Alsvatr (The Oath)
Hark, O'Nightspirit
Father of my dark self
From within this realm, wherein Thou dwelleth
By this lake of blood, from which we feed to breed
I call silently for Thy presence, as I lay this oath
May this night carry my will
And these old mountains forever remember this night
May the forest whisper my name
And may the storm bring these words to the end of all worlds
May the wise moon be my witness
As I swear on my honour In respect of my pride and darkness itself
That I shall rule by the blackest wisdom
O'Nightspirit I am one with thee
I am the eternal power
I am the Emperor
Winds and storms, embrace us now
Lay waste the light of day
Open gates to darker lands
We spread our wings and fly away
Ye Entrancempirium
Drawn towards these lands again
Seeking death and sacred soil
I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul
Growing stronger once I enter my empire beyond
Emperium
Behold my coming
The fullmoon rise above me
Enlightening my realm in a silvery glow
Yet the shadows crawl beneath my storming sky
Guarding treasures from forbidden light
I still remember, through ages ago it seems
The first time I entered the gates
The revelation of ritual death
By which I became divine
Sacrifice of life I had among the flesh of the light
And now I enter again
Even stronger, yet amazed by what I see
In ecstasy I mock the world
Suddenly I memorize
Asking what I left behind
Nothing
Can I ever comprehend?
Will my longing ever end?
Never Drawn towards these lands again
Seeking death and sacred soil
I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul
Eternally
Thus spoke 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 Fear And you shall fall Weakness suffocates your
will Dare Yet never fail Wisdom guides the one The strong who can defy
Death So I speak Though, am I heard...? Wasting visions on a world of
blinded fools Still I scorn The vacant contradiction of life If only
to bewilder The final truth shall speak my name Thus spoke the nightspirit
Nightspirit Spirit Embrace my soul
Ensorcelled by Khaos
In an endless maze begotten To dead ends led by fools I sought a plague
For those who smiled at walls In humble fear Yet, billigerent ways came
to an end No war could ease my hunger By craving death I was To darkness
reborn No sacrifice too great Caught in another maze Truly endless Still
This maze is mine No peace for me No peace I seek My quest goes far
beyond No sacrifice too great Coaught in another maze Truly endless
Still This maze is mine I had the greatest fall Dark is the spirit of
my token Dark is my call Still craving Still torn Hear me master Of
this real to which I was reborn <<Bearer of my stigma. Thou are
of me Yet, claim no gift, but guidance. For I am the giver of temptation
Thou are the creator of Thy rewards>> The cosmic forces driving
me More noble, more free Love and hate and all in between I greet them
all in ecstasy Take me Venus Seduce me Mars Posess me Tear my soul from
sanity No sacrifice too great Coaught in another maze Truly endless
Still This maze is mine And I am thine
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 whats breeds within
Thee Alas, this agony The emptiness of earthborn pride Hath stirred
my faithful heart Which guided me to darker paths Far away from their
pestilent ways Cleansed was I from deceitful grace Yet, put to scorn
wwas I By those unclean Enslaved by ignoance They blindly spat upon
the deity of hate Awake is the darkest fiend By the fallen one I shall
arise Upon bewildered masses To whom the indulgence of my soul Portray
as sin made god I shall revile and quell the source Whence mockery of
my kind derive This I know Facile shalt my quest not come to pass Deathwish
be my gift to all at last Honour Commended no longer as virtue Yet,
shalt be extolled at light's demise By the fallen one I shall arise
Believer Speak not to me of justice For none have I seen By God, I shall
give as I receive Betrayer Speak not to me at all You and this world
ripped my fucking heart out Again... and again... and again...
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 Beyond
gods As gods recieved I float among them On wings once broken Now gleaming
black I share their song Of words unspoken Cries of the past In times
of fiendish tempest Bloodlust turns against the coil Hungry for the
fall I greet the pit Blind Savage Cursing Life Yet, at the moment of
my final step The hands and golden chains are given Bidding me that
which can not be deprived The bonds of trust and unity Till the end
Breathren and sisters of my circle I acclaim thee all When guiding stars
are clouded and deranged Fear not to take my hand The honds of trust
and unity As gods received Till the end
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 Cold stone Formed only by winds
and time How invulnerable Lifeless Ahh... I have longed to be at one
with this Yet, the waters call my name For once I wish to see The entity
behind the voice The face of this seduction The beauty of my pain Am
I blessed or am I cursed by thy presence... What is my crime... What
is my deed... Is this life my redemption Shall I repent or proceed I
hate my flesh It's dimension poisoned my soul with doubt It made me
question the essence of... The "I" Slaved are those of this
world Given freedom to lay chains upon The Master The wolf is no longer
free Release the chains and come for me
The Elder:
" Suddently, his mournful cries were stunned. Out of the cold mist
came threee enthralling ships. Sails torn by many a storm, and the bows
adorned by the most fierce gargoyles he'd ever laid eyes upon. Yet,
the crew they bore... Three times twelve in number. They stood motionless,
wrapped in grey, worn gowns. And from behind their shadowed faces the
seductive chanting. Bidding him on board. Without hesitation, he accepted.
And away they sailed."
Upon these seas Wherein I drowned so many times I scatter the ashes
of dignity Still my flames are in hunger With fire in my heart Shall
I greet the shores ahead Though, I know not what will burn Desire...
Ahh... In the distance I hear the waves wash over solid ground And in
this moment I am struck blind Grant me sight so I can see That which
lies ahead of me Cursed be my mortal eyes For dying in the realm of
death Hear my call... I return to the soaring cliffs They truly shine
of strength Evenb though, I nothing learned With strength I burn...
The Wanderer
