Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Forces of the northern light, assemble
Forces of the northern night, call to arms
Summoned by the secrets of sacrifice
[Verse 2]
Dimmu Borgir
[Verse 3]
Meeting destiny on the road we took to avoid it
As we only compete with ourselves
Left is that of a confident union
[Verse 4]
Dimmu Borgir
[Verse 5]
What bridge to cross and what bridge to burn
Deceit is everywhere you turn
We weed out the weak and their weep
[Verse 6]
Dimmu Borgir
[Verse 7]
Evolving compulsively
Behaving inconsistently
Yet the pulse is pounding
Restoration is the name
For those who are left in the game
Invocation in the name of our flame
[Verse 8]
Of our flame
[Verse 9]
Dimmu Borgir
The deviants seek but one place
Dimmu Borgir
Forward, onward, march
[Verse 10]
Forgive, we shall not
Forget, we shall not
With trickery and treat
Enemies will face defeat
[Verse 11]
No place for dreamers
As our formation is lava
Fire is with or against you
And so it burns, (So it burns)
[Verse 12]
Constant retribution calling
From the shadows of three consecutive sixes
Merging with a cold, dark vacuum
Talent is worthless unless exercised
[Verse 13]
When the world is turning
You'll find your true nature
When the first is last and the last is first
You'll be where you choose to be
[Verse 14]
You'll be where you choose to be
Forgive, we shall not
Forget, we shall not
Fire is with or against you
And so it burns
