Dimmu Borgir The Night Masquerade Lyrics

A scarlet sunset to nightplay
A sinful oath is to be sworn
A beckoning bloodlust
among the seekers
Tyrannic hunger yearns

A gathering in flames and fires -
Devil? s daughters dance
Scourged in filth, obscene and lewd -
Longing for dark desires

The nocturnal beast appears
in an evil despotic shape
Expectant watching gracelessly
before demanding the sluts of lust
(the beast:)
"Rise and give praise in front of Me
and receive eternal life from Me!
Welcome my spirit in honor of Me!
So drink of the blood I provide you
and you shall all forever wander in
the shadows of death ...!"

(the chanting whores:)
"Oh yes, Master! Let us receive
Thine offer and drink with Thee!
And become a part of Thy realm
with lust, sex and sodomy -
for we are those who seek life eternally ...!

(the beast:)
"Blood is life and it shall be all ours!" 7. ENTRANCE

Soul(s) on departure six six six
onward unto another existence
A trip far beyond all pleasant dreams
A voyage through desolation sights

Inner transformation
Subconscious flight
In the glance fields of fires
In the distance meadows of mists
Where minds being enshrouded in complete night
The fading of love, life and light

Wandering an endless journey
Dead within a trance
Entering a lost dominion soulless and free
Visiting a foreign place but yet so known
Another dimension opens for me to see
Heaven sure ain? t made for me to be

Soul(s) on arrival six six six
one short step from unhallowed ground
The ground of A Kingdom Come
Dead spirits communion
Unorthodox profane world

Gardens, temples, palaces
I have seen them all
In search for insanity, sanity slowly drowns - In trance
