VAMPIRE LYRICS

1. Orexis

Lingering far out of reach
for the conscious mind
hovers a slumbering insanity
to which we are blind

The curtain falls down
The awe can begin
The truth is revealed
without and within

Cloaking the nature of things
in a comforting guise
under the coat of society
a darkness resides

The curtain falls down
The awe can begin
The truth is revealed
without and within

The veil is removed
and an eye glances back
Let go of it all and
we're under attack

Concealing the unpleasant truth
in a union of lies
behind the veil of reality
this monster abides

The curtain falls down
The awe can begin
The truth is revealed
without and within

The veil is removed
and an eye glances back
Let go of it all and
we're under attack

In the murk of the backyard at night time
in the gloom of the miscreant's vice
in the glance from the bypassing stranger
is a crack that sheds light on a netting of lies

2. Howl From The Coffin

In a barren churchyard
Deserted, secluded and bleak
Dwells a nameless horror
Under a nameless grave
Prowling in the shadows
watchers of the abyss
A peak of undead jackals
A band of undead ghouls

Piercing through the dark
A howl from the coffin
An inetfable sound
From the underworld

A howl from the coffin
Rises like a foul inverted dirge
a howl from the coffin
Cracks the stained glass
Windows of the church

With an eerie creaking
The lid of the tomb slides off
Unveiling a horrible secret
Unveiling a horrible sight
Prowling in the shadows
Protectors of the abyss
A pack of undead jackals
A band of undead ghouls

In a barren churchyard
Deserted, secluded and bleak
Dwells a nameless horror
Under a nameless grave
Prowling in the shadows
watchers of the abyss
A peak of undead jackals
Invincible guardians of Satan

3. At Midnight I'll Possess Your Corpse

The clock strikes twelve in the cemetery - nightside breakdown.
Something stirs in the underground, and at midnight I'll possess your corpse.
Demon mass in the cemetery. Dead, awaken!

The earth is moving and opens up, and at midnight I'll possess your corpse.
Creep on out of your coffin, dance to the bell chime, move your bones for the darkness.
All hail the night time! Something emerges from under ground, lit by moonlight.

The clock strikes twelve in the cemetery and at midnight I'll possess your corpse.
Creep on out of your coffin, dance to the bell chime, move your bones for the darkness.
All hail the night time! Time has come for the death strike from under the ground.
Rise and pull yourself together pound by pound.

4. Ungodly Warlock

Out of the depths of the local lore
Rises a rebel from hell
Keeping the keys to the netherworld
He wields an unbreakable spell

He forges the tenets of destiny
Exploring the wastelands beyond

Eternity within a wooden frame
The book is burning
With a yearning flame
On the cover a forbidden name
The unholy Eibon
A voice is calling from the other side
You can run but you can never hide
This house is haunted
Since the night he died
The ungodly warlock

He forges the tenets of destiny
Exploring the wastelands beyond

Unseeing eyes
In the grip of a baneful spell
Are leading the way
Down the timeless pits of hell

Woe unto him who opens
The gateways into the beyond
This house of old history awakens
With a murmur is secretes resound

5. The Bestial Abyss

Oh, the hellish winds of war!
The ropes come off at
The sound of the predators roar
Cries at the gates of hell
To the chime of the funeral bell
The fallen fly in hallucinating rage
Breaking the grid of the cage

From the depths of the tombs
The whispering doom

Blood running cold
The beat of the animal heart
Thunders below
Through the cold and the darkness
Through mud and through haze
On broken wings of destiny
Towards the end of days

From the dark of the womb
Emerges the ghoul

Under the hide of sheep
The lurking evil sleeps
Aroused by his dreadful kiss
At the call of the bestial abyss

Storms in the kingdom of the dead
Unspeakable torment ahead
Sounding the underworld knell
Gospels from the caves and
The high parapets of hell

From the depths of the tomb
Emerges the ghoul

6. Black Deserts

Powers from beyond the sky descend upon us
Alight wave of invisible decay burns within us

A nuclear strike from outer space opens the sky
earth becomes an ugly place - repent and die!

The human throne is overthrown
In a mess of twisted rust
Shattered stone and crumbled bone
Atomic whirlwinds stir the dust

At the horizon a shadow swells
And drowns us in ominous darkness
Mankind, afloat on a metal sea
Sinks to a bottom of no end

An ashem stormwind sweeps the plain
And cloaks us in gray
Uranic torrents of acid rain wind us away

7. Jaws Of The Unknown

Lost on a trip in the luring subconsciouness
At once i'm aware, i am hardly alone in here

Something is trying to choke me
In a sudden i fight for my life
Entangled and strangled

Tentacles crawl to embrace me
In an ugly cocoon made of flesh
The terror! The horror!

Where will it end - in a prison of insanity?
Am i condemned from the circles of reality?

