NATTVINDENS GRAT LYRICS

1. Sethian Seal

"Wande in peace O Great Pharaoh to the land of Osiris in the west
No one will disturb your peace without punishment, the brotherhood will guard your rest"

Under the burning desert sun seven men shoveled away hot sand
To discover the door to an ancient tomb where rested the one born of a divine womb

When the door was discovered they opened it with greed
They didn't know what was to become their destiny
The protector of this tomb was...
The Curse of the Netherworld, it wanted them dead
The Curse of the Netherworld, the Sethial seal

"We warn you vile intruders, do never break this seal
Let the God on earth rule this hall alone, do not defy the power of the ancients"

Without caring about warnings the men broke into the tomb with golden glitter in their eyes
The vast richdom theu carried away to their homes only laughing at the curse as a joke

For two weeks they enjoyed the life of a magnate
Until the breaker fell into a coma and couldn't be saved
He had defied...
The Curse of the Netherworld...

After his death the thieves started to drop like flies until even the last one of them had died
They all had defied...
The Curse of the Netherworld...

2. The Dance From Beyond

When I lay down on my sheets and close my eyes
In sweat I wait for her to come and to enter my mind
Still one moment I always dive into sweet unconsciousness in the silence of the night...

The very moment I fall asleep my soul is torn off into a dream
A shadow with a female shape takes my hand and leads me
Over the forests and hills we fly among the clouds in nightly sky until we arrive at a glade
Where the shadows gather at night

The shadows dance in the night on the edge of two worlds, their foreplay to the kingdom come
The shadows dance in the night where past and present collide, the bridge for mortals unexplored

Between two elms I stand marroned on the edge of the glade
While waiting to get back I watch the shadow's obscene plain
Every now and then a flame flashes and washes away a few souls through the gates of hell where
He calls them to fulfill their fates

Twelve nights I've had this dream haunting me constantly by the dawn
She has always come and taken me back from this fantasy
But now the shadows surround me calling me enchantingly they grab me by my hands
And lead me towards the gates of no return...

3. Sleep Eternal In Gothic Archways

Nocturnal mist falls down like the shroud of a ghost of centuries pass
I walk alone through the monuments of remembrance
This drizzle chills my bones as the sound of steps across my resting place
Pondering the questions should the accuser finally come after me...
Don't believe in saviour and now I know I never will
Touched by indifference, touched by the hand of fate unseen
Gardens of stone become a monument of my mortality, there is no heaven
Hell has always been right here with me...
Death is not the end, perhaps a gate to sleep eternal, I shall begin my journey to unknown

Calmness enthralls me, I see the beauty of her soothing hands
I sense the footfall, she enters and she takes takes me by my hand
The darkness takes me, lead through in the misty veil of tears I am at peace now
In love with the eternal rest to be...

My chilling friend you come for me, unhallowed end the rest to be
Calm as you come for me, I come undone right in your hand that touches me..

4. Thelemite

A moonbeam peeks down from the tiny window to greet me trying to create some light in this lonely darkness
In these halls amongst the gothic images I dwell, created by artists living when I entered this hell
Yes friends since centuries I've haunted here forlorn, I know every single brick in these castle's walls
Gargoyles on the roof are my only friends, only yearning thoughts can I to my beloved send

I yearn her warmth and the gaze in her eyes, though it has been ages since the world heard her last sigh
Still I'm sure we will meet whenever I reach the beyond between our hearts there has always been
An unbreakable bond...

For centuries I've tried to sove the secret of gold, until I manage I'm trapped in these archways cold
Ages back the lord I served gave me this task, must find the answer though it might forever last

All these endless nights I carry out experiments on how to make make gold
Confidence eroded, but still hard at heart I know I must go on
People passing by at night can hear me sighing for my life
I only want to know would the lord have cursed me if it wasn't his wife...?

6. Sadoeroticart

To catch the rays of the lunar aura, sepulchral vow of fullmoon
My heart pounds faster and bestial instincts arise...
I'm refusing to bow, looking at your world raising my howl
Without mercy or bad conscience I'll watch it die...

I have it in my heart I have it in my soul, every night the mankind's fall
Don't feel heavenly grace but inernal might when I come out looking for you
I hyave it in my heart I have it in my soul, force the people mystified
Feeding force of anger, power from within, I'm killing the human inside

"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law", weaklings never succeed never oh no...
The nights I gather anger, the days I hide the need, just waiting for dusk and come and
Glowing cold to arrive...

7. Chaos Without Theory

The touch of rubber and clatter of chains, electric pulses from the brain, the ardour flowing
Through the nerves, a passage to eleventh heaven, pulses travel through chaotic seas
Painting the eyes with different scenes, visions bouncing back and forth like laser beams...

The Sadovenus, open her veils, the veils to the art of pain...

Riding, diving, up and down the waves of pleasure and pain
Climbing, sliding, the black silver rainbow from skin to brain
The beauty of pain, the angel in chains, underlying monsters will exacerbate
The beauty of pain, the angel in chains, dark side of Venus burns like a flame

Deep in the dark abyss in the fountain of Sodom roars thye jailed beast under a thin exogenous web
Out of the dungeon the nightside calls, the beast crawls and the art unfolds
The man of moral and righteousness hides face in shame

8. Liquid Silent Dreams

The children of banishment, souls overcast in abandon, with gaunt backs bowed in servitude
Let your fever grow in thine spirit awakening, life is but an interlude

The stubborn beast called flesh alive, Eros and Thanatos interwined, I'm beyond your experience
These souls of black defying light, devoid of colors, refuse to die, I'm beyond your experience

The ghosts that haunt the weak, that torture me by nightfall are voices from within my guilt
When all our hopes of pride and justice to be done are pierced by falsehood for a nail

Come into the courts of manhood and be weighed down...
Cast into the pit of reprisal within your mind, not me
Come look into the mirror of dreams and face the agony...
See the reason why despisal is your part before me...

So we find chos without the theory outside the guilding light
So we find madness without the method amidst the ancient night
Is this illusion not of this world but a dream within a dream?
Is this dreamworld a were punishment, a punishment for me?

9. Sorrow's Shroud

There's a silence in this empty head that reaches the furthest corners
Til where my eyes can see there's utter emptiness and I'm crawling towards the border

Brooding gloom is everywhere, I'm mixing my blood with chemistry
Chemical shelter where the world fades out
I'm dodging the silver tears...
Haphazard run-ins with eternity
O'm soaring to touch infinity
Searching bounds of my wretchyed brain my soul squirms naked in red rain
This station lacks arrival, departures well at hand, queuing for destruction of demand
Blackened thoughts surround this cage of bone that shelters my liquid mind...

I'm searching...if only I could find an exit out of this misery...
I'm searching...if only I could find a way out of my private hell...

I'm swimming through the darkness where unknown horrors fly
Earth is far beneath me yet I cannot touch the sky
Here be monsters, far and near, celestial melodies that my ears can't hear
I'm falling down, I'm searing up and everything in between
I'm falling down, I'm soaring up between joy and spleen...
