Lyrics to At The Heart Of Winter [Full Album 1999] by Immortal

Tracklist: 01. Black Future Energetic pulse rippling out from our world An undead galactic master sleeps within a subspatial realm Dark waves traverse the astral plane, the demonoid awakes Nebular projections pierce the fabric of space The anti-being breaks through Black Future All at once the sky went black, a single earth beat heart attack Awakened giant in the sky, through the black, huge glowing eyes A purple glow which stilled the air, stranglehold in the demon's glare The hungry darkness in our mind's is the toxic substance on which it thrives Black Future World destroyer Time accelerates with the advent of a monolithic shadow On this world that we call home, within our minds its thoughts grow Entering into our brains, eaten alive but we still feel safe Never exposed to the light, seething global parasite Black Future 02. Oblivion Spiraling into oblivion, mindless thoughts scream my silent cries A shroud of blood and body parts are my demise Shapeless moments crack my memories, a broken mirror inside my mind The end has come, now time is empty Souls rip through the skin into oblivion Reborn into nothingness Sucked through the veins of the universe flows the essence of existence Time cluttering, moment shattering, voidless persistence Aimless gazes stab through my eyes while they set their sights asunder Lightning strikes upon me when all I've known is thunder Souls rip through the skin into oblivion Reborn into nothingness On and on through eternity, pathways through the galaxies We were, we are, will we be? Will our cries be heard, or echo endlessly? Souls rip through the skin into oblivion Reborn into nothingness 03. Destroying The Cosmos Waves of light shooting through night The void destroyed Eons of terror emerge from the realms to deploy Big bang, life and death collide at infinite reaches Spawned from eternity, we are the creatures of void The cosmos, a flicker of the past The cosmos, infinity at last Arise into the night Invasion of the twilight Doomingly slow, destruction will follow The balance is tipping, evil is falling low A rippling in time as a new dawn unwinds A galactic species takes off and leaves from its confines The cosmos, a flicker of the past The cosmos, infinity at last Arise into the night Invasion of the twilight The time has come, the end is near For anything that is not us 04. Forests Of Legend A shadowed existence veiled in mystery Swallowed by sound from dwellers of the trees A strange world thrives on a floor of decay From rotting death, breaking through the fray… A forest Enter the shadow realm Giants hold claim to the sky and ground Keepers of gloom and great oddities Sustain the ways of the forest keep Ancient kingdoms, creeping lines Split apart by roots of time Voices from inside seem to pull you in Dark wisdom runs on the still, damp wind Glow of the eye, fear the gaze The great ape returns disconnected and changed Ancient kingdoms, creeping lines Split apart by roots of time Twisted land, twisted sky Twisted circuit we call our mind We push our will to change a world Which has a spirit, has a soul Borneo, Amazon Once it goes it is gone The legend is all that remains Of the forests of old and grand domains Legends only arise in the face of difficult times A forest that stands on its own In the truth of a desolate world is where the legend will grow No cover from the sun Carcass fields of fallen ones Biding time, seeds remain Tyrants fall, earth reclaims Ancient kingdoms, creeping lines Split apart by roots of time A strange world thrives on a floor of decay From broken rubble, breaking through the fray… A forest 05. Hunger For Violence Chaos enveloped the social order of humanity After the nuclear fall from man's vanity Weathered faces trudge through empty miles in nomadic hordes A scalding wind grinds the barren desert floor Civilization is thrown into rampancy As the resources continue to dwindle in the fallout breeze Treaties between the wasteland hordes have burned and been defiled A black cloud of contrivance is amassing all the while Spray of blood in the air, bodies fall The only way to survive this upheaval… Hunger for violence I will be the one to force chaos into submission An abandoned nuclear facility has powered my ambition I hold the power that once laid waste to these decaying lands My fission powered warriors are awaiting their command Spray of blood in the air, bodies fall The wars of man continue, consuming all Spray of blood in the air, bodies fall Dominate with death machines, killing all… Hunger for violence Apocalypse survivors hide within a rusting scrap yard The tyrannical artificer looms over the battle charge Hear the crushing sound of skulls lying under tank treads Fear as they rush the grounds Battalions of troops come barreling through Walls of tires and barrels of crude Photoreceptors meet your gaze If you fight you'll die so be a slave Fight… Die! The slaves have now been drafted into recruitment operations Implanted micro detonators ensure cooperation The pawns march side by side with their metallic lifeless captors Blood will cleanse the land as we descend into the final chapter Spray of blood in the air, bodies fall Dominate with death machines, killing all Spray of blood in the air, bodies fall The wars of man continue, consuming all… Hunger for violence 