1. THE SICARII

Blood stained blades glisten black in moonlight
We are the lords of the night time realm
Cloaked and hooded, cast no shadows
In the alleys and these ancient roads

We fight for the freedom of the city of Jerusalem
Sinking deep into Roman flesh
Spilling blood on the time worn cobbles
We raise the banners of revolt and rebellion

Subterfuge and murder
Arson, pillage, and theft
We poison food and water
To incite the men to arms
To cast off Roman shackles
To break the bonding chains
Of oppression and tyranny
That has reigned here for far too long

Blood stained blades glisten black in moonlight
We are the lords of the night time realm
Cloaked and hooded, cast no shadows
In the alleys and these ancient roads

We fight for the freedom of the city of Jerusalem
Sinking deep into Roman flesh
Spilling blood on the time worn cobbles
We raise the banners of revolt and rebellion


2. THE ESSENTIAL SALTS OF HUMAN DUST

Deepening stars, they weave their spells
Casting shadows on my slumbering eyes
The leaves in the fields lay dormant
Untouched by the passings of men
Who here, fear to tread

The graveyards cold and its silent
The dead lay in wait for evil times
They mourn at night in shrouds of darkness

My heart is burning with fire
Under the blackened skies
With sword and fiery eyes

I see the grief of ages past
Under the blackened skies
With sword and fiery eyes

I awake to darkness ancient and cold
My body is stiff with time
How long have I slept, I can never recall
Though I remember the suffering and pain

I hear the soft thud of soil on wood
The moist damp grave gives its secrets to me
My flesh will return into the earth
And no one will know I was buried alive


3. LIBER V VEL REGULI

Robed and armed I face the East
I beat eleven times
I invoke the name of Hadit
The sacred name of god
I form the triple circle
Around my earthly shell
And on this night of red swords
The darkness shall reveal

Before me the power of La
Behind me the power of Al
Before me the power
The sacred power of La

I see a burning face
Held in the smokeless fire
And with insanity
Secret dark desires

Iao
Iao

Babalon
Therion


4. DESTROYED BY DESIGN

We were born to kill
To shed and spill blood
Sacrificing men to the old gods above
Our hands are stained
With millenia of pain
Our histrory is written
With destruction and shame

Destroyers

Combine the nuclei to make a third
Harness the energy to destroy the world
Cover the lands in thick smoke and ash
Pollute the seas with atomic warfare

Destroyers

Children burned to cinders
Cities razed to dust
The golden crown of mankind removed
Is left to turn to rust
We were blinded by our power
Over the land, sea and air
But it was only a matter of time
Before we destroyed ourselves by design


5. NINKHARSAG

Harken lady of the mountain
Hear my solemn call
Your children are bereft of sanity
Give us strenght and guide us
Back to the earth once more
Give us strenght to power on through
Show us we must be pure
From your seed the flowers
Splendid with all your light
Springing form from barren wastes
The antithesis of night

Through time and space you journeyed
From a world of golden light
To deliver the seed of Enki
A formula for existence
From a planet on an orbit
Beyond all human sight
The gods sought to create new life
From their own transcendent might
The time is soon approaching
The planet shall return
And man shall know his place once more
In the universal firm
The galaxy aligning
The planet shall return
All life will change, not ceace to be
When the star gods do return


6. TARTARUS UNBOUND

Maelstrom and waves
Salt water burns my eyes
Broken masts and shattered prows
Dead bodies float all around
Lashing rain and thunder
A curse upon these waves
Broken men are dragged down
Dragged down by tempestuous waves
Call forth the demon from the deep
Where death lies, thats where I shall seek
My spear will pierce the monsters side
Its life blood will return into the sea

The hunt begins again upon the waves
In madness for glory we sail
Through blackened skies and starlit nights
To the depths below, down into the abyss

Astride Leviathan
With spear firm in my hand
I fight through delirium
To deliver my last stand
I stand upon these oaken planks
Upon this endless sea
To become my master
And control my destiny

There strides Leviathan
I see him with my eyes
Reborn upon the ocean
To deliver my last stand

Deep shall be the graves of those lost on the sea
Dragged down to Tartarus for eternity
Long shall be the curse of those damned on the sea
Dragged down to Tartarus for all eternity


7. PASTORALIS PRAEEMINENTIAE

Confess to charges against thee
My fallen pious sons
A bull has been declared against thee
Ye are now the outcast ones
Excommunicated
From gods worshipful light
Ye moved in spheres of devilry
To propel your empires might

Ye spat upon the cross three times
Ye worshiped idols black
Ye sodomized the arse of man
And honor you now lack
By order of the sovereign
Ye shall be burned alive
Until your flesh and bones are charred
And your empire fully tried

Non nobis domine
Non nobis
Tou da gloriam


8. THE DAWN OF THE AGE OF HORUS

Lend me your ears
O children of the dawn
Let me reveal this sacred truth
Core of a stat inside every man
Let no others tell thee nay

Beings of light
Time is of no time
We follow these ancient paths
Into our minds
We cast aside illusion
And conquer our pride

Revel in my splendour
Crowned and shining glory
Older than lost Babalon
More eternal than the stars
Mists may conceal
Lies may cast doubt
You fail because you fear
The morals in your mind
The new aeon is here
For those with the power to will
Raise your swords my brothers
And conquer slaves with pride
Worship the light within you
For it burns in every star
Bow down in adoration
And open the gates to thine heart


9. IRON WOLVES

Wolves of the north
Gather your swords and spears
The dawn is almost upon us
And with it the coming of war
Leather creaks in dark forests
Outside the stronghold walls
The gods are appeased with virgin blood
Their might is on our side

Scale the wall
Break down the doors
Put the towers to flame
Butcher the children
Slaughter the weak
Feed their flesh to the wolves

In the antechamber
A priest prays to his lord
In sacred words of worship
To defend against the ravening hoard
The battle rages in the courtyard
Where flesh and steel meet bone
Flesh is torn asunder
And blood is drunk by stone

Iron wolves are raping the earth
