Song lyrics Dimmi Borgir, The Mourning Palace, by artist Chris Mars

intricately detailed painting by Chris Mars: Daylight has finally reached it's end, As evenfall strikes into the sky, Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight, Sickening souls cry out in pain, Whispering voices summoning screams, Waiting for Satan to bless their sins, Blackhearted angels fallen from ...

Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace, Feel the gloom of restless spirits, Hear the screams from the Mouring Palace, Feel the doom of haunting chants, Eternal is their lives in misery Eternal is their lives in grief, Abandoned in a void of nothingness, A chain of anger, a fetter of despair

In this garden of depreved beings, This unsacred place of helpless ones ,Satan blessed the creatures, Inswathed them in endless night, Whispering voices, summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins, Blackhearted angels fallen from grace, Possessed by the search for utter darkness
