DIMMU BORGIR LYRICS

1. The Unveiling

Become through earned
And granted liberation
Rise above the secrecy
And silent deception

Clarity is determined
At the depths of murky waters
The potion of black earthed blood
Is the sludge draining the conscious

Essential learning
Corrupted and drifted
In this deceiving world
The modern savant has ignored the soul

Expose the dreamworld
We all believe to be real
Forgotten, forbidden
All the knowledge that is hidden

In the shadows
Our eyes are blind with confusion
The curtains hide the present
Leaving only rays of disillusion

Expose the dreamworld
We all believe to be real
Forgotten, forbidden
All the knowledge that is hidden

2. Interdimensional Summit

Mired in illusion
Lost in the masters game
Silenced by the idea of time
Nurtured with lies and deceit

The silent seeker, the seer
Travels beyond the veil
The silent seeker, the seer
Fleeing the dense womb of ignorance

To the trained eye
There are no coincidences
The more you see
The less it makes sense
To the trained eye
There are no coincidences
If you can not see
You can not truly know

We are the current sum of all the ages
Leaving a trail of burnt pages
Thrown into darkness as stars
We travel alone as one

When the dust settles on the tavern
Is when we're liberated from illusion
Taking our first and final breath
Realizing life is always after death

3. Ætheric

The word that has been spoken
Through time and time again
Is the light that inhabits our voice
The light that keeps us aflame

All retrospection is invalid
As we've been fed disdain
Confined to the fence of knowledge
We need to die, die again

To govern thyself
You must know your darkness
To govern thyself
You must know your past

All rise and fall
All is internal
All eternal
All rise and fall

Controlling matter with will
We withstand every storm
In and out of exile
Spirit, matter and form

To govern thyself
You must know your darkness
To govern thyself
You must know your past

4. Council Of Wolves And Snakes

Nomads plunging into the vast abyss
Unattached, fleeting through the chasm
Naked in pure darkness
Embracing the new dawn

We are gods here for the taking
Yield to the dragon's embrace
We are gods
Yield to the dragon's embrace

As pawns in this secret game
No one knows nothing
Yet, in the realm of sacred play
Everyone knows everything

A winged and secret flame
Leaving this paradigm
A dimension we are set to flee

We are gods in the making
We are here for the taking
Yield to the dragon's embrace
We are of transcendence
We are wolves and snakes

A winged and secret flame
Leaving this paradigm
A dimension we are set to flee
The arrival is in the departure
We are sculpted into life
By the hands of death

5. The Empyrean Phoenix

Legionnaires of degradation
Ridden with disease
Disguised as martyrs
Preaching counterfeit peace

Unbound, glory forever untouched
Unbound, from its inception
To its final round

Through the tunnels
Darkness dims the vision
Yet, the light is kept guarded
Secretly

Unbound, glory forever untouched
Unbound, from its inception
To its final round

Risen anew from its humiliation
The fire has been awoken

The crossroads many
The highways few
Through desert storms it flew
The spirit of the phoenix wins
Restored anew

Unbound, glory forever untouched
Unbound, from its inception
To its last final round

6. Lightbringer

Discover with courage
While facing the beyond
Uncompromisingly
Everything connects
As you detach

Truth foretold
Truth discovered
Truth always known

All growth comes at a cost
Moving forward means sacrifice
Enduring all paths crossed

Lucifer Lux Lucifer

The shadow is your dragon
Making the darkness conscious
Your wings open wide
Old souls becoming of age

Prosperity comes with a price
All growth comes at a cost
Moving forward means sacrifice
Enduring all paths crossed

Truth foretold
Truth discovered
Truth always known

The secrets of existence
Everything's within reach
The beginning is near
The end never draws fear

Lucifer Lux Lucifer

7. I Am Sovereign

Undo me
And feel no restraint
Undo me
Pain is wanting closure
Undo me
The mind it needs to rest
Undo me
I shall be restored

Perseverance doesn't mean anything
Unless it's for eternity
The real powers that will ever be
Is freedom and liberty

Undo me
And feel no restraint
Undo me
Pain is wanting closure
Undo me
The mind it needs to rest
Undo me
I shall be restored

A lifetime worthy of awakening
Is a life worth transcending

We learn as we teach
We teach as we speak
We speak as we seek
We seek what we learn

Knowing when to end a journey
Is to recognize where it begins
What we really seek is not here
But on the other side of fear

We learn as we teach
We teach as we speak
We speak as we seek
We seek what we learn

8. Archaic Correspondence

Dead at nothing
Alive at everything
You travel time
And time travels you
As within so without
As above so below

When we set sail
Energy is our procession
The journey inward repeats
The horizon is our destination

Life is the trial
And the passage is death
Storming through oblivion
Life is a trial
And the passage is death
Storming through the veil

The transition from internal life
Repressed and unseen
Forgotten
Lurking in the shadow of your mind
Losing yourself is the key
To leave everything behind
Losing yourself is the key
The shadows become our past

The migration of the soul
Picks up where it leaves the flesh
And enters the finish line
Sustained through another time

Life is the trial
And the passage is death
Storming through oblivion
Life is a trial
And the passage is death
Storming through the veil

As within so without
As above so below

9. Alpha Aeon Omega

The inevitable exchange
Is when knowledge comes
Without judgement

The final transition
Is when knowledge becomes
The internal

The facilitators of darkness
Are the true providers
To the world's light

Ascending the highest mountain
Beyond the perception of reality
Forever free
From illusion of mortality

Open are all the doors
All will run its course
Leaving the former paradigm
Escalating, further the climb

Ascending the highest mountain
Beyond the perception of reality
Forever free
From illusion of mortality

The flow is ever present
Upstream and against the current
Ascending the highest of mountains
Free

10. Rite Of Passage

[Instrumental]
