When ev’ning drapes all earth in purpled gown
Tarry I awhile upon green knolls
Longing for strength to fling my body down
and drown the wakeful anguish of my soul
for love and beauty all pervert and sour
and scarce-remembered pleasures all disgust
wilst hedonia lay benighted in her bow’r
all ever I have loved dissolved to dust
rebuked be talk of venerated sage
for in the very temple of delight
they say soft sadness pays rev’rent homage
wilst my mind’s halls remain devoid of light
though Melancholy tendeth Joy in rhyme
Yet I have ne’r gained entrance to her shrine

Anhedonia

Entranced ever by reveries of pain
In stasis held, by Agonia captive
Now malcontent to kneel at Beauty’s fane
For loveliness to me no longer lives
On unknown paths clouded as darken’d glass
Meander I alone through ceaseless days
On shores of the wide world, although so vast
No pleasures I perceived with veiléd gaze
Aloud I begged relief from cognizance
Wherein naught but oiziac strife abides
But Nature’s deaf to agonized lament
Vain howling stirreth not the Eunoch’d Sky
No succor awaits those whom life’s enslaved
Until Life’s carcass rots in putrid grave

Agonia

Lucifer, walk with me
Lucifer, enflame this heart
Lucifer, embrace this soul
For I am fallen just like you

I gave in
To life's bitter promises
Yes, I gave in
But not again

Lucifer, embrace my soul
I´ve lost everything - all I love
Lucifer, we share the dark
We are brothers, you and I

I gave in
To life's bitter promises
Yes, I gave in
But not again

Lucifer, share this wine
Bitter and black like my love
Lucifer, share my wine
One last toast before I go

(Kim Larsen 2003)

Lucifer (Of the Wand and the Moon cover)

We all are, to a man, to this condemn'd:
To fall to shame, all dignity bereft
Slavering curs, our teeth baréd to rend
What awe remain'd among us unto death
I sought to walk in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and winsome starry skies
But callous calumnies douséd the light
Plunging to blackness all I could espy
They say that in the soul of judgement's eye
Resides the greater portion of sin
But more among us quicken to despise
Without casting our gaze to scry within
Thus I am driven swiftly to my end
As all the bloodied earth cries for revenge

Condemned

SERAPHIC FIGURES WING BEFORE MY EYES 
THE SILENCE GOES UNSHAKEN BY STIFLED CRIES 
HERE IN THIS HALLOWED PLACE I LAY 
AND FEEL MY LIFE EBB OFF AND AWAY 

I WILL RETURN UNTO THE EARTH, 
TO DUST I WAS BEFORE MY BIRTH 
MY FACULTIES RETURN TO NAUGHT 
THE AGONY OF BEING, SNUFFED OUT 

WITHIN THIS PLACE I WAIT FOR YOU WITH OPEN ARMS 
DEATH IS MY NAME

Within This Hallowed Place (Redux)

NO ESCAPE
LABYRINTHS OF TORTURE
MENTAL AGONY
STIFLED CRIES

DEATH WON'T COME
NEGATE CONTROL
ASTRAL CHAINS
ENDLESS PAIN

YOU CANNOT TELL THEM
THEY WON'T BELIEVE YOU
YOU CAN'T ESCAPE US
YOU HAVE NO MOUTH

ETERNAL NIGHTMARE
BROKEN SOUL
TRAPPED FOREVER
IN ABYSSIC SUFFERING
