1. UNITED STAINS

United stains
United stains

Stars and stripes
Forever righteous

Home of the brave
Land of the free
Claim the right to be
The master of fate

Pounding ahead
Leaving the dead
Tons of lead against
An enemy state

We dropped the bomb
We're a chosen people
Standing our ground
We're a chosen people
Scattering blood
We're a chosen people
Defending our land
And the lord is with us


2. SWEET DECEIT

I lost my soul to her
I left my sanity with her
To be a super human

She was a warm mother
She was a shelter for us all
And we'd gather 'round her

Sweet deceit
The creepy notion of a
Neat deceit
Casting you into a
Painful awakening
Just a sickening
Fraud there is no King
Leading us to victory

Bleeding us to liberty

Believe in what you cannot see
Become what you can never be
Enjoy your dreams of insufficiency

We were the chosen ones
The truth for us alone
In blood and fire

No further questions asked
Just follow this vague agenda
It will all come to ya


3. CALL OF THE WILD

He was one of those who
Lived his life within a cage
Questioning society's
Criteria of happiness
His youth and strength had
Vanished in another age
Painful resignation left his
Manhood in a mess

When he referred to his
Achievements in this life
A solid home good looking
Children and wife
He felt an aftertaste of
Falsehood and abuse
Just a man of no further use

The sound of an endless forest
The scent of snow and ice
The call of the wild demands him
Awaken your beast

Pathetic journeys to the days
Of former glory
Picturing a man who never
Knew the words "I'm sorry
A vague reminiscence of
Vitality and pride
A fearless warrior with the
Devil at his side

Darkness surrounds the beast
He cries with fury
Deep down in his cave
Waiting to be unleashed


4. PRELUDIUM IN FIDEM

(Instrumental)


5. BLACK PLAGUE

Here I stand before you again
Bless me father for I have sin

A weakened man is all I can see in the
Sacred light of your hypocrisy
No remorse no awe I feel
All is wasted nothing is real

We're survived your rise and fall
Paid our dues for nothing at all
You black plague

Cursed be your wicked way
Turning back on you time to play
You black plague

Pain awaits me so I've been told
Seek repentance 'fore you grow old
Lustful pleasures come with a terrible price
According to your evil lies

History will judge you well
Sentence you to your own hell
Hate damnation shame disgust
The empire's fallen ashes and dust
I live I learn I suffer I burn

Here I stand before you again
Bless me father for I have sin


6. TO PLEASE

Face down spinnin' around far away reason
Once more you're trapped by someone's treason

All hopes and all regrets into indifference
No better hope of retribution

[Chorus]
Just the same ol' disease always someone to please
You gotta break free there's a world to see
You need a kick in the ass no need to be climbing
Mountains of broken glass time to let them see

Oh man pathetic man believing in your conscience
And that your sacrifices matters

Oh man miserable man believing in your honour
It's from yourself you need protection

Just the same ol' disease always someone to please
You gotta break free there's a world to see
You need a kick in the ass no need to be climbing
Mountains of broken glass time to let them see

Face down spinnin' around far away reason
Once more you're trapped by someone's treason

Words not spoken words forgotten words mistaken
You'd better learn to keep a distance

[Chorus]


7. SPEAK OF ME

I am a knight and this is my fight
I am the wisdom I am the Light
I am a spell the angel who fell
I am a prophet bringing you hell

I see you all I hear you call
I'll never catch you whenever you fall
I am kick a painful lick
I am a countdown I'll make you sick

[Chorus #1]
Truth is me divine and free
Speak of me and I will flee

I am a source the final remorse
I am a strikeback the ultimate force
I am a spy the silent cry
I am a brutal invisible eye

I am a haze I'm in your face
I'll be out of your mind without a trace

I'm in your head I'm in your bed
I am the saviour for me you have bled

[Chorus #2]
Bow to me fall on your knees
Speak of me and you will see


8. IN YOUR ABSENCE

Stuck in the blessing of solitude
They say it's a master of attitude
Carpe diem and screw them all
It's just an abyss and down I fall

In this moment of solitude
How can pain have such magnitude
Used to be sure what was 'round the bend
Guess I was shut down but peaceful then

[Chorus]
What is to become of me
Fear as far as the eye can see
In your absence in despair
Incomplete in hell in your hands

Yes I can play with dishonesty
Fool myself and say probably
My eyes are shut but it's you I see
Craving the fruits of my sacred tree

What is to become of me
Pain as far as the eye can see
In your absence in despair
Incomplete in hell in your hands

In this moment of solitude
Something's wrong with my attitude

[Chorus]

In your absence in despair


9. LEAVE IT ALL

You raped my mind for ages
You've left me in between the pages
Of the book of death
Your dishonesty has broken my back
You noise has caused my skull to crack
Demons breed

Leave it all leave it all

This message is clear

Leave it all leave it all
Don't you have no fear

Screw your future
Screw your past
Free to hate you
Free at last

I am the nail, you are the hammer
Striking me repeatedly in senseless anger
Pounding me (ever) deeper into a fallen tree
A rotting corpse will be your company

You've raped my soul for ages
My inner voice is raging for revenge
Rapidly I'm turning into ice
Just another for you to despise


10. ØKSEROCK

Bakom synger skogene for barn av markens grøde
En gravhymne for dem Kong vinters hvasse kulde tar
Varg og ville vetter venter sultent på de døde
Skogen former folket fra en fordums viking far

Ravnetunge djeveltunge frostnattstormer en menneskeorm
Ravnetunge djevelunge skrik i svarte skauen
Ravnetunge djeveltunge natta kaller skogen skalder
Ravnetunge

Styggsvær slagbjørn slakter stort han venter oppi lia
Grovbygda gråtbein stirrer stivt dit menneskene bor
Ved tjernet lurer skyggene av folk som falt før tida
Gliser grimt mot alle som forsvinner uten spor

Uvær ufred slekter strider farger fosser røde
Tunge tankers gryningstid i sorg og bunnløst savn
Svartpestens dausott legger Norges grender øde
Vinternatta hviler tungt i Åsgårdsreias favn

Ravnetunge djeveltunge frostnattstormer en menneskeorm
Ravnetunge djevelunge skrik i svarte skauen
Ravnetunge djeveltunge natta kaller skogen skalder
Ravnetunge

Sagnet maler minnene om hine hårde dagerda kløkt
Og rygg bar grendog bygd og skogen var vårt hjem
Sprengfull buk gjør glemsom i en tid som virker fager
Ved mørkets gjenkomst gavnes den som ingen har
Glemt

Bakom synger skogene for barn av markens grøde
En seierssang for den som stabeint står i stormfullt år
Tidens tenner gnager grådig bein av fedres brødre
Skogen former landet
Slik det ligger nå i år
