DARK FUNERAL LYRICS

1. An Apprentice Of Satan

[Music by Lord Ahriman. Lyrics by Emperor Magus Caligula]

A darkened place beyond the eternal death,
Hung many victims chained lifeless.
Stolen of all their dignity.
The dried blood on her pale skin,
Witness her beliefs.
She's an apprentice of Satan.
The wind is blowing strong from the north.
While the demons force their way through the flames,
To grant her with their wisdom wide.
Inside the circle she feels safe.
She can feel the power grow.

She's an apprentice of Satan.

A sigh echoes through the woods.
Like a winter storm it spread through the maze.
When she's finally embraced by the darkness.
That she has finally welcomed into her:life!!!

The wind, cold as the full moon high in the darkened sky.
Carries a weak fragrance of blood.
She can hear the demons call out her name.
Whispers in the shadows, evil forces everywhere.
The wind is blowing strong in the north.
While the demons force their way through the flames,
To grant her with eternal life.
She's the evil messenger of Satanic beliefs.
She's an apprentice of Satan:.

High in the sky flies the evil apprentice.
She has turned to the dark side.
With her beauty and her power of Satan.
She consumes the dead to get more life.

High above all, stands our evil apprentice.
Now seduced by the dark side.
With the power of Satan,
She will never see the dawn until the end of time.

A darkened place beyond the eternal death,
Hung many victims chained lifeless.
Stolen of all their dignity.
The dried blood on her pale skin witness her beliefs.
She's an apprentice of Satan.

She's an evil apprentice.

2. The Trial

[King Diamond cover]

[La Reymie:]
Jeanne D'basson, You stand accused before the burning court
for practising witchcraft. Do you confess? We have ways
to make You talk How do You plead?

[Jeanne:]
I never did any harm to anyone. I don't believe this

[La Reymie:]
Lead the witch to the dungeon for the test...
bring out the glowing pins. Do it now

This is rotten to the core
Jeanne is naked on the floor
In the dungeon, they want more

[La Reymie:]
Oh Jeanne, you feel so good

La Reymie is touching her body
Wringled fingers all over her

[La Reymie:]
So this is how You make with the devil
we're gonna get You, witchy woman
we will never believe in You
so you better repent Your sins now

Sticking need'es into her skin yeah
In the dungeon blood is everywhere
Clowing need'es, need'es and pins yeah
She's getting weaker, no more pain to feel

[La Reymie:]
We will never believe in You
so you better repent Your sins now

We are the servants of GOD, we believe in the devil
and we've found his mark on You, confess witch

Thoushalt not suffer a witch to live
who soever lieth with a beast shall surely be put the death

[Jeanne:]
Never did I lie with any beast of thine
dogs or cats or goats, now leave My soul alone

[La Reymie:]
He that sacrificeth unto any god save the lord only
he shall be utterly destroyed

[Jeanne:]
'Now I hear, deceiving, lying tongues
never have I done no harm to anyone

But they dis not turn her loose
Horns and tails and cloven hoof
Can You tell Me where's the proof

3. Dead Skin Mask

[Slayer cover]
[Jeff Hanneman/Tom Araya]

Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of dead cold flesh pacifies the means
Provocative images delicate features so smooth
A pleasant fragrance in the light of the moon

[CHORUS]
Dance with the dead in my dreams
Listen to their hallowed screams
The dead have taken my soul
Temptation's lost all control

Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants

In the depths of a mind insane
Fantasy and reality are the same

Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of dead warm flesh pacifies the means
Incised members ornaments on my being
Adulating the skin before me

Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants

[CHORUS]

4. Remember The Fallen

[Sodom cover]

Honour the fallen heroes
See their last resting place
Perished in the battle of nations
Where they found eternal peace
Do you know the use of their decorations?
Awarded for patriotism
They left their life in fire
But don't know even why

Remember the fallen
Remember the fallen

To the command of despotic dictators
They marched to fight in a senseless war
Most of them were just puppets and children
The battle was lost before it began

Brotherly in heart and hand
Know that they never come back
With combined effort
And the believe in god
Their duty only as cannon fodder
Kamikaze as living bombs
Driven into the open knife
Deceitful and malicious

Remember the fallen
Remember the fallen

Their tormented souls will never rest
To pay us back for their innocent death
No quarter shed our proud blood
Retaliation on the warpath

5. Pagan Fears

[Mayhem cover]

The bloody history from the
past deceased humans now forgotten.
An age of legends and fear a time now
so discant.

Less numbered as they were their lives
so primitive and pagan
superstitions were a part of the life
so unprotected in the dark nights

Pagan fears.
The past is alive.
The past is alive.

Woeful people with pale faces
staring obsessed at the moon
some memories will never go away
and they will forever be here.
