ABYSSOS LYRICS

1. Masquerade In The Flames (Another Black Friday)

The dungeons are calling our names,
inviting us to a masquerade in the flames,
once again lust will spread its wings
and carry us through the northern winds.
Open the gates,
to where it's all supposed to end
and let us all in... daimons, whores, witches and fiends.

Swoop through the frozen landscape
of red memories almost forgotten,
In rapid re-run:
a crimson river of rich wine let loose on tiles.

Hideous sihouettes flicker in the candlelight,
shapes of evil, we are all born of dayfright.
Ever since the banquet I've waited for her burn,
might she be here, can this be the night of her return?

There, right before my eyes she stands, my dark witch.
Dressed in her funeral shroud, as black as pitch.
Carved symbols in black, scars that never heal.
All over my body, for a thousand years I bore her seal.
Come forth and lick the blood from my nasty wounds,
still so young though she's older than the moon.
Carved symbols in black, scars that never heal.
All over my body, for a thousand years I bore her seal.

She chased the moonlight out on the fields,
a dance most sombre and seductive.
She told me twisted stories from her past,
and said: - "take this stake and end my life, but do it fast".
Blood-drenched feathers against what's once been raped,
beautiful, innocent but still not too old
for what it is shaped.
How can you die right before my eyes?
I always thought you were one of us,
one of the immortals.

Open the gates,
to where it's all supposed to end,
and let us all in...
Open the gates,
to where we once were supposed to sin,
and let us all in...

2. Finally I Kissed The Pale Horse

At the top of the mountain
I saw him cast a spell
invoking the daimons with his ancient bell.
He grabbes his rod and threw it into the sky,
and denied the existence of the father of lies.

The angels cried in endless mourn, through the
night and til the dawn.
I watched their wings grown old, as the ground
turned to solid gold.
I slept all day under the three, that holds the
infernal key. The key of all wisdom, the key to the
long-lost kingdom.

And as the dusk fell over the mighty mountains,
He revealed the secrets of the ancient gods.
Their names, their seals, their powers, their marks.
And opened the gate to the darkest of paths.

Together we crossed the ocean of time.
He led me through the gates, all marked with the same sign.

We flew over the blackest seas,
in my hand I hold the key.
And as we landed by the great portal,
I finally kissed the pale horse, to become immortal.
We flew over the blackest seas,
in my hand I hold the key.
And as we landed by the great portal,
I finally kissed the pale horse, to become immortal.

And as the moon laid its light over mighty mountains,
We invoked the arrival of the ancient gods.
Using their names, their seals, their powers, their marks.
To guide us through the darkest of paths.

Now a thousand years has past,
we are ready for the inferanl blast.
A huge beast will rise up out of the sea,
upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

At the top of the mountain I saw him cast a spell
invoking the daimons with his ancient bell.
He grabbes his rod and threw it into the sky,
and denied the existence of the father of lies.

The angels cried in endless mourn, through the
night and til the dawn.
I watched their wings grown old, as the ground
turned to solid gold.

If it's the truth that has been spoken, I'll stand in
front of the gates wide open,
I'll await your arrival and shadows will come to life once more.

We flew over the blackest seas,
in my hand I hold the key.
And as we landed by the great portal,
I finally kissed the pale horse, to become immortal.

3. Where Even Angels Fear To Tread

...and as we entered the gate to where all mortal ends,
he just disappeared among the daimons and fiends.

Within the abyss I've felt my power grow,
power of pure evil, power from below.
Strength of the four rivers, I will lead the horde.
Join me and become one with the new lore.

...and as I entered the throne, the black flames lit
the hall.
"Crown him king, bring in the sword." The time has
come to and it all.

Finally I am ready to burn, burn for my neverending sin
you will never learn, this is the way it's always been

Fire will work with me and I will take control.
I'm the mighty, the new infernal lord.
"Hail me with pride and thou shall be spared",
We are the legion from the dusk the pious always feared.
The sky turned to red as I slew the angels among the clouds.
They fell to earth feather-light, encased in bright crimson shrouds.

We gather with the burning torches in our hands,
the fire that will set your christian world on flame.
We will burn your wretched churches where they stand,
not until the christian flag is gone will I achieve my aim.

Worship the ground I once walked.
Obey those words I have said.
This is the place haunted by ma shadow,
Where even angels fear to tread.

How can you deny my existence,
even though you've seen my face.
The battlescars of the ancient north,
mark the damnation of the human race.

Will I ever let the ravens fly again and let them do what has to be done?
Will their black wings ever shadow the earth from the sun?
From every side, from evrey open gate,
they came to smear the blood into my face.
Will I ever let the wolves haunt again and let them do what has to be done?
Will their teeth and claws ever slaughter the priests and nuns?
From every side, from every open gate,
they came to smear the blood into my face.
Will I ever unleash my daimons and let them do what has to be done?
Will their powers and actions ever convince the world I am the one who won?

Within the abyss I've felt my power grow,
power of pure evil, power from below.
With infernal strength I will lead the horde.
Join me in the coming and follow the dark lore.

The sky turned to red as we slew the angels in the clouds.
They fell to earth feather-light, enceased in bright crimson shrouds

I will wield the fire and forever take control.
I'm themighty, the infernal lord. Join me, brandish thy sword.
"Hail me with pride and thou shall be spared"
We are the legion from the dusk the pious always feared.

