Paths Of Possession - Promises In Blood lyrics



Tracks



01. Darklands

Come, welcome to the darklands

Regions of darkness untouched by god
Miles of nothing to practice my art
Pain, I'm in charge of pain, my home

Too far for the living too close for the dead
Your eyes will see the horror
Madness will take you long before you die
You will never die

Collecting their souls become my slaves
Welcome to my paradise where decades are days
The flames you will call them home
I welcome you

Too far for the living too close for the dead
Fortress for unholy penance
Inside well take you far beyond known pain

Hate breathing in my veins

I like the killing man is my game
Mortals angels they all die the same
Scream I love to hear them scream

Long ago when the battle raged
Were cast out in shame
The time is near take arms and fight with me

02. Butcher's Bargain

I have traveled to the point of exhaustion now I'm here
Many nights I have tried to justify what I feel
I have killed your father, I have killed your friends, I killed them all

War-has been declared on all you love
War-will never end until you die
War-will never end

I count crushed faces in my mind, all who you know
Torn bodies left behind all dead
Their festering corpse all their blood is on your hands
My father, my father

Many nights I have tried to justify what I do
I've tried to feel and I've tried to love, all it brings me is pain

I'm coming apart
Forced feelings of emptiness
Tried to feed my lust on the blood of your family
Ive stared in their eyes
Lifeless and hollow
Everyone Ive killed they wore your face

Life is my only tragedy
No one here to share my fate
All I want from you is another like me

And for this precious gift
I will grant peace to you and all your kind
Forever away from the world of men

03. Bleed The Meek

Doom
After the ageless doom
Mankind resurfaces
And all the lefts that are left
Will right the rights with
Blood

Searing through the years
You claim inheritance
You claim that all there is
Is promised for you
There's no one, no there has never been anyone
Who can save you

I commend you pain
All your hopes draining empty

There's no one, no there's never been anyone
Who will save you

I commend your pain
Your numbers are thinning and
All your dreams are coagulating
Slow

Full of hate our lasting will punish you hard

And the darkness that surrounds me
I am wolf hear me
Roar
On through your sleepless nights
By burns you all will be purified
I am wolf, see me

Hunting through the fields
You faith will not continue
Until you everlasting eyes are scalded

We came with the wind
Survivors of the dust
Sometime our master will beckon us home
But until then
We are to cleanse this land
We are awaiting the awakening hearts
Of doom
Your doom

I can see the enemy advancement
And their numbers are stretched thin

04. The Second Coming

Blood slowly fills the sky
As the angels start to burn
Heavens awakening shackled still to his hand

Rip at the womb to flush out the child
Of the unfaithful whore
Laying in waste for a derelict world
Legs spread wide for the times

Raping the wounds for unholy release
To impregnate our seed
I can feel you twitching inside
Our king shall be born

Warm winds carry me over forgotten spires
Through the shrines of pestilence
To the ones prepared for war

Our king

Now we watch the birth of silent red rage
Slowly we fall to our knees
He walks past and speaks to me
Rise now and sentence the son

Then kill the Christian clowns
Reclaim now
Our world suffocated by the wings of light
The angels are rising can you smell the stench of fear

We have waited so long
From the edges of time
A disease in his mind

All will burn

05. Where The Empty Gods Lie

Awoke from the earth
A vengeance from the silent ones
Rise to the malevolence in his eyes for the right
Burning a path
Marching towards an epitaph
It lays fires in the wake of the destruction and the art
The art

The art, bow to the arrogance

Flesh gears start to turn
And the nightmare begins anew for you
So pray to the emptiness in the gods for your life

The art, beg for the punishment
In the grind
Ground into nothingness

Forced into hell, can you
Show them where the empty gods lie

Weak are falling prey
Smell the burning of the innocents
Captured like some rats, they are screaming for their lives
And out from the gods
Comes the silent hand of nothingness
Doing nothing, saying nothing, wheres your faith now

Human ashes fall like rain
A curse for the empty gods, you are all a lie

Lost and alone in the emptiest kind of hell
Lost and alone you writhe

06. Heart For A Heart

I cannot count the number you'll reproduce
From the violation, an art that is ages old
One thing is all I have left to give to you
My seed, and the birth will follow suit

Heart, I'll have your heart
They'll rip your heart from you
And throw it on the ground

I have seen all of your petty crosses tonight
They'll never stop the likes of me
Her belly grows and she begins to scream in agony
Her vagina splits, and her offspring drop to the floor

Blood, I want what's owed me
Blood, I'll have what's owed me

There is a shadow, and it's moving in the dark
Moving silently, until it can taste its prey
It is upon her now, her eyes are horrorstruck

Blood, I have my blood
It's in her breat, it's flowing fresh for me
Morbid nourishment

One, that's all she's had
Wait there's one more, wait, there's two more.

