SHADE EMPIRE LYRICS

1. 9 in 1

9 voices within me are tearing me apart
9 sickening ones bursting out
To open the gateway they must speak
with the same tongue
Ancient elements are waiting for the moment
when the stars are allied and the eye will open
Behold the great gathering, when the sun eclipses
behind black leather wings and the 9 becomes 1
The search is reaching its final climax
I got the key beneath my skin to open
the gateway of sin
Dance through the shadow and the flame
Awaken from the everfrost of time
The one spreads its wings
The vortex opens, it calls to its embrace
The world stops turning as time loses its meaning
The moment I at hand
One by one the predators of apocalypse
gather within me
I got the key beneath my skin to open
the gateway of sin
Behold, the marks on your skin show you the way
towards the flames
I wait as the sun eclipses behind
black leather wings
9 voices are now in harmony
I got the key beneath my skin to open
the gateway of sin

2. Adam & Eve

Black as the heart of Satan
Deep as the pits of Hell
I float in infinity
Each moment I die and then I'm born again
Time has no meaning
There is no place
There's only Oneself and the Blackflame
Chaos surrounding me, the inner peace
The awareness that the work has now been completed for this part of the path
Will the others follow, I do not care
The ultimate goal is still closer
and someone will take the next step for me
Still I'm here, but not in the form of flesh
I guide you, I'm the sixth sense
The union of both, sun and the moon
I'm in every flame, I'm in every shade
Union of both the sun and the moon
Still I am here, but not in the form of flesh
You feel me, you hear me, but you cannot see me
I am every flame, I am every shade
I'm behind your every word
I'm in the eyes of murderer
I am Adam I am Eve, I'm the serpent and the king
Son of fire and shadow
I am Adam I am Eve, I'm the serpent and the king
I am in every flame, I am in every shade
The union of both sun and the moon
Still I am here, but not in the form of flesh
I am in every flame, I am in every shade
The union of both sun and the moon
Still I'm here, but not in the form of flesh

3. Blood Colours The White

Hanging on a cliff
Groping for something I cannot quite reach
The fall is too deep
If I let go It will take all that's left of me
Blood colours the white
I'm mesmerised
It burns in my eyes
But if I look away I lose all that I have
My mind is turning black, it's burning
Faces from the dark turning
Through the scorched fields I am walking
Towards the gates
Who tells the truth?
I see faces but
the words they speak are unknown to me
The crooked serpent
The distance is too wide
How can I know what's happening on the other side
I want to let go
But then there's no turning back
I'm kept in the dark
I stand on my grave
No one is there
There's no name on the stone
Serpent around my neck...
The gates are still sealed
My mind is turning black, it's burning
Faces from the dark turning
Through the scorched fields I'm walking
Towards the gates
I have the key, but it's under my skin
Blood colours the white

4. Flesh Relinquished

I slay my wings and change into serpent skin
Reform my flesh and hide my face from the sun
The black flames inside devour everything
I rise from within and claim dominion
Through the 9 gates, through the pits of mind
Burn the fields of your old life
Peel off pity and remorse
Heart of chaos brings tranquillity
As it starts to burn
The power within thee
Brings forth thy hidden face
You will be crushed
As I claim the throne in your temple
Angels are gone, your palaces burn
You enjoy the rush
Your mind goes blank and you throw yourself
into the vortex of decadence
As it starts to burn
The power within thee
Brings forth thy hidden face
I call forth the shadow which I am
and always have been
Walk through the fire eternal
The flames no longer burn your flesh
I slay my wings and change into serpent skin
Reform my flesh and hide my face from the sun
The black flames inside devour everything
I rise from within and claim dominion
Through the 9 gates, through the pits of mind
Burn the fields of your old life
Walk through the fire eternal
The flames no longer burn your flesh
You become one of them
From the heart of chaos you'll find tranquillity

