1. ACROSS BLEEDING SEAS

The dead
Have been forlorn
Their legions march
From the grasp of life we're torn
In a dead state
Our freedom raped
As we face the crimson storm
Across bleeding seas
Across bleeding seas

See through clouded eyes
The martyr who'll end all of our cries
Pleading for justice to be realized
Pleading for Aroth to arise
The price is heavy, the toll we must pay
Our faith must be strong and our strength must not sway
To escape death there is no other way
Than to leave all behind and be carried away
Through uncharted waters and to distant shore
Our lifeblood seeps from us forevermore
It seems we're doomed to tragedy
Our fate lies across bleeding seas

Bringers of strife creating hollow shells of unlife
Death on tranquil snow, no trace of anything inside
Set to convulse, this rabid pulse turning flesh to dust
And so spreads a craving for blood
To satisfy their morbid lust

A destiny of pain
The darkest slumber shall soon reign
Our empire enslaved
The mortal world becomes our grave
A god encased in stone
Without faith he dies alone
Purifier of the damned
Retribution is at hand


2. PENANCE IN BLACK

A scribe
Infusing hate
The key to hell's gate
Alive
To re-instate
The scriptures of our race
Blood
Is running cold
This agony untold
Enforce
The pain we preach
This torture incomplete

Rancid
Disfigured idol
Altar to sorrow
The dead choir is in recital
Aroth
A weakened power
A bleak tomorrow
Surrender to the darkest hour
A war
To end existence
Sickness will silence
The ticking clock of your resistance
Placid
Waters of stillness
Mercy is poisoned
The water bearing signs of illness
Damned
The world ignited
Souls sacrificed
As the word of our god is recited
Words
That scream "Attack!"
We promise suffering
And penance in black

Abyssal gates, in fury open
The chains that bound our race now broken
Tainted revelations spoken
Denial of being awoken
Blinded by endless despising
The lives we've shattered crave reprising
As light creeps in we're realizing
That Aroth is now arising


3. THE FORSAKEN PROPHECIES

Our god lies dead beneath us
The past will soon release us
Prophecies and hidden secrets
Upon bloody thorns of time

Through walls of eternity
Death can't chain divinity

Cities of misery
Living but dead, an empire of atrocity
Time to stand or bow before anarchy
The final chapter, we won't die on our knees
A lifetime of agony
A will of steel
I'll fight until I'm freed
The blood of the holy I bleed
Life flows within me
And vengeance I shall seek

Our god lies dead beneath us
The past will soon release us
Prophecies and hidden secrets
Brought to light to cleanse their poisoned minds
This is our final destiny
Unchain the forsaken prophecies

Their blackened hearts in the burning sun
In the end the truth is sung
A requiem
A warrior's heart mongst demon mist
To unearth their necropolis
The light will come

The screaming abyss of apocalypse marks
The formation of evil, mordacious and dark
Insanity rules
Your kingdom of fools
The malicious quintessence of chaos has blessed us
Spreading our word, a disease so infectious
Before us you'll kneel
Our true lord revealed

"And the dark ones screamed forth with hunger in their eyes,
Their true master bearing the scriptures that would guide them to victory.
With strength I pledge my allegiance to the virtues of justice
I damn thy legions back to the abyss from whence they came."

A word of warning to the dark ones
Prepare for eternal sleep
When the heavens sing, I shall be king
The prophecy is now complete
