Lyrics to Zwielicht [Full Album 2023] by Mental Cruelty

Tracklist: 01. 00:00 Midtvinter 02. 01:43 Obsessis A Daemonio Hell's mighty wrath Speaking in tongues Choirs of the underworld Holy water, silver-plated crucifixes, liturgical garments A cleric dressed in velvet and damask Useless armor in a war against hell With every step, the faith and courage leave his body Useless priest, coward and heretic slaves of Christ De exorcizandis Gods beg, the devil commands Gods beg, the devil commands De exorcizandis Fall into sin Fall into inferno Ego te absolvo In nomine daemonio Tell me thy name and Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil Save your servant who trusts in you, my god Leave me alone Throw your cross into fire Your god means nothing to me Nail your bastard son back on his cross Oh nameless, I command you Bow down to my holy relicts Let her find you, be with me Obey me to the letter Leave me alone Throw your cross into fire Your god means nothing to me Nail your bastard son back on his cross Back on his cross Obsessis a daemonio Fall into sin She opens her mouth split tongues chant glory to the name of satan Mighty ruler of this sinister netherworld Open your ears, hear the gospel The gospel of all the dammed In the end, we will rise Out of the treacherous void He's guiding me Embrace the dark Sheep misguided by the lights He's deep down within me Your allies will burn Darkest spirit clinging on to your soul Fanfares of the deep Silence the angels break rituals Done in the name of the eternal trinity Father, son, holy spirit defamed They will be powerless against this beast Darkest spirit clinging on to your soul Your allies will burn In nomine daemonio 03. 06:51 Forgotten Kings The chained-up body is rotting in a prison Frostbite, skin turning black as it falls from the limbs Ancient gods sentenced for eternity Crooked judge, a thousand years spent in isolation Abandoned and trapped, hidden from the sight of the world Sharpened stones are grinding into the skin The iron mask is pushing rusty spikes into the face Blackened vultures circling, purple blood runs down the chin Crush me, burn me, deliver me from pain A crown of thorns decorating the skull The purple blood runs down the chin Thin air poisoning my curse ridden helpless mind Eternal circle, every day is living hell in this world False idols perishing to the masses Filled up with haughtiness and pride Degenerate and viciousness The cries of pain howled through the hall They get drunken with power, again and again Serve your sentence, shackled to a mountain summit As the sky will break open Kneel before the graveside of forgotten kings Shiver to the power of forgotten kings Of forgotten kings Wine tastes like salty water Bread tastes like rotten flesh As the sun and the moon rise and set Eagles nourish from my guts Pecking their beaks in my flesh A river of blood streaming down the glaciers Hands go numb and fingers lost Never-ending torment Runes are carved into the crumbling stone below my feet Read the words, bite my tongue, spitting blood upon the snow Bow my head, icy hail Please lord take my hand and save my soul Rot in hell As they announce the final judgement Verdict was spoken by the gods Hammer has fallen Embrace Armageddon My hollowed soul died in the face of the holy mother Serve your sentence, shackled to a mountain summit As the sky will break open Kneel before the graveside of forgotten kings Shiver to the power of forgotten kings Of forgotten kings 04. 12:48 Pest Embrace the curse of the black death Fever, dread and bubonic plague See the deceased bodies piled up, covered in swarms of flies They'll be left on the streets, they'll be burned on a pyre Doomed to extinction, villages vanished A scythe will wipe them from the earth in the blink of an eye This dire fate is brought in sailing ships, barrels, crates Remains, thrown into ditches filled up with mud and sewage Caress the cloak, welcome the grim lord, who will sentence you to death Like withered leaves, we will fall down and be carried away in the tempest The gods will send their wrath upon all mankind By their punishment, your limbs will rot off, death fog The fog of dead masses is sweeping through the continent Vomiting sticky blood, no time to catch your breath Tens of millions die and go to waste Gone from all memories Forgotten names crumbling of gravestones Forgotten names They'll be weathered away Black death accursed by the pest Kissed by the breath of the moribund The ferryman is guiding you the way tonight Rest in peace and close your eyes Black death pray for salvation Absolve us blasphemous heretics The ferryman is guiding you the way tonight Rest in peacetime to die Grim reaper writing down, death tolls, filling books Summon the cries of widows These are your last rites Rest in peace Embrace the curse of the pest Crow-faced doctors shaking hands with preachers Last remaining, patron saints of the fallen, cross leaving us Pray for mercy listen closely, no one will answer you Black death accursed by the pest Kissed by the breath of the moribund The ferryman is guiding you the way tonight Rest in peace and close your eyes Black death pray for salvation Absolve us blasphemous heretics The ferryman is guiding you the way tonight Rest in peacetime to die Shadows of the night Cursed to starve outside Shadows of the night Cursed to starve outside Fading out of life Desire to die Shadows of the night Cursed to starve outside Fading out of life Desire to die 05. 