SIEBENBURGEN LYRICS

1. Exordium

(At the end)

"If I show you Heaven...you must show me Hell."

2. Plagued Be Thy Angel

Wings cut until perfection, her shadow turns darker than night
As light is cursed from her bleeding womb
And her sanity banned
Shimmering blisters, lost Eden burned to ice
All fiends and beasts adored
Pointed daggers shaped her withered flesh
And betrays once more...

A father who ravaged, with the son of a whore, mating with a spurious ghost...

Cherished, nursed and defiled, faded forms feathers fell
Stalking the nightshade earth as undead
Fate was stronger than her dreams of death
Pinned to the ebony surface, impaled through her wrists
Luring through utter darkness, wearing thorns in bloodied crowns

From divine to deviant, she split her pleasures into trinity
A father who ravaged, with the son of a whore, mating with a spurious ghost...

"Alone she will break and alone she will bend
When all light has fled, when all hope and love is dead
An outcast from heavens grace, banished and exiled
Oh, benignant Divine - plagued be thy angel..."

As darkness embraced her, and gained her delights
Bestowing sacred gifts
As bitter bounds of flesh arose, extending her sacrifice
Oh ,let pain be thy pleasure, and pleasure be thy pain
Never to abide, nor serve the divine
A form shunned for eternity

A father who ravaged, with the son of a whore, mating with a spurious ghost...

"Alone she will break and alone she will bend
When all light has fled, when all hope and love is dead
An outcast from heavens grace, banished and exiled
Oh, benignant Divine - plagued be thy angel..."

...A creature dismayed, black bloodied and plagued
From oblivious nightmares she crawled towards the dawn...

Cherished, nursed and defiled, faded forms feathers fell
Stalking the nightshade earth as undead
Fate was stronger than her dreams of death
Pinned to the ebony surface, impaled through her wrists
Luring through utter darkness, wearing thorns in bloodied crowns

From divine to deviant, she split her pleasures into trinity
A father who ravaged, with the son of a whore, mating with a spurious ghost

"Alone she will break and alone she will bend
When all light has fled, when all hope and love is dead
An outcast from heavens grace, banished and exiled
Oh, benignant Divine - plagued be thy angel..."

3. Destination Supremacy

Shadows, forthcoming darkness
Take me as I am...
Dead but believing, never deceiving
The perpetual wounds of faith

Surrounded by falling angels
That departed heavenly grace
Destination supremacy
Dreaming as we burn...

"I watch with eyes repellent, down on purest ones
Descending from my haunted keep, gazing in disgust
Darkness guides me, I am eternal, advancing towards death
Filled with wrath, opposing shallow light...I am the night..."

Shadows, my true fiends
I am now as thee
Solid and perpetual
Ageless I will be...

Surrounded by falling angels
That departed heavenly grace
Destination supremacy
Dreaming as we burn...

"I watch with eyes repellent, down on purest ones
Descending from my haunted keep, gazing in disgust
Darkness guides me, I am eternal, advancing towards death
Filled with wrath, opposing shallow light...I am the night..."

4. Father Of All Lies

Welcome to my world below
I grant thee pleasures unknown
Bestow thy sins, forfeit thy soul
Praise me as thou fall...
Cast thy self before me
Pray on bended knee
Be my shadow, serve my ways
As given unto thee...

Seven sins
Seven ways to heed...
...Seven sins
Seven ways to heed my destiny...

"Behold my visions, remember my past
I am the lord of the flies
In feeble rapture, weak adore
Twelve bastards and a whore
So choose your path, left or right
I am the father of all lies"

As above, so below
Another kingdom, another grace
I bid thee welcome, to the inverted
United in flames
Don't fear the reaper, thy only foe
And thy key to me...
In death thou will find
The powers of darkness entwined...

"Behold my visions, remember my past
I am the lord of the flies
In feeble rapture, weak adore
Twelve bastards and a whore
So choose your path, left or right
I am the father of all lies"

Welcome to my world below
I grant thee sights unseen
Bestow thy sins, forfeit thy soul
Praise me in thy fall...
Cast thy self before me
Pray on bended knee
Be my shadow, serve my ways
As given unto thee...

Seven sins
Seven ways to heed...
...Seven sins
Seven ways to heed my destiny...

"Behold my visions, remember my past
I am the lord of the flies
In feeble rapture, weak adore
Twelve bastards and a whore
So choose your path, left or right
I am the father of all lies"

5. The Night Alit

Her shadows mourn in moonlight
Dark traces for the soul to feed
Each wound that transforms her
Is mine to conquer and bewitch
As storms breathes inside of her
Winds of faith heals and grieves
This temptress that haunts my desire
Turned death endlessly against me

I draw the circled pentagram extreme
Wishing that death would reanimate
That flesh becomes the truth
Amongst the stars above her bones
Shattered, abused by the night
Torched alit by graveyard mists
That died together with her sins
Shaping her frigid flesh dead and dried...

