Dimmu Borgir - The Maelstrom Mephisto lyrics

Ride the vortex winds with the beast inside
Cast down all memories from a
Past and future world
The cynic icons and the cryptic writings
As a picturesque creation in force and spirit
Against their reason and will, it is time
Give darkness it's passion plea

The venomous tongue the inevitable poison
Paralyze the angels freeze the forgiven
Baptize in fire unleash the devil at heart
Unleash the maelstrom mephisto

So sinner, mourn well
Make all the swans suffer in hell
The maelstrom of the mephisto left the trace
To revel and feast in undelivered grace

Pledged to judgmental arrogance in
Drawn principles of ignorant falsehood
To comprehend that the sin of
Life is life it'self a tyranny in torment
An inner-sanctum stealing sleep

In the dimness surrounding the
Towers of the castle
Where the ravens spread their wings out wide

Dwell in depths of the darker self
At any shore of infinity
And watch the relentless paint the soil black
What is being formed
Echoes throughout eternity
As the painter chooses color no more

Hold your shadows close when
The comedy is over
As the days of mourning seem to
Be the days of joy
Fragments fell from the sky in
Order to penetrate the eyes
A convict wallowing in a
Lifetime of lies: lies
