Dimmu Borgir - Architecture of a Genocidal Nature lyrics

A dismal universal hiss
The sound of public scorn
The brush that sweeps across
The spectral fields
This landscape is not without a
Sense of epic wonder
A vast scale that places
This sprawling underworld
Into a realm of frames

With a blood-storm fading into the distance
Floating without directions over
This smouldering landscape
Caught in a moment of transformation
These shades of anatomic malignant nature
Approached on another in an unpleasant way
Frozen in the act of speech
Desperate to express it's state
Created in a shape to accommodate a
Wide variety of demonic forms
The realm of the benighted aristocracy
Of evil most pure
This is where wounds of deadly
Hate have pierced so deep

Emerged from the depths of the earth gasps
It rages against mankind
To annihilate the earth and worse
It spills the blood like rain
The beauty of death it represents

Devouring their flesh with a razorblade smile
Genes would still blindly carry on
Smouldering ember of hell
Limned with gold leaf, the scarlet brush
That sweep all traces of time
Place and pattern

A dismal universal hiss
The sound of public scorn
The brush that sweeps across
The spectral fields
This landscape is not without a
Sense of epic wonder
A vast scale that places
This sprawling underworld
Into a realm of frames

With a blood-storm fading into the distance
Floating without directions over
This smouldering landscape
Caught in a moment of transformation
These shades of anatomic malignant nature
Approached on another in an unpleasant way
Frozen in the act of speech
Desperate to express it's state

Total death in every nation
Monuments of vanquished civilization
Civilization!
Just as brilliantly removed ruthlessly
Eliminated the cornerstone of human emotions
Has now been drained away
I saw death of a most uncommon nature
