Black Wedding

Black veil falls on thy ash white cold skin.
Red lips touch, as we waltz in a sin.
Ballroom bonds two lost souls in one heart rhythm.
No more fears.
You're my bride!

And we...
Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance!
We dance our sacred waltz... in dark romance while heavens cry.
We glance at moonless sky... gloom takes our hearts at the black wedding nights.

Keys are lost to our hearts and souls.
No worries.
Our love will crack all locks.

And we...
Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance!
We dance our sacred waltz... sealing our trust with silent sighs.
We glance at moonless sky... losing our minds, as true love never dies.
We dance our sacred waltz... in dark romance while heavens cry.
We glance at moonless sky... gloom takes our hearts at the black wedding nights.

We dance our sacred waltz... in dark romance while heavens cry.
We glance at moonless sky... gloom takes our hearts at the black wedding nights.

Love me forever!
Be my defender!
Hold me with tender!
Lust me with temper!
Feed me thy nectar!
Choke me with anger!
Show me thy terror!
Love me forever!

Raise thy glass filled with last drop of pure blood!
Bottoms up!
Innocence is lost.

The Crow

Ease my pain. Take my thrill.
Let your black wings be my shield.
Watch me close. Keep me safe... I will.
Feel my grief. Share my spree.
Through my eyes I'll make thou see.

Only lone dark crow protects me.

It's rainy night that brings
Thou ardour and thou tears.
Don't cry. Open thy eyes.
Come close and stay with me.
Fierce pain will come to past,
Like dreams that rot in dust.
Don't cry. Walk tall with pride.
Black bird awaits for thee.

Grasp my neck. Hold me tight.
Let your sweet tears cure my heart.
Darkness moans. Grope our lust... tonight.
Wind died down. Sorrow's gone.
Sorrow's gone.
In our love we are the one.

Only lone dark crow refines me.

It's rainy night that brings
Thou ardour and thou tears.
Don't cry. Open thy eyes.
Come close and stay with me.
Fierce pain will come to past,
Like dreams that rot in dust.
Don't cry. Walk tall with pride.
The crow awaits for thee.

Through the times and the mists I will be there.
Next to thee... keeping thy rest safe.
I can swear on my life and my soul,
That our love never ends. It will glow!
Let it flow. Let it grow. Let me know...
How my sweet crow wants me to caw him.
Our bond will break all bars.

Don't let go.

Black wings will bring us back to the restful garth. I won't fall.
No force will take you from me now.
You are in my scars.

See me. Watch me. Black bird.
Hear me. Hark me. Black bird.
Feel me. Palp me. Black bird.
Tempt me. Lure me. Black bird.
Hug me. Clutch me. Black bird.
Lust me. Love me. Black bird.
Own me. Hold me. Black bird.
Save me. Spare me. Black crow!

Can't held myself tonight I am crying.
Can't held myself tonight I am dying.
Can't held myself deep in the night
While my heart is being tickled by black feathers of crow.

Can't held myself tonight I am falling.
Can't held myself tonight I am moaning.
Can't held myself deep in the night
While my heart is being tickled by black feathers of crow.

Hunter and Prey

Close thy eyes. Embrace thy fear.
Be my prey in this silent night.
Feel my claws on thy rear.
Shiver grows down the spine.

Spread your winds. Bare your fangs.
You can try, though you will never have me.
Fowler cries. Free bird flies.
What a tease!

Thou canst run. Thou canst hide.
Hold thy breath. I canst feel thy awe.
End is nigh. Stakes are high.
Thou art mine here and now!
Twine your web. Shed your bane.
Pin my heart on a bur.
Cage is shut. Wings are cut.
Be my sweet predator.

In this pursuit we are not the foes.
We are partners in vertigo of life.
Hunter and prey — their lives entwined.
Kite eat worms and later worms will eat kite.
Nowhere to run. Thorns are everywhere.
Taste my venom on the tip of thy tongue.
Hunter and prey, their masks are on.
Never know, who is playing what role.

Find me!
Hunt me!
Chase me!
Strike me!
Grasp me!
Taste me!
Bite me!
Prey on me!
Find me!
Steer me!
Joy me!
Love me!
Feel me!
Squeeze me!
Please me!
Tease me!

