Lyrics

In Darkness (We Shall Be Reborn)

There on the fields of death we meet again
Surrounded by all the light – in vain
This is our fortune – this is our burden – this is our last home
This is the ending – this is absolution – this is our final tomb

In Darkness we shall be reborn
In Darkness we shall be reborn

The shadow gods call with a wolves howl

Oh great Akasha, let me rest
Under a radiant moon I pass your test

This is our ending – our last goodbye
Death is calling with his sweetest lullaby

Destroy my shell to settle my ghost
Carry me amongst the few of the lost
The knife is sharpened – my skin is free
O Mother Night – bring me to thee

In Darkness we shall be reborn

I've Risen

Through my eyes, with one hand
For my will, within a breath
I grabbed, owned… and brought terror to all the foreign lands
I took the precious gift of life… throughout any realm of existence

I have risen
I have risen

I gave life to thousands of sons and I saw them all fall before me
I ruled the weak, I ruined worlds in my endless decades of might
Uncountable is the amount of suns I’ve seen rise, pass and sink
Unnamable all the kingdoms I’ve seen, conquered and destroyed

I have risen
I have risen
For my will be done!
I have risen, between the strong, above the weak
I have grown up with demons and angels, in struggle and silence

(You still) see my tales on the wall of any grave in forgotten lands
(You can) see my shrunken temple, my body, once the house of a god
(You can still) see the statues standing on my kingdoms soil, showing my pride
(You might) realize my triumph above all flesh and steel, the god and devil am I

I have risen
I have risen
For my will be done!
I have risen, between the strong, above the weak
I have grown up with demons and angels, in struggle and silence

I have risen, between the strong, above the weak
I have grown up with demons and angels, in struggle and silence
I have risen, between the strong, above the weak
I have created paradise and hell, in my era of domination

Dusk Of An Infinite Shade

Fâşii de văluri negre pe soare se-aştern
Tu, lună-a vieţii mele înfăşură-te-n umbră
Vino, zână, fii crudă şi fii sumbră
Cufundă-te-n hăul urâtului etern…

..Fii tot ce vrei, fii noapte sau roşie-auroră
O singura-mi regină făptura-mi-ntreagă te-adoră
Şi-n mine orice fibră te-ntâmpină voioasă…
Umbre multe se-ngroapă adânc în noapte.

Ruini! Suntem un sânge, solemni în fiecare noapte
Iar carnea-i rece, străpunsă de-a ta umbră
Ma-mbată tot ce-mi dărui – dureri sau vis etern…

Robit de-a ta privire, din vraja ochilor îţi sorb
Tu mă mângâi pân’la sânge, cu ghearele-ţi (ca) de corb…

.. Şi-mi arde sufletul, esenţa, într-un foc aprins în inimă
De fiinţa ta nocturnă; dar tu-mi pari ca-ndepărtezi ironic
Adâncile zenituri de braţele-mi întinse spre negre infinituri…

Şi de fiecare dată, când luna, ea dispare
Când noaptea dă să plece şi umbre-ncep să ardă
Atunci, eu lacom, strâng regina-mi palidă-n braţe
Ca un muribund ce-n taină mormântul şi-l dezmiardă..!

Umbre mute se-ngropau adânc în noapte..

Favourite Sin

People go to church for the same reasons
The same reasons they go to a tavern
To stupefy themselves, to forget their misery
To imagine themselves, even only for minutes
Free and happy

…So I looked behind and beheld a pale horse
And his name who sat on him was Death
And Hell followed with Him…

(Pre-Chorus)
“Power was given unto them
over the fourth part of earth
to kill with sword, hunger,
death, and the beasts of earth”

To do all that one is able to do
Is to be a man
To do all that one would like to do
Is to be a God
(Chorus)
Woman, make a stand
Come crawling to my hand
Put away your fear
It’s only me, my dear

Man, if there were dreams to sell
What would you buy, tell?
Eternally, your favourite sin
Is pride that apes humility

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

Imensitate, vesnicie
Tu chaos care toate aduni
In golul tau e nebunie
Si ii faci pe toti nebuni

Imensitate, vesnicie
Pe cind eu tremur in delir
Cu ce suprema ironie
Arati in fund un cimitir

(Chorus)
