1.	The Seething Madness 04:27	lyrics	buy track
Turn to look and stare deep into the eyes Of the beast who’s come to kill you Every muscle seething with hatred and malice It’s you who he’s come to destroy Run as fast as you can Run as hard as you want to It’s always right behind It’s always right behind you The teeth dig in and you forget that you’re being eaten Shock kicks in and you eventually succumb And now you’re gone but your body is still around Laughing and mumbling to itself, rocking in a corner There is no future and no past for you anymore The hell inside the cage for you shall last forever Scream as loud as you want It will do no good Destroy your body bit by bit But it matters not The cold horizon holds no dawn in the mouth of madness Truly lost in echoes, a chamber from which there is no escape
2.	Raiment of the Unclean 04:34	lyrics	buy track
A testimony from a warped perspective carried down Bathed in the blood of any who would dare oppose Sustaining a 1600 year shifting empire Bow before the holy throne Before the altar, suffer for the cross Jehovah so hates you, you made him commit suicide You were born to die and anguish in between Now get back down on your fucking knees Cancer of the mind and you were born to rot Tumorous infections upon your very reasoning You cling to your bigotry and your fairy tales The unclean raiment, in which you still believe The pompousness you so assume in the name of Christ That in the company of demons, you invoke his name to save your life If that day should come, and fell beings you may behold Your final thought betrayal as they eat your screaming soul Your prophecy of persecution will soon come true As the world around grows weary of you They’ll come with fire and with the rope As the chapels burn in the night sky
3.	For We Are Many 04:00	lyrics	buy track
You dare to invoke that name It has no authority here or anywhere So feeble your supposed defense against An invasion of your mind and body Run rabbit, for all that you’re worth Distance won’t save you the suffering You cannot imagine the torment That they have planned for your carcass You would try to understand the ancient evil But it’s an exercise in futility We’re not your mewling little flock priest And all you’ve done is whip us into a frenzy We are Legion, for we are many The Hebrews wrote lies of us in their scrolls We care nothing for your holy water We care nothing for your hollow words Scream and kicking we possess your body No invitation needed to enter in We care nothing about your survival Your pain has only just begun You flop around on the floor erratically Speaking in tongues not heard in millennia Ripping fingernails and breaking bones Screaming until your voice gives out
4.	The Shadows Veil 05:24	lyrics	buy track
They say that demons live in the spaces in between worlds And many different cultures have personified death But in the dark between dimensions, she lies in wait for me My existence is my punishment, and she’s enjoying my penance There is no name for her, she is more ancient than age A long forgotten memory, intentionally erased And here in creation, I will suffer for her pleasure Here in mortality, I will die for her delight The very concept of divine is she, existing outside of time The spiritual embodiment of beauty and of night More powerful than a million storms, yet never seen with eyes But I will feel her vengeance when she comes for me again
5.	Wolf 06:29	lyrics	buy track
When the full moon comes the transformation takes hold I become again under a terrible sign Speed and strength I show, senses keen and sharp Smells and sounds will lead me to them, as I race through the dark My wounds heal in the blink of an eye My foes die in horror and anguish Only once a lunar cycle do I get to kill Under the full moon, I taste fresh blood again The man who is me does not know I am here He suspects something terrible, but has no idea For once the metamorphosis takes its control He disappears into nowhere and my rampage begins again The howling will spell your destruction Out of the dark I come to viciously lay waste Sluggish fools scramble for weapons too late Their lives end in ripping flesh and blood spray We don’t keep a history in my kind The first so long ago, there is no word for them It is a wonder humankind survived this long And that under the moon shine, their fate was not cut short The foolish hunters riding out for me with guns With silver bullets, but they’ll never hit me with one I can smell them miles away, and I doubled back And so the slayers become the slain, screaming in the dark The howling will spell your destruction Out of the dark I come to viciously lay waste Sluggish fools scramble for weapons too late Their lives end in ripping flesh and blood spray
6.	Out of the Frozen North 04:18	lyrics	buy track
