Between Wisdom and Lunacy

Strike like all heavens thunder Force a new day to begin – and that will be my will Teach then the secret of fire Unchain the Olympian flame Either be bound furthermore To the ties of the law Like a child full of shame, full of guilt Or to reign with the glad Only ruled by the sunset Under a sky no gods have built So it shall be written So it shall be done Illuminate, fan the lights of darkness Illustrate their master-plan Infiltrate, sow the fruit of knowledge To feed this starving land Set victory above all costs or victory'll be lost The self-fulfilling prophecy of Armageddon comes alive When the pages of the book of truth cut through flesh like knives And ancient names be told Who's names were lost or sold Elements of wind and fire, water and of earth I call your spirits to give this loam-formed statue breath and birth That with ambition and time it will arrange his life and path his own step's fate Then find a bride and found a tribe that will climb till heaven's gate We are the fires in darkness We are the pleasure, the sin We'll keep the treasure of violence Metal is our second skin We are the shadows of blackness We are the wisdom within We will discover the islands Where we'll be kings I will alarm thee the best I can When all my hopes and fears Are scattered by the wind – then I say I will alarm thee and it won't end Until the time has come To bid farewell and cheer a dying man So it shall be written So it shall be done Upon a throne of gold you'll be sitting Be king, my son Illuminate, fan the lights of darkness Illustrate their master-plan Infiltrate, sow the fruit of knowledge To feed this starving land Set victory above all costs or victory'll be lost Strike like all heavens thunder Force a new day to begin – and that will be my will Teach then the secret of fire Unchain the Olympian flame Either be bound furthermore To the ties of the law Like a child full of shame, full of guilt Or to reign with the glad Only ruled by the sunset Under a sky no gods have built We are the fires in darkness We are the pleasure, the sin We'll keep the treasure of violence Metal is our second skin We are the shadows of blackness We are the wisdom within We will discover the islands Where we will be kings

Out of the unworld rolls the train of troll and thurs We rig the black ship, proof the planks, set sail to Asgard's shores All winds shall carry along the lore about our course They're giants under arms and they bring war to sacred halls Again! Hordes roaring and pounding Attack the castle walls with no remorse Out of the deep Their horns still resounding As arrows paint the skies in darkness While lightning strikes beneath We're born from fire and built by ice We lead that wilder immortal life So throw your storms upon me as if they safe you From fighting another round We will hunt six nights through dust And conquering your town We're elemental forces slumbering beyond So don't disturb our sleep, for we are known for odd response Now as the days get faster, don't forget too soon And put the tale of troll and thurs into a rune, my friend By starlit night-fires Jump from board and clench your fist to devastate the land Join into our choirs that echo through the hills and valleys Nature might strike back March! So throw your storms upon me as if they safe you From fighting another round We will hunt six nights through dust And conquering your town

Arise! On the oceans of time we have travelled so far Left the ages behind to discover the worlds Which lie beyond the reality of our sleeping minds Let the raging winds fill black sails up high May the sea is calm for our final journey Into the unknown horizon, to the dark side of the sun Midwinter – whisper of ancient ages Midwinter – my soul, my bride Midwinter – wisdom of forgotten pages Midwinter – the song of my pride We'll never break the oath of our left hand path That we have sworn one night when all the stars turned black As black as the blood flowing in our veins On the battlefield of our crumbling hopes We shall fight together against the prophets of false And tormented belief, let's crush them with all might! Midwinter – old yarn of drunken sailors Midwinter – the sound inside Midwinter – the spawn of battle that rages Midwinter – play the song as I die As our fortress fell As we heard the sign of withdrawal Corrupted, raped and humiliated By the plundering seed of the dawn Retreat in shame But an oath was sworn that night That we never forget – and we haven't yet To return to the foes of the light Now is our strength returning From an unholy bound And our army is yearning For hunting them down We have struggled through the fire That our enemy has set Just to take all those lives That the first wave has left We have overrun the ruins We have overrun the plain On a victory that's incomplete Abandoned, lost and slain There shall be a day of paying When they demand what we did sell We are waiting and dying To defy the fiends of hell Open sight on sea Land I love, my destiny Sky-like creatures welcome me So forever dead and free Storm-blessed landscapes of the wind Lead me where my road begins Early memories wave goodbye But I keep this song inside… the song as I die On the oceans of time we have travelled so far Left the ages behind to discover the worlds Which lie beyond the reality of our sleeping minds Let the raging winds fill black sails up high May the sea is calm for our final journey Into the unknown horizon, to the dark side of the sun Midwinter – whisper of ancient ages Midwinter – my soul, my bride Midwinter – wisdom of forgotten pages Midwinter – the song of my pride Play the song as I die!