4. She Only Flies At Night

5. Worthless Soul For Sale?

I may bethe stargazer who still hopes for you to enter my zodiac.
But the lines between time have disappeared, lost forever in the fields of ages.
Fire, walk through the flames of a time to come,
I've seen your face in the blaze, comeforth my beloved evil one...

Take this black ribbon off my eyes,
I want to see from where the sweet blood comes,
I want to see the red running down your thighs.
Please smear it into my eyes,
dark mistress in a daimonic disguise...

You looked at me hoping I was an angel underneath,
but inside I am pure evil just like you.
All the way from beneath,
we are the same, one not two.

Come on, let me hear you say it,
let me see you disgrace the feeble god above
Our name is a number - three times six,
it's our ticket across the river styx.
Trapped between blood-drenched thighs.
Cure me, curse me. I don't care if I live or die.

Is it the truth that is told in the tale,
that your worthless soul is for sale?
For goldcoins more than twentyone,
you'll become the bride of Satan.

We are the ones you were afraid to see,
those you only read of in daimonology.
We are the ones not afraid of your cross,
We are the mighty, they are Abyssos.

Wolves, vampires, satyrs, ghosts!
Elect of all the devilish hosts!
I pray you send hither, send hither,
The great grey shapes that make men shiver!

We are the ones you were afraid to see,
those you only read of in daimonology.
We are the ones not afraid of your cross,
We are the mighty, they are Abyssos.

Take this black ribbon off my eyes,
I want to see from where the sweet blood comes,
I want to see the red running down your thighs.

You looked at me hoping I was an angel underneath,
but inside I am pure evil just like you.
All the way from beneath, we the one.

Is it the truth that is told in the tale,
that your worthless soul is for sale?
For goldcoins more than twentyone,
you'll become the bride of Satan.

6. Fhinsthanian Nightbreed

7. Queen Covered In Black

Queen of seduction, ruler of another sphere.
Drowned in my secret ocean, no-one knows where.
A journey into depths of the long lost empire,
the landscapes of Fhinstha, the world of the vampires.
To a time where history has never been written,
to a place only accessed by those of our kindred bitten.

You all know the signs,
You have all seen them before.
In places most secret where evil is adored.

I drank your Blood as you tasted mine,
the finest aroma of long lay down wine.
Your soul even darker than it's ever been before,
long enough I've waited for the one I always adored...

...come ...forever more

I drank your Blood as you tasted mine,
Your lips so sweet, like a shiver down my spine.
Even colder than my journey through the sea of ice.
A seductive breeze, a succubus in a human disguise.

Your hair was blacker than the feathers of ravens just a moment ago,
but now it's turned to even brighter than December's frosty snow.
Your mouth is silent, but your hand points at the castle soon to be mine.
You'll stand proud in thy glory and all that shimmers inside will be thine.

I drank your Blood as you passed the line,
your filthy claws like razors down my spine.
Leaving wounds more nasty than lust's red gash,
Passionately inflicted in an intemperate, livid flash.

Howling - the words of wolves, barking at the fullmoon light
Evil - The most beautiful things that ever ever been seen at night.
Blood - Sharp teeth, tongues of lust, hunting for the innocent pray,
Desire - hidden behind sweet scarlet lips...

...eyes too sore to face the light of day.

Queen of seduction, ruler of another sphere.
Drowned in my secret ocean, no-one knows where.
A journey into depths of the long lost empire,
the landscapes of Fhinstha, the world of the vampires.
To a time where history has never been written,
to a place only accessed by those of our kindred bitten.

Your hair was blacker than the feathers of ravens just a moment ago,
but now it's turned to even brighter than December's frosty snow.
Your mouth is silent, but your hand points at the castle soon to be mine.
You'll stand proud in thy glory and all that shimmers inside will be thine.

8. Wherever The Witches Might Fly

9. Firebreathing Whore

There she stands by the chamber door,
even more beautiful than ever before.
Back from the dead, a mistress once adored,
Just imagine what those eyes have explored.

Like the rain saltwater dripping onto the wooden floor.
She, the one washped up at Fhinstha's tawdry shore.

The whore I once raped had suddenly returned with the abominations of my black semen.
Even filthierthan the spawn I once gave,
an obscure species raised by the witches of the burning cave.
Come my children and let me feel your sulphur breath,
follow my footsteps and help me lead the weak unto their death.

Rise, spread your wings, fly out the dragon's lair.
Two nights, one day, thenthe world will be conquered.
Rejoin our kindred, raised by those borne by the air.
Two nights, one day, then the world will be conquered.

Come forth, firebreathing whore,
take shelter 'neath my wings
Come forth, firebreathing whore,
and heat my body forever more.

...and as death becomes yours my beloved child, all the sins will be revealed.
A fairytale of sodomy, and deep wounds never to be healed.

There she lies by the chamber door,
even more beautiful than ever before.
Back to the dead, a mistress so adored,
Just imagine what those eyes will explore.

Her body felt so cold of sin, kissed her just before rigor mortis set in.
Her flesh was chill as ice... still I caressed her frigid form yet thrice.

Come forth, firebreathing whore,
take shelter 'neath my wings
Come forth, firebreathing whore,
and heat my body forever more.
