Emperor - Ensorcelled By Khaos lyrics

[Words: Ihsahn/ Music & arrangements: Samoth & Ihsahn]

In an endless maze begotten

To dead ends led by fools

I sought a plague

For those who smiled at walls

In humble fear

Yet, belligerent ways came to an end

No war could ease my hunger

By craving death I was

To darkness reborn

No sacrifice too great

Caught in another maze

Truly endless

Still

This maze is mine

No peace for me

No peace I seek

My quest goes far beyond

No sacrifice too great

Caught in another maze

Truly endless

Still

This maze is mine

I hail the greatest fall

Dark is the spirit of my token

Dark is my call

Still craving

Still torn

Hear me master

Of this realm to which I was reborn

"Bearer of my stigma. Thou art of me.

Yet, claim no gift, but guidance.

For I am the giver of temptation.

Thou art the executor of Thy rewards"

The cosmic forces driving me

More noble, more free

Love and hate and all in between

I greet them all in ecstasy

Take me

Venus

Seduce me

Mars

Possess me

Tear my soul from sanity

No sacrifice too great

Caught in another maze

Truly endless

Still this maze is mine

And I am thine
