Look For Yourself Lurking in the shadows In this foggy night When I turn around the corner He´s always there in sight Figure dressed in black Wearing a thick cloak His fade is hidden by a hood The night it seems to soak Nine days I´ve got followed him Nine days my life´s been haunted Does he mean any harn to me? What am I to fear? "Look for yourself", says the man in black "Look for yourself, shadows hide your past" What do these words mean? Meaning so unclear May it be my life is not what I´ve always thought? This thing can´t go on Am I getting insane? If I am to get hurt At least I will know his name So tonight I´ll wait for him Shall I live or die I´ll win my fears and face the man Whether it is talk or fight All these days you´ve keep following me All these days you´ve been haunting me I am not afraid no more What do you want from me? "Look for yourself", says the man in black "Look for yourself, shadows hide your past" What do these words mean? Meaning so unclear May it be my life is not what I´ve always thought? All my life I´ve left like something was missing All my life I´ve thought something was untrue

Starvkirken In the far and cold land of Norway Up there in the rainy Bergen town This is where my family came from This is where my roots have been planted The local church has got a big archive With the names and the stories of the families I went there to meet the local cleric I asked him to help me look for myself I went there to meet the local cleric I asked him to help me look for myself "I am sorry son, but no Nidhugsen family Left for England twenty nine years ago And no Michael Nidhugsen has been baptized here About that many years ago" I feel so confused now It seems my identity has been erased I feel so helpless now In the land I thought it was my own I feel so selfless now Where should I go searching for truth? I feel so confused now It seems my identity has been erased I am walking along the harbour Through the old wooden houses of the Brygge All of sudden, there is again My mysterious persecutor in black I stop and look at him in fright Why did he follow me this far? "You better go looking for yourself Outside the walls of this town" So out I walked, following my instinct Hearing a call with my mind´s ears I reached a wood and there I found The old Fantoft wodden church I stepped inside and I fell on my knees Looking at the altar, a vision had I My spirit is singing My joy is arising The texture of my dress Is made of pure light With all the happy souls Gathered around me All along we´re singing Cheering for his glory

Nuntius Daiboli "You have behaved yourself Isn´t something starting to be clear? But what you´ve just found out is not enough Move to Italy, and somebody there will give you good advice" Hearing the sound of my own steps Echoing through the streets of this baroque town Through these elegant buildings in this night I am a lonely wanderer with no direction That old building seems to be calling for me So I find my way inside of it A little wooden door leads to its cellar From the bottom of the stairs, a dim light shines Dressed in black and chanting Around a fleshly altar standing Candles burning, they take my conscience away I am the night that flows in you The whisperer in the darkness Free t oroam wild, hunting for souls Revelling in the flames and the sreams The demon awaken, my presence revealed The congregation is coming to me Better run as hell, look for a way out Finding salvation up there in the streets I am the night that flows in you The whisperer in the darkness Free t oroam wild, hunting for souls Revelling in the flames and the sreams I am the night you´ll come to fear Rejoicing in rape and murder Feels so good while my nails scratch your flesh Making your soul and mine unite The diabolus is he And his Nuntius am I

Golden Cage This flesh that burdens you´s not one of my faults As a matter of fact, my kind can´t have any Pure light is the texture of the cloth I wear And together we sing of Heaven´s glory We follow every step you take, to protect your life And every pain that hurts you we try to soothe Guarding and protecting all God´s creatures is our mission And our hearts never feel anger or grief that grip and rot at heart Your human hearts My existence is a demostration of perfection and purity All the emanations of the love that gives us life Are the holy light we reflect on you The meaning of my life is the meaning Of the endless love that gives me life The meaning of all the people´s life Is a challenge they have to face everyday Maybe there is something I am missing, something I am deprived of Is my absence of desires a subtle chain to hold me down? Light as air, pure as sky Am I imprisioned in a golden cage? Free to be, forced to be free A mighty power keeps me trapped here

