Naglfar - 12th Rising

Band: Naglfar
Song: 12th Rising
Album: Diabolical
Year: 1998

One of my favorite Naglfar songs. Personally, I like this version better than the one from Vittra, mostly because of the double bass drumming.

Lyrics:

The veil of nocturnal beauty
Drowns the daylight flames
And so it broods beyond the depths
Of the horizon never seen by the eyes of man
Awakened by the twilights kiss
The nightly rebirth of evil
The paleness itself has risen
From its slumber to reach out in its full shape

The midnight strikes again
The wicked one has returned
December rises the damnation
Like a black burning dagger it rips through the sky
Heaven weeps so feeble, as it glows

Sunset has brought this shadow cast
Sunset brings the sign
Which causes the final summoning
Of ravens, serpents and even the owls
The choir of wolves echoes
tThe eclipse is now complete
Thousands of throats is howling to praise it's supreme infernal glare

Scarlet burn, evening mist
Storm winds of death come forth
The gathering of nightfalls beings
Impaled the morning grace
The dawn lies raped, shredded and strangled
And so does the afternoon
Lights erased, and with the darkness it lurks
Smiling, glowing so proud

The midnight strikes again
The wicked one has returned
December rises the damnation
Like a black burning dagger it rips through the sky
Heaven weeps so feeble, as it glows
