This song is original played by Thorns, in it's demo "Trondertun" (1992), later in 1999 Emperor played with Thorns and made this cover in the split album. Then re-edited in the recopilation "Scattered Ashes: A Decade Of Emperial Wrath"(2003) Here are the lyrics: By the Moon's haze and Northern Moonlight. Upon the Earth he rode. He seeks that which never was and never to become. The Moon rose, it was crimson in color, as if the night saw the coming fall that once crushed your domain. It ever comes again. And again, and again And again, and again And again, and again The moon shone with a fuller red. As a cross he was drawn to the Earth. What once has been shall be no more. Death, he craves his next. It is decreed. Oh, Lord, hide me from the secret council of the wicked and from these wretched words of iniquity. For my enemies be against me, and they have laid waste my soul in council together. Defend me from he that rises up against me. Save me from he that bears horns... cloven hooves. For he lies in wait for my soul and desires to take it down a fiery pit. The wraith descends to a world to feed upon Man's soul. See you perished, fall. So by the stone, decrees of faith. Their kingdom lost. The Moon rose, it was crimson in color. Tolled one bell. What once crushed your domain, it ever comes again. And again, and again And again, and again And again, and again
