Ihsahn - Emancipation Lyrics
The open air
Atop this mountain
Welcomes my hungered voice
Yet - in the echoes
Of my indulgence
I hear a calling from below
Silent cries
To my solitude profound
In too deep
There is no return
For the soul unbound
...
Machine Head - Beyond The Pale Lyrics
I am skin and bones, broken stones
See the scars that I show
I live outside the bounds
In the unknown
I can't ingratiate to the hate
'Cause their world suffocates
Carve my own path and form my destiny's shape
This storm won&...
Ihsahn - Rec Lyrics
A long day
A can of worms
Way past the expiry date
The healing has come too far
Think and scream
Simultaneously...
Fire From The Gods - Excuse Me Lyrics
Look what I've found, come get down
It's that revolution sound
Call it second emancipation, break these chains and let me out
It's not violence I'm on about, but riot boots still hit the ground
Lower the gun put down the...
Ihsahn - Sub Ater Lyrics
Crushed between the teeth
Of a drunken poet's smile
He retches the blood
To slight amusement
And laughs with a limp
Along his guilt-ridden path...

Ihsahn - Catharsis Lyrics
To drain the blood
From his face
This black stinking oil
And scorch the prints
Of everything
On these cold hands
To [...] the dead
From the jaws
Of this treacherous call
Ashes of the earth
And the mouth
To [...]

Ihsahn - Pulse Lyrics
I don't know what I fear
The most
What I am
Or what I'm not
Too proud
Too ashamed
Incompatible
With myself
Cold, invincible
Siamese twin
By every dawn
New nights begin
The chemistry
Of the fallen soul
T...
Jamie Webster - Common People Lyrics
Woah Woah Woahhh
The morning rain don't wash away
I'll dry yer bloodshot eyes
As we make our way to part of life that we despise
Have you ever seen the sign
Of bedtime faces that don't say goodnight
Woah Woah Woahhh...
Ihsahn - Homecoming Lyrics
I have tried so hard
To regain my faith
In man
Yet, I fail again
To uphold this
Deception
His collective truths
Are far too salt
I return instead
To the Heart and Self
And say:
"Unutterable and nameless
Is th...
Ihsahn - NaCl Lyrics
Perhaps the fight is over
The bloodstains surely indicate a major loss
Who knows what swollen idiot stumbled out of this arena with an oversized belt
Or maybe I'm the bigger fool who nurture every fight and every loss
Keeping t...
Ihsahn - See Lyrics
The eyes
Secretly disappear
Like escaped prisoners
Through a forest
Held under water
In the night
The eyes
Secretly disappear in the night...
Ihsahn - Regen Lyrics
More like a gesture
Acknowledging the coldness
Of its touch
I pull myself closer
Around the neek
As to contain myself
From disappearing
In the flux
And the heavens roll violently
Over golden waves
And rust-red hands
Dr...
Ihsahn - Monolith Lyrics
It was never
The icy winds of the heights
But the coldness of the world
That hardened my foundation
Whether your approach
Is that of praise or blasphemy
The construction of my being
Will remain the same
If my soaring p...
Metallica - Lux Aeterna Lyrics
Anticipation
In domination
A sea of hearts beat as one, unified
Magnification
All generations
Approaching thunder awaiting the light
Full speed or nothing
Full speed or nothing

Ihsahn - Hiber Lyrics
Upon the edge of winter's chasm
The seeds of evil flowers grow
And a sleeping giant curls below
In fever burning nightmare spasms
I rest upon this trembling ground
And in my bones they resonate
And thus, alike, we lie in wa...
Ihsahn - After Lyrics
Like clandestine
Dreamsborn sheep
Winter occupy the plains
And this is the after, the ending events
Ghosts through deathclouds
Swarm the heavens
Like swarming vultures
And this is the after
The ending events

Ihsahn - A Grave Inversed Lyrics
Sandstorm
Breach of burning skies
Unyielding tempest of eternity and timeline

Sacred heart of frozen soil
Unholy

Ihsahn - Recollection Lyrics
The play for years of speed
Killers, romantic dreams
Oh misanthrophy
The play memories
Killers, romantic dreams
Oh the misanthrophe
Deep down the shame
Knowing day will only lie
Fabricated lullaby
But now it seems that all...
Ihsahn - On The Shores Lyrics
Just like secrets, twisted alibis, for empty graves
Unlike manors, cut and burned, a thousand times
Not like ours, coiled in coffins, weeping echoes
Weeping echoes
Not by statues, golden monuments, war houses of worship
Unli...

