DISC 1

1. PRELUDE OF THE UNHONOUREDFUNERAL

(Instrumental)


2. DEPTHS OF ETERNITY

Weary with concealment from the living
Time to break the eternal rejection
To arise from an unhonoured exile
Purposefully leaving the infinite depths behind

The depths of oblivion
The depths of mystery
The depths of obscurity
The depths of eternity

Contaminating the world with death
Ending lives, the way dying was supposed to be
Deceased guided into engless obscurity
Depths of eternity, terminus of the living dead

Set out for an undead journey
Travelling through desolute domains
A sense of frugality dominates the atmosphere

The depths of oblivion, better to forget
The depths of mystery, complete unawareness
The depths of obscurity, infinite darkness
The depths of eternity, no escape from death


3. EMPERORS OF SALVATION

Imprisoned in imaginative walls
Stoical glances reach no destination
Fallacy, looking for salvation
Points of contact are missing for an etemaly
Bearing the everlasting pain
Hatred and anger, self-respect is frozen

Fearing what's to come
Agonized by mental disillusion
Dilapidated and declined
Is this life or life's destiny
Waiting for that particular salvation
Which can make everything forget

Emperors of salvation

Death is to one's hand
Just a simplistic solution

Surviving is the driving force
But surviving is a hopeless cause
Narrow-minded thoughts far from clean
Completely turned inside oneself, nothing surmised
Mankind's necessity to live is only a side-issue

Waiting for that partcular salvation
Freed from this life of misery
Taken by the emperors of salvation
To commit the body to the ground
Disposed by the ghost of death
The soul will roam eternally


4. 'TIL DEATH DO US APART

The birth of life
A preternatural wedding
Between body and soul
The oath, we all have taken
Perilous to forget
Till death do us part

Cherishing each other
Through sickness and in health
For better and for worse
Till death do us part

Till death do us part
The harbour of souls, left behind
Till death do us part
Dissolving the covenant for life

Violation of the vows, death is soon to come
Divorce is final, your life is no more
Your flesh will decompose and return to nothing
Your soul will vanish to a place, where no man has gone before

No life or after-life
In the spirit world
Only Asphyx will know
Till death do us part


5. INITIATION INTO THE OSSUARY

Entered with perturbation
Unexpected hospitable spirits
An experience by mortals
Threnodies and death-bells

Prevailing silhouettes
At this place of calamity
The ceremony, the exhibition

A lack of sounds
Idiosyncrasy scenes
Without any signs of tangible life

A detached world
The abode of the dead
Originated by transfigurations

Perceptions
Consciously carried out
The initiation into the ossuary

The shining light, subdued by obscurity
Gloryng in inauspicious atmospheres
The environs, ruthless and pertinacious
The ceremony, the exhibition

The unassailable leader of the initiation
Veiled in shrouds and dejected in prayer
The solemnity, surrounded by mysteries
The ritual of death, surrounded by non-attendanse

Prevailing silhouettes
At this place of calamity
The ceremony, the exhibition

A detached world
The abode of the dead
The initiation into the ossuary

Now admitted in the spirit world
No possible way out
Incarcerated in the ossuary
Damned to dwell forevermore


6. INCARCERATED CHIMAERAS

Incessantly prevalent and magnanimous
Fulminate, convincing and inviolable
Lodging the earthly shivers
Determined not to be vanished
Because it's prophesied and destined for ages

The vaultings and ghastly dungeons
A foundation of hell
Conducive to dominate
Against intruders and predestined visitors
Avoiding could save many lives

Phenomena and vaguely perceptible forms
Which are held, couldn't find freedom
Forever hidden from the outer world
By the statical and substantial edifice of evil

Unknown sources
No past, no future
Just visual attendance
No inducements, no destination
Lodging the earthly shivers
In everlasting rapture
Condemned by time
An unbreakable pact

Housing the roamers,
Separated from their bodies
Charged by the master
The one who disposed the ending of a life

