LXXVIII
I am the shadow's darkness I am the sweetest pain I am the curse of heaven I am sweet tender hell I bring you cold winter Upon the mountains high But what I crave from you my love Will never satisfy As nothing stands before me I leave nothing when I am gone I come with the cold wind from north And I always must go on I bring you nights of passion Between walls made of wood And when I have to go I whisper "I thought you understood" Take comfort as I leave you one day I will return Continue where we left off You have so much more to learn Why is the night so brief ? What we could accomplish in a small eternity, two in darkness. The sun hidden behind the horizon. Forever darkness...

Wolves in the night searching for prey Children of darkness, choires of dismay Joining the wind in their cries in the night Haunting the darkness devouring your fright Feel me... As I draw nearer Look into my eyes Seek my desire What will you find beyond the fire ? Look into my eyes See my desire Darkness, deception, all that they hide Subjugation... Feel the blood pump in my veins Mutilation... Feel your body teared apart Asphyxation... Choking as death comes closer Desecration... Pray for the sun to rise again Feel wolf's desire in shadows so dark Playing with flames, as you light up a spark Feel its heart beat, look into its eyes As the blood falls it is delighted by your cries Subjugate to wolf's desire... Dark as the night, but inside a fire burning bright No sorrow, no regret, but yellow eyes you will never forget

I used to miss the cold winter-nights back then I waited for the day to pass so you would come again Remember how I fed you (those memories do stain) I always gave you more even though nothing did remain My world is black Black fire burns the night I greet the darkness With wide open eyes Cover me white, cold winter sky Cover me white as I take off and fly Cover me with your ice cold tears Near you I possess no fear I used to cry myself to sleep those nights so long ago Both day and night I longed for you, I never could let go But recently I realised that you were on your way As frost did spread across the ground I knew you'd come to stay One last time I kiss the frozen ground I wave goodbye to my fallen gown Winter, winter... at last you have come to set my soul free Black I was forever and will forever be Embrace me, I will touch you, the wind my elegy The children of the Great winter are mourning constantly

Hear my tale of tragedy: Faustus: "Alas, philosophy I have explored as well as medicine and law add to these regrettably my studies in theology Yet here I sit, a foolish bore no wiser than I was before No dog can live like this knowledge gained is far from bliss So I resolved my soul to free through blackest magic and dark alchemy" (Goethe: Faust) And from my library old I have this book which I am told Holds the key to strangest lands Places never travelled by man It will, no doubt, open my eyes through Hell I will finally find my Paradise The Fool: From browsing through this book I have learned that all that I have ever yearned may be accomplished easily with words uttered feasibly As long as I in my circle remain nothing can harm me, the demons are chained And with the next word I do burn The devils back to Hell return Faustus: As a fool summons a devil, so will I summon the Fallen Angel of Light And with his widom in my sight I will remain (both day and night) as happy as a man can be for no knowledge will be strange to me Of stars in heaven I will know As life itself I will explore Rain and thunder I do endure, likewise fire and ice the elements are torturing me with the only purpose that I shall see and know the wisdom of the lord Lucifer I summon thee! Mephistopheles: I have come to visit you this late (although your spells are out of date) To see who mocks the name of God he might be of interest to my lord Faustus: Then I will speak, and you hear this: In my search for eternal bliss I will give my very soul to you If what you claim is really true Then you will serve me loyally obey my orders accurately For me accomplish any task bring me the moon if I should ask When time is up you claim your prize: My soul forever absent from heavenly paradise As I do sign this covenant in blood from a cut in my hand My soul is not for God to claim I will have twenty-four years with maidens and fame And now I do enquire of you The secrets of life, of Oceans blue of stars upon the mighty sky of moon and planets far up high Mephistopheles: That is not for man to know as words can not tell what they are of and man cannot grasp what words cannot command for words are far more glorious than ever was man Faustus: Your tracherous lies are powerless You do not convince me, for I stress: do I not grasp love and hate, pleasure and pain, lust and fate ? I cannot describe these, yet I know that in my heart with fire they flow How I repent my loathsome deeds, these devils do not fullfill my needs... Mephistopheles: Faustus! I am not at all thrilled you try to escape, yet you have no will but to bath in all pleasures that flesh can give even though, as it appears, your virgin is a devil and now is the day of your fears I will collect what is mine after twelve years as day and night I gave you plenty (twelve and twelve is four-and-twenty) thus, what was thine is now forever mine

