IN MY EMBRACE LYRICS

1. The Coming Storm

[Instrumental]

2. Black Waters Deep

Floating adrift, through this maelstrom called life.
The anchor is lost, somewhere in the tide.
No sails that helps, nowhere to hide.
Oh this vast sea, this ocean of time.

Your cries echoes silent, as no friend will ever hear.
Striving for survival but only meeting your own fear.
Going deeper still, sinking so far.
Hoping until the end, as the fading light of a dying star.

Black waters haunting, a mist closing in.
The breath you take, the last one ever made.
Falling down into blackness, where eyes can't ever see.
No way to escape, no nightmare from which to awake.
Down in the deep, where the darkness draws you in.
Gasping for air, choking shivering despair.

Dreams shall perish, no future to behold.
Nothing more forever, nothing to no one bestow.
No laughter, no joy, not even tears to bear.
Sinking to the bottom, this is your final lair.

Floating adrift, through this maelstrom called life.
The anchor is lost, somewhere in the tide.
No sails that helps, nowhere to hide.
Oh this vast sea, this ocean called time.

3. Into Oblivion - Dead To Dust Descend Part II

Slay the breathing, drain them of blood.
Nail them to their fate, for eternity.
Give them pledge, without fulfilment.
Give them hope, without any response.
A rebel against their mindlessness.
Condemned to the darkest of halls.

Still I hate – and I want them to wither away!
Still I hate – buried in the ground for the final decay!

I admire life, oh truly I do.
The creation is a work of art and the forces in nature too.
No painting can be filled, with such splendid elegance.
No picture can capture life's grand attributes.

In that sense, I love what I do.
Because as life's opposite, death is beautiful too.
And the fear that I create, as you know what will come.
That really fills me with life, as I watch you die.
- I watch you die.

Still I hate – feel the wickedness grow within!
Still I hate – you will be dust forever, in your eternal grave!

Oh I admire life, truly I do.
The creation is a work of art and the forces in nature too.
No painting can be filled, with such splendid elegance.
No picture can capture life´s grand attributes.

4. Of Ache And Sorrow

Walking alongside the world.
Not taking part.
From the outside looking in.
Feeling the surface getting farther away.

Dreams, aches and sorrows.
..Memories… This burden called life.
The pain and all the doubts.
The pain and all the doubts.

Was it all meant to be?
Everlasting, this breathtaking misery.
Choking, this fading light.
Lost between hope and despair.

Longing for oblivion and resting peace.
But walking farther still, as hope still lingers.
The night keeps closing in.
Yet dawn still retains.

Guitar solo: Bosse Öhman.

Dreams, aches and sorrows.
..Memories… The night keeps closing in.
Choking, this fading light.
Lost between hope and despair.
As hope still lingers on..

5. Thy Abhorrence

Hatred, flowing in my veins.
Looking up to the sky in defiance.
I linger, dreaming of its fall.
My abomination, the heavens degradation.
My abomination, the heavens degradation.


The void will be fulfilled, when I rise towards the heavens.
In thrust you will fall flickering to my feet.
Quivering, with agonized abhorrence shining in your eyes;
as you sink into abysmal despair.

Caged as I once was, you will drown in solitude - as the silence drives you insane.
Then, tortured by the screams of your followers, baptized in the blood of your precious angels;
as the last thing you will perceive.

I laugh at the sight of your pathetic occurrence, as I drive my spear right through your head!

I raise my chalice in absence of your gazing eyes.
In a malice, I can see awe of my entity.
Unhallowed lands as far as I can see.
And the crown on my head, to remind the hordes of your end.

6. The Road Of Hanging On

Life, withers away – nothing lasts; death is eternal.
Death, might be the end or perhaps not; but why throw your life away.

Choose how you’ll live, don’t be led; by mindless flocks of sheep.
Make your path to a road, to a highway of your own.
Stand with pride; that you dared to look them in their eyes.
No more bowing down, never again letting yourself drown.

