MARDUK - Those Of The Unlight

Darkness Breeds Immortality

An angel in ecstasy crosses the sky
The sky shines brighter than bright
From the ground in the shadow we watch it fly
Summoning darkness and might

An angel so terrified falls from the sky
The sky turns blacker than black
I hear an angel in vain screaming "why"?
As the rain welcomes us back

Now when the angel fell from the sky
Our eyes with blackness will burn
We reach our hands to the clouds up high
And whisper - "This is our return"

Sunlight has failed
Dark is the sky
The feeble sun no longer shine

When the night is over still black in the sky
Before our eyes the fading sun bleed
Fire is now roaring over sky

The arrival

Now when the angel fell from the sky
Our eyes with blackness will burn
We reach our hands to the clouds up high
And whisper - "this is our return"

We mock the light and towards the shadows
We are drawn into the darkness
We silently died
__________

Those Of The Unlight

The nine

Blasting through the earth as a storm
Spreading their dark coldness
Evolved into creatures that existed at the edge
At the edge of this world and the realm of the shadows
Resisting death, yet unable to die
Magically clung to life

Forever dying but never dead
The nine - Those of the unlight

Frozen on the very brink's of death
Enslaved by the dark lord

Forever dying but never dead
The nine - Those of the unlight

A shadow of the great evil that prolonged his existence
A shadow creature - forever dying but never dead
__________

Wolves

Wolves
Many miles they went
To reach this point
They went here to seek what they lost
What they lost before time
Before the first rays of light
In the worst torment of all

Despair
They dedicated their existence to follow
To explore
And how they searched

Eternity, darkness, the black
They ware only a piece
Of the complete puzzle

They the warriors they were
In a never ending maze of
Confusion

The life they so intensively hated
Wolves so many lifetimes they
Went to reach this point
And yet so many lifetimes to go

Eternity, darkness, the black
They ware only a piece of the
Complete puzzle
They - the warriors they were
In a never ending maze of confusion
__________

On Darkened Wings

Ride now on fast horses
With swords drawn let steel meet steel
Swords shall sing
And shields will lay broken

Warrior's shields met
And many weapons broke
Many met death
But that's a part of the process

The sky is filled with red
Of the fallen's blood
Perdition, damnation cries my soul
To burn in hell is now my only goal

So once again we meet
Look into our eyes, look deep
In the sky that is our mind
The dark clouds are gathering
As our hate unites with our soul

Rising our hands
The renewal has begun
Since long time ago
Faded spirits
Screams with scorn

Rising from the soul
As a united force
Carried by darkened wings

Dark through time
To open the door
To the blackened place of rest

Rising
To once spread his darkened wings
__________

Burn My Coffin

Burn my coffin

The blood inside my veins is poisoned by funerals and dreams
The beauty of life crushed
Death is the life and destiny
The night so dark and everlasting
Where death and pain remains

Burn my coffin - release the soul
Burn my coffin - unveil the shadow

Black candles burn tonight
As my soul begins it's flight
As the veil of Darkness lowers it's shadow
I travel through the night

Burn my coffin...

The first rays of dawn came misbathed in red
As the rays of the sun to the soil were wed
In the early dawn I gazed for tomorrow
But my heart and souls was burned with sorrow
__________

A Sculpture Of The Night

Within night infinity I slowly drift
Over the plains
Desolation...

I gaze, time does not exist gere
But endless, eternal, me

A sculpture of the night I am
Nump... yet I fly... to explore... what is built
Out of hate

A king of this world I am
Thronebearer of hate

With clear sight I see it
Even though it's dark
For me it is always

Sunlight cannot touch me
Neither it reaches my mind
Still I can reach it to consume

I am the face of wisdom
The punishment, damnation
The shadow I am, the wideopen eye
Growing mightier

A sculpture of the night
Brought to rule the neverending
I slowly drift... night... infinity

As the shadows grows
__________

Stone Stands Its Silent Vigil

Early morning, mist fills the air
Yet no sign of the sun
The landscape lies dark and lonely
Forgotten by time

A dark wind sweeps over the desolated land
Sunless days in the dark of winter
They have seen it all
Since the dawn of this age

Stone stands it silent vigil

In the lands of frost
All life is dead and lost
Frozen into a lifeless statue
Well preserved but quite dead
