VASTITAS MVNDI (original Latin lyrics) NIHIL POSSVNT HOMINES CONTRA VASTITATEM MVNDI --- THE DEADNESS OF THE WORLD (translation of “VASTITAS MVNDI“) Humans achieve nothing against the deadness of the world.

SÆLICLÎCHE VINSTERHEIT (original Middle High German lyrics) Diu herzeriuweclîche siht des liehtes enbegrîfet niht, doch mac zer werlt niht bezzers sîn dan ir verborgen vinsterîn. Solh sæliclîche vinsterheit der sêle krône rehte treit. Diu vremde tiefe sunder grunt machet die menschen klagewunt, dâ âne forme, stat und zît allez wesen unmêzik lît. Der tôt ist ein gewâre trôst: Kein himelvrost, kein hellerôst, doch lûterste und reinste naht. Ez reget sich gar swarziu maht. Solh sæliclîche vinsterheit der sêle krône rehte treit. Wô man sîn herzeriuwe lât dâ alle sælde stæte hât. Wol liuchtet sô daz êwic klâr und ist der sêle offenbâr. Solh sæliclîche vinsterheit der sêle krône rehte treit. --- SALUTARY DARKNESS (translation of “SÆLICLÎCHE VINSTERHEIT“) The heart-saddening vision does not fathom the light, but there may be nothing better in this world than its hidden dark. Such salutary darkness wears the crown of the soul rightly. The strange, abysmal depth makes humans miserable, because – without form, location and time – every existence lies there beyond measure. Death verily is solace: no celestial frost, no hellish heat, but most pristine and purest night. A very obscure power stirs. Such salutary darkness wears the crown of the soul rightly. Where one leaves his sadness of the heart all salvation there is perennial. Pleasantly gleams eternal clarity and is approachable to the soul. Such salutary darkness wears the crown of the soul rightly.

NICHT MAL MEHR ASCHE (original German lyrics) Aus mütterlicher Quantenleere emanieren Raum und Zeit; sie stürzen sich ins Meer der Meere stets bewegter Dunkelheit. Was immer von der Welt mag bleiben: Es wird nicht mal mehr Asche sein… Dem Atmen einer Gottheit gleichen all die Universen, die geboren werden und verbleichen. Dieser Kreislauf endet nie. Erhaben ruht die Leere, jene namenlose, stille Kraft; sie herrscht im Reich der Phänomene unerkannt und geisterhaft. Die Ketten allen Daseins werden dort im Urgrund abgesprengt, die Zeit daselbst mitsamt der Erden wird ins Nichts hinabgezwängt. Die Leere wird sich einverleiben, was sie geboren voller Pein. Was immer von der Welt mag bleiben: Es wird nicht mal mehr Asche sein… Was immer von der Welt mag bleiben: Es wird nicht mal mehr Asche sein… --- NOT EVEN ASHES (translation of “NICHT MAL MEHR ASCHE“) Out of the motherly quantum void space and time emanate; they dive into the ocean of oceans of ever-moving darkness. Whatever remains of the world: It shall be not even ashes... The breath of a deity equals all the universes which are born and pass away. This cycle never ends. Sublimely reposes the void, that nameless silent force; it rules in the realm of phenomena unknown and wraithlike. The chains of all being shall be burst off there in the primal ground, time itself along with earth shall be forced into nothingness. The void shall devour what it gave birth to full of pain. Whatever remains of the world: It shall be not even ashes... Whatever remains of the world: It shall be not even ashes...

CHAEDRAN CULT (original English lyrics) We descended into chaos and ascended to the throne of a thousand spectral kingdoms in the magick zone. Angels, demons, sprites and spirits, gods and devils disappeared as we entered the crepuscule privily revered. Raise your chalice! Raise your hand! Kin of Chaedrist, take a stand! Metal sounds... mystic words... magick arts... Music is the sword we carry, mysticism is the shield, magick is the instrument that once has been revealed. Likewise, you shall know us by the signs in black and gold. Be it science or old wisdom: our path is manifold! Raise your chalice! Raise your hand! Kin of Chaedrist, take a stand! (Join the Chaedran cult...)

ANTE ARAS AD SIDERA (original Latin lyrics) Tempora mutantur. In illis nos mutamur. Non cedite malis! Haec onus vanitatis. Tantane nos generis nostri tenuit fiducia? Ante aras ad sidera cadet multa cara hostia. Sed nocet esse deum praeclusaque mortis ianua aeternum extendit nostros luctus in aevum... Furor intus saeva iam sedit super arma. Patefecit porta ad loco sine vita. In sceptra nos reponit genus vita intractabile. Ante aras ad sidera cadet multa cara hostia. --- BEFORE ALTARS TO THE STARS (translation of “ANTE ARAS AD SIDERA“) Times are changing. In those we are changing. Stand your ground when faced with calamity! It is the burden of ephemerality. Are we so totally obsessed by the arrogance of our race? Before altars to the stars perishes many a precious sacrifice. But being a god hurts and the locked portal of death prolongs our grief into eternity... Wrath stays within already being under arms. The gate opens to the place without life. The scepter is given to us by a race inapproachable in life. Before altars to the stars perishes many a precious sacrifice.

