1. WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?

(Instrumental)


2. ICONS OF EVIL

Where is your God now?

I proclaim, this temple of flesh
As the ruler to be

Defame the names, of all your dead Gods
Vomit upon the path, of salvation
Watch the creator, succumb to extinction
The hunter now the hunted
You become the prey for us...all

Confront me now
Defiler of human desire
Voracious hordes await, the hour of ascension
Unravel their, delusion
Their translucent, divinity

The bloodshed
Begin the bloodshed

For blasphemy is the pure blood, within us all
Hear the siren of death from, high above
The upheaval of an unholy war
Has now...begun

I am the fist, in your bastard...son's, face

Burn down their churches...engulfed by hatred
Tear down their kingdom...incinerate his vision
Destroy their icons...pulled from their neck
The exodus of faith...their will we did break

Shattering the hope they once loved
Shattering the hope they once...loved

So you damn me?
So you, damn, me?
No...fuck...You

Fuck...your beliefs
Fuck...your divine promises
Fuck your dreams of exaltation
Fuck all of those who has preached, the swine, called God

Confront me now
Defiler of human desire
Voracious hordes await, the hour of ascension
Unravel their, delusion
Their translucent, divinity

The bloodshed
Begin the bloodshed

For blasphemy is the pure blood, within us all
Hear the siren of death from, high above
The upheaval of an unholy war
Has now...begun

I am the hammered nail
Piercing, your forsaken, flesh

Burn down their churches...engulfed by hatred
Tear down their kingdom...incinerate his vision
Destroy their icons...pulled from their neck
The exodus of faith...their will we did break

Shattering the hope they once loved
Shattering the hope they once...loved

I, alone, befoul the name, of your Gods
Despised icon, of offal

Defame the names, of all your dead Gods
Vomit upon the path, of salvation
Watch the creator, succumb to extinction
The hunter now the hunted
You become the prey for us...all
You become the prey for us...all

For we are the Icons of Evil.


3. SCORNED

Nihilistic conquest
Ravish your belief, in, God
Heaps of carnage
March through the path, of, scattered remnants

A gift for mankind, that was Heaven sent
The mortars of annihilation

These are your faithful
Dead from the writings, of false scriptures
Venomous supremacy
Spreads within, the mind, of the wicked

Lust for retaliation, after the fall of dawn
Just to die, in sight of the, sun

Brought to light, a cause unbeknown to them
Commence the process of deterioration
Christianity, abhorred
Begin the decimation of reverence
Your life, and spirit...Scorned

Cleanse the earth...through havoc-induced ferocity
Rejoice...this ravishing of, unmerciful, beauty
No God...no beast
Opening the gates...flood the earth, with cruelty
Burning the path, to peace...bow to your God of impurity
No God...no beast

Carnal dreams of pestilence and decay
Awaken to your world of God
Now devoid and abandoned
Blinded from the sight
So impure and callous
Vision erased
Salvation has renounced the hearts of the fallen

Salvation has renounced, the hearts, of the fallen

The balance of faith has been shifted
Consumed by the light...vehement, for deliverance
Spreads the contamination, within the righteous
Leading them towards the abyss, of blood and wickedness

So be it...I am the enemy
So be it...I am the one you seek
So be it...I have no sympathy or empathy
It is done...my words and life, bleed blasphemy

The balance of faith has been shifted
Consumed by the light...vehement, for deliverance
Spreads the contamination, within the righteous
Leading them towards the abyss, of blood and wickedness

So be it...I am the enemy
So be it...I am the one you seek
So be it...I have no sympathy or empathy
It is done...my words and life, bleed, blasphemy

Nihilistic conquest
Ravish your belief, in, God
Heaps of carnage
March through the path, of, scattered remnants

A gift for mankind, that was Heaven sent
The mortars of annihilation

These are your faithful
Dead from the writings, of false scriptures
Venomous supremacy
Spreads within, the mind, of the wicked

Lust for retaliation, after the fall of dawn
Just to die, in sight of the, sun

Brought to light, a cause unbeknown, to them
Commence the process of deterioration
Christianity, abhorred
Begin the decimation of reverence
Your life, and spirit...Scorned

Cleanse the earth...through havoc-induced ferocity
Rejoice...this ravishing of, unmerciful, beauty
No God...no beast
Opening the gates...flood the earth, with cruelty
Burning the path, to peace...bow to your God of impurity
No God...no beast

Only to leave, man to shit upon, this, kingdom of divinity.


