TURN THE SUN OFF!
=================
I. THE PRESAGE
There is a permanent fire
Burning inside our hearts,
We shall never betray
Our purity of Gods.
But those who choose to be weak,
Those who linger behind,
Those who allways retreat,
They comit suicide.
Their Sun will stop burning...
Now make your choice
Whether to join us and be free,
Or get lost
In the purifying flame
Of our wrath,
There is no space in one place
For both
Beasts and Gods!
There is fear in your hearts,
Uselessness in your eyes.
There shall never be mercy
For the cancer of the Earth!
You can only consume,
You sleep away your lives,
You have no ways to evolve,
Only one path - to die!
Our Sun will die because of you!
The brightest light
Will shine forever on the Wise
We will rise
Far, far above the dark blue skies,
Our minds
In concordance with our souls
Will create
A worthy world!
II. THERE IS HOPE
There's so much to do together,
We could live forever,
And this hell might never,
Never return...
The whole world is against us,
And it shall burn!!!
Rise your head above the sky,
And let the ground be shaken
By your battle cry!
You are not forsaken,
Your soul can not be taken,
Unless you wish it to be done!
In the eternal fields of Darkness
The Primordial Chaos is whirling
We collect our strength eternal
To create a brand new world!
Those who waste their time on nothing
Will doze in a lifelong slumber,
Till the time the High Command rings:
TURN THE SUN OFF!
III. THE BEGINNING OF THE END
The sun will darken,
The air will chill throughout,
The heaven will collapse,
The darkest winds will blow,
Across the desert of Seth.
Arise, who lie beneath the ground!
IV. RISE OF THE UNDEAD
In every place and in every direction bones start shivering beneath the ground, and out of every hole, every low place the Undead crawl into the light of the darkening sun and countless dead eyes are gazing at the still beautiful but dying Earth...
This is the end...
But you asked for it...
Inexorable... implacable...
Purification!
There was a little hope...
You could live in a world
So bright and strong!
It could last forever...
The brightest light
Could shine forever on the Wise
We could rise
Far, far above the dark blue skies,
Our minds
In concordance with our souls
Could create
A worthy world!..
V. THE DEAD WILL MARCH THE EARTH
Hold the line!
Spare none but the worthy!
Purify the world!
Eradicate the human disease!
Get ready! Hold on!
The world is ours!
Only the decent will survive!
We are the healers of the Earth!
VI. A NEW AEON DAWNS
Time!
It is the morning time,
But I see no light,
No light in the sky:
There is no sun!
Only the stars
Shine in the night,
Only the night,
Eternal night...
Soon the world
Will invert itself
And Brahma's breath
Will repeat...
Countless new suns
Dawn on the edge
Of the world,
A new Aeon
Is starting...

WINGS OF YOUR HEART
=====================
At the begining of every day
You know what lies ahead
Petty grey days without an end,
Time exchanged for bread.
Life has no meaning and will soon end,
You will rot in the sand,
The only thing that you were tought right
Is to misunderstand.
In time you'll grow
The Wings of your heart
You will feel, you'll know
The breath of the night...
Fly through the Heaven,
Eternally free,
You will be forever,
If you learn to see!
No! This life was never for you!
You were created unflawed!
The blood of Kingu runs in your veins,
You are a spark of God!
Rise your head above the crowd
Master the power within,
You are the finest creature on Earth,
Do not disgrace your kin!
In time you'll grow
The Wings of your heart
You will feel, you'll know
The breath of the night...
Fly through the Heaven,
Eternally free,
You will be forever,
If you learn to see!

ANTHEM OF VALOUR
================
INTRO
Hear the warriors' song
That rings above the sky,
Feel the ground shake beneath you,
Hearken the battle cry!
VERSE1
See the field lit with fires -
Ten thousand men are here tonight,
Listen: Death's wings are flapping -
Tomorrow we will die!
CHORUS
Time to rise, our final call!
Under our feet trembles the Earth!
The road is clear to Odin's Hall,
The day we waited above all!
VERSE2
We have subdued our fear,
We seek advice from our Death,
A spell is laid on our weapons,
None escapes our wrath!
CHORUS
Time to rise, our final call!
Under our feet trembles the Earth!
The road is clear to Odin's Hall,
The day we waited above all!
VERSE3
Only we know the secrets,
The battle magic is our lore,
Death is where you hide from it,
So raise your axe and fear no more!
CHORUS
Time to rise, our final call!
Under our feet trembles the Earth!
The road is clear to Odin's Hall,
The day we waited above all!

Death Guard
===========
I am fear of the Divine
I'm the reflection in your eyes
And I'm the dreams you try to hide
To get a place in paradise
I'm a force you cannot see
But I am not a fantasy
I am the scythe of the Gods
The master of all earthly lords
When you are in fear
Or in despair
I always shall be near you
Giving you my strength
When you are in anger
I shall be your friend
When you are revenging
I shall guide your hand
Most of mortals fear me
But there is something they can't see:
If you go to a certain length
Then I will favour you with Strength
And if you grow over me
You'll have a chance of being free
It's up to you to make the choice
And hearken to your inner voice
When you are in fear
Or in despair
I always shall be near you
Giving you my strength
When you are in anger
I shall be your friend
When you are revenging
I shall be your hand

