Uninvited Presence

Sitting on the ground, in the shadows of the night,
the breath has left its place to gloomy fright.
A night of total fucking madness, a night of total fucking darkness,
there’s something that’s consuming us slowly.
Waiting for the dawn,
the uninvited presence's suffocating our souls.
A silent agony,
a shiver of terror’s growing in this cursed haze.
Unable to react, consumed inside,
feeding the blackness, no way to escape from deflagration.
This guest of evil is in everyone.
Demons and voices lost and hidden in our minds.
Waiting for the dawn,
the uninvited presence's suffocating our souls.
A silent agony,
a shiver of terror’s growing in this cursed haze.
My mind is showing me the shadows of the past.
There was no sense to live, the darkness took my soul.
After all these years, within this night,
this evil seems to take back its dominion, again.
Waiting for the dawn,

A silent agony,
a shiver of terror’s growing in this cursed haze.
My mind is showing me the shadows of the past.
There was no sense to live, the darkness took my soul.
After all these years, within this night,
this evil seems to take back its dominion, again.
Again, but this time my life’s close to the end.
Again. The revenge of demons that I left.
This time my life’s close to the end.

Forgotten Graves

Victims of hatred, power and fortune,
the darkness has fallen on them.
Throughout the centuries, throughout this time,
their shout’s heard from six feet under.
They’re scratching the walls, leaving message of pain,
for the sacrifice made and declaimed.
Silence and years flow as rivers of blood,
while their souls are forgotten and lost.
Cries from the grave,
hands come from the ground.
The vengeance of dead,
is having beginning.
Hordes of soldiers (forgotten through time),
marching for pride (armed with hate),
tortured and torn (for the evil they lived),
revenge their carnage,
for the blood flowed in vain.
Corpses alive driven by hooden men,
wizards of the evil one.
Raising the dead for not resting in peace,
to posses life again as the old rites impose.
Across the darkness, the ruins, and the fog,
they come out from graves, one by one.
The rite is completing the dead-reincarnation,
their sacrifice won’t be forgotten again.
Now this is the end,
the line of existence is broken.
All sacrifices to survive
are reaching the chasm of the void.
The cold wind is blowing so strong,
maybe one god is losing his war.
Lighting and raindrops are breaking the sky,
maybe one crying god has lost his faith.
We are here in the cold of the night, in the middle of the fight,
where there is no fading light,
through the shades of misty rain, feeding this nightmare.
In this ocean of blood in the land where there’s no hope,
we’ve returned from below, across silence and dust.
We will cross the fire of this failing hellish land.
Hordes of soldiers (forgotten through time),
marching for pride (armed with hate),
tortured and torn (for the evil they lived),
revenge their carnage,
for the blood flowed in vain.

So many years ago,
there was an evil queen controlling our souls.
One day she died so suddenly,
taking far away the secrets of her in the grave.
Buried through the fog,
lost in suffocating darkness,
her soul was lying in the coldness of this frozen wood.
Her eyes were hatred-full,
leaving all these lands so cold.
Discovered and profaned,
her coffin was declaimed,
to search the secrets hidden
in the bottom of her heart.
But just before she died,
promised that one day she will rise.
Dark reigns in her mind,
the bells are sounding, spreading symphonies of death.
Rain falls from the sky,
announcing she has risen in this anguish night.
The forest screams her name.
She will leave all the secrets of her power to no one.
Suffering and terrible death,
are awaiting who will dare to face her words.
She was born here to command,
she was born here to refuse the end.
Her soul is roaming in the vastness of this gloomy land.
While the darkness’ cold embrace surrounds her mind and faith,
the evil queen extends her wings breaking away the coffin’s seals.
Surrounded by the fire her bloody eyes become so bright.
Eternally in dark she'll reign beneath a deadly frozen black rain.
In the darkness she’ll reign,
in this land she’ll impose her realm.
In this sadness slaves pray,
for a god they cannot hear.
Dark reigns in her mind,
the bells are sounding, spreading symphonies of death.
Rain falls from the sky,
announcing she has risen in this anguish night.
She reigns in the darkness,
She reigns in the cold.
forever.

