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
