[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
