1.	Sahia Sacrifice 06:49	lyrics	buy track
Hear my voice! I call upon the guardians By the powers of the elements I shall be safe Earth! I ask for your strength! Wind! I ask for your wisdom! Fire! I ask for your vitality! Water! I ask for your tenacity! I take of this energy and ask that is it blessed to protect me In my journey into the Unseen Realm I call down the power of my soul and of the gods To protect my ritual ground, because evil will be summoned here Earth, Element of the North Wall be sealed. Wind, Element of the East Wall be sealed Fire, Element of the South Wall be sealed Water, Element of the West Wall be sealed . It is midnight, but day beyond the sky The Celestial Gates shall be opened and power shall be released I invoke the Immortal Stars by the power of my name The Five Stars; open wide to release the horde In Darkness and in Light, I call upon you Sahia, Queen to destroy Rip their flesh, shatter their bones and leave only ruins Bathe in blood and eat them alive, because it is my will, my will be done I call upon Darkness, so deep that it is bottomless, Be freed to curse death upon those who stand in my way. I give them to the Pinnacles of Evil. Sacrifice before your awe and your glory Hail unto Sahia, my curse shall be done.
2.	Vertistis Daemonium 05:03	lyrics	buy track
Archaic being of darkness I call upon thee now Answer my summons upon unhallowed ground Enter this host of suffering Inhabit the depths of my soul Make this body your vessel Use these eyes to see Cross the threshold between worlds Bring unto the lost the judgement Agent of chaos and madness Atrocity yet to behold Blood upon my hands and face arms raised high Incantation spoken while the sacrifice dies Dark magic binds the joining Unrelenting evil crossed over Burning with the fires of hatred Malice enraged without fear I am forever bound to evil Cold beast come from the void And when it laughs it rings with agony Bringing panic and crushing despair
3.	Seven Things Taken 05:37	lyrics	buy track
You've brought me pain Now it's time you accept the gift in return Seven things will be taken from you Living nightmares come to pass Caught in all the wrong there is Become infected with plague And you shall lose any trust you’ve ever had Someone close to you will taste deaths kiss Your bones will break and crumble Your love lost to the wind You will never feel the sun again I reverse my pain to go to you So no one is ever true to you again Forced to walk the desert of your life Whispering echoes keep your sins fresh Succulent agony Divine screams of anguish Delicious suffering Echoing over and over Seven times come the tragedies Seven bullets all found their homes Seven times you swore apologies Seven times there is no forgiveness And when the demons come for you and I know they will As they rip you into madness against your will Your pathetic wailing will finally end And they’ll begin taking things all over again
4.	Jaktet av Spokelser 05:07	lyrics	buy track
Crimson stain from blood spilt Words of conjuring spoken into mirror Fresh smoke writhes like serpents Distant sounds rushing closer And the question lingers here no longer By whatever name they know you’ve called them here On a whim you’ve summoned your living damnation Waking or sleeping, they violate you over and over Scream any words you wish, nothing ends your torment Even in death they are waiting on the other side Opening doors to places you don’t know is never wise And now they’ve been invited inside Your body so injured, your mind is in tatters A reward for your weakness, a failure to heed
5.	Hammer of Judgement 03:39	lyrics	buy track
I call to the angels in the heavens And to the dark angel in Kurane Bring upon the earth my wrath The city under my feet shall burn and be torn asunder I give my flesh to Kurane From which the wrath of Seuwrhan shall be brought forth I cast my soul through the Gates of Eternity To break the chains that hold Balithira Stand as a pillar of fire against man Drown that which is the light of Yahweh Seuwrhan, it is time to set forth Your wrath upon us Humankind has gone too far And only the stars can rest that which can never rest Bring unto me the fallen stars Send forth the fire that rains from the sky. Send the Legions of Kurane in mortal flesh Give unto their cursed souls the power over the sun Send them upon the cities of the world Crush that which does not bow to me,God of Kurane I shall send demons into the mortal world To eat the flesh of my enemy. Hail unto Seuwrhan the God of Corruption This curse shall be sent
6.	Blood Curse 05:21	lyrics	buy track
I WANT THEMM TO REGRET! DESTROY THEM NOW I COMMAND YOU! I want them to regret Destroy them now, I command you So mote it be, so mote it be Choke the breath from their bodies Close their veins, I demand it So mote it be, so mote it be And twist the minds of their sons and daughters Show them madness, and show them the light Forever infected, promised to the serpent Hollow and gray, they wither away so hopelessly You will wish for succor, you will beg for relief Solace from pain you shall not find Broken body shakes from the spasms of weeping Only then do you have permission to die Cold, alone, and utterly destroyed Slip into the ancient ether Into the waiting clutches of the underworld No breath left to scream with Terrified, they drag you away Upon the cursed ground Nothing shall grow for lifetimes So mote it be, so mote it be Those near bear witness Of the marks of living evil So mote it be, so mote it be The people will tell legends Of the torment you underwent Screams of agony heard in heaven Echoing in hell And when the birds have picked away at your carcass When the fires are reduced to only ash When the wells run dry, and the sun burns red This will only mark the beginning of your suffering
7.	Calling of Lucifer 05:29	lyrics	buy track
Oh, God of under, God Of time, Do the souls trace with lice Of which this time I do combine, to hear the words Hear my lies. Lucifer, name of fear Grant me a wish, one so I can hold From the unearthly runes, Elders speak Must I use what you've been called Archangel of the primeval Hear the words of this mortal On unhallowed ground Blood on these hands and alter
8.	Fear 05:28	lyrics	buy track
The Curse of Fear This image of the would be fate It hangs from a single thread In a place no one shall see Creeping into minds unbidden Bound by doubt of the unknown Sucking the strength from your soul Courage tied in knots The mumbling turned to screaming Filling all thought with terror Feeble weakness becomes the undoing Flee in horror, run for all the good it will do
9.	Loss 07:06	lyrics	buy track
This track is instrumental.
10.	Abdiel 04:12	lyrics	buy track
The chains rattle with the rhythmic steps of slaves The manacles tight, there is no possibility of escape There is no opposition against Abdiel the hidden The continuous shuffle is the death rattle of the human race Strive and toil for her pleasure Your strain and agony are her delight Work your bodies until they break And know in your mind you are never good enough Blood and broken bones are the price you pay to live No other reward than to build up Babylon A lifelong enslavement from cradle to grave The laughter of your mistress echo in the dark So convincing is the method to push you forward You want to work to death, you want to be worthy Follow the leader off the cliffs into the fire Never questioning the path as your skin begins to burn Strive and toil for her pleasure Your strain and agony are her delight Work your bodies until they break And know in your mind you are never good enough
