Plunged into mad lanes of the cold wind in labyrinths of horrors From the south of the river where old dreams were buried for centuries A flash staggered out of my sight and seen still burrowed onward in the night Cracking the sound in chimes When the elders in their greyhair croaked in great and terrifying fears What was lurking till the black soul loomed ahead Seeing the way that the seed of men was runing dead Dying fetus spread out as sand, under stars obscured by the dirty men Out of a pharos in a tower of stone, there shoot dusk the beam of the dark Where the elder was living all alone, talking to chaos in rithym of the drums Through a mirror came whispers and dark oaths, of a creature and time unknow The thing that whispers was wearing a mask, made of skin of a dead A face from this earth not, so forbidden to be mention loud Nightmarish dark visions, recreating deformed creatures Bright clusters of the dimensioned space, where time and matter stretched away Chaos without form takes place, in the vast multitude of darkness face I dreamed things but not understood, always in shapeless vórtices are shown In a cracked dome by a monstrous paw, gives each frail the cosmos eternal law A lost world floating dimly on time’s stream, often seen as a misted dark dream Strange towers and curious lapping rivers, shimmering at the vague deep visions Through labyrinths and low vaults of light, I crossed the flames in a winter’s night I see great moors to sedgy shores unpeopled, where vast truths remain unfilled

Damned Souls 03:42
The spirits of the dead, so evil and desolate Beyond the ancient unholy wonted, haunts of all mortal men From the waters of doom draws, the fatal curse of pestilence Beheld in a pale night, moonbeams flow through the darkness Beneath beams unfold, never told by anyone Too old for human sight, lies sunken in the endless night In those depths there I only pace, in a form of a sweet child By the shadows of a voiceless race, extinted by the human kind Into the forest at night, is cast a magic spell The evil one and the damned souls, now watch through the gates of hell While in the lurid sky, the gibbous moon glow’d and flows Call ravens and vultures, by the smell of putrefying corpses So the dreadful moon, climbed up the sky so high Frightening the stars, from outer darken sky The lake’s dull water glow in blood Till sunken things appeared from the mood There shone fathomless ghosts Once living creatures, now, damned souls Shades of the upper space block the moon’s face Then sank the empty eyes in the dreaming lake of death A timeless lake of old like the desperate mourn The infinitywaters that sink for now and for evermore

Far down from the deepest dark hole Where moss grey boulders hump above the mould A curious drops, disquieting fall in the rotten spine Sprayed up from an unseen streams in gulfs inside Straight in my path, a monstrous mound appeared Till suddenly sounds of winds emanate from an alien tree Sucking me back to the dream inside the transient sphere From the hidden and silent place rises a slowly brightening face Through the glory and torment the night hued a lone shone The Morning star, so bright, on sight as never of old Traced the pictures on the quivering air, memories of my sorrow Out of the cosmic dome they shall come, in ray´s call from afar, my old lost home A certain ancient thing more than a trace, a dark dim essence more than form or face A tenuous aether although indeterminate, linked with all the laws of time and space Now out of reach possesing hidden keys, find the faint untouchable signs of eternity High moon, descended again, broke the light till the night was dominant Still acheing my soul with a great pain, all the crags of the uplands were in grey Where dark sand was far stretching to the shore, walking dim pathways and rocks I recalled Sadly for many years in the lost nevermore, in darkness was the morning of my youth As the breeze over the brine, high on the cliff over the waters I stood in sight A dread sound come along, from the waters leaps the howling creature With flaming orbs the creature flies, and chants with a hellish voice a hungry cry Coming gently in silent bound, with a fixed purpose over the wet ground When a frantic wind cast its horrid wail, and mutters madly through the lifeless frail Then a nameless thought fulfills the air, leaping the mad wolf whom seizes on my flesh

Hanged since the dawn amid the dark trees At dusk a presence spat upon the face appears Come life or death, told the one on the tree Not a word was spoken, a surprise of fear The creature raised up and stared with sightlessness in the eyes A faceless, slow and stiff, with purple lips Stood still like a statue carved of marble stone Till the one laid the clammy hand on the shoulder bone Then shrieked like a soul in hell, spreading its blood like a spell Although the joints and legs creaking in unwonted task The once man came with a face like a mummy's mask For the great fear of death its life was blown out as a lamp Writhed in a horrid grin, like a devils face For stronger than death are the flames of a man's hate A frightening horror was revealed, in the damp of the melting field Where a ghastly thing beholds the coming of the human chills With pleasure in the loss, unwept and not seen Swift flew and gripping to the frozen plain Although the sun was shedding its glow Blowing away the heaviest and purest snow Mourned the thing forever in the hideous form While the awful storm prowled and frozen the lifeless corpse Far in desolation, sailing distant seas, away I strayed, where the water is flowing free To the same scene, of the lost yesterday, not a strange, to my tortured eye´s gaze
5.