IN THE CENTER OF THE EARTH
==========================
Feel the pain of anguish and desire,
Touch the freezing flames of my black fire,
Watch your body shiver with convulsions and despair,
Now you know what I feel - only now its fair!
CHORUS
In the center of the Earth,
Where the fire of time remains,
Come and break my heart's desire
To see my own pain!
In the center of the time,
Where the nightingale sings our love,
Come and break my heart's desire!
I will allways be loving you...
As I make my path in this damned world,
As a man so hateful and so old,
Come with me my darling, light my early dusk!
Stretch your hands and pull off me, pull this useless mask...
CHORUS
In the center of the Earth,
Where the fire of time remains,
Come and break my heart's desire
To see my own pain!
In the center of the time,
Where the nightingale sings our love,
Come and break my heart's desire!
I will allways be loving you...
All the world is not enough for us!
Nothing can take in my burning love!
For your love and happiness I'd destroy the world!
Nothing else matters! Only you can save my soul!
CHORUS
In the center of the Earth,
Where the fire of time remains,
Come and break my heart's desire
To see my own pain!
In the center of the time,
Where the nightingale sings our love,
Come and break my heart's desire!
I will allways be loving you...

TIME OF VIRGINITY
=================
Since the time we ruled together
In the blind, deserted sea
Since the fadeout of memories
Time to come, that would never be...
Time to go
Over the falling snow
Over the rain to come
For now - don't cry...
In my mind - the pure reflections
Of the virgin times that passed
All our childish thoughts and questions -
Rotten now and will never, never come true!
Time of virginity
Life of obscurity
I will rise!
Time of virginity
Life of obscurity
Time will come!
In my mind - the pure reflections
Of the virgin times, that passed...

BATTLE HEART
============
No matter what happens,
I'll remain myself
There's no way to buy me:
I have my inner wealth!
I go only forward,
Light shines in my eyes,
If you stand in my way -
Either move or die! Or die!!
In the world of sorrows
I shall stand as one,
Witnessing its downfall,
Worshiping the Sun!
My will is unbending
And my arm is strong,
My faith never withers,
I know where I belong! So long!!
Over the downfalls,
Into the risings,
Follow my errand
Over the time,
Mystical knowledge,
Pleasure, enlightments:
The only priceless gift
Is Life!
There is only one way
To get a good thing done:
You carry on falling
Until you start to run.
There is no way round it,
Just stand up and fight!
Life's a constant war:
The winner's allways right! So fight!..
War goes on forever,
In battle I thrive,
Having fought my weakness
With victory I rise!
Pursuing perfection
The fight goes on and on,
And maybe we will make it
To the next Aeon...

NORTHERN LIGHTS
===============
Once upon a time
In the land of snow,
There was a great Empire,
Vanished long ago.
The platoes of the Arctic
Were home to a great race
Spirit, valour and wisdom
Were their common traits.
Under the Northern Lights,
During a half-year night,
Under the virgin snows
Ancient wisdom lies...
Descendants of Arctida!
Your hands and souls are weak,
You sold yourselves for gold,
Your values are so sleek...
Aim your lives at perfection,
The legacy of the Wise,
And banners of Hyperborea
Might once again arise...
Under the Northern Lights,
During a half-year night,
Under the virgin snows
Ancient wisdow lies....

THE CASTAWAYS
=============
Clench your fist
A little stronger
Know, my child:
You should be bolder
Over the time you will learn yourself
You'll reach the stars...
In a world, that's gone astray
Those, who know, are cast away
Hard as steel your will should be
Only strength can make you free!
Your little life will go on by
You won't understand the truth of mine
Time will pass and there'll be nothing new
Follow the rules and they will betray you!
In a world, that's gone astray
Those, who know, are cast away
Hard as steel your will should be
Only strength can make you free!
You and me are castaways
To whom they will pray!
They will never understand
The merits of our fate
You shall be the Chosen One
To enter the Gate!
In a world, that's gone astray
Those, who know, are cast away
Hard as steel your will should be
Only strength can make you free!

Keepers of Death
04:19
|

|
Over seas of time
Ringers the remembrance
Of the days gone by
Full of human nescience.
Now the years that passed
Left no recognition
We are locked up here
With a dreadful mission.
Die tonight,
Awake tomorrow,
Sing the song
Of eternal sorrow!
We escaped the fate
Of the transient mortals
Now they pay their lives -
We avoid the portal.
We have endless time,
We are wise and old,
But can't cross the line
To the other worlds.
Die tonight,
Awake tomorrow,
Sing the song
Of eternal sorrow!

Wherever we will go... (Куда бы мы не отправились...)
============================
Княжна:
Много лет, счастья и страданья,
Много зим, дней и ночей,
Я смотрела в глаза хрустальные,
Но померк свет твоих очей.
Дружина (хор):
Воссияй же, огонь погребальный!
Провожай Воина в путь неизведанный!
Ты наш Вождь, наша Сила и Вера,
Отдавай честь Отцу - до свидания!
Я любила леса и волны,
Солнце, травы, луга, поля,
Но теперь везде лишь боль одна,
Не мила ты мне, Мать-Земля!
Воссияй же, огонь погребальный!
Провожай Воина в путь неизведанный!
Ты наш Вождь, наша Сила и Вера,
Отдавай честь Отцу - до свидания!
Ты мой путь, мое призванье,
Навсегда я одна с тобой,
Помяните нас в молчаньи,
Не тревожьте наш покой.
Воссияй же, огонь погребальный!
Провожай Воинов в путь неизведанный!
Наши Мать и Отец, Брат с Сестрою,
Мы, быть может, еще повидаемся!

Some of the most incredible black metal I've heard, both amazingly creative while surprisingly traditional. Normally I'm not a fan of putting acoustic songs in metal albums, but in this case they are just too beautiful to do without.

I love to listen to this during work, it fills me with calmness and I can almost smell the scents of the forest. Beautiful & serene from start to finish.
