Eternal Tears Of Sorrow - Chaotic Beauty

1. Shattered Soul

[music: Puolakanaho & Hiltula & EToS]
[lyrics: Puolakanaho & Vetel?inen]

And the ancient mystic words misled me...
They reached my hidden innocence
So the sweetest moments of the perfect beauty...
Turned to the hours of the deepest despair

I`m nothing but a shattered soul...I cannot see...
Been ravaged by the chaotic beauty
Ruined by the unreal temptations...I cannot flee...
I was betrayed by my own beliefs

And my heart betrayed all dead emotions...
I could hear my breath even if I did not breathe
Now the changing tides wash over me...
And the freezing breath breezes through me

I`m nothing but a shattered soul...I cannot see...
Been ravaged by the chaotic beauty
Ruined by the unreal temptations...I cannot flee...
I was betrayed by my own beliefs

I`m nothing but a shattered soul...
Been ravaged by the chaotic beauty...
Ruined by the unreal temptations...
I was betrayed by my own beliefs...


2. Blood of Faith Stains My Hands

[music: Puolakanaho & EToS]
[lyrics: Puolakanaho & Vetel?inen]

I can recall the sweet symphonies of my lost side
She filled my dreams with the enchanting aura
But the sweet days of delight were buried in dust
On the battle fields of the unholy hordes

Sometimes blood paints all to black...and we can`t see all the colours
Sometimes the blood of faith stains our hands...and fills the grail of
unholy

I can feel the warmth of those brightest nights
But the shadows still haunt my heart
Over and over again I can see her dying in my arms
Can I ever gather the shivers of my past?

Sometimes blood paints all to black...and we can`t see all the colours
Sometimes the blood of faith stains our hands...and paints the soil of
unholy

Kill...or be killed...
For your roots...and this land...
Live...for the Ancient ones...
Blood of faith...stains my hands

Now my long night is over and the flames witness the new dawn
I`m on the northern throne all alone
Once again I`m here to face my painful past...
Without my queen of the northern star

Sometimes blood paints all to black...and we can`t see all the colours
Sometimes the blood of faith stains our hands...and fills the grail of
unholy

Kill...or be killed...
For your roots...and this land...
Live...for the Ancient ones...
Blood of faith...stains my hands


3. Autumn`s Grief

[music: Eternal Tears of Sorrow]
[lyrics: Vetel?inen]

The dance of two free souls...No more masquerades of mortals
Just you and me as nightly guests at the dance hall of our last Autumn
Your look`s so faithful, so brave...as you feel our common pain
Our lives and love now in a single stream...the stream of our last Autumn`s
grief

Together we lived our lives...and together we will leave...
It shall be the final tie of our bloody seal...
We gave our secret promise on the shore of our red streams...
The bloody oath of real love...the oath of red falling leaves...

Your look`s full of passion...as the night kisses your skin
You close your eyes and also let me feel our common will
This crimson stream will be the final step on the path of our mortal lives
You know our love is real...and oh yeah, so do I...so do I

Together we lived our lives...and together we will leave
It shall be the final tie of our bloody seal
We gave our secret promise on the shore of our red streams
The bloody oath of real love...the oath of red falling leaves

Together we lived our lives...and together we will leave
It shall be the final tie of our bloody seal
We gave our secret promise on the shore of our red streams
The bloody oath of real love...the oath of red falling leaves of the last
Autumn


4. The Seventh Eclipse

[music: Talala & Hiltula & Puolakanaho & EToS]
[lyrics: Vetel?inen & Talala]

I see the darkness falling on these fields
I feel the cold hands of the midwinter night
The claws of frost are plowing the naked skin of mine
The painful harrow of the eclipse time

I see the angels falling...their wings so dark
The black spear of the night impales their hearts
I raise my hands towards the sky
And I feel the power of the glowing light

The seventh eclipse is burning my flesh like the shining sun
Another star of the black heaven is going out
The goat of the shadows is praying for the new black dawn to break
The seventh rain will wash all my years away

The fulfilment of this rite of night
Gives me the spirit of the northern pride
The children of the night are singing to me...
I`m one of them...forever free

The seventh eclipse is burning my flesh like the shining sun
Another star of the black heaven is going out
The goat of the shadows is praying for the new black dawn to break
The seventh rain will wash all my tears away

The seventh eclipse is burning my flesh like the shining sun
Another star of the black heaven is going out
The goat of the shadows is praying for the new black dawn to break
The seventh rain will wash all my years away


5. Bride of the Crimson Sea

[music: Puolakanaho & Vetel?inen & EToS]
[lyrics: Puolakanaho & Vetel?inen]

I saw her standing by the crimson sea...
Her gazing was intense but so dead...
The teardrops corroded the soil...
She couldn`t say a word to me...

