(From the Chalice of Grievance)
(Lyrics by Anders Jacobsson, May 1997, edited July 1999)
Shadows now fall over this tearstain'd strife
Grievance:
My angel dark; I grieve these frozen years!
To thy knees thou fallest, trembling in thy fear"¦
A mournful gloom o'er these bleeding wounds
Spirit of Night:
Angels sing for us
They cometh fro' below!
Lucifer:
I shall rise from His land of pain
Darkness I am and the autumn-rain!
senses and hope leads astray
time will slowly fadeth away!
Astaroth:
Starfire burns, our black misanthropy"¦
but the battle is lost, and His wrath upon us
Grievance:
They are so alone so sadly beautiful
My love will shine and give them hope!
Spirit of Night:
Fires burn for us
they cometh fro' below!
Lucifer:
Lord of Heav'n and thy masterplan,
How could thou force us to worship man?
Here at last we shall be free"¦
In this darkness lies the key
In darkness lies my key"¦!