Summon My Name Gloria in excelsis Deo And lust to those who rejoice on earth It is better ruling in hell Than bowing your head in heaven Power flowing in my veins like liquid fire Desperate affirmation of the self Proud, strong and tall I stand on my own No one can tell me how to behave Only my image to glorify No use in wasting your love on ingrates Just say the words and I´ll be there Smell the incense, let me smell the blood Inside the unholly circle we´ll be one Desperate affirmation of the self Proud, strong and tall I stand on my own No one can tell me how to behave Only my image to glorify Summon my name, eternal delight Summon my name, Fulfil your desires Our flesh and blood will be as one All our blackneed souls will be as one Am I the black messenger of my rage? Am I asserting my identity? I feel like everybody´s using me Just a puppet in the hands of a twisted master Desperate affirmation of the self Proud, strong and tall I stand on my own No one can tell me how to behave Only my image to glorify Summon my name, eternal delight Summon my name, Fulfil your desires Our flesh and blood will be as one All our blackneed souls will be as one

The Rage Inside My Heart I´ve just found out that I am able to love I´ve understood I´m afraid, I can´t help it All these years I spent to make up my identity, were they useful? All I know, I understand now who I am Forgiveness, the strengh to go on Every moment spent to find a solution Ther is no way out, I´m tied to my energy and to what I know The heavens expect from me I don´t know how long I´ll be strong I love myself, I hate them, I´m always provoked Blamed, I´m paying for a wrong decision I´ll leave them to their destiny Can I ever kill them? No more people around me, anybody could overwhelm me I need people around me, I thought they were my friends But they turned their backs on me The rage inside my heart gives me no peace anymore The fear of being nobody kills me Another myself is waiting for me The rage inside my heart can destroy you unmercifully Delusion, the road I walk on Ancient fathers, what am I blamed for? Who set my runes in such an unfavourable manner? What guilt has stained My immortal soul in the beginning of times? All these people around me, I´ll get in a cage to show them I am free Love and pride rest inside me, and I can set my other self free The rage inside my heart gives me no peace anymore The fear of being nobody kills me Another myself is waiting for me The rage inside my heart can destroy you unmercifully

Unforgiving Soul It is all so clear now That I decied I wanted to be a man Not inmortal, I won´t cheer for his glory Or be the black messenger of my rage When I see the man in black again His face is a mask of delight and joy "My name is Adoné, the only angel Who is still your friend" "But an unforgiving soul is the reason Why you forgot your identity and your name You can join the infernal swarm, but if you leave You´ll never be forgiven by an unforgiving soul" "I followed all your steps Since the day that you were born again For your third and last time As the mortal Michael Nidhugsen" "I gave all the money you needed To pay for the orphanage and the school ´Cause even if I doubt you´ll ever come back This is what a guardian angel´s for" "But an unforgiving soul is the reason Why you forgot your identity and your name You can join the infernal swarm, but if you leave You´ll never be forgiven by an unforgiving soul" It has been a deed of love It has been a deed of pride The day I decided that I wanted My dreams to be made of flesh and blood Turning my back to heaven and hell To find a way which was my own If all knowledge comes fro mthe lord May it be that I am the lord of myself? If nobody asserts themselves with impiety And the roots of the righteous will never moved Have I planted the roots for a higher tree to grow?

Love And Pride The life I´ve got this time is mine No claws or feathers on my wings I´ve changed my skin one last time Love and pride were the springs Walking in the shadows I can feel the night It´s got no more dangers for me ´Cause the danger was me This flesh has started burdening me A body to carry my spirit around My spirit does no longer sing ´Cause the song used to be me Will you let me, won´t you let me Be the voice that speaks in you Put a drop of black, add a hint of white The picture´s now complete Will you let me, won´t you let me Be the voice that whispers in you Paint your heart black, stain your soul white I look in the mirror, what I see is myself An ark of flesh to acknowledge my name Nevermore torn between above and below After a fight between love and pride All the time my spirit is singing While I whisper in the darkness Light as air, eternal delight All is finally in me as one I´ll face the challenge to live every day I will dream of myself everyday So that all of my dreams Can be made of flesh and blood Will you let me, won´t you let me Be the voice that speaks in you Put a drop of black, add a hint of white The picture´s now complete Will you let me, won´t you let me Be the voice that whispers in you Paint your heart black, stain your soul white I look in the mirror, what I see is myself An ark of flesh to acknowledge my name Nevermore torn between above and below After a fight between love and pride The sun is my father The moon is my mother I will get inside their brown of darkness And find out the secret rhythm Crying like an animal Dancing ´till dawn And forgetting my mortal name The sun is my father The moon is my mother When I am their son again I will did you all farewell
