1. The Northern Crown

[Music: G. Laakso, A. Ventola]

[Instrumental]

2. Among The Stars

[Music: Georg Laakso, Lyrics: Sami Aarnio]

Don't you want to see how it ends?
Gaze the comets that scrape the sky
Close eyes and make a wish
Don't you pray for the stars to fall?
Eternally burning chaotic brightness
Further from our galaxy
Where ignorance meets king fear
They came

Descent from heavens on to the earth
Destructive angel horde
Bring sorrow for tomorrow
Summon endless agony
For wounded we are on our crusade
To a lost paradise
Oh' how my heart yearns back
To shores of ever dark

Chariots of fire flew
Downwards from heavens blue
Over lands, lakes, over mountains high
Dashed Faethon on his way

Thousand stars burn in the night
Blazing glory ride on the final day
At last as one, we can be united
None better, none less
As we merge with the stars
Thousand stars burn in the night
Blazing glory ride on the final day
At last as one

Don't you want to see how it ends?
Gaze the comets that scrape the sky
Close eyes and make a wish
Don't you pray for the stars to fall?
Eternally burning chaotic brightness
Further from our galaxy
Where ignorance meets king fear
They came

Descent from heavens on to the earth
Destructive angel horde
Bring sorrow for tomorrow
Summon endless agony
For wounded we are on our crusade
To a paradise, my sons
Oh how my heart yearns back
To shores of ever dark

Thousand stars burn in the night
Blazing glory ride on the final day
At last as one, we can be united
None better, none less
As we merge with the stars
Thousand stars burn in the night
Blazing glory ride on the final day
Thousand stars burn in the night
Blazing glory ride on the final day
At last as one

3. Kings Of Grim

[Music: Georg Laakso, Lyrics: Sami Aarnio]

We’re the Kings of Grim!

Darkness has for so many years
Dwelled still upon this earth
By every cycle of moon can be seen
Deeper it has drawn
In tales once told by the Elders
Were that this dark time would come
Sooner, they said than it is proper
For little boys like you to know

When darkness eats all light away
We humans are to fall
Kings of Grim will rise to claim
Their right to rule once more
When the dark blades fullfil their deed
Shall rivers blood-red flow
Before North bestows it's wintry frost
The ancient kings stand tall

Harbingers of plague they are
The spawn of ancient gods
They claim the throne to rule the earth
To rule as it is foretold
Kings of Grim as they are known
Horde of celebrating death
Riding along with beasts of hell
And the night stood by their side

So fell to endless depths
The keepers of the grace
With wings torn, demolished
Make haste now, death awaits!
And I saw the drooling beasts of Seth
As they gathered for the feast
Sight that made me certain
They did not die in vain
And so shall it be, new order amongst men
As we circle upon the prey with joy

We who embrace thee with rage of cold steel
Now rise from the realm of stanching sulphur sea!
The thunder above, hellfire below
March of immortals forever goes on
Time we have waited finally at hand
Give none no mercy, death for each and all!

[Intermezzo]

Harbingers of plague they are
The spawn of ancient gods
They claim the throne to rule the earth
To rule as it is foretold
Kings of Grim as they are known
Horde of celebrating death
Riding along with beasts of hell
And the night stood by their side

So fell to endless depths
The keepers of the grace
With wings torn, demolished
Make haste now, death awaits!
And I saw the drooling beasts of Seth
As they gathered for the feast
Sight that made me certain
They did not die in vain

New moon so majestically broods
Upon these war torn wastes
No more humans serve their selfish deeds
Where the forlorn kings have once roamed
Farewell in the Kings of Grim

4. Morningstar

[Music: Georg Laakso, Lyrics: Sami Aarnio]

Ages ago in a region far north
Their godly breath roared throughout the earth
Shaped the stones, built mountains high
Invoked forests verdant and oceans wide
Then made rapids to roar across the wild untamed
With blooming fields of gold woody lands he framed
Gave name to all those places that yet were without
Or at least that was what he thought
For there was a place that he did not know of

The fee with all its control
Sent down from heavens above
To expose the deed ancient days
The angels from heaven into hell
And I saw the beast rise out of the sea
And he stood on heads, black and hoofs
And here's what he said, "Today I'll burn you"

So he's never come to this before
There's a far bank over breaching the shore
He climbed up on the ranks with people flesh
"Well I just clear here and leave you burn"
And so the people dance upon today
And so I live; I've never fucked a fang
Swallowing winds I was suffering can comprise
I’ll reach around the port-holes with this guise

[Intermezzo]

And August is when the worlds hear to dream
Awake just farmer; his shadow in near
Colossal demon who shows no fear
Violence just kill on that autumn day
And the shadow is here to shelter, to slay us all

Their apocalypse has never been seen
For it, it is composed of high and low
This is not the worst possible diorama to paint the worlds of fear
In a river from the top deck, men saw storms forming north swallow
These violent judges, these noble beasts
The fire has claimed more

