Covered by a bloody mask
This prison around my head
Suffocating my thoughts, killing me inside

To where the light dies
All is lost

The pain deep inside of me
Death, comfort that I'll never reach
Rain of blood
Screams dying in the dark

To the dark night skies
To the dark depths of mind
To the darkness where filth covers my face
To the darkness where my mind is dead

My weak cries fade
Behind the veil of insanity
Thoughts die at last
And my face is gone

I walk in my little black room
I hang myself in my thoughts
This darkness, my mind
Will suffocate its consciousness

2. Into the Dark

Everything is dark, my body is filled with scars
There's no way I can break these walls
Yes I've whispered to my shadow
It's face smiles to my ruin

With drops of blood I fall
In the shades of beauty I crawl
In timeless shape of dark
I cut myself again, and again and again

It's quiet so I can hear myself bleed
The surface is rising
This silence is haunting me
As my whispers run through my head
I can't escape into my thoughts
The pain brings me back to my death
I will breathe my poison
And with every drop I die

And so darkness tests me
With it's every whisper
Blackness fills my chamber
I inhale my cold blood

I will vanish in darkness
Behind these stone walls I've built
I will fade into my whispers
Drown in my blood

Buried in the ashes of life
Forever in the darkness of mine
Called from the dead of the night
Spat to the stream of death

Chains break my arms as black room is filled with blood
The cold whispering thought I can feel it suffocating my lungs

Blood deepens this silence
Before this night is done
I shall be forgotten
In the dark
Let this life be gone now
Let me follow my whispers
Into the dark

3. In the Name of the Black Art

In the heart of the winter
Circle of fire around me
Silent whispers in the wind
Shadows dance on snow

Rise now spirits from the endless night

I see the signs now
Written in the darkness
Words in the wolves' howl

The wraiths of the night
Screaming in the shadows
Cold wind breezes
Light of the moon reveals its sons

Let the shadows whisper thy thoughts to me
And let those whispers grow into screams
As my blood falls on snow
Look through my eyes
And cherish my black possessed soul

Share the secrets that have been hidden for eternity
Lay the blackness upon these frozen lands

Icy cold touch of wind blows through me
On the icy lake I watch the darkness spread

Let the darkness grow
In the name of the black art
Hail the night
In the name of the black art

In the fields of snow
In the loom of the ashen moon
I reach for the endless night
In the loom of the ashen moon

Black day arises
Black ravens fly
For thousand times
I've cursed the light of the day

I lay myself
Upon the night's cold hands
I throw my life
To the darkness

O' yes father I am yours
In thy hands is my life
Cherish me, embrace me
Kill me and let me be forgotten

4. Age of Darkness

Deep in the dark
Far in the mist
Warcry in the night
Hear the war horns

A black rising star
Glows above
And it's black light
Guides us through the night

At the edge of a storm they shall ride their horde
And the blades of their swords shall be covered with blood
As silence finally falls

Mist covers the pale bodies
As blood paints the grass
Wind carries the smell of death
As souls wander in the night

Silently from the dark
From the shadows of beyond
Cold hands of death
Reach out for fallen men
The touch of the unknown
The embrace of fear
The breath so cold

White eyes in the dark

Raise your swords
Blow your horns
Ride on the skies with beasts beside you
Let the darkness carry you and let your soul be filled with hate

Let the blood spill
On their holy land
Age of fear, age of shadows
Age of darkness

Moon shines above, hear the howl of the children of the night
Dark song for the almighty night

Continue your journey through a hidden world
Ride above the sleeping land bringing death
Age of fear, age of darkness

Far beyond
Deep in thy black dream
When there's nothing left of thee

5. Through the Burning Gates

Smell my burning flesh
From thin air
Watch the fire grow
As smoke arises to the skies

Black filthy soul, scars are too deep
Pulling itself to an endless darkness
White dying eyes behind the flames
Claws tearing the life away

Hope dies when blackness falls
Past life is lost forever
Soul is pulled to the flames
To the eternal agony

Where all my screams shall fade
Where an old hand rocks my cradle
Where I shall be curled up in embers
Where I shall burn away

So I'll reject my life
I will waste away
In the embrace of fire
Inhaling the poisonous air

I shall torch the skies
As smoke darkens the sun
And the land shall vanish
Under the flames

Death, death by black art
Blood, blood shall boil
Burn
Burn in the darkness forever

From the flames of death
I'll rise among thee once again
And the seas shall boil

Through the burning gates
I'll walk to thee once again
And the world shall burn

6. Final Arise

Storm growing around me
The world is darkening
Clouds above are falling
As the sun is rotting

Cut this life from me
Tear my soul into pieces
Spill my blood for thee
Impale my weak appearance

From the silence of life
To the raging sea of blood and oblivion
From the calm state of mind
To the fields of madness and hate

Under the dying sun
I will open the gates
Under the falling sky
I long for my death

Like the blood running out of my veins
My life slowly sliding away
My entrails turning and turning
My mind is twisting in flames

Newborn in the nightshade
Past presence is dying away
Awakening to the awareness
To fall, to die for the final arise
