(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 fearâ¦
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 misanthropyâ¦
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 freeâ¦
In this darkness lies the key.
In darkness lies my keyâ¦!
