1. Creed

2. And, upon them, vengeance will be executed...

3. Longing for the Otherworld

God let me down
Satan did the same
I'm the only faith
I am so vain
So vain

Forsaken in dark, fragile and beaten
In chains tied up, thus for eyes defeated
The hollow fraught with dew and dust
till Doomsday hung in bonds of rust
Judge and priest, congregation bowed
Send him to death! Cheered the crowd

The sentence fell, to a cave he was sent
Hung to rot, hanging to mend
Solitare, sole in the dark
Couldn't he see a totty spark?
And there in the crack, a tiny friend
Asking politely: "Got'ny blood to lend?"

God wailed in sore
Satan lost his sane
I'm the only faith
I am so vain
So vain

The bug he gave, his pure and red
The liquid to the elf he fed
Happy with the deed, he begun to think
Might there haply be a link?
Then a day, the creature swirled
"Welcome to the Otherworld!

You helped a feeble when in need
Without even thinking about greed"
And so with a breath, hence came clear
Death! was nothing to fear
You won't care ‘bout the common herd
Once you've been in the Otherworld


4. Derelict Core

The blood justifies the heritage
Heritage, is justified by man
Man is brought by decline
And decline is the rule of life

The condiments of life, the reverie
And on the contrary to the reverie
There is pain, anger
and vain. Whereas

Cruelty is the colour of death
Pain is the smell of fear
Anger is the evil breath
And Vain is the cure sincere

During life there are relentless anger
And there also are relentless sores
Uncanny we all enter corruption
with a firm but derelict core

Unto my mortal
Enter my skin
Incur my visions
The edge of immense is thin

Accept my blood
And call the heritage
I will decline
and so put an end to life


5. ... with wrathful chastisements


6. Tranquillised at last

The world is aching
Scorned by chaos
Mind is changing
Mend by decay

Wherever I search
They'll raise my pain
Teared apart
That's my gain

It's burned in my mind
It has coalened my brain
The black world rules
We'll rise again

I do not fear death

Soon extinguished
Obscured by trust
Bless the severance
Seared by faith

Nocturnal Ode
Allegiance is bound
War in silence
Implied by fright

It's burned in my mind
It has coalened my brain
The black world rules
We'll rise again

I do not fear death

Bear my confession
Oblivion craved
Rejoice in fidelity
Awaiting the truth

Enlighten my conscience
Through recession
Shatter the darkness
Behold or betray

It's burned in my mind
It has coalened my brain
The black world rules
We'll rise again

I do not fear death

Shatter the darkness
Behold or betray
Bless the severance
Seared by faith

I do not fear death

Shatter the darkness
Behold or betray
Bless the severance
Seared by faith


7. Crimson filth
