Emperor Logo

Emperor were a Norwegian black metal band formed in 1991. Over the years, the band’s music changed to what can be called “extreme symphonic metal” in their later days. They dissolved in 2001, but reunited in 2006 and again in 2007 for a few festival dates and brief US tours. The group was founded by Samoth on drums and Ihsahn on guitar and vocals.

Notice the “E” in the word “Emperor”, which is the 5th letter in the alphabet (Venus, Pentagram), contains a triangle with an eye following the Illuminati/Egyptian symbolism.

Lyrics from the song Cosmic Keys To My Creations And Times:

[Music: Ihsahn and Samoth.]

[Words: Mortiis.]

[6:06]

The heavens are lit by the stars

where years of secrets of universal forces lay hid.

They shine so bright, but yet they have seen more evil than time itself.

Reflected in the deepless lakes

(they are drowning in black elements).

They are the planetary keys to unlimited wisom

and power for the Emperor to obtain.

(They being) the gods of the wolves

whom upon they bark at night,

requesting their next victim in thirst of blood.

I enjoy those moments I may haunt with these beats of the night.

What kinds of beings are existing

at the deeps of my lakes?

They surely must be of an evil race,

for no friendly thing can live in such depressive waters.

(Here is also a planet similar to the Moon, but its phases is only one

and it is in its most powerful for all and ever…

There passes no light without the barking of the wolves.)

All these landscapes are timeless,

and this is all just a part of cosmos,

but all is mine and past and future is yet to discover…

Much have been discovered, but tomorrow

I will realise I existed before myself.

I will be reborn

before I die.

I will realise planets ages old,

created by a ruler with a crown of dragon claws,

arrived with a stargate…

a king among the wolves in the night…

An observer of the stars.

I will realise planets ages old,

created by a ruler with a crown of dragon claws,

arrived with a stargate…

a king among the wolves in the night…

An observer of the stars.

An observer of the stars.

An observer of the stars.
