DIMMU BORGIR

ENTHRONE DARKNESS TRIUMPHANT

1. MOURNING PALACE

Daylight has finally reached it's end
As evenfall strikes unto the sky
Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight
Sickening souls cry out in pain

Whispering voices, summering screams
Waiting for Satan to bless their sins
Black-hearted angels fallen from grace
Possessed by the search for utter darkness

Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace
Feel the gloom of restless spirits
Hear the screams of the Mourning Palace
Feel the doom of haunting chants

Eternal is their lives in misery
Eternal is their lives in grief

Abandoned in void of nothingness
A chain of anger, a letter of despair

In this garden of depraved beings
This unsacred place of helpless ones
Satan blessed the creatures
Unswathed them in endless night

Whispering voices, summering screams
Waiting for Satan to bless their sins
Black-hearted angels fallen from grace
Possessed by the search for utter darkness.

2. SPELLBOUND (By The Devil)

You have returned to the torture chambers
To find peace among the rotting corpses
You have returned to the execution place
To inhale the smell of blood

Death and terror rule the land
We have been spellbound

By the Devil

You have returned to hidden graves
Only you know about

You have returned to face your victims
And feel the sensation of violence once again

Death and terror rule the soul
You have been spellbound
By the Devil

Murderer, you have returned
To create fear and sorrow
Death and terror rule the land
We have been spellbound

By the Devil.

3. IN DEATH'S EMBRACE

By the light of the moon
And the beings of the night
A curse has been laid upon us
To seek and tear celestial gloss
To pieces

By the power of death
And the shadow of the Reaper
A call has been brought upon us
To complete the infinite fall of heaven

Without the wit or will to end this journey
We continue traveling towards our faith
Harvesting helpless Christian spirits
Raping the sanctity of saints

The heavenly father is stretching his hand
Pathetically begging for mercy
We spit and piss on his sacred flesh
As we breathe the breath on the unholy

For with the sign of the pentagram
Hellfire rage is for us to come
As we shall wander the pit
Unhallowed by the infernal one
We are forever captured
By the embrace of death.

4. RELINQUISHMENT OF SPIRIT AND FLESH

King of tempest and storms
Lord of innumerable figures and forms
Blessed with thy cold I am
As I upon shoulders of mine
Bear the burden of thine

Once I got touched by a fire from beyond
An invitation to darkness of which I could not resist
Caressed by the feathers of the fallen
I took the fate in my hand

My raging commander
My constant shade
My soul's persecutor
My eternal divinity

Revealing thy powers in visions and dreams
Invoking your magic at night
Honored I am to mission thy word
Within a creed is sworn of majestic might
An infernal allegiance in which I pay my share
An unholy awakening inside of which I intend to bear

I entreat you with devotion
I subsume your might with strength
I will carry on with you as my guardian
Against the lambs of the light

Possessed by the true god of earth
I am possessed by eternity.

5. THE NIGHT MASQUERADE

A scarlet sunset
The threshold to nightplay
A sinful oath is to be sworn
A becoming bloodlust
Among the seekers
Tyrannic hunger yearns

A gathering in flames and fires
Devil's daughters dance
Scourged in filth, obscene and lewd
Longing for a dark desires

Nocturnal beast appears
In an evil despotic shape
Expectant watching gracelessly
Before demanding the sluts of lust

Before demanding the sluts of lust

The beast:
"Come forth harlots, let's begin!"

The beast approaches:
"Rise and give praise in front of me
And receive eternal life from me!
Welcome my spirit in honor of me!
So drink of the blood I provide you
And you shall all forever wander in
The shadows of death!"

The chanting whores:
"Oh yes, master!
Let us receive thine offer and drink with thee!
And become a part of thy realm
With lust, sex and sodomy

For we are those who seek life eternally!"

The beast:
"Blood is life and it shall be all ours!"

6. TORMENTOR OF CHRISTIAN SOULS
No lyrics available

7. ENTRANCE

Souls on departure six-six-six
Onward unto another existence
A trip far beyond all pleasant dreams
A voyage through desolation sights

Inner transformation
Subconscious flight
In the glance fields of fires
In the distance meadows of mists
Where minds being enshrouded in complete night

The fading of love, life and light

Wandering an endless journey
Dead within a trance
Entering a lost dominion soulless and free
Visiting a foreign place, but yet so known

Another dimension opens for me to see
Heaven sure ain't made for me to be

Heaven sure ain't made for me to be

Souls on arrival six-six-six
One short step from unhallowed ground
The ground of kingdom come
Dead spirits communion
Unorthodox profane void

Gardens, temples, palaces
I have seen them all
In search for insanity
Sanity slowly drowns in trance.

8. MASTER OF DISHARMONY

Master of disharmony
Welcome my tainted soul
Take me from the hordes of the living
Into blessed darkness

Master of disorder
Take my impure flesh
Lead me unto the path of temptation
Save me from cowardness

Save me from cowardness

Master of sin
Take my cursed heart
Bring me where I can find salvation
For I am the damned

Master of death
Take my pitiful life
I am enslaved
I shall never forget the pain

Master of sin
Take my cursed heart
Bring me where I can find salvation

For I am the damned

Master of death
Take my pitiful life
I am enslaved
I shall never forget the pain.

9. PRUDENCE'S FALL

He became the swarm
Indeed a pitiful imitation
To the verge of a quiet glance
An oracle without eyes
Darkness, my precious companion
Even thou canst see his face
Salvation, turned to bleed
Despair, compassion fled

Sadistic delight flowed
Like hell burned brighter
Existence woven into darkness
Prudence did fall

In Satan's beauty life was found

A flow of orgasmic fire
Swept through the cosmic night
I enthroned darkness triumphant
With the searing trident
Of the inferno

"Gaze towards the heavens
And you might catch a glimpse of me."

10. A SUCCUBUS IN RAPTURE

Illness and plagues
Torture and blight
Is what she brings
Mocking holy standards
Deceiving feeble fools
Is what she loves

Granted with powers
Gifted with magic

Watching the world through ravens eyes

Damned woman
Mischievous whore
Heretic princess
Devil's own
Her seductive elegance
Excites your weak flesh
Her diabolical beauty
Enchants your bewildered mind

You damn woman
You mischievous whore
You heretic princess
You are Devil's own

A serenade made out of black magic
She has learned to set souls afire
And makes sure that yours never
Will leave its trance

Her diabolical beauty
Enchants your bewildered mind.

11. RAABJORN SPEILER DRAUGHEIMENS SKODDE (Bonus)

Langt, der borte i mørket
Gjennom tretopper der månelys driver
Langt, der borte i all tåke
Inn gjennom min sjel den sorte angst river

På de mosegrodde steiner de seg viser
Når nattemørket har senket seg over
Ekkoene, fra deres grufulle jamring
Endeløst, du kan høre

I horisonten langt vekk
Skimtes den sigende skodde
Horder av ild rider månelyset i flokk
Ved daggry de samles ved en bortgjemt odde

Den iskalde snoen
Har kommet
Denne gang
I evig fokk.