Lords shunned from their thrones Hidden in solitary castles of their own Where dwelt a man, whose fortress stood In the hushed twilight of a lineage cursed A proud memorial honoured past Many tales of strangeness have been said Bowed throughout years, blind eyes and closed doors The fear of death is their great companion Crossed themselves to see the change Those subtle slanders, with downcast face A muffled voice, sing the tales no men may trace Within the room where the morning sunshine gleams Whilst the poor youth recalls the troubled dreams While the gloomy spirits seem to rise As the world beholds with clearering eyes With a brighter and a blacker heart That nor sense or measure can confine
6.
Golden face, house of the great strength, Thou flamimg horns, ruler of the kings and lords The majestic ray, light of the prophanous song, Whom countenance is over all and most exalted one Recall the glory of the ancient chants, thrills, haunts and conquers the hearts of men Cleansing and purifing thou hearts once misbegotten, when the old worship is set on the altar Burning all the great ornaments, in the dark surrounding space I blind myself to see your fase, my feble eyes now can see clearer Weighs out the offering and accepts the deepest pain Hears the voice of the profane, Lord of the face and eyes inviolate Thy strength and great advice run through my veins, like your seed from the sea to the plain land remains In a feast of flesh, erodes the unfaithful ones, thy unsleeping matter, in thou phenomena of form Through the purest blood whilst the moon and sun, create the black dimensional gate in a eclipse A new age is dawning in reverence to the Lord, while virgin´s offering thier immaculate and precious love To the gaze of the alchemist and the eye of the sorcerer, revealed is the secret from beyond the confines of the cloister In a much more glorious age fitfully to the evil cell, where the calling voices of destiny, lift away as the winds of Hell I am the black light in the eclipse, the sea in raging winds The spaceless one, unformed in the face of the dome I am before the sun and moon were I am poised in fear and will, so the solitude i will brake to conceive the free will I am the all-seen-eye, beyond the very end In the desolate halls and lonely vales of bones and sand I hear the woven of silence, in the haunted fears I am beyond the pathways of murmurings and desperate screams Religious tremble from the rebellions and rumbles Crowned with the flame of horror and lightning through the thunders Unleashing power for scouring the oceans from shore to land The glittering and belching smoke, conquering, devouring the plains Flying over chasms, then burrows into caverns along the paths Upon the unstoppable rebellion, avenging force of human soul Spews the breath by bringing light to the loyal servants on earth Beyond the purest pain and the mourning cries, through immortality, an Ode to the Dark is cast Beyond the starless night and the freezen moon, through the mystery, an Ode to the Dark is heard Beyond the life spell and the curse and lust, through eternity, an Ode to the Dark is sung Beyond the gate of Hell and the realm of souls, through all boundaries, an Ode to the Dark resounds

A rift in the dome, such a marvelous think to explore Worlds where only devils can be, I am breathless in expectancy As of vast the ancient waters I recall sensations not corporeal Flying over the ocean waste, chattering in a sinister haste To inner memories known, great gardens where memories blow Feelings luscious to the taste, grove with branches over the coldest place I dream vague dreams while on earth, recalling marks of an olden shore Where torture is owner and empty waters stretch away once more Sunken deep into the alien throng, from old towers heard the lost song For I first saw the light in an old town, in a freezen cold nightfall Dirty harbour rich with visionings, carved doorways where the sunset beams Flooded old fanlights and window panes, were sights that shaped my darkest dreams Shifting the ways and muddled faiths, across the walls of earth and hell The moments thongs and set me free, to stand alone in eternity ¬¬¬¬A black haven of eternal night, where elder signs of secrets rise Open clear paths in mad retreat, from below the clumping feet For each dawn found in its place, every night the spirit gone to race Through gulfs of worlds from olden days, still night across space thrown away
8.
Beyond the spheres of light, into the darknest abysmal voids The pulse of chaos´ forces, the spirit to the props of senses The birth of suns and worlds, transmutated into limpid flames Their birth and deaths course, a perpetual termless age Reborn again to serve the lord of darkness The omnipotence existence takes its rise The once born must die A fragile earth, experiments the cosmic ethereal soul Aspiring mites and moral vermins, presuming natural rites Whom ignorance with empty pomp adorns, in specious dignity trone Reasoning vaunt themselves, to visions lost in ethereal vortices The soul once tuned to the infinity, refuse to glimpse Felt the breeding of corruption, the divine disease Broke forth my mind searing scorn through the land So the essence of the hatred soul, take over the tragedy of truth And mankind embraces the solitude, and dull dusk Where the truth is crushed down, spaking and ceasing all the flames Of fuming in torments dire, whirling in stroms of mighty fires Bound by laws fathomed not, in cycles of girth what is lost All seemed, dazzled in gaze ablazed, till the glow became insane Glimpses of the underworld, beyond creations so remote Born on the wings of immensity, reaching my soul´s insanity
9.