In this pursuit we are not the foes.
We are partners in vertigo of life.
Hunter and prey — their lives entwined.
Kite eat worms and later worms will eat kite.
Nowhere to run. Chaos everywhere.
Rules are inverted for the kicks of the prey.
Circuit is closed. Never ending loop.
Aeons go by, as snake catches its tail.

Lullaby for Wolves

Silver stars grace the sky.
Look sharp, as they shine.
Hear chirrs in the dark.
Heart beats. Tonight.
Moonlight shows the path.

Eyes sheen in the deep.
They gaze, as you sleep.
Sing hymns of the night.
They're quiet and loud.
Lullaby for wolves.

And we chant...
Dance in the dusk.
While the lights burn in our hearts.
You can feel their blaze in your mind,
As the world falls into darkness.
By the break of day, you'll awake.
Troubled times will stay in the belt of yours.
But until the night reigns the ball.
Keep the passion grow is your soul.

Rain taps on the roof.
Be brave, my sweet wolf.
We howl at moonlight
With joy tonight.
Lullaby for wolves.

And we chant...
Dance in the dusk.
While the lights burn in our hearts.
You can feel their blaze while you cry and laugh,
As the world fades in the gulf.
By the break of day, you'll awake.
Troubled times will stay in the belt of yours.
But until the night reigns the ball.
Keep the passion grow is your soul.

Dance in the dusk.
While the lights burn in our hearts.
You can feel their blaze while you cry and laugh,
As the world fades in the gulf.
Early at dawn, you'll awake.
Troubled times will stay in the belt of yours.
But until the night reigns the ball.
Keep the passion grow is your soul.

Dance in the dusk.
While the lights burn in our hearts and core.
You can feel their call in your mind,
As the world falls into darkness.
Early at dawn, you'll awake.
Troubled times will stay in the belt of yours.
But until the night reigns the ball.
Keep the passion grow is your soul.

Hail Thyself!

Idols fall to the ground.
Pipe dreams will be drowned.
Wisdom screams in sharp pain.
Let my will take the reign!
The night sky above dead rocks
Strike with its thunderbolts.
My voice sounds through the seas.
Bow thy heads to thy dark prince.

Legion comes through the deep mists of eons.
Feel its might as the winds shape this world.

Darkness protects my soul
From light's blinding glow.
Courage leads grave campaign.
Let my will take the reign!
Terror of faith and gods
Bring horrors with its fraud.
Reason its voice is heard.
Break the chain! Leave the herd!

Wisdom cries through the deep mists of eons.
Feel its might as the winds shape this world.

I shall free me. No one else will.
Let thy reason succeed and prevail!

How could we live our lives so blind?
We should leave all our fears behind.

In this world we are our own gods.
All the rest are virulent thoughts.

No more lies, as I saw the sooth.
It's my life to live an' improve.

I can see light deep in the darkest chasm.
While the darkness has shown its face in the brightest light.

Lies no longer needed for those who seek the truth.
No doctrines are perfect, therefore I'll make my worth.
Even if thou find these Ideas to be fair,
Never follow them blindly, honor your own way.

Hail thyself! Be your own god!

Halloween (All Hallows' Eve)

Fright.
Thou've lost thy soul tonight.
Get ready for the flight.
With bat's and raven's pride.
Here we come.

Ghosts
Are lurking in the shade.
Prepare thy rusty spade.
Cadaver's debt is payed.

Light
From jack o lanterns snout
Illuminates the route.
Allow demons to shout.
Here we come.

Blood
On spiders web and walls
Is shed by voodoo dolls.
Skeletons sing this chorus.

Black cats haunt thee.
Hear the loud scream.
Graves are empty.
Thats our Halloween.
Flesh and candy.
Thou shall not grieve.
Thirteen candles
For all hallows eve.

Seers
Are dancing in the rain
Sabbath of witches reign

With cauldrons on the plain
Here we come.

Beasts
That hide within thy mind
Are being unleashed to dine.
Fangs are shown. End is nigh.

Black cats haunt thee.
Hear the loud scream.
Graves are empty.
Thats our Halloween.
Flesh and candy.
Thou shall not grieve.
Thirteen candles
For all hallows eve.

