Tracks



01. Vortex Macabre

Through the Vortex Macabre
The blind dead travel
As the evil is unleashed
Your weak soul unravels
Looming figures of horror
The templar knights will rise
The absolution of death
Becomes your welcomed demise
Seeking to destroy the mortal flesh
Upon ghoulish steeds they rides
Your heart, your breath betray you
You can run, but you cannot hide

In the Vortex Macabre
The ancient templars remain
Where horrific apparitions
Shall forever reign
In the Vortex Macabre
The ancient templars remain
Where horrific apparitions
Shall forever reign

Violent forces beyond the dark void
Worthless mortals are crushed and destroyed
The templar knights have bled, have fought
Now in the vortex they eternally rot

Vortex macabre
Vortex macabre

Sightless, heartless creatures
From beneath the earth
Resurrection through vengeance
They seek unholy rebirth
The revenge obsessed wraiths
Unleash a murderous rage
Gruesome nightmares are now reality
The blind dead bring endless fatalities

In the Vortex Macabre
The ancient templars remain
Where horrific apparitions
Shall forever reign
In the Vortex Macabre
The ancient templars remain
Where horrific apparitions
Shall forever reign

Vortex macabre
Vortex macabre

02. Effigies Of Evil

Savage butchery in a dreary light
Slain victims laid to rest in unholy ground
Tombs are sealed with the images of man
Buried deep, the dead don't make a sound

Effigies of evil
Have possessed your soul
Effigies of evil
The ancient are in control

Arcane monuments stand guard over decaying flesh
Desolate cemetery, where the dead now rot
Statues reanimate possessed by the dead
Pulsating plasma revives moss-covered stone

Effigies of evil
Have possessed your soul
Effigies of evil
The ancient are in control

03. In The Dead We Dwell

Stampeding horses, the witchhunter's ride
Burnt at the stake is Satan's bride
Creatures of the devil die in the fire
Sinful flesh consumed on the pyre

Black mass, virgin sacrifice
Bloody offering to resurrect an evil vice
We exist only in hell
Consuming, vampiric souls
In the dead we dwell

Blood drips through the cracks of the tomb
Summoning Satan to bring death and doom
Shroud of evil, cloaked in darkness
Twins seduced by the satanic count
Sent by the devil, one of the undead
Bloodthirsty vampire from beyond the grave

Black mass, virgin sacrifice
Bloody offering to resurrect an evil vice
We exist only in hell
Consuming, vampiric souls
In the dead we dwell

Stake through the heart and decapitation
Brings an end to the servants of Satan

Black mass, virgin sacrifice
Bloody offering to resurrect an evil vice
We exist only in hell
Consuming, vampiric souls
In the dead we dwell

In the dead we dwell

04. Curses Scribed In Gore

Queen of darkness
Meets her mortal fate
Close the tomb
Before her curse escapes
Mummified corpse
With the blood of Isis
Desecration of the body
Can't stop the crisis

Queen of evil
Queen of serpents
Ancient tablets
Scribed with curses
Queen of evil
Inflicting terror
Ancient tablets
Scribed in gore

Rotting relics
Keys to resurrection
Cobra's poison
Spreads infection
Force of evil from beyond the grave
Moral victims are now her slave

Queen of evil
Queen of serpents
Ancient tablets
Scribed with curses
Queen of evil
Inflicting terror
Ancient tablets
Scribed in gore

Queen of darkness
Meets her mortal fate
Close the tomb
Before the curse escapes
Force of evil from beyond the grave
Mortal victims are now her slave

Queen of evil
Queen of serpents
Ancient tablets
Scribed with curses
Queen of evil
Inflicting terror
Ancient tablets
Scribed in gore

05. Crumbling Insanity

Morbid fears trapped inside rotting walls
Shrieks of insanity fill cryptic halls
Warped vision inside a demented brain
Barbaric atrocities of the insane
Cursed bloodlines succumb to madness
Usher blood tainted with evil
Decaying mind obsessed with fear
The hour of doom is drawing near

House of the damned, house of the cursed
"If the house dies, I shall die with it"

Behind decrepit walls is where you dwell
Held like a prisoner in a living hell
Strange afflictions plagued by torment
Cracks in the stone where souls lie dormant
Bizarre insanity, a twisted soul
Tortured existence in a festering hole
Entombed in a crypt, sealing your fate
Buried alive, you must now escape
Impending death consuming your thoughts
Surrounded by misery as your mind rots
Crumbling insanity, crumbling stones
House lies shattered like a pile of bones

House of the damned, house of the cursed
"If the house dies, I shall die with it"

06. Summoned Into Euphoric Madness

Infant raised by a pack of wolves
Evolving part man, part beast, deranged
Wolf blood
Full moon summons his urge to kill
Doomed by the genome
An ancestral curse
Legend of the lycanthrope
Transmutation under a full moon

Deranged wolfman, blood curses howl
Ear shattering screams of the fallen victims
Enraged lunatic on the prowl
Possessed by the wolf
Fangs pierce flesh
Gore drips from blood-soaked claws
Monstrous massacre
Growling maniac
Throat torn out in the wolfman's jaws

Legend of the lycanthrope
Summoned into euphoric madness
Summoned into euphoric madness

07. Evoken Vulgarity

Castle of the devil
In human agony you revel
Murdered victims are hung and impaled
Upon a spike your corpse is nailed

Chamber is filled with gruesome devices
To satisfy the Baron's sadistic vices
A mangled corpse for all to see
Torture chamber atrocity

"Cursed by a witch...
The Baron will suffer a horrible death
Burned alive in his chamber of horrors..."

Evoken vulgarity
Evoken vulgarity

[Female voice]

Resurrected from the dead
By a cursed incantation
The evil Baron lives again
For torture and mutilation

Recite the words by the witching hour
Awaken Baron with immortal power
From the grave a decomposed body crawls
Eerie spectre peers from castle walls

Ruthless killer stalking
Rotten wounds seep putrid blood
The Baron is on a killing spree
Torture chamber atrocity

Evoken vulgarity
Evoken vulgarity

08. Retribution In Eternity

[Instrumental]
