Where the Gloom Becomes Sound
Det är som mörkast före gryningen De alla har slutat andas och luften står still Ur stålet strömma en motståndskraft Som brutit fasornas sigill Who let it in, this fiend They got entwined in the stuff of a dream Whence came this shadow Spreading its wings As the dance of death begins And so he plays the tune As frail as the midsummer moon Among bellflowers and devil's bite With a song of doom That black shadow loomed - I remember now With a song of death It led their souls to rest - I remember now They were led by the devil A procession in blood A dance in the absence of god Unholy force released The power of his spell unleashed By strange chords of blasphemy As the serpent move on through the night Moving away from the light Their skeletons a blistering white Those wounds will never heal Leaving its mark so surreal With a song of doom That black shadow loomed - I remember now With a song of death It led their souls to rest - I remember now They were led by the devil A procession in blood A dance in the absence of god I remember now... This is their requiem A dance in the absence of god With a song of doom That black shadow loomed - I remember now With a song of death It led their souls to rest - I remember now They were led by the devil A procession in blood A dance in the absence of god I remember now... This is their requiem A dance in the absence of god

Phantoms haunting me Specters in the night Making me stare into the eyes of death Bleak and mournful Deities in disguise Whispering curses with icy breaths From the shadows they come Relentless, their will be done And all that you hold dear Is bound to crumble And come to dust And come to dust Priests of sorrow Ushers of despair Wraiths sprung from where the gloom has sound Leaning down from above Their faces close to mine Slipped into this world from below From the shadows they come Relentless, their will be done And all that you hold dear Is bound to crumble And come to dust And come to... Dust Ghosts are haunting me In the dead of night Making me stare into the eyes of death Awake and in dreams alike In the hour of the wolf I open my heart to their dark caress

As I chased a ghost from a feverish dream I got lost as I fled from the sun Through an endless night I walked alone The last hope I had clung to was gone And the wind, the trees, and the birds in the sky Had all become silent as death From the ground rose a foreboding smell And fog appeared to ascend Then I froze in my tracks and looked up When I realized that this is the place where I die Into the river I stepped and bade This age one last goodbye May I drift away in Acheron's swirls May my body be one with the earth again As I travel from world to world The black water so cold to my skin As I sigh and exhale my last breath My lungs are ash, my mind is void Now I am waiting for death TO THE UNKNOWN WATERS AHEAD Now as I sink I look up to the surface And oh! what a sight to behold! Blessed be the unfortunate ones That hear this dirge of a dying soul

The Goddess opened her ear to the great below To her sister, the Black Widow, she wants to go Through the seven gates of hell she must pass alone And give up her sacred powers, her throne So there she stood, before her kin The Mistress of the black deep, her twin The Queen fastened on her the eye of death And the Goddess fell as her spirit escaped her flesh The Widow then cried out in birth travail The lament was heard, her wrath appeased Sprinkled on the corpse, the water of life And the Goddess once again would rise Complacent spouse sent to take her place INANNA, born again with demons' grace

Haunting spirit, hear these words that I proclaim I will guide your journey And you will have your due of flames Accept my humble sacrifice of the chosen few Slain and flayed before the pyre I'll make your wish come true The beautiful dead that surround me now Burnt black by the fires of death The beautiful dead that surround me now The transition through flames into the night As the fumes rise from the funeral pyre Oh, immortals hear my call, I've shorn my hair and lit the pyre The stars shine and the fires cast light on the mournful choir Winds, I summon you, from the north and from the west Gather to feed flames, come forth to greet your guest Blood is shed The wine is spilled Bellowing smoke from the tripods No words unsaid The deed fulfilled An offering to the gods Gathered now the burnt remains A stark reminder of the pains On the road to immortality Where lesser men would die The rites are ended on the morrow The bones interred beneath the barrow Enshrined in gold forever more Pray Elysium awaits, and the names go on The beautiful dead that surround me now Burnt black by the fires of death The beautiful dead that surround me now The transition through flames into the night As the fumes rise from the funeral pyre

On the first night I called to the DEVI The power at the base of the tree On its roots a dragon was gnawing Longing for its chance to be free From the earth She was sprung, the support of this world To whom we're all but the image of a child The destroyer of safety at the threshold of the path The road that will lead us into the wild On the second night I bathed in the waters Soaking up the dripping juices of the moon I found the stream of blood and I pleaded Please, grant me my wished for boons On the third night as I sat by my fire While inviting all the denizens to my side A city of jewels appeared before my eyes And I prostrated before my deathly bride Leaving the shelter for the great wilderness From birth to birth you have walked by my side Leaving the shelter for the great wilderness The place where the worlds open wide On the fourth night as the wind rushed through the tree I was ready to dispel my fears You rode up to me, with a noose in your hand To the unstruck music of the spheres Leaving the shelter for the great wilderness From birth to birth you have walked by my side Leaving the shelter for the great wilderness The place where the worlds open wide On the fifth night I heard it, as pure as white snow The seed that is clothed in space And at the seat of the lover and the beloved I humbly received their grace They call Her the one with the earrings Ascending from terrestrial planes Now standing straight, a mirror was made Now fit for the great wild plains

Down ever turning spiral For a call I meant to heed The air is stale and the ground sighs deep Souls of the eternal brooding gloom Start to scream as the walls start to bleed Everything that is falls apart The shimmer of illusion, removed And before my feet, an abyss! Summoning The shadows come alive Creeping forth from the deepest sense of solitude Watched by a thousand eyes Dragged down to the bottom of despair Angels' trumpet sings with the Devil's horn Between two worlds the Dhampir is born I have stopped Frozen in the staircasе Deep below the earth whеre nothing grows These stagnant walls of mold and stone Trying to forestall the passage of time This somber hole, where death is all The shadows come alive Creeping forth from the deepest sense of solitude Watched by a thousand eyes Dragged down to the bottom of despair Angels' trumpet sings with the Devil's horn Between two worlds the Dhampir is born The time has come to go on Alone So I slowly turn and start to climb backwards To become I'm coming back To the moonlight To all To all dreams profound Reaching out for the firmamement To dance on unhallowed ground Under the stars My will be my very own wings and carrier To mount the walls of deliria And I bear them The voices of the dead They cry Gods of death, I invite you in To reveal which path is hollow And break my heart Grief, cleanse me! I am destroyed! But also ever so whole through gifts you bestow Clear inner vision of the art of letting go Somber night An abyss gaping wide without end Great halls of absent light Deep below the earth I died and was born again From the deep they rise Revenants, angels turned to devils Blessings turned to plague Death comes slow under the guise of hope Dragging you down to their grave Woeful specters Feeding on your spleen Eats away at your soul Ever gnawing at your bones So fly! Transform! Become! Transcend! Somber night An abyss gaping wide without end Great halls of absent light Deep below the earth I died and was born again Winds, fill my wings O mighty spirits! Ascend! Rush through me, phantoms of the deep The harvest scythe returned and went away Faster, rising up the spiral to the nightly abode A pathway is formed A way through Night fades to dawn But dreams never end Sorrows blown away by the winds And from this tomb to the sky I ascend Never to return again
