Emperor - Ye Entrancemperium lyrics

[Originally released in 1997 on the album "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk".] [Lyrics: Ihsahn.] [Music: Samoth & Ihsahn.] [Arrangements: Samoth & Ihsahn.] [Opening theme originally composed by Euronymous.] [5:14] Drawn towards these lands again. Seeking d**h and sacred soil. I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul, growing stronger once I enter my empire beyond. Emperium! Behold my coming. The fullmoon rise above me, enlightening my realm in a silvery glow. Yet the shadows crawl beneath my storming sky, guarding treasures from forbidden light. I still remember, though ages ago it seems, the first time I entered the gates, the revelation of ritual d**h by which I became divine. Sacrifice of the life I had among the flesh of the light. And now I enter again. Even stronger, yet amazed by what I see. In ecstasy I mock the world. Suddenly I memorize, asking what I left behind. Nothing. Can I ever comprehend? Will my longing ever end? Never. Drawn towards these lands again. Seeking d**h and sacred soil. I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul eternally.
