Hexe
04:42
|
|||
She was drowned as a witch
in sixteen hundred two
but her life it goes on
by the seed of the seduced
by the blood of the moon
she is young again
in the mist of the lake
where the dead trees never fall
died a virgin now holy whore
she was never satisfied
satisfaction most supreme
as your life flows through her thighs
by the blood of the moon
she is young again
in the mist of the lake
where the dead trees never fall
the old witch, she is the way
du bist eine alte Hexe, she is the way
in the world down below
in the tunnels of the dark
you will find the secret eye
that extinguishes your spark
by the blood of the moon
she is young again
in the mist of the lake
where the dead trees never fall

Bloody Earth
05:31
|
|||
Ten thousand years of fighting
It should come as no surprise
The first chance we get alone
We’re gouging out each other’s eyes
Fighting, killing, bleeding
Feeding this bloody earth
Like dogs of different breeds
Deep down we’re not the same
Those Sunday School lies
Believe and you’ll go insane
Fighting, killing, bleeding
Feeding this bloody Earth
Maybe the ancients were right
The earth needs blood to survive
One by one we all fall down
Feeding this bloody ground
Fighting, killing, bleeding
Feeding this bloody earth

Osculum Infame
03:06
|
|||
Come to me
In the night
New moon shinning
Like a blackened light
Eyes of fire
See right through
Cloven feet
I know it’s you
Voices chanting as one throat
Witching hour
Kiss the goat

Goddamned
04:08
|
|||
I alone
Moments of my life unfold
Raining down
As anger fills my soul
To this world
I regret that I was born
As I stand
To curse the rising of the Sun
Goddamned
Death is an illusion
Life’s a dead man’s dream
Building nothingness
On centuries on dust
Desolated
Armor plated, crumble
Corrode, decay
And rust
I regret that I was born
As I stand
To curse the rising of the Sun
Goddamned
Numb existence,
Your words and lies I don’t subscribe
I’m consumed by
The urge to take your flesh from life
And here untold
These acts of vengeance I bestow
The focus of my hate
Will take its’ toll on you
I regret that I was born
As I stand
To curse the rising of the Sun
Goddamned

10th of May
05:05
|
|||
It’s the stroke of midnight
On the tenth of May
This is the final day
Pleiades is hiding
Never more to shine
This is the final sign
All over the world
Nobody would see
Ignored the prophecy
Flames. All over the world I see flames
And I don’t know who’s to blame
It’s the end of the age
End of the fifth Sun
His kingdom gone. His work undone
Buried in the jungle
Hidden by the trees
Sacrifice ignored deceased
All over the world
Nobody would see
Ignored the prophecy
Flames. All over the world I see flames
And I don’t know who’s to blame

Heaven's Burning
02:37
|
|||
Unholy eve my soul bereaved
The killing of the Light
For Satan like Apollo
Lets his arrows fly by night
Into my mind these burning shafts
Bring prophecies unholy
And the terror that they bring
Forces me to tell their story
Heaven’s burning
The streets of gold ran molten
The mortals screamed and cried
They thought that there’d be no more pain
After they had died
Amidst the burning chaos
The dark angel led the fight
For evil always triumphs
In the visions of the night
Heaven’s burning
Evil lords from ages past
Joined angels now unfettered
Refought the war they;d lost before
Now turning for their better
My vision here is ended
The apostasy complete
For evil always takes my mind
When all I seek is sleep
Heaven’s burning

The Portrait
03:55
|
|||
So young and pretty
Such a pretty boy
Let me paint your portrait
You’d be an artists’ joy
Such a shame to lose it
Such a special boy
Untouched by sin yet
Strike a bargain boy
Something heard you
Accepts the vow
Never to age
Forever young somehow
And all the evil
Doesn’t touch your face
But corrupts the portrait
Leaving your flesh unchanged
Getting bored of time
Sensations don’t satisfy
Destroying your friends
This evil must end
So you kill the painter
Focus the anger now
You’ve got to be free
From this evil vow
Despise the portrait
Dorian Gray
Unsheathe the dagger
Judgement day

The Pact
05:29
|

The Pact
The night it breathes
The circle drawn
The victim readied
A new moon dawns
Now you call the spirit of your choosing
Feel its’ presence chill the air
Into the triangle, the order
If you will, you will dare
The blade catches the starlight
As it slices through the air
Plunging deep into the heart
The beast screams out its’ last breath
As the blood shoots to the sky
Lucifuge is satisfied
Call its’ name
Speak the word
It obeys
You are the lord
Chorus
A time to kill
A time to die
The world’s ready
The word you cry
Chorus
