MORGOTH LYRICS

1. House Of Blood

[Lyrics by Busse]

There is a House at the dead end street,
a place where God no longer dwells
A desecrated chapel where they meet
to open the gates of Hell

The curtain rises and the show begins,
this hall is overfilled with human sins
My heart beats fast and I hold my breath
as I stare right into the face of death

This is the House Of Blood,
welcome to the House Of Blood

Angels staring down from the above,
the flames of Hell are burning bright
Like silent witnesses they disappear
and fade away into the night

This is the House Of Blood;
this is the House Of Blood,
welcome to the House Of Blood

Shadows dancing on a naked wall,
a candle flickers in the darkened hall
Close your eyes and you will know
this is the ultimate Death Metal show

2. Voice Of Slumber

[Lyrics by Jäger, Swart, Busse]

Lost in the dark, a new murder is born,
the thrill to kill, a deep madness is torn
Waiting for the next attack
to become a bestial human wreck

All of my senses decay,
this is the end of the way,
I see the sky falling down,
chaos and madness around

I give it up,
out of control,
I will refuse,
dark is my soul

Voices, they call me in Slumber,
whisper salvation is waiting here
Nightmares endured without number,
awaken I'm dying in grief and fear

The second eye and the rest of my life,
all is bound to this terrible knife
A few minutes for the rush of blood,
Hell arrived, to be my own God

All of my senses decay,
this is the end of the way,
I see the sky falling down,
chaos and madness around

I give it up,
out of control,
I will refuse,
dark is my soul

Voices, they call me in Slumber,
whisper salvation is waiting here
Nightmares endured without number,
awaken I'm dying in grief and fear

Dark is my soul,
black is my soul,
dark is my soul,
dead is my soul

3. Snakestate

One nation, one aim
Somebody to acclaim
You follow your leader

One vision, one mind
All reasons left behind
Adore your false redeemer

This is the dawn of the Antichrist
This is the spirit that denies

A moral decline
You're forced into the line
Bow down before your master

A triumph of hate
Dismay of every shade
A legion of disaster

I see the rising flood
With streams of human blood

The fear inside their hearts
A solid soil for inhuman excess

Desperation and disparity
The perfect way to control and regress

Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Abominations of the horrible kinds

We are close upon the gates of hell
This is the downfall of mankind

Welcome to the snakestate
The land of darkness and decay
Now that we found it's too late
The world we knew has passed away

Disaster is grown
A violent seed is sown
It's spreading like a cancer

The countries collide
Divided deep inside
A nation with no answer

This is the dawn of the Antichrist
This is the spirit that denies

I see the rising flood
With streams of human blood

Welcome to the snakestate
The land of darkness and decay
Now that we found it's too late
The world we knew has passed away

Welcome to the snakestate
The land of darkness and decay
Welcome to the snakestate
The world we knew has passed away

4. Black Enemy

[Lyrics by Jäger, Busse, Swart]

The woods are lovely dark and deep
but I have promises to keep
and walk for miles before I sleep

I touch your face and your pale white skin;
your hands are folded on your chest
We used to dream in a dream within,
the time has come for you to rest

The fire burns and the hate still runs,
the love you swore was just a lie
My inner demons took my soul at once,
far from the grave I saw you die

The world will be another one, Black Enemy
Cold darkness, dead and gone
The world will be another one, Black Enemy
Cold darkness, dead and gone

And will you choose my words of wrath
or will I face your vicious death
In darkness we will disappear;
now we unleash our shades of fear

Shades of fear

I touch your face and your pale white skin;
your hands are folded on your chest
We used to dream in a dream within,
the time has come for you to rest, to rest

The world will be another one, Black Enemy
Cold darkness, dead and gone
The world will be another one, Black Enemy
Cold darkness, dead and gone

And will you choose my words of wrath
or will I face your vicious death

5. Descent Into Hell

[Lyrics by Swart]

Once more into the fray,
into this mass pollution
Death, disorder, decay,
there is no human solution

Yes! We are the enemy
Mass population; mankind's anomie
Delusion guides us to Hell
Wisdom of an evil spell

Wrath is what us all attacks,
death is what us all expects

Fooled by your divinity,
despite all mortal fear
Waiting for your devastation,
end of days is near

Awaiting the eternal fall,
the heavenly bodies aimless crawl
Wandering stars we've once adored,
this day we face the final Descent Into Hell

We Descent Into Hell,
bigoted deceivers, shelter you seek
No merciful fate, face reality,
coward disciples, no one will be reborn, reborn

Reborn

Wrath is what us all attacks,
death is what us all expects,
birth, strain of the future

Once more into the fray,
into this mass pollution
Death, disorder, decay,
there is no human solution

Yes! We are the enemy
Mass population; mankind's anomie
Delusion guides us to Hell
Wisdom of an evil spell

7. Nemesis

[by H. P. Lovecraft]

Through the ghoul-guarded gateways of slumber,
Past the wan-mooned abysses of night,
I have lived o'er my lives without number,
I have sounded all things with my sight;
And I struggle and shriek ere the daybreak, being driven to madness with fright.

I have whirled with the earth at the dawning,
When the sky was a vaporous flame;
I have seen the dark universe yawning
Where the black planets roll without aim,
Where they roll in their horror unheeded, without knowledge or lustre or name.

