Awaken the Dark Spirits 04:36
lyrics
buy track
Devastated desert, burning remnants of land Hollow cries – they don’t matter and are of no help I am lost – within myself – helpless, Carried by the water to the other side Only a shadow of what I used to be A scream that makes my bones break – my heart stops The blood leaks out of my skin I am burning alive – or am I dead? A piercing shriek of despair, Followed by a mocking laughter I enter the burning fire in the cave The eternal fire of doom, flames of purity Awaken the dark spirits from the past, Long forgotten dark spells Dancing in the flames, with fire Powerless, like a marionette I let the unknown forces lead me Body and mind dissociate I can see myself in the flames’ embrace As if it were a dream A dream of another world And of another self Another existence, which is not life but death I can feel the flames Embracing my body The blood leaks out of my skin I am burning alive – or am I dead? A piercing shriek of despair, Followed by a mocking laughter The dark spirits are alive! The pain persists, There is nothing that can save you from yourself The letting go of your fears, Of your thoughts – it never happens

The Dance of Shadows 04:04
lyrics

I dreamt of rain and fire, Drops of rain dripping – slowly, magically Or are these drops of blood? And I dreamt of people – or creatures? Dancing in the fire Ghostly movement of silhouettes As if someone – or something – was pulling their strings A sinister dance of marionettes according to their will So pure and perfect I can go through fire and through water now And face Destruction! The dead body reunites with the earth, The waters wash away the rest The wind blows away the thoughts Blood soaks the ground Fire eliminates everything In the enchanting purity of its flames I can hear it now An eternal, universal melody never written down, Whispered by all those who died The dark spirits are gathering Around the fire, tethering The dancing silhouettes to an invisible lead To feast on the souls of the Dead (Of) the Lost (Of) the Fallen (Of) the Hopeless (Of) the Broken The dead now reunited in this world, A dimension I never believed even existed … Possessed by the burning fire I fall into the abyss without a bottom The dark spirits are gathering Around the fire, tethering The dancing silhouettes to an invisible lead To feast on the souls of the Dead (Of) the Lost (Of) the Fallen (Of) the Hopeless (Of) the Broken This is a dimension I never believed even existed … Or is it a state of mind? Possessed by the burning fire I throw myself into the abyss of flames Falling, drowning, burning Or just fading away? Now there is chaos Chaos everywhere! Now, here is fire Fire everywhere! Decay and return to the earth Will the soul rise toward the sky Or rather fall into the burning abyss Lost in the chaos of intrusive self-destructive thoughts This absurd deafening noise in my head Fruit of pure imagination An invisible poison Leading me to pass into oblivion

Chaos and Destruction 04:48
lyrics

I wake up trapped in fire, An enormous burning circle Melting in the scorching heat of infernal flames I begin to fall Suddenly in the void What was up is down now There is no left or right Not certain if I’m burning or drowning I am overwhelmed Devastated Abandoned thoughts, or pushed aside, Have submerged into the present This place is haunted And so is my mind The venomous thoughts of (self-)destruction This is the realm of fire This is the realm of chaos This is the realm of death Here dwells destruction Enter this fire The fire of doom Let the flames of purity Embrace you The blood is warming up, it boils The flesh departs from the soul All your life spinning in front of your eyes In light speed Falling down towards an inexplicable emptiness That used to be your life What is to expect? There was nothing when I lived And I am heading towards an even greater nothingness One who lives is destined to die One who rises is destined to fall One cannot escape decay and death Enter this fire (Burn!) The fire of doom (Burn!) Let the flames of purity (Burn!) Embrace you (Burn!) This is the realm of fire This is the realm of chaos This is the realm of death Here dwells destruction There is a certain inexplicable beauty of this darkness So dark yet blindingly bright Flashes of light of the burning fire In the deepest darkness one has ever encountered

Les Litanies de Satan 06:48

Ô toi, le plus savant et le plus beau des Anges, Dieu trahi par le sort et privé de louanges, Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère! Ô Prince de l'exil, à qui l'on a fait tort Et qui, vaincu, toujours te redresses plus fort, Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère! Toi qui sais tout, grand roi des choses souterraines, Guérisseur familier des angoisses humaines, Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère! Toi qui, même aux lépreux, aux parias maudits, Enseignes par l'amour le goût du Paradis, Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère! Ô toi qui de la Mort, ta vieille et forte amante, Engendras l'Espérance, — une folle charmante! Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère! Toi qui fais au proscrit ce regard calme et haut Qui damne tout un peuple autour d'un échafaud. Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère! Toi qui sais en quels coins des terres envieuses Le Dieu jaloux cacha les pierres précieuses, Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère! Toi dont l'oeil clair connaît les profonds arsenaux Où dort enseveli le peuple des métaux, Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère! Toi dont la large main cache les précipices Au somnambule errant au bord des édifices, Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère! Toi qui, magiquement, assouplis les vieux os De l'ivrogne attardé foulé par les chevaux, Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère! Toi qui, pour consoler l'homme frêle qui souffre, Nous appris à mêler le salpêtre et le soufre, Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère! Toi qui poses ta marque, ô complice subtil, Sur le front du Crésus impitoyable et vil, Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère! Toi qui mets dans les yeux et dans le coeur des filles Le culte de la plaie et l'amour des guenilles, Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère! Bâton des exilés, lampe des inventeurs, Confesseur des pendus et des conspirateurs, Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère! Père adoptif de ceux qu'en sa noire colère Du paradis terrestre a chassés Dieu le Père, Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère! Prière Gloire et louange à toi, Satan, dans les hauteurs Du Ciel, où tu régnas, et dans les profondeurs De l'Enfer, où, vaincu, tu rêves en silence! Fais que mon âme un jour, sous l'Arbre de Science, Près de toi se repose, à l'heure où sur ton front Comme un Temple nouveau ses rameaux s'épandront! — Charles Baudelaire