I know I want to be the young bride of the crimson sea
I`m here to join the dark waves on this sacred night
I know I must return my heart to the Gods of the seas
to become the maiden of those crimson skies

Isolated by the silent thoughts...
They were too strong for her mind...
Misguided by the burning desires... She couldn`t resist them at all...

I know I want to be the young bride of the crimson sea
I`m here to join the dark waves on this sacred night
I know I must return my heart to the Gods of the seas
to become the maiden of those crimson skies

I heard her whispers of remorse...
Her naive mind was much too weak...
Her fragile soul was hurt by the night too black...
All she wanted was to be a part of the sea...


6. Black Tears

[music & lyrics: Dan Swanæ]

When I`m in this state of mind I`m wishing I am blind
Sometimes life is more than pain to me
I feel the power of my grief, Death would be such a relief
All the secrets that I hide would die with me

Depression is my only friend. Will this torture never end?
Let me carry on to the dreamers` sky
I keep crying in my dreams. Can you hear my endless screams?
When I fade away I fade, away.

Life is just a masquerade. In dept to myself but I can`t pay
Soon I`ll call it all a day, away.
I`ve never felt what you call guilt
I still believe "do what thou wilt"
My sorrow will destroy the world I`ve built

This fluid on my cheek, it drains me, I get weak
My heart is cold and bleak.. Black blood, black tears


7. Tar of Chaos

[music: Talala & Hiltula & Puolakanaho & EToS]
[lyrics: Vetel?inen & Puolakanaho]

I`m crucified into my dreams
By the hurting nails of my memories
The sword of hate incises...I bleed

And their eyes...
Their look burnt into my mind...
Full of conceit...and despise

The tears of my bitterness
Form the river of my pain
That wildly streams towards the sea of hate

And their voices...
They make my soul bleed...
And the anger inside me will breed

All my life I`ve grown those roses of rage
I`m the bastard son of hate...
Blood of mine as black as those flowers of death
In my veins flows the tar of Chaos

Once you hurt me
Now it`s my turn to join the game
Isn`t that lovely feeling to feel the blade of hate?

On the street of the black lanterns
I rape your soul with joy
Just like you did it to me before...

All my life I`ve grown those roses of the rage
I`m the bastard son of hate...
Blood of mine as black as those flowers of death
In my veins flows the tar of Chaos


8. Bh?an Sidhe

[music: Puolakanaho & Talala & Hiltula & EToS]
[lyrics: Vetel?inen & Sankala & Puolakanaho]

The flowing stream...
A shape of a woman on its shore
She`s washing my cloak
Which was stained by the clay of time

Her eyes are so sad and full of grief
A flow of tears running on her cheek
Her look tells me it all...
Soon it`ll be the time to leave

Three questions...
I still had in my confused mind
She answered to me
With the riddles of time

She took my hand...
Without saying a word to me...
...and we fell...
Into depths of the stream

Changing this all...it`s just an eternal dream
To raise the misty curtain of night
I take the key...which will set me free
That`s the final way I still could find

I`m waiting for my sweet Bh?an Sidhe
Who will take me into her realm of Hades
At the gate of flames they call me by my name
I`ll be one with fire...again

I`m falling...recalling my only lighter moments of life
I`m yearning...and dreaming of warm embrace of my childhood time

My darkened past uncovered
was buried in those shades of night
I heard the silent whispers
Which lulled me to eternal sleep

No more waiting...No more yearning...
Someone else will take my place
Bh?an Sidhe has returned
To the shore of Hades


9. Nocturnal Strains

[music: Talala & Puolakanaho & EToS lyrics: Vetel?inen]

When the veil of night covers the whitest orchids of the night
I feel the darkest velvet in my arms

I follow the calling tune, the strains of the darkest night
And enjoy the silent song of a nightingale

I raise the silver goblet full of the nightly dew
And feel the sweetest taste of the darkest tears

The Dark wind of time is blowing...
Years are passing by...
But the sounds of night remain the same...

I see valkyrias dancing with rays of the crescent`s light
Their dance is so enchanting...so wild
They come to share the last dance with me
Accompanied by the nocturnal strains

How could I live, if night faded away?
I would lose my shield and the place to hide...
It would be the end of my way from the first dusk till the last dawn...

The Dark wind of time is blowing...
Years are passing by...
But the sounds of the night remain the same...

I see valkyrias dancing with rays of the crescent`s light
Their dance is so enchanting...so wild
They come to share the last dance with me
Accompanied by the nocturnal strains