5. Harvesters Of Death

Humanity carries the knowledge of the beast
The living cannot teach the dead
but the dead can instruct the living
Empty faces
Bodies moving but hearts are not beating
nor is their blood warm
Legion that shuns no sacrifice
Their lives have already been given
Certain of their destiny
They are ready to merge in cosmos
Walking on a black earth towards a dead sun
Abandon human face and flesh
Incorporeal, but surrounding all of us
Abandon human face and flesh
The other dimension twisted where
the words of man do not reach
Where the serpent will devour itself
To fulfil the prophecy they are ready to
set the world on fire!
Harvesters of death
Walking among men
For a few short moments before the end
Walking on a black earth towards a dead sun
Legion that shuns no sacrifice
Their lives have already been given
Certain of their destiny
They are ready to merge in cosmos
Harvesters of death
Walking among men
For a few short moments before the end

6. Serpent-Angel

From the night crawled the serpent
Seduced to its toils
Plunged wisdom into mind, entangled into body
Moved in silence like the wind
Was present everywhere
Watching over your every step, the Serpent angel
Obscured one's sight
But yet gave vision to see all
Open your eyes in a new world
The paths have now come together and the destination has unveiled itself
You can now abandon your hollow shell
Your ragged thoughts are now crystal clear
All the elements are taking their place
The final encounter with the "others"
will start the last phase
Come on and step into the circle
We hold the key to the cypher...
You bear inside your mind
Eclipse now now the face of God that I have become in this darkened image
I move in silence like the wind, I'm present everywhere
I'm watching over your every step
I'm the Serpent-Angel
I gave you vision to see all
Now open your eyes in a new world
The paths have now come together and the destination has unveiled itself
You can now abandon your hollow shell

7. Whisper From The Depths

The depths are calling
Dark waters whisper, tempting to fall beneath
Where no light shimmers
Beneath the surface
those sunken eyes stare at to the sky
The broken star shines brighter
than the others now it's time.
The final breath, cold water, fills the tired lungs.
Dark veil embraces, your path here is done
Sink in cold womb
You are at the gates of your destiny
Drive away sickness
Drive away death
Beneath the surface
The final breath
The depths are calling
Dark waters whisper, tempting to fall beneath
Where no light shimmers
Sink in cold womb
You are at the gates of your destiny
Forget yourself and find greater connection
Drive away sickness
Drive away death
Beneath the surface
The final breath

8. Ecstasy Of Black Light

The skies have opened
The final chapter is writing itself
Hallucinations become reality
The insane now holds sanity
The structures of reality are twisted
As prey transforms into beast
Every creature is now equal
in the eye of Zero Nexus
They are all predators of apocalypse
The gateway is open
The chosen 9 will enter into the eye
The circle is finally complete
Now it's time to break it
As prey transforms into beast
Every creature is now equal
in the eye of Zero Nexus
They are all predators of apocalypse
The vortex opens
The chosen 9 will enter into the eye
The circle is finally complete
Now it's time to break it
The journey that once was their calling
has now given them Ecstasy of black light
Free from their human form they are now
part of the chaos they once reached for

9. Victory

As it burned
The fire within me brought forth my hidden face
I walked through the fire eternal
9 voices within me
Were tearing me apart
To open the gateway they had to speak
with the same tongue
So I slain my wings and changed into serpent skin
I hid my face from the sun
Serpent-Angel watched over my every step
As it burned
The power within me brought forth my hidden face
I walked through the fire eternal
I had the key beneath my skin
to open the gateway of sin
The vortex called to its embrace
Blood coloured the white
I walked through the scorched fields
towards the gates
There was only oneself and the Black Flame
I was in every flame
I was in every shade
Our legion shunned no sacrifice
Harvesters of death walking among men
The skies opened and the final chapter wrote itself
Predators of apocalypse were on a hunt
The chosen 9 entered into the eye
What is end to others is total victory for some
Predators of apocalypse were on a hunt
The chosen 9 entered into the eye
What is end to others is total victory for some
