VIOLENT DEATH RITUALS
Violent Death Rituals, disturbing ways to die,
Violent Death Rituals, Unholy sacrifice
Violent Death Rituals, defiling the deceased,
Violent Death Rituals, so they can rest in peace
Endo-cannibalism, feasting on the dead
I express my eternal love, by ripping you to shreds
A permanent connection, between the living and the dead
A cathartic acceptation, of death’s tragic aftermath
At the funeral of the Viking chieftain, the widow paid the price
Raped by many men, stabbed, strangled, left to die
The bodies of man and wife, on a wooden ship set alight
So she could serve her master, in eternal afterlife
Violent Death Rituals, to enter afterlife,
Violent Death Rituals, unholy sacrifice
lead: Paul
Your body’s just a vessel, you leave it when you die, your corpse sustains the life
When your fate is sealed, your body is a meal, for the vultures in the sky
Ritual dissection, a Tibetan tradition, prepare for your sky burial
Summoning the spirits, by tearing you apart, a ‘dignified’ ritual
lead: Stephan
Victimized by Sharia laws, whipped or stoned to death
Hung for blasphemy, crucified for theft
Thrown headfirst from a building for deviant sexuality
Raped, yet sentenced for adultery, welcome to the 21st century

The Silent War

THE SILENT WAR
Like a Trojan horse behind enemy lines, you’ve sown the seeds for your demise
The dawn of bloodshed ever so near, time has come to face your fears
lead: Stephan
lead: Paul
Like a wolf among the sheep, it preys upon the mild and meek
The silent war has begun, Dawah is her, no place to run
Indoctrination, subjugation, subordination,
Humiliation, incarceration, decapitation
Impure faith prepares for genocide!
Ignorance… and naivety, victimized… by hypocrisy
Put a blanket over a snake, that won't make it disappear
It just builds up more venom, and will feed on your fear
You failed your people, and they will pay, you’ll make sure, that you’ll be safe
But one day you will pay the price, for facilitating genocide
All the blood that’s on your hands, will float back to you and drown you in the end
Stirring the cauldron, inflicting rage
Sowing discord, yet keep them caged
You sacrificed them, and looked away
For your betrayal they will pay
Indoctrination, subjugation, subordination,
Humiliation, incarceration, decapitation

Unholy Predators

UNHOLY PREDATORS
The sun no longer rises, the light no longer shines
Their innocence taken, touched by the hand divine
The young…the pure…victimized…in the obscure
These men of god so vile, disgusting paedophiles
Keep coming back for more, Unholy predators
The holy church, can’t hide the truth no more
And cover up the sins of these predators
The house of god, a closed facility
For deviant, sexual debauchery
,,So let the children come to me, misuse, abuse I guarantee
My excuse: celibacy, Unnatural matrimony”
lead: Paul
Devoid of emotions, bereft of human touch
No empathy, [just] unbridled sexual lust
The holy church, can’t hide the truth no more
And cover up the sins of these predators
,,So let the children come to me, misuse, abuse I guarantee
My excuse: celibacy, unnatural matrimony
The wings of death are howling, the reaper’s calling you
Now hear the banshees crying, the sands of time are running low…

The Outer Darkness

THE OUTER DARKNESS
Sightings of black ravens, they always come in threes
Harbingers of misery, apocalyptic destiny
Watch – the – skies - read – the - signs
Follow – the - path – to - your – inevitable demise!
Your fate - lies beyond - the gates - of doom
The Outer Darkness, where the worthless souls will dwell
Ostracized, no one will live to tell
No return, no escape, no way out, face your fate
As the tyrant dies, his reign comes to an end
But as a martyr dies, his kingdom will commence
Make your choice, don’t hesitate, right or wrong, choose your fate
Shrouded in misery, in darkness you dwell, towards the portal of Hell
The chilling path, the road to despair, that leads to the demon’s lair
The Outer Darkness, where the worthless souls will dwell
Ostracized, no one will live to tell
As the tyrant dies, his reign comes to an end
But as a martyr dies, his kingdom will commence
Live and die for what you believe, until your final breath
Baptised in blood, rid you of sins,
cleansed by the ritual of death…of death!

Burn The Books Of Hate

BURN THE BOOKS OF HATE
Burn the books of hate, poisoning the mind,
For aeons and aeons, they have misguided mankind
Ignite your church, your mosque, your synagogue
We will never bow for any demagogue
Sins of the past, terror from the vault
The cause of global conflict, it’s all your fault
Read between the lies, and the sickening doctrines
They’ve been planning your demise, for many centuries
They broke your free will, you followed them like sheep
Now you pay the price, as you pray your soul to keep
Humanity’s demise, a blessing not a curse
Sins of the past, Terror from the vault
The cause of global conflict, it’s all your fault
Step into the void, the portal to the dark
We’ve come from beyond, to bring the day of wrath
You set the world aflame, nothing more to gain
The flames are growing higher as we build your funeral pyre
Humanity’s demise; a blessing not a curse
A new breed will arise, for better or for worse
Burn the books of hate, poisoning the mind,
For aeons and aeons, they have misguided mankind
Ignite your mosque, your church, your synagogue
We will never bow for any demagogue
Sins of the past, terror from the vault
The cause of global conflict, it’s all your fault
Humanity’s demise; a blessing not a curse
A new breed will arise, for better or for worse

