THIS GIFT IS A CURSE LYRICS

1. Haema

[Instrumental]

2. Blood Is My Harvest

I am death I ride the serpent
Scales of silver through the fields
To reap all / Their holy barley
Oh Haema feed earth

Under the constellation of Nachash / Bend to my will
When Blood is my harvest / We will merge as one

Through the eyes of Kain I know the future is cursed
Through the hymns of the fallen I find the black light
And through silver and blood the thirst for nectar
So let the blade fall / Open the floodgates
So let the blade fall / Spill the potion
So let the blade fall / Reap the harvest
So let the blade fall / Collect all that is mine

When Blood is my harvest / We will merge as one
When Blood is my harvest / I will take all that is mine
Under the constellation of Nachash / Bend to my will
Under a darkened sky we will merge as one...

3. Thresholds

"Giveth a name so I can come alive"
I have been chasing shadows in this mace
Catching nothing but chimeras...
And now I know the lies are within the flesh
and that nothing is real but the Seventh gate

So I will carry His torch
until my hands burn off
And beneath the threshold
I will ascend the house Man built
I swallow poison until the body breaks
I take everything you give until my body dies
All will wither / All will fade

"Give me a name so I can become a God"
I am a ruin in their eyes
This is the throne I sit upon
I carve the Gospel into it's frame
In symbols of ash and blood

And now I know the lies are within the flesh
and that nothing is real but the Seventh gate
Oh I see all / I see all
I am the end / I am the end of Light

4. Gate Dweller

Someone is watching
From underneath the burned out ruins
Someone is watching
Through the cracks in the wall
I stared back at the chaos from which we came from
I stared back at the smoke-heavy night sky
I stared back at the cold and suffocating void
I stared back
When your God stared away;
I stared back

"Något bidar sin tid i mörkret
Något dröjer precis utanför ljuset
Något följer i din skugga"

And when I cross back over
Hell will follow with me
Mark these words
Hell will follow with me

No law / the mirror is broken
No mercy / the seal is torn
No law / the old guard is dead
No mercy / the arc is falling

I can feel the dark earth turn under my feet...

When I break through the gate
Hell will follow with me
When I break through the gate
Hell will follow with me

And when you see me walking through that gate
Into the void / Into true light
I am not there / I am just not there
I was never here at all

5. Monuments for Dead Gods

Through clouds of rapid motion
Behind walls of flashing noise
I see them lying there / Dead as the fell / Frozen in time
Through the misy of the scarlet vale
I throw my seeds into the illumine well
I see clearly; monuments for dead gods
And I go into oblivion...

I / Set fire / Set fire to the icons of memory
Set fire/ Set fire to the pillars of shared truth

Before I leave I will choke the light
I will use everything they once took to tear them down
Before I leave I will choke the light
I will breathe nightmares into the vessel they call sleep

6. Wolvking

I, nailed my father's hands to the gate
To remind them who holds chaos
Drank of my mother's blood
and walking into the wild
I renounced our name in the night
and broke through the abyss

I came back from Erebos
To remind them who holds chaos
I can back from abyss
To lead them back into shadows

I saw His lies crawl over the altar
His song in the air / Venom in aerial drones
Made by the shards of a dark and fallen world
I stole your Scepter and made it my sword
I feel nothing
When I burn the temple down
I feel nothing
When I spill your blood on holy ground

Who will wear the crown?
Now that the king is dead...
I came back from Erebos
To remind them who holds chaos

I came back from abyss
To lead them back into shadows

7. I Am Katharsis

Like all the demons in your hell;
Casted away to be forgotten
Placed here by a jealous god
To vanish in the dark
But I see you / Shackled underneath
So speak my name I will set you free.U an Katharsis
I am the hidden pathway to your escape
I am the hand the guide the dagger into your enemies

Forcing my fingers through the cracks in the sky
I spew out like black smoke and heavy rain
I set the wolves loose / Encircle their walls
Forcing my claws through the stone

Never on your knees
Never on your knees again
Never on your knees
Break their every bone / Take back everything
There will be no trace / No trace after the flood
Break their crown of pride / Burn everything
There will be no trace / No trace after the flood
I am / I am Katharsis

8. In Your Black Halo

(MASS 317)

I speak thy true name so you will appear
Bear witness / Bear witness all you disciples of false light!
With fire in my hand I will strike the bell of Ananta
And in the night I call your name and I wait for the sign
Wait for the sign"

"Let me into your kingdom / Let me in for the end
I will come as your shadow
Cast me upon them / Let me be thy wrath
Cast me upon them / Let me swallow them all
And with a thousand fangs their world is destroyed
But you remain eternal / You remain fast"

Come sleep come forever in your black halo
I will swallow all light / I will swallow all light
With fire in my hand I strike the bell for the world...
...to be destroyed

9. Wormwood Star

The air tastes of silver and blood
My eyes are cut with mercury
Cast out a body of smoke and dirt
And my bones become like hollow shells
I am a hollow shell...

A great star burning like a torch
Fell from the sky into the rivers
Into the spring of waters
And it all turned bitter...

Of dark celestial decent
I see the mark as the sun blacks out
You stretch out like sackcloth of hair:
the key to the eternal night

The name of the star is Wormwood
And in the fall of light we take our true form
The name of the star is Wormwood
In fall of light we take our true form
