1. KNEE DEEP IN BLOOD

Shadows crawl the earth
On fields decrepit with death, I stand
Blackened rotting flesh
Enchanted with fire ...purified

So beautifully bloody
Bodies dangle from broken trees
This putrid killing field
Barren wastelands fertile with your blood
...To give birth anew monstrosity

A rancid breeze, murmurs in the distance
Incantations, chants and drones. It's closing in

Now I see the raging fire, consuming them alive
I see apocalypses rise

A clear black sea is high above me
As the flames grow tall,
I witness a peer to pestilence
It's eyes shine through the surface, frozen...
Many they are. Like a million specks
Of sand on it's floor

Now halt your minds and listen to their roar
The beast give evensong of sacrifice

Shadows crawl the earth
On fields decrepit with death, I stand
Blackened rotting flesh
Enchanted with fire ...purified


2. RETRIBUTION

Too loud, too loud is the silence
Engulfed in desolation

The weak are reaching for a lying sky
Paralysed and misled by the magic lantern

Futile deeds from above soon to be avenged
Retribution is write in dragon's blood
The legend has been called upon
Foretold are the acts of decapitation

Henchmen carved from the mountains
Fragrance of stone approaching
Inviolable risen from the haunted dungeons
Monolithic giants joining the unholy horde

Sent as the first born of the dead
In order to extinct the betraying breed
The specters will impale the womb
The unborn shalt be feasted upon

Titans of the night wind
Demanding human sacrifice
Caressed by fire, breathing burnt flesh
Untamed purity strengthened by the true belief
Raising ancient steel, screaming for war

Unbreakable shields reflecting
The horizon of vexation

Cries of devastation
Pain the dying followers

5. ON SWIFT WINGS

On swift wings, make haste across the landscape
Thus, you are the messenger of death
With black strokes, make your way into the moongate
You, all-seeing shadow of the earth

Yes, thou art of black ice
And the thunder in the past
Thus, you see yourself in the abyss

Your visions - the coming of the many
A cavalcade in revelations path
And with nightfall, conquer all in darkness
A crimson sun drowning weak in blood

Battles roar in ancient times of warlike days
Ever so clear. Endurance until the end!
Ascendancy. Slay them all in vengeance, now
Stain the ground with the poison from their feeble minds

Now see the valleys drink the pestilent blood
A breeze of flesh across the plains

On swift wings, make haste across the landscape
Thus, you are the messenger of death
With black strokes, make your way into the moongate
You, all-seeing shadow of the earth
