Amidst dark oceans
Lies a Babylon built by demons
Waiting for the stars to align
To emerge with a malevolent Sun
The darkest gates
Wait for the unconscious hands of men
That will release
Millions years of hate
That is not dead can eternal lie
And with strange aeons (even) death may die
There is no word
To express the supreme terror
That spread into their mind
While seeing this loathsome horror
As the mountain moved
And their bodies fell to the ground
They ran to escape the fear
Knowing for them time had come
Now the gates are opened, Pandemonium of light
Ancient ones rise again for a greater war
Dreamers crawling through chaos
Announcing prophecies
Of new order to come
Erasing divinities
Perverting humanity
From men to beasts
Our cities becoming
Theatres of killing sprees
Tasted blood in all mouths
Eyes injected of hate
Slaughters from all mankind
Enjoying its new fate
Learning all their secrets
For better pleasure in death
Freedom is now complete
By new faith in stripping flesh
Our past has crumbled
Only stays a future of war
We now all live for death
Cumming on filthy stars
All the Earth set on fire
Mankind howling its wrath
Breaking bones, tearing flesh
And drinking blood for life

Bewitching Song
07:13

The Sun went down with threatening clouds
And the Moon arose from the dead trees
When I heard a strange creature's voice
Her playful eyes luring me within
Gone into the depths of the forest
To hear the end of her bewitching song
I blindly followed this charming nymphette
Until she left me inside the storm
Where has my beautiful witch gone ?
There is nothing but frost wind and dead leaves here
Crawling through the rain, restless and forlorn
Her cruel silence feeds my insane screams
Collapsed in mud, soaked to the skin
I am so tired no tear drops on my face
The tempest roars as if in dream
A dreadful scene of loneliness
Will this nightmare come to an end ?
Or is this an eternal torture ?
I cannot bear this pain anymore
I need so hard your beautiful glance
I could die in this infernal storm
Just to hear your bewitching voice again
Again...

I have seen them
Hidden beneath the ice
Plotting against our world
Betrayers by their side
From where no light can shine
Emerged a ruthless plan
And when the stars align
They would unleash their bane
Their entire army wait at the gates
Enthralled to end all human fate
Soulless and damned, animated with one purpose
Monsters of anger, of blood and might
Deploying wings to take their flight
Screaming like hell to announce their funest coming
Our trembling hearts, filled with terror
Prepare to fight our final hour
There is no chance to survive their brutality
And in a last look of confusion
Dreaded in pure desperation
We hold our hands knowing there will be only war
Helpless and dazed, stuck into place
Their madly charge breaks through our ranks
A wave of death pours down our land
Sweeping all hope, nothing will stand
No surge of pity amongst these beasts
Women and child slaughtered with ease
A sight of desolation
Blood everywhere
Our loved ones die, our vision blurs
Their screams of pain are barely heard
Through this insane rage
Their terrifying laugh reaveals sheer bloodlust
The thick smoke from our burning homes crush down my heart
I fall down to my knees and weep upon our loss
The blank eyes of the dead tell me to kill them all
No choice is left, I must survive
A buried instinct drives me to fight
Rushing into their ranks
I will not die in vain
An eye for an eye
A head for a head
No difference now, just total death
And if their swords get me
I will chew down their face
As the fire burns what is left
And all their blood runs down my face
I look into their eyes, ready to face the fear
For every slash into my flesh
I scream and fight back with my nails
I refuse to give in, these beasts must be punished
And in a last look of confusion
Inspired with pure desperation
To the dead I promise I will destroy them all

Tainted Faith
05:41

I always wondered the cause of your presence here
Why my people pray for your glory and their own fear ?
I am so sick of this devotion masquerade
Where doubts are crushed and lies hidden beneath the purest faith
With each step I feel trapped in a spiritual cell
I choose not to bow down and defy your magnificence
Lord your children are tired of you
Of sermons on light and of austere rules
Let us taste the fever, the fall into the abyss
And the holy cross shall announce our return
With a poisonous kiss...
You promised salvation if we submit to thee
We prayed but the sound of your voice is still a mystery
We placed our more sincere love and trust in your wisdom
Only to find you left us in a scornful betrayal
Lord can you hear the scream of the damned ?
They want their revenge against light
We shall break through Heaven and your angels full of pride
Tear off their pretty wings, eat their throat, burst their eyes
I want you to cry watching all your children die
Before your throne is spattered with your blood so divine
You promised our devotion would bring us the light
But our tainted faith always kept us in the night
Where are the beautiful wonders you promised us ?
We thrived through darkest rules but nothing quench our lust
Through this greatest blasphemy we claim back our true faith
Nevermore will we live by the submission of fate
Now your reign is over we are dommed to loneliness
But our children wll never grow in bliss of ignorance
An endless war has waged upon the believers
Will you stand on our side or wait for an answer forever ?

