MMIV Lacrimae Mundi

He, over the stars doth reign that unto wisdom can attain The soul of a man is nobler than the spheres The hunger thou has awakened culminates in fulfillment Reached the highest level of a mortal man that has ever been reached Let thy might carry over the seas, over the vast centuries “Do what thou wilt” will be the final law When thee feel the overflowing anger, satisfy thy hunger And take what you think belongs to thee Not the divine grace but your infernal might inside Pandemonium Not the divine grace but your infernal might inside Pandemonium When the dusk comes you get the urge to go on a hunt Meet the children of your kind and you will hunt as one Be their master and lead them to salvation To the garden of stone to sleep forever! He, over the stars doth reign that unto wisdom can attain The soul of a man is nobler than the spheres The hunger thou has awakened culminates in fulfillment Reached the highest level of a mortal man that has ever been reached Not the divine grace but your infernal might inside Pandemonium Not the divine grace but your infernal might inside Pandemonium Not the divine grace but your infernal might inside Pandemonium Not the divine grace but your infernal might inside Pandemonium Not the divine grace but your infernal might inside Pandemonium! Not the divine grace but your infernal might inside Pandemonium!

Hear the thunder rising – clouds gather in the sky Hear the wind whisper my name – the wind and pouring rain The autumn thunder roars in the north – darkness falls down the sky My very soul wanders free in the woods I hear the whispering voices again... and again... and again... and again... I embrace my somber soul like a lover at death I feel my soul descent to netherworld, once again The moon lights up the horizon – I embrace you sister moon Your pale beauty enchanting the sons – of all races to be yours soon A lonely wolf howls in the night – waiting for her to rise This enchanted night is their own – so cold breeze through the woods Hear the thunder rising Clouds gather in the sky My very soul wanders free in the woods And they call my name again... and again... oh (Hallowed be thy name) Hallowed be thy name, o’ mother! (Hallowed be thy name) Hallowed be thy name, o’ mother! (Hallowed be thy name) Hallowed be thy name, o’ mother! (Hallowed be thy name) Hallowed be thy name! Come forth o’ children under the stars and take your fill of love Time after time Come forth o’ children under the stars and take your fill of love Take what belongs to you Seething waters, dreary depths – Mother let the dark veil descent Reveal, unmask your face – through the darkest skies I gaze Set the sky ablaze Set the sky ablaze I drink your sweet tears from the fountains of eternal life I lust to see and feel more of your enamouring sides But I watch the night break in to the dawn I must leave now but I will return! (Hallowed be thy name) Hallowed be thy name, o’ mother! (Hallowed be thy name) Hallowed be thy name, o’ mother! (Hallowed be thy name) Hallowed be thy name, o’ mother! (Hallowed be thy name) Hallowed be thy name! Come forth o’ children under the stars and take your fill of love Time after time Come forth o’ children under the stars and take your fill of love Take what belongs to you

The drum is my steed, the wind my wings The mind of an eagle is my soul The drum is my steed, the wind my wings And my will is of frozen soil Far in the edge of night and twilight is a tree on which branches lies the souls of unborn And ravens, the bringers of light are guiding them into oblivion My eyes didn’t see, I didn’t speak when I was born Far north embraced by tundra My father said I bore the marks I was going to be his successor I watched my ancestors to bleed themselves to attain the utter consciousness To find the long-gone spirit to kill To ride the night again! To ride the night again! When the dusk comes I feel myself alive When the last rays of the sun have died Begun my ride through the darkest of nights As my will becomes one with the wolves... I feel the desire to haunt! I feel the desire to kill!

I can hear the flicker of flames and the seasons’ change as I fall through the forest floor I feel myself falling deeper – will I ever greet her? The entrance and the chamber door “Ah, I still remember – it was in the bleak December Each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the forest floor” They stretch their dead calm fingers – stood silent through long winters Ghastly and silent, casting their shadows now and forevermore Forevermore... Forevermore... Forevermore... Forevermore... Deep into the woods gazing – I stood there wondering Dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before But the silence was unbroken – no voices were awoken Embraced in darkness I fell on my knees on the forest floor Forevermore... Forevermore... Forevermore... I heard my heart beating – and the woods started breathing I could hear my whispers even louder I heard them before The whispers pierced my mind, the pictures in my eyes I whispered the tales told never before of the heroes of yore My heart is sorrow laden – this life is slowly fading I want to see more, feel more – please I implore! I still have so much to see – in these woods surrounding me Take me back to Draconian shore Found the ancient fanes anything so arcane, the time draws nigh, forevermore See the shadows dance in the night’s clasp on a star lit sky, nevermore The eastern horizon’s black turns blood – as I cry I can feel the closing dawn These nocturnal archways come – something undone But the memory of me shall remain forevermore... Forevermore... Forevermore... Forevermore... As I rise on my wings to fly – the zephyr brings tear to my eye This darkness I adore – further I’ll explore But the memory of me shall remain forevermore... Forevermore... As I rise on my wings to fly – the zephyr brings tear to my eye This darkness I adore – further I’ll explore But the memory of me shall remain forevermore...

