Procession Lyrics

I can’t, I can’t, recant the dark doctrine of man
I can’t, I can’t, recant the panzer cancer of sin
I can’t, I can’t repent for everything I do
As a man, I am spent long before I am through

Shadow upon the world, darkness enshrouds the skies
The great mountain yet remains, regardless of the time
To conquer the world, one must conquer self
Yet the path so clearly cut, leads us all to hell
There’s no greater terror, then to look inside the soul
The snow like mortality, is destined only to fall
And we accumulate attempting to rise higher
The snow like mortality melts against the fire

Marching up against the wind, the snow attempts to take me
Ice lacerates the flesh, dark mountain you won’t break me
The body is beaten senseless, the soul is frozen clear
Mind is sharp like frost, only shadow slumbers here
The razorblades of winter, color the snow crimson
The dead shades awaken from their icy prison
My blood red disturbs the dead in their resting places
Mighty frozen kingdom, show me wisdom, from their hollow faces

I can’t, I can’t, recant the dark doctrine of man
I can’t, I can’t, recant the panzer cancer of sin
I can’t, I can’t repent for everything I do
I’ll lay everything to waste before I am through

Look at the processions of the spirits
Marching towards the mountain peek
Tired of haunting this frozen hell
Sweet release is what we seek
To face the light and fade to black
Like before, we’re coming back
Immortal souls, different shell
No heaven, no hell
Just pure inner strength

I can’t, I can’t, recant the dark doctrine of man
I can’t, I can’t, recant the panzer cancer of sin
I can’t, I can’t repent for everything I do
I’ll lay you to rest before I am through

Shadow upon the world, darkness enshrouds the skies
The great mountain yet remains, regardless of the time
To conquer the world, one must conquer self
Yet the path so clearly cut, leads us all to hell
There’s no greater terror, then to look inside the soul
The snow like mortality, is destined only to fall
And we accumulate, attempting to rise higher
The snow like mortality, melts against the fire

I am back from the other side
This time you can’t hide
Maybe now we can start
Like we did eons ago
Old souls, new life and the same sun
Until this life is gone too

Hear me fallen frost fades
You, who linger in the shade
You, who are lost, chained with permafrost
It’s time for us to leave this mound
It’s time to reach a higher ground
Like you I am also one, far from the sun
So rise with me, so we can all fall
To burn is what we were created for
We are the torches in the night
The burning stars shining bright
The ones seeking a new dawn
The ones you loved that are gone
We remember you
We remember you
We remember you
Save me
We remember you

I can’t, I can’t, recant the dark doctrine of man
I can’t, I can’t, recant the panzer cancer of sin
I can’t, I can’t repent for everything I do
I’ll find you again long before I am through
My love

Колико је миља још пред нама
И путева које држи тама
Колико крви мора да прогута брег
И меса, и кости да покрије снег

Вртимо се у зачараном кругу
Место среће спознајемо тугу
Место љубави живимо за зло
И као и пре, постајемо тло
Нажалост када све нам је јасно
Тада смо слаби, и тада је касно
Када се бакље упале у глави
Душа одлази, а тело поплави
Моје тело ту и даље лежи
Оковано ледом, у трулежи
Дићи ћу се и пасти још хиљаду пута
И моја душа ће и даље да лута
Тражећи свој топли изгубљени дом
У следећем животу где влада лом
Ти ћеш бити муња, а ја ћу бити гром

[English Translation]

How many miles lay ahead of us?
And roads that the darkness holds
How much blood must the hill swallow?
And meat and bone for snow to cover

We spin inside an enchanted circle
Instead of happiness we find sorrow
Instead of love we live for evil
And like before become the soil

Unfortunately when everything is clear to us
We are weak then, and it’s too late then
When the torches light up in the head
Soul departs, and the body turns blue

My body still lies there
Chained in ice, in rot
I will rise and fall a thousand times
And my soul will still roam
Seeking its warm lost home
In the next life, where debris reigns
You will be the lightning, and I will be the thunder
