Ritual of the End

Lost in the haunted woods A macabre vision of the cemetery And a rain so cold that freezes to death The path to the Other Side appears We suddenly become the servants of darkness Under the moonlight Through ancient times in the icy forest Death shall rise Awaiting the rise of the northern storm At the heart of winter Dreams become the passage To the Underworld I saw the sunrise Now I see the sun die Oh my dear Moon Follow me until the end Silence as the wolves gather Inhuman eyes watching us descend To the unknown depths of the Earth Now hear the incantations from beyond There is no escape And everything is lost in the wind Hope leaves, life is fading away Death erases the last beauty in this world Triumphant as ever, with a sardonic smile Feel the cold blade that pierces your heart And all your tears fall in the ocean In an infinite black hole A new dawn of sorrow is rising The sun has never existed The very first light of existence appears Primal and pure, without any human destiny Feel the shame and melancholy Of thousand years ruined by men But the sun never existed...

Open your eyes They came to freeze your blood And give your soul to the evil one Convert all beliefs in you Capture the sins to satisfy his hunger So much grievance and melancholy Life is becoming living tombs Desolate black dreams And sadness to be the last feeling Take the last chance to end your life Rites of blood and unpure desires Extract the venom of God Infuse with black hate Clean yourself from the words of the false Behold a land (now) possessed by misanthropy Morbid ritual Darkening your soul forever Morbid ritual Poisoning your flesh Return to the somber past Dive through the abyss of your soul Burn in hell's furnace (You're) Turning into a bloodbath Winter is calling... The last grave is opened So much grievance and melancholy Life is becoming living tombs Desolate black dreams And sadness to be the last feeling Take the last chance to end your life Rites of blood and unpure desires Extract the venom of God Infuse with black hate Clean yourself from the words of the false Behold a land (now) possessed by misanthropy Morbid ritual Darkening your soul forever Morbid ritual Poisoning your flesh

The dark path appears in the forest It is the way to find the truth In an age where everything is lost in hate I'm lurking at the moon And heading through the fog Can you feel that evil presence Over your head and behind your back I will drag you under the snow And give your soul to the darkside Beyond the valley o shadows Underneath the frozen waters Lies a dark and vast snowland The kingdom of the underworld Face to face with your destiny (The) Choice to cross that line of ice Suddenly a strong scent of burning All torches light up again Feel the breath of the devil In your veins, in your flesh Possessed by unholy forces See the world in red Can you feel that evil presence Over your head and behind your back I will drag you under the snow And give your soul to the darkside Blinded by the cold nothern light Further and further in the snow Never believe the lies of mankind They don't breath here They will never live here In the snowland Carry the torch of sorrow and pride I am reigning since the very first light And my shadow is so huge Over all symbols of life That it swallows the most religious ones Now everything becomes clearer In the snowland

All these thousand deaths of promises Are but one to form our waste, our torture Our vast impotense, our deepest abyss within The frozen sword of midnight Into the last gleams of the dying light The cries are emplifying And that obscure nostalgy of what once was We are all lost The wind rises in the emptiness To clean the unpure will of men The wind that blew away the ages The frozen sword of midnight, The strongest, the coldest We are all lost now Awaiting the total darkness over the earth All these million eyes so aggrieved, so cold From the land under, beholding a bloodred sky Our numb existence, our deepest failure The frozen sword of midnight Our time has come

So feeble they have become Welcome to the last chapter Unholy devastation burning the world Like the red hell Emerging from the deeps And descending from the darkened skies Rotting through the flames Million burned corpses on the ground The perfect storm follows its way Through the last night of terror Life ceased to exist Through the infinite spaces Burn fire burn Through my immortal eyes Burn fire burn My vengeance is here A vision of chaos Taking revenge for the lost Burn fire burn My vengeance is here A vision of chaos Taking revenge for the lost Mayhem! Sky merges with the ground Taking their lives - darkening their last reason Diabolic scream from my emaciated lips That is Armageddon - this is the end The battleground of an extincted race A world put to silence And from below they please his desires Infernal damnation through pain So unpure - they never saw that (it was) coming All the signs of chaos were there

Bodies consecrated to the earth Spirit to the light Life can't be infinite Only pain is eternal Cry for the ruined time You've lost to understand The meaning of life will stay a mystery But you now have the answers about death
