2021 - THE HASTENING

1. This Orphan Age


What if the beating stops inside
What to do when offsprings pass

I know of a manor where they can lurk
So they shall live on imprisoned

What a bad disease
Poor girl's deceased
Even the blind can see it's fake
They put her somewhere else
What a bad disease
Poor girl's deceased
It's lies and false and fake
She's in that orphanage

Hit by a wind, hit by a wind
Of adolescence
Hit by a wind, hit by a wind
Of adolescence we born again

In this orphan age
This orphan age
This orphan age
This orphan age

Visit the smallest who had to leave
Such a great loss', so they say
Enter the fence rails, little one
The young live on 'till parents are gone

What a bad disease
Poor girl's deceased
It's lies and false and fake, she's in that orphanage

Hit by a wind, hit by a wind
Of adolescence
Hit by a wind, hit by a wind
Of adolescence we born again
Hit by a wind, hit by a wind (Hit by a wind)
Of adolescence
Hit by a wind, hit by a wind (Don't you see)
Of adolescence we born again (Again, again, again)

In this orphan age
This orphan age
This orphan age



2. Say No to Anything

Was it the stairway, far too steep
Was it her blue glance of steel
That turned on a childheart's beat
Roamed around the moonlit walls
Had a sudden sense of loss
Or a sense of lust, were I in love

Say no to anything that bounds
Say no, unfold your soul
Say no to anything that bounds, unfold your soul

She replied the Sun must shine
Over the sea-washed barren mounts
With the storming wind she was gone
Only once, aeons ago
Saw the idol, saw the muse
A blonde fairy of the shores

Infected with the one adored
In fact it is just me enrobed

How selfish to be stuck in my woe
How disgusting to be stuck in my woe
Woven and torn
Unbroken vow

Say no to anything that bounds
Say no, unfold your soul
Say no to anything that bounds, unfold your soul
Unfold your soul




3. Fast Forward!

Take a pen and take the tape too
Wind it over, let the swirl begin
You're on the A side where it's paused
In the first half, still got a lot to spend

Stacking piles of reminiscence
Beware of the future, get off the grid
How much more do you estimate
In a magnetic storm, prisoners of fate

You are in the hastening
Battling your time
Unbearable in hastening
Fast forward
Driven by the hastening of End

Take a pen and take the tape too
Wind it over, let the swirl begin
You're on the B side, don't you stop
In the second half, still got a sentence to spend

Tangling the thread of lives
Come on eject me, come on eject now
Come on eject me, come on eject us now

You are in the hastening
Battling your time
Unbearable in hastening
Fast forward

You are in the hastening
Battling your time, whoa
Unbearable in hastening
Fast forward
Driven by the hastening of
Liberation, termination
Driven by the hastening of End




4. How to Miss Them

Maud Hansson was only twenty
During the shootings, a burning witch
At the time I first got to know her
Was at the same age
Perfectly hopeless, what an exact match

It's harder than I think to grasp they are made-up
Can speak of reasons till dawn why it won't work out
Woe is me! Seduction had no bounds

How to miss them
The worst is yet to come
How to miss them, why to miss them
Each connection, all relations
A final act, still undone

The milky white miss on a rear seat
Carried around by her dad
Every day she appeared as Euphemia
We were at the same age
Perfectly hopeless, what an exact match

It's harder than I think to grasp they're too distant
Can speak of reasons till dawn why it won't work out
Woe is me! Seduction had no bounds

Join forces with dissolution
Join forces with billowing Death
Or to join forces for example with Kid Ashtear
No, let me fade instead

"Oh, don't you just wanna die a little bit inside?
Just wanna die"

How to miss them
The worst is yet to come
How to miss them, why to miss them
Each connection, all relations
A final act, still undone

How to miss them
The worst is yet to come
How to miss them and why to miss them
Each connection, all relations
A final act, still undone
A final act, still undone




5. Seven Souls

80s were the glory days
Celebrate the last decade when I had not been

Let them go inside the spacecraft
By every death they died
We did grieve, we were taught
We watched live, seven souls blasting the face of God

Climbing on in thunderstorm
Wonders won't dazzle us, we got used to them

It's history
Challenging times of greater aims

"3, 2, 1 and liftoff! Liftoff of the 25th space shuttle mission and it has cleared the tower!
Challenger now heading down range."