Black silhouette upon a darkened azure scenery
Cold hand receives this battered stone
This battered stone...
Twilight caress the windswept features
Unyielding shadow blacker still
Its shadow blacker still

Ihsahn - My Heart Is Of The North Lyrics
I have felt the hunger
The restless howling call
To lift my gaze across the seas
And seek out foreign shores
Yet, for all riches
They may bring forth
The undeniable remains
My heart is of the North
Beyond horizons

Ihsahn - The Grave Lyrics
He hammers the earth with a shovel
Anger thunders with every strike
Inside his skull
A funeral
A cold-blooded murder
He hammers the earth with a shovel
Yet, his grave was empty from the start
Someone or something
To forget

Ihsahn - The Barren Lands Lyrics
These are barren lands
Austere and cold
Desert night
Of frozen time
Endless fields of ragged earth
Has lost is trail
The blood of war
Cold lair
Howling winds of sand

A hall of mirrors multiplying
Grotesque features of a golden idol
Melting fast in the fires of confession
And the shame feeds the anger feeds the shame

Ihsahn - And He Shall Walk In Empty Places Lyrics
Of all rejected creatures unloved
Of all who defy the predestination
That divides mankind
Into the saved and damned
He was the first
The lurking punishment
With blood he did reveal
Death
And trough the ages run
A river ...
Ihsahn - Tacit Lyrics
Magnetic emptiness
Drew me into cathedrals of silence
Only to see them collapse and fall
Like promises on the frozen ground
And as the dust settled
My hands reached out to ash clouds and ruins
Eagerly, like onto strings
To fee...
Ihsahn - Arcana Imperii Lyrics
There was always a presence
In the tantalizing shadows of your dreams
An enigmatic whisper
Resonating though your very being
And now you have come too far
The paths you followed here are gone
This is the black, this is the ni...
Ihsahn - In Rites Of Passage Lyrics
The room fell still, submerged by time
The chatter drowned in liquid hours
If ever words were obsolete
The vibrant air would speak
There is conduct
Like honour among thieves
There is grace
Within the fearful eyes of thos...
Iced Earth - Equilibrium Lyrics
Inject and suppress the human feeling
Love, hate, and sorrow leads us to eradication
Mankind survives, to see another lifetime
What is the final price our people will be paying'
Our lives so colorless and ruled with false devoti...
Ihsahn - The Eagle And The Snake Lyrics
I crawl through mud and secrecy
To reach the edge of sanity
And fall... through cleansing air
Clashing down into the sea
We - between the eagle and the snake
Beyond what is real and what is fake
Between the eagle and the snake

Ihsahn - Crooked Red Line Lyrics
Stranded at the borders of perception
Onto a blackened heaven, washed ashore
In voluntary exile from deception
A peaceful mind, alas, a heart at war
A solitary voyager upon uncharted land
Left beaten on the rock, nowhere to go

Ihsahn - In The Vaults Lyrics
Screaming
Into a void of disbelief
Bleeding slowly
The victim of a narcissistic blow
Life can be so unforgiving
Yet, what is there really to forgive?
All you really have to do is...
Longing for the hopeless
Loosing all...
Ihsahn - Called By The Fire Lyrics
The sky is clouded and grey like a mirror
Dreams of celestial bliss buried deep
An invisible web of whispers
Spread out over dead-end streets
Silently blessing the virtue of sleep
I'm still
Called by the fire
My spirit...
Ihsahn - Threnody Lyrics
He lies quiet now
In the nothing
And there is no epitaph
No stone
Yet - his legacy flows
Like a river
Walker of barren paths
Seer of night
Friend of shadows
A carrier of light
And his legacy flows
Like a river...
Ihsahn - Alchemist Lyrics
Again I find myself in this narrow chamber
And my kettle simmers with the same old brew
Now turning sour
There must be more to this than chemistry
As my soul burns with fever
Instinctively I do repeat the simple formula

Ihsahn - Until I Too Dissolve Lyrics
The early hours
Of this late autumn dawn
All ready taste of winter
Cold mist rise
From blinding waters
Gracefully into the light
And I can choose to watch
Absorb this careless beauty

Ihsahn - Mass Darkness Lyrics
In a world of haunting mirrors
Your eyes should have been closed
Instead you lost your shadow
To become, like them, a ghost
Immersed within a mist of death
You withered in the light
And left your disillusioned soul
To tremb...

Here the days of slumber end
I beckon the night to live and overcome the fear
Come sin, come shame congregation of contempt