It Always Ends In Blood

IT ALWAYS ENDS IN BLOOD
Sacrifice …. the blood, the flesh,
Addicted to … this carnal rush
No compassion, ignore the cries
I erased empathy and guilt from my mind
I am here to serve the greater good
There’s no other way, it always ends in blood
Pain, fear, art
With passion and with pride I leave my mark
Your skin …becomes my canvas
The pain and pleasure will be endless
No compassion, ignore the cries
I erased empathy and guilt from my mind
I am here to serve the greater good
There’s no other way, it always ends in blood
Flesh, blood, fire, carnal desire!
Tonight, I sacrifice, tonight you’re victimized
Tonight, I play god, it always ends in blood
The ritual of carnal calligraphy
The most personal piece of art you can receive
Tonight I sacrifice, tonight you’re victimized
Tonight, I play god, it always ends in blood
lead : Stephan
lead : Paul

CORPORATE INDOCTRINATION
All your prayers, all your cries for peace, they don't mean a fucking thing
It's all part of your self-deceit, you let the enemy walk in
In denial of the mess you made, you chose to look the other way
Betrayal and incompetence, it’s written all over your face
You just laugh at all the shit you caused, you're still in charge you are "the boss"
Your people suffer, you don’t give a fuck, too busy sucking corporate cock
Representing just the elitists, the common man you despise
You are a human disgrace … go die!
Fed with lies every day every night, information overdose fills your mind
Being pushed to the left and the right, numb from terror, hate and crime
Corporate indoctrination supreme, by your politically correct regime
In the name of your fake democracy, silencing the ones who dare to speak
The voice of the few, imposed as the rule
But your power will not last, you’ll become a relic of the past
lead: Paul

Corporate indoctrination supreme, by your politically correct regime

Your power will not last, you’ll be a fucking relic of the past
You tried to keep us down, but we’ve come, we’ve come to wear your crown

SENT FROM HELL (I INFIDEL)
Out for blood, I’ve come to purge
One by one, now it’s your turn
You fed the fire, that burns inside
Time to suffer, time to die
I heard the voices, inside my head
I attack the place, where you feel safe
This once warm womb, becomes your tomb
As I point my gun, the game is on
Hand of fate, my hand of doom
I heard the voices, inside my head
I keep hearing voices, inside my head,
,,kill them all! Kill them dead”
lead: Martin
I hear the voices, (I hear the voices) inside my head (inside my head)
,,kill them all! (kill them all!) Kill them dead”
I hear the voices, (I hear the voices) inside my head (inside my head)
,,kill them all! (kill them all!) Kill them dead”
Lined up on your knees, facing the east
As a hail of bullets whistles round your ears
Sent from hell, I infidel
In a psychotic rage, I bring you pain
Out for blood, I’ve come to purge
One by one, now it’s your turn
You fed the fire, that burns inside
Time to suffer, time to die
I hear the voices, (I hear the voices) inside my head (inside my head)
,,kill them all! (kill them all!) Kill them dead”
I hear the voices, (I hear the voices) inside my head (inside my head)
,,kill them all! (kill them all!) Kill them fucking dead”

LEGACY OF THE GODS (CD only)
Screaming For Vengeance, avenging Satan’s Fall
Show No Mercy, we’ve come to Kill ’Em All
Hear the Cry Of The Banshee, Scream Bloody Gore
Under The Sign Of The Black Mark, We carry the Flag Of Hate
We bring Global Purification, From Beyond The Gates
Through Power And Pain, we’ll leave you Remnants Of War
Morbid Tales Of Frost and World Wars III and IV
Pray for the arrival of our Master, who will bring us Total Desaster
We patiently await The Return… When We Are Gathered…Heaven Shall Burn
Army Of The Immortals, Soldiers Of The Night
Iron Dogs, Neon Knights, Warriors Of Ice
We raise our glasses, we raise our hands
To the Masters Of Metal, the ultimate bands
In praise of your legacy, (your) perpetual art
From the bottoms of our blackened hearts!
In our quest for morbid Domination, we move Forward To Termination
The sick yet divine art of Strappado, will accompany the Dawn Of Megiddo,
Like The 4th Crusade, we’ve come here to Exterminate
None Shall Defy, Morbid Ways To Die
We are the Legions Of The Dead, you will feel Impending Dread
As Darkness Descends from the skies, behold the Creatures Of The Night
We March To Die and Slowly We Rot
On Slaughter Day Butchered At Birth, Reborn and Bonded By Blood
As Seven Churches burn, for the Emperor’s Return,
At The Sound Of The Demon Bell, I bid you Welcome To Hell
lead: Stephan
Like The 4th Crusade, we’ve come here to Exterminate
None Shall Defy, Morbid Ways To Die
As Darkness Descends from the Skies, behold the Creatures of the Night

As The Cannons Fade

AS THE CANNONS FADE
As the cannons fade, and the bodies are counted
Another hill, another mountain
This pointless routine, of our so-called war machine
Don’t dare to question why, so many have died
These nights last forever, time is passing by
The sound of distant gunfire, breaks the silence of the night
As daytime comes, and the sun starts to burn
The enemies coming, with their backs to the sun
But yet they’re too far off, to take them on
This cat and mouse game, goes on and on
Take your positions …and lay down low
…Hold your fire, until you see their eyes glow
Tired of waiting, a comrade storms the hill
Too late to hold him back, as we watch him being killed
No more plan or strategy, tactics thrown overboard
Another senseless chapter, in this godforsaken war
Going nowhere fast, how much longer can we last
It might be our turn when the sun sets in the west
Our chances of survival become smaller by the day
We’re ordered to keep fighting, there is no other way
The only way out of this never-ending hell
Is to storm that goddamned hill and arrange my own farewell
As the cannons fade
The bodies are counted
And the troops march on….
As the cannons fade
The troops march on
The troops of doom…
