Scourges through the endless pain are what thy mind preached for years.
A gift of torture from a labour of love.
Loathing in your black eyes full of blood.
Your love in vain had been sodomized for years in a constant decay of our libertine race.
In the shadows of our lives, a sigh despites the Christian lies.
Unholy rites of darkness are our way of life.
Storms of pleasure every night.
We are making war against Christendom.
We are the threat of flesh in the altar.
Churches are violated by our libidinous thoughts and deeds.
The tongue of darkness penetrated you and then you whimpered and cried forever in our bloody lives.
A dead poem is what I see when I look at your carnal pleasures.
Poetry from the past is the meaning of your present life full of lust.
We have been sinning against God and his stupid lambs.
A crescendo of sins and pleasure is what we became and what you had wished.

Doomed by Life

Day after day, night after night. I am more romantic and darker.
Behind the shadows, I refuse my life: My only right.
(Eternity awaits me)
Eternity awaits me, my doom of the soul.
My future and present, I live in the past.
(Doom of the soul)
I dance in my life, in my death, in my dreams, in my waltz.
I am alone to die.
Without soul, I live. Without soul, I suffer. And for love, I die.
I die alone in a life that never will give me what I seek: Happiness.
(Eternity awaits me)
Eternity awaits me, my burning desire.
My future and present, I live in the past.
(Doom of the soul)
I dance in my life, in my death, in my dreams, in my waltz.
I am alone to die.
Dreaming with hope with tears in my eyes.
It’s my life, my only life.
I feel the pain.
My only life.
I will die forever in my life.
I don’t want to leave but she calls me.
It’s my death, my only death.
I feel the meaning of my life.
No more tears.
No more pain.
Screams in my mind, silence in my heart.
I can feel the end, now here comes the death.
Screams in my mind, silence in my heart.
I can see the light, now it’s time to die.
Without smiles, with bloody tears. I would enjoy it in solitude.
Without pain to share, in solitude.
I was doomed by life.
(Eternity awaits me)
Forever alone, my doom of the soul.
My future and present, I live in the past.
(Doom of the soul)
I dance in my life, in my death, in my dreams, in my waltz.
I am alone to die.

Bitter End
08:18
|
|||
|
Dying in a world without sky.
I’d give my life to see the light.
But all I can see is pain and suffering.
Crying in a dream without hope.
I know this is my bitter home.
I’m waiting for the end.
Dying in a world without sky.
Crying in a dream without hope.
Spring, it’s when we begin to live.
Summer, it’s when we learn to fly.
Autumn, it’s when we begin to fall.
Winter, this is our bitter end.
It’s when we’re born, the beginning of our life.
It’s when we’re born, the beginning of our death.
Breathing in a world without air.
I can not find the meaning of life.
But all I can feel is sorrow and death.
Sleeping while I cry for the end.
I do not want more pain.
I’m waiting for the truth.
Breathing in a world without air.
Sleeping while I cry for the end.
Spring, it’s when we begin to live.
Summer, it’s when we learn to fly.
Autumn, it’s when we begin to fall.
Winter, this is our bitter end.
Bitter End!!!
We’re born.
We learn to live.
We learn to die.
We die.
Dark light is on my side.
It’s my shadow.
Everyone has the same destiny and I’m afraid.
Weeping inside my mind.
I feel so alone.
Waiting for my bitter end.

