Ophthalamia: To Elishia Lyrics

[ALL: vocals]

I live in the thoughts where the shadows no longer dance
and where my tears fall into the colours of the lonely dreaming crying
songs that my works are.
The melancholy clouds of my feelings float away in the tide of faces
which the soul of mine is.
I wonder about life even though death is close and as my lost life
falls into its definitive end...
the light won't save me. Tired is the blood of mine and my brain will
not speak no more.
I'm living in a prison of flesh and my heart won't answer my calls.
I'm shaking as I'm crying and as I feel the last drops of my life
leave my useless cold body
to walk the night... I'm one with the night... I AM

My dark eyes watch the landscapes frozen stillness
The beautiful silent domains which he rules
The cold wind grabs my long hair
Like it wants to carry me with it to the darker marks

[Chorus :]
I walk through deep snow
[whisper] I'll wander endlessly
Searching for my master
I must march until death
[whisper] I'll wander endlessly
'til my soul takes over

Will I ever reach my wonders end ?
Penetrate the darkness
So much land that I've put behind my back
When will I sit at his throne ?

I watch the darkened domains and pass
By making the ceremony of the true
My feet are swollen blue
Of the wolf biting icy cold

I stab my dagger through my unpure heart
The sky has turned backwards - the moon is my eye
I'm neverending floating away like a dim sculpture
In the lands where I once was born

[repeat Chorus]

[whisper] I'm fading but never...
[whisper] I'm fading but never...

I'm kneeling down on the forest's deiny ground
sun of the infinite sky doesn't reach me here
Oh darkness embrace me blood stop circulating
the mist surrounds me as I'm falling away my trance
My blackened teeth chew at the air we breathe

[whisper] lean its shapeless nothingness from the holy spirit

Poisoned I am by his holy feeble godness

[whisper] I spit him out in a bloody flood of phlegm

Their world is turned inside out
I take their lips to my mouth
The people lies in articulo mortis
I spread my wings and fly away
I'm the face of the night in which you all will drown
I'm the power the almighty dark everlasting strength
my body was for a moment cold and left alone
still my breath is a sick unken smell

My castle of blood beyond deepest sorrows lies distant clouds
its grey tower puncture the sky

[whisper] the pain

My skin the gloomy ground will not swallow thee
the echoes of my black heartbeat falls forevermore

[whisper] living further

My heart it cries
it slowly dies
castle of no repair

[whisper] stop the pain

Flying through the night sky among the stars
the air caresses my naked soul
I've reached Ophthalamia's darkest parts
the evil desolate shore
The icy water whips the ancient rocks
I see the black blooded sea of Ragiih-Nib
the mountains of Makubu-Keen have guided me
oh stars now hear my scream
Give... me... the... Sign... Shores of Kaa-Ta-Nu

[whisper] Give me the Sign

The water raised above me and the sky died
oh lord of all accept my soul... Take me
keep on searching son maybe you'll succeed
so cold everlasting night here I am
Give... me... the... Sign

Try to find the keys of wisdom
Sathanas will guide your quest
and when you'll have found'em
the chosen place is for you

Lange jag i sommarhettans dagar sokt men dig ej funnit
Kampat, tralat och i solens blandande sken jag brunnit
Vi må odslat våra liv men vi aven en dod var vunnit
Dig, Elishia skall jag finna vart du an har forsvunnit

Årstider de alla igenom jag vaktar med
Leende så stort, jag harskar over allt
Moder jord nu domer vi dig doden
Så som vi alla andra kommer att do

Elishia...
Tillsammans skall vi harska
Moder jord...
Skall i våra hander do

Elishia, dotter av de tre månarna
Skall jaga i natten tillsammans med mig
Och nar vi gjort vårt kall så sank oss i vår grav
Djupt, djupt i doden ned

[Refrang :]
Himmel blå och ljuv sommarang
Låt er vaggas i ondskans sang
Svarta slojor, svarta lovverk
Undergången nalkas så låt oss gå
Det stilla regnet faller i natten
Så ar rymden i sin saknad
Svarta tårar, svart tomhet
En sista kyss så smeksam och mjuk

[Viskning :]
Den eviga vandringen i den utvaldes morkaste tankar
På Kaa-Ta-Nuus strander,
dar slott som evigt trasiga står
Du ljuset son så liten,
dig jag åsamka denna smarta
kallad sorg...
... En resa i morkret...