4. BORN TO RAPE THE WORLD

Untouched by grace
Fallen are the messengers
Hymns of the profane
Unheard by the pious
Revere the inverted...hypocrite
As we breed to the sound of the hammering nail

Befoul the teachings of divinity

Words shall unveil, the silent, truth
Like razors through the flesh of the divine
Severing, the artery from God
Abandoned and devoured, by the larvae, of those who abhor
Distant, lull
Deep in the subconscious
Unstoppable urge...uncontrolled
Now coming to the surface
Their eyes are blind
But the dead shall always see
The coming, entity

All will witness as the undeniable truth unfolds
For they now know the truth that Heaven, is, no...more

Unborn, unblessed and unknowing
Finish the deed of those who came before us
Crushing all those who oppose (x2)

Invert the One, nailed to wood
Being ravished, over and over again
This shrine of rapture
Lead them to this world of deceit
Engulfed by, your avarice
Killing, their faith, completely (x2)

He was Born to Rape the World
He was Born to Rape the World

It is, meant to be
Their breath of life...stolen by me
Dead blood will, deface their dreams, of pure, lucidity

He was Born to Rape the World
He was Born to Rape the World

Left in awe
The cessation of perseverance
A memory unbecoming
Devotion shall drown those who follow
The God they seek...shall be unhallowed

Untouched by grace
Fallen are the messengers
Hymns of the profane
Unheard by the pious
Revere the inverted...hypocrite
As we breed to the sound of the hammering nail

Befoul the teachings of divinity

Words shall unveil, the silent, truth
Like razors through the flesh of the divine
Severing, the artery from God
Abandoned and devoured, by the larvae, of those who abhor
Distant, lull
Deep in the subconscious
Unstoppable urge...uncontrolled
Now coming to the surface
Their eyes are blind
But the dead shall always see
The coming, entity

All will witness as the undeniable truth unfolds
For they now know the truth that Heaven, is, no...more

Unborn, unblessed and unknowing
Finish the deed of those who came before us
Crushing all those who oppose (x2)

He was Born to Rape the World
He was Born to Rape the World

It is, meant to be
Their breath of life...stolen by me
Dead blood will, deface their dreams, of pure, lucidity

He was Born to Rape the World
He was Born to Rape the World

Invert the One, nailed to wood
Being ravished, over and over again
This shrine of rapture
Lead them to this world of deceit
Engulfed by, your avarice
Killing, their faith, completely

Invert the One, nailed to wood
Being ravished, over and over again
This shrine of rapture
Lead them to this world of deceit
Engulfed by, your avarice
Killing, their faith

Completely...completely...completely...completely.


5. REBORN...THE UPHEAVAL OF NIHILITY

Jesus...the Antichrist
Jesus...the Antichrist

Bringer, of all the world's, plagues and death
True are the words of those before us
The ones who prophesied the end of time
Was the pawn for their, unbecoming

Jesus...the Antichrist
Jesus...the Antichrist

Look upon the pages, of the scripture
The instructions of the, revelations within
The coming of war, is the true, word of God
Extinction of man, will, prevail

You brought this ravaging upon yourself
Tyrant of the weak
They forced you to believe
Jehovah...we cum on, the whores who revere

Jesus...the Antichrist
Jesus...the Antichrist

Deny the One
False giver of hope
Your innocence, was, befouled
For you have been, deceived
By the king, of absurdity

Oh, this leaves a warm taste, of asperity
The fading of renouncement, breeds within
Their structure of what life, should become
Is the downfall, of mankind

Oh, this leaves a warm taste of asperity
The fading of renouncement breeds within
The once mighty now has fallen
Comes the silence, of, their, fears

This is the time of Anti-Christian upheaval
To forever close, their undeserving eyes
Through the land, of the vanquished
The trail of blood, will...flood this sanctity

Underneath the lining, of their words
Comes the true blood of, evil
Reborn...the Upheaval of Nihility

Underneath the lining, of their words
Comes the true blood of, evil
Reborn...the Upheaval of Nihility

Release the pain, of enslavement

Now

Jesus...the Antichrist
Jesus...the Antichrist

Bringer, of all the world's, plagues and death
True are the words of those before us
The ones who prophesied the end of time
Was the pawn for their, unbecoming

Jesus...the Antichrist
Jesus...the Antichrist

Look upon the pages, of the scripture
The instructions of the, revelations within
The coming of war, is the true, word of God
Extinction of man, will, prevail

You brought this ravaging upon yourself
Tyrant of the weak
They forced you to believe
Jehovah...we cum on, the whores who revere

Jesus...the Antichrist
Jesus...the Antichrist

Deny the One
False giver of hope
Your innocence, was, befouled
For you have been, deceived
By the king, of absurdity

Oh, this leaves a warm taste, of asperity
The fading of renouncement, breeds within
Their structure of what life, should become
Is the downfall, of mankind

Oh, this leaves a warm taste of asperity
The fading of renouncement breeds within
The once mighty now has fallen
Comes the silence, of, their, fears

This is the time of Anti-Christian upheaval
To forever close, their undeserving eyes
Through the land, of the vanquished
The trail of blood, will...flood this sanctity.