Time to rise, time to climb; on top of the world.
Winning your fight, like the sun conquers the night.

Life, withers away – nothing lasts; death is eternal.
Death, might be the end or perhaps not; but why throw it all away.
Grasp it all, everything in your reach; hang on to every piece.
Never let go, as your highway is your own.

Guitar solo I: Teddy Möller.
Guitar solo II: Bosse Öhman.

Time to rise, time to climb; on top of the world.
Winning your fight, like the sun conquers the night.

Life, withers away – nothing lasts; death is eternal.
Death, might be the end or perhaps not; but why throw it all away.
Grasp it all, everything in your reach; hang on to every piece.
Learn to let go, as your highway is your own.

7. Next Chapter

Striving forward with the one life I have.
In no need of affirmation at all.
I’m above who I was.
You can’t make me fall.

Curious what lies ahead.
Your chains do not imprison me anymore.
No poisoned words will scar me.
You've lost the grip of my soul.

Walk away from me, you’re only in my way.
Don't try to pull me down, you won't break my mind.

Let me be, away from me. I'll face my fate alone.
I´m free to go where I please, free to do as I choose.
The past has been left behind, my haunted mind is at peace.
A rebirth lies ahead, next chapter will begin.

The hunger keeps me going.
The thirst drives me forward.
Searching for my time divine.
Time to conquer this life.


Keeping my head up high, I won't look back.
One final chapter to overcome.
Striving forward to a bitter end.
Through the fading light, into the darkness I go.

Guitar solo: Bosse Öhman.

Let me be, away from me. I'll face my fate alone.
I'm free to go where I please, free to do as I choose.
The past has been left behind, my haunted mind is at peace.
My rebirth is complete, next chapter has begun.

8. Voyage Of Thoughts

Dreams transcending, continuing this path.
Not knowing where it ends and what will be.
Memories haunting, no peace of mind.
Not sure what do to, when will it ease?

Caught in this maze of emotions, no way out.
Hopes and longings, not to become real.
A naive bliss, for a short while.
Not meant to be, not at all this time.
Life goes on, spiraling down.
To the black hole, left in the ground.
That’s where it ends, nowhere to hide.

To live life the fullest, when it’s still time.
Not regretting things never done.
Things don’t always turn out as you might have planned.
Life happens, whatever you might have had in mind.

Caught in this maze of emotions, no way out.
Hopes and longings, not to become real.
A naive bliss, for a short while.
Not meant to be, not at all this time.
Life goes on, spiraling down.
To the black hole, left in the ground.
That’s where it ends, nowhere to hide.

Time moves on, closer to the end.
What lies beyond, no one knows.
Life does not last forever.
The memories of you will fade.

To live life the fullest, when it’s still time.
Not regretting things never done.
Things don’t always turn out as you might have planned.
Life happens, whatever you might have had in mind.

9. Killing Spree

War!!!!!!!!!!!

Screaming, ready for war; the battle lays ahead.
Bloodlust fills my veins, in longing I strive forth.
Warfare, chaos and greed; a true mask of my faith.
Never, never again the weakness fills my heart.

My eyes are red, my body shakes, I long for human flesh.
Bleeding, screaming, covered in blood; only death remains!

One pure thought, one glimpse of hope. Like a pale stream of light before darkness folds.
None will escape, like a plague I strive forth. I come with the darkness, like thunder I will strike.

War!!!!!!!!!!!

Destruction and the joy it holds, the corruption it foretells.
I take what I want, no one left untouched.
Such beauty, the streams of blood and the longing of decay.
The essence of war, annihilation awaits!

Guitar solo: Kenneth Larsson.

My eyes are red, my body shakes, I long for human flesh.
Bleeding, screaming, covered in blood; only death remains!

One pure thought, one glimpse of hope. Like a pale stream of light before darkness folds.
None will escape, like a plague I strive forth. I come with the darkness, like thunder I will strike.
