Ensorcelled By Khaos — Emperor

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
