"I Hereby Commit My Body To The Ground. Sterilised And Wrapped In Plastic Foil. . Being An Object Of This Space And Time. This Body Should Remain Concealed.
Benighted darker and darker as I walk through the woods, into the. silent shadows. As the sky goes from dark to black ice cold whispers. burns my skin. From nowhere to the deepest of my soul they speak unto.
... and after years in dark tunnels. he came to silence. . there was nothing.... . he realised that the cheering cries of worship. were but echoes of his harsh outspoken word.
(Words: Ihsahn/ Music: Ihsahn & Samoth/ Arrangements: Samoth &. Ihsahn). Memories of torment strikes me. Attempts were made to suffocate me at birth. Fools.
Memories of torment strikes me. Attempts were made to suffocate me at birth. Fools. I was already ancient. Thou can not kill what breeds within Thee. .
Like the tide, shadows flow towards the shore of light. The night. comes whirling like a maelstrom. Warring waves of crackling clouds. embrace this nightside landscape. The heavens bleed, through open.
(Words: Ihsahn/ Music: Ihsahn & Samoth/. /Arrangements: Ihsahn). Vide. Ravens caw in reverence. Anthems to the Welkin at dusk. In celebration of the few.

You're worthless as you burn.. Everything about you makes me sick.. Your self satisfying ridicule makes me sick.. Condescending, contradictive.. . I wait for you to burn..
I'd kill to keep this alive, and I'd destroy anything that threatened it's life.. Everday I fight to make sure this breathes.. Strike me down, but you'll never take this from me..
Too many times I've sat back and watched you destroy.. Your self destructive ways. Lost in your haze.. It buries you alive as you breathe your death in..
You spoke so loud.. Another know it all.. Another six month face.. Inside you're dead.. . Slowly shed your skin.. Convictions fade.. Another six month face..
Your perfect world is dead, and I'm the one who set it ablaze.. The ones you trusted, you breathed for, they took your life.. Dead in your world.. Victim of innocence..
Suffering from my own demons. Where there's no feelings, there can't be pain. . Where there's no trust, there's no betrayal. Where your taught not to care, all that grows inside is hate..
How much more can we take?. With all this weight we'll break.. Your so called god gave us life to grow and breathe.. All we do is destroy to satisfy needs..
My sacrifice. . I'm looking at you face to face. I'm staring at you in the eye. I'm so alone in this fucking crowd. I won't unite with what I despise.
Ease your mind with you simple life.. Don't tell me that you could never do this.. It's plain to see the truth is you don't care.. Your words fade, your actions speak for themselves..
I see the same face but so much else has changed.. I remember what you once meant to me.. You compromised, astray.. Now I'm left with nothing but regret..
Infected by our callous acts.. Our blood flows the kiss of death.. Relentless disease as death tolls rise.. This virus breeds on human desire.. . Whether you lust the needle of the flesh, you've sealed your fate, a fate of death..
