I Am (God) (Lyrics: Sorceron, Music: Sorceron) I oppose the light I Am the bringer of storms and eternal fire Into the night I am the ruler of this mortal world Under a pale night sky blood rains from above Curdled and spoiled I am the walker of etherial worlds Marked by the shadows Eternally yours Unblessed be Behold the vastness of the sorrow I see no traces of light through the silence of night I am the earth Shattered images A grain of salt What we once were, what we once lost, cursing the dawn of man to hell Black candles burning Darkness and death Beyond the light of the sun Make no mistake I am God Damnation Harvesting the ruin of a another failed Creation The sign of evil, the path of the wolf Invocation In the morning twilight, elemental wisdom Elimination Of the weak, slit their throats to the spine I am God In the burning darkness, death and beyond I am God The center of the earth shall be my throne In Death Comes The Great Silence (Lyrics and music: Sorceron) Another day passes by and I am running out of excuses Running out of words to describe... And as my heart becomes dust a final exit becomes clear I stand beyond the sun with the comfort of emptiness inside Because I could never swallow your false ideals And I will never follow your god at the heels Dark waters running deep as my hatred Only the moon will witness my revenge And the blood stained snow reeks of your invention But in the loneliness of winter I am abomination Oh these words flow like the blood of mankind Cold dreamless sleep is beckoning and in death comes the great silence Infernal Divide (Lyrics and music: Sorceron) As the daylight withers and night falls over the earth Weltering in sadness Over a bitter loss You are the tragedy You are the land of no return I will watch the sky for a sign Will you wet the earth when you weep from above Rain pours down like wisdom Awakening the sleeping We have waited an eternity for the return When they shall rule again My existence Infernal divide A monument of the past Descending The World Beyond (Lyrics: Sorceron, Music: Sorceron, Ellyllon) Dwells no man into this infinity For as the last glow of the sun sets I feel an affinity towards the unity Between mankind and his divinity And they shall live out their lives Like an atom in infinity Void of their true destiny Though all of this holds a globe of significance to the coarse corruption The two thousand years of false assumptions So I gaze to the stars and seek the strange wisdom of the worlds beyond Empowered by the pulse of the cosmos to leave this world behind There is an exit I see nothing as the last glow of the sun sets I walk this earth like sand in the wind Drifting on and on into the years And they have lived out their lives like atoms in infinity Void of their true destiny Driven to madness the moon speaks to no one Spheres of darkness perpetual through the aeons and beyond Into the moonlight Upon the shoulders of ignorance They ask us a question One thousand words, read the writing on the walls Acolytes (Lyrics: Sorceron, Music: Sorceron, Ellyllon) Thy kingdom of heaven is foundering A foulness to the race of man Where they worship in the lands of the northern Where elder gods still lie in slumber In the dim light behold the vengeance of the infinite abyss Their seasons Their blood There is nothing but reservoirs of darkness Their seasons Their blood There is nothing Rise Stricken with fear and repent Rise Stricken with fear The darkest clouds form an alliance They're pounding away at the dawn Rise Where the cold waters tread fear Thy kingdom of heaven is foundering A foulness to the race of man The blackest of tides is rising Storming across the heavens In the dim light behold the vengeance of the infinite abyss Divine diseases Ailments of infinity Dwells no part of empyrean virtue I bid you haste I bid you haste Their seasons Their blood There is nothing but reservoirs of darkness Their seasons their blood There is nothing Rise Stricken with fear and repent Rise Stricken with fear The darkest clouds form an alliance They're pounding away at the dawn Rise Where the cold waters tread fear A Thousand Suns (Lyrics: Sorceron, Music: Sorceron, Ellyllon) Those treasured wisdoms were forgotten over time Holds a message stolen from the stars where we live in the shadows Here in the womb of a thousand suns The treasured wisdom forgotten over time Along the shore of the cosmos stolen from her embrace And so we stay here waiting for the call Waiting for the call The current situation demands contemplation War wages The battle still rages on and on and on That is what we were This is what we have become A reflection of purity cannot tell a lie And as the sun fades on the surface of the earth We are hell-bound Along the shores tonight Scatter the ashes of a fallen empire The time is nigh Like dark mantles under the night sky This night will last forever They fell prey to the