Intolerant desperation
A fane of dissatisfaction
Inadequacy, outbursts, tortures
In the most extreme earthly way

No way out and no solution
Doomed to stay, no turning back
Forever hidden from the outer world
By the statical and substantial edifice of evil


7. ABOMINATION ECHOES

(Instrumental)


8. BACK INTO ETERNITY

Hazy prospects, londing for established order
The valleys are calling, fallen into oblivion
To reign and flourish at own environs
No settled conceptions, defined to earthly criteria

Shrouded in mystery, considering the return
To the depths, where the quick won't be allowed
Taken possession of souls and lost spirits
The evil task is fulfilled, needless to prolong the stay

Satisfied, the return has begun
To the valleys, the foretold shelter of evil
Assigned by the inexplicable symptoms
Roaming through the vast darkness

Searching, groping after the hidden passage
Despairing yet resolute
Longing for established order
To reign and flourish at own environs

Actuated by the intuition of beasts
Guided by the commission of evil
Now disappearing back into eternity
A release and relief for the terrestrial life

Back into eternity ...


9. VALLEYS IN OBLIVION

Destitute of concealment for ages
Vestiges, which meant earlier life
Again brought up on an unnatural way
Every stone, every grave, every remain,
Obtained with memories

Remaining from generation after generation
The valleys, where distant ancestors
Battled, triumphed and survived
They eventually became vanished
By the unpredictable forces of nature

Archaeology is the key
For the present generation
Scarcely or not suspecting
What could be damaged by mankind
It's just a matter of time
The same could happen to us
Presumed to be left alone
Like the valleys in oblivion

Powers from the long ago
Could be too strong
Curiosity of manking is
Always an imperfect danger
Attended with inexperience and cupidity

Valleys in oblivion ...


10. THOUGHTS OF AN ATHEIST

I haven't seen a Jesus in my life
No wonders and no golden paradise
Are you still too blind to see the truth?
Your gods are dead and they will never rise

Submission to illusions of your fear
Afraid to be alone if doom is near
Worship your gods and pray your love
Keep silent derision from above

Thoughts of an atheist
Aversion for your failed gods
Thoughts of an atheist
Religion has bloody thorns

Naive belief in "holy" lies
Ignore the sad truth - close your eyes
Adherence to a cross - symbol of death
Follow a dead mean with thousand voices


11. VERMIN (LIVE)

Hordes of disgust
Hungrs, hasty, roaming at night
Red eyes leering
Apparitions of the darkest kind
Heinous rodents
The past of the modern
agglomeration
Living terror
Indestructable abominations
Symptoms of the fulminant deseases
The number of infected ones
increases
Inimical towards the human race
Death in it's most efficient way
Ghastly creatures
Enticed by decayed filth
Abjective vectors
Crawling in fermenting dirt
Seat in stinking slime
Malicious horror
Still unaffected by time
Spreading an awful and deadly
zymotic
Whole parts of mankind
contaminated
Bubonic plague, immortal enemy
Several populations attained
Verrucous corpses lie in the alley
Mephitic cadavers are rotting away
The livin covered with furuncles
Vermin, infesting another decade


12. THE RACK (LIVE)

In the dungeon
Deep under ground
A morbid fear
Palpitations, unbearable pound
Footstep outside the stairway
Executioners's arrival
A sinister procession
Grim macabre tribunal
Heretical pervert
Inexorable judge
The sentence is death
By the grace of the church
Inside the torture chamber
The smell of blood and pain
Iron is glowing in pits of fire
Instruments of the insane
The Rack: Altar of blood
The Rack: Altar of pain
Suffocate in blood
Bones pulverized
Mutilated tissue
Evisceration
Sawed off limbs
Emasculation
Human leftovers
A smouldering mess
Atrocious perfomance
Methods of madness
Inside the torture chamber
Instruments covered with stains
The rack has taken his victim
Beyond the boundaries of pain


DISC 2

1. GOD CRIES

2000 years ago
Someone died
He is known to man as the son of a god

What kind of father lets his son die?
His time will come; an eye for an eye
Look at a history of 2000 years
There's no joy left; there are only tears

