Lord Belial - Enter The Moonlight Gate (1997)

In the beginning of all time, when I was born
a shadow crawled all over me
the shadow, shadow of the northern son... which filled me
with darkness and majestic hatred

Join the darkness of the northern son
...Belial

I stared onto the dark prince of evil,
enwrapped in a black gown
a great malignant shape... with a dark voice as cold as ice

My blood froze when I stared onto this prince of evil
...Belial

Nowadays, thousands of years later
I have become one with the darkness
in this mighty kingdom, I obey Belial

He is the lord over all living creatures
He shall rule for eternity
He is the master of masters
...Belial

Once again... these fields I walked for eternity
bloodred snow covered my enemies
eyes of ice staring blind on me.

Once again... the voice calls for me
to come for my reward
- another kingdom to rule.

Once again... I’ll create a new world
and enslave the souls of my enemies
as I’ve done since the birth of time.

...Black Winter Blood-bath!!!

Once again... thousand years has gone
the web of time closes in
I change into a crystallised chrysalis
- my anger chained until he speaks my name again.

Black Winter Blood-bath!!!

Once again... Armageddon comes closer
- total war!
...Black Winter Blood-bath!!!

I... I am bewitched by the pale silver-moon
in the black and ancient skies.
Shadows... I am surrounded by mighty shadows
- I am embraced by the night!

I raise my hands to the black skies
as i see the moonlight through the clouds, it shines on me!
Moonlight... I am surrounded by a silvery moonlight
I am embraced by the night

- embraced by the night!!!

Fire... Burning through my veins
as my life starts to fade,
my soul leaves the earth, through the winds... into the night!
Cold winds of hate begins to storm
now I am chained inside the walls of eternity

I will enter the moonlight gate
I will chant this everlasting night-embracement
I will enter the moonlight gate

- Chaos... a war between darkness and light

I will open up the skies
tear all the angels wings and laugh as they die,
there will rain tears and blood from the heavenly paradise

…We will prevail, in this moon-filled air...
Die!!!!

I am bewitched by the pale silver-moon
in the black and ancient skies
Shadows... I am surrounded by mighty shadows
I am embraced by the night - By the night!
Enter the moonlight gate!!!

Silence...
Black emptiness...
Despair...
Dead I am...
Infinite darkness and dreams...
My journey begins...
Forlorn in silence...

Lamia... you shall come to me
and stand by my side ‘till the end of time
Ooh... welcome to my kingdom shrouded in darkness and hate
come and make me immortal
Lamia... you’re so beautiful,
with your burning face and your body red of blood

Together we shall reign this world
together we shall spread our wings and fly
we will fly over this land and then they will fear us
‘cause they know that they are weaker than us
- and so do we
and therefor they must follow us, or die in eternal pain

- to die in the eternal flames - die

I will proclaim my powers to all living creatures
so come Lamia and join my dark crusade
the dead will rise from their graves when you call for them
- feel your power and join me

Together we shall reign this world
together we shall spread our wings and fly
we will fly over this land and then they will fear us
‘cause they know that they are weaker than us
- and so do we
and therefor they must follow us, or die in the eternal pain
Together we shall spread our wings and fly

In remembrance of the time when I was free - before the day I was born,
I hated my life
I had to die so that I could be free again, free again... aeon!
I had to die so that I could be free again, free again... aeon!
In remembrance of the time when I was free - before the day I was born
I hated my life
I had to die so that I could be free again... aeon

Towards the towers black, to reach my kingdom
towards the towers black, to reach the realms of eternity
I’ve walked a thousand years in an everlasting night
on the path with endless horizons and eternal time.
the path with endless horizons, and eternal time!

With the towers of black by my side
I summoned shadows and spirits, evil and storms
rain and fire, to come forth and take my soul.

A blaze from the black skies took my earthly life!
...Now I am one with the eternity!...

The skies turned to red as the earth started to burn and shiver
the rain that silently poured turned to blood as it reached to the ground
the ground that now was crimson by blood and fire, blood and fire

I gazed into this creation of grimness and evil
as my soul became one with the winds
my eyes turned into stone
and my heart became frozen and black
- the time had come for me to die.
I felt coldness and pain, yet I was rejoiced by death
...I now was freed!!!

In the shadow-side of life, in a dark and mystic
midwinter-night
a child was born in ice and frost-like fire
an immortal child, an evil spirit.

Before his birth he walked this earth with hatred
and desires
- desires to crush what he hates
in hell he belongs, like the moon in the sky.

To grant himself what the unknown knows
he submerged underneath his earthly life
- underneath the surface of this earth
into the realm of a thousand burning souls
and questioned the elder demons for their ancient wisdom.

"Oooh, mighty demons... Evil demons... I am worthy...
...speak upon me and grant me your knowledge
so that I can inherit my throne of fire
and reign by your side"

His eyes started to burn, his blood boiled
as a majestic choir spoke upon him; "Your wish is granted"

He screamed in tongues unto the mighty demons, in rejoice and pain.
With the blood of his very own soul
he was baptised in the name of the northern prince of hell,
and of all the unclean spirits.

Immortal he was and demonized he became
the prince of darkness was born
the agitator for the forthcoming humans on earth
onward to the battle against the ones he despises
and hates, his journey now has begun
in heaven this victorious battle will end (evil has won)
another kingdom will rise from the earth -
the kingdom of a thousand burning souls
humans shall kneel in front of me - their master
my word will be their law - enslavement
now the war has begun, tears and blood falls to
the frozen and holy ground
the sounding from the swords and screams of
angels echoes in the war-filled skies
blood and screams - cries and agony

Demons, I summon you
hear my hail come forth and gather here
we have won this battle is won
I spit on their cross
this is my realm with a thousand burning souls
where I shall rule for eternity - it is my destiny!
let the fire of hell touch the sky
"Spawns of damnation let your spirits fly
sons of darkness hold your banner high
you divided and conquered with bejewelled hate
we are the proud ones that crushed the holy gate
we slayed with our swords and our lust
dawn is gone this is the final dusk
burn the angel-wings with the fire of hell
drink their holy blood and cast down a spell
The skies are filled with blood and fire
ooh yes... this is my desire
earth to us, ashes of angels and dust of heaven"

In the shadow-side of life with burning desire
I, Satan’s son, was born in frost-like fire
in darkness I belong like the moon in the sky

Witnessed by the almighty god in heaven
drowned in the holy blood of angels he screamed
in blasphemous voice;
I’ve crushed the heavenly paradise - ha!
Silence surrounded him though he heard some
beautiful moaning
a whispering but yet so clear: "Oooh my god,
why have you abandoned us"
it was the agonised choir of angels that silently
faded away
and god wept!
your god wept!!
your pathetic god wept!!!

Ooh... Lilith, come forth to me
as I blazon these words... Shem Ham Forash
Come forth, I summon thee - come forth
and make the angels perish, ooh Lilith

- They will die crying for their god!

Shem... Ham... Forash
as I blazoned these words of Lilith
the midnight skies opened in front of my eyes
from the aperture in the skies a blaze of evil light was seen
- it was the black light from Lilith
that made the angels perish in pain

In the land with the blackened winds the spirits of the feeble ones will die
abandoned by their weak beliefs, they will die crying for their god
they will die crying for their god
in the land with the blackened winds - they will die

When the angels died blood-red tears fell from the skies
screams of fear echoed in the night - when the angels died
In the land with the blackened winds the spirits of the feeble ones will die
abandoned by their weak beliefs - they will die

From the aperture in the skies a blaze of evil light was seen
- as I blazoned these words, these words of Lilith;
Shem... Ham... Forash
