Fenris ...En Doodenakkers tot den Horizon 1. Echo of the Machine (Intro) 2. Black Ashes I hear it coming through the hollow screams Cutting like a knife through white meat A distant echo of the machine Taking us where no one sees ...kill the disease The noise now takes the best of me How much longer will it last Before a man breaks down, and darkness sets Black ashes on winter snow The smell of death cuts through the cold Steam rises up through blackened skies Within this soul the fire died No mercy shall be cast unto us No future shall be known to me A sacrifice for all to see Black ashes on winter snow Burning away the life and death White steam through the blackened sky The haunting screams of those who died Cutting like a thousand knives Yet pain, no longer thrives The doomed await their gruesome death No one is granted a final breath Through all of time Insanity thrives Through all of time Insanity thrives When men shut their bleeding eyes A vision awakened through melody A sacrifice for all to see 3. Ruined A new dawn is rising... A war is prepared... The storm is commencing, A shadow is spread My wrath has been spoken My will be done Upon these withered coasts, Darkness shall fall From the northern horizons The Northmen will sail In honor of my name His legions prevail! With the full moon to rise So will come the plague Striking at the heart, Until all cries fade By the rising of the new sun Smoke will rise from the tomb What was once a mighty stronghold Shall be nothing but a wound His reigns will fade into the mist that remains Behold, my weak father... Your pride will be crushed... Your own blood against you... Your kingdom in dust Your kingdom in dust! 4. Zielenstrijd Een uitgerukte ziel Hellekou versteend als ijs Vergane tijd van pijn Scherp gemeen als vlijm en zeis Een laatste poging wordt vertrapt Bloed verspilt door dit kwaad Liggend, gebroken en bestolen Uitgestreden door verraad Eenzaam in een land vol broeders Schimmen in een lege duisternis Al het bekende verloren De zoete smaak van het einde Mijn ziel voelt zwart, als de nacht De laatste ademteug Voordat het hart stopt Een stilstaand uurwerk, gebroken Een krachtmeting van ongekende grootte Grimmig, bitter is deze strijd met vele wonden Verzet gaat door ondanks het naderende einde Vechtend ten onder gaan, het hoofd geheven 5. 834 Now, The time is right To take my father's throne And inherit all his might I shall rule the empire And take what is rightfully mine I shall crush the kingdom Casting down the order You are the one Who will be cast out! You shall never rule the Empire And you shall pay for your betrayal By banishment never to return! I will have my vengeance I shall flood his lands with a barbaric plague Torturing the stronghold of his wealth His priests already dead, his women already violated The kingdom shall fall As I command the raging from across The emporium shall pay for his mistakes I'll bring you down You shall bow down to me I'll take your crown An emperor to be From this day for No mercy shall I know To your demise The legions will possess your soul! 6. Fenris Betrayed... by the horned god Enchained... by he who taught My soul entangled Yet never caught Upon this era, my shadow is cast No longer bound by fire Nor shadows from the past Tyr our time has come To rule the worlds together as one Tyr, release your friend The reign of Odin has lost its stand My mouth for centuries... opened by the sword The spirit I possess... will rule... eternally! This wolf will never rest Vengeance will come to them... finally I am Fenris... the quintessence of wolves FENRIS!! My mouth for centuries, opened by the sword This spirit I possess... will rule eternally Now is Ragnarok! 7. Doodenakkers Lijdensweg Vertrapt door Teutoonse laars Diens mars onstuitbaar Zijn komst Een zegen? Verleden kent geen tijd Spijt komt na de zonde En zoekt en vindt niet waar de stand begon.... En zoekt en vindt slechts maskers van gelaten En doodenakkers tot den horizon Deze keer zijt gij Het mikpunt van vervolging Vrees volslagen razernij Verdelging is mijn doel Voorgoed bevrijd In de nacht Huis en haard verbrand Thanatos, collectant des geestes Verloren zoon Wiens bloed vergoot Trouw aan tegenstand Tot in den dood En zoekt en vindt niet waar de stad begon En zoekt en vindt slechts maskers van gelaten En doodenakkers tot den horizon En zoekt en vind niet waar de stad begon En zoekt en vindt slechts maskers van gelaten En doodenakkers tot den horizon 8. Descend Dwelling in the absence of time I detach myself... From a troubled mind Drifting among the seas of stars I searched my soul for the unknown void... As I penetrate Far beyond the dead I roam... Beyond the edge of life Far beyond the edge Reborn... In absence of time Falling in the deepest dark Diving, headfirst Into the endless night My existence is blessed With every move, descending in my mind Far beyond the dead I roam... Beyond the edge of life Far beyond the edge Reborn... In absence of time Afloat between shadows Forseeing what I'll become In my mind a storm rages on (Reaping all life in its form) Becoming death Solely drifting on solarwinds Driven by the heat Flying with broken wings Empytness calls beneath In meaningless of time I challenge the voice in my mind Unable to hear... My cries echo far into the night
