The infamous 2018 swansong-debut of the MK1 AA lineup.

Aqua Vitae
Tempt me times thousandfold
With your misfit reverence
Bend me to your wisdom old
And into shadows of my mind
I may descend

Rain vigor to my flame
And plague me with lust
Shall freedom be my bane
And my blessing mistrust
Waters of life

The infamous 2018 swansong-debut of the MK1 AA lineup.

Harlot grove

Sparks dance high into the night
The coven flails with herbal fires
Surrounding birchtrees taint with shades
As they prance their games around the flames

And there I stopped and I stared
As if spellbound by their beauty and their wails
With fumes of their enthralling incense
Dreams found me from where I stayed

The morning sun struck my weary eyes
The woods of June bathed in soothing light
And there in the midst of bustling leaves
She stood there and called out for me

She stripped her black velvet lace
Dew of dawn sparkled gently on her face
The morning sun lingered sweetly on her breast
My anxious heart was beating wild in my chest

And so I had her
And so she had her dance upon me
The day reversed its face
And darkness laid its capes all around me

With fire she changed
And then recited a name,
BELPHEGOR!
Out from the deeps
Its voice called out for me
I trembled and I screamed about in terror

Her eyes turned into dreadful voids
And vile excrement was oozing from her loins
She beckoned the flames on to me
And said "you'll spend your days in purgatory"

Careless
I had my way and lost my mind
Damnation!
She holds my soul in endless night
SUCCUBUS!
Dare I ever speak her name?
SUCCUBUS!
A whore quenched in hellish flame

Metropolis

Come, Heed!
This world is ready
Each unit is an agent of perfection

We have overcome the binds of nature
And tamed the wild within our hearts

The death of thousands
For immortal few
Manifest in horrors
Of divergent views

Agony of nations
For the bliss of few
Terms laid in blood
An so order ensues

A divine social order
With lucid eyes seeing through all.
Fists of iron veiled in velvet gloves
Will see to a rogues fall!
Stand within your post assingned
By false belief of free will.
Each stand and passion
Set to serve the heartmachine.

Who'll stand to unify?
Who dares us to defy?

Insurrection leads but to deception
The tongues of fire lure us deeper into secession.

Satana ex machina!
Divide et impera!
Stand awestruck for all we have built!

Bitterness, hate and pride
Blend into a wine sanguine
Boiling in our veins
As the lights of a new day shine

An effort in disdain
Rebellion cries in pain
Blood paid in blood
Was this not what you had sought?

Illusions within illusions
Ever thinning veil of chaos over ordinance
Each coming generation
Submits to this mother of nations

You wouldnt believe what i saw
People took pride in being pawns

The world revolves
Metropolis

Evolves

The infamous 2018 swansong-debut of the MK1 AA lineup.

Wismar (A Night of Horrors)

On through the mountains
And over the vales
The Carpathian spires
Soar above this land of thieves and fiends

Beyond great chasm
Ascending to the mist
Through clouds and canyons
A fortress lies beyond the reach of dreams

Within its halls
Bell of midnight tolls
And in tomblike silence
Time, it seems to seize

Cursed for eternity
For centuries past
Dreams have been heavy
And blood has rekindled
The Wrath!

In the hours of the late
None escape their fate
And as the moon unveils
An Evil has prevailed

Here
With a voice of a deathbird bells of the midnight toll
They chime in the rhymes of doom
Fever
And appalling nightmares halt in the gloom of dawn
And in the shadows of its glaze
Black coffins set their way
To WISMAR!

Pestilence
Spreads its wings in dismal winds
Sowing forth plain violent madness
Into minds unhinged

Unforgiving torment
Will soon weed the weak
With flowers of rabid death
Blooming rampant on their skin

Funeral silence on a night of horrors
There is no hope of salvation for us

Those of christian faith
They shudder in their prayers
Only to be the first ones to taint
Becoming martyrs to their ways

Fear of death in feeble minds
Makes them drunk with mortal life
Among the sickness and the pain
(They) delight in sin in their final days

Saturnal feast on a night of horrors
There will be no salvation for us

No salvation in this rapture!

