COUNTESS LYRICS

1. Into Iniquity

[Instrumental]

2. Aleidis

I came to the old house in the dark night
I felt only a dark sensation, but no fright
The strange old man's words ran through my mind
In this unholy place, what would I find?

I entered the mansion, thinking I was alone
I saw a strange, ancient gravestone
Suddenly a woman's voice whispered my name
Or was the old man playing a silly game?

Aleidis came to me, unimaginably beautiful
Dressed in white, while the moon was full
Suddenly I felt overcome by an unholy desire
But was she just young or an ages old vampire?

Maybe she was just a portrait, or a figment of my sick mind
But whatever the truth, she was the best wife I'd ever find
I loved her in a way I had never even known
But would the blood my love needed soon be my own?

She used to kill animals and suck their blood
She belonged to Satan, her soul lost by God
One day at last, she made my neck her unholy teeth feel
Now we are joined for eternity, but is this all real?

3. Fire And Blood

Mountains engulfed by darkness
Campfires blazing in the night
Ten thousand warriors gathered
The fires their only light

Now let the sacrificial blood flow
To appease the war gods
A great battle is at hand
We must fight against the odds

The enemy awaits us
Ahead lies victory or death
Steel cuts through flesh
Breathe your last breath
Blood flows everywhere
The woods are turning red
Spears fly and hammers clash
My sword severs your head

Force of life and omen of death
Blood colours my sword red
We find glory on this battlefield
Where so many fought and bled
Once every man must die
If not by the spear by old age
Worthy are only honour and pride
So on the battlefield I rage

4. A Cry Of Hope Forever Gone

[Instrumental]

5. Ritual Of The Seven Priests

Blasting through the blackened sky
Knowing not but knowing still
Lost all sense of place and time
Yet filled with an evil thrill
Awakening in the black cathedral
Departing the dimensional gates
No need for any explanation
Knowing the task that awaits
Full moon shines in utter darkness
The hour of midnight drawing near
Tonight 13 the bells will chime
Tonight the holy tremble in fear

Behold the 7 innocent maidens
Behold the 7 velvet altars
Behold the 7 southern crosses
Behold...
Behold the 7 evil priests
Behold the 7 silver chalices
Behold the 7 silver daggers
Behold...

Sacrifices have been made, thunder and lightning appear
Rejoice in hideous blasphemy, know that the time is near

The chosen hail the Master well, lusting for hate and scorn
Crying out in evil ecstasy, "the Antichrist is born!"

6. Into Battle

[Instrumental]

7. The Wolf Cries Evil

Straying through the dark forest
The night so black, the mist so cold
A lonely path to destiny
Feel Evil's desperate hold
Feel the presence of the wolf
As the hunter roams the silent woods
A fire burns, close yet so far away
Men they dance in robes and hoods
And the wolf cries... evil
The wolf cries evil

A thick blanket of fog covers all
Feel the darkness all around
Breathe the evil, be the darkness
Forever and ever and ever Hellbound
Become one with all darkness and evil
Join the pack, howl in the night
Hail the Master for all eternity
No more fear, no more fright
And the wolf cries... evil
The wolf cries evil

8. Deisidaimonia

Tread the Path of Destiny
Walk under the Sign
Guided by the light of Set
Will ever the moon shine?

Eternal desert lies ahead
The smile of Azazel
Whisper an ancient incantation
Cast an unholy spell

Descend into the darkest chamber
Celebrations of sin
Worship of Evil so much older
Than Prometheus' kin

Weird reality surrounds the chosen
Deep in Midgard's womb
Taste the smell of absurdity
In this infernal tomb

Manifestation on the altar
Pray to eternal truth
Sacrifice through fear and lust
Virgin flesh so smooth

Awake in forest of nowhere
Symphony through the haze
Innocent blood drowning your soul
The skyline is ablaze

9. Since Man Has Wielded Swords

Since man has wielded swords
Man has gone to war
Since man acquired speech
He has lied for evermore
Since Abel was struck by Cain
His brother man has slain
Since man has wielded swords
Man has battled for power and fame
Since man acquired fire
He has set the world aflame
Since Eve led Adam to sin
Man's dark desires will always win

10. Bloed In De Sneeuw

Oude toortsen zijn opnieuw ontstoken
Onze ketenen voor altijd gebroken
Niet langer door valse moraal geknecht
Halen wij met vuur en staal ons recht

[Chorus:]
Bloed vloeit in de sneeuw
Hoort 't gebrul van Ne�rlands leeuw
Ziet de laffe verraders beven
Beter vrij te sterven dan geknecht te leven

De slavenkoning en diens volgelingen
Zullen wij verslaan met magische ringen
Tot Wodan bidden wij andermaal
Onze zielen en zwaarden hard als staal

[Chorus]

Door mist en regen, wind en kou
Rijden wij trots, gelaten zo grauw
Grimmig en o zo vastberaden
Ditmaal kennen wij geen genade

Donar zal ons weer beschermen
Onze vijanden zullen kermen
Onze zwaarden rood van bloed en roest
Nu gebeurt wat gebeuren moest

[Chorus]

Het rijk van Jehovah is gevallen
Ziet de lijken van zijn vazallen
Gezuiverd is nu onze geboortegrond
Ziet de nieuwe heidense morgenstond