I had drifted o'er seas without ending,
Under sinister grey-clouded skies,
That the many-forked lightning is rending,
That resound with hysterical cries;
With the moans of invisible daemons, that out of the green waters rise.

I have plunged like a deer through the arches
Of the hoary primordial grove,
Where the oaks feel the presence that marches,
And stalks on where no spirit dares rove,
And I flee from a thing that surrounds me, and leers through dead branches above.

I have stumbled by cave-ridden mountains
That rise barren and bleak from the plain,
I have drunk of the fog-foetid fountains
That ooze down to the marsh and the main;
And in hot cursed tarns I have seen things, I care not to gaze on again.

I have scanned the vast ivy-clad palace,
I have trod its untenanted hall,
Where the moon rising up from the valleys
Shows the tapestried things on the wall;
Strange figures discordantly woven, that I cannot endure to recall.

I have peered from the casements in wonder
At the mouldering meadows around,
At the many-roofed village laid under
The curse of a grave-girdled ground;
And from rows of white urn-carven marble, I listen intently for sound.

I have haunted the tombs of the ages,
I have flown on the pinions of fear,
Where the smoke-belching Erebus rages;
Where the jokulls loom snow-clad and drear:
And in realms where the sun of the desert consumes what it never can cheer.

I was old when the pharaohs first mounted
The jewel-decked throne by the Nile;
I was old in those epochs uncounted
When I, and I only, was vile;
And Man, yet untainted and happy, dwelt in bliss on the far Arctic isle.

Oh, great was the sin of my spirit,
And great is the reach of its doom;
Not the pity of Heaven can cheer it,
Nor can respite be found in the tomb:
Down the infinite aeons come beating the wings of unmerciful gloom.

Through the ghoul-guarded gateways of slumber,
Past the wan-mooned abysses of night,
I have lived o'er my lives without number,
I have sounded all things with my sight;
And I struggle and shriek ere the daybreak, being driven to madness with fright.

8. God Is Evil

[Lyrics by Swart]

Borderline possession raised,
unleash the demons from my past
Electrify brutality,
the standing of my inner war

In fear I freeze,
triumph of disease,
vast burnouts I score,
struggling for evermore

Anxiety, despair and hate,
a restless life is burning fast
What you see is just a lie,
trapped in a life that's cursed to die

In fear I freeze,
triumph of disease,
vast burnouts I score,
struggling for evermore

Goddess of strife face me and rise,
warfare against all that will die
Battles I fought but never won,
bloodshed and tears for nothing and none

The craven believer
surrenders to God

Your beliefs in good or bad will be buried once you die
Forever absent, ruins of life, face the mirror of the lie
Sanity and love is gone, find the fiction of God's realm

Now I can see, God Is Evil
Now I can feel, God Is Evil

Enter the nihil, crawl into the void
In desperate cries I surrender to God

God Is Evil,
God Is Evil

Goddess of strife face me and rise,
warfare against all that will die
Battles I fought but never won,
bloodshed and tears for nothing and none

God Is Evil

Reality's strife, now I found my own Hell

Your beliefs in good or bad will be buried once you die
Forever absent, ruins of life, face the mirror of the lie
Sanity and love is gone, find the fiction of God's realm
Forever frozen, aged to none, here long your life is done

Borderline possession raised,
unleash the demons from my past, laid to rest

9. Traitor

[Lyrics by Busse]

Born into a world of hate,
death will be my certain fate
War destroyed my infancy,
my innocence and my dignity

You're forced to swap your toys for the barrel of a gun,
they teach you how to kill, there's no way to outrun
Under the burning sun my heart begins to freeze,
I suffer from repression, hunger and disease

Torn and deceived,
scorned and aggrieved

Traitor, what have you done?
Traitor, to the unprotected ones

Out in the desert fields the sands are turning red,
the sounds of war machines, they echo in my head
I close my eyes and taste the bitterness of steel,
just one more shot to be released from this ordeal

Lost and confused,
burned out and abused

Traitor, what have you done?
Traitor, to the unprotected ones
Traitor, your hands are stained with blood
Traitor, Traitor

There is no hope to lead a life in peace,
I know the end is here, may the death, may the death be my release

10. Prison In Flesh

[Lyrics by Busse]

Black clouds arise,
the sun has left the sky
No lights inside,
the storm has reached the shore
Negation, frustration,
all signs, they point to red
No hope or cure,
feels like my soul is dead

There's no more room to hide, my weakened body is a Prison In Flesh
No emotions left inside except my pain and my distress
All my senses disappear, I feel like nailed upon the cross
'Cause the million raids that I've repelled, they left a scar inside my soul

Struggle, these wounds will never heal
Sorrow, I'm far beyond control
Shadows, at night, they're haunting me
Darkness, all hope is gone

Negation, frustration,
all signs, they point to red
No hope or cure,
this curse is in my head

Running from this nightmare,
there's a fear so deep inside
Every night I wake up in my blood
while I scream out in the night
Holding out in darkness
for I know they're coming back
Gazing into blackness
and awaiting their attack

Struggle, these wounds will never heal
Sorrow, I'm far beyond control
Shadows, at night, they're haunting me
Darkness, I drown in agony, all hope is gone

11. The Dark Sleep

[Instrumental]