Let them go inside the spacecraft
By every death they died
We did grieve, we were taught
We watched live, seven souls blasting the face of God

Slipping out from earthly bonds
T minus one till the astral plane

It's history
The envied ones may rest at sea




6. Godsand

I'm taken on a ride
He keeps teaching on the go
I'm too young to realise
He's a relative, a foe
We are to the open wide

To those who drowned in Godsand

A fortress or a tomb
Walls collapsed, the ceiling descends
Ownerless cave, forsaken shirts
Why must I see this horrendous grave
Thanks to that long term misbelief
You taught me on the way
(In) decomposition
Children's corpses will sublimate

From those
From those who drowned in Godsand
From those who drowned in Godsand
Where's a sand boil to escape from the spoil

I've been told to end this day
Night time came true
When the whole town sleeps
I have to join the queue
Every light is off
Not a single one's in charge
Part of a system
Even if it's false

I'm taken on a ride
He keeps teaching on the go
I'm too young to realise
He's a relative, a foe
We are to the open wide




7. Witness Mountain

Heard stories of an inland sea
Proud name for a lake
And heard the tales they told
About a hill that was breathing flames

Just a nerveless boy
So determined
Restorations taking place
Excavating the dirt times filled

Digging the witness mountain
Digging the witness mountain
Join us! Digging the witness mountain
The volcano wakes again

Read about the basalt organs
Dry facts of a long gone age
Learnt every meaningless
Economic disadvantage

Of course
They can't be compared to Fantasies
So memorised the masterplan
And stayed patient for infinity (for infinity, for infinity)

What if we literally climbed above the vineyard
Heading abysmal deeps
No exception, it's an order
A whole nation fails but the magma's on the surface, who-a-oh

Join us! Digging the witness mountain
Digging the witness mountain
Join us! Digging the witness mountain
The volcano wakes again




8. Mr Smith of Dreams

Far from our daily world
Never thought I'd meet you here
Never thought I'd meet your spirit
Welcome Mr smith of Dreams

Far from our daily world
Never thought I'd meet you here
Never thought I'd meet your spirit
We must talk Mr smith of Dreams

There is something I need to confess to you
Remorse reached my core and I swear I tell the truth

I saw cathedrals, tall
Covered in spider web
Then saw the Lyse kloster
Wearing just moss instead

And the Parris Mansion's bats inside
I'm sure you'd love that maze of eroded walls they hide
Expiration of death cold silence in the air
Remorse reached my core and I swear I tell the truth, o yeah

Far from our daily world
Never thought I'd meet you here
Never thought I'd meet your spirit
Welcome Mr smith of Dreams

Don't you tell me
You weren't aware that
We make an art depraved, distorted
An "art degenerate"

There is something I need to confess to you
Remorse reached my core and I swear I tell the truth
There is something I wish to persuade you
I'm sure we are of the race that meets extinction soon

We are of the race
We are of the race
We are of the race




9. Serpentine

Generations gathering to hike the peaks up high
Three of us with joining hands we walk a bending line
Ugh!

Early morning we left the town to catch the noon outside
Just an awful cover story where real reasons hide

We almost touched the sky
We almost saw the land that reminds of Mordor
We almost reached the top
A grey horizon and everything beyond the Serpentine

Obviously non-existent scenes loading my mind
Twenty years have rushed away, we must have arrived

Painted a picture long before I knew a thing about
Delusions that could lead a life, believe me or not

We almost touched the sky
We almost saw the land that reminds of Mordor
We almost reached the top
A grey horizon and everything beyond the Serpentine




10. I Wish, I Crave, I Beg You (Pythona)

"- I have seen you before! In a dream, a vision...
- In a memory."

You supreme mystic one
Endless longing's over now
Reveal your naked self
This means the way to die

You must know all I need
Fulfill what should be done
With true passion and lust
Can't wait to be gone

Can't wait to be gone

Pythona - I wish, I crave, I beg you to finalize
Pythona - Prepare for Eternity, it's in your eyes

The moment's blurry haze
Morbid heat to admire
In wordless union
Of an instinctive desire

At the highest point of our
Foul fornication
Sink your venom dripping nails
Into the self you defiled

Sink your venom dripping nails
Into the self you defiled

Pythona - I wish, I crave, I beg you to finalize
Pythona - Prepare for Eternity, it's in your eyes
Pythona - I wish, I crave, I beg you to finalize
Pythona - "Prepare for Eternity", it's in your eyes




11. The Gem Mines

We went below for an eternity
To be enchanted by the minerals
Bejeweled by the shine of gems
A violet glaze enlights the mine

A mind flies, creating, crystalizing something new

There she is, grand mother of the dust
Who has raised me, grown that old
All alone working in the dim
How could she kept all this untold

