics: Kjartan Hermansen
Encapsulate the night!
wrap up the truth in candy-striped paper
and throw us a blood-sodden
torn and holey
rotten through the core
- Lost
Music: Anders Høyvik Hidle & Einar Moen
Lyrics: Pete Johansen
Hard … I’m harder than the life I’ve lived
Strong … I’m stronger than the pain you give
It’s lost … So lost
The world you’re in – The life you live
I see the lies
- Lotus
Лотос
В утренних слезах
Бесконечного неба
Путь, что тебе мил
Указать могу лишь я
В утреннем свете
- Magical Fix
I've been marooned in the mesh of the mind andthe flesh
Misguided by bliss and seduced by the blessed
The more I taste their chaste embrace
I'm dying to leave
I've been bruised by the Beast, kept opponentsappeased
By keeping up the flame, now my soul is released
It's all arranged, my body stays
- Mercyside
Music: Anders Høyvik Hidle, Einar Moen & Waldemar Sorychta
Lyrics: Østen Bergøy
You can hate me for
All the things I do
You should let my heart go
Whatever you decide to do
You can make me bleed
- Midwintertears
Shadowcast upon my heart
endark... thy bleak midwintertears
condemned to mourn in silence
The pale moonrise in her eyes
Serene... like a frozen stream
the flowing beauty in thy tears
I crave for thee my once beloved
- My Lost Lenore
1.For thy promise bewailed.
By her raveneyes.
By her beauty and a scarlet sunrise.
May thy river bury her silvertears.
A fallen angel... enshrined in moonlit seas.
Leaving vitality.
So sirene breeds my darkness.
Entreating winterwinds.
- My Lost Lenore.
For thy promise bewailed
By her raveneyes
By her beauty and a scarlet sunrise
May thy river bury her silvertears
A fallen angel... enshrined in moonlit seas
Leaving vitality
So serene breeds my darkness
- Of Ruins and a Red Nightfall
Life gains intensified pain
to ascend within me once again
Woe strikes through radiant light
a quitus has conquered thy eyes
the sequel of life
Arising grievance rage through the eyes
of our existence a thousand times
The strife drawn hither as a daydream
- Open Ground
Digging in the ground
Digging in the mud
Sweat streams down my face
My spit tastes like blood
Hide me with locks from your hair
I cannot breathe
- Opus Relinque
Challenge my own world to chaos
Thoughts to mind becomes my arch enemies
Skin to teeth... visions appears to me in red
Scouring my wounds with your spit
Down in apathy which is growing
Once dragged down within a mayhem of light
Skin to teeth... ripping my inwards apart
- Pale Enchantress
Dark thou embrace my bleeding heart
my dreams uniting our tearful eyes enchanting
At night I kiss the serpent in thy tears
For years thy sorrow I've mourned
Harken my moonchilds cry
Yearning for another night
Mourning my once beloved
- Patriot Games
I go where I’m sent
Twisted and bent
These facts I relate to now
I live by the sword, serving my time
Bloodstained and deadly now
Now there are things yet to be done
To shoot the monkey off your back
- Protection
There's a maze
Of nights and days
You don't fear the time
Stars and sky define the road
And they clear our sight
I will be your eyes and ears
Walk with me tonight
Somewhere ahead the gate is open
- Requiem
As lights go off one by one
When things unsaid
Are piling up
We still can't forgive how
We could forget
To dare to risk to regret
The drone of all the fools will rise and fall
Had enough but want more
- Sacrilege
Millions crusading against mocking heresy
Madmen race to enforce the book that answers all our needs
Tongues tuned with razorblades teach us divine misdeeds
Our clerics will kill to make us stay down on our knees
Another war is over
And the pain is almost gone
Each wound has been healing
We're so eager to move on
- Sanguine Sky
My blood is tainted; azure blue
A setting sun bleeding
Into an ocean of tears, for you
It's an exodus from the dark
The night is breathing; the night is exhaling
Falling, falling -- up a staircase
Towards the moon, the stars, and a Venus-kissed Mars
- Selling Out
Am I alive?
Feels like dying
Down, down
Fists are striking me
It gets so dark
Or are my eyes blinded?
Down, down
Boots are kicking me
- Shadowman
At night - asleep
Nightmares - not dreams
Drag me through the dirt
There is no place to run - nor hide
He's in my blood
I try to keep him out
He rules the pain
- Tender Trip On Earth
Another day
The next page
Still in daze
Still in a dream
Out of the pipe
My lust for life
Comes and goes
From above
- The Gate
An army of ambition
is moving
and it shakes the ground
Ten thousand hungry hearts
with iron heels
Burns and rapes
Sucks the earth dry
Cuts and slays
- The Modern End
Camera angles
Decadence of a dying world
Matchsticks
Long dark corridors
They've got the urge to die young
Deepbluelettering
- The passing
Feel, my hands are turning cold
Time will fill this endless void
As the fires light the sky
At safe distance
I see fear
Chasing my deliverance
I cross the burning
- The Ravens
Only ashes and bones remain
My hair is wet, my eyes are sore
The past has been fed to the flames
I cannot breathe any more
I try to stand on my feet, but I fall
I try to walk, but I crawl
Live as we knew it is over,
And you are gone
- The Shining Path
The Shining Path
Don't care if I choke....
Sacrifice me for my sins
For my beliefs
Spit at me
Die...with me
- The Wretched
Welcome, my friend
(Now) It's you and I
Do you sense the eye that watches you?
Can you feel her muted scream?
This is our very own horrid dream
Can you hear her hollow cry?
From the other side
- Vulture
Birds of prey are soaring higher
Baiting their hooks
The more they fade
Dangling their lines
The grimmer it looks
Transparent creatures
Pollute the blue sky
- Wasteland's Caress
I mourn thee by dusk
I mourn thee by dawn
Crave for thy gloss
to seek the silent glades beyond
precious a glance
thy veils now unfold
tearfull she dance
into this nightfall I behold
- Wormwood
"Полынь"
"...Третий Ангел вострубил, и упала с неба большая звезда, горящая подобно светильнику, и пала на
третью часть рек и на источники вод. Имя сей звезды полынь; и третья часть вод сделалась полынью,
и многие из людей умерли от вод, потому что они стали горьки..."
Я видела Божьего не рожденного сына,
Играющего с заряженным оружием.
- Year of the Rat
Music: Anders Høyvik Hidle, Ole Vistnes & Mariangela Demurtas
Lyrics: Østen Bergøy
There’s a way just walk the line
Keep your direction
And read the signs
Just play the game or fade away
Make your confessions and book a ride
- сирены
He couldn't get out of bed in the morning
He thought it was just a drag
So into his hollow mind he was calling, into his hollow mind
March on you fools and keep the line
March on you fools don't fall behind
From the distance through the silence
If you listen you hear sirens
