Band: Celtic Frost
Album: Morbid Tales
Year: 1984


~ Lyrics:

My life turns into sand
Immortality is my dream
Man shall follow my command
Sorcery shall conquer my fear

Astral magic and runic wand
I feel that wisdom's near
Across the mountain's ice
Scarlett at the equinox' dawn

I sacrificed an innocent lamb
And drunk the wine of paradise
But, still run the sands of time
Just one thing yet to be done

As spells surround me
At a lightmass' night
He raised the abyss
Covered by the sword

I sold my soul in vain
I feel it, as he returns
The sands of time will never run
For an immortal dead man!

*All music written and arranged by Celtic Frost**

@MetalAttack1986 I like all Celtic Frost albums except Cold Lake, and Into the Pandemonium didn't really impress me either. But To Mega Therion, Vanity/Nemesis, Morbid Tales, Emperor's Return, and Mono†heist were amazing albums!

@dieselroarmt875 It probably is, if you pick up the special edition of Panzerfaust with commentary by Fenriz on it you'll find out just how much they love Celtic Frost.

1:56-2:11 sounds like a darkthrone riff from Earth's Last Picture
