1. THE HAMMER SPEAKS

Now hear the hammer speak
Its tablet of doom
Through hour of Folly
Its power dangerous - upon you!


2. SUCH POWER IS DANGEROUS !

Conquering emperor, alive through sheer hate
And written on those walls, his morbid end
For some just rather watch, empires in flames
Hail to the lions, who feast their waning flesh

Oh, great black sun, no longer bows to you
For it shattered down, watching your evening gown
And praised be the witch, who incantated you
From his sacred womb, high priest of ancient truth

Striking lyre with gift, summoning chords of Hell
His favourite tune, folly of cardinals
Nothing could stop such man, with madness as his cause
Inspired by Caesar's hand, caller of the storms!

The great beat from lion's den
It can't be understood, it's passion so strange
Yet reign of fear and wonder through Rome
Will light hellfires, accepting the will of Mars

"What an artist dies in me!
Through these eyes can devil see!
Seeking forgiveness, compassion
And yet I found none!

They will fall! On their knees!
Saviour Christ! Avant thee!"

What he played, was not music
It sounded more like devilry
Along his lyre, legions marched
They gave their fate to slavemaster's game
And on that day, those temples burned
Eternal city lied in ruins
He bowed to no god, nor do we
Such power is dangerous!
And we'll be never free!


3. VALKYRIES I AVENGE

Red shadows haunt the crows around the corpse who fell
Like a band of seraph thieves they plot against
Stronghold who they see as fading kind
My god seeks vengeance in the night!

The Lord is my rock! - The last refuge I seek
Cold spring within me!
His strength asserts itself - I see our enemies fall
Salvation by this sword of love!

Smoke and flame I passed along, gone beauty from this life Torn
Stinging like a cobra stroke, arm of steel and knotted oak
Red shadows haunt the crows around the corpse who fell
Like a band of seraph thieves they plot against
Stronghold who they see as fading kind
My god seeks vengeance in the night!

High tower of walled town - for whom I owe my life
Deliverer of wrong gone right!
Foundation and true bless - for him I will avenge
Every valkyrie or unknown wench!

Through the eyeball into brain, marking the end of wicked Men
Judge us all on final day of reckoning they took away
"Red be their ruin" says Lord of Light!

Fool's march around the world - you're a wolf chased by Prey
Men shall die for this - your crimes of evil hate
Some of us heard the bell - which called for your Judgement day
Away, you demons of hell - in the name of Lord and Solomon Kane!

Flee if you would live - never forget our chant!
Thousands valkyries - slain by evil hand!
Painting pictures dry - our blood is fine like wine!
You're my saviour - Jehovah can't be heard!


4. THE SPEAR OF DESTINY

He throws the evil priest, down to the castle vault
"Time of your cross is gone!", his triumphant shout
Afterwards he kneels, before his left hand path
Casting his gaze, to Monsalvat again!

Flowery maids will dance, enchanted by his spell
Strong, wicked embrace, will light their soul afire
Inside these stone walls, strange passion rules
Inverted feelings boil, as Klingsor plays his tunes!

"I turned my back to world, amen!
So gift of dark foresight can flourish again!"

Satisfy me, rose of Hell - before that damned pure fool
I trust in you, first sorceress - part of my blood is yours
Whom do you serve? I've never learned!
Your guilt and shame! - are blind man's faith!

Piercing the side of Christ - the Spear of Destiny!

Wanton girls and magic runes, commanded from these heights
Chastity's an open wound, yet there's still no sleep Tonight
Knights in their shiny shields, bringing fierce new times
Polished sound of modern steel. it mocks my ancient rites!

That spear is mine, that bears your sign!
You swore in name of false prophet!

Wounding the failed king - the Spear of Destiny!


5. ANTEDILUVIAN DREAMS

Sinking into many columned otherworlds
Unpenetrable darkness is calling me
Mad I am, yet my eyes have opened too
Scrolls of Mad Arab will soon be true!

Submerged, awaking, lying in the filthy ooze
Seeing tentacles swinging like ancient melodies
Also you came out of water once
Little change is needed to go back again!

The place where all begun
Down where the deep road starts
All kinds of buildings there
Like this temple of the dead!

Julia Brown was girl, who embraced the master's call
Music of Mr. Zann, driving poor girl mad
After the few next weeks, elder signs covered the walls
Gene memories dating back, thousands of years they had!

Temple of Set lies there, their orgy will never end
Twisted kind of faith, court the dark Fisher King
Her garden of Eden's here, down where the deep ones dare
Since antediluvian time - my God, the stars are right!

Antediluvian dreams
They're still haunting me!
Displaying the mortal men's heads
In his temple of the dead!

At last the stars are right!


6. UNCHARTED SEAS

Through tides of time, swallowed by the weed
Grave for every rime, uncharted sea

Colonies of different race, at war amongst the seas
In God's forlorn space, committing evil deeds

Lost continent - world's far from here
Lost continent - uncharted seas

Lost continent - weedfields at sea
Lost continent - conceiled life will be

I don't know where we went, simply wanted home
This place is straight from Hell, far from world we know As our own
But after we journeyed long, I had begun to see
Lost continent's our home, at the uncharted sea

All I see is green, the living hell that time forgot
In the middle of this sea, our kin will forever rot

We shall dive down the abysses, into that brooding in the Sea
And there, deep under - we reform to be so beautiful, so Beautiful
The womb of the uncharted sea
It's not the end...


7. THE SECRET WAR

Cast out from it all, amidst eternal snows
Behind back of God, I still know how it's dark
Decades in the wind, I see dead waves to me singing
To me, this is living - for solitude asks no forgiving

Sounding of distant fire - somewhere far, disguising sky
Iron cross against two fronts - denied my fate, betrayed Loved ones
Tides speak of Zyklon B - painting horrors I failed to see
Ever since I missed the war - became a wave that knew no Shore

In cyclopean ocean floor - something moves, awaits its turn
They made a pact with Christian men - crushed their Church, now pagan lair!
Those spawns wait stirring under stars - one day, their Slumber ends
Shadows out of time will come - D-day, of their secret war!

Down where they mute your cry - divide, conquer or die
Deep city devil blues, echoed through these hills!
...I see my kin!
...Strange being crawling!

Our child immortal, in their hands
Cults of million ruins witness our dance
Its sound might be awful, yet it's pure
Forsaken angel's loose - I want you!

Seducing sword of Dagon is your smile
Caressing otherworldly touch becomes mine
I ceased to hear the sonic pulse outside
For reckoned world died with our fullmoon rite!

That's not dead which eternal lies
Through strange aeons, even death can die
More dangerous than our machine gun fire
Their secret war!

We bury the followers of later gods in these bottom sands
The ancient one must drink, for we trust in his offerings
Our religion slaves and prevails from Baltic to Yucatan
Atleast we refuse to die as human scum of the early phase!
