Dimmu Borgir - Devil's Path / Old Man's Child - In the Shades of Life

DIMMU BORGIR

DEVIL'S PATH

  1. MASTER OF DISHARMONY

Master of disharmony
Welcome my tainted soul
Take me from the hordes of the living
Into the blessed darkness
Master of disorder
Take my unpure flesh
Lead me unto to the path of temptation
Save me from my 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.

  2. DEVIL'S PATH

Never shall the sun kiss my face
And caress me with its burning light
For I dwell in the shadows
And sleep side by side with death

In dark desire I embrace the whore
Giving her an escape from an unworthy life
For with the appearance of a fallen angel

I serve darkness

I am a prince among the damned
As I've been for an eternity
The monarch in a dark paradise
Cursed by life and the living

I serve darkness

Oh tremble not my immortal heart
Though you beat in the shadows of death
Eternal life is the blessing
And I shall rule for another thousand years

Never shall the sun kiss my face
And caress me with its burning light
For I dwell in the shadows
And sleep side by side with death

I am a prince among the damned
As I've been for an eternity
The monarch in a dark paradise
Cursed by life and the living.

  3. NOCTURNAL FEAR

Obscurity hides the plateau
Stars darken in their place
Nanna's glowing above
Illuminates the silent scenery

Seven they are Yezidi's call
Aeon of night eager to prevail

From the mountains of dawn they cry
The call of the frantic god
From the womb of mother earth they scream
The wage of creation and sin

Seven they are Yezidi's call
Aeon of night eager to prevail

"The sleeping lord awakes
 Tiamat pulls at her chains
 The blind phantom rages
 Azag Thoth howls"

"Vibrations at the black ether's edge
 As nocturnal fear penetrates the land
 Ecstatical celebrations at their zenith
 The seven sharpen their claws..."

Winds emerge from the east
Deep, dark water moves
Even the cold it done eclipses
When they adore the dog-faced beast

Seven they are Yezidi's call
Aeon of night eager to prevail

As they admit the infernal tide
The eye on the throne derides
The old gods and their tribes
In chaos Tiamat laughs pride...

Seven they are Yezidi's call
Aeon of night eager to prevail.

  4. NOCTURNAL FEAR (CELTICALLY PROSESSED)

Obscurity hides the plateau
Stars darken in their place
Nanna's glowing above
Illuminates the silent scenery

Seven they are Yezidi's call
Aeon of night eager to prevail

From the mountains of dawn they cry
The call of the frantic god
From the womb of mother earth they scream
The wage of creation and sin

Seven they are Yezidi's call
Aeon of night eager to prevail

"The sleeping lord awakes
 Tiamat pulls at her chains
 The blind phantom rages
 Azag Thoth howls"

"Vibrations at the black ether's edge
 As nocturnal fear penetrates the land
 Ecstatical celebrations at their zenith
 The seven sharpen their claws..."

Winds emerge from the east
Deep, dark water moves
Even the cold it done eclipses
When they adore the dog-faced beast

Seven they are Yezidi's call
Aeon of night eager to prevail

As they admit the infernal tide
The eye on the throne derides
The old gods and their tribes
In chaos Tiamat laughs pride...

Seven they are Yezidi's call
Aeon of night eager to prevail.

OLD MAN'S CHILD

IN THE SHADES OF LIFE

  5. ST. AIDENS FALL

Norse soldiers armed with virtue
Heart of steel, minds filled with dignity
Once they sailed across the open sea
Their eyes glowed with death-joy and glory

Brave men of endless strength
As they sailed across the open sea
Weak men in brown robes cried for mercy
Screamed for the help to god almighty

The ultimate warrior force
Crushed them 'neath their iron hand
Mightiest conquerors ever, to be seen
They were sent from an old foreign land
Waded in blood battle until the end
A gift of strength
Give from Wotan high

Turned their gods and their ships to the north
The waves upon the water were like ripples in their minds
Entered then the ancient land of darkness
As they soon would turn their ships again

Norse soldiers armed with virtue
Heart of steel, minds filled with dignity
Once they sailed across the open sea
Their eyes glowed with death-joy and glory.

  6. SEEDS OF THE ANCIENT GODS

Whipping tears from the sky
As the forsaken throne embraces its soul
With blood on their hands
And high-raised swords
The ancient gods command

Fading the forest the shadows of the past
With the ravens command they march onward

Swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
As they bend down and greet to their gods
A cold mist now hovers their ground
As they gather for war, mighty and proud

Shadows appear from behind the torchlight
Slowly arise from the deepest fog
The pestering storms
The raging battles forward from the north

An ancient myth of a time to come
A black hole, an empty grave
A birth of a forthcoming master
The darkening sky

The fallen life as the stars die
In the gloom they rise
The crowned ones
Of ancient times

Fading the forest the shadows of the past
With the ravens command they march onward.

  7. MANET SORGFULL IGJENNOM SKOGEN

Tårer faller som tungt høstregn
I et kaldt desemberlandskap
Tårer for min skoltet og min verdighet

På min ferd inn I ensomheten
Inn I skogens mørke
Til min sorgers opphav jeg går
I skam

Jeg fylles av satans makter
Og en dyster harmfull fred
Et kall fra hans land
Jeg skal synke I dødens vann
Og fare med strømmene mot dødens land

Hun slikker mine kinn
Mens døden lokker kan jeg skimte hans rike
Triste øyne og spake stemmer
Følg min dragning mot gravens kalde mørke

Tårer faller som tungt høstregn
I et kaldt desemberlandskap
Tårer for min skoltet og min verdighet

Så I Mørket skal vi atter reises for krig mot lyset
Vi skal herje, jagende vårt bytte
Som en storm skal vi rive I filler hans rike
Under mørkets klinge skal vi do

I en tapper krig
Jeg skal do
Aldri stride mere
Kom drikk mine tårer
Og mot din grotte vandre

I din grotte vi skal rå

På min ferd inn I ensomheten
Inn I skogens mørke
Til min sorgers opphav jeg går
Med hat

Hun fuktet mini lepper
Mens døden lokker har jeg nådd ditt rike

Triste øyne og spake stemmer
Følg min dragning mot gravens kalde mørke.

  8. THE OLD MAN'S CHILD

Gods of the ancient twilight
Glance the golden past
Let me enter your hidden gate
Let me know I am the last

Rise nocturnal spirits
Eternal gods of the north
Blow your wind upon my flesh
Reach me your immortal force

I dance through the winter storms
All through a lifetime as man
Marching to the deepest fog
To bend down beneath your ancient hand

So engraved by battles for years
But more mighty than ever
With blood on my weapons I hunger
For more (I shall never give up the war)

I'll make this night my darkest intentions
Walking towards your kingdom
Winter of the Norse evil
I summon you to embrace and crown me

Rise nocturnal spirits
Eternal gods of the north
Blow your wind upon my flesh
Reach me your immortal force.

  9. ...OG JEG IAKTTOK DODSRIKETS INNTOG

Kun opplyst av
Kveldsstjernen
Ventende uten kjarlighet, uten varme
Død skal komme

Så spill ut all mjod
Og legg fjellene øde
Måtte deres ruiner bli meg en verdig
Grav.