An ancient legend rarely believed anymore Told of fell beings living in darkness and ice Stirring only when awakened, but if they wake The ancient gods will kill again, and stain the ground red Hateful and powerful sleeping in the cold The frost giants of old, of epics long ago Don’t go searching for the titans under the earth Guarded by cyclops and so much worse Come seeking power and you will find death If the watchers don’t get you, the wind and cold will There is no treasure there, but some have to look They return empty handed, but they are not alone Dark forces infect them, leach into their flesh The curse manifests in different ways, ending in death An accident in the street, a mysterious illness But all who go looking wind up cold and still There are things that walked the earth long before man A different time, a different order Long buried grudges, left over from primeval wars Still sustained in inhuman minds in the wilds Don’t go asking questions aimlessly in the dark The answers you find will not be ones you like And our ancestors watched in awe the gods move Watched their wars, and trembled with fear Battles louder than storms, as the goliaths clashed in rage Titanic behemoths, with powers beyond understanding A harrowing display of destruction With power to split the mountains And they’re still up there sleeping, unaware And the day they will return is drawing near For in their lifespans, they’ve been asleep for the blink of an eye We are told they don’t exist, but everyone shall see
7.	Blood Drenched Satisfaction 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Arrogant and self-assured, you defy common reason Fat slug of a male not a man, spoon fed your own superiority The sound of your voice, a grating irritant So I resort to violence, wish I could kill you more than once Something in my mind snaps free I visit punishment unto you Your supposed friends back away in horror They will not save you, they cannot save you I’m your god now bitch One step closer to death with each blow You just wouldn’t stop talking You just had to keep going You choke on screams through blood You thought I was kidding The error of your ways is evident And now you will die Arrogant and self-assured, you defy common reason Fat slug of a male not a man, spoon fed your own superiority The sound of your voice, a grating irritant So I resort to violence, wish I could kill you more than once

9.	Storming the Gates of Heaven 05:41	lyrics	buy track
Nightmares incarnate break across the fields of Elysium The battering rams of hell pound against the pearly gates All across heaven alarms are sounded for the first time Those celestial beings assured in their tranquility Angels and cherubim die by the poisoned blades of demons The dragons’ fire melts the streets of gold to ruin The New Jerusalem burns just like the old The horde marches for the throne room of Jehovah And before the white throne of judgement Yahweh dies at the claws of the Serpent Heaven in ruin, the streets run with angels’ blood The voice of God forever silenced
10.	The Skinwalker 04:25	lyrics	buy track
Native blood ran red here centuries ago And though the people gone, other things remain Black magic born from the earth And if you see them you’re taken You can’t run, you can’t hide They can always find you Animal or man or something in between They remain in the lands they’ve always been in Powerful and primeval, with their terrible eyes Shapeshifting killers lurking out there in the dark Waiting and biding their time, taking those they will Ancient legends warned of the skinwalkers And they’ve just been waiting, patiently waiting They have no natural predators except for man The bloody mourning and faint screaming Wicked soulless killers bound for fresh blood Remorseless ghouls prowling the night You will never hear their name They don’t exist American culture swallowed up their legend The scourge of the old land, still hunting Slaughtering who they will Shapeshifting killers lurking out there in the dark Waiting and biding their time, taking those they will Ancient legends warned of the skinwalkers And they’ve just been waiting, patiently waiting
11.	No quarter, no surrender 02:57	lyrics	buy track
Whining little children who cannot have their way Banning everything which doesn’t fit their norm Functionless hypocrisy, demanding recognition Political correctness allowed to run rampant You want me to roll over I’ve had enough of your shit This world is not what you want it to be We will not change to fit your whims I am not part of your weak-minded following No quarter, no surrender The media puppets dance for their masters The rich continue to grow in influence Power unchallenged, but there really is so few of them The camel’s back is broken we’re coming for you now You want me to roll over I’ve had enough of your shit This world is not what you want it to be We will not change to fit your whims I am not part of your weak-minded following No quarter, no surrender
12.	Black Bride of Sheol 04:19	lyrics	buy track
The beautiful daughter of Gods set on high Fairest of the morning, enticing in splendor Beauty so enchanting, attracting the eye of hell And so a plan was made, devil and god conspired As she gazed upon the narcissus, the ground split beneath And Hades came riding out, to the sounds of hooves and terror Her mother searched for nine days to no avail Beloved daughter gone without a trace She met with Hekate on the tenth dismal day She learned that the sun god Helios was her only hope She begged with the lord of Hell to release her daughter Many years passed, and still no reply The beautiful girl learned the ways of evil Her beautiful light warped into darkness When she returned to the Gods, she was hardly recognized Once such a gentle soul, hardened from years below In her eyes such cruelty, the fires of the furnace Her beautiful form, shoulders back, the queen of the damned And her force of will, powerful beyond measure She could not tolerate the surface world forever She returns to the underworld every winter To torment and rule again