6. HAMMER DOWN THE NAILS

Hammer Down the...Nails

Unfurl the coming aeon
The world as you see it...will be gone
Thrust into chaos
Unpredicted, prophecies unfold

Like wolves...we encircle and lure them in, for the kill
Onrush of hate...begin the cleansing of their will

Unadorned
The cross you bear, is only the beginning
The symbol you once embraced
Now has a new, and sickening meaning

Like wolves...we encircle and lure them in, for the kill
Onrush of hate...begin the cleansing of their will

Repulsed of your former life
True self-worth, abandoned
Become the icon of failure
The God whose name became...nothing

We defile...in the name of purity
We violate...in the name of sacredness
We deny...in the name of faith
We destroy...in the name of God
In the name of...God

No light shall pierce, the ebony drape
Wordless, will be the righteous
Glorify, in the horror
As the Lord did, abscond

No light shall pierce, the ebony drape
Wordless, will be the righteous
Glorify, in the horror
As blackened eyes, will see, no, more

Unfurl the coming aeon
The world as you see it...will be gone
Thrust into chaos
Unpredicted, prophecies unfold
Like wolves...we encircle and lure them in, for the kill
Onrush of hate...begin the cleansing of their will

Unadorned
The cross you bear, is only the beginning
The symbol you once embraced
Now has a new, and sickening meaning
Like wolves...we encircle and lure them in, for the kill
Onrush of hate...begin the cleansing of their will

Repulsed of your former life
True self-worth, abandoned
Become the icon of failure
The God whose name became...nothing

We defile...in the name of purity
We violate...in the name of sacredness
We deny...in the name of faith
We destroy...in the name of God
In the name of...God

Hammer Down the...Nails.


7. SHRAPNEL EMBEDDED FLESH

Prepare the coming of Shrapnel Embedded Flesh
The new communion
Tomorrow is the dawning of the age
Of ammunition

Through my eyes
He is the creator of...fear
He is the creator of...lies
He is the creator of...suffering
The cancer of mankind

For we are kings, of, our domain
The rule supreme, we shall regain

Through his eyes
He is the creator of...life
He is the creator of...peace
Then by the words of their book
He's the true creator of...war

Complete, decimation
Consumed by unrelenting voracity
Lead them into the world, of truth
By killing their faith completely

Their truth has finally, come undone
As their eyes are blackened, by the sun

The words of God that burns inside
The trust is broken
Between the one you call divine
Has left you screaming
You lied...you lied...you...lied

The words of God that burns inside
The trust is broken
Listen to the winds from the north
Our chant of triumph

We are coming
We are coming
Our force of hate will show the true face of God (x2)

Prepare the coming of Shrapnel Embedded Flesh
The new communion
Tomorrow is the dawning of the age
Of ammunition

Through my eyes
He is the creator of...fear
He is the creator of...lies
He is the creator of...suffering
The cancer of mankind

For we are kings, of, our domain
The rule supreme, we shall regain

Through his eyes
He is the creator of...life
He is the creator of...peace
Then by the words of their book
He's the true creator of...war

Complete, decimation
Consumed by unrelenting voracity
Lead them into the world, of truth
By killing their faith completely

Their truth has finally come undone
As their eyes are blackened, by the sun

The words of God that burns inside
The trust is broken
Between the one you call divine
Has left you screaming
You lied...you lied...you...lied

The words of God that burns inside
The trust is broken
Listen to the winds from the north
Our chant of triumph

We are coming
We are coming
Our force of hate will show the true face of God (x2)

Gone...are the signs of salvation
Gone...are the signs of revelation
Gone...are the signs of your, fucking God
Collapse into misery...life exhausted
Wretched be thy name

Eradicate...your grip of denomination
Abrogation...the taste of Judas, upon your lips
Forgotten...dishonored and discarded
Collapse into misery...life exhausted
Your name torn from the pages of life.


