Tracks



01. Beast Of Fire

Thou whom they call the desolate one
Thy face we need not see
For thy presence is yet so clear (in every murder and crime)
Thou who shall grant us the fatal wind
And bestow us the light that is not
Opposer beyond the veil of the void.

Ascend, oh beast of fire!
Torch now this world so tired
Thy will is our desire
My heart is thine.

On parchment made from a stillborn child
Drawn in blood is the seal of thine
My prayers are aimed at the highest of might
To take on the world and withdraw false light
You kill and you rape the illusions of clay
You break the cycle of life

Ascend, oh beast of fire!
Torch now this world so tired
Thy will is our desire
My heart is thine.

Unbearable sight
Enslavement the plague that has conquered us all
For the first of crimes
Withdrawal the sentence which all shall abide
Those phosphorous eyes
Forging the furnace of the ending of time
Accuser divine
Our swords in thy name now world shall divide!

Lands ablaze, writhing in vain
Choirs sing, welcome his reign

'Foes behold the wrath of our lord, shrouding fast, mowing all cords'

Oh, free me from their stillborn god
Who rapes our minds and steels our thoughts
Descend now with the brightest of light
And set afire this world plagued by plight

Ascend, oh beast of fire!
Torch now this world so tired
Thy will is our desire
My heart is thine.

02. Infinite Descension

Come little child float into my damnation
Swallow my venomous spit so that you can see
We fall and fall in the shape of bleak abominations
I descend forever, befriend now the darkness that took me

The foundation's begun to tremble and shake
For each crime I commit the more I awake
Some see a heart of stone, I see stone walls collapsing
And floods of blood sipping through the barrier
From the other side, to stain a murderer's path

When you fell from heaven's heights, the blood they cried was like mine
And like that of the sacrifice to the ever shining light

Through the cracks I can see hope ride on devil wings
For in the kingdom of the damned the dead is king
Enemy of faithfuls, amidst your sphere I fall
My poisoned dagger gleams, I wish the death of all.

Into the abyss I yearn, depravation is my crown.
As eyes are plucked out, as on his altar flesh is laid down
Souls of children thrown into the great cold dark
Our hungry void like a gape just waiting to consume.

Your earthly breed unto your chains eternally condemned
Can't fight the tumour that is me and thousands alike
For your ways are watched by the evil eye
Only peace found is in the dirt to eternal lie

You were a stone, oh you were a foundation
Leaving a hole now the crown of its creation
You got to learn the true saviour is the one to wield the scythe
You got to see the most prosperous sight is no sight
You got to see the peace to be found in the eternal dead night

When you fell from heaven's heights, the blood they cried was like mine
And like that of the sacrifice to the ever shining light

03. The Wilderness Beyond

[Instrumental]

04. Bloodbath

Oh, the earth is quaking
Reborn through oblivion in fire we stand
The last drops of Lethe
Vaporized with the core of illusions...for all time!

And we bath in the archon's sweet blood
Through the endless great waters without fear we've striven
Found our way through your tunnels of creation ridden
And the highest of mountains we've climbed for the last time
To devour and conquer again what is ours...the highest throne!

Shadows are falling all over bright lands, drenched in blood
Heaven is calling now hear ye not, children of god?
Kingdom of pity behold our lord's hand, hail Satan!
The bloodbath of ages awaits you now, children of god

Oh, the ground is shaking
Lifetime of wrath have now taken their toll
And within our reach
Is the end of the world as you think to know it

05. Darkness Forever

Bones feed their fires, and as day turns to night
I am travelling worlds beyond matter
Where all boundaries blur and concede
And where darkness forever conceal
A flame rising higher, and a chill down my spine
It has woken again now within me
Sense the serpent that leads me down there
Where their shadows bring light to my lair

Scorching emptiness
Lightbringing forces beyond
Permeate my self
Shine through me thy son!

World of unrest, now I kiss thee goodbye
I shall journey alone with the night
See the beckoning creatures draw near
They are moving in widdershins manner
Worldless communion with the givers of sight
Showing light in the furthest dim black
Oh, what is it that's closing in there?
It is turning in widdershins manner

Scorching emptiness
Lightbringing forces beyond
Permeate my self
Shine through me thy son!

Where most men never tread, my quest has only just begun
To question my false limits, and gaze forever far beyond

Darkness forever shall guide my path
In confusion I no longer walk
Though I only see strangers around me
Still I know that the fatherland breeds
Forever, and that I shall deny
All the blind men of the status quo
For my fate can be changed through my will
As the movement of light now I still

Scorching emptiness
Lightbringing forces beyond
Permeate my self
Shine through me thy son!

Waves of otherness
Lifetaking stormy beyond
Swallow everything
Blaze, oh Morningstar!

06. The Nightcomers

Night sky is calling, unveiling itself as a flash for our eyes
Oh hungry night, brighter now than ever before
I see them riding, those we've fed since the dawn of time, and side by side
No sea can quench the thirst in their eyes

How life shall cease on this your night, oh storm of might!
How life shall cease on this your night, oh storm of might!

A dreadful sight, for those that can't sense the light
Unholy night, naught shall still the thirst in your eyes

Something's howling in the shadows
Can you feel they are near?

Something is yearning in the shadows now, they must be closer now
And at the time between the time, we shall hear them howl
Oh storm of might, how life shall cease on this your night
The seeds we've sown tonight you reap, as we rejoice

07. The Passion

Behold the crimson skies
No in deep red we are painting your paradise
We walk among you
In a land where all there's to us is the pleasure of your fall
Oh sweet ending of it all!

Let battle now commence
Let's behold your true colours and welcome the ending of your days
And a sign to come
After all our prayers, nothing's gonna be alright
Hear the screams in the night!

The passion burns with evil
The passion dwells in shadows

Ruined, devastated lies the once great house of God
Here our Master's dwelling
Here is praised the Infernal Majesty
Lifeless stare the eyes now of the grand creation's crown
For our god has horns, and his kingdom shall forever be

Watch your children die
With their empty eyes wide open, gazing at the golden shores
Plague spreading 'round you
Our swords are the deadly menace and mark our every word
The worst is yet to come!

08. Der Todesking

I fly through the icy skies this night
I behold mourning trees and landscapes full of sorrow
The pale, grey future of man (an all forgotten tomorrow)

Leafs are falling as they burn, reinforcing suffocation
Their cries for help so weak, the sounds of damnation

Seek the face of the Lord, for you cannot see him and live
Aim for that than which no greater can be thought
And I shall bind you, not in death, but in life
Chained you will be for what will seem an eternity
The shores of hopelessness, unified with life's worthlessness
The distant horizon...its hunger ever present
I am its medium, and my words shall burn the heart of the world
'I die, therefore I am!'

Constant prayers are heard, but noone will ever answer
The empty graves are calling
Can't you hear their laughter?
