01. Death Procession

[Instrumental]

02. Demon Preacher

Evil is amongst us
It's walked through the mists of time
A trail of devastation
Follows close behind
Taking shape in human form
The leader of the damned
Those who question - feel the wrath

Death deals out its winning hand
Demon-demon preacher
Hidden by mortal disguise
Gaining strength from bloodshed
Consuming countless lives

Orders drip with venom
The mindless ones obey
A mission of destruction
Bringing near the darkest day
Death march procession
Walking off the edge
The body count piles higher
A mountain built from flesh

A message written in blood
Through the pages of history
The warning is there for us all
Yet many fail to see
Empires rise and fall
Dictators reign and die
But the evil spirit lives immortal
Until the end of time

03. Carrion

Self made gods walk the earth
Fate has cursed us with their birth
Ravage destroy slaughter devour
Nothing can stop their quest for power

We are ruled by madmen
Who blind us with their lies
They lead us into darkness
Hear the helpless cries

Feasting on the carrion
Tearing at our flesh
The scavengers will feed upon the carcass
Until there's nothing left

Life is drained from the poor
Lands laid waste by tides of war
They have the power to end it all
But Stony Silence Greets Our Call

And so the earth will turn to dust
A price we'll pay for their lust
The world cries out for sanity
But the eyes of reason cannot see

04. Visions Of Insanity

A scream of torture - pain and torment
Lays before my eyes
The sea of dead and slowly dying
Deafened by their silent cries
Calling me towards them
The tide of death sweeps near
Burning in the flames of madness
Paralysed by blinding fear

Screaming out in agony
Clawing at my eyes
Praying for salvation
Each day I slowly die
My mind possessed by demons
My spirit locked away
The world around me falls apart
The air hangs heavy with the stench of decay

Visions of insanity
Tear apart my head
Searching for a way to escape
But the only way is death

Falling from reality
Into another place
Corpses all around me
Laughing at my face
Fleeing from the horrors
Crying out in pain
Lost in a land of darkness
Bound by mental chains

I break into the real world
Blinded by the light
Yet tendrils reach out to drag me back
Back into the eternal night
It's time to face the answer
Exorcise these visions
Escape the realms of madness
Enter sweet oblivion

Visions of insanity
Tear apart my head
There's only one way for me to escape
It's time to meet my death

05. Symptom Of The Universe

Take me through the centuries to supersonic years
Electrifying enemy is drowning in his tears
All I have to give you is a love that never dies
The symptom of the universe is written in your eyes

Yeah

Mother mooch is calling me back to her silver womb
Father of creation takes me from my stolen tomb
Seventh night the unicorn is waiting in the skies
A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies

Yeah

Take my hand, my child of love come step inside my tears
Swim the magic ocean I've been crying all these years
When our love will ride away into eternal skies
A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies

Yeah

Oh my child of love's creation, come and step inside my dreams
In your eyes I see no sadness, you are all that loving means
Take my hand and we'll go riding through the sunshine from above
We'll find happiness together in the summer skies of love

06. Wall Of Lies

Stick around and play the game
But you'll find no solution
Everyday's just like the last
You're dying on your feet
Fight the lies and fight the hate
As time keeps going faster
Keep control of your destiny
You're fighting for your life

Behind a wall of lies
They plot and scheme their evil
Intimidation - your indoctrination
Elaborate deception - you're under control
And everywhere you turn
Every place you seek the truth
You will find nothing but lies - broken promises
Lust, greed and violence
There's blood on their hands

They will try to trick you
Try to turn your mind around
They will try to break you
Chew you up and spit you out
And when you've given all you can
They'll want a little more
You've got to fight for every inch
Of what is already yours

I think you see what lies ahead
Your hope for times to come slowly leaving
The poison reaches everywhere
Drains the strength to keep believing
And so the future looks so cold
Can't you feel the grip is tightening
No way left to break the hold
You realise what it means - it's frightening

You have no protection
From the evil twisted minds
They'll change the rules to suit themselves
That's what they think the law is for
And as the death count rises
From the latest fucking war
You can almost hear them laughing
From behind the wall of lies

07. Prey To The Lord

Pounding death raining down
Judgement day is here
Holocaust - the will of God
Sinner let your heart know fear
Vengeance falls from the sky
To purify the earth
The saviour shall soon be with us
The second coming - the second birth

Come and join the holy ones
Sing your praise towards the sky
The pure of heart shall rise up
He won't let us die

Heathen suffer it is your fate
Torment is yours for eternity
Falling into the abyss
Burning in the flaming sea
The almighty force is coming
This hell on earth will disappear
A cleansed pure world shall emerge
Rejoice for the time comes ever near

Listen to our words of wisdom
You cannot doubt the prophecy
It's the 11-th hour for repentance
Disbeliever you shall see
(Heathen the cross can't be denied)
(Heathen your time has come to die)

Burn, burn pay for your sin
Cry out for mercy - pray to the lord
Watch your empires fall to the ground
Writhe in the ashes of your world
Soon the light will part the sky
Cascading its rays of purity
Washing away the sins of man
The kingdom of heaven will rise

Blind faith is diminishing
As the days drag slowly by
Hell on earth still remains
Where is the help from the sky?
The horror of realisation
Anguished cries - blinding pain
There is no second coming
Their minds now broken and insane

Gathered in the ruined church
They plea towards the sky
The pure of heart are fading
Their God leaves them to die

08. Fatal Attraction

Living in fear - fighting your instincts
How long can you last
Make just one mistake
And the sentence of death is passed
Too difficult to control
The lust inside you burns
It's too late to turn back
The path of no return

Bathe in the fire
Then you must pay
The curse will be in you
Life drains away
Fatal attraction
Now you're possessed
Fatal attraction
Harbinger of death

Death's angel circles above
Waiting for its feast
You're playing a game of Russian roulette
How long till the bullet is released
Just one passing moment
And all will be lost
Make love with the reaper
Your life is the cost

Now your strength is leaving
There's no time left to borrow
Fading into yesterday
For you there's no tomorrow
Just one deadly moment
Now all has been lost
You slept with the reaper
Your life was the cost

You bathed in the fire
Now you must pay
The curse is within you
Life drains away
Fatal attraction
There's no hope left
Fatal attraction
Harbinger of death

09. Past Life
