Dimmu borgir - The chosen legacy

 

Dimmu borgir - The chosen legacy

 

 

Hence I will anoint
And whisper wholeheartedly
The creed of Hades and beyond
As I succumb to inevitable sin

For I can not enslave myself
With imaginary words of salvation
The hypocrisy that surrounds my temple
Is assisted by pretenders to the throne

For I can not enslave myself
With imaginary words of salvation
The hypocrisy that surrounds my temple
Is assisted by pretenders to the throne

The winds that blow purity
Singly my chosen legacy
I was born in opposition
A contender to creation

In sorte diaboli
In sorte diaboli
In sorte diaboli
In sorte diaboli
In sorte diaboli
In sorte diaboli

For my sins
I will ask no forgiveness
For my sins
They are not to forgive

So never speak of me quietly
Stand by my confession
I voice your rebellion
Against the traitor of the world

I am the first creature of this Kingdom
I will be The One
To outlive His time
With the triumph of free will

Dimmu borgir - The serpentine offering

 

Dimmu borgir - The serpentine offering

 

My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness and despair
My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness and despair

Evoked and entertained through centuries
Wrathful and sullen--dormant still

The ferocity pervades everywhere
Waiting to be released at last
Hear my offering
Ye bastard sons and daughters
Share my sacrifice
Share my sacrifice

My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness and despair
My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness and despair

Reconcile not with the fear of the snake
But embrace it as your own
Inject its venom into your veins
And replant the seed that gives growth
Still shrouded in mystery
Until you arise above perception
A veil of ignorance is emotion
Continuing throughout generations

The snake is notoriously tempting
But the snake is fair
What is worse than not knowing?
To live or disappear?

The ferocity pervades everywhere
Waiting to be released at last
Hear my offering
Ye bastard sons and daughters
Share my sacrifice
Share my sacrifice

Dimmu borgir - Gateways

 

Dimmu borgir - Gateways

 

The core principal of freedom
is the only notion to obey
the formulae of evolution and sin
leading the way

The rebirth is near completion
As we slowly awaken, from slumber

*The malpractice of the spirit ends*
GATEWAYS!
*When the gift is once again attained*
GATEWAYS!
*No rules or restraints are longer valid*
GATEWAYS!
*When the ancient future is reclaimed*
GATEWAYS!

It's all there for the eyes that can see
The blind ones will always suffer in secrecy
For it is the omen
Of what lies submerged - Breeding
Untouched within us - Bleeding

To receive the light that shines in darkness
The light that shines forevermore

Be the broken or the breaker
*Be the giver or the undertaker*
unlock and open the doors
*Be the healer or the faker*
The keys are in your hands
*Realise you are your own sole creator*
Of your own masterplan