“Caught in thy net of shadows, what dreams hast thou to show? Who treads the silent meadows, to worship thee below?” Thee who wander amongst the mortal, never see the light of day Thee who watch the storm approaching, the darkness calls thy name “Let the serpent tempt you to a sin, when the lowering sun dyes the crimson seas And let the ravens lead you there, where no angels dare to tread or dream (...sleep...)” Thee who wanders amongst the mortal, never see the light of day Thee who watch the storm approaching, the darkness calls thy name Doth thou know of Majesty, of thine soul’s nocternity And velvet seas, that caress the distant shores? Will they ever search for the truth known by the great wise ones? Will they ever find the truth, will they ever bleed the whores? Lacrimae mundi! Lacrimae mundi! “Whoever sheds the blood of a man by a man shall his blood be shed And vengeanced with the utter hatred... Whoever sheds the blood of a man by a man shall his blood be shed And vengeanced with the utter hatred...” Nightmares haunt thy sleep at nights... The laughter of chaos and scythe... Why thee did against me? None forbid, but thrusts to misery... This means war! War! War! And the world shall cry forever... And the world shall cry forever... And the world shall cry forever... And the world shall cry forever... And the world shall cry forever... And the world shall cry forever... And the world shall cry forever... And the world shall cry forever... Cry forever...

Into the darkest of nights, you shall drown As your eye meets the eye of the storm The gathering of the lost souls In the woods of unknown... Colossal rains bring down the plague Black raindrops fall down as a tear from the widow’s eye The eternal night upon the doomed landscape Moon dyes the horizon red as blood... The coldest of the winternights, frozen winter time The snow falls onto the black soil Covering everything under the sheet of silence This is my blackest dream come true The era of the darkmind is coming onto the world The weakest of the mankind, “it was told in the word” Shall be put to death in the name of the Lord I raise my fist to the sky “My God, hear me out!” Colossal rains bring down the plague Black raindrops fall down as a tear from the widow’s eye The eternal night upon the doomed landscape Moon dyes the horizon red as blood... The coldest of the winternights, frozen winter time The snow falls onto the black soil Covering everything under the sheet of silence This is my blackest dream come true Into the darkest of nights, you shall drown As your eye meets the eye of the storm The gathering of the lost souls In the woods of unknown... Unknown...

The ages that stir the dark waters of time Are surrounded by the enchanting woods of pine Oh thee o’ Northstar let your pale light lead my path Through these ancient times, these ancient lands... September’s fire lick the woods Making the nature burn in majestic flames Oh’ I embrace your infinite beauty The breathing forest that surrounds this path Standing on a hill looking down these lands o’ so might Under the open skies, where emotions arise... The land o’ so might! The land of thousand lakes! The land of bravehearted men! Deep eye of earth full of tears I look into you and see the reflection Of a mortal crowned with leaves and surrounding trees Old spirits of the earth having the feast of autumn There shall no mortal repose but stand enthralled by the beauty of immortal joy... The ages that stir the dark waters of time Are surrounded by the enchanting woods of pine Oh thee o’ Northstar let your pale light lead my path Through these ancient times, through these ancient lands Deep eye of earth full of tears I look into you and see the reflection Of a mortal crowned with leaves and surrounding trees Old spirits of the earth having the feast of autumn There shall no mortal repose but stand enthralled by the beauty of immortal joy... The yearning for immortal life thrives me forth to my Eden Your eyes still full of tears enchanting me The yearning for immortal life thrives me forth to my Eden Your eyes still full of tears enchanting me Giving me reason to go on, to go on to greet the paradise lost Snow falls from darkened skies as I wander deeper in the woods...

You watch their faces You'll see the traces Of the things they want to be But only we can see They come for killing They leave and still it seems The cloud that's left behind Oh, can penetrate your mind But sail on, sing a song, carry on Cause we rock, we rock, we rock, we rock We pray to someone But when it's said and done It's really all the same With just a different name So many voices All giving choices If we listen they will say Oh, we can find the way But we'll sail on, sing a song, carry on Cause we rock, we rock, we rock, we rock We rock, we rock, we rock, we rock We rock! We rock! You watch their faces You'll see the traces Of the things they want to be But only we can see They come for killing They leave and still it seems The cloud that's left behind Can penetrate your mind Sail on!, sing a song!, carry on! Cause we rock, we rock, we rock, we rock We rock, we rock, we rock, we rock Ride out, stand and shout, carry on Sail on, sing your song, carry on Cause we rock, we rock, see how we rock We rock, that's rock, we rock, we rock
