2. OPEN WIDE THE GATE

Open wide the gate !!!

The final dawn - I am drawn into the storm
The black gates of the black abyss await
The smoke of burning is rising from the crypt
The cursed torch of my soul’s damnation’s lit
I am falling towards the onyx citadels
Towering above the sacred city hell
A pandemonium devoid of wretched light
Enjoy the cold embrace of neverending night

This is what shall come to be
Torment ! suffering !
In my vision doom’s revealed
I rejoice in sin !

Guilty as charged, guilty as charged - on the left hand Path I walked
Bound and damned, bound and damned - sent to hell by his Command
I am free, yes I am free - though I am burning endlessly
Seal my fate tyrant lord - open wide the gate !
Open wide the gate !

The dark lord of the black abyss awaits
Chained by sorrow up in heaven sing
Still loyal angels hymns to god, their tyrant king
Decrepit leader - may you reign in your despair
You know the time has come to share your treasures fair
Your power’s lost when the last soul won’t repent
The golden age will rise of our world without end

This is what shall come to be
Torment ! suffering !
In my vision doom’s revealed
I rejoice in sin !

Guilty as charged, guilty as charged - on the left hand Path I walked
Bound and damned, bound and damned - sent to hell by his Command
I am free, yes I am free - though I am burning endlessly
Seal my fate tyrant lord - open wide the… gate !
The gate !

They told me that you love me - all I feel is hate
Open wide the gate !

The dark lord of the black abyss awaits
Chained by sorrow up in heaven sing
Still loyal angels hymns to god, their tyrant king
Decrepit leader - may you reign in your despair
You know the time has come to share your treasures fair
Your power’s lost when the last soul won’t repent
The golden age will rise of our world without end

This is what shall come to be
Torment ! suffering !
In my vision doom’s revealed
I rejoice in sin !

Guilty as charged, guilty as charged - on the left hand Path I walked
Bound and damned, bound and damned - sent to hell by his Command
I am free, yes I am free - though I am burning endlessly
Seal my fate tyrant lord - open wide the… gate !


3. TONIGHT THE WITCHES RIDE

A black night, a cold night
What evil may this darkness bring
A dark storm upon us
The ceremony is soon to begin
Their master is waiting
And the goat is an impatient lord
A dark song the wind sings
Come ye children of satan's black horde
Come to the flame
Creatures of evil are meeting again
Come to the fire
To summon the devil, our lord and messiah
Unholy night
Mankind filled with fright
Satan waits in pride
Tonight the witches ride
A grim night, a cursed night
All demons are joining the call
Thee unborn, thee hellspawn
Gathered to bring death to us all
And I saw the beasts of earth
Feast upon the souls of man
And I saw their son of god
Die like sinners, die in pain


4. BATTLE ANGEL

From the pits of hell
A legion of hatred
To break the holy spell
All that is sacred
In the midst of confusion
Heat of the battle
An angel in armour
The power of metal
Warrior of steel
To fight the deceiver
You're in for the kill
A non-believer
Wings stained with blood
Sword deadly metal
Come fight if you dare
The angel in battle
Battle angel
Slay with wrath divine
Battle angel
Feel his rage and die
Ascending with power and might
Wielding his sword of revenge
See the fire of truth in his eyes
Destined to fight - battle angel
Taking to the sky
Guardian in glory
In Grace so divine
And pure victory
Celestial fighter
Defender, leader
The armies of heaven
Crushed the deceiver
Saviour from the sky
Stand and deliver
Fight and never die
Reign on forever
You who brought us steel
Blessed us with metal
Forever blessed be
The angel of battle
On wings made of steel
He flies through the heavens
He's stronger than ever before
If your heart is evil
And your soul is false
Prepare to meet him in war


5. FACES OF THE ANTICHRIST

Faces of the antichrist

Judgement is nigh
Lord let me die
I wish for death and you know the reason why
Horrors veset a sanity wrecked
I can no longer stand the vile beasts attack

He's in my mind
He's in my dreams
Oh lord he's everywhere
Won't you hear my screams

Satan - in that is I see his eyes
Evil faces of the antichrist
Satan - all around his kingdom lies

Evil faces of the antichrist (all around me)

I'm bound to sin
Satan within
I need to flog myself before lord satan wins
Dare not to think
Dare not to act
Their lore of hell for sure's a curse I must reject

Have mercy - set me free - have mercy - leave me be

I know not joy
I know not peace
For everywhere I sense the labour of the beast
Forgive my sin
I've lost the fight
Nearer my god to thee
Bless my suicide


6. VICTORY OF BLACK STEEL

Back from the dead - out of hell’s gate
We are the force - we are the hate
Destiny calls - onward to death
Fall to the sound - wake up the dead

Torn from chaos - the horned god
Up from the grave - none shall be saved

A cult in steel reborn - thou must hail
Our prophecy of slaughter did not fail
In bloodlust we have served the wargods’ will
Blessings of iron forged the victory of black steel

Law of the blade - wargods of hate
Crawl to your cross - faith I have lost
It is my will - fighting to kill
Damned by the black - doomed to attack

Torn from chaos - the horned god
Up from the grave - none shall be saved

A cult in steel reborn - thou must hail
Our prophecy of slaughter did not fail

All ye children bear my mark
All your pain becomes my joy
Those who oppose we shall destroy !

