1.Industrial Twilight
Lyricist:Astennu, Blackheart, Hellhammer, Stian Andre Hinderson, Sverd
United we stand in shared perversion
The love of death, the paradise of Hell
This infinite limbo, like a great black engine
Ultimate abomination, no one here gets out alive
Let the poison arrows fall
Let the pillars of heaven crumble
Martyrs to no one but ourselves
We are the rusted pillars of a better tomorrow
Give me your crippled hand and I'll drag you into evolution
Compassion is obsolete, the answers are no longer true
To many sides to chose from, fascism in masked control forms
Paradise prepare for deconstruction
Welcome to the radiant silos of Atom
Man made misery, the perfect anti life
Divine radiation, the corruption of flesh
Ours is the God of nuclear winter
Synthesized evolution of tomorrow
When we tried to become, the world turned negative
You were the words in my mouth
When I was just trying to save their world
Welcome to the radiant silos of Atom
Man made misery, the perfect anti life
Divine radiation, the corruption of flesh
Ours is the God of nuclear winter
Once I was the carrier of wounds
Featherless and without direction, never a saint nor a Saviour
Relentless in my search for a higher existence
In a nuclear war all men will be cremated equal
2.The Birth Of Tragedy
Lyricist:Astennu, Blackheart, Hellhammer, Nagash, Sverd
He will be there the unhallowed redeemer
The great accuser - the man of the future
Embraced by bitterness and cold compassion
The burning wonder tears heaven apart
There is no salvation
The end is failing no need to remain
This stained procession of religious failure
Is the birth of tragedy
If there's no future
No bright tomorrow
The end is failing
No need to remain
Love was just another reason for hatred
The end is coming -
The world opens wide
There is no salvation
The end is failing no need to remain
This stained procession of religious failure
Is the birth of tragedy
There is no tomorrow
Just end it all today
There is no salvation
No need to remain
Alien Erotica
Colliding black suns
I can't justify your need for worship
Decadence is just a human virtue
There is no need to fight the future
Eternity is just a death away
The world will end in fire
The world will end in fire
The world will end in fire
The world will end in fire
There is no salvation
The end is failing no need to remain
This stained procession of religious failure
Is the birth of tragedy
There is no salvation
There is no salvation
3.Prophecies of Fire
Lyricist:Astennu, Blackheart, Hellhammer, Nagash, Sverd
Born from the blind, delusional mind
Bite the hand that feeds the lie
The garden is severed, burned is the truth
Open your eyes 'cause God hates you
The serpents have the power coiled in illusion
A poisonous gift of beautiful sin
Paint the whore with the ashes of Eden
It's time to face the end of the world
We have flown too close to the sun
But in space even angels can get burned
As death rains down upon them
Cleansing the streets in a cloudburst of blood
Black leather smoke coils up my nostrils
Tingling with death's surprise
It leaks out through the cracks
In the cold asphalt sidewalks of the city of sin
Feast upon the images of molten massacre
As the machineries of death grind relentlessly on
We have flown too close to the sun
But in space even angels can get burned
Lunacy breeds in silent fire
No hope for mankind as the world expire
4.New World Order
Lyricist:Astennu, Blackheart, Hellhammer, Nagash, Sverd
Stand aside for the new world order
Systematic, aristocratic
Don't deceive yourself, get out of the way
We command and you obey
Beautiful to be the joker
Cursed by an all to human future
Things you cannot defeat, you start to believe in
New generations, synthetic nations
I am your loving hate
(This is a new world)
I am your loving hate
(This is a new world)
New world order
New world order
New world order
New world order
Old-school fascism is on the rise
Narcissistic, evangelistic
So many things are only here to be hated
No need for love when the world is sedated
Beautiful to be the joker
Cursed by an all to human future
The world burns with death as a lover
It's systematic for the coming new order
I am your loving hate
(This is a new world)
I am your loving hate
(This is a new world)
New world order
New world order
New world order
New world order
Worldwide genocide
Mass religious suicide
Immoral seduction
Digital corruption
I am your loving hate
(This is a new world)
I am your loving hate
(This is a new world)
New world order
New world order
New world order
New world order
5.Keepers Of The Garden
Lyricist:Astennu, Blackheart, Hellhammer, Nagash, Sverd
In the darkness of space
They suffer in temptation
Dementia creeping closer
But what difference does it make?