corruption, now they prey to the corrupted That is what we were This is what we have become A reflection of purity cannot tell a lie And as the sun fades on the surface of the earth We are hell-bound Into the Ashes (Lyrics: Sorceron, Music: Sorceron, Ellyllon) You call from the shadows and curse my blood in the wind You speak in riddles The substance which is chipping away at the garden so balefully I will hunt you And even your god can't save you When the wind blows A mourning morning whispers serenity There's none to be had I will curse the very soil you walk until you drown in your own shame And feel the sweet kiss of death Across your cold skin Under the pale horned moon Their blood is stricken and cursed to the outer hells We conquer All in the sign of evil Into the cold embrace As the wind blows through the willows And the signature of man Has blinded the stars and the infinities beyond Reclaim the alter Rewrite the books I will haunt you And even your god can't save you When the wind blows A mourning morning whispers serenity There's none to be had Smoke & Mirrors (Lyrics: Sorceron, Music: Sorceron) In a dark corner of the room she sits in silence Behind the mask of beauty lies the truth Taken away The land has suffered under your heedless reign There is no end The land has suffered under your heedless reign Where is the end? Your love is like a sea without a shore You wear the crown of shadows well my friend but the truth of the matter is, Your stranger then a stranger in a strange land Your love is like a sea without a shore Your love is a curse holding me under its terrible spell I should not be here You wear the crown of shadows well my friend but the truth of the matter is, Your stranger then a stranger in a strange land I tried to reason I tried to comprehend This is treason Empyrean: Into The Cold Wastes (Lyrics: Sorceron, Music: Sorceron) Oh in the night skies Burns a darkness that will enlighten all of mankind as we know And it will glow with so bright a light showing us a clear path once invisible But in the stage of decay... Enshrine the forgotten secrets of the earth buried by angels in starlit chambers This is the sound; listen for the sound of the trumpets Through the eyes of creation I see the final stages of decay Beneath the burning palaces of heaven and into the pits of sands I watched thy kingdom come crumbling down Wrought their own destruction Subterranean origin Cataclysm casting the world into the dark The winds of wrath are howling into the cold wastes Under Hell Under Satan The Departure (Lyrics: Sorceron, Music: Sorceron) I will ride again Beyond the moon wandering In the land of the dead I am a king (King) of these negative forces Reclaim the earth and burn down the heavens A god whos kingdom lays within But the cruel frosts and wintry winds Make it difficult for me to protect you from the cold These icy shores are never... ...Ending this perennial cycle And if I'm not back by dawn please call my name Run into the night Your snow covered heart is dripping away but mine is shattering in the coldest of winds Floods (Lyrics: Sorceron, Music: Sorceron) A fortress of evil surrounded by darkness I move through the shadows I like the feeling of having you with me The power of the ancient course through my veins as we drink from the everlasting fountains We are gods in this state I am your keeper This is shelter This is everything you ever wanted Ever needed I am your keeper In the eye of the winter This is everything you ever wanted Ever needed This is your sanctuary Oh I cast my hand out and bring forth the floods unto the lands And cast away all amongst the living from the earth May your spirits cry for all of an eternity though I'll hear them nay There's but one refuge once the storm is summoned Can your hear me? Can you hear me? I am your keeper This is shelter This is everything you ever wanted Ever needed I am your keeper In the eye of the winter This is everything you ever wanted Ever needed This is your sanctuary Awaken the spirits Returning your memories Rescuing forever Flood my soul with calamities But my heart is beating me into reality But now I'm leaving I'll walk away from this As the fire burns because these curses have no cure I call out to the below With hell in my eyes there's no turning back I'll stay here forever Your precious flesh is my only token of your memory The Departure (Lyrics: Sorceron, Music: Sorceron) I will ride again Beyond the moon wandering In the land of the dead I am a king (King) of these negative forces Reclaim the earth and burn down the heavens A god whos kingdom lays within But the cruel frosts and wintry winds Make it difficult for me to protect you from the cold These icy shores are never... ...Ending this perennial cycle And if I'm not back by dawn please call my name Run into the night Your snow covered heart is dripping away but mine is shattering in the coldest of winds
