Emperor Thus Spake The Nightspirit Lyrics

(Words, music & arrangements: Ihsahn)
                        Close your eyes
                     And gaze into this realm
                         That I reveal
                  See where eternities are born
                          Close your eyes
               Behold the powers of the broken seal
                   See the liars bound in thorns
                              Fear
                        And you shall fall
                      Weakness suffocates you
                              Dare
                         Yet never fail
                       Wisdom guide the one
                     The strong who can defy
                             Death
                          SO I SPEAK
                      THOUGH, AM I HEARD...?
            WASTING VISIONS ON A WORLD OF BLINDED FOOLS
                          Still I scorn
                   The vacant conradiction of life
                        If only to bewilder
                 The final truth shall speak my name
                     Thus spake the nightspirit
                           Nightspirit
                             Spirit
                          Embrace my soul
