Abigor – Nachthymnen

1. Unleashed Axe-Age

[This vision should not be seen as a part of the upcoming Viking trend]

Ancient!… we invoke

The polarities are united as one

We are united as one

By oaths once sworn – by blood

The powers of darkness are unleashed

Fire of Surt engulfes the world

Fenrir unbound…

Midgard drowned by the sea – let Naglfar be launched…

The chains of Fenrir are rent asunder

And the wolf shall course about…

An axe-age, a sword-age…

Come forth to receive the mark of fate

And prepare yourself for battle

The sun shall darken

Vapour and fire shall rage together

Till the leaping flame licks heaven itself…

That the earth will be renewed in splendour

And Surt shall endure, as Baldur endures…

…For the powers of darkness are eternal

The twilight as come

The dawn breaks in the east

The world is alive

Loki lives upon the earth

It is done…

The fire engulfs the earth

Fenrir is free – the stars are falling

2. Scars In The Landscape Of God

I`m the one behind the shadows

Tyrant of damnation

Believer in war

I will build the bridge of hate

To walk on pagan ways

In the light of the moon

…Hate in my heart

I wander through fire

To the valley of the shadow

I summon my inner self to strengthen my final will

I will destroy the promised land of God

To set the mighty flame

Flame – thou of wisdom the greatest

And to rise the hidden words

The words of ancient knowledge

The scars in the wind

Guide my path to the dark

Into my cold frozen reality

…This is the dawn of the final war

The victory is written in my flesh

I laugh as my enemies fall

And the sun will retire

Into the darkness of the night

Forever

3. Reborn Through The Gates Of Three Moons

I enter the gates

Into the realm where nothing dies

But I`m still so cold inside

Mesmerized…

By visions past and gone

Till the end of time

I will eternally dwell

Im dunkelsten der Stürme

Falle zusammen die Kerkerwand

Die mich schier endlos band

Und herrlicher und freier walle

Meine Seele ins unbekannte Land

In the darkest of storms

May crumble the dungeonwall

That bound me almost endlessly

And delightful and free may pilgrimage

My soul into the unknown land

I fly with the raven

Through timeless spheres of frost…

Through wasted lands of dreams

Geflohen vor der Wirklichkeit – vor Ewigkeiten

Und jenseits der Schwärze erstreckt sich

Ein unendliches Meer aus Grau…

Ein Meer aus gestaltloser Leere

Doch die Qualen und der Schmerz verbleiben

Als Erinnerungen an die vergangene Zeit

Stolz und doch verzweifelt…

Und in meinem Innersten hoffe ich

Daß mein Leben nur ein Traum ist…

Fled from reality – for eternities

And on the other side of the blackness

An endless sea of greyness extends…

A sea of formless emptiness

Yet the misery and the pain remain

As memories of passed time

Proud yet desperate…

And deep inside I hope

that my life is just a dream…

The moon is my blanket

In this cold domain

So ancient – so cold…

As a nightmare creature I crawl

Awakened from my sleep

To forever be…

Wiedergeboren…

Bei den drei Monden durch Mittwinters Tore

Reborn…

By the three moons through midwinter`s gates

I`m a shadow on haunted ground

Laughing in sorrow

Crying in lust

The storm is calming and death is rising

Evil – as pure as night

Proud – full of sin

Once again I`ll rise…

To survive eternity…

4. Dornen

Wartend auf einen schmerzlosen Tod –

Die Flammen der Hölle sind nichts

Verglichen mit diesem Leben,

Voll von wundenleckendem Licht,

Umgeben von Grausamkeiten names Menschen –

Keinen Tropfen Blut wert.

Meine Seele entschwand dieser Welt

Vor langer Zeit,

Aber der immerwährende Haß band meinen Körper

An diese Dimension.

Ich wandere rastlos und leer,

Auf der Suche nach Erlösung und Harmonie,

Wissend, daß diese Suche sinnlos ist, endlos.

Jemand hatte die Macht –

Und raubte mir die letzte Hoffnung,

Den Mut diesen Schmerz zu beenden, mein Leben.

Mein Wunsch könnte erfüllt werden –

Hinwegschwinden, sanft und sicher,

Auf Winterflügeln in die letzte

Und ewige Dunkelheit,

In der Eiswinde durch mein Haar streifen.

Waiting for a painless death –

The flames of hell are nothing

Compared to this life,

Full of woundlicking light,

Surrounded by atrocities called humans –

Not worth a drop of blood.