A mind flies, creating, crystalizing something new
Years gone, an eve came and that dazing continued, who-oh




12. To the Ravens' Nest

Closets filled with raven treasures
And new sensations in a second home
Where a younghood misspent
More than a guest, almost a brother
Unlimited access

Having this hideaway
Ordinaries antidote
A state of guilt so safe
From any corner of the globe

I dream us back to the Ravens' nest
To an era of innocence
Dream us back to the Ravens' nest
Slippery lies we kept
I dream us back to the Ravens' nest
To an era of innocence
Stained I am, spit I am
Resigned to get relief

Park on the outside, its light through the curtain
The wall clock keeps ticking, drumming on my nerves
A friendship lasted way too long
Or began too early before we grew up and went wrong

Having this hideaway
Ordinaries antidote
A state of guilt so safe
From any corner of the globe

I dream us back to the Ravens' nest
To an era of innocence
Dream us back to the Ravens' nest
Slippery lies we kept
I dream us back to the Ravens' nest
To an era of innocence
Stained I am, spit I am
Resigned to get relief

I dream us back to the Ravens' nest, oo-ooh
I dream us back to the Ravens' nest, to the Ravens' nest-nest-nest
I dream us back to the Ravens' nest
I dream us back to the Ravens' nest, the Ravens' nest
I dream us back to the Ravens' nest
I dream us back to the Ravens' nest


2018 - SAY NO TO ANYTHING

1. Say No to Anything

Was it the stairway, far too steep
Was it her blue glance of steel
That turned on a childheart's beat

Roamed around the moonlit walls
Had a sudden sense of loss
Or a sense of lust, were I in love

Say no to anything that bounds
Say no, unfold your soul
Say no to anything that bounds, unfold your soul

She replied the Sun must shine
Over the sea-washed barren mounts
With the storming wind she's gone

Only once, aeons ago
Saw the idol, saw the muse
A blonde fairy of the shores

Infected with the one adored
In fact it is just me enrobed

How selfish to be stuck into my woe
How disgusting to be stuck into my woe
Woven and torn
Unbroken vow

Say no to anything that bounds
Say no, unfold your soul
Say no to anything that bounds, unfold your soul
Unfold your soul



2. A Passage in Time

(Originally by Dead Can Dance)

These silent chances pass one by
Who never knew of them at all
Resigned to the hands of fate
We await her impending beck and call

Until we return, paradise interred
Spread your golden wings, let the sails unfurl
Until we return, paradise interred
Spread your golden wings, let the fires burn

These silent chances pass one by
Who never knew of them at all
Resigned to the hands of fate
We await her impending beck and call

Until we return, paradise interred
Spread your golden wings, let the sails unfurl
Until we return, paradise interred
Spread your golden wings, let the sails unfurl

Well, opportunity's doors did not open wide
The answers remain locked away inside
Locked away inside
Locked away inside
Locked away inside
Locked away inside

So forced into labour we till the earth
To sow the seeds of our own rebirth
As the days turned into years
Our faith overcame any doubts or fears
Any doubts or fears
Are there any doubts or fears?
Any doubts or fears
Are there any doubts or fears?

In truth we had found the key
But its application would unravel this mystery
This mystery
This mystery
This mystery
This mystery


2017 - WHEN ALL JUST WERE

1. Infinity Sign

To halls of knowledge we've been taken in
For learning motions of naming eternity
Bells were ringing, we've done it thru
We're all ignorant, can never get the truth

How easy to draw an Infinity Sign
But to handle, it's beyond our mind
An Infinity Sign

What we've summoned is greater than we take
Close and open symbolic spheres again
I feel the narrowness of grids I'm in
Upon command I keep straightening

How easy to draw an Infinity Sign
But to handle, it's beyond our mind
A-a-ah

Newborn things they reach me late
I've departured, still staring at that lonesome place
I turn my back against tomorrow's gates

How easy to draw an Infinity Sign
But to handle, it's beyond our mind
An Infinity Sign
It's beyond our mind
An Infinity Sign



2. Cobra B.A.T.

I recall the past we walked the road countless times
Now you're overgrown, for me they're the same old miles
Recall the landings, I fell on the battleground
I'm made to stand it, not to cry

Wars are over, are over now
No more aging, ever resting, my work is done
Wars are over, are over now
So abandoned in the drawer, my work is done

In the backyard I've been ordinary dead
And resurrected with new roles to play them
In the heat of their game I broke my hand
How I miss, how I miss to be on demand

