I don't mind the fall
It's the climb from the bottom
That hurts the most

Here today, a stab of emptiness
Divert your eyes
From the judgemental stares
So nonforgiving
Yet what do they know
And what have they seen
I cannot do it

[Chorus:]
I plunge myself against these rocks of ice
Go
Helldriven hounds now on my trail

To play a part
Uphold a bland facade
Do the expected
If only nothing remained
Of facts and furies
These are the seconds
That will not be forgotten
This is the time
What have I done
What do they know
I cannot do it

Eyes on the prize
Yet never tell them
In shadows hide it
What eyes can tell
How well you know
Familiar urges
The same old place
Where you will know it
And they will pay

Empress Of The Night - Beyond Shadows

Days go by unattended by me.
Weeks and months go by,
I just can't see.
All that matters is I'm with you soon,
On this stormy afternoon.
Dream of you every night in my sleep,
Wake up next day, oh I wish I could creep
To your room just to lie in your arms,
Dazzled by your charms.

Think of what we could be,
Don't ever set me free,
We are more than just good friends,
Our love will never end.
I think of you my dear,
I surpass every fear,
The most beautiful sight,
Empress of the night.

Darkness falls on a dormant day,
But empress come out and play.
Fly through the town on wings of black,
Don't ever go back.
Take my hand I won't let go I swear,
Capture your beauty in an eminent stare.
People say perfect is a fiction,
You are my perfect addiction.

Think of what we could be,
Don't ever set me free,
We are more than just good friends,
Our love will never end.
I think of you my dear,
I surpass every fear,
The most beautiful sight,
Empress of the night.

Sun of the Night

Shadowscapes form a web across the sky,
And steal the light that runs the engine of my heart
Deceived by clouds but I know it will soon return, to watch my every move,
like an eye in the sky
Lunartic, obsessed I am indeed, I will gain no strength this moonless night
Heavens heart or just a long forgotten stone
All life lost, or is it yet to come

The stars will be alone in the firmament tonight
Shadows grow stronger across the sky
The sun prepares for battle
The night is soon to die
Vicious beams will soon obscure the presence of the sun of the night
The presence of the sun of the night

My soul despise the dawning and the light that it will bring
Doomed to be nocturnal
A creature of the night
Another dawn dilutes the dark void where I can live
The rays of light burn my skin and ravage my desire

I close my eyes and I await the vengeance soon to come
When the dusk will bring the unlight and heal me once again

I have to return to my tower before the twilight will drain me of life
Tomorrow I need to be caressed by the moonlit sky or my soul will be carried away by the light

Just like the sun of the night
Just like the sun of the night



Shadowscapes form a web across the sky,
And steal the light that runs the engine of my heart
Deceived by clouds but I know it will soon return, to watch my every move,
like an eye in the sky

The moon is mine
Oh how I long to be one with the sun of the night
Oh how I long to unite with the sun of mine

Shadowsouls

as day turned to night, i saw the end approaching

no hope for us, but yet our faith stays strong



kill them, hatred, flows inside my weins,

this will be the end of our days

all is lost but this blood will stain

my hands, my heart



die by my hand, all you hopeless ones

deep down, my heart, darkest blood it runs

through my veins its fire's burning bright,

you won't live through the night



my eyes are blind, i won't survive



years ago my life was torment

in the shadows i wait for my moment

to take your life, to make you pay

under the cold moon you lay



i care not for the emptiness inside

for in the end of this night

it will be gone, i will be whole

your blood to mend my broken soul



as day turned to night, i saw the end approaching

no hope for us, but yet our faith stays strong

no blade to take my life, no pain to make me suffer

this was the end and yet out faith stays strong



air's filled with, air's filled with blood's scent,

i won't live through the night.

my heart is, my heart is dying,

i won't live through another night!

Fixation on the Darkness

fixation on the darkness that engulfs this world

drain the life force of our people, change

return to the womb, new life

lay your head to rest, mercy

to give you a peace of mind, lay your head to rest

come together inside, this body is only a shell

change, the only way we will survive

light transfiguration of the soul, of the soul, of the mind

tell them they will not hold us down, it's time for a change

This revelation is the death of ignorance
tangled in a state of suffocation
slave to self righteousness
damnation is on your lips

from sorrow to serenity, the truth is absolution
from sorrow to serenity, it's on your head
this is my last serenade
I feel you as you fall away
this is my last serenade
from yourself you can't run away

it's your choice, point the finger
but it's on your head
your destination is a choice within yourself
will you rise or become a slave
to self righteousness
open up your heart and gaze within

from sorrow to serenity, the truth is absolution
from sorrow to serenity, it's on your head
this is my last serenade
I feel you as you fall away
this is my last serenade
from yourself you can't run away

The Things You Said

I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

But they know me better than that

They know me better than that

They know my weaknesses

I never tried to hide them

They know my weaknesses

I never denied them



I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

How can a view become so twisted

How can a view become so twisted

They know my weaknesses

I never tried to hide them

They know my weaknesses

You tried them



I get so carried away

You brought me down to earth

I thought we had something precious

Now I know what it's worth



I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

I've never felt so disappointed

Never felt so disappointed

They know my weaknesses

I never tried to hide them

They know my weaknesses

Thought that you liked them



They know me better than that

It feels so warm when you are near

You are all I want to feel

Tell me now, is this for real?

It’s hard to breathe

We’re all lost and travelled high, cannot find my peace of mind

When the sun will rise again, we’ll fly away



Take the stairs to the stars

Wander long, travel far



Someday



A summer breeze makes all of our winters freeze

Autumn leaves

There’s no chance for spring’s romance

We linger on but leave the past behind us

Old lovers live it all anew

But chances are so few



Windows open up to life

Put your worries all aside

Sacred silence closes doors for opened eyes



Take the stairs to the stars

Wander long, travel far



Someday

Always



A summer breeze makes all of our winters freeze

Autumn leaves

There’s no chance for spring’s romance

We linger on but leave the past behind us

Old lovers live it all anew

But chances are so few

And choices are so true...

The Pursuit of Vikings

The warming sun returns again

And melts away the snow

The sea is freed from icy chains

Winter is letting go



Standing on the ocean side

We can hear the waves

Calling us out with tide

To sail into our fate



Oden! Guide our ships

Our axes, spears and swords

Guide us through storms that whip

And in brutal war



Our ships await us by the shore

Time has come to leave

Our country, family and homes

For riches in the east



Some of us won’t return

But that won’t bring us down

Our fate is written in the web

Woven by the Norns



A ram is sacrificed

Across the longship’s bow

And as we set our sails

A strong breeze starts to blow



It carries us out to sea

With hope of fame and pride

And glorious all will be

That with sword in hand will die



Oden! Guide our ships

Our axes, spears and swords

Guide us through storms that whip

And in brutal war



Oden! Guide our ships

Our axes, spears and swords

Guide us through storms that whip

And in brutal war