Sometimes the best way up is down
And for some moments in life there are no words
The sky is filled with dead stars
There's no escape, there's no return
In a state of terror and confusion
With euphoria as an ambition
Through the doors of perception
We will leave this land behind
(I know, you know, we know)
Wide open space so out of place
We were exiled and we were disgraced
(It's true)
(I know, you know, we know)
Eye at the center, dawn of our race
Edge of the cosmos, heart of all space
(It's true)
(I know, you know, we know)
Wide open space so out of place
We were exiled and we were disgraced
(It's true)
(I know, you know, we know)
Eye at the center, dawn of our race
Edge of the cosmos, heart of all space
(It's true)
The ancient deception, the so-called fall from grace
And Eden was just a place in outer space
The shining ones, the keepers of the garden
The ancient ones, those who came from the sky
I know, you know, we know it's true
I know, you know, we know it's true
(I know, you know, we know)
Wide open space so out of place
We were exiled and we were disgraced
(It's true)
(I know, you know, we know)
Eye at the center, dawn of our race
Edge of the cosmos, heart of all space
(It's true)
(I know, you know, we know)
Wide open space so out of place
We were exiled and we were disgraced
(It's true)
(I know, you know, we know)
Eye at the center, dawn of our race
Edge of the cosmos, heart of all space
(It's true)
6.Hollow Earth
Lyricist:Astennu, Blackheart, Hellhammer, Nagash, Sverd
Dead center in the middle of nowhere
Coma existence surrounded by the living dead
There is no hope, there is no tomorrow
You took our world and you bled it dry
These are the last days of planet earth
(And) we will be there when they realize the truth
We're spinning around on our way to hell
We can never get off this carousel
These are the last days of planet earth
Victims of a defective genepool
Soulless existence forever in pointless directions
Out of tune with true evolution
There are no answers, there is no solution
These are the last days of planet earth
(And) we will be there when they realize the truth
We're spinning around on our way to hell
We can never get off this carousel
These are the last days of planet earth
'The heart of a mystery is seen through imagination
But obscured by our inability to control chaos '
We're spinning around on our way to hell
We can never get off this carousel
These are the last days of planet earth
We're spinning around on our way to hell
We can never get off this carousel
These are the last days of planet earth
7.Planet Of The Apes
Lyricist:Astennu, Blackheart, Hellhammer, Nagash, Sverd
Man turns animal
Too many lies breeds too many flies
It's evolution through confusion
Hate is never without reason
Love is never without treason
Monkey see and monkey do
Evolution was never true
Of all the lies they feed to you
What you see is what you do
Monkey me and monkey you
Planet of the apes
Planet of the apes
Planet of the apes
Planet of the apes
Godly parasites in massive invasion
Deformed creation, unnatural Invention
Procreate then desecrate, inseminate then devastate
No hope for humanity, it's a planet of apes
Monkey see and monkey do
Evolution was never true
Of all the lies they feed to you
What you see is what you do
Monkey me and monkey you
Nothing new ever came out of someone like you
Don't deceive yourself thinking that you know what to do
What will you do when all your toys are broken
What will you say when all your lines are spoken
No hope, no hope, no hope
No hope for humanity, it's a planet of apes
No hope, no hope, no hope
No hope for humanity, it's a planet of apes
Gently violated and desecrated
The quintessential art of self-destruction
You left behind the will to believe in nothing
You're never gonna be what you wanna be
Monkey see and monkey do
Evolution was never true
Of all the lies they feed to you
What you see is what you do
Monkey me and monkey you
Monkey see and monkey do
