| 1. Eternal Black Reflections
Eternal blackness in the sky
Shining for murder
Air tasting of blood and decay
Of death
The empire is rising
White shadows fall apart
Fading into darkness
Time turns to eternity
Secrets of death force their way up from the deep
The unholy hor |

В 1996 году молодой четверке финнов, выпускников самой известной финской музыкальной школы идея исполнения бессмертных хитов группы Metallica на виолончелях принесла всемирную славу. Нечто похожее пытались провернуть и молодые немцы из группы Karkadan (это имя саблезубого тигра с рогом во лбу из персидской мифологии) на своем дебютном альбоме “Eternal Black Reflections”, правда Металлику они играли не на виолончелях, а аккуратно вплетали классические наработки “черного альбома” в свои симфо-дарковые композиции. Сама по себе идея очень любопытна, но вот ее реализацию успешной назвать трудно – лишь часть песен действительно выиграла от такого гибрида (особенно хороша получилась вторая тема "Niederkniender Todeskampf"). В большинстве же случаев получилось просто скучно. Записи также не хватает весомости, яркости и мощности, чтобы зацепить слушателя, однако упрекать команду в отсутствии определенной атмосферы сложно. Не самая большая продолжительность альбома играет на руку – окончательно он не утомляет, да и две финальные клавишно ориентированные вещи неплохо запоминаются, выделяясь на фоне той среднетемповости и однообразности, что царит со второго по шестой трек. Особенно рекомендую обратить внимание на эту диск тех, кто ценит ранние работы Agathodaimon и “A Dead Poem” Rotting Christ. (Диск предоставлен компанией CD-Maximum) |

The might of insanity
Reaches out for humanity
To kill
The mirror reflecting the minds of men
Shows eternal wastelands
Hope is vanishing for sheer terror
That is to come
Black eternally
2. Niederkniender Todeskampf
Die Eskapaden des Himmels verbrennen mich.
- Ich verbrenne ! -
Die Implosion meines Geistes zerfriЯt den Grund.
Wird er um sich schlagen und das ДuЯere zerwьsten ?
Die Grenze ist zu hoch, ich bin einsam.
Von hinten kommt der Speer voller Lьge
Dьsternis nimmt ihm seine Reflexion
Angst bedeckt die Lьge seinerselbst
Verweht vom falschen Wind - streift er das Weite.
Sucht nach HaЯ fдllt in die Tiefe der Geruhsamkeit.
Der Himmel brennt !
Unendlich steigt die Zahl -in die Unendlichkeit -
DAS NICHTS
Ich knie nieder, der Kampf beginnt.
Er beginnt.
3. Sleepwalker
In the dark of the night
I rise off my bed
First I see the stars
Then the moon - is full
I walk around throughout the night
But I don't recognize
It is the ce-me-ta-ry
I see the grave of my father
I begin to dig it up
Got the rotten bones
Crack 'em - burn the SOUL
I walk around throughout the night
But I don't recognize
It is the ce-me-ta-ry
Crosses - candles in the wind
My sleep is deep
No chance to wake me up
That would kill ME !
I walk around throughout the night
But I don't recognize
It is the ce-me-ta-ry
4. Requiem Of Yearning
It's me in the dark
I'm alone in the cold
I'm so depressed
In the corner
I feel afraid to die
I want you
The corner is red
Of my suicide
Now that I'm gone
I want you again
But I know it's not true
You have to go to join death, too
Die to love
Die to love
This is my requiem of yearning
[the girl:]
I will never miss you
Between you and me
There's only emptiness
Memories will remain
But they are left behind
My soul fades away
Into loneliness
Into the deep
What is left is my body
That never rests
My love never rests
Never rust in peace
Never
Never forget
Never
Never dream
Never
Never rest
Never
Never love
Never
5. The Calling
Walking through forrests
as the light goes dim
He feels so strange
and looks behind him
Silence everywhere
A scream breakes through the night
Without knowing where to go
He wanders through the dark
Can you hear the calling evil ?
Can you feel its magic spell ?
Seduced by the darkest powers
You will give your soul away
A lightning strikes
And cracks up the earth
Now it's time
For hells' rebirth
Dark Angels
Rising from below
He's not afraid
Follows the way they show
Meeting Scheitan
His mind was changed
He's still alive
But his soul is dead
6. Never Ending Love
You know, I'm a loyal one
I have served you well
Now I have to brake the rules
I like this girl more than hell
Sorry Lord, but I feel love
I'm on cloud nine
quite above of
you
She's got such shiny hair
her face - pale - she's looking good
I think it is quite fair
Don't touch her sweet blood
Sorry Lord, but I feel love
I'm on cloud nine
quite above of
you
Sorry Lord, but I feel love
I'm on cloud nine
quite above of
you
I will fight for my love
And Lord, I still love you !
My Ablaze
I enflame myself with prayer
Never finding the answer
For living at one's will
But you found another ...
7. My Ablaze
A thing that should be secret
Saved by the hands of death
Calling souls and demons
By using your last breath
Ablaze the light with darkness
Powers will turn upon
But they may revenge
And if your cast should ever fail
Break not will nor mercy
Let the sword rest for eternity
For eternity
Nevertheless you cannot escape
'Cause it's war against time
Don't worry about your flesh
But take care of your spirit
Take care
