THIS GIFT IS A CURSE LYRICS

1. The Swarm

"Let's burn the corpse of old time…"
This endless parade of processions.
Trapping us in with its unwitting shackles – trapping us in – holding us down.
Keep us detached your womb, holding us still in fucking lines.
I am a pawn, I am a slave, dragging their Cross through a widening moat.
We are at their gates
Let's burn down the hive
Burn down the hive
Burn it down
We'll climb the bell tower to tear "God" from his throne
Into the shadows, down in the gutters

Out from the temples
Out with the old guard
Fear
Fear the silence of growing outsides
We'll be your Darkness, going the "wrong way"
Dragging your heads through torn up streets
We are at their gates
Let's burn down the hive
Burn down the hive
Burn it down
Burn it down
Fill your heart with hell
Fill your mind with hell
Fill your lungs with hell
To fill their world with Our hell…
We'll burn it down
Cause it's no way back.

2. Inferno ad O.

I Can hear them
Coming through my walls
To claim my name and reverse my soul
But I've turned
Into the Black light
To take back everything they stole from me…

Black blood upon the altar.
Black blood of the sweetest fruit.
My Black blood pouring forth.
In Black blood
I'll curse Your name

Into the shadows
Into the mist
When I am lost -
Is when I'm found.

I Can hear Him
Bursting through my heart
To set me free
To release my soul
Oh I've turned
Into the mist
I'll take back all things
They stole form me

I am God
I am New
Rest assure; I'm coming through,
Coming clean in your fire….

Show me your Secret
Lies into gold
I am God
I am new'

(My) Lies into gold
We are hell
We are death
(Right Here)

3. Att hata allt mänskligt liv

Crawl back
Take me back into the mist
Oh, destroy us
Like we destroy you
Oh, bury me
Under the Beneath
Oh, take us back
Away from this time
Oh, destroy us
Like we destroy you
Oh, bury me
Under the Beneath
Oh, take us back
Away from this time
Crawl back
Into the Void…

No one will win, all will lose, in every moment, in every life.
And no one will win, all will lose, in every Time, in every Phase.
And no one will win, all will lose, in every Fault, in every Failure.
And No one will win, all will lose, in every Birth, in every Death.
Oh, destroy us
Like we destroy you
Oh, destroy us…

"Genom stillheten slutgiltig frid. Genom avskildheten – absolut tillintetgörelse. Genom mörkrets tystnad ljusets välsignelse"

4. The Crossing

How long will this hold? How long can they have us on knees?
Praying and hoping, to take away our sins.
How long will this hold? How far can they take these lies?
We're praying and hoping, so give my life mission.
Worship by death – is the righteous answer?
By God; keep all the weak out from our white chapels
Oh, send my body across the River.
Sacrifice me to whatever "higher reason" you might have
This time… what shall it be?

We take hell for them, look through all this guilt,
But how long do we have to carry their fucking world?
Worship by death – is the righteous answer?
By God; keep all the weak out from the whitest chapels
Oh, send my body across the River.
Sacrifice me to whatever "higher reason" you might have
This time… I'll drag the whole Stone,
Oh, this time I will bear it all

I will never be your guilt bearer (no.)
I will never be your sin confessor (I'll spit on you.)
I will never be your part of your flock
I will never be in your fucking mass
I will never be your part of your flock
I will never be in your fucking mass
I will never be a part of your words
I will never be of in your fucking hymns
I will never be a part of your false Light
Burn the Book

5. Deciever

Thy, who bless my sins
Who speaks to the vile and relentless.
Come forward, come giveth my crown
For I am your saviour, the wielder of light.

Thy, who suppress my deeds
Recognize me with the deceivers creed
So you can all fall down on your knees
Where you belong, where you belong

Come my children, eternity awaits us
Come my children, I shall give you your final rest
Come my children, in ruins we sleep
Come my children, forever in our empire

Take this oath, for legions.
Oath for despair
Take this malice, burn it into your skin
Fear is your ally, fear is your ally

Death is your oath
Death is your oath
Death is your oath
Death is your oath

6. 1901

Kissed by the widow

When we reach for the crown
The head must come off

What I'll know after these years
Is a gift to survive
For yourself to be an unshackle soul

It will be for yourself
What that be; immortality
Is what I'll found with this soul

When we reach for the crown
Cut it off

7. Head and Arms

Kill what I've become
"I tear your face all apart
Oh I can't feel a thing as we enter Hell."
So I kill what I've become

"We become what we make of it"
This constant of Everything had me numb
This gift, this position – like a snare around my neck
Slowly choking me until I found Thy: my way Out

So try to reach me with no arms
Try to smile as I hammer your teeth out
So try to call me back from the buried
Try to see me through as I rip out your eyes

You were me in the mirror, were me in the mirror, were me in Thy mirror
Couldn't kill myself in you
I couldn't kill myself…

8. Sounds of Broken Bells

Trapped in like rats.
This is a sinking ship, so swim for shore,
Spread the word like a fucking plague.
With this sinking ship we all will drown.
From beneath – hear us cry:
"Even the greatest Light will cast a shadow,
Behind the one-eyed Son, bringer of Deaf.
He pointed to the sun, and burned their eyes out,
As blind sheep always follow..."

We'll stand in line, to take the fall, to be your Scapegoat.
We stand in line, as it breaks, to be the Mistake.
We'll stand in line, to take the fall, this is the Gift you gave.
We stand in line, as it breaks, we will be Silence
We are your "Mistake".
We are your "Mistake".
Bare the whiteness of the lost, this is a coming storm.
From the bottom – hear them cry:
"Even the greatest Light will cast a shadow
Burn their chapels, tear their sun
Even the greatest Light will cast a shadow
Hang the Shepherds, hang Them high."
Even the greatest Light will cast a shadow
Hang the Shepherds, hang Them high."
Hang Them high.
"Oh, the "living soul" lives for their Sun,
But even the greatest Light will cast a shadow."

9. I Will Swallow All Light

Come sleep
Come unrest with the night
Like a swelling shield come forth
Swallow all light.
Caught a glimpse of Thee
And it's all undone
My darkest of darkest hours
To be beyond all living
I push forth – I push forth
To get a glimpse – of You in my own shadow
I feel your breath – down my neck
And I can feel you entering me – and everything else leave

Come sleep
Come forever in your black halo
Cover me
As I tear down the heavens
I will swallow all light
Go
Into the Light alone
Go
Into the Dark alone
