Sympozium Lyrics
Chains of despair
Cloaked by darkness
The thundering echoes of great destruction to come
Mankind's mysteries
The dying world
(chorus:)
Madness in it's sweetest form
What shrivels and dies must face the tempest
The angelic heaven bows to the ultimate truth
And melancholy grew
Anticipation mender through madness
Condemned to the same horrid fate
Insanity applauds
How sharp the awakening
Pale as disease
Mocking…Maddening…
Give up the ghost
Cease the gloomy awakening
History foretold
The hidden stigmata
Totally annihilating the ecstasies innumerable
Materialize the vision
Give up the ghost
Cease the gloomy awakening
Cloaked by darkness
The thundering echoes of great destruction to come
Mankind's mysteries
The dying world
Madness in it's sweetest form
What shrivels and dies must face the tempest
The angelic heaven bows to the ultimate truth
And melancholy grew
Condemned to the same horrid fate
Insanity applauds
How sharp the awakening
Pale as disease
Mocking…Maddening…
Give up the ghost
Cease the gloomy awakening
The hidden stigmata
Totally annihilating the ecstasies innumerable
Materialize the vision
Give up the ghost
Cease the gloomy awakening

I cant believe im the only one to comment on this song yet. it is by far my favorite Dimmu Borgir song. awesome symphonics and orchestrated parts, and the "normal" singing part is the best "normal" singing done by dimmu borgir in my opinion. awesome song.
hey goat i 'm with u all the way , great song , great symphonics , great band ,but i like blessings upon the throne of tyranny even more and i also wonder how can i be the only person to comment on this song in one whole year???
ahhh i adore this song.. and vortex has an amazing powerful voice... not enough credit is given to good dimmu songs!!
vortex has an amazing voice!!! votex(Simen Hestnæs...that's his real name) is the bassist of dimmu borgir....he wrote the lyrics of this track and many others...but the one who is singing is shagrath(Stian Thorensen) the vocal of dimmu borgir since 1993....and i totaly agree with you all that this is a great song
i somway think it's about end of the world... but still anyway... it's one of the best songs of this band ^^
I guess "the dying world" gives it away... It is my favorite Dimmu Song!!
One of the best from puritanical... side by side with puritania imho
By far The intro and the instrumental are the best parts.
