The Book 04:33
Liquid, sticky lines Stories meander and trickle Communiqués that cruise with no end Whispers of slow ooze and drain Reading takes you inside Slow observant attention Tracing plots uncovers Layers of inner self Gush is an explosion Slow trickle - description Pulsing rhythm a sonnet Steady rush like a novel Veins are like lines White parchment of the bones Vessels of pages that collect Meaning and truth and sense It takes years to perfect Comprehension and skill Tender touch of the red So elusive to capture Ripped pages, lost meaning Words trailing off into void Cooling plot with no climax No text is forever

The Hunt 05:50
Hideaway, I can stay Mountains cover my way back One door in each direction from my hall, My waterfall Let them come, how come they never Wonder why I defy Wish to see them all die black They do not see a different way alone, None but their own They just take, I take it they are close by now Out hunting for their truth Out on the fields of insanity after me Let me be, they'll deceive me, never believe me In the end we all stand alone Each keeper of his truth On our own field of insanity just like me Let me be, they'll deceive you, never believe you In the end you're alone Burn and rave, not so brave Take him into the cave deep Now see your own son as I hold My vow to you and now She'd a tear and tear his brother To the bone all alone No one hearing your moan creep A paragon of pain and sadness lies never to rise Bound by guts his guts have left him all by now Out hunting for their truth Out on the fields of insanity after me Let me be, they'll deceive me, never believe me In the end we all stand alone Each keeper of his truth On our own field of insanity just like me Let me be, they'll deceive you, never believe you In the end you're alone

Nattfödd 04:51
Svartkonst och magiska krafter. I natt jag tar den som en tid var min. Jag suger livet ut. Blåsa till urgammal asken... ...urgammal asken! Jag är världens mörkret. Jag är det dödande vattnet. Jag är livets blod. Du ska bli pinad för dina brott. För dina brott! Sargad för dina synder. Dina synder mot oss alla. Du ska bli tukt ad för att vi skulle helas. Dina sår skall giva oss bot... giva oss äntligen bot. Jag längtar efter ett slut. Men vet ej hur det ska ske. Dags har kommit egentligen. Jag är världens mörkret. Jag är det dödande vattnet. Jag är livets blod. Du ska bli pinad för dina brott.

Taken the long way Dark realms I went through I arrived My vision's so clear In anger and pain I left deep wounds behind But I arrived Truth might be changed by victory Beyond the void but deep within me A swamp of filth exists A lake it was of crystal beauty But Arda's spring went by I've heard the warning Well curse my name I'll keep on laughing No regret, no regret Don't fear the eyes of the dark Lord Morgoth I cried All hope is gone but I swear revenge Hear my oath I will take part in your damned fate I will always remember their cries Like a shadow which covers the light I will always remember the time But it's past I cannot turn back the time (I) Don't look back There's still smoke near the shore But I arrived, revenge be mine I will take part in your damned fate Morgoth I cried It's my oath So don't fear the eyes Of the dark Lord Suddenly I realized (Soon you will be free) The prophecies (Set your spirit free) I've never believed in My deeds were wrong I've stained the land And slain my kin (Burning Soul) There's no release from my sins It hurts, the curse of Feanor runs long Time and only time will tell us Tell, was I right or wrong? When anger breaks through I'll leave mercy behind I will take part in your damned fate Morgoth I cried It's my oath So don't fear the eyes Of the dark Lord I will always remember their cries Like a shadow they'll cover my life But I'll also remember mine (And) After all, I'm still alive Morgoth I cried All hope is gone but I swear revenge It's my oath I will take part in your damned fate

Trapped inside a box Four long years Hiding from the world Punished by your peers Studied teachers words Stabbed a box of hearts Earned a piece of paper No go forth and start Go forth Be conquered Go Forth and Die Now you've graduated Mind is mutilated Thrust into the world Feeling segregated Move in with your parents Back into the dark Landed where you started Bachelor of Arts The learning starts now... Open up your textbooks and turn to the Chapter concerning your DETH Night sky Bleeds red Black birds Bring DETH You'll be eaten by the blackness Of your rotting mind that's dying You're consumed with sharpened wings That penetrate your frightened lying Go die Go die Go die go! Now you're sad and frightened Want to go and hide Maybe get your masters Eight more years inside Dream of your own murder Strangled by the IVY Drown in student loans Better off just dying Go Die Go Die You'll be eaten by the blackness Of your rotting mind that's dying You're consumed with sharpened wings That penetrate your frightened lying Go Forth Be conquered Go forth and die Go forth be conquered Go forth and die

Fornfamnad 03:39
Upp på hällens översta back Upp på bergets högsta sten Jag klättrat dess rygg på alla fyra För skogens ande, för dem som viska Ett skrik nu stiga från sargad strupe Ett himlarop, bara skogen lyssna Ett skrik nu stiga från skuret sinne Få nu höra, få nu förstå Älgen gamle, han talt till mig Om tidevarv utan månens stigar Skogens fåglar sjungit liv och lycka I fornfamnad morgonrodnads stund Jag funnit sanning i kvistars sång Jag lystrat visdom i vindars gång Mitt skri nu eka mellar häll och fura Jag funnit sanning i kvistars sång Ett skrik nu stiga från sargad strupe Ett himlarop, bara skogen lyssna Ett skrik nu stiga från skuret sinne Få nu höra, få nu förstå Få nu höra, få nu förstå Få nu höra, få nu förstå Få nu höra, få nu förstå Få nu höra, få nu förstå Jag funnit sanning i kvistars sång Jag lystrat visdom i vindars gång Mitt skri nu eka mellan häll och fura Jag funnit sanning i kvistars sång
