1. 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 of 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, of 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.


2. THE BUTCHERS 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 is 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
I've stared in their eyes, lifeless and hollow
Everyone I've 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.


3. 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 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, your 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.


4. THE SECOND COMING

Blood slowly, fills the sky, as the angels start, to burn
Heaven's 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.


5. WHERE 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
Lost, and alone, in the emptiest kind of Hell
Lost, and alone you will, writhe
Lost, and alone, in the emptiest kind of Hell
Lost, and alone you writhe
(You writhe your life)
Lost, and alone, in the emptiest kind of Hell
Lost, and alone you will writhe
(You will writhe).


6. A 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 (x2)

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 horror-struck
Blood, I have my blood, it's in her breast
It's flowing fresh for me, morbid nourishment

One, that's all she's had, that's all she said
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 man's 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.


7. 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 whetted, 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
You built your church upon our lands, unholy lands
You 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? (x3)
In my eyes I, see through fury.

9. 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

As I stand outside, in the pouring rain
I turn to look, at the world again I
Am standing tall before my judgment and my
Head is held up high onto the heavens I defy
Heavens that I deny, as I'm staring up, at the burning skies
Now I know where I reside I
Am standing strong amongst my brothers and we
All have a voice, uplifting through the halls

I am servant to no God

As I look up to the dying world above
There's nothing left but dirt and blood and
I take pride in knowing that I, never swore allegiance, to a God
There's no God

No God, for life, for death, I am for myself

I am servant to no God.


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 (x2).