And as time went on
Wars and hunger;
The inheritance of his son
And soon we'll join him in the battle
Against you
There's only one thing left to do

God cries, blood on his hands and tears in his eyes
God forsaken dreams, the failure and the shame

Let's goon the other side, let us cross the styx
Not out of curiosity, we want revenge

When we meet our maker
We'll ask him why
And we stab him in the back
Just as he did to us

Now we're on the other side
We know what we came for
Blood for blood is the rule
Our judgement has come

2000 years ago
Someone died

God cries, blood on his hands and tears in this eyes
God forsaken dreams, the failure and the shame

2000 years ago
Someone cried


2. IT AWAITS

You're devastated by the fear of a horrible death
Constantly anticipating on your last breath
Thinking about the many times you've already died
Nothing I could do and you know i've tried

You know what awaits
You know that it awaits

There you lie on your own rack
God gave you a nightmare, so you gave one back
The pleasures and the pains that were shown to you
You have enjoyed them and you know what to do

You know what awaits
You know that it awaits

Get out of your hell
I try to reach you and get you out of that hell
But you decide to end it, all by yourself
Will you have peace of mind, or will yon dwell

You know what awaits
You know that it awaits

And now it's over
You are gone and you won't come back
I feel that you are freed from this ungodly pain
The memories are there and they will remain

You know what awaits
You know that it awaits


3. MY BELOVED ENNEMY

I have to get out of this godforsaken dream
And it's time to see my beloved enemy

Your loved ones are the ones that stab you in the back
Among the family is the judas
Betrayal and apostasy are the things
That come your way
When greed overrules the blood

And now that I see the real you and the real me
Your share is my thorn, a jackal is born

Your loved ones are the ones that stab you in the back
Among the family is the judas
Betrayal and apostasy are tne things
That come your way
When greed overrules the blood

What turns people into vultures?
Is it greed or is it in the heart?
My beloved enemy
Close enough to hit me where it hurts

When will you know that you cannot betray me
Because the blood tells me to punish my enemy

Your loved ones are the ones that stab you in the back
Among the family is the judas
Pain and misery will come their way
When vengeance overrules the sense
You have to get out of your godforsaken dream
And it's time to see your beloved enemy

What turns people into vultures?
Is it greed or is it in the heart?
My beloved enemy
Close enough to hit me where it hurts


4. DIED YESERDAY

I can't control my bloodlust anymore
There's no way back for me
After all these years of pain and oppression
My eyes are now to see
The maggot that you are and i'll crush you
I'll crush your cenotaph

My sympathy is gone
My conscience passed away
It died yesterday

For years you squeezed the hatred out of me
Until it consumed me
And when the gates to my soul opened up
There was nothing but darkness
So I can't control my bloodlust no more
There's no way back for you
After all these years of pain and oppression
My eyes are now to see

My sympathy is gone
My conscience passed away
It died yesterday

I'd like to see you beg
I'd like to see you suffer

But you died yesterday

You always had me beg
You always had me suffer

The torment lies fresh in my memory
The scars will never heal
So you had to suffer the ultimate anger
That tore your soul apart
And I licked the fresh-spilled blood of my blade
The work is done

My sympathy is gone
My conscience passed away
It died yesterday


5. CUT-THROAT URGES

Not so long ago, on a cold december day
You let my father die in solitude and pain
Once he was your son, and baptised in your name
If this is now you treat him, then violence is my way

Cut-throat urges
I need to spill some holy blood

Beautiful words, but hollow promises
The goodness of god is a fucking joke

Get out of your heavenly palace
And show your real face

How can people believe in this shit
How can they be so naive

Not so long ago, on a cold december day
You took all hope in my life away
Once I had respect, and hallowed was your name
If this is how you treat me, then violence is my way


6. SLAUGHTERED IN SODOM

The masses are going to battle
And as we learn from history now
They'll all die tor nothing and nobody even cares