Majestic sight it must have been
When the griffin twins took on the wing
Faster than winds, streaking like hell
Seeking the one that disturbed their peaceful sleep
Their beating wings revive the dreaming fire
Now those flames burn forevermore
With sparkling claws they shatter the earth
And rape the dawning life
Underneath the blaze of Morningstar

So he's never come to this before
There's a far bank over breaching the shore
He climbed up on the ranks with people flesh
"Well I just clear here and leave you burn"
And so the people dance upon today
And so I live; I've never fucked a fang
Swallowing winds I was suffering can comprise
I'll reach around the port-holes with this guise

5. Learn The Dark

[Music: Georg Laakso, Lyrics: Sami Aarnio]

Whence will I find the passion once lost?
May it rise with strength to burn
Away these synthetic sins of mine
Away those days by gone

For my demons never rest down here
Where morbid dreams form reality
I don't know who you are nor where you come from
I only know of who I am and when my shape is shifting
For I have learned the dark
And its never-ending quest
Down here I never rest
Down here in my gloomy depths
Where morbid dreams form my reality
They would never let me slip away

Spirit keep what my flesh cannot
I still bleed red
No memories, no breath
Torn apart I will drift till death

Spirit keep what my flesh cannot
I still bleed red
No memories, no breath
Torn apart I will drift till death
All these faceless creations
They seem to grope along the way
Leper guides for us to lead astray
To be lost and how to find the way

Days of torture and redeeming pain
Lies ahead, will I stand or am I to fall?
Everything here forced to sustain
For my demons never rest down here
With nails I masturbate my deepest wounds
And ages most profound came to me

Whence will I find the passion once lost
May it rise with strength to burn
Away these synthetic sins of mine
Away those days by gone

For my demons never rest down here
Where morbid dreams form reality
I don't know who you are nor where you come from
I only know of who I am and when my shape is shifting
For I have learned the dark
And its never-ending quest
Down here I never rest
Down here in my gloomy depths
Where morbid dreams form my reality
They would never let me slip away

Days of torture and redeeming pain
Lies ahead, will I stand or am I to fall?
Everything here forced to sustain
For my demons never rest down here
With nails I masturbate my deepest wounds
And ages most profound came to me

6. Flaming Ember

[Music: Georg Laakso, Lyrics: Sami Aarnio]

Still I yearn to see chaos and calm in harmony
Arcana that lies beyond the dream of ever blazing skies
And the night fell black upon the ones who yet
Blinded still wander in the mysteries of life
In blood are the murderer’s hands once again
As I hold you, my child, for the very last time
Though I'm crushed by grief, there is no other way
I shall burn it all remains, just let it slip away

I am the Flaming ember
Flood of never-ending pain
Rise my sons now from the flames
Now! Now!
Release Hell

Come new life like old once did
Weed out the weak now from our way
With your wisdom guide our way
Burning down the walls of the ever blazing skies

Before this earth from dusk was drawn
When gods were sleeping, I was born
Son of chaos and mother whore
Tempter strong yet without form
Come new life like old once did
Weed out the weak now from our way
?
Come new life like old once did
Weed out the weak now from our way
Leave their bodies to be eaten
By the beasts that haunt at night

[Solo]

Through your eyes I see this enraptured disharmony
Arcana that is never solved by the one tangled in dreams
And the night fell black upon the ones who yet
Blinded still wander and refuse to see the truth
In blood are the murderer’s hands once again
As I hold you, my child, for the very last time
Though I'm crushed by grief there is no other way
Tattoos in my soul displays the fall of heaven's dome

I am the Flaming ember
Flood of never-ending pain
Rise my sons now from the flames
Now! Now!
Release Hell

7. Bring Out Your Dead

[Music: Georg Laakso, Lyrics: Sami Aarnio]

Let’s go!
The end is near, but have no fear
Take a vacation to pits of hell
First-class flight awaits you all
We fly to hell via twilight zone
The bell tolls noon, the bell tolls doom
So bring out your dead and bring your friends too
For we're all doomed, no turning back
Last day dawns black in the eastern sky

Never will you close your eyes from this!
Witness the lifeless gaze of the dead
Bodies that lie before your very eyes
Are they asking you to join?
Are they asking you to join?
So come on and bring out your dead

The end is near, but have no fear
Take a vacation to pits of hell
First-class flight awaits you all
We fly to hell via twilight zone
The bell tolls noon, the bell tolls doom
So bring out your dead and bring your friends too
For we're all doomed, no turning back
Last day dawns black in the eastern sky

Never will you close your eyes from this!
Witness the lifeless gaze of the dead
Bodies that lie before your very eyes
Are they asking you to join?
Are they asking you to join?

[Solo]

The end is near, but have no fear
Take a vacation to pits of hell
First-class flight awaits you all
We fly to hell via twilight zone
The bell tolls noon, the bell tolls doom
So bring out your dead and bring your friends too
For we're all doomed, no turning back
Last day dawns black in the eastern sky

Never will you close your eyes from this!
Witness the lifeless gaze of the dead
Bodies that lie before your very eyes
Are they asking you to join?
Are they asking you to join?

