Freeze in the stare of the cold, full moon
And burn in the glare of the judging sun Spill the blood down the serpent's stairs You'll never be free until you break away No streets of gold with the Lavey-athan No pearly gates with the Lavey-athan Slit the throat of the offering lamb And hang the thralls from the holy branch Congregate in the circle of stone But you're just a piece of shit seen from the holy throne Bow to your genetic needs Revel in the comfort of a prophecy Surrender reason for dependency Nurse at the bosom of divinity Shrouded in the clouds or in the heavens above Dwelling in the deep or on a mountain top Ambiguous writings lead the thousands by the hand Get your sense of purpose from the clergy man 02. Zoroast
There's a breeze in the midnight air
Eyes are weary but still I stare Atop a tower I hold my watch For planets in line and suns that burst Aaaarrrgh... Bring forth the undoing of this world Ba'al, Lord, claim thy prize!! The sky is never what it seems Stars align, the end of time The Beasts' they live inside your dreams There's a full moon rising Studies burn the midnight oil Over charts and algebra I pour My work parades the signs from God Come save thy servant, oh Ba'al! Come forth the signs beyond our Earth Blessed Ba'al and Marduk, for thee I search 03. Netherworld Emperor
From my blackened chariot I travel my domain
Slaves and subjugates, they tremble at my name I've lived one thousand lives and will live one thousand more I rule this Netherworld, I am the Emperor Black and damp, my land resides, on cloven hoof, across we stride An Iron Fist, to rule this world, the might is mine - to rule and to reign To rule and to reign! Thunder shakes the mountains high, and lightning fills the sky Eclipse the work of God and surpass his feeble try Victorious on we march, for none shall us defy Save your breath of misery, save your pitiful cries Cower in your House of God, your faith is now all too vain Sweep aside the weep of pray, I enter now - to rule and to reign Creation! Damnation! Crack the whip - of intolerance Eternal life - of abolishment Ambassador - of deceit To orchestrate - your defeat Revel in - hypocrisy 04. Nosferatu
From a sleep to a slumber, now wide awake
Hear it whisper at your door Now back from the brink of extinction Eradicated no more In the hall of the kings once mighty Impotence and ignorance A tendency for negligence Pitchforks brandished in an age of distrust Let the sands drink the blood Fear of the plague makes hostility just Dance around the golden calf Resurrect the undead for the battle A million move as one It has just begun See evil walk See evil talk See evil rule Nosferatu Behold the sun set instead of rising Addiction spreads for the easy way out Fires lit, sets the stage for the rally Hang the noose around your throat One step from here to the unknown Indifference and assumption A recipe for corruption See evil walk See evil talk See evil rule Nosferatu Failing in relevancy Embrace your soon corpse to be You'll be an accessory accomplice to a mass degree Oblivion, welcome me See evil walk See evil talk See evil rule Nosferatu 05. The Burning Of Salem
Villagers gathered 'round the witches trail
Holds the signs of mass hysteria Women scorned, and kinds accused Reason is left when the mob's to rule A trial is held, a travesty A show of power from the ministry Neighbor rat on neighbor as the act of a devout Eager to seem more pious so they sell each other out Accusations, to vilify Perjury to save your life Random acts of heresy Heinous accounts of devilry So burn By the powers vested in me God's will be done, zealously Verbal abuse roars from the stands Once on trial there's no legal chance Faith is held at the maximum Praise the Lord, his will be done So-called victims made to testify Bearing witness of the Devil's might So burn By the powers vested in me God's will be done, tirelessly "In the year of our Lord June 2nd, 1692 I, William Stoughton, chief magistrate of this Grand Jury Find you all guilty, as charged, of acts of witchcraft and heresy I sentence you all to be hanged by the neck Until you are dead May God have mercy on your souls." So burn By the powers vested in me God's will be done, endlessly 06. Gilded Fang
Starting with a whisper, deep in the night
Jumping from the rooftops - they swarm in evil might Clawing at your window, clawing at your door Lusting for your blood and they only want more Obey and raise the gilded fang Together, we will bleed the land Bitten by a bearer, smitten by their thirst Driven by a hunger, that'll make your jugular burst Trapped in a corner, you know you cannot flee Bid farewell to your sanity Obey and raise the gilded fang Together, we will bleed the land Feel the fever burn, burn in your veins Feel the hunger yearn, slowly go insane Feel the fever burn Feel the fever burn Running with the pack now your former life has past You are now immortal, learn the Hunter's craft Can you hear them singing? The creatures of the night Praise the gilded fang, bask in its might Obey and raise the gilded fang Together, we will bleed the land 07. Empty Tombs
Gabriel, his trumpets blows
The end of days, the darkness glows The rise of seas, and mountain falls The dead shall rise - judgement to all! There's a hole in the sky There's a quake of the Earth Nowhere to hide Nowhere to run All tombs are empty! All tombs are empty! On that final day... All tombs are empty Angels usher forth the heard Your deeds are about to be heard Tremble in fear of the scale Tipping the scales - descend into Hell The restless Dead - now leave their beds Insurmountable light of God Pass thy judgement onto all The meek will inherit the lands The rest the fires will fan Empty - empty tombs! Empty - empty tombs! 08. In Warm Blood
Bend forward and uncover your arms
This will only take a second Little girl, there's no need for alarm, approach the tub When you're beckoned Gather round the young ones now They will make you stronger Hold the key to immortal life Wither away no longer Aarrgh. Wash the countess, in warm blood Elizabeth Bathory Oh but hey, wipe those tears away You want to follow your friends, don't you? They're back below, playing outside the keep Now hurry up to join them Maybe you'd want to look away? But see, it was almost painless You feel sleepy, yes, so please have nap Join your friends slumbering dreamless See the steam from the gilded tub rise The taste the metal is rich in the air Candles barely lit the darkened room As the inner door swings open Enter Countess, and drop your robe Slip into the pool of life Hold the chalice, above your head Baptize yourself a beautiful red Aahh... rise up and behold your reflection Drenched in blood, a woman of perfection 09. Escape From Dunwich Valley
"Who are you to tread these lands?"
Your presence is not welcomed here The residents here are not to be disturbed Now run, run, before they awake The unspeakable dread of the deep Right now they're restless in their sleep The signs are rife It's a deathlike night Fear of the deep Chills run down your spine Something is moving there in the dark Is it too late to get out? The hunt might already be on its way Silent feet, prepare to attack Running fast through black But the forest on its own is holding you back There are places of sleep hidden in the deep Never meant to be provoked The old world does not fit with ours Escape - from Dunwich Valley Escape - from Dunwich Valley 10. Feed The Gun
Grab that rifle and buckle that strap
Keep your head down and prepare to attack A million men are waiting along the line A million men are waiting along to die for... what!? When you hear that whistle sound the guns will roar - like never before So get up, get out and gain that ground - now! Not a single step back - attack! Feed the gun I said hey Feed the gun Starring out at no man's land, the darkness rips apart - and the shelling starts Mausers and the Maxims rip through swaths of men Not a single step back - defend! Feed the gun I said hey Feed the gun Feed the gun Dry bones will litter this ground Feed the gun A nationwide funeral mound 11. Oath Breaker
Who are you to break the oath?
You know the punishment... The sentence has been cast A traitor will never last No one will stand in our way Victory will be ours We wait just out of sight You will know when our - time has come An oath is sworn - do what has to be done... An oath is sworn, the dice are cast Each day might be our last Hidden signs with hidden consequence Whispered words and blind obedience - blind obedience Order - the time of consequence has come Execute - approach the traitor as one Candles burn - daggers jab - curses heard Silence falls - a life is had - the oath is all |