The bed is turned into a shaft grave
The cheers make my funeral gown
Entangled and strangled....
Caught by the jaws of the unknown
I see that i'm fully awake

8. The Fen

Adorned with the bruise of the love bite
With eyes from the goat of the swamp
Beware of the look in the dark night
From the shroomed up teenage romp

Led by the light of the fullmoon
To a site of forbidden disgrace
The procession of underage vixens
Start to dance in the open space

La! La!
Hail to the goat of the old bog
Sancrus Wiru Akkha!
Rites in the face of the old bog

Gathered to kneel for the messenger
And the fury that lives in the ridge
They feast on the flesh of the sacrifice
Among the waters and swarms of midge

The roar of voluptuons fire
Leads the way with a distant-drone
The octopus under the mire
Comes to life every forth moon

La! La!
Hail to the goat of the old bog
Sancrus Wiru Akkha!
Rites at the edge of the ancient bog

9. Cellar Grave Vampire

Bred in isolation, spiritually unbound
Baneful animation risen from the ground
A red eyed demon banshee whore
Crowned in curlew guts and roedeer gore

Reared in the shadows of the forest collanades
Humming to the choir of the reaper's serenade
The baleful queen of the mountain tomb
Emmeshes you and leads you to your doom

Cellar grave vampire
Heathen night vampire
Harvest with vampire
Cellar grave vampire

A solitary cabin, a stairway underground
A mind inside the darkness fantasy unbound
A nude old women on the floor
Draped in lily buds and weathered thorn

Cellar grave vampire
Heathen night vampire
Harvest with vampire
Sex magic vamp prye

10. Under The Grudge

In the outskirts of the city, on a quiet dead end street,
In a house of narrow stories - that's where life and death will meet.

Who is hiding in the walls?
What is crawling down the stairs?
You won't leave this house alive.
You will die in a blur of blackest anger.
In a cloud of blind revenge
there's a pair of eyes that watches
and their aim will never change.

Who is hiding in the walls?
What is crawling down the stairs?
You won't leave this house alive.

You will die under the grudge.
Morbid beauty - blacker than jet.
Under the grugde, the sick curse is alive.
Enter the grugde. It never forgives, it never forgets.
Under the grudge, the sick curse is alive and you will die.

Who is hiding in the walls?
What is crawling down the stairs?
You won't leave this house alive.

You will die under the grudge.
Morbid beauty - blacker than jet.
Under the grugde, the sick curse is alive.
Enter the grugde. It never forgives, it never forgets.
Under the grudge, the sick curse is alive and you will die.

Resent is not an easy game, confronted wrongfully.
Stay and die like those who dared enter incautiously.
Touch upon Kayako's curse and your heart will halt.
This is where all reason bursts and you redeem your faults.

Under the grugde, Morbid beauty - blacker than jet.
Under the grugde, the sick curse is alive.
Enter the grugde. It never forgives, it never forgets.
Under the grudge, the sick curse is alive and you will die.

11. Pyre Of The Harvest Queen

A sacral crowd in white gowns is gathered in the grove
Contrasting to the sundown, The figures start to move
The ghost of earth is breathing in the rows of swaying wheat
The gratifying fire of winter needs to eat

Wattled heath and ivy to honor the unseen
Wickers in the image of the never-been

The beat of drums is pacing the chant of ancient names
The foe the crowd is facing has risen from the flames
The skeleton of autumn, inimical and mean
Heaps up above the Pyre of the Harvest Queen

With eyes fixed at the steeple embellished as a crow
The group of naked people is swaying to and fro
Their voices make a choir to the distant somber beat
The gratifying fire of winter needs to eat

12. Sleeper In The Deep

[Instrumental]

13. Night Hunter

From the foot of the mountain beyond sight
From the depth of the furthermost wood
Through the shadows that move with the moonlight
Comes the darkness is cloak and hood

Unto children who play 'round the pyre
Unto women who walk through the night
Unto mean sitting watch by the fire
Strikes the darkness that kills with a bite

The Hunter...
A stalker of human prey
On the loose 'til the light of day
At dusk you become it's prey
At your neck 'til the break of day

From the nethermost soil of the graveyard
From the hill of forgotten fears
Past the gate with the slumbering town guard
Sneaks the foe of a thousand years

Riding memories too hurtful to handle
On the nightwind that smells of the sea
Blowing into extinguish your candle
Comes Death to pay homage to thee

14. Hexahedron

Burning autumn rust
Decay and desire
Unbowed forest lust
Soul meets fire
Out of the old horn
Ancestral hunger
Flesh of the unborn
Ripped asunder

Hexahedron
Bleeding obelisk
Hexahedron
Six-faced monlith

Ecatatic nighttime burial
Vanquished beauty
Sacralizing Ariel
Lust and cruelty

Six secret pathways to the altar
The serpent god is waiting in the spoor
Six hidden gateways of the psalter
The idol head lies buried in the moor

Blood from the mountain in a bone-bound cask
The spray of the cardinal fountain paints your mask