Each time I think of you I think of these dark days
When nothing said was true and all began to fade
Please forgive me, all this time I was so blind
Now let me tell you how I have suffered all this time
I was alone trying to fill my void
Then you appeared and I ceased to rot
Enthralled by you, breathing for and by yourself
I did not realised how the game we played was so insane
Look at me now, who am I in front of you ?
I am solely suffering for my dream will not come true
Hoping in vain your embrace, your kiss and your heart
The more I wait the less I see the light
Each time I weep I would you here to comfort me
But my own mind cannot make real this unreal dream
I cannot cut the only thread that makes me live
But it's so hard to see the waste that I begin to be
I am tired to cry for a girl that ignores me
I am tired to lie and pretend that I am free
Each day it's grief, hate then anguish that I feel
Like water turned into poison to make me ill
I am knocking on a door which is eternally closed
Weeping as a king whose queen is dead and love her bones
Enslaved by a goddess that does not accept mortals
Enslaved by a love that destroys all
That was a fool to believe you would fulfill my life
All I have done is kill my mind and burn my heart
If only I could sell to the devil
You'll be my slave and nevermore I will crawl
And in the dead of night I hear the whispering trees saying
"She will never be yours and this is how it shall be"
"You ask me to offer you something I cannot give
Try to understand the girl you love is just a dream"
I burnt myself into your eyes
Until I was crumbled into ashes
This obsession has taken my mind
And has reduced my whole life to suffering
From salvation to frustration
No fucking spell can stop the fall into this pain
Crucified by an insane love
My mouth is spitting a rotten blood from my veins
"I never wanted you to become such a waste
It is you who loved me and has killed yourself with hate"
I would like not to blame for the wings I lost
But I wonder what you would do if you were so lost
This wound inside you know it will never heal
For you did not try to understand how I feel
Now forgive me my dear I am close to suicide
But I don't weep for, as always, you will let me die

Above the Stars

Right in the middle of sewers
Where air is only stench
Stand billions of rats
Living in loathsome waste
None of them know what is light
But all dream of the Sun
Until they find a hidden door
To Angels' lust
For the very first time the rats look at the sky
Their eyes ironically burnt by the cruel sunlight
Entirely led by their stupid desire to fly
They want to rise above the stars
Blinded by passion they think that their wings have grown
Each of them lured as an insect towards the vortex void
They jump without knowing it's a collective suicide
To meet the ground where carcasses of angels lie

La Vieille Bâtisse

L'air moite et chaud qui émane de la terre m’enivre
La lumière passe à peine par la cime des vieux chênes
Cachée des yeux, enfouie au fond de la forêt
La vieille bâtisse m'attend quand je suis égaré
Virevoltant dans le vent, les feuilles mortes me guident
Vers ces marches brisées, témoins d'un passé oublié
Une ascension comme un souvenir d'une autre vie
L'antique terrasse surgit, suspendue dans le temps
Là, au milieu, une table en acier blanc
Et une chaise qui semblent m'attendre depuis des siècles
J'y prends ma place et contemple l'horizon
Ah ! Quelle beauté, ce dégradé de l'or jusqu'au vermeil...
Soudain de sombres nuages obscurcissent le ciel
Une pluie diluvienne tombe au loin comme un rideau
Le vent balaye tout dans un oubli éternel
La nature déchaînée, fait table rase du beau
Le tonnerre gronde, l'orage est annoncé
Des éclairs déchirent le ciel noir de mille feux
Une peinture cauchemardesque, le désespoir des hommes
Telle une créature mythique brûlant jusqu'aux cieux
Ce froid me glace les os
La vieille bâtisse craque de toutes parts
Mais mon coeur est calme
J'attends la pluie
J'attends l'orage