See the leaves wither, see the flowers die As animals seek shelter, as birds towards south do fly Forever my farewell is, forever will I depart Forever my soul remains black, forever remains my heart I do not hope for remedy, I lost all hope on my way And all I ever wished for was to find love where I stayed And all the blood was spilled, how many tears were shed As darkness falls upon the sky these thoughts return to my head Autumn... I welcome you home Waiting so long, always alone Autumn... the cold of the sky Now at last to die I do not attach importance to sunshine any more Or sparkling fountains that the youth is so fond of I love darkness and the shadows of the night Here I can be alone with my thoughts and my emotions I do not ask forgiveness, my sins are far too great I walked the streets of Babylon, I always turned up late I do not claim to be guilty, guilt does not suffice Wherever I brought hell, I took away your paradise See the leaves wither, see the flowers die As animals seek shelter, as birds towards south do fly Forever my farewell is, forever will I depart Forever my soul remains black, forever remains my heart Autumn... at last you have come Never again will I see the sun Closing my eyes, for one last time I kiss you and whisper "goodbye"

...og når mørket kaller går jeg atter inn jeg lukker porten bak meg, porten til mitt sinn jeg stenger verden ute, alene i min ensomhet jeg legger hodet på min pute, tårene faller, en etter en Å leve hvert sekund av et liv Å dø hvert sekund av en død Omsluttet av mørket, min lengsel og mitt savn Tidens hjerte slår langsomt mens blodet ennå er varmt Mine sanser har forlatt meg, kun døden gjenstår å se Et skritt i riktig retning på den lange spiralen ned ...og du forsvant bort fra meg, du forlot dette sted nå er det bare kulden å dele natten med og mørket finnes der ute, og vinden blåser kaldt mens tomheten vokser i mitt sinn forstår jeg at vi begge har forfalt Nattens blod har dekket meg, søvnen vil bestå Mørke skyer samles ingen kan meg nå Sanden har har rent ut av livets timeglass Timen har kommet , jeg vil ta din plass

To be lost in endless mazes with no thread to lead me home As violent waves of doubt embrace me (but for them I'm all alone) All mysteries I thought I knew Now wondering about life and death As clouds of thunder gather above me Layer by layer, my soul: Undress! What can we hope to feed the gods with when we do not understand Their need for something far beyond what ever came from hands of man ? And still we say our prayers begging to be heard in our plea But they have more important tasks to do than grant the wish of me At night's dawn the darkness rising Slowly eats the light away And dreams of forces from beyond that lives in veils of fright will prey On minds of sane that never wished to be entombed in madness' breath As they begin their slow descent at last devoured in dreams of death... Walked this endless labyrinth of chaos and of pain Filled with ancient artifacts of times far away Sorrow fills my soul, for a moment to behold The divinity of nothingness the truth at last unfolds...

Travelling this strange and dark dimension Awakened by the powers of the night On insanity's path I saw redemption Now I only see with the moon's eye Brief is the flame Burning bright for a moment And then never to be seen again All my life I lived in the night I found comfort out there All my life I lived in the night I thought I had nothing to fear As I gaze into the night I see two figures sublime As I gaze into the night I die a second time For a moment I stepped into the moonlight At last... I behold my nemesis The two cursed figures dissapearing once again The shadowless vulture... the carcass of no hope As I gaze into the night Too late to realise As I gaze into your eyes All they told were lies River cold, if I could be like you, flowing in the dark of the night Black and lonely you are like my soul immortal Without meaning, but in the great sea your journey ends But even then you never die

Sorgens sorte slør har senket seg over skogen Nattens eventyr skal fortelles nok en gang Skapninger som timer før søkte ly for solen titter frem fra fjellsprekker i glede over nattens sang Musikk så vakker og grotesk blir fremført der ved tjernet Langt der bortenfra høres fossefallets brus Hvisking i fra buskene og knaking i fra trærne Alt blander seg og går i ett med vindens spøkelsesus Du fremmede som nærmer deg vokt deg for skogens arme Med mindre du for alltid vil ta del i nattens klang Evig vil du sky den solen som før gav deg varme Aldri vil du settes fri fra mørkets kalde fang Når månens lys gir bekkens smeltevann gyldne farger Da skal du snu og løpe hjem hvis du har livet kjært For under mosekledde hauger eter mark og larver Fra restene av de som skogen grådig har fortært
