MAYHEM - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas

Funeral Fog

Every time this year
this dark fog will appear
up from the tombs it comes
to take one more life that
can be near
In the middle of transylvania
All natural life has for a long
time ago gone, its thin and so
beautiful but also so dark and
mysterious
Once again the priest is messing
may the god bless us all
The fog is here again
that'll complete this funeral
From a place empty of life
Only dead trees are growing here
as it comes from a far
Only dead trees are growing here
...Funeral fog
...Funeral fog
...Funeral fog
...Funeral fog
__________

Freezing Moon

Everything here is so cold
Everything here is so dark
I remember it as from a dream
In the corner of this time

Diabolic Shapes float by
Out from the dark
I remember it was here I died
By following the freezing moon

It's night again, night you beautiful
I please my hunger on living humans
Night of hunger, follow it's call
Follow the freezing moon

Darkness is growing, the eternity opens
The cemetary lights up again
As in ancient times
Fallen souls, die behind my steps
by following the freezing moon
__________

Cursed In Eternity

My name was written with
fire in the place you only
can see when your time has come
When you walk down in the
land of shadows for eternity
The demon flies in the blackened
starless skies and crawls in
the bottomless depths of hell
The name which will be a
thousand times cursed in eternity
Condemned to wander, until it comes
to the cruelest snake that crawls
The demon flies in the blackened
starless skies, and crawls in the
bottomless depths of hell
__________

Pagan Fears

The bloody history from the
past deceased humans now forgotten
An age of legends and fear a time now
so distant
Less numbered as they were their lives
so primitive and pagan
superstitions were a part of the life
so unprotected in the dark nights
Pagan fears
The past is alive
The past is alive
Woeful people with pale faces
staring obsessed at the moon
some memories will never go away
and they will forever be here
__________

Life Eternal

A dream of another existence
you wish to die
a dream of another world
you pray for death to release the soul.
One must die to find peace inside, you must get eternal
I am a mortal but am I human?
How beautiful life is now when my time has come
A human destiny but nothing human inside
What will be left of me when I'm dead, there was
nothing when I lived

"What you found was eternal death
no one will ever miss you"
__________

From The Dark Past

A face in stone... decayed by age
A man who has returned to tell of his damnation
Fears so deep, the mouth open wide
The scream died away before dawn of this time
The eyes - stares so empty
The mouth - screams so silent
Tell me! - what did you see there?
In the darkness - of the past
Ancient times legends stories so dark
Blackened his sight, now
not even the memories are left
Back after such a long time
the stone is cold as death
But what formed it's true fears
only the wind is able to tell
__________

Buried By Time And Dust

Visions of that no mornings
light ever will come. I'm to old now
The dark is so near, will I ever reach the land beyond
This is where we go when we have to die
I've been old since the birth of time
Time buried me in earth
centuries ago, I tasted blood
Buried by time and dust
Many years has pasted since the funeral
Missing the blood of human throats
so many years, ages ago
I must await, feel my body's stench
Wanderings out of space
Wandering out of time
A world out of light, death at the end
Only silence can be heard, silence of peoples tears
No one knows my grave
Buried by time and dust

De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas

Welcome!
To the elder ruins again
The wind whispers beside the deep forest
Darkness will show us the way
"Heic noenum pax"
Here is no peace
The sky has darkened thirteen as
we are collected woeful around a book
made of human flesh
"De grandaevus antiquus mulum tristis
arcanas mysteria scriptum"
The books bloodwritten pages open
"Invoco crentus domini de daemonium"
We follow with our white eyes The ceremonial proceeding
"Heic noenum pax" Bring us the goat
"Rex sacriticulus mortifer"
In the circle of stone coffins
We are standing with our black robes on
holding the bowl with unholy water
"Psychomantum et precr exito annos major"
"Ferus netandus sacerdos magus. Mortem animalium"
