Voice Of Shadows

[Instrumental]

Tro Og Kraft

Sannhet og tro mot en makt
Gudløs, men aldri forlatt
Naken mot alle mann
Lucifer, hvor er daggry!
Min sønn og min byrde, jeg er her for deg
I dag og i morgen, vent på mitt tegn

Et skjær under stormens bølger
Knuser, legger dødt
River, herjer, vrir seg omkring
Vi blåser i horn, nå er det krig

Snu...
Vend...
Hit...
Mot det andre
Kalde blekne tone
Mot et annet rom
Klart over, uten under
Vissheten om det...

Ruiner, ulmende glød
Sevjen av gammel vrede
Vi tror deg, vi ser deg, marsjerer for deg
Templene brenner, det er dagry

Snu...
Vend...
Hit...
Mot det andre
Kalde blekne tone
Mot et annet rom
Klart over, uten under
Vissheten om det
Tro og kraft

Flakkende lys fra det veldige dyp
Stråler, her er evig

Snu...
Vend...
Hit...
Mot det andre
Kalde blekne tone
Mot et annet rom
Klart over, aldri under
Vissheten om det
Tro og kraft

Our World, It Rumbles Tonight

Smoke
Across the night sky
Tears the black open
Glows
Towards the earthbound
Breaks the light down

This moon
This moon
This night
This night
This sign
This sign
That symbolizes to me what must be done

Shadows that mirror and nurture the spirit

[2x]
My world crumbled
Your world
A star
Our world, it rumbles tonight

No mask
Pure will
One hand
One blade

Shadows
Sink

Summon the unwanted
And gather for a (final) journey

My world crumbled
Your world
A star
Our world, it rumbles tonight

Nocturnal Flare

The beast of the land
It stood right here
Twilight of the gods
Serpents - those with fangs
To conquer, to rule, to own
No days have passed
To conquer, to rule, to own
Daylight's gone
Conjure, the past
Mortals - those with spines
Gathering of men
March! onwards to death!

Hear the call from the voice of the elders
The tide will turn whenever you want
Nocturnal flare - hallow cries
Nocturnal flare

Echo the howl of the lonesome night
Naked trees and shivering leaves
Nocturnal flare - hallow cries
Nocturnal flare

To conquer, to rule, to own
No days have passed
To conquer, to rule, to own
Daylight's gone
Silence, hear the hooves
Of the legion
Blades, jingle, angel of death

Man must answer to the sign of the end
Such is the law of the universe
Nocturnal flare - hallow cries
Nocturnal flare

The grave of our kind, lies open to us
And nothing can hold us back
Nocturnal flare - hallow cries
Nocturnal flare

Phoenix

Into the night
My long suffering friend
We'll be reborn again
Right here where everything ends

Face to the sky
A trail of smoke in the air
Pass into emptiness
New life's awaiting you there

Slave to some wretched old imagination of yesteryear
All that grows in the skulls of the living are flowers of fear

The morning red
A sun god calling you back
Down through a thousand years
White embers whistle and crack

Await the dawn with her kiss of redemption, my firebird!
You were the queen of the souls of men before there was the word

The morning new
The morning red
The fiery promise
Mad swirling smoke
Wheels round her head

Dedication to the queen of souls,
Her lost disciples
And when the fire's work is done
Our time to be reborn

By pagan streams
A wind whips the leaves from the trees
And it is revealed to us
That we are dreams within dreams

Born from some wretched old imagination of yesteryear
Now all that grows in the skulls of the living are flowers of fear

The morning new
The morning red
The fiery promise
Mad swirling smoke
Wheels round her head

Dedication to the queen of souls,
Her lost disciples
And when the fire's work is done
Our time to be reborn

The morning new
The morning red
The fiery promise
Mad swirling smoke
Wheels round her head

Dedication to the queen of souls,
Her lost disciples
And when the fire's work is done
The phoenix now reborn

Walker Upon The Wind

In darkness
Underneath
The above
Swordbearer
Son of a tornado
He lies in the slumber of (dark) clouds

Born by a thought
He flies through the thunder of wars
Swirling
Ripping

Ultimate destroyer
Unspeakable avenger
Walker upon the wind
Hunting, piercing
(The) ultimate, roaring
Walker upon the wind

Son of a tornado
He lies in the slumber of (dark) clouds
Mourned, feared, adored
Accursed one, torn one, marked one

Ultimate destroyer
Unspeakable avenger
Walker upon the wind
Hunting, piercing
(The) ultimate, roaring
Walker upon the wind

Nekrohaven

I gave you a sign
with my bare hands
from the underworld
I drove you around
with no remorse
and now I'm dead to you
You saw my head spin
with your own eyes
I'm not immortal
it's broken you down
and torn you apart
and now I'm dead
Find me
take me
to the void. To the crooked nest
to Nekrohaven
The bestial screams
a life devoted
to the occult
the flickering lights
my dream came true
and now I'm dead
Find me
take me
to the void. To the crooked nest
to Nekrohaven
Now all men weep
in my bare hands
'cause the lion
no longer roars
and now I'm dead

Find me
take me
to the void. To the crooked nest
to Nekrohaven

Ageless Northern Spirit

The winds
Sing their song
And I listen
They always sing
For those who listen

The lonely dark
Morning haze
Mountains who speak
Of time before time
Scattered snow
Hold the fort!

Winter - wake me
Fire - burn me
Fearless with horns
Ageless northern spirit

Faint cries from ocean birds
Rays of light down the valley
Tore me out of my rhythm
Listen...

Winter - wake me
Fire - burn me
Fearless with horns
Ageless northern spirit

Introspective and grateful

Winter - wake me
Fire - burn me
Fearless with horns
Ageless northern spirit

To the front!
Stand up!
With heart
Tuned in
Ageless northern spirit

The Infinity Of Time And Space

Take me down to the core
Of the innermost deep within (myself)
Show me and help me capture
The seed of my existance
And understanding of my purpose

Guide me in grasping the nerve
Of my own melody
Golden star
Shining light
With power to dissolve

The most scattered mind
Into a state of contentment

Hunter, warrior
Crawls his way through the universe
Hunter, warrior
The stage is yours
I can no longer rule

Who made who...

A few naked trees in an open field?
Or something with a higher purpose
And sense of being

Dance with me
And try moving
To my rhythm
You and I...
We can move together, together

Hunter, warrior
Crawls his way through the universe
Hunter, warrior
The stage is yours
I can no longer rule

Make the world spin and heads bow
Know that devotion is our daily bread

Faitful ye, hear me now
The golden star is here

Hunter, warrior
Crawls his way through the universe

I must carry this torch with him
Bring us all together to the finish line
