GLOOMY GRIM LYRICS

1. April - Within The Woods

As I felt that the fire and storm went away
from the mistress of the Stormblast
I decided to move away
and live outside this and her world.

I rented old cabin within the woods
some said that it was fool thing to do
they said
that it is haunted
by the family who lived there before
I had heard of that case
when they all were just vanished.

The family was searched by people
but they never were found
they were just disappeared
like smoke in the wind.

I also visited this house, years before
right away I felt that I belong here
who is there? I want to be alone
Leave me alone!

I am sure that there was something
Is this happening to me again
I am so scared of those things upstairs
I am going insane.

Leave me alone!

2. May - Why Are They Screaming At Night?

This morning a strange thing happened to me.
I woke up with my daughter,
She was overnight at my place.
Morning was otherwise normal as my mornings are,
But there was a kind of suffocating feeling around,
And she seemed like she was afraid of something.
So, I asked what is oppressing her mind.

She said that she is afraid of the ghost and demons
Who dwell here at night,
Lurking in the shadows, driving her insane,
Waiting for that moment to sneak from behind.
She said to me;

"Why are they screaming at night?
I am sure you've heard them too,
That wasn't a dream, I tried to wake you up,
But you didn't wake.
What are those things that scream at night?"

Soon I started to understand what she was talking about.
They had been here, they had been here,
They had been here, they had been here.
Why are they screaming at night?
Are they ghosts, demons or are they nice?
Why are they screaming at night?
Say to them to go away from your place.
Go away...

3. June - Åkerspöke

I began to feel that I'll have to kill myself,
And I saw visions of me hanging from the tree.
I decided to try to get help from somewhere,
And made a convention with a woman
Who claimed to be a witch.
I watched as she did her things,
But disbelief was the only feeling I got.

Things started to happen and sounds were heard.
I couldn't believe my eyes as the witch started to tremble.
Her face distorted and she moaned like in pain...

Akerspoke, Akerspoke, come out, show yourself!
Hail far moon, ruler of the night;
Guard me and mine without the light.
Earth, bone and winding sheet, let this spirit come to me.
Hecate, mother of night, shield your child from curses.
When enemies direct harm, make their minds grow confused.
So make it be.

4. July - Cold Fingers

The witch ran away with fear in her eyes,
She said she'll never come back.
Things went too obscure for her,
magic spells didn't help at all.

I asked one friend of mine to look after me,
but when she came I had to leave
And leave her alone in the house.
After a while she called and screamed;

"They are here, they are here and they don't let me out"

I went there to look of what's going on,
And as soon as I entered the house
I felt like someone's cold fingers on my throat
And couldn't take a breath.
This was my first contact, so now I am sure.
This is for real.

5. August - So I Slept & Slept

After my contact with those who I don't know
some people put me to a place where they told me
I'll just have to take few pills and sleep.
So, I slept and slept.
Nothing more to tell.
I just wonder of how those beings got inside here too?
What the fuck are they doing here?

6. September - Invoking The Flames (Burn, Burn, Burn)

As I am now writing I am back at home
And I'll have to tell you all,
I just looked myself from the mirror
But didn't recognize myself.

My face was pale and I looked like
I was just dug up from the grave.
Mistress of the Stormblast was here,
But as I understood, I tried to burn her alive,

Matches in my hand I stood there,
She was screaming that she is on fire,
I was invoking the flames.

"Burn, burn, burn.
Now is the time for you to show your loyalty to us.
You'll have to get rid of all love and become as we are.
Burn, burn, burn! Let the flames get higher and higher.
Burn, burn, burn! Clean your way to our realm.
We are waiting for you down here.
We have been waiting since you were born, our leader,
You'll just have to take the final step
And you will reign forever

Forever, forever, forever, forever..."

7. October - Cellar Dweller

You can´t blame me for what you have done
Bitch, witch and the others
I am not the one to be blamed
I´ll send in the bird
See you here.

You came here, where I have lived for oh, so long
I don't want to hurt you
I am only asking that you let me sleep.

I am going to be free
I´ll possess your soul
and then I can die and see
too long time in torment.

For reasons I don´t know
I must be set free
It´s your time to suffer
As you become me.

I am a cellar dweller
someday you will be here too
I am a cellar dweller
Someday you all will dwell here too.

8. November - And The Bird Came In

This November morning
I woke up and saw
the bird come in
It is said that it means death

Nature is coming to take its own
So, it sends messenger to the mortals
I felt that blood is running
out of my body

And the bird came in
so it was my time to leave
to the unknown places
where none has come back

I felt that it wasn't my time yet
so, I screamed out loud
"Why did you send the Messenger?"
"What have I done wrong?"

You are only out there
because we need you
we want to come out
Of this grave of ours

We are going to take you.

9. December - The Bells Toll My Name

At night, I suddenly woke up
for nameless, faceless terror
I sat on the edge of my bed
with my feet firmly planted on the floor
I tried to breathe at a normal rate
saying the magical words.

Haunting terrors of the night
be gone and let me be
´til the dawn of the light
bright moon watch over me

I heard something moving under my bed
raised my feet, because I was so scared
I asked if there´s someone there
It was too quiet, nothing was heard

Suddenly closet opened
I saw something I have never seen before

10. January - Dying Breed

It had a face like mine is, but it didn't look like me.
It talked like me, but the voice wasn't mine.
It was like watching myself from the mirror,
Which is distorted and twisted.

"You have wondered of what we are,
Even you know it already.
We are you and you are us.
Dying breed is what we are; we'll live together as one.
Dying breed is what we are, you, me and the others."

The thing disappeared and I started to wonder
Has is this all happened only in my mind,
But other people have seen them too,
So I really don't know anything anymore.

11. February - Astral Planes I Have Travelled Through

Who will understand my horrible agony
Which I am suffering all the time?
I have began to avoid people and to seek solitude.
If I tell them of what
I have witnessed they think I am insane.
If I keep my mouth shut they ask "what is wrong with you?".

This is going to be the end of my life,
At least it seems to be like it is.
I am only sitting here and scaring of those beings,
This can't be good for my health.

Who are they? What they want? Am I me?
Depression, self-mutilation, voices, leave me alone.
Why they haunt me? Is this real?
It is time to stop this madness and set myself free.

Astral plane I have travelled through,
Saw myself and maybe you.
Wandered through the mysteries of man,
Travelled through the lapse of time and eternity.

Astral plane I have travelled through,
Saw myself and maybe you.
Still scared of myself, I continue wandering,
So far that none can reach me.

12. March - The Call

And now, tonight, I sit and wait for the voices.
The house is open to what may come and I am also ready.
I will wait for the call. To where ever it will lead me.

This is our destiny...
