A feeling like a wailing siren
Luring me with its uncanny gleam
But with every try to catch the light
It fades away, evaporates!
What is left?
A glimpse of the glory
A transparent halo in visible crystals
Dust in the wind
An answer looms beyond the thought
Unthinkable but realized
In a mindless blink of a lidless eye
The blindness binds the wise
With hands to hold unbearable desire
Inflicting wounds thet do not bleed
Process of healing neverending
Disease hungers those who feed
How can I comprehend this?
What will I understand?
Without a guiding line defined
Eyes wide blind
An answer looms beyond the thought
Unthinkable but realized
In a mindless blink of a lidless eye
The blindness binds the wise
Seeking what's hidden behind the truth
Unthinkable but realized
In a mindless blink I am the wanderer of eternal roads
Conform to the law of now
To find the missing pIAce
Become the path you walk on
To fulfill the PromethIA

Nouse luontoni lovesta
Haon alta haltiani
Kiven alta auttajani
Pue päälle palava paita
Nouse luontoni lovesta
Railohosta ruhtinaani
Sotisia sortamahan
Vastuksia voittamahan
Nouse luontoni lovesta
Kalliosta kuninkaani
Merehestä mestarini
Kuin nousee jumalan ilma
Rise from the womb of the Earth
Surge through the raging Waters
Out of the pyre of blazing Fire
Ascend like the Wind of god
We have the power
We have the force
Flowing through our hands
Occulting from our heads
IA!
IA!
IA!
The torrent of primogenic force
Boils and coils up the spine
Flesh resonates with the divine
Waiting to burst through the mind
The Serpent with seven curves
Now instilling power into the crown
Asks you
Will you fly with the spiral god of the sky?
Nouse
Nouse
Nouse
Nouse
Nouse
Nouse
Nouse
Nouse
Nouse
Nouse
Nouse
IA
With opening of the gates
Rivers of life rush into your veins
Empowering aura all around
May the Power flow unbound
We have the power
We have the force
Flowing through our hands
Occulting from our heads
We have the power
We have the force
Flowing through our hands
Occulting from our heads
IA!
IA!
IA!
IA! IA!

Behold the faces of yourself unveil
The haunting waves of your past emerging
The bald eagle will not fly until lovers collide
Sickness in you bursting out, purify
Serpents
Trying to lead you away from your pain
Revealing
Wounds that never see the light of day
Give in!
Confront the darkness of your spirit!
In the end one question chokes the stream of life
Who’s the one who perceives you?
Who’s to find inside?
Into the river you must dive
To expose the lie
And when you make it to the end
You’ll know
You’ll die
Serpents
Trying to lead you away from your pain
Revealing
Wounds that never see the light of day
Just give in!
Confront the darkness of your spirit!

Azatua
Climb down from the trees
Azatua
Rid us of disease
The sickness grows strong in this one
Its roots reaching deep beneath the feet of our souls
Vines penetrating the core of the bones
Drones in the head in unbearable tones
But where does it stem from
Where is this rotting spirit pest from
Have you been cursed by the visions of the night
Given a blight by a witch of evil might
Curse her who conceived with the northern wind!
Deep in the forest there lives a spirit
Which holds the power to heal any wound
Out of the burrow, the womb of the Mother, I ask you to rise!
And bring your brother, the fiery brother from the black hut of Tuoni
To swallow the fire, to blaze away the evil!
I have the claw of a bear
Gaze that has set ablaze the fears of a thousand men
Roar louder than a thunderstorm
Sworn to dispel the demonborn
I tear and rend, I rip and wrench
I evulse and wrest, I expulse the pest
A writhing mass of spiritual chaos in these hands
Fangs of the fire, vaporize the bane!
Praised be the name of AZA -TUA!
You will never flee alive!
Curse her who conceived with the northern wind!
Far from the depths of the well hidden tracks
I must fetch the stolen fragment of soul
Guide me Shadows of the Great Spirit in these trails of the dead!
And thus the raven speaks:
“Down, deep, you must dive beneath
You must rise through the twilight
And reach behind the skyline of your mind”
Know that the end of the world as you know it
Is but an edge of another one
Only those who’ve left all behind
Can cross the line
Now follow the sun!
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down...
Through the smallest of holes until a cold shiver runs up and down the spine
Beyond the gates of burning light, past the long road bristling with knives
And when you reach the roots of time as dead be disguised
‘Cos In order to cross the dark waters one can not show any signs of life
A second of this air
A lifetime of constant despair
Unnatural footmarks on the ground
Uncanny howling of hounds
An old woman approaches me
But I’m halted by the spirit guides
"Never reveal your real name
Under strange chthonian skies"
Pulsating drowsiness calling me
To rest in the bed of burning steam
Sinking down into the streams
Of the everlasting dreams
A conspicuous being among the dead
Clinging onto the last drip of consciousness
I inhale what I've come for
And slither towards the light
A blow of life
Reborn in white
Yet darkness throws
A shade on the soul

I used to have insignificant dreams
But once they lead me to fell a tree
As it fell, out from its roots came a man
He told me
Well my friend I’m a man,
who came out from the roots of a tree,
Whence since the times of old
Have been growing the masters of disease
All you ever need to know
Is here within this hole
Take my hand and I’ll take you down
Through the ground
Through the spirits of the Seven Earths
Men will lose their minds
Some will just start to sing,
others run away and die,
But those, who meet the Spirit of Madness
Will begin to shamanize
Making magic for the insane
Bewitching the deranged
He took me far beyond the borders of strange
And teased me with his questions weird
The answer will speak in the silence,
If your fate’s to fall into trance
Through the spirits of the Seven Earths
Men will lose their minds
Some will just start to sing,
others run away and die,
But those, who meet ME, the Spirit of Madness
Will begin to shamanize
Making magic for the insane
Bewitching the deranged

Death, the birthmark of the chosen one
Imminent, soon to be actualized
A formality of an initiation
Of an indispensable vocation
I’m between two flames
One to burn, one to illuminate
Resisting this divine election
Would only lead to suffering
By my will
I choose death
The Black Shadow
Comes into me
I look into the eyes of pure fear
Only to see my reflection
9000 sons of pestilence
Eating me alive
Tearing me up with voracious greed
Until the core is revealed
Thrice I’m skeletonized
Reincorporealized
As the Cosmic Smith reforges me
Bones reinforced with Iron
Sealing my bond between the worlds
By my will
I choose death
The Black Shadow
Comes into me
I look into the eyes of pure fear
Only to see my reflection
Standing in suspension
On a bridge between the Worlds
The Shades are crying for me to return
Those are the ghosts that should be forgotten
