1.
Atop the mountain, they hold a sermon
 and as they speak
 Many gather around to hear divine words 
flow from gnashing teeth

 …And as we listen close, our ears had naught but hope
 Longing for our final throes, for now we all must cope

 In the sky appeared amethyst eyes
 beyond which, I behold a crystal kingdom beyond these lies

 Atop the mountain, they held a sermon 
and as they spoke 
Many gathered around, and ascended with those
 that we invoked

 Beyond the sky with those amethyst eyes 
I behold a crystal kingdom, where I now reside
2.
Döden, hon kommer för oss alla. En dag kommer vi att förfalla.

 Det är dessa tankar som ger glädje till mitt hjärta. 
För det heliga ljuset söker jag bara i svärta. 

I döden kommer jag att finna absolut frihet. 
Livet är inget annat än grymhet. 

Till drakarna jag erbjuder dig mitt blod. 
Må det rinna för dig som en flod
. Döden, hon kommer för oss alla. 
En dag kommer vi att förfalla.
 Visa mig vägen till det som är bortom. 
 Antända elden som är inom
 Till drakarna jag erbjuder dig mitt blod. 
Må det rinna för dig som en flod
 Döden, hon kommer för oss alla. 
En dag kommer vi att förfalla.
 Det är dessa tankar som ger glädje till mitt hjärta. 
För det heliga ljuset söker jag bara i svärta.

From mountain tops stream rivers divine
 Giving life to all those beneath
 A voice trickles down sailing waters so deep
 Yet it remains so out of reach

 The whisper trails off into where we dare not tread 
But the urge to follow seems to mean more than death

 And the chill in the air can be seen in every breath
 As I step into the circle, I feel the weight on my chest 

The world of the living further away 
I have left all the rest 
But of all things I that I have seen 
Not much will be missed

 The fluttering of wings
 The cicada sings
 A beautiful end for the night
 The gathering of rings
 The most precious of things
 An exemplary show of might

 The world of the living further away 
I have left all the rest
 But of all things I have seen
 I know that not much will be missed.
4.
I entered the cave it was a sight to behold 
A half-frozen woman all covered in mold
 She offered to tell me of a time before time
 Where the blood of the divine was consumed as wine 

I beseech thee pray grant me thy wisdom
 Reveal the arcana of thy crystal kingdom 
Grant me visions, the all seeing sight
 The spark in my spirit, Pray thou will ignite

 Nothing could take me away from her sway 
I’d rather stay here until I too decay

 Knowledge unyielding flooded my mind
 Visions of prisms all of them rimed
 Rivers of blood flowing throughout 
With many trees densely scattered about
 From the tree line came they who are
 Singing songs of the beauties of the dark 
Spilling obscenities of all they had slain 
Their bewitching lullabies drenched in disdain

 They live in the mountains amidst all the tree
s They bury the bodies beneath all the leaves
 From this wellspring, unending blood it flows
 From these rivers, they drink and bathe in their own

 Then I woke in dismay 
I begged her that I too could stay 
I gave her my last breath 
For passage to the realm beyond death

Dimma (Fog) 04:24
Fathomless waters, beyond the black 
I harken thy call to come back
 Abysmal depths, beyond the light 
I inherit the gift of thy sight From under the horizon
 The mist crept forth
 Engulfing our earthly bodies
 Refusing to take a form
 “Here under the horizon 
Lies a cure for this curse,
 Cast away your clay bodies 
I offer exalted rebirth.” 

Intangible existence, beyond the dark 
On thy path of thorns I soon embark 
Impalpable realm, beyond the stars
 Receive me into thy kingdom 
 For I bear the mark 

From under the horizon 
The mist crept forth
 Engulfing our earthly bodies
 Refusing to take a form
 “Here under the horizon
 Lies a cure for this curse,
 Cast away your clay bodies 
I offer exalted rebirth.”


6.
Behold the boundless essence It surrounds us all
 With my blood I encircle triangles As the wind she squalls 
Staves dance on the stones they were carved on With aim to enthrall 
När jag stirrar inser jag att livet Är så paradoxalt
 Neither here nor there do they dwell 
Sleeping beyond time outside this odious shell

 Listen close to the sound of damnation And its beckoning call
 Wrapped tightly in the shroud of those long past 
Embrace my glorious fall 
Burn me now in an act of purgation
 No remains at all
 Vi måste avsluta denna värld Så katastrofalt 

Neither here nor there do they dwell Sleeping beyond time outside this odious shell 
Neither here nor there should I dwell
I I should sleep beyond time outside this odious shell
7.
Exil (Exile) 03:19
Alone I sit in silence serene 
Everything, so beautiful
 From where I lie, no light can be seen
 Here I wait, so dutiful 
As I dream I cease to believe 
in a world so pitiful

 So far away, existence was never meant for me 
Inhale the suffering
 So far away, solitude makes me free
 All glory to nothing

 Alone I sit in silence serene 
Everything, so musical 
From where I lie, no light can be seen 
Here I sleep, so peaceful
 As I dream I start to release 
into a world so mystical

 So far away, existence was never meant for me 
Inhale the suffering 
So far away, solitude makes me free 
All glory to nothing

8.
As I laid there beneath the pyre
 I had nothing but to wallow in mire
 And experience agony, pain, and torment until I expire When the only freedom came in the form of razors across the flesh 
And in the presence of Death, with her I left

 Sailing through ethereal waters from plane to plane 
Of the many beings I encountered, they never had names 

As I set anchor on the shores of the dead 
I was greeted and a crown of bones placed upon my head 

As I sit here upon this throne 
Of crystalized blood and bone 
I no longer experience torment 
Now that I am home

9.
Glorious euphoria 
As I abandon the shell 
Flesh and essence segmented
 They now dispel

 Storming outward without the fetters
 that once kept it ensnared
 The life-force careens towards the source Free from despair 

Resplendent exaltation 
bask in all the beauty of Hel
 Divinity coalesced with spark 
sublime existence, peacefully I dwell
10.
While the moon was rising I noticed
 Reflections dance across the lake
 Maybe a trick of the light
 Although I know that these eyes 
Wish to see her face

… But this rotten festering world
 Keeps me from her 
And I feel no amalgam of words 
Will make freedom incur

 Lay me at the mouth of the river
 There I may dream
 My soul I must deliver 
To divinity’s stream

 As I drag the blade across my throat
 May everyone drink from I
 Then I’ll dream of what I want the most
 Then lay there and die

 While the moon was setting I noticed 
Reflections trapped beneath the lake 
Maybe a grandiose lie
 Although I still know this life 
Longs to take her place

 …But this rotten festering world 
Aimed to cease my transfer 
But I feel no separation of worlds 
Can keep me from her 
Lay me at the mouth of the river 
There I may rest 
My soul we must deliver
 And deceive the flesh 

As I drag the blade across my throat May everyone drink from I Then I’ll dream of what I want the most
 Then lay there and die


11.
Raze the lands 
In their names
 Then stand and watch the fires
 reach the heavens
 The starry sky 
Illuminated by
 Our blazes of glory

 ...And all those
 That run from our light
 Damned be them 
How sick 
How sick

 Through smoked filled lungs
 They beg for mercy 
As they turn to ash 
Until nothing remains
 Embers smolder in the rain 
Then it all fades to black ...And all those 
That run from our light 
Damned be them
 How sick 
How sick