The dead are piled
By their hundreds in lidless graves
The crimson moons light
Dyes the mist in to a blood red veil

From curtains of smoke
And on by distorted paths
Comes forth king of vermin
A noble prince of BELIAL

Presiding countless legions
Of plague breeding rats
And a thirst yet unsatisfied
By thousands of wasted lives

Time
A boundless void
Enduring centuries of vain solitude
Hence a decadent mind
Gives in to temptation of night

Dawn, a vicious end for nocturnal souls
Revealing a sacrifice in serenity of death

In the looming hours of dawn when the death bird has called
The dreams are gone

And as the moon reavails
The evil still remains

4. Wismar

The infamous 2018 swansong-debut of the MK1 AA lineup.

Sleepwalker

At a duskfall
An eerie evensong
Hypnophobia
And a morbid lullaby

Awake I wither
A dead among living
Unliving dead

The night reveals its thorns
In deep shadows and in perilous forms
In my slumber I rise
My dreaming eyes open wide
Instinct sets in
Senses and subconscious
Set to kill

Somnambulia, Phantasmagoria
Relentless stage of orgasmic euphoria
As my blade sinks deep in your skin
Deep within your milkwhite skin

In the splendour of a starlit night
A grim symphony of death
I reduce the blue in your pearly eyes
Into black moons of autumn skies

Crimson blood in a night of azure
Delivered with a delicate touch
Swan-like sweetness of her form
Defiled with murderous lust
And so dawn breaks
I descend into the realm of the numb
Oblivion sets in
Until twilight when I sleep once again.

'Tis not me who sleeps
Just my mind and my conscience
I would have had deeds to redeem
Had I known just what I do

In the splendour of a starlit night
A grim symphony of death
I reduce the blue in your pearly eyes
Into black moons of autumn skies

Sleepwalking

Demons stride
Within depths of psyche
What evil might we find
Should we turn off our minds

Faust

Faust!
Do you see how they bleed?
How they plea to thee in their need.
A storm of death has ravished the land
As self deceit sits tight in your hand

Faust!
There is nothing to fear
All will be lost it should soon be clear
Weakness of age chills though your bone
Give in with faith and the prize will be honed!

Awake cant you see?
With your futile deeds
All mortal means
This will exceed
A lone flash of lightning!
And a thunderous roar
A malign crash of frightening!
Summons a demon form

Faust!
Already lost all your hope?
Bewail not, there is nowhere to go
Lets have our pact, there is much to see
Mortal constraints we have but to exceed

A drop of blood will do
Youll have it all as I promised to
Lavish temptation lies in your reach
Ventures in flesh and in sinful dreams

Try staying alive in a wild ride trough the night!

Seize
This demon pact!
There cannot be
No turning back

How
Could I forget!
And now
My love is dead

God damns you!
Have no hopes being saved
MEPHISTOPHELES!
You will lose in his game

A lone flash of lightning!
And a thunderous roar
A malign crash of frightening!
Summons a demon form

2. Faust

First preview to the works of the new MK2 lineup. A rehearsal demo of our song 'Restitution' recorded in October during the plagueridden year of 2021. The song describes a long-prophesized return of a powerful character in Finnish folklore by an unexpected means of transportation.