18:40 Nordlys Souls rising up to heaven Led by the giants, their torches covering the night sky Eerie voices shouting down tremble up the horizon Wrapping the evening glow in countless shades of sorrow Fearing their light go hide yourself Do not look back Escape nearing disaster that's building up Above the trees Rushing through Shadows of the night covering this dark path Heartbeats to the neck Gasping breath Air from the lungs is stuck in my throat A taste of blood Gazing up Green, red, purple lights flicker across the sky Revealing my trace Dread to enrage the ancient spirits As they will reign according to their almighty wrath Nordlys, hear the sky whistling Draw my wrath upon you They light up the firmament Nordlys shining omen of bane Restless spirits Phantoms will reach down to slice off your head Be afraid Alerting the ghosts for your punishment Never dare to speak Valkyries Attempting to rise again for revenge Behold their war cry Vibrantarcs Shine over the arctic ominously Dance with the moonlight Never dare to whistle wave or sing again Warriors on horseback they'll be gorgeous, deadly, winged and their desire To erase thy hope with their sword of fire Dread to enrage the ancient spirits As they will reign according to their almighty wrath The stars will align for your fate will be decided by the servants of Yggdrasil Nordlys, hear the sky whistling Draw my wrath upon you They light up the firmament Nordlys shining omen of bane Restless spirits Phantoms will reach down to slice off your head Crimson presence Enlight the starry heaven Only answered With whispers by the living Giants fire up their wooden torches Leading the souls of the deceased over the abyss I am fire, bringer of doom I am fire, portent of war I am fire, light up the heaven I am fire, bringer of dawn, son of the moon 06. 24:00 Mortal Shells Oh, mortal shell so easily broken crafted in sadistic design And a tragedy upon us Merciless killer The upbringing they promised to you Was nothing but a Fucking disappointment Now the ashes of nations past fall upon faces of desperation Leaving behind a grey-scaled barren landscape Forsaken the thorns that sting and burn in aged wounds My malenchantment, the pain that bears deathless membrance High burning, feel the renegance churning High blowing, memento ventum aquila metus High burning, feel the tempest churning High blowing, an orcanous final sigh I feel wailing motions of guilt molten to the ego No power that's left for me, eternal prison This earth forsakes me Corrupt the husk I dwell in My wish to conquer this world Got no merit to the ways of fate Caught betwixt the fallen The misery that paved each step My wish to conquer this world Leaks out of every pore of my lifeless self Fear that thrives and fosters formidable fickleness Foreign the concept of empathy Control freak frowned upon My heart, an ever-rusting weapon That penetrates and diminishes The souls around me Shattered into countless fragments Disgustingly raw myself down to the bone I sacrifice my will Down to the bone Down to the bone Oh, mortal shell so easily broken, crafted in sadistic design Crafted in sadistic design My flesh, consumed by the outer god My fucking brain, picked apart by another one That shares its bane The intricacies of man make way for the fundament of my ashen throne This earth forsakes me, corrupts the husk I dwell in My wish to conquer this world Got no merit to the ways of fate Caught betwixt the fallen The misery that paved each step My wish to conquer this world Leaks out of every pore of my lifeless self Ravaged the land lies Bear witness to my deformation My wish to conquer this world Shattered into countless fragments My deformation is your damnation You fucking coward 07. 30:12 Zwielicht Es färbt sich schwarz das Licht der Nacht Ein letzter Strahl mich trifft Mein größter Feind mein eigner Geist Schatten im Haupt ein Gift Ein Schleier dicht sich um mich hüllt Es Odem und Kraft mir raubt Harter Boden elend weich Mein Licht es nun ertaubt Es färbt sich schwarz das Licht der Nacht Ein letzter Strahl mich trifft Mein größter Feind mein eigner Geist Schatten im Haupt ein Gift Ein Schleier dicht sich um mich hüllt Es Odem und Kraft mir raubt Harter Boden elend weich Mein Lichtes nun ertaubt 08. 