1.	Glorify the Butcher 03:32	lyrics	buy track
We come into your land to secure our interest on false premise Dominate and slaughter thousands of people to meet our petty ends The long arm of the government reaches long across the world And we will sing the praises of the minions who carry out their will Bring unto them your sons and daughters for the willing sacrifice To die in service of politics is the noblest of lives Sanctity of human life be damned, the whole world’s our slave Never look into the eyes of your oppressors for then you shall pay Glorify the Butcher Glorify the Butcher Glorify the Butcher Glorify the Butcher So honor the stains of combat no matter what the cause And hold in deep and high esteem those who kill for us Our ruling class stalks the world to satisfy their greed And we must never question why they make us suffer and bleed
2.	Out of the Northern Sea 05:40	lyrics	buy track
We come from distant shores across the northern sea Fearlessly we journey, death we will deal and face The cold and dark has made us vicious We’ve come to raid and plunder, there is terror in our veins We come to claim our right and claim our place in Valhalla Stand fast upon your lands, your blood will soak them soon The gods demand our prowess with axe and with sword The Saxon shields will crumble under our brutal assault We slay their warriors and make them seem weak as lepers Then we’ll have our way with their women and leave our mark forever
3.	Pyroclastic Genocide 05:11	lyrics	buy track
So sickened by walking excrement Our entire species is vile So greedy and piggish serving only themselves Just a matter of time before we’re wiped out No gods above to judge us And none below to damn us Humankind is a plague that must be cured Bore deep into the ground Open up the rivers of fire Pyroclastic genocide Call forth the ancient forces Held deep beneath the earth Pyroclastic genocide No one will be spared on the planet All life extinguished at once The Christians prophesied the end by fire And they were right for once I would erase all the evidence that humans existed And to the void I’d send your souls And free everyone forever of this useless existence And you’d never fucking miss it
4.	Necromorphosis 04:30	lyrics	buy track
I am the living dead And from the grave I rise I am transformed And now I walk again Through death I’ve gained such power Such as I’d never known The darkness in my veins Animates my flesh And though I can be wounded I can never die again I have revived for cruel machinations Walking blasphemy against nature I kill for myself, I have a need for death I send them all to where I cannot return I love the blood flow When the life leaves their eyes I can still they’re confused faces On the other side I’ve never known such pleasure Taking another life And I’m going to keep on killing In sadistic rhapsody
5.	Mutilation for Holiness 03:55	lyrics	buy track
The teeth of the whip tear flesh The blood and pain for God Your body must suffer For your eternal soul Your scars a holy vigil To your willing sacrifice To torture your body In repentance to Christ As you say your holy words you rip your skin anew A piety so arrogant to think this is what you must do A pitiful way for guilty masochists to masturbate for God An empty hollow ritual to satisfy their lusts The infection of sin you’re trying to kill Is deeper than just mere skin Though you’ll keep trying With a cat of nine tails And rip yourself to shreds To believe that your torment is holy in nature So twisted and sick of mind So offer your screams and blood to Jesus And take it out on your hide As you say your holy words you rip your skin anew A piety so arrogant to think this is what you must do A pitiful way for guilty masochists to masturbate for God An empty hollow ritual to satisfy their lusts
6.	Entitled Worm 04:05	lyrics	buy track
Called into being by a force you claim to know so well Who the fuck told you that you were so divine You’re just another snail crawling across this rock I would pay to see you ground under boot So many just like you, and not enough time to kill You are not special, you are not unique Squirming pompous fat maggot slave You are not superior, you are human trash So was it your mother who said you were unique Or maybe your father told you too many lies You’re just a spoiled child, the world owes you nothing Vile pompous swollen slug, I wish to see you burst And was it military service that gave you your god complex Was it killing women and children that made you feel so strong? But the dark is full of terrors, and there are things you cannot control And this realm has a way of chopping you down to size So many just like you, and not enough time to kill You are not special, you are not unique Squirming pompous fat maggot slave You are not superior, you are human trash So keep strutting around, and keep on talking so loudly You won’t see it coming, the knife out of the dark Then you’ll lie dying, choking on your ruptured fluids And then at the final moment, you will know cold
7.	Chaos Enraptured 04:54	lyrics	buy track
Flesh given to entropy Time wasting away Nothing is permanent Nothing is pure Decay so cruel Destroys with no mercy There is no escaping The all-consuming rot I am the destroyer I am the bringer of chaos I am the overwhelming urge to kill I am the pain that makes you suffer I am the darkness I am the absence of hope I am the rust in your bones I am the disease in your mind You cannot escape me I don’t have to run you down There is no solace from the ravages of time And in the end it’s all an illusion
8.	Burnt Flesh Afterbirth 03:22	lyrics	buy track
The coming of the fallen Unborn son of Satan Brought across the threshold Burning into the world The red left hand of judgment Such powerful malevolence The mother dies in agony Screaming on the table Living darkness brought into the world Ushering in the end of days The strong of the world cower in fear At the news of his arrival The laws of nature bend in response to his magics Appointed damnation agent of the human race The black sword of the true nature of God His presence alone causes strife and famine Living darkness brought into the world Ushering in the end of days The strong of the world cower in fear At the news of his arrival Lucifer smiles upon the work of his son The grief and discord leading all to be undone Legions of demons follow his command Unleashed from hell in a burnt flesh afterbirth
9.	Open Satanic Warfare 03:06	lyrics	buy track
Open up the flood gates And let the killing start The streets will run red with blood In chaotic mayhem Burn all the churches, and burn every mosque Burn every last temple of the pitiful gods Now begins the slaughter And millions die in minutes The judgment of our species And all that is within it Open Satanic warfare Across the burning world We burn the followers of god For our species to be cleansed Validation for thousands of years Enslaved to lies passed down Never will we repeat The pointless worship of invented divinity And through our own intervention The human race will evolve The burned corpses add up to mountains But the ends justifies the means Our petty consciousness given to corruption But the countless dead have told We will never again Be slaves to the priests
10.	Crown of Fire 03:34	lyrics	buy track
The raging flames consuming flesh boiling from bone A thoughtless rabid devourer chewing the bone black The condemned scream prayers to the sky in wailing refrain The funeral pyre fueled with desperate screams of the burning Witchcraft Heathen More fuel to feed the fire Black magic Devil worship You must burn to cleanse your soul And upon the ground the ashes of the accused Murder few to save the many Even your dreams can betray you You must burn for the evil within you You must pay permanent penance for your suspected crimes Jesus demands your immediate sacrifice by fire And who are we to go against the wishes of God Witchcraft Heathen More fuel to feed the fire Black magic Devil worship You must burn to cleanse your soul And upon the ground the ashes of the accused Their smoldering cinders smoking They were anointed with a crown of fire
11.	Diabolical Insidious Masquerade 05:31	lyrics	buy track
On the surface we appear as mortal men Our veil of deception allowing us to move among them But in the deepest night, darkened with no moon The creeping shadows have returned The body found in the morning drained of its blood Our tracks are covered, their grief has no outlet We move through the darkness, the daylight burning vicious And at night we feed our pleasure on the life blood of our prey Echoes of the ancient evil flows within our veins The legend of our origins lost for eons And though we must hide from the daylight, our power is immense Just one look in your direction, and you’re under my control Diabolical Insidious Masquerade
