The thief mist hides our silhouettes, but does not veil your souls The sound of bells covers our whispers, but lets us understand your thoughts Our thousand faces reflect you Mirrors of the madness of the world Keepers of sanctuaries that became places of heresy Grotesque visions Witnessess of your decay We overhang you Sounding your hearts The nave of the madmen is lost in the dark night of the soul We are monsters begotten by the sleep of reason We were ramparts erected Us - images of your fears You are, henceforth, your own fears' embodiment Laughing at the vestiges of your past Dancing on the ruin of your faith We shall not protect you from sacrileges Leaving this god-forsaken land We, defenders of the balance, are laying down weapons The thief mist hides your souls Losing you on the pilgrim's path The sound of bells darkens your thoughts Distancing you from our wisdom We rise, spreading our wings Leaving your world Our baptism is of sulphur In a godless chaos We rise, breaking our bases Returning to dust Tired of the mistrust of a dogma Devoted to the erring ways of hope

When darkness eases and light touches us, neither our souls vacillate, nor our stature shakes When cold is lesser When heat is hope Neither our power weakens nor our authority contested On the dry heights, we set up our pride As in granite walls, we sculptured our castle Of our vastitude, we draft ''the rule'' Of our towers, appreciate, and undergo our ancestry Leper and plague victims Tighten hardly your weapons No pariah will survive this day For us, arrogance For you, vacuity This plague of imposture will someday be damned Floating to the wind Stir our banners Ferula is our symbol You've been warned Only remain valliant ones Carriers of sublime Majesty is a merit In anyway, a right No castle rises on swampy lands Your mediocre buildings will burn with you in flames You disguise the vile in a short-lived illusion Scrabby and cursed Admit and die For every despicable cheat there is a place on the gallows Sculptors of the throne which henceforth are ours Justify the mistrust that you show Winds carry us We are thunders and storms You'll be baptized in sulphur waves Strata welds us Sands of unity But time for you is counted by your failures Against our invincible walls will only ring a fragile echo

By the spirit, in its divine purity Of an unreal infinity, in its eternal kindness By the matter, in its devilish vice In its insignificant limits, in its absolute evil Dualist Our world is imperfection In the renunciation of a God, at the root of all evil Docetist Your saviour is illusion In the absence of flesh, there's neither passion nor death Recieve the consolement A baptism of spirit and fire The link between the divine of the man And the eon, the infinity, the absolute Rejection of sacraments Of godless acts, of a dogma dedicated to ignorance and sin Perfect heretics, our lives are pure Much more than those of our inquisitors "Who are you?" "We are the ones who say that the deimurge of this world is bad, and who say that the cosmos of this world is bad." - Amaury de Montfort Of a prosperous city, only ashes remains Plundered and ruined but for the dogma, purified The failure of a sect where the pious man is sacrificed For the benefit of a corpse converted by the sword

Roaming around northern countries I saw a man dancing under the gallows Along the brook leading to both Babels Carelessness and blindness were left behind Everything is all reverence for the Earth No ploughman stops for the death of a man Eternity doesn't arise from the pride We even let the angels sink Far from children's games and peasant weddings Popular proverbs turn the world upside down The jester's torch enlightens the grotesque sight Between the obese prince and the sad knight From preaching to the temptation of saints From religious conversion to a king's suicide From rebellion to the decay of angels From divine cavalry to mass entertainment Infinite pride entails angel's fall Eternal hunter breaks unity Those who challenge universal laws will see triumph of death outlined

Once upon a time In a unknown forest An old tree was mourning Some children were dancing To the mourn of the tree Were dancing every day The tribe around the tree Escaped out of this land The fear takes place in their hearts If you snatch the dagger From the entrails of the tree The shadows of darkness will hunt you The shadows of darkness will haunt you till your death The curse of the wizard coming from ancient ruins The moon comes in winter night Constellations describe bad omens Blackhunter in a vast forest Follow the footprints of the madness wolves A single bite infinite pleasure Their fangs tear your flesh in pain The curse of the wizard coming from ancient ruins

Night Fires up heavens, fires up senses Awaken, our eyes wide open Stars Our guides through time and space Move, our immaterial bodies Winds Carry our hopes, our desires, our strengths Raised in the immense universe Fire Burns in our souls, our eyes, our hearts Strengthened, our imminent departure Torrent of stars, make us drunk State of ecstasy, of pure trance Stellar winds transport us Dreamlike sublimations in the mind's eye Sand Mechanic of ages and lives Count, the state of a fate Ice Sublimes the light, etheric prism Look, the way is drawn Land Enrooten past, intended hoped Feel, the clear and astral azure Stones Wisdom memory, afflicted giants Move, for a celestial journey

It's been a long time since it all started A new hope arised from fire and ice Gathering of elements at the essence of force In the awakening of cosmic storms Unleash the fury as the new crowned king Unveiling enlightened era Free in mind, madness decline Rebirth as the final plague Awake a world with eyes wide open Erasing mistrusts of soul Free in mind, beliefs decline Rebirth as the final plague Reveal the elder as cradle of illusion and stop the wheel that used to keep the past Bathered in crystal dust, purity of silence Away from weakness that once ruled it all Healing the wings of the son of the maze And spreading it to cover sick sun's light Now it's time to take the crown as a shield from those of the night And hold it proudly on your head, as an end for ages of obscurantism