31:45 Symphony Of A Dying Star Nature is sleeping, buried under ice Listen to the winter forest, can't you hear there's no life Like a symphony, to all those fallen stars Cheerful the voices, echoes in the past As I wander the pathway, to the frozen sky I can't see my footsteps, have I already died The sun made me blind Vision starts fooling me I am drifting away Imprisoned in this endless dismay Everything that once shined bright Is covered in the sand of time No leaves left on the tree of life No destination will I still arrive Frostbite burns I just realized there is no turning back No feelings, no hope and no fear My mind is driven to a point of insanity Everything means nothing in this fog of equilibrium Take me to the other side Where cold is warm and all dead alive I see myself lying on the cold forest floor Be one with nature and will be no more Into the night, I fly away I spread my wings and fade away My mortal being left behind As stars align in crimson skies Everything that once shined bright Is covered in the sand of time No leaves left on the tree of life No destination will I still arrive Everything that once shined bright Is covered in the sand of time No leaves left on the tree of life Ascend from hell to paradise 09. 35:56 The Arrogance Of Agony The glance of death as I look into the mirror The faceless staring back at me can't recognize this person This is something that I used to be Remaining pain clings to my weakened mind Leave me in peace I can't take this anguish anymore Trapped in this place damned to live, blessed to die Staring away, there is a savor in the eyes of the dead, the dead The arrogance of agony Why should I try to win this fight when there is nothing left for me The arrogance of agony Drown in despair until you take your final breath Devotion to destructive habits, lead my way Adorned with the filth of a traitor Wash it all away as I have never lived Shattering are the screams of redemption Redeeming is the feeling of my deaf ears Ignite the flames for a barren earth As if it wasn't hard enough, my life devoted to a search But I can't find this sacred place my daemons are with me Keep on walking through the night Haunted by a shadow, a likeness of myself My demise has come to take hold of me The remains of my past collapse to my feet The glance of death as I look into the mirror The faceless staring back at me can't recognize this person This is something that I used to be Is this a life worth living, or will I fall into this grief Pain release me, when judgement day has come, they will set me free Devotion to destructive habits lead my way Adorned with the filth of a traitor Wash it all away as I have never lived Shattering are the screams of redemption Redeeming is the feeling of my deaf ears Ignite the flames for a barren earth The arrogance of agony Why should I try to win this fight when there is nothing left for me The arrogance of agony Drown in despair, now it is gone my will of life 10. 41:19 A Tale Of Salt And Light Blessed are the ones who walk the salty desert Blessed are the ones who conquer their fear in the ocean Every second I battle the current Swim against the whim of nature Hunters of the deep circle of my path Hopes washed away by the pull of the tide Sentenced to drown by the will of the moon We are the salt of the earth, scattered to the soil Everything we touch will be withered and pale With every step I take and every mile I swim in this ether of pain I distance myself from this salvific oasis Unknown realms they shine so bright Never seen by the mortal eyes Deprived, the faculty of sight My body, my ache, washed up at the cost Stranded between sand, seaweed and shells My corpse will lie there to be bleached in the sun My body, my ache, washed up at the cost Stranded between sand, seaweed and shells Serve as memorial of salt and light I pray every night to calm down the gods I beg the stars to my pleas they remain deaf Behold the clouds as they gather into a storm Hell breaks loose as they disparage my sorrow Dragged under the surface by the mighty grip of disbelief Pulled down to the abyss of dissidence The silty grounds and oceanic trenches my last resting place Doubt crossing my Path like a sword drawn and slicing through my chest my lungs are filled with blood Gaze over the surface the ripple will be raged, the waves show no mercy Letting myself sink and soon I will descend into defeat I am the light of this cruel world Doctrine, abolish thy fate Conquer thy fear Gather your strength Blessed are the ones who walk the salty desert Blessed are the ones who will fight the sea My body, my ache, washed up at the cost Stranded between sand, seaweed and shells My corpse will lie there to be bleached in the sun My body, my ache, washed up at the cost Stranded between sand, seaweed and shells Serve as memorial of salt and light The world is fading I let myself go and float in the drift of time bed me to sleep As I dive into deep I serve as memorial of salt and light This sunken palace will serve as a shelter for my disgrace I'll rest below, for this sea will form a blanket for my desperation The world is fading before my eyes The vastness of the ocean has found a prey in me Serve as memorial of salt and light
