TRISTANIA LYRICS

1. Midwintertears

Shadowcast upon my heart
Endark... thy bleak midwintertears
Condemned to mourn in silence
The pale moonrise in her eyes
Serene... like a frozen stream
The flowing beauty in thy tears

I crave for thee my once beloved
Beyond... the veils of darkness lost
Where now thy roses wrapped in dusk
Tears... flowing through thy dreams.

[Vibeke:]
Silent she comes through the night
Desiring a silver light
Leaving, with dusk in her eyes
Descending from paradise

[Morten:]
All of us,
Souls she abuses,
Can only be achieved through death

Dark enchantress
I suffer thy fullmoon nights
Trespass my undesired darkness
Tears... flowing through thy dreams

Dark enchantress
The seventh fullmoon rise
I drown in dusk and dark rivers

Summon all my dreams
Like roses on your epigraph
Written in my tears
Thy sorrow and my bleeding heart

She comes so serene
My fallen beauty crowned with leaves
Take me to thy dream
Thy candle will forever burn in me...

2. My Lost Lenore

For thy promise bewailed
By her raveneyes
By her beauty and a scarlet sunrise
May thy river bury her silvertears
A fallen angel... enshrined in moonlit seas

Leaving vitality
So serene breeds my darkness
Entreating winterwinds
Though I leave... I embrace thee

Winternight
Conceal thy precious angellore
I secrete my soul
Under thy wings of sorrow
Dark I embrace thy eyes
Wander lost on life's narrow path
I reveal my heart
To this beauty dressed in dark

[whispering:] When my shadows devotedly cast
My moon will rise with lost

Grieving raveneyes
Falls asleep with the sunrise
Delightful midsummer breeze
Though I leave... I await thee

Winternight
Conceal thy precious angellore
I secrete my soul
Under thy wings of sorrow
Dark I embrace thy eyes
Wander lost on life's narrow path
I reveal my heart
To this beauty dressed in dark

Grant me thy last midsummer breeze
May thou ascend from endless sleep
... my desire
Dance me above thy moonlit seas
Glance yearningly into the deep
A cold and weary night

Widwinternight
Descending me like flakes of snow
I embrace the cold
For a life that morrows
Dark I embrace thy heart
Wanderer lost beyond veils of dawn
I conceal thy loss
Enthralled in life yet still I mourn
My lost Lenore...

3. December Elegy

May thou carry me to the sea
Like autumn leaves... heaven wither
Savage is the winter prevailing within
I fall for thee... Sorrow entreating me
Makes me leave heaven

[Morten:] Breed my night like tears of sorrow
Creep with life the days that morrow
Thee scent like snow

I find thy lilies there of snow
Where once I died... weeping for thee
Everlasting seems the strife ascending within
Falling for thee...
Darkness confounding me
Makes me leave life

[Morten:] Breed my night with thy sorrow

[Vibeke/spoken:] Examinate this pain like snow
Driven far from my efferly loss
Enter this extended night of sorrow,
Pain,flowing tears...

Breed my woe
Descend with broken wings
Midwinternight inside
Merged by life... like thousand
Frozen tears
Come melt the ice... maytime...

4. Pale Enchantress

Dark... thou embrace my bleeding heart
My dreams... uniting our tearful eyes...
Enchanting
At night... I kiss the serpent in thy tears
For years... thy sorrow I've mourned

Harken my moonchild's cry
Yearning for another night
Mourning my once beloved
Mesmerized and ravendark

[Vibeke:] Come to me with ?
Die for love in thy tears
Don't leave me in dusk
And moonlight...

My pale enchantress of the night
At last my candle's burning down
The wintermoon is shining bleak
[Vibeke:] bleeding time,walk from life
For thee my enchantress

Enchanting all my dreams
A beauty and her flood of tears
Nightfall embrace my heart
Mesmerized and ravendark

[Vibeke:] All my fears are striking me
My pale enchantress of the night
[Vibeke:] Nightfall is here,but thee...
I desire thee

Fearful I walk with thee... through dusk
Through winds of loss... Her beauty and her

Flood embrace my bleeding heart
Tearful I fall with thee... at last
Lead me there... to where thy shadows cast

They dance in velvet darkness lost

Rise... bleak winter fullmoon
Rise...

[Morten:] Thee in sleep desire fullmoon light

In life... I kissed the serpent in thy tears
For years... thy sorrow I mourned...

[Vibeke:] Come,see the garden(??), walking on...

5. Evenfall

Spiritus Domitus Est

Call thy name at nightfall
Oh reach out!
Reach out for thee life's rose
Cast thy veils at sunset
Trespass the waning in my halls
Prosperous beauty
Embraced!
Embraced by Eden's heart
Call thy name out tearful
Reveal to me thy deepest loss

Domini
Supra Totus
Sepultu

Cast, makes haste my savage wall
For an end

Domini
Supra Totus
Sepultu

Like savage, bleak night
In life thy tears grow scarlet

For thee my beloved
We shall freeze
There for this life with thee I bequeath
Like a promise bewailed by the sea
I still love in decidedly

Come desired nightfall
Enchant my grievous loss
Life bewailed at sunset
Trespass the shadows in my heart
Arise before me
Bequeath thy grievous loss
Dark at heart I mourn thee
Replace the vigor she once lost...

Domini
Supra Totus
Sepultu

Cast... makes haste my savage wall
For an end

Domini
Supra Totus
Sepultu

Like savage, bleak night
In life thy tears grow scarlet

6. Waste Land's Caress

I mourn thee by dusk
I mourn thee by dawn
Crave for thy gloss
To seek the silent glades beyond
Precious a glance
Thy veils now unfold
Tearfull she dance
Into this nightfall I behold

Grieve at night
Thy bereavement and thy loss in life
Grieve by day
Thy devotion and thy pass away

Beyond the veils of dawn
From where the siren calls

[Vibeke:]
Beast...
Desire me, desire me at dusk
Desire me, desire me at dawn
Breathing forever
The vigil that I lost
Painful was the night left in the eye
Painful was the night

The sunset seize within as I walk
Through velvet dusk and dawn
Condemned to rise and fall
So grievous through the night she calls
The beauty I once lost
I mourn thee my beloved

Far beneath thy heavens lost
Where I once pale and cold
Beheld thy rarest rose...

7. Angina (Single Version)

Through scornful declarence
and luminous eyes
the shadows en veil
with the glorious night
Trespassing the sunset
like thou hast before
Entreating the daylight
to rage nevermore
Angina striking Elysium
A frail remembrance glorificates
the nightside-ascendancy
veiled underneath thy funereal skies
The winds they may haunt me
in blood-redest skies
The moon may bewed
the strangest of light
The clasp of indifference
the conquering tide
The sweeping of daylight
...my vigour's decline
Thy Carrion Kind
Angina strikes Elysium
...a frail remembrance
Carrion Kind
My Carrion Kind

8. Opus Relinque (Radio Edit)

Challenge my own world to chaos
Thoughts to mind becomes
my arch enemies
Skin to teeth...
visions appears to me in red
Scouring my wounds with your spit
Down in apathy which is growing
Once dragged down within
a mayhem of light
Skin to teeth...ripping my inwards apart
Poisoned with wine from the sick
Silent to drowse with the phantoms
and let the fire engulf me
Sanguine rebirth
Sanguine divined rebirth
Now your faces facing me
as transparent masks
Still they pester me
Still they haunt...as placidity is borned
The remembrance...age of innocence lost
Ascend...
Fire dance with me
let me be the most licentious martyr
Sear me

9. Saturnine

At the day of wrath
there is but all
the concession of degeneration
none to me supreme...