By spells of sacred daughters
That departed their misdeeds
I crave my nightly courtesan
To violate my sense again
And as the final sunset
As the moon, the stars, the sky...
I placed my soul in gratitude
To darkness, to the gates of pain...

"Behold its glory, the night alit,
Our shadows painted, in the light of the moon
Our dark secrets, unknown to mankind
As I, the breeder, devoured thy mortal soul..."

Wings aroused, as moonlit flesh emerged
From wastelands deep down the ground
As icons in stone bowed for the animated dead
I forced thy entry to the final world

"Behold its glory, the night alit,
Our shadows painted, in the light of the moon
Our dark secrets, unknown to mankind
As I, the breeder, devoured thy mortal soul..."

My slumbering beauty, possessing nightly grandeur
Endless, and forever, I am thine, eternally
I was spellbound from eyes of sapphire jewelry
And the sins from the depths of thy soul

Enchanted by thy darkness
My Queen of lust and urge
I watched thy shadow, mourning in the dark
So cold and dead, so dead and dried
Seductress of my dreams, I wither with thee
My flesh, my true nocturnal blood...

"Behold its glory, the night alit,
Our shadows painted, in the light of the moon
Our dark secrets, unknown to mankind
As I, the breeder, devoured thy mortal soul...

6. Angelic

Embraced by the nightmares thou forced me to dwell
Caressed by thy horrors which I into fell
My darkest angel, my temptress of night
Glorificator, of lust and delight

I am lost in thy dark desires
Thy serpentic Eden of flesh
Through splendid creations which thou me into lured
I faced the dreams, drunken from thy wine

"As moonlit silver whispered through mysteries eyes
And ravens seeded sorrowpaths in faded thine
Thou hungered for lust and passion dark
When sin stroke thy hands into bloodied mine"

Call out and I will follow
The dark paths that thou cast before me
I will treasure them as night treasures shadows
And flee the light above

Sorrows that we burnt together
Memories that faded away
The tears that we dreamt forever
Will eternally greet us our death

As night spreads its wings in silence
And all that remain is pure
We gather our screaming horrors
In awe to our precious sins

7. For The Ones Who Sleep

8. Skändat Sinne

I de djupaste av skogar,
I ett mörker svart som hat.
På en plats där ondska frodas,
Där sökte jag mitt svar.

Iakttagen av de döda,
Letar jag mig fram.
Till porten som för evigt öppnats,
Den port som bär mitt namn...

I den pakt som jag nu svurit har,
Jag på mina frågor funnit ett svar.
Utvald av ödets makter,
Förfördes jag av mörkrets krafter.

För evigt brinna för att allting få,
För evigt ensam kommer jag att stå,
För evigt brinna för att allting få,
För evigt försvinna för att allting förstå...

"I de djupaste av skogar,
I ett mörker svart som hat.
På en plats där ondska frodas,
Där har jag funnit svar...
...Och aldrig mer kan jag åter färdas,
Till okunskapens tid.
Ty den kunskap som jag nu besitter,
Ger mig aldrig frid."

Märkt av döden vandrar jag,
Likt en skugga in i de dödas dal.
Där döda ögon mig bevakar,
Och döda själar aldrig mer vaknar.

För evigt brinna för att allting få,
För evigt ensam kommer jag att stå,
För evigt brinna för att allting få,
För evigt försvinna för att allting förstå...

"I de djupaste av skogar,
I ett mörker svart som hat.
På en plats där ondska frodas,
Där har jag funnit svar...
...Och aldrig mer kan jag åter färdas,
Till okunskapens tid.
Ty den kunskap som jag nu besitter,
Ger mig aldrig frid."

9. The Roses Bleed At Night

Stars brightly shrouded,
in dark silver light
Abandoned by the tyrants,
that rests in vicious death
This precious womb,
with glimpsing lips, enthrones
As shadows cast their splendid dreams,
and arose

With perfect beauty,
death rises with grace
Unveiling her tomb,
seductive and cold
Painted in colors
of the painful night
Sacrificed,
and eternally forgotten

In search for thee,
I placed my soul, in gratitude
Gazing into the mirror black,
when all life faded away

Sacred ones, no longer stalking.
though the dark night allured
The ritual sins, blessed to be,
an everlasting Eden

"As blood red roses
withered on thy grave
And flesh beheaded thy pain
Thou glowed
with immortal anger warm
And the hatred of the undead..."