Evolution was never true
Of all the lies they feed to you
What you see is what you do
Monkey me and monkey you
Planet of the apes
Planet of the apes
Planet of the apes
Planet of the apes
8.Subtopia
Lyricist:Stian Andre Hinderson, Amund Svensson
We are the shattered illusions of a perfect world
We are the symptoms of your deceases
We are your self-imposed arch nemesis
And we are your broken hopes and dreams
We are the people of subtopia
And we make no sound underneath the ground
We are the ones you didn't want us to be
Now we're taking over, we're breaking free
We are the bastard creation of radiation
We are your filth, lies and dirt
We are manipulated and fabricated
And we are the toxic children of earth
We are the people of subtopia
And we make no sound underneath the ground
We are the ones you didn't want us to be
Now we're taking over, we're breaking free
We are the people of subtopia
And we make no sound underneath the ground
We are the ones you didn't want us to be
Now we're taking over, we're breaking free
Your chains cannot shackle us
Your light cannot blind us
Your words cannot deafen us
We are what you didn't want us to be
We are the people of subtopia
And we make no sound underneath the ground
We are the ones you didn't want us to be
Now we're taking over, we're breaking free
We are the people of subtopia
And we make no sound underneath the ground
We are the ones you didn't want us to be
Now we're taking over, we're breaking free
9.Via Negativa
Lyricist:Astennu, Blackheart, Hellhammer, Nagash, Sverd
The arrogance of angels, the heresy of Christ
The stupidity of humanity, the skeletons of society
It's time to separate the saints from the sinners
Judgment day is coming, evacuate then renovate
Decades of decadence and aeons of evil
(Decades of decadence and aeons of evil)
Worldwide terror in the shape of a shining star
(Worldwide terror in the shape of a shining star)
From the center of damnation to the outskirts of hell
(From the center of damnation to the outskirts of hell)
Redemption only comes with a pair of numbered wings
Proclaimed by a thousand prophets, believed by a million fools
But the day will come when everything falls apart
All it takes is a single act of animal desperation
And what if all the things that we believed in were true
Decades of decadence and aeons of evil
(Decades of decadence and aeons of evil)
Worldwide terror in the shape of a shining star
(Worldwide terror in the shape of a shining star)
From the center of damnation to the outskirts of hell
(From the center of damnation to the outskirts of hell)
Redemption only comes with a pair of numbered wings
In our quest for miracles
We started a war of genitals
Disguised as the bearers of justice
We took your fears a made you a God
Why are you afraid of something you're not even sure exists?
I am the maze of God, I am the true face of fraud
Embrace the pain and I will lead you to another heaven
For who are you to believe in another paradise than mine?
The Infant Prodigy, The Bearer of Light
Without me you would be nothing, nothing at all
The beginning and the end are the same, the circle never ends
And the more things change, the more they stay the same
Decades of decadence and aeons of evil
(Decades of decadence and aeons of evil)
Worldwide terror in the shape of a shining star
(Worldwide terror in the shape of a shining star)
From the center of damnation to the outskirts of hell
(From the center of damnation to the outskirts of hell)
Redemption only comes with a pair of numbered wings
10.Stillborn Universe
Lyricist:Stian Andre Hinderson, Audun Stengel, Amund Svensson
Lost in this place like fragments of another time
I close my eyes and see myself from above
Drifting apart like splinters of scattered glass
But we all have our own reasons to continue
Don't you want it this way?
(I can't go on)
Don't you need it this way?
(I can't go on)
Don't you love it this way?
(I can't go on)
Don't you need it anyway?
