Kill Your Leaders
03:28
|
|||
Serve the God you fear
And serve the men in power
A principle emphasized
In your holy book
Take and take is their only game
So arrogant they’ve grown
But the knife in the darkness
Is still waiting its turn
Betrayal
Malice
Rage
Revenge
Run them down
Slaughter them like cattle
Kill your leaders
Make them pay
Make them suffer
Kill your leaders
There is no sympathy
And there is no remorse
With a swift hand
They all shall die
Foolish to think themselves immune
To the frailty of life
Foolish to think that those they torture
Won’t come and take their lives

Empires Fall
04:43
|

Blackened soot stains the stones
The sky knows no rest
The withered wraiths cling to shadows
Hollow eyes forever asking
Cold wind come down from the north
Bitter and cutting like knives
A gray sun caste its pale light down
Down on the bodies in agony
Empty cities a testament to their makers
Broken glass and burned out hulks are all that remains
Under the fall of dark the terror is real
Hands grabbing from the darkness, dragging kicking and screaming
Empires Fall
Empires Fall
Empires Fall
Empires Fall
Concrete doors and stairwells
Where the lurkers dwell
Behind the doors of empty places
Waiting just out of sight
And the fell things howling
To the moon at night
Mutant cannibal horrors
Waiting for those unwary

Hypocrisy Principle
05:05
|
|||
On bended knee is the closest you ever get to fully standing up
And they like you down on all fours ready to get fucked
And you know that they’re thieves and liars but still you submit
Forcing down whatever they shit on you, cowering little weakling
Just a bunch of children playing house
Ready to serve the tyrants until you die
Ideals built from force fed advertising
The brainwashing starts at birth
I fucking dare you to take a good fucking look around
Seems our fathers and mothers sold us into slavery
The generation that worshiped peace and love
Will readily take up all to our graves
And as poisoned rivers flow under poisoned sky
Incompetence the average as everything falls
And you could never take responsibility for this
It would be too much to admit that it could stop

Summoning the Obscene
04:17
|

Unholy father, who art in hell
Unhallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom rise, the world burn
Forever silencing the false
You shall know my wickedness
With the evil of my deeds
And you shall see atrocity
From the eyes of damned
Split skin and jagged wounds
Punctuate the screaming
There are no limits
To the horrors visited this night
And as you slowly lose your sanity
Shock and suffering distorting time
Blood stains the unhallowed ground
Under the sign of the inverted cross
The ascended evil come forth anew
And under madness shall burn the world
Bloodstained sacraments
Medieval unholy rights
The incantations spoken
And the impossible unleashed
You shall know my wickedness
With the evil of my deeds
And you shall see atrocity
From the eyes of damned
Split skin and jagged wounds
Punctuate the screaming
There are no limits
To the horrors visited this night
Has it been only a few moments
Or has it been eternity
Blood stains the unhallowed ground
Under the sign of the inverted cross
The ascended evil come forth anew
And under madness shall burn the world

Into the Cold
04:58
|
|||
One dark night, out in the wilds of the mountains
Under a clear sky, the stars seemed so bright
Led from the safety of warmth into the cold night
To seek the knowledge craved by my obsession
And when my eyes fell upon her form
My pulse pounding in my ears above the wind
The eyes of ice blue, the skin too white
A demon of the ice come calling
She led me through ruins never seen by human eyes
Down ancient corridors, in halls made of ice
And all the time following, cast under her spell
Further into the depths we go, deeper underground
There is no language for the being that I found myself before
The beautiful woman just a specter used to lure me in
Into my mind it invaded, but it showed me such things
Visions of far off worlds and beasts so terrible to behold

Wearing thin from the outside
In my invisible shackles
And in the still moments, the sorrow lays me bare
But there is no ending, torment unyielding
And in the echoes of the unborn future
In the wreckage of nothing, in shattered expectation
Dementia wrought from isolation, madness left unchecked
Held in suspended degradation, the shadows are screaming
It just keeps gnawing deep inside my mind
Plaguing me with thoughts of violence, thoughts of death
And they shall never know the depth of my depravity
No one will ever know before it’s too late
Dementia wrought from isolation, madness left unchecked
Held in suspended degradation, the shadows are screaming

Plunge Into Oblivion
04:28
|
|||
Burnt eyes see no future, only echoes of the past
Beat upon the dusty ground, scream into the wind
A billion men march off to war
The drums shake the ground
Hollow, sunken faces
Distorted and disfigured
Echoing in the darkness
Is the call of something greater
Driving the hordes forward
Driving the masters insane
Burning out in the darkness
The dying fires of war
The blood soaked quest for an abstract
With all the seekers dead
And in the twilight of death
Hoping for a quicker end
Everything becomes pointless
As you plunge into oblivion

The Blessing of Death
05:41
|
|||
Come to me now in your perfection, Goddess, the queen destroyer
Guide my hands dark huntress in my acts of aggression
Curse my enemies from my sight, bodies turned back to dust
Their names burned from the histories, scattered into the wind
In the dead of night, all alone out in the darkness
I can feel her presence resonating within
I can see the beast through the trees, hungering for my flesh
And he is brutally fast, but I am faster
I bathed in the blood of the kill
I took his hide and flesh
I returned to the elders
I returned a hero
She comes to me at night, the queen of my mortal world
Drunk on lust and wine, beautifully deceiving
In my good fortune, I not see the vipers
The daggers hidden under perfumed silk
And the oncoming darkness, soon approaching
Scoffed at in arrogance, pride my undoing
It had been decades since the night out in the forest
My kingdom stood mighty and strong
But the darkness came, destroying our defenses
And the knife came to find me in my back
As the steel found its mark, the final gates fell
Mistress of destruction, come to collect

Vampiir
02:57

Kissed by evil itself
And so I was transformed
Weak at first
But as I fed, I grew strong
By moonlight I hunt
The very people I once belonged to
Through darkness they flee
And I pursue
Their blood gives me unholy life
And I grow stronger every night
I feed off those I desire
No one can stop me
Born again into the night
I am eternal
By moonlight I hunt
The very people I once belonged to
Through darkness they flee
And I pursue

Heroes Die
05:54
|
|||
Pride in the mighty, and pride in the strong
On the thrones of gods, never usurped by men
And we never foresee an end to their reign
Though others have fallen before, ours remain true
The war is forever
Wearing down their armor
And time creeps in
Changing perception
Not even demigods, merely just men
With weak minds and equally weak flesh
Not a question if they shall fall, it is only when
And the heroes turn back to dust from where they began