8. Forest Remains Victor

[Music: Georg Laakso, Lyrics: Sami Aarnio]

Now shelter I must find from strong gale about to rise!
The northern lights delight me
Sets the darkened skies ablaze
As I slowly make my way over glade
To reach the firewood’s rising gates

But savouring came the jaws of night
Swallowing all but moon and stars
Storm, it groped till raging blow
Impaling bare-clothed
Like dagger thrown by embittered foe

Beneath the flickering eyes of night
There under firewood’s branch, he rests
In the cradle made by encrusted snow
Without a grief or care

The northern lights delight me
Sets the darkened skies ablaze
As I slowly make my way over glade
To reach the firewood’s rising gates
The ice wind’s cold breath forces me
To this fortress of ever trees
That offers me a place to rest
Den for me and the beasts as well
Oh Fortuna thou hath abandoned me!

Who could see through the veil of night?
Could hear the fainting call of the desperate one
When the storm rages on and on
And once again it strikes forth with
Such a furious howling blow
No mercy given for the lost
Who is seeking a way out from
This horrid maze of ice and snow

Under the stars may moon guide your way
But cold North winds will blow eternally
Under the stars, beneath blazing skies
You were forced to leave from where forest remains

Out from the darkness just like that
A swelling light became
Now chanting for the traveller
Whose road became to its end

The northern lights delight thee
Sets the darkened skies ablaze
As you slowly make your way over glade
To reach the firewood’s rising gates
Savouring come the jaws of night
Swallows all but moon and stars
Storm it gropes till raging blow
Impaling the one who tries
To conquer the forest's throne
Beneath the stars may moon guide your way
But cold North winds will blow eternally

Beneath the flickering eyes of night
There under firewood’s branch, he rests
In the cradle made by encrusted snow
Without a grief or care

9. Wreath Of Seven Stars

[Music: Georg Laakso, Lyrics: Sami Aarnio]

From where the eye can see beyond miles
From the top of mountain high
I found it shining on the ground
Blood-red like dragon’s tear it was
The second by placing spoon on a stump
From magpies nest I obtained
What a beauty met my eyes
Where silver in daylight sparked

From where great rivers run down by the ocean
Where winds weep and waves forever sing
From there I found the third, on a reef
Like blazing fire it was
Burning like a lively golden flame

Where the treetops reach out to the blue sky
In the deep woods, where no man-made pathways go
From there the fourth-one I did find
From inside the trunk of great pine tree
On a mossy bed scarlet glow and I went on

Where goblins once used to live
Long before our days
At the end of cavern deep and dark
I found it, grey as a dragons scale
For you my sweetest wolverine I force a wreath of seven stars
So that in the times of darkness it reminds us
Of the glory of our days

[Solo]

From where the eye can see beyond miles
From the top of mountain high
I found it shining on the ground
Blood-red like dragon’s tear it was
The second by placing spoon on a stump
From magpies nest I obtained
What a beauty met my eyes
Where silver in daylight sparked

From where great rivers run down by the ocean
Where winds weep and waves forever sing
From there I found the third, on a reef
Like blazing fire it was
burning like a lively golden flame

Beyond the horizon where crimson sun sets
We will sail to our haven afar
If winds favour and the storms let us go free
With sails of silver, with helm of gold
Towards the cosmic seas we sail
The wreath will guide our way
Descending glory of our days

10. Turmion Taival

[Music& Lyrics: Georg Laakso]

Mä veriset kentät aamunkoissa saavutin
Rikin katku peitti löyhkän ruumiin mädänneen
Näin miesten kaatuvan mä tuoksinassa taistelun
Kuin koirat ne vuosivat isänmaansa puolesta

Raivoavan härän lailla taisteluun mä käyn
Ja huudan "Kuole Saatana!"
Verenmaku suussani mä syöksyn turmioon
Turmioon

Urheasti katkeraan loppuun asti taistelin
Uljaana mä kaaduin miekka sydämessäin
Tunsin tuskaa suloista ja kipua viiltävää
Kun liekit helvetin ruoski haarniskaani

Raivoavan härän lailla taisteluun mä käyn
Ja huudan "Kuole Saatana!"
Verenmaku suussani mä syöksyn turmioon
Turmioon

Viel' kerran mä nostan mun verisen pääni ja raivoan taivaisiin
Viel' kerran mä kiroan taivaiset vallat ja suon niille helvetin
Ruhjottu, raiskattu, verinen ruumiini on jätetty mätänemään
Kohtaan katseen mä Tuonelan herran porteilla helvetin
Silmät nuo tappavat nään mä kuoleman enkelin
Nuo kuolaavat helvetinkoirat, raastavat sieluni

Urheasti katkeraan loppuun asti taistelin
Uljaana mä kaaduin miekka sydämmessäin
Tunsin tuskaa suloista kun maailma hiipui pois
Jouduin nöyrtymään mä eessä julman kohtalon
Pimeys peitti valon mielessäni mun
Miekka sydämessäni kentille mä jäin
Portit helvetin eessäin aukeni
Tulisen meren rannat ovat kotini ja ikuisuuteni