8. 'TILL DEATH

Unleash the sickness
Infecting the soul which will now depart
Unearth the forsaken
Dimming the glare of eternal light
Only to be erased, by the awaiting devastation
May his name be remembered, no more

Predestined existence
Their eyes bleed the lies divine
Imperious deception
Admonish those who made you bleed
Foresee the coming, of retribution
Prepare them for the day, of, slaughter

Let them hate...so long as they fear
As they did of us...for so many years
Complete voraciousness...towards their will, of man

Through the hours, of our pre-eminence
The words of God, we shall blame
Disembowel the souls to be released into the void
Their essence, now ordained

Torrents of fury
Begin the process, of deconstruction
The obedient wait
As their structure of life, begins to decay

From the inside, out
Upon the knees, and hands
Drain the sanctity, from their veins
Drowning from, the pain

The end of existence...devour the land, from end to end
His gates are ablaze...devour the palace of peace
My words and my will, shall be law...'Till...Death

Through the hours, of our pre-eminence
The words of God, we shall blame
Disembowel the souls to be released into the void
Their essence, now ordained

Let them hate...so long as they fear
As they did of us...for so many years
Complete voraciousness...towards the will, of man

Predestined existence...their eyes bleed the lies divine
Imperious deception
Admonish those who made you bleed
Foresee the coming, of retribution
Prepare them for the day, of, slaughter

Torrents of fury
Begin the process, of deconstruction
The obedient wait
As their structure of life, begins to decay

From the inside, out
Upon the knees, and hands
Drain the sanctity, from their veins
Drowning from, the pain

Unleash the sickness
Infecting the soul which will now depart
Unearth the forsaken...dimming the glare of eternal light
Only to be erased by the awaiting devastation
May his name be remembered, no more

The end of existence...devour the land from end to end
His gates are ablaze...devour the palace of peace
My words and my will shall be law...'Till...Death

Watch as their faith, begins to, disintegrate.


9. IN INFAMY

Hail to the fallen ones
Praise our fallen ones

They walked with, the darkness
They lived through pain, and suffering
No regrets...steamroll right through the herd
Never looking back

Through their veins
Flows the blackest of blood...heathens arise
Sweep forth the sickle of abomination
Continue their, murderous fury
Ripped from our hands
Hear the cries of those left, behind

Full force, through the storm of retribution
Through life was cut short
Your memory...will carry on

Remember the fallen
Through celebration of the human, kings

Look towards the sky
That is where I'll never be
Walking the path of the wicked
Their deeds shall live In Infamy

Look towards the sky
That is where I'll never be
Walking the path of the wicked
Their deeds shall live In Infamy

Hail to the fallen ones
Praise our fallen ones

They walked with, the darkness
They lived through pain, and suffering
No regrets...steamroll right through the herd
Never looking back

Through their veins
Flows the blackest of blood...heathens arise
Sweep forth the sickle of abomination
Continue their, murderous fury
Ripped from our hands
Hear the cries of those left, behind

Full force, through the storm of retribution
Through life was cut short
Your memory...will carry on

Remember the fallen
Through celebration of the human, kings

Look towards the sky
That is where I'll never be
Walking the path of the wicked
Their deeds shall live In Infamy

Look towards the sky
That is where I'll never be
Walking the path of the wicked
Their deeds shall live In Infamy.


10. DISCIPLES OF HELL (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN COVER)

In the darkness, they will gather
Conjuring the one
Burning candles, incantations
Human sacrifice
Getting drunk from blood, not wine
Pointy daggers shine
Out of fire, smoke and brimstone
The dreaded one will rise

Rise...burn...rise

Nobody knows, who's the Disciples of Hell
Father's a priest and he's casting a spell
No one can stop, what's already begun
Worshiping darkness and Lucifer's son

Victims of the grand illusion
Screams of ecstasy
Fools are lost in mass confusion
Searching for the key

Nobody knows, who's the Disciples of Hell
Father's a priest and he's casting a spell
No one can stop, what's already begun
Worshiping darkness and Lucifer's son

Raise your cup and praise the Prince of Darkness
See the truth of the power within the beast
And when the time has come
The Gates of Hell, shall open

Burning candles, incantations
Human sacrifice
Out of fire, smoke and brimstone
The dreaded one will rise

Rise

Nobody knows, who's the Disciples of Hell
Father's a priest and he's casting a spell
No one can stop, what's already begun
Worshiping darkness and Lucifer's son.
