1. ...Of My Worship (Intro)



2. Summoning Of The Ancient Gods

mystic voices lead me to suicide
I will unite my flesh with him tonight
blasphemous son in my veins
into the magic circle

lord of dark winds
obscure my soul
burn my eyes
make me see illusions

burning in black flames forever
the child of my morbid perversion
is screaming glory of darkness
sing the occultic psalm

with the book of eternal oath
I created the face of the goat
unholy psalm to lead the souls
blood means the pact with my lord

cold winds of doom prevail
7 horns sing the prophecy
glory to the darkest depth
revelate my eternal prayer


3. Dark Triumph

primeval god finally returns
comes a sound of triumph
I hear his voice
a dawn of evil prayer
a raise of million hands
revelation of our dreams

I open my eyes
I'm into the tomb
feel a touch of cool
carry beneath the gates

...and now lucifer comes
rides on the wings of winds
opens the gates of ancient towns
leads us to eternal delight
among the thousand flames
from dark to black again

his eyes are dark and cold
like northern frost
and icy breath
is a wind for the faithful

bring me there
where daylight never exists
and people live on gloom
bring me there
where I will be free
from god's tyranny


4. Rise Of The Blackstorm Of Evil

my black face in the shadow
of the pentagram
among the silent forests
in the never existing town
my fingers touched the sky
I was god in forgotten times
jesus and his servants were
sucking my feet

...lucifer, give me the power to rise

now I'm fallen
a down of misery
among the blurs of evil
hidden in morality
I had power to destroy god
my demons ruled the crowd
now I can do nothing
alone in black crypt

...satan, give me the power to rise

but there will be days
when I shall rise
a dawn of my kingdom
slowly comes
I will fight again
will take your mind
to sit on the golden throne
somewhere in the sky

...belial, give me the power to rise
...oh... oh... satan, give me the power to rise...

Line-up:
NERGAL - guitars and voices
BAAL RAVENLOCK - drums

Nergal's comment: "I remember it took as a few weeks to compose all the songs
and I was very determinate to record them in the professional studio. It was
still quite amateurish studio so did the session. We still were poor musicians
but we knew what our goal was...We were heading to the darkside and we called
our music BLACK METAL, it was very fresh and special feeling at that time.
We've never had such a relation between me and Baal before. It was something I
can't describe in any mortal language, we were still very young but "someone"
or "something" was leading us forward, to dimensions to be discovered later...
But let's back to the session for a while...I remember well we were completely
disoriented, I didn't know how to tune the guitar properly and Baal had so
many problems with playing on pad drum set which is audible on the record.
Hah, anyway, today some people still enjoy "The return.." a lot, there are
even opinions about this tape of being the best one, from everything we've
done so far. Well, eventhough I don't share such opinions I still like this
stuff and have a great sentiment...but that's obvious I guess..."