Wars are over, are over now
No more aging, ever resting, my work is done
Wars are over, are over now
So abandoned in the drawer, my work is done
My fate has come

It should end here before he finds my heart
It should end here before he finds my heart
It should end here before he finds my heart
It should end here before he finds my heart

Wars are over, are over now
No more aging, ever resting, my work is done
Wars are over, are over now
So abandoned in the drawer, my work is done



3. Transilvanian Hunger

(Originally by Darkthrone, lyrics by Fenriz 1992)

Transilvanian Hunger... cold... soul
Your hands are cruel... to haunt... to haunt
The mountains are cold... soul... soul...
Careful... pale... forever at Night

Take me... can't you feel the Call
Embrace Me Eternally in your daylight slumber
To be Draped by the Shadow of your Morbid Palace
oh, Hate Living... The only heat is warm blood

So Pure... So Cold
Transilvanian Hunger
So Pure... So Cold

Hail to the True, intense vampires
A story made for Divine fulfillment
To be the ones breathing a Wind of Sorrow
Sorrow and fright the dearest catharsis

Beautiful Evil Self to be the Morbid Count
A part of a Pact that is delightfully immortal
Beautiful Evil Self to be the Morbid Count
A part of a Pact that is delightfully immortal

So Pure... So Cold
Transilvanian Hunger
So Pure... So Cold

So Pure... So Cold
Transilvanian Hunger
So Pure... So Cold

So Pure... So Cold
So Pure... So Cold



4. Far Enough

See that feeble shine slowly glowin' up
Cross the evening sky
Once we called it 'Home' when we walked the Earth
But I moved behind

Now it's far enough
To feel safe under a weaker Sun
Now it's far enough
To die down n' be an only one

Too much time I spent, too many bites I got
In the mouth of time
Avoid misleading turns and foresee unknown ways
I searched for hills to climb

Now it's far enough
To feel safe under a weaker Sun
Now it's far enough
To die down n' be an only one

Desolated imaginary land
Tomorrow means the incoming of Lack
Will the desert find my self alive?
Rusted plains hear the farewell prays to None
Desolated imaginary land
Tomorrow means the incoming of Lack
Will the desert find my self alive?
Rusted plains hear the farewell prays to None

Venus - a view in blur
Remains of plans held up for ever
Awake to the morning when all just were
Venus - a view in blur
Remains of plans held up for ever
Awake to the morning when all just were



5. The Old Town (Never Gets Done)

Deepest regrets - forbidden is to fade away
Keep fillin' gaps - for speeding up my age
Deepest regrets - forbidden is to fade

I watch our towers grow
From here down they almost wrap the sky
I can't wait when they finally get done
But we know it will never ever come

The old town...
The order...

I doubt our worn-out roads
Could the battling of cracks and patches end?
I was eager to find as the unfailing runs out
As disgust bloomed out of my heart

The old town - oh it never gets done
The patience - in the lingering of time
The order - shall be only without us
Of these four I'll be the first to leave off

Deepest regrets - forbidden is to fade away
Keep fillin' gaps - for speeding up my age
Deepest regrets - forbidden is to fade

The old town...
The patience...
The order...
Of these four I'll be the first to leave off



6. Awaken Out

Secret artifacts, all hail the soulside
Seen only at night time, now they meet the daylight
To bring on Blackness straight from a dreamland
Where I just returned from, they followed me back

Hide the sunbeams for a deathlike state
Retreat into oversleep

Gift is each and every day
Gift is each and every day
Awaken out from here
When childhood turns to funereally open grave
Childhood turns to funereally open grave

Secret artifacts of overflowing unreal
Representing the subconscious last will
Slumber holds my hand, slumber takes me there
In fever of zero, in fever to fulfill

Hide the sunbeams for a deathlike state
Retreat into oversleep

Gift is each and every day
Gift is each and every day
Awaken out from here

Awaken out from here
Among the passed away
Awaken out from here
Among the passed away

Gift is each and every day
Awaken out from here
Gift is each and every day
Awaken out from here
When childhood turns to funereally open grave
Childhood turns to funereally open grave



7. Vanishing Slow

Railway is losing, so do my dreams
A lake sends that sound from the other side
I gaze in the black, the unfolding black
Shapes flashing for my open eyes

Come and go astray
In wonders' stream

Into Stormclouds of a shaded horizon
Wasted away by Vanishing Slow
Stormclouds of a shaded horizon
Wasted away by Vanishing Slow