What have I done? Well, I don't know The doubt of corruption Tears my soul I awake from my nightmare To fall into another one An emotion so painful and deep I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders What have I done? What really happened? Well, I don't know The scenery was just the same [Chorus] I cannot run, I cannot hide I should be strong, but I'm weak inside I'm made of rock, I'm made of stone Stand in the crowd, but I feel alone Caress and beauty, oh, she deceived me I fell in love with the demon of seduction Angel's eyes but wings of fire Rule my life, rule my desire How I long for her kiss Lips so soft and warm Sweet taste of malignancy Stopped my breath and turned me to stone [Chorus] I awake from my nightmare To fall into another one An emotion so painful and deep I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders What have I done? What really happened? Well, I don't know The scenery was just the same [Chorus] Monument of pain

Nocturnal poems and sorcery Our witches cast their spells Incarnation of the ancient ones Reborn through agony Thee, who are bleeding black fire Thee, who will crush the fucking liars Smell the stench of broken spirits Gathered in the deep Once covered their face in vanity Now cursed for all eternity Bleeding black fire Desecration of morality Despite the false betrayers Let's drown them in their sacred blood 'Cause this is our desire Bleeding black fire And spit upon the liars Become a demon of wrath and revenge To enthrone the serpent-tongued god March against the unworthy ones Obliteration Rise from beyond the blackest dimensions Enfold your mighty wings Spill your semen to darken the signs The last invocation Bleeding black fire Summoning of unspeakable And long forgotten creatures Guardians of forbidden worlds Come forth to rule thy kingdom We, who are bleeding black fire We, who will wait and admire The shadow cult is still alive Revival of the order To recreate what they once lost Expand beyond the border The dragons fly again

It was his last day in life The old man raised his head to the sky And called out the name of the father: God - when I die, I know it is your will But my last wish I pray to you to fulfil: I never possessed a garden, so give it to me And I will be your son again Thorns of ice (will never melt) On a stem of a rose And the icy blossom will - Will resist the winter-storms My dream had come true - the old man thought But god gave him a garden full of ice In despair the old man grew ?em with frozen blue But just one started to bloom A rose of ice with steel-blue thorns of frozen life With a snow-tear in his eye he stroke the plant But thorns of ice ripped his skin And his blood flew on the blossom It turned red - rose-red Thorns of ice (can make you bleed) For what (for your life's deed) Thorns of ice remember you All the time in life Thorns of ice stitching your skin Intoxicating all your blood Lower the eternal pulse... ...with his hands Full of freezing blood The old man raised his head the second time to the sky And asked again: Oh God, mighty God Look at my hands, full of frozen blood like a murderer! I never killed, I never slept, I never lived in sin But what for, you punish me - God, mighty God... Thorns Of Ice... So here is my answer, the voice sounded from the sky I want you to remember the time you lived your life Time spent, wasted on nothingness When you sow a second you'll never get an hour... So the old man asked himself: How much consideration I gave a rose in life?

One hundred wizards cast their spells – we walk on stage All lightning striking powered by the gathered mages One thousand trolls will raise their fists and move their clubs Destroying everything and devastate the pubs The air is burning, it gets dangerous up there Beware! While every demon born in hell will be unlocked We rock! [Chorus] We rock a dream without binding and blinding known front Then while asleep we could dream this great dream far beyond The end of the world Just one stop on a voyage we've done Set out on the storm For my friend, you know it has just begun Black shadows bouncing on the groaning gallery They're throwing trash upon the thrashing folks beneath They cheer out loud and interrupt their heavy rage While we move on and start to burn this fucking stage Those who misprize the love and anger we all share Beware! No one will ever bar the path on that we walk We rock! [Chorus] We scream for more and the berserkers screaming back We're at the pulse of night, we're pushing up the pack At last a thunder roars, an earthquake crushes the door Then murmur rises, something's happening on the floor Old dragon enters, makes some fun and burns some hair Beware! The day shall dawn and mister Death might watch the clock We rock! Amplified feelings – Metal-suggestion Enchanting, believing – Never to rest again We're on road to let them know this is Dragonrock! Amplified feelings – Metal-suggestion Enchanting, believing – Never to rest again We're on road to let them know we are Midwinter!