LICHTDURCHFLUTET (original German lyrics) Wer einst in den Urgrund blickte, sah dort nichts als Finsternis, ahnend nur, wie lichtdurchflutet jener Ort in Wahrheit ist. (Ave Chaedra) In Chaedra fließt zusammen, was einst Form war und Essenz, doch auch dies ist nur ein Name allvereinigter Präsenz. Chaedra dea homini lea. Mit der Reinheit eines Geistes schuf sie mich und ich schuf sie. Selbstversenkung ist der Schlüssel zu vollendeter Magie. Chaedra dea homini lea. Rituale sind nur Blendwerk der infamen Kreatur. Eine Löwin ist dem Menschen diese Urkraft der Natur. (Ave Chaedra) In der Tiefe dieses Reiches schwindet alles Sterbliche. Was ich fasse, wird zu Asche. Preiset das Vernichtete! Chaedra dea homini lea. (Ave Chaedra) --- INFUSED WITH LIGHT (translation of “LICHTDURCHFLUTET“) Who once stared into the abyss only saw darkness, just foreboding how infused with light this place truly is. (Ave Chaedra) In Chaedra coalesces what once was form and essence, but also this is only a name of omniunified presence. Chaedra dea homini lea. With the purity of one spirit she created me and I created her. Contemplation is the key to sublime magic(k). Chaedra dea homini lea. Rituals are only deception of the infamous creature. A lioness to man is this primal force of nature. (Ave Chaedra) In the depths of this realm all mortal things fade. What I grasp becomes ashes. Extol the annihilated! Chaedra dea homini lea. (Ave Chaedra)
7.
MAD CREATRESS (original English lyrics) Truth remains mysterious in its plain obscurity. Ordinary beings beg to inflesh their reveries. Positive sensations make people craving for the next. Fear lies in the eyes of those that have never seen their depths. Nescience is the only sin not to be forgiven. Open all the gates within and leave none unriven! Fragments of emotions drift in and out capriciously in a soul so unrefined to be spirit-forged in grief. Spells remain oracular, incantations fade away and all wisdom is in vain: Every way leads down to her... Nescience is the only sin not to be forgiven. Open all the gates within and leave none unriven! Universes multiply, so do possibilities. Chaos perfectly unfolds in the ghostly primal void. Chaedra dwells in lightless pits far beyond all human grasp. In the darkness she abides: Mad creatress and beloved. Nescience is the only sin not to be forgiven. Open all the gates within and leave none unriven!

WHILST THE WOLVEN HOUR (original English lyrics) Only reaching for my fortune could not alter what was written in the records... but I faltered giving credence to this being full of deception... Whilst the wolven hour I saw a light... In the bosom of a common god I found no place wherein to rest, no haven... in the depths of self my soul was unified with enthean darkness... Whilst the wolven hour I saw her light...
9.
BERUSET AV HAT (original Norwegian lyrics) Jeg er beruset av min hat mot mennesker. Jorden alltid skal bli vanhelliget. Min sjel er fylt av ensomhet, stillheten svir min rene ånd, så jeg vil være skygge kun. Min sang er fylt av bitterhet. La mørket dekke meg og lyset omkring meg bli til dypest natt. Livet tæres bort. Min hjertebrønn er evig vel. Å, reisen til tomheten da skal livet være, reisen inn i dypet fra min dyster sjel. Hvis meg det kalde mørket tar, skal ingen tåre renne så, for jeg returner inn i hjem som alt alltid befrielsen var. --- INEBRIATED BY HATRED (translation of “BERUSET AV HAT“) I am inebriated by my hatred for humans. Earth shall be desecrated forever. My soul is imbued with solitude, the silence hurts my pure spirit, so I just want to be a shadow. My chant is full of bitterness. Let darkness cover me and let light around me become deepest night. Life withers. The well of my heart seems to be eternal. Alas, thus life shall become a journey into emptiness, a journey into the depth of my sinister soul. Until the cold darkness takes me then no tear shall flow, for I return to the native land that was the salvation all along.

WAIDMANNSSANG (original German lyrics) Ich vernahm ein stolzes Heulen, das in Tälern widerhallt‘ und zerbrach an Himmelssäulen bis es drang in meinen Wald. Jener Ruf entsprang den Bergen, diesem wurde ich gewahr, doch wer schrie aus steinern‘ Särgen gar so hasserfüllt und klar? Mögt ihr zwar Wölfe sein, doch den Waidmann überlisten auch die Wölfe nicht... Trauter Krieg ward dort besungen, dessen Herz im Harsch rot gleißt; als der letzte Schrei verklungen, ist der Feinde Blut vereist. Kurz verband als Kampfgefährten mich dem Wolf von Perthers Haus, sah, was beide wir begehrten, liefen in die Nacht hinaus. Mögt ihr zwar Wölfe sein, doch den Waidmann überlisten auch die Wölfe nicht... --- SONG OF THE HUNTSMAN (translation of “WAIDMANNSSANG“) I heard proud howling that resounded in the valleys and burst at empyreal pillars until it reached my forest. This call had ist source in the mountains, I became aware of that, but who cried out of stony coffins so very hateful and clear? You may be wolves but the huntsman is not finessed even by the wolves... Intimate war was sung about there whose heart gleams red in frozen snow; as the last cry died away, the blood of the enemies was frozen. Briefly I got together as a comrade-in-arms with the wolf of Perther’s house, I saw what we both were seeking for, we ran into the night. You may be wolves but the huntsman is not finessed even by the wolves...