Sink back to silence, it's finally gone
Terrified screams of iron lines
The sleepless on seats were blinded alike
I just imagined their gliding lights

Come and go astray
In wonders' stream
Far beyond the trench
Arcane togetherness
Of Ancient Ones
Of Ancient Ones

Into Stormclouds of a shaded horizon
Wasted away by Vanishing Slow
Stormclouds of a shaded horizon
Wasted away by Vanishing Slow
Wasted away by Vanishing Slow



8. Fever Riser

Why am I going round and round?
Grant me a pond to calm it down
Shivering shudders, we meet again
Relieve the therm of thirty nine

Waving on my mind
Waving on my mind
Fever riser blanket strings are conquering me infinitely
And it seems I've lost the fight

I shut my eyes and raise in flight
A bitter fragrance welcomes the Cold
Am I really shrinking, where are my senses?
For an instance the world appears in bold

Waving on my mind
Waving on my mind
Fever riser blanket strings are conquering me infinitely

Behold the final aim
Defeat those burning flames
Mercury is towering so high
A waterfall to enter
Shall ease the heat inside
A waterfall to enter
It seems I've lost the fight

Waving on my mind
Waving on my mind
Fever riser blanket strings
It seems I've lost the fight
Waving on my mind
Waving on my mind
Fever riser blanket strings
It seems I've lost the fight



9. The Paintress

On a ladder up to the firmament
She's nearing the top
Balancing over us below
Again she's out of stock

Reach the clouds, into the fog
An offering they bleed
Heavens mining paint
For her fantasies

She gathers up the mist
She's opening our skies
Her fate is to draw the missing beat of hearts

In a chamber full of stillborn ones
She paints them in dismay
I force myself to believe
They're just slumbering

Too horrid for my tenderness
Too horrid I can't take
A hundred drying ashen faces
Using only grey

She gathers up the mist
She's opening our skies
Her fate is to draw the missing beat of hearts
She's the paintress
She's the paintress

She's the paintress
She gathers up the mist
She's opening our skies
She's the paintress
Her fate is to draw the missing beat of hearts, o-o-oh...
She gathers up the mist, she's opening our skies
Her fate is to draw the missing beat of hearts
She gathers up the mist, she's opening our skies
Her fate is to draw the missing beat of hearts



10. See Me Out

To the land of frost on a drifting flake of ice
With shattered heart and seeming smiles
Can't stop the meltdown, escape on hurtling waves
Can't hold the Spring back, weeping carbon tears

'See me out' he told
Alone you shall retrace
See me out, I step on the Winterway
'See me out' he told
Alone you shall retrace
See me out, I step on the Winterway

I step on the Winterway

Don't let the searing Sun kill me drop by drop
Where to hide anymore? (anymore)
To the river, to the roaring flood
Instead of holdin' on
Vacated just as he lied at us
So proudly he's gone

'See me out' he told
Alone you shall retrace
See me out, I step on the Winterway
'See me out' he told
Alone you shall retrace
See me out, I step on the Winterway



11. Sempiternal

Oh I'm starving for a sleep sempiternal
Narcotize me in the way I mean now

And when every single turn of highway Eighty Five's
Behind my feet, on my own I arrived
To the building where I've been
It's abandoned and empty as always
in summertime. But where's the key
It's registered as usual for my stay
Opening a room, all door's the same
Majestic Place of Saturday

Oh I'm starving for a sleep sempiternal
Narcotize me in the way I mean now
Sleep sempiternal

Take the list eventually, check it over once again
Clear conscience, fragrant lilies stand in line
In perfect order, a full chamber
I won't rest in peace without
They're on the wane, a pillow calls my name
A final yawn to celebrate
Calm and still I'll be
To lay down on Nothing, oh... dreams are for the living

Sleep sempiternal
Sleep sempiternal

Oh I'm starving for a sleep sempiternal
Narcotize me in the way I mean now
Sleep sempiternal
Sleep sempiternal



12. Passage to the Vain

Behold the walls went way too cold
No one stayed, this castle's filled with pains untold
Behold the footprints of the stray
Followin' an astral sign led him to betray

Passage to the Vain

Broken out of nowhere
A mystic only one
A leader through the icefield
Shining up in the sky

When no strength left to march
It descended to make him warm
Was it a guardian angel
Or a demon born to harm?

Towards the Mist, no horizon apperars
To keep on goin', it's insane
Whereabout now? They're so far
On a Passage to the Vain

It was a tale I heard
'n after all I see
Whispering of that night
Been true, came real

Passage to the Vain