Moder jord, Elishia och jag dig skall satta i brand
Vi skall sedan fornedra och våldfora oss på land efter land
Elishia vi skall vandra i detta krigets harjartåg hand i hand
Vi som Satan tjanar ar forenade med de starkaste band

[upprepa vers II]

Vacker... Sommaren for andra må vara
Jag... Endast vill doda och do

[upprepa vers IV]
[upprepa Refrang]

Vi vandrat den ensamma vagen så mork
Så okang och farlig for er andra
Ni oss aldrig kommer att forstå
Vi dyrkar doden och ondskans makt
De falsa skall falla for våra fotter
Små manniskor, vi era harsare ar

The shadow went longer until darkness became complete
The superior humans so proud came forward

[whisper] I am the face and blood of knowledge
[whisper] I am the pure heart of wisdom

I smell the night sing its sleeping ancient lullaby
and the non-existing star horizon burnt its candle
Find the dark in my eyes
I'm not and I'm all
I'm the end of the beginning

[whisper] What do my eyes hide ?

I hear the winter breathe and spread his message of cold
and the clouds change their eyes and forget the time
I feel the skin of the trees listen and walk away
and the moon dreams and I hear its eternal call
I taste the depths of the sea in my eyes and fly
and the lips of dust play its song forevermore
I sea the colours of the world disappear in the mist
and the bright tear of my smell fear the morning

Demonic laughter your cremation
Your lungs gasp for air but are filled with blood
A sudden crack as I crushed your skull

The remind of your life flashes by
A life that soon won't be
Smiling with axe in my hand
Evil's rotten hand you'll see

I come forward
Deathcrush

I'll send you to your maker
I'll send you to your death
Death nicely crucified
Death, heads on stakes

The barbeque has just begun
Deathcrush - Deathcrush - Deathcrush

Crush - Crush
Deathcrush
Deathcrush
Deathcrush

I summoned up the living dead
And the demons in the skies
I drank from chalise warm and red
And watched the virgined eye

Present at ungodly births
In holy paradise
I spread eternal dark on earth
And raped the mother of christ

C'mon baby
Raise your knife
Welcome darling
To my sacrifice

Tie the angel to the altar
Sacrifice to lord in hell
Let the warm blood torrent baby
Moonlight set the night on spell

I saw the lightning strike in the sky
And heard your roar in pain
I'd lifted the knife and stroke once more
Your blood was mixed with rain

I sit in loneliness and watch the meaning of my past.
It dances and twitches then it lays down and dies.
I see the morning sky tremble and then it open and begin to cry
as night falls and darkness fills my room... whispering thoughts haunt
me,
my candle burns low.
Can I find my fate ? Can I be one with my desire ?
The perchment of my future burns fast and I burn myself
badly in my futile attempt to save it.
The black blood of my heart weeps, in every tear a part of myself.
I have features of youth but a soul of age.
Why can't I see the web of lies my life is based upon so I can cut
them
and become one with the sky ? I long for the harmony... the peace
within me.
I wish to see myself in the burning light of truth and no longer be a
victim of hate.
I search for the purity in me... I search in my blood...
I open my vein to see what ever it may be.
And as the red rivers of my life flow from its tunnels and caves...
I see lies and falseness die.
I'm fading away, drowing in a thick mist of burning ice.
I'm showered in the blood of dying hate and I feel pure.
I'm taken to the breast of my truth and I'm reborn.