I can't come down when you're around
I lose control and hit the ground
Everything must change
And it all remains the same
This is a stillborn universe
We are battered, we are torn
(It pleases me to see you broken)
We're the hate that you adore
(It pleases me to see you broken)
We are hollow, we are bruised
(It pleases me to see you broken)
We are numb and self-abused
(It pleases me to see you broken)
I can't come down when you're around
I lose control and hit the ground
Everything must change
And it all remains the same
This is a stillborn universe
You thought that life would be so wonderful
You thought that all could be so beautiful
You thought that everything would be so simple
You thought that everything would be so perfect
I can't come down when you're around
I lose control and hit the ground
Everything must change
And it all remains the same
This is a stillborn universe
I can't come down when you're around
I lose control and hit the ground
Everything must change
And it all remains the same
This is a stillborn universe
I can't come down
11.Neon
Lyricist:Astennu, Blackheart, Hellhammer, Nagash, Sverd
Bastard proclamations of a dying nation
Social deconstruction through deceit and deception
Hit us with your pointing stick, golden arches crucifix
We will never be like you
Subliminal derangement of the human senses
Corporate illusions of holy intervention
Vulture culture history, television ministry
We will never be like you
Let me be your neon god
We've got brand new illusions for your plastic souls
We're all wired up and ready to go
Because gravity means nothing, now
A man made messiah of concrete and steel
Instant salvation through your TV screen
Let me be your god
Subdue your maker, subdue your maker
I am the giver and I am the taker
Subdue your maker, subdue your maker
All succumb to me
Let me be your neon god
We've got brand new illusions for your plastic souls
We're all wired up and ready to go
Because gravity means nothing, now
A man made messiah of concrete and steel
Instant salvation through your TV screen
Let me be your god
12.Cybertrash
Lyricist:Astennu, Blackheart, Hellhammer, Nagash, Sverd
Superstition, disguised as faith
The fear of death plagues their eyes
Automated animation, a fingerprint personality
Born of desperation
So terrified that you just might disappear when you die
And that there is no difference between right or wrong
Elimination of the modern nation
No need for the excess population
Twisted monuments of human decay
Old death to new beginnings
Remake the world in genocide
Everything they taught you is a lie
Would you die for this?
Fake and fractured, soulless and manufactured
Would you die for this?
Crossbred and numbered, we are cybertrash
Proclaimed by a thousand prophets
Believed by a million fools
It's an endless line of tragedies
What is faith but another word for superstition
On the ruins of the old, free of the moral waste
Perfect and gleaming in the light of the morning star
Would you die for my sins?
Or would you take my life and try to make it yours?
Prove me wrong, but I'll still see it my own way
Would you die for this?
Fake and fractured, soulless and manufactured
Would you die for this?
Crossbred and numbered, we are cybertrash
13.Star by Star
Lyricist:Astennu, Blackheart, Hellhammer, Nagash, Sverd
We were alone and on our own
In the dark between the stars
From the shadows to the pyre
Amidst the chaos, from the stars
Love, life and liberty
Hate, death and captivity
Like a stain of starless darkness
Across the canvas of space
Star by star
Corrupting all of humanity
So much alike are we
When I see you I see me
Star by star
Star by star
Galaxies glitter in the black night sky
Towards progress, towards death
From the stars we have come
And to the stars we will return
The violence of passion
The passion of violence
The perverse impulses
The savage egoism
The wicked presence
The wicked essence
The thing that unites us
The thing that divides us
Star by star
Corrupting all of humanity
So much alike are we
When I see you I see me
Star by star
Star by star
14.Perfect End
Lyricist:Astennu, Blackheart, Hellhammer, Nagash, Sverd
Look at me and tell me what you see
(I fell in love in a perfect end)
I am not what you think I am
(I fell in love in a perfect end)
Too weird to live, too rare to die
(I fell in love in a perfect end)
Haloed in the headlights of death
Is this hell disguised as Heaven?
(I fell in love in a perfect end)
Is this death masquerading as life?
