\Voice of the Shadow of Beauty\ - sung by Anders Fridèn
 /Voice of the Shadow of Darkness/ - sung by Mikael Stanne

 \shadows play
 in my wilderness' mindscape
 they seek\
 /one spiteful and wicked
 one humble and meek/

 \a windswept pale landscape
 of edified thought\
 /two frictional forces
 a triad have brought/

 \woven\
 /a soft breeze whispers slowly/
 \within me\
 /in the valley of my mind/
 \the aerial mists sink falling\
 /and its breath both foul and holy
 is like the deer to a dying hind/
 \slowly traversing the atmosphere
 calling\

 /wordless, yet in soul so [bad word] 
 \nameless, yet it lives in you\
 /shapeless like the purity of pain/
 \lawful when all fear is slain\

 -one shadow of beauty caressing the flowers
 the paleness of winter reflects in her eyes-

 \deity of stardom\
 /enticer of stardoom/
 \so soft and so silent\
 /maternal - eternal/
 \serenity fades\
 /blinded by visions of sunlight nocturnal/
 \with the darkening of skies\

 /one shadow of darkness
 a shade of deep hate
 a wanderer's spectre with fury ablaze
 in sheets of sharp silver
 laid youthful to die
 reborn into vengeance
 dark flames dance in grace

 dark flames dance in grace
 in the grace of storms/

 \one shadow of beauty\
 /one shadow of darkness/
 \sailing free on the sea within my mind\

 \surging dark oceans
 perpetual waters
 creator of life
 and reclaimer of souls\
 /mother ocean/
 \watching the deep fjords uneasily moving\
 /whipping the white waves towards the cold air/
 \rising like swans in a scarred, sudden motion\
 /a cascade of lost feathers
 adrift on the sea/

 \hark\
 /a serenade in the tongue of the wind/

 \the sighs of the centuries, so sonorous in the bower
 hovering further athwart a leafy cover\
 /a shelter for those whose time's wind make them wither
 and therefore they choose to guide this time-wind hither

 alas, in tune with the tide of time
 i was, but I'm not
 nor I'll be with its pride

 yes, aeons have flown
 but more is [bad word]  for I know time/
 \but time is not eternal, their life stars not immortal\
 /a friend that I greet with open arms/
 \setting souls can never\
 /a brother soul of deadly harm/
 \pass through the pearly portal\
 \no bliss be given\
 /and joy/
 \nor joy\

 /flowing down the gates of [bad word]  fire/
 \i cry for you...\
 /don't spill your tears for me
 but for your kit and kin/
 \my scions of light?\
 /deprived of the lust and the treasure of pleasure
 which is the fuel for life
 and glory/

 \silent your dark desires within entirety's light\

 -solitude
 sanctity
 sanctuary
 sanctum, sanctum,
 sanctum (tranquility)

 \hear me
 /you who hold the fate of stars in hand
 before creation's eye I stand
 my soul set free/
 in summerland\

 \mighty the strand of the universe\
 /a chaos void tomb of dead worlds/
 \hark\
 /what?/
 \divinity flows in your heart
 cast it alight, the seed of all art
 slowly reborn from a sunless state of mind\
 /silent, you fool/
 \a cradle of roses
 embedded in stillness and shade\

 /silent, you fool
 thine words are [bad word]  remember Endymion's crestfallen tears
 serene art the gods, yet pain is their way
 he touched by the heavens
 his hellfire nears

 a silent divinity, now see your body of air/
 \free now your heavenly body of air\

 [bad word] bathe in the rays of the all-seeing one
 ho
