The Peaceful Dead

In the loneliness of winter When I seek penance for my sins I call upon my fate for mercy Oh let the king of diamonds win When the lords of light are with me I climb the stairs up to Ungol When the angel witch she soothes me I'm her witchfinder general Yeah Doom is the soul of metal Primordial and pure Doom is the true essence of living Immortal My cure When my heart is filled with sorrow And I wonder who I am I put on some ancient Trouble Some old Vitus Pentagram When my soul walks in the darkness Or life's hopelessness again Then I find solace I find comfort And I learn and understand Yeah At the blessed pagan altar He kneels the reverend bizarre And he calls me and I follow Into the doomed world of my heart There is beauty in the mourning So much truth and tenderness Let me celebrate the sabbath so black The rites of candlemass There is wisdom in the slowness In the rhythm is the magic In the air And I know I've found salvation In the music of despair

So cold this night Her shroud my grave Onward I march On paths unpaved A solemn sojourner Bereaved Alone Unguided on my way In solitude I roam No help No home Until my dying day I am a traveller on life's dark road A lovelorn traveller in search of hope No piece of mind No one to care This burden's mine My cross to bear

My love's long dead All tears I've shed I don't know why Don't understand Love's long gone by Just pain inside Don't understand Please tell me why I'm going mad So weak and torn A mourner sad In mourning of the death of love It's real Love's dead I see just black I don't know why Don't understand Hell's fire in my mind I long just to die Don't understand Please tell me why All right Yeah Lonely man on a lonely ride To a cold dark mountainside To a cold dark endless sea I'll mourn there endlessly

Did he die on the cross Was it all just a hoax In their faith built on lies What's the true lore of Christ Holy blood Holy grail Did he win or did he fail Tell me Are his children still around Will the truth ever be found Did he marry Magdalene If he did What does it mean Who wrote the bible For what use What's left to gain What's left to lose What do they know What they won't tell Women Are they born of hell Some blame the cross The Vatican Find hope 'neath the pentagram My friend Take my hand

- Pay no attention to these tears. They are the devil's tears. - Confess? Crosses burn my flesh I fear no damnation Deep within my soul I cry for black salvation Torture in my veins Pain Humiliation Spirits in my brain Bent on dark destruction Witch Bitch Break free from the chains of his control Save yourself Save your immortal soul I shall not confess The oath of the witch Crosses burn my flesh There is no repentance Onwards into death Hell my final sentence

Darkness falls Bleak and hollow Like yesterday Tomorrow Trapped my mind in life's sorrow I must escape I await the mourning of my winter dawning In my mortal hell A servant to the jackal With feelings cold immortal I bid my last farewell From countless wounds my soul is bleeding Nothing's left of all my dreaming Broken heart now petrified This day my memories stop burning And for me the world stops turning Living death I pay the price My soul dies Up high on black wings I'm soaring Into my winter dawning Follow to the abyss calling This is the way My kingdom is waiting A throne of isolation A scepter of exile No rites of blackest magic Could turn this fate so tragic I take my crown and smile

Fires of inquisition rage and burn Manic blind fanatics never learn Don't you see the flames rise to the sky Rising high to let your damned souls fry They won't change their minds They never will Now prepare to burn In for the kill For your sins Your blasphemies You'll pay It's your doom Your final judgement day Soon you'll feel the fire lick your flesh Scream in terror Pray for a fast death Curse their lives and curse their evil minds Paradise Salvation they won't find Burn them all Burn another sinner Burn Burn Burn Blindfolded Castrated by their faith Forcing upon us their holy ways

I don't know who I am What do I live for No living soul can answer me I don't know why I'm here I sure know nothing Isn't this life insanity Yeah This earth it must be hell A torture neverending A downward spiral endlessly Lost souls full of fear Haunted by angels Demons Mortals fooled eternally Have I fallen from grace forever Is there no hope for me I have failed Am I lost Is there no absolution Madness reigns And all the gods you worship are insane You don't know who you are What do you live for No living soul can answer thee You don't know why you're here You sure know nothing Isn't this life insanity I guess we're all insane

Depression pulls me down once more I know that this time it's for real Won't beg for help No final words A shadow I have become I curse my life I've tried to break free from the pain I hate my fate Don't let me live My song of suffering I give to you My song of suffering Anthem of doom Give me a reason To carry on Give me a reason Or hand me a gun I enter the void Through the gates of suicide The plague in my flesh Cancer of doom that you've called life

This life has left its scars and wounds Each day one more step to my doom I have no hope left All my dreams Fallen apart at the seams Take me down From the hateful living to the dead I join the peaceful dead I go To leave this hell behind I'll never know Life's dread When I join the peaceful dead Imprisoned Lost within myself I'm burning in my private hell All I wish for is Oh spare me Another life in misery Rest in peace
