2. Aerie Descent

[Music by S.W. Krupp and SA Titan, lyrics by S.W. Krupp]

While the moon poured its autumnal light
Upon this earth you roamed
You sought cures that never were
And never could be found

A moon rose and was crimson in colour
To unveil the coming form
That cripples the bile in your veins
And (that) ever comes again... and again

The moon shone with a fuller red
(And) the skin stretched pale on your bones
Offering all its untender care
The form took home in your souls

Aerie Descent to your world
To hunt their waiting prey
You surrender... you obey

The day dawned and was crimson in colour
To unveil the shapes of broken men
That (must) roam the earth again... and again

6. Melas Khole

[Music and lyrics by S.W. Krupp]

Do you ask
The purpose of your pain?
And are the black bile fluent
In your veins?

Are you the one
That luck disdains?
Are you the one
That hope repeatedly betrays?

(Have you lost your way?)

Then take my pleasant company
And marvel at my arts
I've sown my illest seed
In your hurt and sorry heart

I am melas khole

(Hope is a serum that never heals)

7. The Discipline Of Earth

[Music by S.W. Krupp and SA Titan, lyrics by S.W. Krupp]

Deep down in the black slime of this earth
The dead sink to Hell

Perfectly obscured
From the sullen hundred's stare
And upheld by strings of gold
Hang the sacred stars in the sky

While Jehovah lifts his sinister eye from our world
His laws do no longer compell
A swift wind of doom disturb the endless sleep
Of this indolent and effete

Deep down in the black slime of this earth
The dead sink to Hell
Obscured from the hundred's stare
Hang the sacred stars in the sky

Deep down in the black slime of this earth
Restless limbs are at work
Deep down beneath the dark tar of this land
Decrepit lungs crave air

If you could see through the strata of dirt
That cover these infertile fields
You would meet a thousand empty eyes
Endlessly seeking the invisible stars

One spectre of fire brought swiftly away
Upon a gust over the fields
To imbue within the forbidden life
The dead shall ride...

Years tore upon tarpid flesh
Those years have (now) come to an end
Disturbed to awake from their permanent sleep
The deade shall ride...
Over the earth

The spectres of fire are brought swiftly away
Upon a gust over the fields
To enlighten and lead the forbidden progress
Of the dead that ride...
Over the earth

8. Cosmic Keys

[The original "Cosmic Keys To My Creations & Times" by Samoth & Ihsahn. Re-written by S.W. Krupp]

I have seen the secrets
Of creation and time
The key is to be found
In a deterministic principle.
I used the key
Of fourth dimension
And I found that
Time is movement.
One can turn direction
Of the omnicalculation
Then all mathematics
Are possible to reverse.
I have seen the secrets
To the nature of life
Life is pattern, repetition.