Back from the dead - out of hell’s gate
We are the force - we are the hate
Destiny calls - onward to death
Fall to the sound - wake up the dead

Torn from chaos - the horned god
Up from the grave - none shall be saved !!

A cult in steel reborn - thou must hail

7. CARNAGE RULES THE FIELDS OF DEATH

Carnage rules the fields of death
Where many died this night
I kneel within a pool of blood
In victory and might
I hail the gods above, oh bless me
With metal, steel and blood
I swear to be your loyal priest
A prophet of your wrath
Do what you will with me, I'm yours
On the fields of death
Carnage
Carnage rules the fields of death
Carnage
Carnage rules the fields of death
Carnage rules the fields of death
And for more death I pray
Bless me with the skills of war
And in your name I'll slay
I see despair and pain
In his fearful eyes
As blood spills, slaughter rains
Now the bastard dies
Carnage rules the fields of death
And death rules life once more
I sacrifice my soul to thee
I swear to die at war


8. THE RITES OF SACRIFICE

Rites of death
Slaughter bekoning
Hearken to the call
Promised carnage
Day of rekoning
Crush their heaten skulls
To sooth the bloodgod
Women,children
All their kin must die
I proclaim the bloodshed summoning
It's my sacred right (on this sacred night)

Terror
Torture
Murder
Praise the god by rites of sacrifice

Screams and moans
Break their boans
So much blood is spilled
Their faith defiled
None left alive
Bloodlust unfulfilled
Our eyes be freed from blindness
Our kin be spared from death
Lord xu'tul grant us marcy
We feed your ancient wrath


9. DARK FORCES LEAD ME TO THE BRIMSTONE GATE

"Weird dreams, dark visions, black spells ensorcell me !
Sword tight, grim mission, come forth those voices Sing..."

[The witch:]
"The secrets once forbidden are gifts to be unveiled !
Beware ! for hell's damnation waits if you should ever Fail !"

[The tyrant king:]
"A royal balefire!
A king's soul, haunted, doomed !
A warrior's death pyre ! a mortal earthbound tomb"

I'm falling through the crystal ball, dark forces !
I've come to face my sacred fate, dark forces !
Dark forces, lead me to the brimstone gate !!!"

"Death-ring ! black magic ! your wielder I shall be !
Doom-sword ! dark terror ! your steel my victory !

Reborn to reign as king !"

"Dark forces lead me to the brimstone gate !
Dark forces lead me through the brimstone gate !!!"

"...And to a world of slaughter I awake !"


10. SWORD OF THE KING

With the dying breath of the blind witch came the prophecy
From the land of myth and dreams into reality
From the old kingdom of magic the griffin descends
To bring the sword of the elder to the ruler of man
Oh, hear the valkries sing
Your life or death they bring
Your future held within
To bring forth the sword of the king
The heir to the throne is the child of the damned
He must be stopped and fall
Black is his mind, black is his soul
He has come to bind us all
He is the fiend of the pureness of light
The ancient tyrant son
The heir to the throne must be killed and denied
Defeat the chosen one
Die by my sword and die by my hand
I will be lord and the ruler of man
Give light to the blind
The end of the tyranny
Your soul and mind
Will never be free
Warriors unite
Into battle for destiny
Metal is life
Into war for the king
Take their children, take their wives
Take their cities, take their lives
Leave 'em broken, hear my spell
Life on earth shall be your hell
The sword of the king

To terminate their souls
Kill for steel and blood
Posers will die for the gods
Stand and fight with sword in hand

Heavy metal to the end


19. SLAUGHTER PROPHECY

I am the last of the witches
Reborn to take revenge
For all those whov'e been burned alive
Slaughtered by your hands
Women flayed,impaled,raped
Broken on the rack
Torture killings in god's name
Vengeance for the dead

Vengeance - vengeance
I live for revenge
Slaughter prophecy

Destiny be cruel for thee
I strike with spells malign
Disease and plague
Hail and fire
Called forth by my sign
I will not stop 'til you've paid
i'll haunt you to the last
Feel the pain of thousand deaths
Vengeance for the dead

Squwal like a pig in terror
I grasp your soul with hate
I am the nightmare nemesis
Your doom reincarnate
Thirst for blood can't be quenched
Who will laugh at last
I'll revel in your moaning
Your death will not be fast


20. BATTLE CRY

Catch a fleeting glimpse
Then be on your way
Oh the end is near
If we choose to stay
This forsaken land
Torn by grief and strife
No it's not worth
The value of your life
The smell of death
Lingers everywhere
Bloodstained bodies
Scattered everywhere
In the distance
Thunder in the sky
See the sorrow
Hear the battle cry
Battle cry
The carnage races on
Well into the night
As the sun creeps up
We see the morning light
On this battlefield
The tragedy of dawn
Through the crimson tide
We still carry on


21. WARGODS OF METAL

War !!
Reign in blood, reign in fire
Masters of eternity
Born of steel, born of iron
Immortal metal deities
Give us war, give us passion
Soldiers under your command
We will fight for your glory
We will fight until the end
Metalheads unite
Now stand up and fight
Wargods of metal
Wargods of metal
Wargods of metal rule the fight
Wargods of metal rule the fight
Die in blood, die in fire
Archfiend of dark misery
Pay in guts, feed the lion
For the griffin still is king
Banners fly, armour's clashing
And the wargods lead us on
Into war, into slaughter
Now the bloodshed has begun
