Lyrics
[Originally released in 1997 on the album "anthems to the welkin at dusk".]
[Lyrics: ihsahn.] [Music: ihsahn & samoth.] [Arrangements: samoth & ihsahn.] [6:09]
Memories of torment strikes me Attemps were made to suffocate me at birth Fools, I was already ancient Thou can not kill what breeds within thee
Alas, this agony, the emptiness of earthborn pride Hath stirred my faithful heart which guided me to darker paths Far away from their pestilent ways Cleansed was I from deceitful grace
Yet, put to scorn was i By those unclean Enslaved by ignorance They blindly spat upon The deity of hate Awake is the darkest fiend
By the fallen one I shall arise
Upon bewildered masses To whom the indulgence of my soul portray as sin made god I shall revile and quell the source Whence mockery of my kind derive
This I know: facile shalt my quest not come to pass Deathwish be my gift to all at last
Honour. commended no longer as virtue Yet, shalt be extolled by light's demise
By the fallen one I shall arise
Arise
[Guitar lead.]
Believer Speak not to me of justice For none have I ever seen By god, I shall give as I receive Betrayer Speak not to me at all You and this world Ripped my fucking heart out
Again... again... and again.. Again... and again..
