Sheep Among Wolves
05:35
|
|||
Deceived are all about you and you deceive yourself
Trying to display your strength, but inside you betray
For with your mouth you speak freedom
But in the deepest dark you know your true allegiance
Still weak
Still just a follower
Still so pathetic
Still so foolish
I will burn the church of your hypocrisy
I will expose you for what you are
No tolerance for ancient superstition
I will never ask your Gods permission
Chaining yourself to a dying faith
Doesn’t make you a hero to anyone
All in all you’re just as hollow
As those you pretend to hate
And what do you gain from your stupid game
Lying to yourself and everyone around you
To cowardly to even stand up to yourself
To much a sheep to ever be a wolf

Lord of Nightmares
04:47
|
|||
I am the son of darkness
She who is the goddess of night
I take the form of a beast or mortal man
When I appear in the dream world
I am the weaver of night terrors
Coming forth where there is no defense
Trapped inside your darkest fears
At the most vulnerable, I have you
I set before me a table in the underworld
Here with my brothers in hell
I plague the hearts of men and women
Lord of nightmares, I bring you horror
I reside in the deepest depths of evil
Within the dark gods heart I dwell
You can’t imagine what I’d take until it’s gone
I’ll take your children, rape your women and burn you alive
The only limits are the depth of what you can imagine
And I will take you all the way down
And you awaken crying and shaking
You try to pretend it’s all just a dream
But in your heart you know if you lay down
On the other side, I will be waiting
I set before me a table in the underworld
Here with my brothers in hell
I plague the hearts of men and women
Lord of nightmares, I bring you horror
I reside in the deepest depths of evil
Within the dark gods heart I dwell

Blood Forged
03:05
|
|||
By all that's unholy
By the power of Satan
I bring this vessel of pain
And with it great suffering
How I long for the flames
The consuming fire
To feel the searing
To be blood forged
Immolation my great desire
To be consumed by fire
I must destroy my body
I must be blood forged
The flames burning within
The screams drown out in smoke
I long to feel the searing
Blood forged
There will be no repentence
I commit my soul to Satan
The need for firey death
Close at my fingertips
Now the fire roars
I cannot be stopped
I can feel the burning
Now and forever

Armageddon Fodder
03:06
|

Disgusting pigs in squalor, digging in the troughs
Greedily pushing, gorging to bursting
Suspicious and plotting, always wanting more
Come the knife to slit that throat, spill that blood upon the floor
And you’re all the same, all across the world
A species of scum and depravity
If left to his own devices, man will burn the world
Seeking to try and control, everything will die
Ruins will be the echoes and testament to our gluttony
Billions of people long dead, burned in the fire
Nuclear hell unleashed, it’s only a matter of time
Ultimate power, turn the key, end the world
And your little minds are so confused by little things
That you don’t ever see what’s really going on
Petty fat little weak minded bitches
Never take action, all you do is complain
And you’re all the same, all across the world
A species of scum and depravity
If left to his own devices, man will burn the world
Seeking to try and control, everything will die
Ruins will be the echoes and testament to our gluttony
Billions of people long dead, burned in the fire
Nuclear hell unleashed, it’s only a matter of time
Ultimate power, turn the key, end the world

Archetype of Evil
03:03
|
|||
Lead by example
Power of suggestion
Finding guidance through darkness
Hurling dogma
Demands repentance
My eyes open
There's no remorse
Choosing the boundaries of right and wrong
Justify laws to serve their purpose
Kings and priests alike
Manipulate the masses
To battle the archetype of evil
Even though it's known by millions of people
Still we sit, lambs to the slaughter
Taught to tolerate and back down
Unified principles of weakness
Demonize the outcast
Lest the outcast strike you down
It's in the back of your mind
Just waiting for it's chance
The more you repress it
The more it consumes you
Don't deny it, I know it's there
Living in darkness it waits
So be true to yourself
And live set free
Choosing the boundaries of right and wrong
Justify laws to serve their purpose
Kings and priests alike
Manipulate the masses
To battle the archetype of evil

Instrument of your Lie
03:42
|
|||
Sixteen hundred years ago, born the scourge of ages
The beginning of the dark age as the church began to grow
Killing the scholars and the scribes and burning the ancient scrolls
Plunging the world into the darkness lasting one thousand years
We don’t need your laws
We don’t need your guidance
We don’t need your foolishness
We don’t need your God
I stand against you, I stand against the cross
I stand against your messiah, preying on the weak
I stand against your leaders, power hungry pigs
I stand against your God, the instrument of your lies
You pretend you have control of government and state
But the world is throwing off its shackles, and your time is coming soon
I have risen from the ground to burn the gates of heaven
In the ashes of your empire, we become the free

Lambs to the Slaughter
04:40
|
|||
Look into yourself, do you see the filth
Disgusting selfish petty weakness infecting your life
And you just make excuses for everything you are
You cling to others to try to define yourself
I’m waiting
To see your moment of weakness
I’m waiting
Here in the dark, mind full of malice
I’m waiting
You’re going to partake in my conviction
I’m waiting
I can hear the sound of your beating heart
The bloodlust is electric, pounding in the veins
The click of a lock in cold air, warns of your approach
The knife slips in between the ribs, a wet scream cut short
Crimson spurts stain patterns in the snow

Forgotten Grave
04:58
|
|||
Buried in a forgotten grave
The cold of the earth permiates
The stillness of the night
There is no life here
My excavation begins
Fascination with the dead
My morbid curiosity
Needs satisfaction
To be as they are
To know what they must know
I fill my lungs with the stench of death
And I become more than I was
To be as they are
To know what they must know
Shovel in hand I begin
The exhumation I so desire
I've reached the casket
My blood quickens in my veins
I break through the lid
To see the corpse
She was beautiful in life
Much more so in death
Axe in hand
I begin my atrocity
To be as they are
To know what they must know
I fill my lungs with the stench of death
And I become more than I was
To be as they are
To know what they must know
Axe in hand I begin
The desecration I so desire

Season of the Goat
05:47
|
|||
Commit thyself to the left-hand path
And be free from the yoke of the blind
Open your eyes to the morning star
Open your mind to the angel of light
Abandon the faith which is your crutch
Cast off the laws that hold you down
Break free from the ones who destroy knowledge
Take back control and never look back
The season of the goat comes
Look upon yourselves, and raise up with fire
For the time for peace with the gods is long past
They will not bring a dark age, we will burn them to ash

Unending Torture
05:30
|
|||
Locked inside my mind, there is no escaping
And in the trials of my life I often fail
The screaming voices keep me awake at night
Echoes of past deeds assault my brain over and over
No sleep
No forgiveness
No peace
I may never rest again
And easily overlooked are symptoms of madness
Yet those are so surprised and say they never saw it coming
I am my own undoing, set on this path from my birth
Murder and torture in my heart, the screaming in my mind
Because of my deformity, you’re going to fucking die
And I will howl into the darkness, my hands soaked in blood
Rocking back and forth between awareness and the abyss
Spitting in the face of life, and lightly kissing death
And the nagging need to burn it all down again
Open up the veins, and end the terrified screaming
No sleep
No forgiveness
No peace
I may never rest again
And easily overlooked are symptoms of madness
Yet those are so surprised and say they never saw it coming
I am my own undoing, set on this path from my birth
Murder and torture in my heart, the screaming in my mind
Because of my deformity, you’re going to fucking die
And I will howl into the darkness, my hands soaked in blood
