1. TRIBULATION

(no lyrics available)


2. OF WRATH AND IMPALEMENT

His father was one
Order of the Dragon
Allied with his foes
To usurp the throne of Wallachia

Sent by his father as hostage
As a proof of loyalty
To the throne of Turkey
He and his blood brother

Treachery and patricide
Would bring his return
Danesti's throne reseized
New Tyranny usurpassed

Brutal reign of the Dragon Prince
Epitome of Tyranny
On the blood soaked land
Neath the shadows of the devil's spawn

A hundred thousand impaled
Under his hateful rule
Skinned alive and boiled
Burnt and eviscerated to the bone

Treachery against the Ottomans
Would bring forth and army
Threefold to his
The horror of Tirgoviste
Would greet his eyes
And halt their match
Would greet his eyes
Halt their fucking march!

Thus they called him kaziglu bey!

His wife fearing captured threw herself
From the battlement towers
Off Poenari Castle
As his brother Radu conquered it

On the fateful winter day near Bucharest
When Bathory's promised help failed to appear
Thus were he and his army
Slaughtered by the Turks!

By the decree of the Sultan
On a spike was his head
Displayed in Constantinople
The fate of a vengeful tyrant

Thus were he and his army
Slaughtered by the turks
Proof of the demise
Of Vlad...The impaler!

Treachery and patricide
Would bring his return
Danesti's throne reseized
New tyranny unsurpassed

Treachery and patricide
Would bring his return
Danesti's throne reseized
New Tyranny unsurpassed!


3. CURSE OF THE WANDERING JEW

The sun burned
On that fateful day
As the Nazarene, carried the cross
On the hills of Golgotha

There came a Jew, amongst
The crowd of taunting scum
And a taunt he too threw
At the dying saviour

"Hurry Jesus, why does thou tarry?"
Though the blood flowed from
His crown of thorns
A steady gaze the Nazarene set
Upon the jew
And in that moment, uttered the words

"you shall wait for my return"
And his fate was sealed
Infidel insolence
To roam the earth in immortality
His cage until his appointed return
Infernal attrition

When crusaders
Bloodied the holy land
Saturated under the shadow
Of crosses

And when panzers
Overran europe
Gasping for breath
In smothered chambers

6 millions crushed
Under the jaws of the wolf
Yet he still wandered on
Death, a mercy?
Ungranted...until his return...his return!!!

"you shall wait for my return"
And his fate was sealed
Infidel insolence
To roam the earth in immortality
His cage, until his appointed return
Infernal attrition

"you shall wait for my return"
And his fate was sealed
Infidel insolence
To roam the earth in immortality
His cage until his appointed return
Infernal attrition


4. FACING SODOM'S DEMISE

Once in a filthy crevice of history
Sins against nature were practised
As the children of Adam
Laid amongst their own kind
In a place called Sodom

Openly in the street, lust was worshipped

A man from amongst their own
Was chosen by the Lord
To warn them of their sins
"Lot" was his name

Another step she did not take
For rooted the spot
Turned into a pillar of salt
Bearing testament till this day
Facing Sodom's Demise

And so the wrath of God rained down
"Lot" fled along with his followers
But his wife, unheeding of God's advice
Turned her face to gaze upon Sodom's demise

Another step she did not take
For rooted to the spot
Turned into a pillar of salt
Bearing testament till this day
Facing Sodom's Demise


5. LUCIFERIAN PROMISES

Cast out of heaven
One-third of the angelic host
An event, of divine rebellion
Was to seal, the wretched fate of mankind

Unholy council in Pandemonium
I was chosen to ascertain
Rumors, prophecy, whispered in heaven
Of a new world, the newest creation

Thus did I trespass to Eden
And in wonder beheld Adam
But more wandrous still, his fairer image
Her intoxicating form

Her curve more sensuous
Lips more enticing
Unbeheld in creation
Worshipped to illumine further
And mirror the very stars

In the shape of the Serpent
Under the Tree of Knowledge
I whispered to her
The Luciferian Promises

In the shape of the Serpent
Under the Tree Of Knowledge
I whispered to her
The Luciferian Promises