The Circle

The smell of smoke fills me inside,
the lights of flames reach for the sky,
something’s burning in this time.
(It’s time to die).
In the silence of this night,
mystic and satanic rites,
invoking and acclaiming all the dark,
without any delight.
Running to the circle,
breathing with the fire.
The black rite’s close to the end,
while the sudden scaring shadows
fall onto the path.
A vision of terror chains me to see
one thousand shouting spirits going out from cage of sins.
Condemned and trapped in the cloud of this smoke,
recalled to this life awaken from rest almost for a joke.
The process has just have began,
the blackness is carried by wind.
The spirit of the dark is walking on the souls of folks,
immobilizing all your mind as you cannot more talk.
Run across the circle,
breathing through the fire.
The black rite’s going to the end,
while the sudden scaring shadows
fall onto the path.

Beneath a Bleeding Sky
03:27
|
|

Black is their shadows,
while moonlight is appearing.
I left my life tonight,
across blood, hate and scorn.
Scared, numb, confused,
my eyes have seen the terror.
Ripped, tortured, vigiled,
to the altar immolated.
Their screams of fear go lost through the forest,
I feel so chained for these neverending horrors,
Without any expression on their hidden face,
they’re driven and submitted to an uncontrolled power.
Beneath a bleeding sky,
they complete the sacrifice,
beneath a deadly light,
the beast is laughing.
Ripped again,
suffocated in pain,
Victims of blackness
and madness of men.
Reading the passage from devil’s black bible,
they’re going to end the immolation.
Wrath and revenge are sailing my head,
I can’t remain now immovable anymore.
What I’m going to do in this night is not for any god:
it's for the human justice, to revenge their soul.
Beneath a bleeding sky,
I complete my sacrifice,
beneath a deadly light,
the beast is falling.
Beneath a bleeding sky.

Snow and ice of winter call, I must face this underworld,
this pain will be so neverending.
Through this hell I’ve lost my father, through this path I have to walk,
the trees are showing me the way.
Pulled down from desperation to be lost in loneliness,
I put my life within my hands.
Gods of winter, be my guide. I can’t surrender to this fight.
Help me through the darkness and the shades.
Wind screams my name, no time to pray.
I face my fate till the end.
The steps in the snow as a cancer inside,
nothing to give me some hope.
Across the winds, my life’s on a line,
my body’s frozen but my soul’s on fire.
Gods of the winter, send me a sign.
Lost in wind shouting I don’t want to die.
Spirit of my father, lead me from above.
My burning screams of pain
will reach the sky again.
You’ve left me this heritage: fight, resist, follow your fate,
reject the voices of temptation.
Phantoms of my darkest past rise again inside my head,
the black shapes of my imagination.
Endless darkness in this void, lost in this cold anguish coil,
I have forgotten what’s a dreamer.
I know that now I must not fall, there’s one place where I have to go,
beyond the shadows of the winter.
Wind screams my name, no time to pray.
I face my fate till the end.
Sometimes I feel I cannot resist,
and I think time has come to lie near to you.
A strength within me, a fire inside,
tells me that now I cannot die.
As the night falls, the coldness becomes
stronger and more insane. I hear this call.
Entering the valley of no return back,
the snow’s in my eyes, the ice in my blood.
Under black skies I am looking all around
what are the secrets of this valley where I walk.
Corpses of the dead and skeletons
of who have tried to go far beyond this place of death.
No one’s living in this hell, the fear takes all my feelings
and plane of my doom begins to shape.
I can’t give up from this passage,
for my father I do this and for the glory of his name.
For the glory of a warrior I’ve lost in the ice.
For the victory I follow, that burns in my eyes.
“I’m calling you from the heart of the winter, from the icy grave where I left you.
Remember what I said to you, my son. To live and survive is never in vain,
fight for what’s right and defend your pride and honour.
The gods may be with you, to keep your burning flame alive,
till we met again in the above of the grey crystal skies”.
Gods of the winter, I’ve felt your sign.
Beyond those frozen shades, with you now I can cry.
Spirit of my father, thank you for all.
I’ve found my way to pave.
it will reach for your sky one day.
I’ll reach for you one day,
I’ll reach for you one day,
I’ll reach for you one day,
I’ll live with you again.