(I fell in love in a perfect end)
So much is said, so little shown
(I fell in love in a perfect end)
I see no reason, I feel no end
This is not a happy ending
This is not a last goodbye
Open your eyes and stop pretending
This is not the perfect end
This is not a new beginning
This is not a last farewell
Open your eyes and stop pretending
This is not the perfect end
Stitched up like a ragged doll
Wrapped around your naked soul
I am what you know as temptation
I am the ancient deception
Stitched up like a ragged doll
Wrapped around your naked soul
I am what you know as temptation
I am the ancient deception
I wish I could leave this world behind
(I fell in love in a perfect end)
I wish I had the will to end it all
(I fell in love in a perfect end)
(Incomprehensible)
(I fell in love in a perfect end)
And things will never be the same again
This is not a happy ending
This is not a last goodbye
Open your eyes and stop pretending
This is not the perfect end
This is not a new beginning
This is not a last farewell
Open your eyes and stop pretending
This is not the perfect end
This is not a happy ending
This is not a last goodbye
Open your eyes and stop pretending
This is not the perfect end
15.Chariots of Thunder
Lyricist:Astennu, Blackheart, Hellhammer, Nagash, Sverd
Like crusades across the infinite, night swallowed light
Cursed were the minions rebellion, An image of the serpents
creation
Reveal and enter the passage, enter into the phantoms fire
Constellation, a unity in chaos the chariots of thunder's
arrival
Sent fragments of my reflection to the void afire
Behold the new breed created in my own image
Brighter these eyes burned with wicked anticipation
As the struggle for the black elements came to an end
A precious mingling of the flesh and alien fire
Held dreaming hands beneath the power to universal creation
Became the utter perfection of total completion
Breathe the untouched majesty of dark emotions
And feel the power, the beauty of domination
Conquering the weavers Utopia, conquering
To see them in such swarms
I wondered if this could be paradise
A seed for the future
The fire of fate and faith set alight
Behold the faithless and his angel
16.Mirrors Paradise
Lyricist:Stian Andre Hinderson, Amund Svensson
Was it everything they told you?
Was it all the things they promised you?
Was it everything they told you?
Was it everything they said it would be?
Strange things move in the corner of my eye
And the sky never looked so white and pretty
Tiny figures crawl upon my sterile flesh
There's a hole in the world, and it keeps getting bigger
Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it all the things you prayed for?
Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it everything you though it would be?
How can you love it
How can you believe it
How can you need it
When there's nothing there?
In space where the stars are dead now
The man in the moon still has a wicked face
But the more you reach for the heavens above
The more you'll hate your own pityful love
Like a river flowing around me mirrors paradise
Pulling me in its wake mirrors paradise
How can you love it
How can you believe it
How can you need it
When there's nothing there?
I want to show you something so much better
I'll make the world seem a little bit deader
You smile but it's all despair
You love but there's nothing there
Like a river flowing around me mirrors paradise
Pulling me in its wake mirrors paradise
17.Mirror's Paradise
Lyricist:Stian Andre Hinderson, Amund Svensson
Was it everything they told you?
Was it all the things they promised you?
Was it everything they told you?

There's a hole in the world and it keeps getting bigger
Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it all the things you prayed for?
Was it everything you hoped for?

How can you love it?
How can you believe it?
How can you need it
When there's nothing there?
In space where the stars are dead now
The man in the moon still has a wicked face
But the more you reach for the heavens above
The more you'll hate your own pitiful love
Like a river flowing around me
Mirror's paradise
Pulling me in it's wake
Mirror's paradise
How can you love it?
How can you believe it?
How can you need it
When there's nothing there?
I want to show you something so much better
I'll make the world seem a little bit deader
You smile but it's all despair
You love but there's nothing there
Like a river flowing around me
Mirror's paradise
Pulling me in it's wake
Mirror's paradise
18.The Human Abstract
Lyricist:Stian Andre Hinderson, Amund Svensson
We shape the future, we rape the world
Fallen icons left to burn
The depiction of a naked deformity
Another long lost tragedy
The man in the moon is looking right at you
With a face of death, he follows the future
While you sleep we destroy our planet
And somewhere in space the dead are smiling
Beautiful disease
The worm is crawling beneath your skin
Beautiful disease
The worm is feeding on your lies within
Disintegration, deterioration
Television, slave generation
Deformation, devastation
Electronic mind mutation
'Lost in your own illusion, sick from your own disease,
You drained the world in your search of knowledge
All questions are answers hidden within their own reality
Open your eyes and the truth shall set you free'
We shape the future, we rape the world
Fallen icons left to burn
The depiction of a naked deformity
Another long lost tragedy
Beautiful disease
The worm is crawling beneath your skin
Beautiful disease
The worm is feeding on your lies within