In the raven's shadows we march upon Once proud and heathen shores Axe and sword and shield at hand Tonight this ground will turn to red They came from far away across the ocean wide And talked to us in foreign tongues Of the pearly gates and the crucified one Of damnation and that we're gonna die: "My son, you better pray to our god Or your soul will forever burn in the fires of hell!" [Chorus] Warriors, come drink with me upon our final victory Raise your swords up high against divine hypocrisy We will never break the oath of our ancestors Warriors, come ride with me Let them know where steel is born With the serpent's tongue they promised us The golden hall here down on earth Those countless brave men who stood against them Were slaughtered in the name of their cross Odin! Guide us all as we revenge our brothers lives The time has come to let them taste our blades Finally live as free men again We'll never crawl into the dust of broken hopes For our families we strike We never turn away from our true and ancient spirits Never fall from grace again! We're the sons of the northern hemisphere Hearts of fire, souls of ice Like a blizzard chasing our enemies Let them feel where steel is born! [Chorus] Like a storm of fury we will bring Upon the raped and bleeding land To heal with metal, let fire be the cure Oh, gods up high … They came from far away across the ocean wide And talked to us in foreign tongues Of the pearly gates and the crucified one [Chorus] Warriors, come and sing with me Of brave man dying for victory! So raise your horns around the fire Knowing your souls will soon rise higher [Chorus]

Have travelled far throughout so little space among me And journeyed cross a restless sea They say the distances are nothing but a headache Had locked my brain and ate the keys As if they know what are the horrors that surround us They never face them, but I do As if they know at least of any of the riches Of the empire that I rule I have come to change all meaning I become a foe to all you, fools A throne, a prison – ah, just words for this dark cage All meaningless, my lord, a king in other spheres Amongst the billions unsuspecting and blasphemous Heaven-sent to reign with fear I have come to change all meaning Heaven-sent to reign with fear Amongst the billions unsuspecting and blasphemous I become a foe to all you, fools Blessed with wings of madness The visions come and go, the dreamlands disappear Merciless crown, oh, stab your thorns into my fear Serenely let me suffer martyrdom and pain With wings of madness – blessed within Oh, ghastly moments that I can't refrain from yet I felt betrayed and double-crossed When all hopes gone and all my love forever lost Oh god, I know you need me dead Oh father, pass this bitter grail over and help me l'm not the one to change all fate My son you are – be strong and patient Rule Messiah of the mad When a world turns to a dying place Nightmares in my hands And the earth's crawling down the walls I face Hold close, we're never frightened again When a world turns into oblivion Far, far from my hands Will you keep me from sanity or die again?

Deep are the wounds And deeper is the emptiness you left Silence can be painful like razors cutting my flesh I can still smell your perfume Which remembers me of withering autumn leaves Aaah, I feel your warm breath on my neck But I know, when I turn around There is only darkness Never again the mourning wind will caress your skin Never again the moonlight will be captured in your eyes And never again the cold rain will moisten your hair It shall now moisten the flowers I laid down at your feet, yesterday Why did you leave me without a very last word? Why did you leave me alone? Alone with my sorrow

Under the arc of a weather stain boards Ancient goblins, and warlords, Come out the ground, not making a sound, The smell of death is all around, And the night when the cold wind blows No one cares, nobody knows. I dont want to be buried in a pet sematary I dont want to live my life again, I dont want to be buried in a pet sematary I dont want to live my life again. Follow victor to the sacred place This aint a dream, I cant escape Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones, Spirits moaning among the tombstones, And the night, when the moon is bright, Someone cries, something aint right. I dont want to be buried in a pet sematary I dont want to live my life again, I dont want to be buried in a pet sematary I dont want to live my life again. The moon is full, the air is still, All of the sudden I feel a chain, Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away, Skeletons dance, I curse this day, And the night when the wolves cry out, Listen close and you can hear me shout. I dont want to be buried in a pet sematary I dont want to live my life again, I dont want to be buried in a pet sematary I dont want to live my life again, oh, no, oh, no I dont want to live my life again, oh, no, oh, oh I dont want to live my life again, oh, no, no, no I dont want to live my life again, oh, oh
