[lyrics by Ihsahn]



Fire

Fire I greet Thee

Give life to shadows grim

So that they may writhe where you dwelt

In life, now dead within



Gaia!

Once mother of all life

Now raped by death

To breed the brethren of black fire



Destruction!

In claw-controe

Neverending bleakness

In the sight of the undead



Black desert of ashes

Under a dark clouded sky

Given shelter to flesheating flames

Starved since creation



Reign from skeleton thrones

The realm of the beast

Black victory of death

No life in this funeral beast
