Comments	Masterpiece of Evil. The best Rotting Christ's release to date. they have switched to more gothic and atmospheric sound. No more the corpse paint and black image. They seem to adopted clean image. By the way, the music is really great and so does the lyrics. From the first song to the last, they managed to play them very well and consistently. If you're looking for a great gothic album, then this album is a good one for start.

Sorrowful Farewell Counting the time Waiting for the crime The loss of innocence A faint reminiscene I'm in the twillight Surrounded by the night The memories have been disgraced The scene is still unchanged The time is near The message is clear The battle will be fought Fight now, fear not I keep still I am trying to feed The hate that's within you I'm going to win you I was mistaken I was forgotten Unbroken silence Absolute violence I praise the song of defeat I am the bottom and he's the summit A sorrowful farewell Where does salvation dwell Among Two Storms Full moon - raise the rainbow The sea experts - prepare the bow An optical miracle - a moon as big as one Two thunders High strain Threaten the mankind Among two storms It buzzes around your eyes An easy day will follow the twillight It must be the last full moon It's near the promised time the thunder bears two mothers The mother bears two sons Echoes in the distance All turn to sun's size It's hot although its midnight The mothers died once Father itself the rainbow Both sons will last no more A Dead Poem Focus tomorrow's horizon Sorrow means no future Cover my face With my guily hand It's the season the trees die The birds don't sing anymore the rivers never come back Nature dies out This tragic figure Destined to hurt never heal What end can save me What good gives me an end Nothing is innocent Nothing is fair I keep wondering How did I end up like this First passion now is lost A dramatic dead story I killed all I have My sadness is Translated into madness I spell meaningless words A poem for sorrow and death Out of Spirits Great dilemma Detestable thoughts Non-existing facts And it's the grief that accompanies you Life and death are struggling The outcome is wavering The decision is ours But the truth escapes me The sadness of bereavement The loss of innocence Hate made an untrodden path Of my soul I walk lightly Trying not to wake My sleeping consciousness Trying to resist myself The fate has schemed Against us The weak are condemned Fear now I want to be alive But my soul is asleep You can say whatever I go on all alone As If By Magic The night absorbs relity And releases fantasy It tickles my vanity And throws me into ecstacy The abyss of illusion Reveals a fairy land I am in confusion For I've got out of hand The fairies of the night Surround me beset me Fear is their delight They will try to take me The new moon salutes me The wind whispers a word The wicked witches embrace me And touch me with their magic hand And I become air And I become fire The enemies filled with despair As I am getting higher and higher I have gained the wisdom I have honoured the spell I have conquered the stardom I have beaten the night as well Innocence arrives with dawn All creatures start to hide They leave me alone And are eager for the night Full Colour Is The Night Shall I tell you the legend? About a garden is wearing black I'll tell you about the whispers The dark eyes of the night Moonlight is the brightness Before each dawn I lose my beauty I lose my light Full is the night Fulfills my mind The painters are the stars Mix black with white Paint all trees the flowers the waters Full colour is the night Free ride in the wind With the queen of the night Under the spell of her cold eyes I dressed all I dress Smell my difference See my only love Take no colours Mesmerized in the night Semigod Open me a gate Through a red sky Give me the power of two lions The eyes of the falcon Your blood in my veins What destiny will follow Under your divine will Into brave lands I will drift Semigod from your love with a mortal woman Half man, half god I threw my soul Into your world One wise - eye God One sly evil eye And the magic following me Nothing can scare me Nothing moves me Nothing burns me Nothing kills me Nothing beats me Ten Miles High Instrumental Between Time The drums of time has stopped The ecstatic quietude Sucks up every fear And every desire Illusions of the moment Featureless figures Intensified feelings I'm running behind my shadows In this vastness I can feel your presence I cannot understand Your misleading words Inconceivable beauty Sweet melody Forgotten senses Are waking up Dark in the dark Always and never This is the time Of total purification Lost in thought Trying to touch The perfect moment But the clock strikes again Ira Incensus Let the silence talk Let my life walk The path of despair Confess your sins if you dare I play with fear Guilt is coming near Challenge me But don't judge me The tree of pride Has grown up so wild I'm the one who endures Ira Incensus All efforts in vain My life is in pain I'm reaching the truth And death is the proof The last of my kind I'm losing my mind The pain has gone But I'm alone I fight on my way The skills I have shown Abandon, desert me The secret is going to break me I cry for me Despair is all I see The night is spreading My life is ending
