01. Offensive Mob

Time is here and time is now
Don’t look back and don’t ask how
Jump in the pit, end this war
Give your soul, I settle the score
Surf and jump and hold your breath
Storm into my wall of death
Offensive mob speeds at night
Offensive mob rules at night

Vortex of the black flames
Vortex of the black flames
There’s no hiding from it
Armageddon’s here
Armageddon’s here
There’s no hiding from it
Castigation, retribution, annihilation, death
There’s no hiding from it

Destroyer, is this the end?
Destroyer, is this the end?
Destroyer is this the end?
Destroyer, this is the end!

Your pharaohs, mummies overturned
Marduk clenches his Imhullu
Cybele’s children left to die
Ashened face, Anu cried
Burnt
Ashened
Scarred
Bruised
Cut
Bled
Perished
Doomed

Cursed Mankind … Exited!

Time is here and time is now
Don’t look back and don’t ask how
Jump in the pit, end this war
Give your soul, I settle the score
Surf and jump and hold your breath
Storm into my wall of death
Offensive mob speeds at night
Offensive mob rules at night

Vortex of the black flames
Vortex of the black flames
There’s no hiding from it
Armageddon’s here
Armageddon’s here
There’s no hiding from it
Castigation, retribution, annihilation, death
There’s no hiding from it

Destroyer, is this the end?
Destroyer, is this the end?
Destroyer is this the end?
Destroyer, this is the end!

Your pharaohs, mummies overturned
Marduk clenches his Imhullu
Cybele’s children left to die
Ashened face, Anu cried
Burnt
Ashened
Scarred
Bruised
Cut
Bled
Perished
Doomed

02. Babylon

Ubiquitous eyes
Resurrecter rise
Euphrates rage
Ca-dimirra cleft
I shall shew unto thee
The judgment of the great whore
Siseth upon many waves
Unholy Trinity’s first-born
Hanging garden, seven hills
Tornadic flash, waves sealed her sight
Ubiquitous eyes
Resurrecter rise

Crimson goddess sail on
Sail on Nippur’s hope and freedom
Amorite preacher babble on
Our salient writ and storied oath
Promise of sacred cuneiform
Lunatic scarred Hammurabi
Hillah’s saghi pour on
Sweet wine of your fornication

Ubiquitous eyes
Resurrecter rise
Leaching into Ishtar
Gates are open wide
Sixty ferocious lions on each side
Forty-six bricks for each one
Ten and a one rows she lined up
Yeah, Babylon made her Babylon
Seeing is not believing
Many a moon, cryptic claw caressed her
Ubiquitous eyes
Resurrecter rise

Crimson goddess sail on
Sail on Nippur’s hope and freedom
Amorite preacher babble on
Our salient writ and storied oath
Promise of sacred cuneiform
Lunatic scarred Hammurabi
Hillah’s saghi pour on
Sweet wine of your fornication

Run, fly, fade, hide, wane, flag out
Oblivion seek, forget this rout
Purgatory unleashed, Akkad is done, it’s over
Count your blessings, be and stay wise
Resurrection is a lie
Stones on tombs remain, they don’t roll on, no angel’s coming down

No angel’s coming down
No angel’s coming down
No angel’s coming down
No angel’s coming down
No angel’s coming down

03. Wake Up The Darkness

Dead, dead, dead, dead, they all died
Lava’d wasteland, gray skies cried
Gods of old times scattered scared
One by one they all fall down

Sick, sick, sick, sick of your silence
Rise and cut the threads of your reliance
Break free, emerge from that murk now
You’re not a particle, you’re not that

Just one chance left, a petite secret
When he touches his scars, he sheds a tear
Your hidden hope: his scars and tears
He broods, you rise! Once in a thousand years

No need for cure ‘cause there is no disease
No need for penance ‘cause there is no sin
Hades took his throne, he is the king
Break the curse, wake up, wake up the darkness

Now! lie the fragments of the gods
Those who knelt and those who covet his house
Jealous gods frowned upon his kingdom
Where the hell and who are you now?

Tick, leech, liar, thief, you peasant, you fool
What did you do to the king was cruel
Immortal we are, but mankind is no more
Cowards, couldn’t stand he’s greater than you

Die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die
You fucking bastards, to him you’re not gods
Deity of yours was the essence of the mankind
The last of us, last of man, in that jar he smashed

No need for cure ‘cause there is no disease
No need for penance ‘cause there is no sin
Hades took his throne, he is the king
Break the curse, wake up, wake up the darkness

Wake up the darkness
Wake up the darkness

04. All For Cliff

All for Cliff, all for one
All for Cliff, all for one

Kill them all, Cliff them all
Kill them all, Cliff them all
All for Cliff, all for one
Underground is waking, underground is shaking
All for Cliff, all for one
Tribute to Metallica, can’t believe this is happening
All for Cliff, all for one

Kill them all, Cliff them all
Kill them all, Cliff them all

Master created the battery to keep our sanity
Metal Messiah! Metal Messiah!

Master created the battery to keep our sanity
Metal Messiah! Metal Messiah!

All for Cliff, all for one
All for Cliff, all for one
All for Cliff, all for one
All for Cliff, all for one

Metal child of prodigy, metal child of prophecy
All for Cliff, all for one
His spirit is among us, he never left Metallica
All for Cliff, all for one
Through the never now I see, in that bag Cliff’s spirit is
All for Cliff, all for one
Kill them all, Cliff them all
Kill them all, Cliff them all

Master created the Orion to deal with the agony within
Metal Messiah! Metal Messiah!
Lives on! On and on and
Master created the Orion to deal with the agony within
Metal Messiah! Metal Messiah!
Lives on! On and on and on

All for Cliff, all for one
All for Cliff, all for one

05. Blind Ambition

Blind ambition is my name
All my foes have fallen
Thanks to heroes, my soldiers will
Fight ‘til the end

Time has come to fight and die
God is calling! Soldiers die but not in vain
Why God only chose the poor and not rich?

Caecus, Cupiditas, Veres Militares!
Caecus, Cupiditas, Veres Militares!
Caecus, Cupiditas, Veres Militares!
Caecus, Cupiditas, Veres Militares!
Caecus, Cupiditas, Veres Militares!
Caecus, Cupiditas, Veres Militares!

Life’s a game and I’m the rules
You know my name
Peace comes only through the war
I’m not to blame

Burned bridges were meant to fall
New bridges I built
Of an unnecessary war
Great is the guilt

Time has come to fight and die
God is calling! Soldiers die but not in vain
Why God only chose the poor and not rich?

War: first, one hopes to win
In the end, one’s surprised
Surprised that everyone has lost
War pigs compromised

Time has come to fight and die
God is calling! Soldiers die but not in vain
Why God only chose the poor and not rich?