The stormy ancient winds could never bleach The evil with a portent beyond the speech Sailing out of home, heard sounds of screams Of long-dead times, inside my mind, reached in the night Sinked in dark lanes, as the sealed tomb The ancient leprous town, forever throngs Chanting to strange lords, unhallowed and filth gongs In crypts beneath foul alleys, near to the grey shore Where they leaned drunk, and half-animated Edging through the filth, passing through the gate To the black courtyard, the man would be wasted The dark high walls were closed, and life was cursed Into the wild light, swarmed with the songs of the devils core With either voices and nightmares of a curse Blazing fires through the skies from a furtive fearing of life Dark crypts for swallowing corpses when the human dreams are broken Fading the day, heard faint howls Coming from up above and from deep below Through the panes one sunset ray hit the fase Glimpsing and running in frenzyness from the born place Straight to the bottom of the human fucking grave
10.
I am the encircling wolves, advancing with ghastly pace Hungry for flesh and blood, in each gleaming face In the hideous darkest night, I flashed like a bolt of light Peasants shivers and fears, displayed to every witness Around the blest spot, I see a radiant glow Now it is time to fade and vanish below the freezing moon In the eyes, fades the light and dies the raging blast The hour of dread it is and the reigning horror will last So wonder of fear are stilled in its deepest sleep As through the breaking clouds the moon rays peep Fear this is not a fairytale, but a blend of truth and dream like air exhaled No fate would babble the wolf wracked night When wild eerie ways afford the sight Rise the dawn’s bright radiance bated A eventful scene so late in terror swathed I found new pleasures in the gruesome spot While chattering churls sought the ruined cot Over roads and meads I felt the new dript wound Till I lost myself amidst the swampy ground Always unappeased with the flesh consumed For what the sand takes is never returned Yet strangely mutters are heard over the mystery In the dark with my insanity My wild eyes were glowed with some unusual sight Hunters were lurkering in the river bank at night Men and hunting hounds, who mourned with piteous woes I howled by the quicksand swamp Then their grief and fears were mounting like a cancer
11.
Dread wings, blows the north wind’s breath When in the midnight the heavens are burning in flames Thro’ ethereal deeps afar a restless moment is found An alluring star sudden gleamins high in the arctic air And freedom dwells bearing also a sudden spell A man of light in the throne lost in dirty thoughts Crept delirious to hope dissolving to derision ways In infame spectral sights of the endless madness of his life When walking into the stream of the flowing waters of cleansing Enterest into the chamber boldest converse of divinity In the golden house designed in the marvelous speech of all advise In thy purety of the black light shinining high as the stars The oldest faith declines in the presence of the black light So the wrack’d soul in solitude recieves the devil´s lust Dispensing the beams the divine lord of mine in splendour shines In the shining light, the soul unrest beholding the Master’s glare Against the tides of time, hear now the humble ones Let us rest in the past, convey us where emptyness may last Charmed in cheerful horrors, there displayed by sin Vowed in pain to woo the dark grace, which is my inheretance Here in my gloom, resolved to chant a choir of doom Grouped round the fire my dear visage, wish for deriding Whilst through the dreams, serpents shall come gliding. In breathing of death, so mighty and so divine
12.
The winter sun in flames beyond spires Burning the elders´splendours divine desires Toward walls their flesh is quivering for fearing Along the row where the way leads to cleansing It is the land where beauty is the roting flesh Where every unplaced memory will never last Where the great river of time ends its course Down the vast void in starlit streams of ghosts Where the oaks feel the pain of the living ones At dawn they´re lurking where no men roams A twilight gloom, in Winter season is born Above the ice sheet lone brought by the frost So the shewing lamplight starts to low down in the room And also dead leaves rush in a strange, twisted gloom Following heeding geometries of outer space Through misticism the black spirits shall be raised A dream of visions shunned, shew dead eyes in the darkest gulfs Made nature inspired, bulding vaster parts under the dome Through the ghoul gateways, past the mooned abysses of night Lives without number, sounded all things with their only sight Struggling in the daybreak, being driven to madness with fright Drifted over neverending seas, under sinister grey clouded skies Many forked lightning are rending, resounding hysterical cries While deformed creatures, out of the green waters starts to rise When the sky is vaporous flame, where the black planets roll without aim Where they roll in horror unheeded, without knowledge, lustre or name
