Black Swan
Album • 1998
Lead like lambs whose shepherd is blind following trails of the 'celestial' guide Unending search in the world absurd, blindly obsessed by lies Living in a dream, built up by a blind belief But Death will bring the awakening as the world will be unveiled Apart from their superficial pride In shadows grows the Faustian side Not blind, not meek - but released from laws to deny desires Let their seed be sown no more on our fields which we explored What we earned they stole or burned, yet now the winds have turned Powers to darken and enlighten are mine So made it be - This shall be the beginning of new time Unveiled are the curtains of light as we remake our kingdom unite And so we shall take the fields and lakes which were meant to be ours Stars upon shall guide us in these ecliptic hours The Serpent, The Tempter unveil the kingdoms laid beneath O creator of our race, I am the flourishing disease We are the ones who saw the truth behind their lies We are the twilight which killed their dawn, which harvests their feeble souls - we are your scythe Cast away their remaining might We rejected the light, we live of the night In our reign there is no place for them, we have already won the final fight

Godless and eyeless With a pristine word and a charcoal heart. Staring down from someplace else We speak like snakes We live like leaves We take like men We touch like thieves Standing under the oak, Under cloak and hood Down by the sea and under the waves it was whispered to me that nought was saved Over the Plains deep under the ground the night sung in my ear that all will be found Scaling the wall that hid all from sight our bodies grew weak our skin seared by the light So why is it now that all is undone in the age when the moon makes pale the sun

I stand alone, I await the moon to rise, the sun to set Memories filled with wounds and scars Like nails driven through my heart Night lays over me her dress

Fear upon the promised land, they know we are to come Arrival that shakes the ground and sombers the sun Like plague upon the feeble flesh, shadow upon their souls Prophecies of coming age which our swords shall bring forth In the horizon they can see darkened clouds gathering Our hordes they near, yet them they cannot see They will never see the dawn, our swords to bite their flesh Our seed to be sown to make their offspring powerless For what did they win on their quest to reach the sun? Enforced to partake the hopeless ride which left their will undone Desolated is the Eden, jewels of time have turned to sand and dust Autumnal wind sweeps the remaining life and the wintry kingdom will everlast Winds remain calm, clouds fall like rocks from the skies Dead are the trees, flowers covered with ice The silence is complete in my wintry paradise Autumn in Eden... I walk over angel wings and broken demon horns, The rebel servants shall be torn This kingdom is now mine, the mountains and the seas Flowers wither and die, wintry supremacy Into blackened hole in the sky the sun above has turned Frost covers the falling leaves as the heavens burn Nightfall over my kingdom as my reign thrusts deeper The dying paradise ...Autumn in Eden

A slow descent of the midnight sun, a fall from crimson skies The warm and gentle summerwind closes my tired eyes Dead I am not, yet dying at this long-abandoned field I can feel how my life falls with the first autumn leaves I hear the distant chime of bells, "The king shall die", they tell Is that chime from the Hell or from the Heaven whence we fell..? I only know, my rose and I, united in the outset of life Entering the night divine, to the new throne arise As silent as an owl's flight, the golden autumn arrives My rose seems to sense the time of our coming demise Memories of golden dawn, the divinity to reborn His seers slain, his slaves torn His body burned, forlorn I hold my rose against my chest to give it the last caress Together in emptiness, still ensnared to the flesh Tears freeze into my eyes as my rose withers and dies Unhallow, unite, both shall die, I greet the Death with joy, not cry Autumn rides the storm and spreads her frost-covered wings Invocating freezing scorn, deflowering summer dreams shadows dance at the Henge when the moon is on the wane where I got drunk of the tears on the leaves of wolfsbane The hidden eyes stare and await the wintry tyranny And the forgotten one is left to die under the leaves of dying tree for thee I give the "gift" of life which turned to curse with me set my body afire and our union shall be complete An Autumnal call, a whisper in the wind as leaves fall and let the cold in No earthly fluid, no water, no wine could feed my rose, my flower of life Where could we meet the keeper of lies when there was no path to the forbidden paradise In sin I reigned, still I feel the thirst In sin I die, with my hideous curse Let the wounds bleed, take my spirit to the unseen Like the beauty and the beast within, together in disbelief A sad serenade to fade away with the last rays of summer day Dead eyes welcome the fall And the spirit shall be free again Forgotten are the summer dreams, snow upon the fallen leaves Flowers yield to the frost and the angel choir screams A flame in the northern sky, the last sign of waning light Fades away to the grey as together we die The dismal cold infinity, silent divine tranquillity Drawn upon the pale landscape in our neverending dream

This track is instrumental.
Four there were swords, four there were men All were them clad in one (shadow) Four pints of blood, four hands together Four shadows were melt in one Four there were horses, four there were horsemen to ride under the mark of the Northstar One there was spirit, eight there were eyes to behold the sky of flames Four there were paths, four directions for all of them one to take None were there tears, none were there words But one was not to return Four thousand moons are to be burned Four thousand moons are to be killed Rain it shall freeze, freeze and fall until their paths shall cross again Under the moon my life slipped out of me Beneath the stones I lie my eyes opened Forever they shall stare the northern beauty Forever they shall behold the sky of flames Four will there be swords Four will there be men Four pints of blood will be bled again As I join them again As our bonds are made unbreakable Together we will ride forever ..to behold the sky of flames

Part I: the Sleepers Beneath (the Prophecy) As clouds descend from evening skies and the day entwines with night The wind whispers a lullaby once forgotten in time The song of this timeless wind was once buried deep But now it has risen from beneath from where Twilight's Angels sleep The Abominations of Evenfall lie awaiting the sign; A prophetic son, yet not born, in the womb awaiting his time The child he shall be born tonight, unaware of his might divine For he may be a guide to light or call the beasts beyond night It is said that if the child's alive there will be no night No disease shall steal a life and grief turns to delight It is said that if the child's alive, There will be no nightmares The horrors of the evenfall shall burn away like flares