Trick or treat!
Trick or treat!
Please us, will you, while we are nice.

Threat or treat!
Threat or treat!
You will please us, with gouged eyes.

Death of the Puppet

Dark figures dance in the scene.
Silhouettes unite.
Shadow play.

The Red curtain falls. The drama ends.
Actors leave the stage,
But I stay.

I could fly through the spring
Like a mighty raven on black wings.
I could liv like a king
But I'm just a puppet with chopped strings.

Rust in my hinge. Wood decayed.
Clothes are full of dirt. Broken clay.
The smile on my face is just a stain.
Play with me now, please. I'm in pain.

I could shine in the night
Like distant stars of galaxies.
I could conquer the heights.
But I'm just'a puppet with chopped strings.

I could hum in the fields
Like a yellow bee with pointed sting.
I could dive like a fish.
Seeing endless depths that no one seen.
I could live in a cage
Like a canary that can sing.
I could dance on this stage.
But I'm just'a puppet with chopped strings.

This is Our Time

Time to be free.
Time to rise up our flags.
No need to whist.
Nothing will break us down.
Time to be loud.
Time to enjoy our lives.
Take a deep breath.
Feel! Courage will break all bonds.
As this is our time.
We march with dignity.
Rise! While the world sings our solemn hymn.
Let the past go!
Open the gates of now.
And future will come with brightest sheen.

Wings of change,
Let them blow our sails.
Even if we crash one day.
We shall rise like a firebird
From the deepest ash.

Time to be fair.
Time to be strong and wise.
This is our world.
No one should stay behind.
Open your mind.
Embrace the strength of will.
Raise your head high.
See! How the horizon glows.
As this is our time.
No need to run from it.
Since piercing light burns deep
In our fervent earts.
As this is our age.
Epochs belong to us.
Sing! As we compose our timeless art.

Wings of change,
Let them blow our sails.
Even if we crash one day.
We shall rise, like a firebird
From the deepest ash.

Raise your hands.
Keep them up high.
Together we stand tall.

Raise your flags.
Hold on them tight.
Together we break walls.

Raise your horns.
This is our night.
Together we sing loud.

Raise yourselves.
Up to the sky.
Together we shall fly.

Clamor Gothici

Alta silencium.
Luna argentum.
Umbra obscurus.
Nox plena arcanus.
Ars celare artem.
Ira velo requiem.
Nihil est santi.
Clamor Gothici.

Lux me relinquit.
Res in tenebris.
Omnia mors aequat.
Autem resurgam.
Sors est vanae
Les delenda est.
Astra inclinant,
Sed non obligant.

Pulchra tenebris veritas est.
Rosa vitae crescit semper.

Totum ad undas,
Si spes perdita.
Sed suos cultoras
Scientia coronat
Aut rex aut nihil.
Deus est decessit.
Qui me protegas
Ab me dirus ipse?

Pulchra tenebris veritas est.
Rosa vitae crescit semper.
Clamor Gothici. Flamma fortis.
Clamor Gothici. Amo noctis.
Ira horrendus.
Mors est decorus.
Solum tenebris
Semper fidelis.

Clamor Gothici. Omnia ficta.
Clamor Gothici. Vox ex infra.
Nigrum altanus.
Dolore ludus.
In paean amoris
Ire ad astris.

Amplexabitur
Me opscurum.
Agere sequitur

Acta inferum.
Lacero glutis
Voces ardenti
Clamor Gothici
Canto aevum.

Ab inctus lucet
Lunae lumen
Miseria docet.
Usque post mortem.
Lacero glutis
Voces ardenti
Clamor Gothici
Canto aevum.

Nox,
Libera me et pone.
Tenebris me tangit
Me clamor igitur.
Amo hac nocte.
Protegas me eruat
Bellorum nequitia
Custodiat te.

Somnus. Somnum. Sollictus dirus.
Ignis. Ira. Nigrum lux ferit.
Musa. Furor. Doceo ego.
Angor. Luctus. Renatus in umbra.

Nox atra et tacitus.
— Timeo.
Nihil timor.
— Qeare?
Ego prope.
— Me clamor.
Nox cum dilectione repleti.
— Tene me.
Sentio te.
— Ama me.
Aeternum.
