SPIRITUS MORTIS LYRICS

1. The Man Of Steel

Ultimate in body and soul
Every cell hard as diamond
Every thought crystal clear
Unbending
Unbreakable

Untamed free and wild spirit
Fearless, obeying no one
The man of steel

Able to stand the heat of god-forsaken deserts
And the cold breezes of Nordic hells

Crushing with the embrace of sole power
Cold and strict life force
The man of steel

Forever going
Never stopping
Never surrendering
Extreme in brilliance and courage

Rise with the man of steel
Strike with the man of steel
Drink in honour of the man of steel
Hold the banner of the man of steel

March with the man of steel
Rejoice with the man of steel
Die for the man of steel
Obey every command given by the man of steel

2. Death Bride

The mortuary horses
Were galloping merrily
When taking her away
For it was not just her funeral
But also our wedding day

In the hearse
Her beautiful coffin
Our blessed nuptial bed
How sweet and delicate the bride
So lively, even when dead

I vex my heart alone
She is at rest
They buried her
With a stone on her chest

I inhale her decay
I take her into my breath
I come upon the grave
My bride in death

3. The Rotting Trophy

Suck the blood from my veins
Cut me down, desecrate my grave

Bleed me dry and burn my skin
Grind my bones, let the journey begin

Like an empty vessel
Desolate
You have it now
But my spirit reigns again

Now, you down!
The tide has changed
There is no way out
You are gonna pay

In my destination
There is no use for hands
The secrets of that world
Eyes cannot see
In the comfort of my earthly grave
Lies the rotting trophy
Of your shallow victory

I let the worms devour my flesh
I am done with this planet's bloody mess

4. Curved Horizon

The agarthian masters sitting in their throne room
In deep meditation watching the surface-world's doom
The greed of mankind turned the world into a disgrace
Now everything will be destroyed by the ancient superior race

The purifying death blow beneath the earth's core
Seven deadly saucers rising through the ocean floor
No tears are shed when the exterior world dies
Into the polar opening our vimana flies

Winter darkness I have faced
And the shine of the summer night
Now I have come down here
To the world of eternal light

The forbidden city Shamballah
Beyond the curved horizon
The shrine of the greatest wonders
I've ever laid my eyes on

5. When The Wind Howled With A Human Voice

People standing silently
Staring at the sky
The colours there gathering
It's time to say goodbye

There is no one to warn them now
No one to raise his voice
The shadow passing by
All that is living is starting to die

The May rain will fall
The end of it all

Buried under the ruins of the city
Burnt by the shattering sun
The failure of the creation
The end has begun

Drifting in the river of life
Polluted by the human hand
The shadow passes by
No one left to stand

Nature cries, the view is shivering
Air is too heavy to breathe
Trees dance in anxiety

A civilization too proud
The concrete jungle collapsing, falling to dust
The angels of the blind god laughing
The lesson of Babylon forgotten centuries ago

Ears are bleeding
Under waves of unbearable noise
Nature cries
The wind howls with a human voice

6. Heavy Drinker

I am on the streets again
In my head a chaotic swarm
This night will be cold
Infernal liquids keep me warm

Left alone, no friends in sight
The streets are full of human scum
Don't know where I shall sleep tonight
Will tomorrow even come?

Lord have mercy on my soul
I feel sick inside
Unable to find my goal

Out of the blue, a familiar face
A bottle of nitrate in my hand
I am led to another place

Sniffing and drinking
Swallowing unknown pills
Laughing and crying
In every corner new thrills

It's seven days and seven nights
Since I was shanghaied from my home
Now I lie in someone's basement
And I do not know where to go... next!

7. The God Behind The God

Passionate onanists standing under the crucifix
The heavens are pouring tears for the nailed one
A wall of flesh is build with human bricks
When the demiurge reigns supreme the true god is done

The false prophets of the Old Testament vomiting a thousand lies
Man-made rules tied together with the saviour's blood
But the ones within the truth are opening their eyes
Fearlessly encountering the god behind the god

Sacred names printed with gold on black parchments
Truth decoded from meaningless paraphrases
Underground sects performing pure sacraments
Summoning the hermaphrodite god of multiple faces

The children of Bethlehem are buried under the mourner's bench
But their souls dance high above in the heavenly hall
Transcendental flowers cover the profane stench
At the feet of the pharisees the earth-bound maggots crawl

8. Perpetual Motion

You gave yourself to me
That was not enough
I need more than anyone can ever give

I won't stay middle of the road
I will go to extremes
I want to learn what it means to "really live"

Now I purify my soul in the flames of your hatred
I offer my flesh to be burnt in your hellfire

But I will never return to the temple of your heart
I will never be captured
I set fire to out love's funeral pyre

When the new day dawns
I am gone
Here I go again
I am on the run!
