Dimmu Borgir - The Promised Future Aeons lyrics

Erotic and dreamlike still in
It's mortal disguise
A passionate ritual in the
Ruined garden theatre
The painted angels - shadowed high above
Once they gathered to worship at
The picture of me
Like a whisper where there are no words
Appears the perplexed - the statue of might
In the cradle of the next generation
A spiraling ruin - lost in the gathering dust

The faces you saw in the withering garden
I witnessed the flikering - made
To look like stone
Quivering like little figures lost
In broken flames
Never to forget again the names
Carved in horrid flesh
Those words drawn in water -
Become our legacy of fantasies!

Burn the pictures
So unexpected in this strange deserted place
Once opened
It's secrets would become the world
Its attributes would continue
To unfold forever

"Through the fabric of the
Promised future aeons
I offer this suffering of my unwanted father"
And the stars did wander -
Separated in the forbidden universe!