Heart, I'll have your heart
They'll rip your heart from you
And throw it on the ground

Now that you have finished giving birth
You're the mother of mans downfall
Blood spurts from the gaping wound that used to be her breast
Cry out, that breath will be your last

Heart for a heart
Heart for a heart

Dying now the whore looks for us
But we're not there anymore

07. In My Eyes

In my eyes I see through fury
A gaze from hell
The legions of your lord are turning
You built your church upon our lands, unholy lands
Your cross forced upside down and burning
In my eyes

Winters heavy here - but blood melts snow
Regiments from the south - drove up hard
Killing ceaselessly - burning towns
Toppled all our shrines and they drove them to the ground
In my eyes

All retaliate - drive them back
Swords will sing when wetted in their flesh
Drive them to their doorsteps - burn their lands
Stare them in their eyes and lets remind them of our home

How can I not see

In my eyes I see through fury
A gaze from hell
At last the rage inside is churning
Your built your church upon our lands, unholy lands
Your priest pinned upside down and burning
He's burning!
In my eyes

Winters heavy here, but blood melts snow
As the years go by, the wounds don't heal
Retribution beckons, calls me home
Forefathers know this; they will never know peace here
How can I not see, now can I not see, how can I not see
In my eyes I see through fury

09. Promises In Blood

From the birth of Gods
We have traveled long
Have you come to bleed
Or have you come to learn

No doors, just bodies, will open up my realm
Peel back the flesh, the stench leaks out
It won't be long

Call forth upon me, rain it falls like maggots from a body bag
A lone existence, a cold dark resistance
The ancient summons chant it fulls my lungs
I'm alive!

Ten thousand years of slumbering
You spoke the words to awaken me
Crawling forth from the bowels of the shadow
I spent time in eternal fire

One look inside me, you'll find where evil lies
Crawl back and feel the power burn, surge inside
You'll feel immortal; You are my host
I'll grant you power endlessly
As I slip inside the dominance will take control
Body will burn, one look inside you
I see a path of everlasting amnesty
Fall into the darkest corners of your mind, dead inside you'll

Be when I come
My friend, my friend

Live here with me, I will need you to stand
Feed on the dead flesh to nourish the man...
What man?

Rage forth in the hours twilight
Speak through speech you've never learned
Running through your thoughts desire of controlling me
I spent time in eternal damning fire

Or have you come to learn
Have you come to die

Ten thousand years of slumbering
I thank you for the awakening
Flashing through your mind, the truth of the summoning
Welcome to my world, now suffer!

No doors, just bodies, will open up my realm
Peel back the flesh the stench leaks out
It won't be long

Call forth upon me, rain it falls like maggots from a body bag
A lone existence, a cold dark resistance
The ancient summons chant it fills
My lungs, they spring to life, they're all I need to
Crawl inside your soul, I will be your
Master inside

10. Bring Me The Head Of Christ

Marching onward with one cause in mind
Christians will die!
Running, screaming, fleeing in fear
Run for your pathetic lives
Streets are wet with the blood of life

Bring me the head of Christ
All sheep fall on your knees
Bow

Trudging through the halls with weapons in hand
Call down your God of lies
We will come, welcome to your demise

Bring me the head of Christ
Burn he will for all time
Crawling through the grass
Weeping in fear, we've found him
Bring me the head of Christ
Begging now for his life
Grab him, take him, crying in fear, cry for me now

Cry

11. Through The Fiery Halls

I've stared at the wind
For what feels like forever now
And all I wait for is you
The icy flow of death
come
Life was forced upon me
Abandonment, people ran afraid
I scrambled for air
But only reached a bloody path
All are withered and gone

All but us - now we are the same
I have waited for you
Come to kill me father

Come, come for me
I'll take you home, I'll take you down with me

You have taken from me everything that I could have been
I have taken from you everything that you ever were

Come - Share with me your emptiness
Share with me your desires
Come - Share will me all that you are now

You have taken from me everything that I could have been
I have taken from you everything that you ever were

Come - Share with me your rage inside
Share with me all your hate
Come - Share with me all that you thought you were

Cold - Death's coming soon

Come - Share with me your emptiness
Share with me your desires
Come - Share with me all that you thought you were

Now we are alone at last
Hopelessness - A swelling fear inside
We are facing the end
Father listen - Can you hear it come

A burning blaze - Set upon your grave
A burning blaze - Set upon your grave

12. The Icy Flow Of Death

I've stared at the wind
For what feels like forever now
And all I wait for is you
The icy flow of death come
Life was forced upon me
Abandonment, people ran afraid
I scrambled for air
But only reached a bloody path
All are withered and gone

All but us - now we are the same
I have waited for you
Come to kill me father

Come, come for me
I'll take you home, I'll take you down with me

You have taken from me everything that I could have been
I have taken from you everything that you ever were

Come - Share with me your emptiness
Share with me your desires
Come - Share will me all that you are now

You have taken from me everything that I could have been
I have taken from you everything that you ever were

Come - Share with me your rage inside
Share with me all your hate
Come - Share with me all that you thought you were

Cold - Death's coming soon

Come - Share with me your emptiness
Share with me your desires
Come - Share with me all that you thought you were

Now we are alone at last
Hopelessness - A swelling fear inside
We are facing the end
Father listen - Can you hear it come

A burning blaze - Set upon your grave
A burning blaze - Set upon your grave
