Celtic Frost lyrics
Album: Cold Lake [1988]

Lights have faded - Euphoria is dead
Past and present - Exalt of the weird
Chimerias petrified - Eclipse and suspicion
Deafened stream - Babylon fell...
Distraction and envy, Babylon fell
Festal perishing, Babylon fell
Dreams drift in the frozen wind
And mysteries are reborn
We rose from sand and stone
To follow the light's allure
Tears drift in the shadows sleep
Turn innocence into excess
Fragments of a dying world
And destiny lies beneath
Sceptres of bombast - Tracks into myth
Fetish and feud - dance of recesses
Fierce laughter - Banned into stone
Eyes of guilt - Covered by sand

Once prayed to my gods, searching for the whistled memories
Empty eyes are staring now, to my feet a land of sorrow
I'm the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind
Waets of might, wine of fire, I was called to taste
Silver horses brought us here, to the edge of the universe
We left the falling walls as the stars' collapse began
Now I rest on the highest steps, revealed the eternal frontier
As I gaze from the Jewel Throne to the portal of infinity
Fallen have the "chosen ones", debris remain in the dust
Far behind, beyond the sands, the wind sings to those who fell
Forever now, my hands laid down the poisoned weapons
I will pray to my gods, searching for the mysteries

Humilated in human form/We have to die to be reborn
Awaiting the final judgement/The dawn now lifts
Subjects of flesh/Slaves of lust
The cross has failed/You won't see the coming fall
A diviner's fire and soil
Flames, like flowers, like blood
Fires of freedom, flowers of doom
A surface of hateful hope
Oh subjects of pain
Lovers of death
You will feel
The yearning flames
Flames like tongues - like cries
Pant for kisses - For bites
Seven steps - And we're one
Humilated - In human thoughts
The frost, it bites/Your inner heart
Frozens the flame/In every eye
The lord will come/Broken ice
The fire will burn/Gleaming ways
Well never be reborn
Prenatal death's redeemed our lives
Into his hand we demand our hearts
The lord and we are one