06. Deoxyribonucleic Acid Engineering forms of life, splicing DNA Cut the strand, extract the base What is real can be changed Laboratories experiment with the limits of our will But there are endless ways to justify If we can, we will Products of our mind Abominations Looking from inside Strange creations Science based on temptation to what we can achieve The desire lies within our hearts to fix the human being Cesspool of genes Tainted genetics Our fingers run down the blade Of a double edged helix Journey through the cells Unlock the cell doors Violative manipulation DNA, the ultimate temptation Further do we travel descending the spiral stair case? Reality unravels in the presence of our wake The hand that feeds is ingenuity Progression voices our reprisal Our ransacking gaze grips the shrinking world And what it comes down to is survival They will guarantee future sanctity When the coin is tossed perfection comes at a cost Violative manipulation DNA, the ultimate temptation 07. Asteroid Swirling masses of rock careening through the black An orbit unseen by the distant eyes of man Floating through space, a distant planetoid Collision course, waiting for the moment to destroy Death from above, rocking the world An unharbored menace, chaos unfurls Death from above, block out the sun Survivors will starve until their imminent extinction An unheard countdown commences, even NASA is blind But could they say if they knew Chaos would ensue, facing the truth of their demise Asteroid filling the sky Asteroid reflecting in their wide eyes Asteroid, an eternal moment in time Paralyzed Death from above, rocking the world An unharbored menace, chaos unfurls Death from above, block out the sun Survivors will starve until their imminent extinction The pointless construction of bombs and wars that brought them death The destruction that man has wreaked is unmatched by the impending threat Asteroid filling the sky Asteroid reflecting in their wide eyes Asteroid, an eternal moment in time Paralyzed Mountains and seas arise and fall Crustal flex, the world absolved Frozen winds begin to swirl Putrid clouds of dust and gas engulf the world Massive ejections through the abysmal smog Shaking the fleas off of the dog Hear to see the end of all, apocalyptic wrecking ball A cosmic force to seal our fate, extinction of the human race Burning through the sky with atomic might Laid to rest with your fears on the darkest night 08. Dark Nebula Absorb the radiation into blackness Photo degradation in the depths within Shrouds of creation, cold emptiness The black serpent writhes in the solar wind Conceal the secret knowledge from events before Cloud the peering eye from what lies beyond the door Slumbering in the black cocoon Mistress of the night, a solar moon Into the night, seeker of light Into the day, impermiate Into the sore to find what hurts more Into the unknown to see what we own Watch it unfold out of control Watch it collapse as it contracts Unstoppable force, growing remorse A magnetic field the future will feel The strange ways that we keep face Gravitation holds our place We never seem to change our pace Forward on to win the race Congregation in the cell Manic pulse of thought up-wells Deep within the dark eclipse A growing metamorphosis Trapped inside deception and lies Trapped inside the growing madness in my mind All of the time spent, all of the years All of the moments that led me to this place What will I do now that I am here? I walked inside the black serpent of the sky My eyes were drawn to a sun within the dark nebula The wheel revolves contorting time and space Twisting strings that form the astral plane The dark creature begins the chase Holding the mane of the beast to meet our fate A stark contrasting blob infects our sight Riding further into the night A search to be content with what we are And to look and find a place among the stars Desperately, we arrive anywhere A place we never planned to be 09. Accelerating Universe Lost in time where thoughts are faint echoes My city crumbles A path of destruction ahead of me Tracing the footsteps of insanity I see the ashes of a bridge to gold I sacrifice my empty soul Emptiness crowds the streets I drain my thoughts, I carry on to bleed Dark energy is pulling me My old thoughts unheard, accelerating universe A darkening force, the unfathomed realm reborn Worlds of nothing, chaos forlorn The weak will follow the false cure of souls My weakness pulls me into the black hole Humanity, a blood trail caress I follow it to the unconquered fortress A blinding light made from distraction It burns your eyes out if you get too close Dark energy is pulling me My old thoughts unheard, accelerating universe Obscure flickers in the distance These lights blinked out of existence Dying systems pulled through a void Experimental universe designed to destroy itself Release of energy from our point of origin Will this cycle continue to be again? Or will these stars fade and kill their systems? Will our night sky be solar gravestones? It pulls the thought of change from our minds The only thought unchained in our minds It drains your blood, rips out your soul Your mind is hollow, you are time's black hole Dark energy is pulling me My old thoughts unheard, accelerating universe Minds in a standstill as we walk on this treadmill Our guide through the eons until our star is gone
