Lyrics:
Maleficium
Bleak visions
I have cast upon your souls
For a glimpse of your tomorrows all your final bells will toll
Auspicium
Divinations
By fire your fate I have foretold
By blood and dissection your misfortunes will unfold
The deeds of yesterday
Fire and death to you all
I sentence you for eternity
To rot as my enemies
(In rapture you’re falling)
In rapture you are falling
You’re downfalling
(In rapture you’re fading)
Fade away in the mist you’re wading
You are fading
In rapture you are dying
Desecrated on these lands
The fading lands
Oh you’re all dying by my hand
Sortilegium
Equilibrium
In the balance between life and death
I am governing the acts of gods until their final breath
The sins of yesterday
Lunacies crafted in blood
I stood strong
Firm to my loyalty
No flows in the plan conceived
(In rapture you’re falling)
In rapture you are falling
You’re downfalling
(In rapture you’re fading)
Fade away in the mist you’re wading
You are fading
In rapture you are dying
Desecrated on these lands
These snow-white lands
Oh kneel down to my command
In the lair of wolves you took the trail
Where the gloom is dark and the moon is pale
The choices taken
The fate foretold
You blindly followed the runes of old
You forged the hollow trunk of oak
The lair of tragic fates foretold
The runes have spoken and condemned
A red mist thickens on these lands
The deeds of yesterday
Fire and death to you all
I sentence you for eternity
To rot as my enemies
In rapture you’re falling
(In rapture you’re falling)
In rapture you are falling
You’re downfalling
(In rapture you’re fading)
Fade away in the mist you’re wading
You are fading
In rapture you are dying
Desecrated on these lands
The fading lands
Oh you’re all dying by my hand
In the lair of wolves you took the trail
Where the gloom is dark and the moon is pale
The choices taken
The fate foretold
You blindly followed the runes of old