Slaughtered in sodom

Living your life on a battlefield
Where no one knows your name
Your head blown off by a thousand guns
To me it makes no sense

Rage burning inside, and sometimes it explodes
Now I got blood on my hands, I kill tor no reason at all

Blood is my fuel, violence an urge and not a goal
In my own private sodom, the bloodshed never ends

Two minutes to midnight, everything will go fast
You'll never know what hit you,
But this breath will be your last

God and satan are no opposites
They're one inside your mind
You can worship both or none
It doesn't change who you are
Because sodom is a place far away in your mind
Where pleasure and pain are united


7. FROZEN SOUL

A soul made of ice
And the invention of fire
Didn't melt my heart
It got even colder
My soul remains frozen
As it has been for a thousand years

No feelings at all
You know I got no feelings at all
Frozen soul

At the beginning of time
I was born
Into a family of conquerors
Destined to do death
Stonecold obsession
For the destruction of life

You know that i'm the son of man
You made me to what I am
The fear of me is a product of your past
Forever, that's how long I'll last

No feelings at all
You know I got no feelings at all
Frozen soul
I exist-
By the grace of your coldness
By the grace of a breed of rats
By the grace of a god who failed
By the grace of the one you hail

You know that i'm the son of man
You made me to what I am
The fear of me is a product of your past
Forever, that's how long i'll last

A soul made of ice
And the invention of fire
Didn't melt my heart
I got even colder

No feelings at all
You know I got no feelings at all
Frozen soul


8. FEAR MY GREED

I have this terrible urge
The need to take what is yours
A vulture circling in the sky
Preying upon the weak

Run away - you're my prey, fear my greed

The weaker you are the stronger I get
I feast upon your helplessness
Show no mercy and have compassion
Because this is your own fault
Remember who started this?

Don't be afraid to die

Run away - you're my prey, fear my greed

My greed is here to stay
It will haunt you till the end of days

What do you think that will happen now
Don't expect me to let go
My teeth in your neck, I'll suck the life out of you
Just as you tried to do to me

Don't be afraid to die

Preying upon your weakness
Like a vulture in the sky
The need to take what is yours
There's no way back for me

My greed is here to stay
It will haunt you till the end of days

Run away - you're my prey, fear my greed


9. THE BLOOD I SPILLED

Coming home after the war
All that's left is a prisoner of two worlds
The past is red of all the blood I spilled
The future's black because there is no hope

Nothing is sacred to me
I want you, father, to fall on your knees

In the desert far away
My slaughtered innocence left to decay
Recollections of battles without end
And the lifes I took with my bare hands

Nothing is sacred to me
I want you, father, to fall on your knees

So I walked into that church
And that's when I killed him
The blood I spilled just yesterday
As if that pleasure had never been away
Stabbing the fucking life out ot him
I learned the trade, I always win

Nothing is sacred to me
I want you, father, to fall on your knees

The blood I spilled just yesterday
As it that pleasure had never been away


10. DIED YESTERDAY (DEMO)

I can't control my bloodlust anymore
There's no way back for me
After all these years of pain and oppression
My eyes are now to see
The maggot that you are and i'll crush you
I'll crush your cenotaph

My sympathy is gone
My conscience passed away
It died yesterday

For years you squeezed the hatred out of me
Until it consumed me
And when the gates to my soul opened up
There was nothing but darkness
So I can't control my bloodlust no more
There's no way back for you
After all these years of pain and oppression
My eyes are now to see

My sympathy is gone
My conscience passed away
It died yesterday

I'd like to see you beg
I'd like to see you suffer

But you died yesterday

You always had me beg
You always had me suffer

The torment lies fresh in my memory
The scars will never heal
So you had to suffer the ultimate anger
That tore your soul apart
And I licked the fresh-spilled blood of my blade
The work is done

My sympathy is gone
My conscience passed away
It died yesterday


11. THE BLOOD I SPILLED (DEMO)

Coming home after the war

In the desert far away