While a scythe cuts the black rose, the wind ceases to speak, the light ceases to breathe and a morning kiss appears from my dreams.
Dark angels bring the black rose to my heart converted into sin. Orchids are jealous ‘cause my heart is as dark as a raven flying through…
Dusk of a winter life.
Vomiting blood, the Ravenlord agrees to my sin.
I have the black rose inside of my heart and I want to sleep.
My blood flows out of my body and I didn’t spill yet a tear. Slowly my life disappears. My heart turns forever black.
My heart is black and I belong to the creatures of the obscure.
The black turns red and the rose is alive and I’m bloodless with black heart.
I am living dead and like a vampire, I need blood and flesh to leave this world and go to hell.
I gave the life to the rose and the rose gave me the death but this is a pleasure to me. That’s as dark as blood flowing through…
Now the fallen angels that brought my death are dancing around my grave. My heart is black, my soul is condemned and I’ll enjoy this pleasure… eternally.
Searching blood, I seduce the night. My black heart is going to explode, a black ritual before dawn. I am seeking my final destiny of death and cold… insanity.
With her beauty, I fall in love with her. I fear the light but she takes me to the day. Red roses are all I see.
…dusk.
Between life and death, there are a black heart and a red rose. Between a red heart and a black rose, there are sin and lust.
Here is where I am, in a place where nothingness dwells, in the depths of a rose. Her fragrance entrances me and makes me fly like a dove that search peace through…
Dusk of a summer day.
At dawn, I can see reality.
All was a vision of a final dream, this is my destiny.
I awake from this dream and I realize that my heart was stolen. My heart was stolen for my death.
Dark angels spread their wings and take me to a lost paradise where sadness dwells, where nothingness dwells. I have been before (in my dreams).
Now I’ll rest in peace forever without my blood just with my black heart surrounded of red roses.
You can live and then die but you can not die and then live.
You can paint red and then black but you can not paint black and then red.

The chaos of my mind made children of the night that didn’t let me sleep for pulling your head out.
Their whispers are like screams awaiting to live, awaiting to expire, awaiting to… kill.
(Screams from beyond)
They’ve been travelling through Heaven and Hell and all kind of mystical way destroying all human race.
Searching for you to pull your head out, screaming and killing and trying to survive. That’s the creation which provides from my mind.
Dancing in the shadows of old, awaiting for you to declare war. Darkness reigns in my world.
A thousand years depraving my race, a thousand years of passion and pain. We were the war, we were the death. I’ll destroy human race.
Pagan tears of my heart flowing through the times, screaming beyond darkness and raping before dawn.
You’ve been fighting for years against our religion and race.
Revenge is my law; you’ll feel our sword… and die!!!
You’ve been killing through the times; you killed the woman I loved. My heart is bleeding; my dark blood is flowing out. Darkness calls my children to pull your head out. You will pay my torture with your soul and life.
Sadness is my way of life, I mourn a thousand dead.
I gave a rose for you while you were killing me.
Revenge is what my mind screams, mutilation and pain.
I just want to rest in peace; my mind is going to explode.
My children will destroy to ease my pain.

Fragility of Life

Tears are drowning me.
I can’t live with this sorrow.
I want to escape from this dream.
(I dream) about a thousand people dying.
The end of summer… the beginning of the death.
Two candles burning… this is the end.
The end of feelings.
The end of hope.
The end of dreams.
The end of all.
Revenge is what I scream.
Everybody has the right to live.
Nobody wants his own death.
(But) Religions kill.
The end of summer… the beginning of the death.
Two candles burning… this is the end.
The end of feelings.
The end of hope.
The end of dreams.
The end of all.
But while I behold the candlelight…
…there is hope.

See me crying with tears of death.
Universe is watching me.
Nevermore to feel this fear.
Day after day, the end is near.
And if I die alone, then no more tears.
Yesterday, I remember you.
‘
See your face, full of tears.
No cry, the end is near.
In dreams, I’m always with you.
Go to live this life and enjoy the tears.
Hope to find you again.
Tears disappear.

Dark Embrace recommends:
Blacken The Angel
by Agathodaimon
A really fresh and different concept about dark black metal. The presence of keyboards creating atmosphere gave to the album the right touch to become an amazing album.
go to album
King Diamond the master of vocals, and Snowy Shaw the most original drummer ever into Metal music. Together they created, with those great guitar riffs, an awesome album in the difficult 90s.
