Mourning 03:54
What once was dreams came true The gift of immortality A punishment I learned Time won't take its toll on me I walk the endless path Cursed to be the last The horrid truth, eternal youth Life's not even worth the salt in my tears The sentinel won't let me in Living was my darkest sin Dust to dust, no last relief Alone I have to bear the grief Days turn to twilight My bones are chilled by the breeze Hacking my body, tearing my flesh Wishing my heartbeats to seize As I cut the last vein open So that finally my life will run out I understand that the pain will be eternal As my severed body rots in the sun Spilling bowels on the ground Still in flesh my soul is bound A living corpse, what's left of me To lie here bleeding for eternity
2.
Slumber 04:06
Guilty The seal has been broken the last door is shut Ashes Whirling in the slumbering dephts A pale gleaming The last lantern in the darkness to come Rising from the veils of slumber to reap the dark souls and bring blessing to some I fall to my knees The holy chapel is ablaze We cry out in bitterness as we watch the fall of the human race Behold the living Call forth the dead Images have taken form inside your swollen head I laugh at your cries All that was lost now will be found The cattle has been branded As holy lambs for slaughter you lie bound Galactic eyes see beyond Gazing at the stars that ancient Gods lit All is nothing and nothing is all Now sleep you will eternally Into veils of dark you fall...
3.
Sink down in myriads Are you aware of a creator? Bitter inward stride against distress Privation of pain and sorrow If a life tomorrow becomes The grave is dug today Saved from waves of time we float Against distant hights in the blue Your spirit lifeless body animates And by the ashes seal your fate Bit by bit my body will decay In the dark hole called my grave I will not stay In my rotten brain the will to live remain Now I am deceased and you are left alive But in truth I am the living one and you're the one to die Now I am all alone and only the clouds will hear me cry I will rise again... Alone I embrace myself I will claim my revenge
4.
Time has come we grow Impatiently we hunger We open our gleaming eyes And from your troubles arise Time has come I've lost All I wanted I took at any cost Everything I loved is gone Endless greed for wealth and power For what purpose when my love of life's devoured I spill a silent tear for what's to be done Fine… So be it your existence shall be mine Soul departs from body I will call you servant and you'll call me divine Inverted visions in your watery eyes Heed your father's call There's no need for any lies Time to die...
5.
A flash of light Blinds my stiffened pupils You catch the gleam of madness Fire burning in my eyes Sensation of delight Experience the flesh Remembering oblivion I'm weakening as my life is laid down Traveling through all and nothing Swaying as all time stands still I know truth while you're still lying Fall from heaven, now you're dying
6.
Snake 03:35
How shall the burial rite be heard? The solemn song be sung? The requiem for the loveliest dead That ever died so young? From the thunder and the storm, and the cloud he took its form (when the rest of heaven was blue) of a demon in my view Thrilling to think Poor child of sin It was the dead who groaned within Captured in a web of desperate lies Time has come to die Colors shift to black and white I see the night There is no light Visions twisted in your brain All your thoughts have gone away and you have gone insane
7.
Departure from your body Pilgrimage in your mind Believe me you might need a closer look at what's behind Concentrate on fusion Soul and mind is one Meditation trance Your thoughts no longer bound Seen enough psychotic stuff Stark insidious hell Burning with ecstatic fire in your mortal shell Wrought from non-existence the shape is taking form Called upon to take the throne Reaching like a spire beyond flesh and bone Towards all but saving grace Shattered infinity mirrored in your face
8.
Brutality 02:24
Brutal nations Reap rewards Onward march Into a brutal world To not surrender Strike them down Resistance futile Masses call March to freedom Lost oblivion All corrupt Hope still alive
9.
Rid of my choice to be free Instinct takes over Whispering voices call They wish to trade my life again with death Flesh and soul depart A soul forever lost Can't believe that I'm dead Realization sets in Well at least I'll be free Or maybe I'm wrong? No longer I deny This infinite loss In our last embrace They ask me please to die

about

Before there was a Swedish Death Metal scene - let alone a signature sound - Nirvana 2002 was helping to create both. Recordings 89-91 a collection of rare demos and rehearsals, is not just a nostalgic time capsule from the past, but a glimpse at what the future would hold.

THIS IS METAL FROM SWEDEN

about

N2K2 Sweden

Nirvana 2002 was a swedish death metal band formed in 1988 in Edsbyn, Sweden. The Nirvana 2002 monicker came from two earlier names of the project: The first was Prophet 2002, then changed to Nirvana. A little bit later the band from Seattle called Nirvana released its 1st 7”EP on SubPop, so they added the previous suffix 2002: this was long before most people had heard of Nirvana and Kurt Cobain. ... more