The Restitution

Through time beyond time
Preceding all memory
Enduring through changing ways
And blood-stained centuries

As if in the olden days
We congregate to revere
With flowing mead and festivity
The sunwheel at its peak

The bleak midnight sun
Caress me with your gentle beams
The serene midsummer breeze
Fondling through the rustling leaves

The faces of young and old
They join in a thoughtful stare
Spirit of forlorn pagan tales
Echoes in the air

I stare through the flames
Reaching above the ancient trees
Might they know where their roots lie
Or from whence became their seed

Suddenly in the white sky
A falling star in the night
Descending before our eyes
It's glare rivals the sun

An awe-inspiring being
Steps forth out of the gleam
A figure bearded and caped
With a sword and an engraved shield

Walking within our midst
He then turns to speak:
"I've been summoned again
to revive your creed"

From the sable skies he came
Across the starlight trail
Through the aeons made his way
And for an aeon may he now reign

Summer's End

Yield
As it all now dies again
The stars
The stars they cry today
The light
Glows grimmer everyday
The warmth
Dies!

Ah kneel now before
The darkness behind the autumns eyes

And the candlelight
It fades now slowly to the endless night

In the marble moonlight
Dark creatures lie
Beneath the shadows of its glaze 

In the mist on the meadows
The children of the night 
They're howling back at to the sky 

The horrors of dismay
Begone
And the curtain falls
No more

Beauty of leaves
On their lifeless twigs of trees
How can death be so delightful
All of life being so cruel

Bow before inevitable
As all you held dear withers away

And now before the winters breeze
Darkness blinds the land with tears of
Despair!

And on her deathbed
Queen of summer closed her eyes

The colours burst to flames
In an autumnal dream

Screams of death and of sorrow
Shatter the night with fear

Varjokartano, Osa 1

Tuhat tuhatta
Umpeen muurattua ikkunaa
Tuuli itkee
Luolan seinät huokaavat

Kuinka tänne jouduitkaan
Tuskin tietää koskaan saat
Olet vanki valtakunnan varjojen

Niin kellarissa maan
Mustat hahmot vaanivat
Sokeat saalistajat verta janoaa

Seiniin saliensa kirjattu
On salaisuudet synkät
Maailmankaikkeuden
Ikuisen kosmoksen

Ikkunattomat
Kylmät seinät 
Alati liikkuvat
Ikiyössä ajantaju katoaa

Huuda pimeään
Ei pimeä vastaa kuitenkaan
Ainoa uloskäynti labyrintin
On kuolema

Vieras varjoruhtinaan
Tässä, nyt ja ainiaan
Herra varjokartanon
On kuulu vieraanvaraisuudestaan

Näihin kuiluihin jo monta nyt
On jäänyt kulkijaa
Vain huudot epätoivon saleihinsa
Jäävät kaikumaan

Hullu huutaa
Kaiku vastaa
Ollaan varjokartanossa

Magna Arcanum

Nightmist on the lake of Llewellyn
Dark arts in the absence of light
Midst surrounding mountains howls the wind

Ancient sings of revelations
Dark riders on the fields at night
A restless soul undeceased

A tomb lies open in the cryptic light
Ol' lord he's awaken and there's hell to wait
Ancient secrets of Pendragon will befall
All prayers will fade away in futility

An ensing of old order
A pilgrim of black magistry
He has slumbered now
Past centuries

All spry and dreamless
Paralyzed in Alchemical sleep
No prison can withhold him now
No more

Arcane arts 
In his mind he wanders in the wilds
His signet is the cross of roses
And all emblems of foul sorcery

Now is the time of cosmic alignment
Constellations will be correct
An occult ritual to release the powers
Of thy lord below shall soon prevail

All sacrificial
Sorceries have now been concealed
Following this night he'll live now forever
Spawn into an infinite existence

An altar cast with a symbol of evil
A burning star in a pentacle form
In the gloom of a myriad candles
Our heads all swimming in Alchemical fumes

All hail now to the lord of the deeps
At long last the ritual is complete

A houndred-faced demon
And an arcane deathrite
All this now left astern
By surprising suspend
Site of ritual scorched away
In conflagration
Vague memories and ashes
Is all that remains

Now deceased unprecedented
He's back in his grave
In his eyes an expression
Of terrible violent fear
Old heired mausoleum
In its all twisted brilliance
A vile crimson thorn of death
Pierced through his heart