Possessing the glory, that lies below
Her own cunting garden of delight
Tears whipped white from eternity
Scarlet serenades, mourns and grieves

Stars brightly shrouded,
in dark silver light
Abandoned by the tyrants,
that rests in vicious death

This precious womb,
with glimpsing lips, enthrones
As shadows cast their splendid dreams,
and arose

With perfect beauty, death rises with grace
Unveiling her tomb, seductive and cold
Painted in colors of the painful night
Sacrificed, and eternally forgotten

"As blood red roses
withered on thy grave
And flesh beheaded thy pain
Thou glowed with immortal anger warm
And the hatred of the undead..."

10. As Black As A Midnight Heart

Wings of angels, shaded the sky
And stained the sunset with ebony stars
Sorrow met madness, and daggers consumed
Ashes of beauty, forlorn and defiled

Behowling the purity of death
The vicious temptress divine

"...Forever have I searched for thee, my nocturnal bride
Through centuries I have waited, but now thou art mine
I know that nothing is forever, and that dawn will do us apart
I shed no tears or sorrow, I have kept thy midnight heart..."

Passion and paleness, oaths of past
Pleasures of urging pain and fear

Shrouded darkness, the wicked enthrones
The priestess of timeless lust arose
Laid to rest, but slumbers not
Deceived by her fearless dreams

I buried thee
My mistress nocturne
I drank thy bitter wine,
And tasted thy world bizarre
Thee brought me madness,
That I am sure
But sands of time came closer,
Farewell my bride, farewell...

"...Forever have I searched for thee, my nocturnal bride
Through centuries I have waited, but now thou art mine
I know that nothing is forever, and that dawn will do us apart
I shed no tears or sorrow, I have kept thy midnight heart..."

Pale as moonlight are the lilies on thy grave,
Never fading, just like thee...
Thou art with me, we share the same dream,
Thy blackened treasure, now belongs to me...

"...Forever have I searched for thee, my nocturnal bride
Through centuries I have waited, but now thou art mine
(Even though) I know that nothing is forever, and that dawn will do us apart
I shed no tears or sorrow, I have kept thy midnight heart..."

11. Her Shadows Adored

Her creation was mine,
obliterated form her embracing dreams
Poisoned, intoxicated she gained
the pleasures of night
I stole her sanity,
my blood was hers to keep
An anthem for the shadows to dwell...

Black stars enshrouded her,
she opened her eyes
And saw the dawn of time...
Experiencing the wicked ways of the lie...
I buried her deep down inside...

"...From her mourning cape,
black feathers turned to dust
Adored by shadows,
grand whore of the night
Born in sin, spawned from my lust
An angel hidden from her light..."

Shadowqueen, come closer,
dwell with me in sin
Reveal thy inner sanctum,
possess me, dominate...

As tranquility sought madness,
spellbound from within
She met her damnation,
my deadly kiss, her fate...
I devastated her mortal grave,
cleansed and purified

I led her into temptation,
and through the darkness of all her fears
Dying and abused, she was used,
as the template of my hunger
Deceived by her own moralization
of her crimes...
...she fed my world complete

Her creation was mine,
obliterated form her embracing dreams
Poisoned, intoxicated she gained
the pleasures of night
I stole her sanity,
my blood was hers to keep
An anthem for the shadows to dwell...

Black stars enshrouded her,
she opened her eyes
And saw the dawn of time...
Experiencing the wicked ways of the lie...
I buried her deep down inside...

"...From her mourning cape,
black feathers turned to dust
Adored by shadows,
grand whore of the night
Born in sin, spawned from my lust
An angel hidden from her light..."

12. Deliverance

Silently fading into the unknown
Waiting for darkness to take my soul home
This life gave me nothing but a name for my grave
A long wish to die, and escape from the pain
The righteous may bless the old and the young
But I was not blessed by anyone
And now when it's over, it wont take long
Until I descend, until I am gone...

THY KINGDOM COME

BLESSED BE THE POOR
BE THE SICK
BE THE MEEK
AND BLESSED ART THEE
BLESSED BE THE OLD
BE THE WEEK
BE THE YOUNG

13. Jawbreaker

[Limited edition bonus track]
[Judas Priest cover]

Deadly as the viper peering from its coil
The poison there is coming to the boil
Ticking like to time bomb
The fuse is running short
On the verge of snapping if it's caught

And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode Jawbreaker

Crouching in the coner
Wound up as a spring
Piercing eyes that flash are shimmering
Muscles all contorted
Claws dug in the dirt
Every ounce of fibre on alert

And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode Jawbreaker

[Solo]

And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode Jawbreaker
