1. GATEKEEPER, THREE FORLD

Darkness feed thy hunger most ancient
Sensing the essence most sought three fold
Doomed are they who suffer banishment
Wretched misery a source of bloodlust

Gatekeeper grant me futile passage
Gatekeeper show me the way through the dark lands

The beast's ever watchful eyes on the opposing shore
A surge of pain as subconscious is taken over
Ancient duty compels me forward
Falling to the summon of the feared one

Escape is an impossible feat
Three fold swift and three fold punishing
Pathetic cries only succeed to anger
Unknown realm guide me in my torment

Abysmal vastities engulf
Feeling the pain of the wretched
Wade through the river cursed
Such sorrow, such bereavement

Underworld visions of death and destruction bring forth the will to harness life
Hateful existence, survival compelling

The beast's ever knowing sense on the opposing shore
Desensitization, numb to pain I've become once more

Mentally slipping in the face of swelling evil
Nubrious images invade my psyche
River, I involuntarily offer myself to thee
Slip away with tortured souls of yester year
Mentally slipping in the face of swelling evil
Nubrious images invade my psyche

Three fold swift, three fold punishing, three fold swift, three fold punishing

Three fold terror, three fold hatred, three fold vengeance,
Three fold torture, three fold fathomless, three fold fearless,
Three fold knowledge, three fold slaughter

Three fold swift, three fold punishing, three fold swift, three fold punishing

Confront me oh guardian
All fear shed in the river
Have at thee, great obstacle
My escape lies just beyond

Gatekeeper grant me return voyage
This I so boldly demand
Gatekeeper show me the way through the dark land
If conflict arises, so be it …


2. IN DOMINANCE INDEFINITE

An anomaly of fate and misfortune
Have caused a rift in here in after
Fate sealed through opposed misfortune
An epic paradigm so often told
Acquired powers through spoils of war
Have raised a warrior on par with myth
With abilities capable of striking fear into the hearts

Of the common and the gods
For it is he who has conquered
This world – Now he sets out to conquer the world below

With anomalies of fate and misfortune
Come tribulations of ultimate dedication
Strife towards the eternal dark river
Every step, an advancement
Vitalized with the strength of another
A name synonymous with terror
And with abilities capable of shedding the blood

Of the common and the gods
For it is I who have conquered
This world and now I set out to conquer the world below

For I am he – The one of legends
It is my sworn duty to serve the dark path

Consummation, the acquirement of souls
Total enhancement, immortality wrought

Transcending life – The curse of time has no meaning
Into unknown oblivion I cast my judgment
Abyss – River, witness your dawning king
Descend – A battlefield untouched until now
The quest – Realm of shadows prepare the end

Approach the shores unknown
The wretched souls engulf me
Consume my deepest fear
Their cries fall on deaf ears

Descend into the Stygian lands
This realm of perpetual darkness-
Thy conqueror thou shall forever know

Through anomalies of fate and misfortune
An epic travesty wrung with distain
A triumph in the name of malice
In dominance, Indefinite
Vitalized with the strength of the tortured
A name that rings throughout the ages
As the ruler of the light and the dark


3. OF HERO'S KIN

Eons of toil under stoic oppression
At the hands of the merciless gods of wrath and war

No mortal beast shall overcome
The will of deities supreme

Demands of sacrifice in blood
Satisfy success as titans clash
Ever bound to the decadent ones
We are but unfortunate pawns to their wanton ways

Brothers of Achilles – heed the call to arms
For it is his divine armour we possess
The will, the cunning, the fearlessness
Though we shall not leave our heel exposed – NO!

Rally toward the common bond as subservience shall be rejected
Colossal will and titan spirit, overthrow those demanding praise

Brothers of Beowulf – heed the march to battle
For we remember the crippling of Cain's kin
The will, the cunning, the fearlessness
We have endured both demon and beast alike

As mortal and immortal clash as the foot of Olympus
It shall be reveal who shall inherit victory
Divine arrogance versus innate human weakness
Omnipotent knowledge versus free human spirit

Turn their power – Or slaves eternal we shall be
Reveal our power – Inspired by the enemy

Divine swords fail to pierce the armour of Achilles
Irony – as weapons on high are used in their downfall

Prophecies at Delphi proved false in spite of the arrogance of Olympus
For heroes we have proved to be

Victorious!

Divine swords fail to pierce the armour of Achilles
Irony – as weapons on high are used in their downfall

Revenge – Stone wills – Crippling of insurmountable odds
Revenge – Stone wills – Crushed the bloodthirsty enslavers
Freed the destiny of man

As mortal and immortal clash as the foot of Olympus
It shall be reveal who shall inherit victory
Divine arrogance versus innate human weakness
Omnipotent knowledge versus free human spirit


4. MORTAL SHELL

A sacrifice of self to those who control what is
Steadily await the final destiny
The blade will raise us highest though we must be stripped to barest of elements
For an eternity of power shall come

With the shedding of the mortal shell
No pain is felt as we are offered to those above
Our willingness overcomes any fear
Steel divine brings us hope

To be as gods – power forever omniscient
To dominate the weak and condemn all who oppose
Eternal bliss awaits the shedding of the mortal shell
Ritual, raise us to the hollowed realm
Self inflicted offerings to the mighty ones
Blood reflects the ever watchful moon above

Freedom from this earthly oppression
Is what we desire most
Hear our cries of subjugation
Selflessly we give our corpses
As sounds of chaos reverberate

We ask for freedom through human supplication
We give praise though ritual mutilation

Holy blade reveals flesh to the utmost
Earthly consciousness slips away in trance
No longer constrained by this futile corpse
Spirits escape to meet their final realm
Former image slain for promised freedom
For we shall reign as kings
Eternal bliss awaits
An eternity of power comes with the shedding of the mortal shell

Ascending upward our wounds are irrelevant
Pain is left in the realm of the mortal
The blade has raised us highest
We have been stripped to the barest of elements
Our eternity of power has come
With the shedding – of – the mortal shell
