Upon the endless steppe ov sorrow Braced strong against the winds of frost and time Where frozen mist and shadow dance and whisper Where ancient icy tears once fell like dreams In the realm ov lonely spirits Caught by winter's bleak caress Cloaked in sorrow, I shall journey Across the boundless land ov death Misery, my timeless friend My worst fear is that you depart To the mountains I shall go Where the cold and endless shade shall grant me peace O cold! The primal state ov nothingness, Hear my mute and worthless plea! Send the winds that bring destruction When I am destroyed I shall be free! But the winter winds do not harm me; They grant me strange and nameless strength The shadow-spirits bid me continue To the grim mountains where I shall rest The voices ov great men slain in battle and greater men slain by time and frost guide my through the fog and endless shadow with their wisdom I am never lost Misery leaves, and with it goes my fear I am filled with dark and ancient might In the land where the sun itself is cold I live to scorn and hate the light!
2.
Through the forest and twisting Shadows Death calls thy name as ye walk Starlight blocked by the winter clouds Never shalt thou see the sun again Blinding snow ye cannot see Pray for Death to set ye free The songs of spirits tempt thy ears Begging thee to stop and die Though tonight thou shalt join them Thou resisteth with all thy might Forest-dæmons grasp thy soul Thou shalt die in biting snow Your struggle is worthless, your life is gone O'er dæmon-song thou hearest a voice that strikes thee numb with fear The Serpent-Lord, Satan himself Promising thee life and riches Thou cryest for mercy as life escapes Thou beggest for life, but it's too late Satan steals thy final breath Thou enterest Hell through frozen death!

Furious winged helldæmons soar gripping mighty blades ov war Fiendish souls and dæmonkin ride on blackened firestorm winds The god ov Darkness, Hate, and Flame Returns from the astral plane He kills the false and worthless gods Upon their foul temples he trod! Slaying putrid devotees Praying wildly on their knees They curse they ways ov Self and Man These foul words they shall not speak again! Their prayers mean nothing, yet still they kneel Before a god that is not real The vermin drown in a blazing lake Wondering why their gods forsake Thus Satan comes to reign with Chaos following in his train Teaching men ho to be free of sacrifice and piety Lust and Wrath this new earth has found A place where freedom has no bounds Where sin is void, and pleasure ample Where men are gods, and virtue is trampled No mercy is shown to the salvation-mongers They burn in Hell with pain and hunger At last aware that their god is false and that Satan is god of all And in this way, Eternity passes the "holy" past is burnt to ashes Through Death and Hate and perilous war Satan is god, master, and lord!
4.
In purest silence shall this wisdom come to me... Conquered foes lie quiet in endless sleep Silenced forever by wrathful steel and flame Razed by hateful fury, waste this land has become The walls of great cities reduced to ashen rubble Nations, like mankind, have fallen The wise no longer speak their wisdom, for none live to hear it Yet in this darkest age I strive to attain the boundless power ov the ancients Mystery deeper than the human soul awaits my yearning And I hunger for this truth While the weak struggle for existence, I search in solitude By my own immortal will shall I find the gem ov knowledge! No mortal man can impede my chosen course I shall claim destiny and be its master And I shall prosper and dwell where no light exists!
5.
This barren waste filled with sickness Where shines no sun, shines no sun, Here is the place where no men live save only one, only one He needs no star to show his path or light the skies, light the skies, In darkness, where most men perish, is where he thrives, where he thrives He slew the beasts that men call morals one by one, one by one Now he lives by a self-forged code his Will be done, Will be done Loneliness strikes not his heart He is strong, he is strong, He will survive when all else dies, when all is gone, all is gone! In this waste filled with sickness Where shines no sun, shines no sun, He will survive when all else dies, when all is gone, all is gone!