My soul left this world

A long time ago,

But the everlasting hate bound my body

to this dimension.

I wander restless and empty,

Seeking deliverance and harmony,

Knowing that this search has no use, endless.

Someone had the power –

And robbed the last hope from me,

The courage to end this misery, my life.

My wish could be fulfilled –

Fade away, softly and certain,

On winterwings in the last

And eternal darkness,

In the icewind blow through my hair.

5. As Astral Images Darken Reality

Kometen sind brennende Seelen,

Die zur Strafe durch den Kosmos ziehen müßen.

Comets are burning souls,

That have to travel through the cosmos for punishment.

Nothing disturbs this transcendental harmony

The only light that breaks up darkness

Are the burning red stars

Cosmic winds bear a waft

Of a gigantic psychic force

That the nineth dimension

(colossal deep universe) holds

And opens for me

Desolation in purest shape

Neither melodies nor cries

Resound in this cold silence

Nevertheless I feel the endless echo of melancholy

No mountain, no tree, no lake

But an endless wasteland of stones and ice

Forms this realm where no king was ever born

Because no life exists which can be ruled

Here is the destination of my astral journey

The only place where I find peace

So I leave the world behind

And replace earthbound grey

To interstellar black

I leave the world behind !

6. The Dark Kiss

[by JFN 1995]

Buried beneath forgotten cryptic stones

Enshrined in silence, embraced by darkness

Belonging to the hidden ancient race

Am I still dead but dreaming

Awaiting my time of resurrection

Reminisce of a day long ago in past

When I was blessed with the dark kiss

The gift which immortalized me once

Oh… I do remember the taste of hot blood

Which was running upon my white face

To moisten my dry lips

With a burning kiss of mortality

…A burning kiss of mortality

My eyes are blazing red in the night

Leather wings adorn my huge back

My fangs are sharp as frozen steel

Prepared to caress thy beloved neck

I rise from the tombworld, folding out my wings

Flying up high through the nocturnal sky

Looking for cretures who are worthy

To get the dark kiss

And to satisfy my hunger for blood

During this night

I do feel again the taste of hot blood

My fangs are mutilating thy sweet flesh

It`s the painful bite of the dark kiss

Vampires kiss… Blut ist Leben

… The blood is the life

7. I Face The Eternal Winter

Flying silent on winter wings

Flowing emotions from my bleeding soul

Tears that flow burn my skin

I`m drifting away on the cold wave of desolation

I`m touching the wind as it sadly sings

Carried to the disant unknown

Eternity awaits me…

My heart is so cold

Emotions reached their freezing point

…Only pure hate

Lost all that I was living for

Crying without sound

Thy sky has frozen to ice

As the last drops of blood leave my body

I hear the winter breath

I`m the face of the night

I`m all alone

The fullmoon is glowing

Snow falls from the sky

I feel the eternal winter

Holocaust winds are rising

Like a dark northern breeze

My cryptic journey has just begun

8. Revealed Secrets Of The Whispering Moon

…And so my mind is calm

Ready for the darkest eons

Candlelight caresses my eyes

Incense smoke displaces soiled air

This trip is part of an endless journey

I`m Satan and Satan is me

Finding myself through this experience

Wash away all that ever was…

My life is a funeral ceremony

As I march through the mortals` graves

I obey deepest inner instincts

And gain the endless power of darkness

To place the seed of evil

Right in the heart of the earth

…And all ancient power manifests as shadows

Which darken not only my heart and soul

But the holy light of all that dare to stand

Against the forces of the black flame

In der Nacht als der Mond tausend Gesichter hatte

Offenbarte sich mir das Geheimnis

Und anstatt der Haut in der Menschen Gesichter

Sah ich nur dunkles Spinnennetzgeflecht

In the night when the moon had a thousand faces

The secret was revealed to me

And instead of the skin in the human faces

I saw only dark spiderwebs

9. A Frozen Soul In A Wintershadow

Wolves are howling to honour the moon

My heart belongs to the past

I feel attraction for the night

My mind to the ancient times

I wander through the fields where blood was split

Awaiting the reign of the dark and the cold

I can feel the creatures of the night

My dreams are no illusions

So I travel between these worlds

My soul is frozen – evil rules my mind

Able to face the eternal night

Why am I born into this world

…Soon I will leave

Into the sleep of death – never to return

My life is just a darkened silent barricade

Between all I ever wanted to be

I will enter the other side

To fly on the wings of death

To ride with the wind to the ancient times

To fade away to a blackened spiral – to see eternity

To be a wintershadow out of time
