The Dark Things You Fear [Instrumental] 2. Thrashomatic Overdrive Addicted to protoplasmic matter I avail myself do that wide abundance For I am the creator – they call me god This naive rattle I just cultivated to quench my thirst In my laboratory lovely named "earth" – your incubator – you grow and wilt Scrutinized and analyzed And when my work is done I simple pull the plug I am theory – and practically don't exist Syntax error – the unknown force of downfall My name a synonym for terror – my blood the elexier of horror I sustain all synthetic factors of physical composition Archieving of all nocturnal phenomenons The ultimate supervisor of statics – weaver of dimensions Listen to that voice so mellow – close your eyes and fall asleep But be on your guard not to go astray in the shades Back to generation zero – thrashomatic overdrive Enigmatic origin stain by hidden force Extinguishing the flame of mortals – systematic termination Monumental patron of the unhallowed hordes I sustain all synthetic factors of nocturnal grace 3.

Bonegrinder 1916 The smell of poison gas – fills the air No need to search for death – he will find you there Soil drained with blood – cities pulverized Dead bodies twisted – humans carbonized Bonegrinder – grinding bones – eating them alive Spitting them out dead – no one will survive War is the only answer My gun spreads bullets like cancer Bombs like rain – day and night – moving out – suicide Death angels – from the sky – descent from hell – thousands die Machinegun fire – detonations – rifle rounds – devastation Grinding bones – artillery shell – draining blood – here is hell Fire, roaring thunder – will be my coming signs Planting death and havoc – among the defense lines Thousand bodies – lay ripped and torn The sound of cannon fire – roars like thunderstorm Soil drained with blood – cities pulverized Dead bodies twisted – humans carbonized Bonegrinder – grinding bones – eating them alive Spitting them out dead – no one will survive War is the only answer My gun spreads bullets like cancer 5. Synthetic God I am the Antichrist – I am divinity – I am the coming storm – I am the sun that keeps you warm I am salvation – I am the greatest sin – I am your synthetic god – I am what dwells within You can run and try to hide – but you will find no shelter I am the new empire – built upon the ashes of the past So lustful with eyes to see – human race a whore to me Raise some glasses in the sky – and celebrate the effigy Tell me what you deserve – say what you are longing for Reveal your inmost dreams to me – playing roles in a real world pirace I am hate I am greed I am the voracious Breed I am what you are – I am the masterwhore – I am what you want me to be I make the cities turn to dust and worlds fading into grey I am the blasting silence in a world full of rust We live blinded and despised in a pleasure painted paradise We are the hate we are the greed We are the voracious breed Call me punishment and pain I am the prison you are in My embrace is never ending now be a servant to your pride Stigmata of this enslavement a world filled with scapegoats Still trying to reanimate a little bit of self respect I am the Antichrist – I am divinity – I am the coming storm – I am the sun that keeps you warm I am salvation – I am the greatest sin – I am your synthetic god – I am what dwells within Am I what you are – am I what you want me to be Are you what I am – do you laugh at my command Are you what you are – I am salvation – I am the real you Am I salvation for you too 6. Where The Oceans Meet Eternity Burning sign – in the sky – storms rise – on the northern side Thunder roars – lightning strikes – man the ships – to war we ride Demons from a place unknown – where evil dwells and dark things grow By the grace of firegods – assault our land if ice and snow Written in the prophecy ages ago – the war between fire and snow Demons unleashed from the darklands core – this time it's war My heart for the lands of winter And my sword strikes for the light For my god I will die And my fate is the shield of mine Born in the land of north and here I will die Sail across the seven seas – that is your destiny Where great evil reigns – and the oceans meet eternity The fortress of shadows – in the frozen wasteland The core of darkness – mankind's fate of is at hand Of mother of north – hold safety your sons Oh father of storms – bring us north from here Hold darkness from us – not death only failure we fear Sail across the seven seas – that is your destiny Where great evil reigns – and the oceans meet eternity The fortress of shadows – in the frozen wasteland The core of darkness – mankind's fate of is at hand Sail across the seven seas – through the seven gates of hell To the forbidden place – where great evil dwells Moving shades of black – shining eyes of fire Death hiding in the darkness – and it seems that all our gods have left Approaching the realm of fire – fighting side by side Fighting day and night – we will win or we all will die 7. Grave Without A Name As crimson colours the sky – where ravens fly Staring to the sky above – the incoming darkness And lonely we die No one who prays for us – no one who cries We die – to the place where our dead brothers lie And now the cold grips my heart I can see them coming A heart of ice – and the eyes like winter Not afraid of the coming night – remember where darkness there is a light A burning flame forever to remain Just another grave in the cold without a name Now darkness fills the sky – see the Valkyries fly A last look to the sky above – we are warriors born to die 8. Once... In The Windblasted North In between the wastelands of endless ice and snow Lays the place abandoned from mankind long ago Frozen seas of blood – towers built of flesh and bones And the presence on insanity on the shadows throne Great evil is dwelling here for ages – high in the lands of frost Stories turn to legends – and empires fall to dust – the awaking of the ancient is at hand Spreading the reign of shadows terror – high up in the abandoned land Moving shadows at the edge of the wood – where twilight found you out there all alone In the darkness and the freezing cold – and far far away from home Ages went by in a storm of years – in the wind blasted north For a time there were rumors to hear – of shadows and the dark things you fear And beneath a great mountain hidden in darkness a shadow writhed in chains Eaten by hate to the edge of madness moving figures – playing his games All figures set – for the final strike leaving me alone against a hundred – this night So I grab weapon and shield – ready to face my fate – a quick prayer comes over my lips To those gods up there who left me up there where my brothers a wait Courage was what my gods honoured – one against hundred And with all hope lost I engaged into battle But suddenly wind was rising and turned into a storm – a blizzard of ice and deadly cold It did me no harm but smashed my enemy and slayed then one by one And amidst the blizzard I could see moving shadows of my father And all my brothers I have lost in battle So my prayers have been heard in this darkest hour my northern gods have returned to me... Deadly blizzards – beasts of ice – in northern lands – where northmen rise Blessed by cold – the winteborn – to give your life for your god you've sworn Your heart for the lands of winter – and your sword strikes for the light For your god I will die And my fate is the shield of mine – born in the land of north and here I will die Ages went by in a storm of years – in the wind blasted north For a time there was a legend to hear – of a man who fought shadows and the dark things you fear Once... in the windblasted north... In between the wastelands of endless ice and snow Lays the place abandoned from mankind long ago Great evil is dwelling here for ages – high in the lands of frost Now stories turn to legends – and empires fall to dust Once... in the windblasted north... 9.

Heavy Armed Assault Armies from the gates of hell – creatures breathing ash Massive rocket impact – as the armies clash Confronting heavy armed assault – fully armored black Clashing at our boundaries – there is no turning back Burning skies – as fire begins to rain Drowning the world in endless pain – as death comes closing in Bullet impats cracking bones – seeking for your head Our defense pounded to the ground – leaving them all dead Wave by wave comes storming in – there is no end to see Ankle deep in pools of blood – dead bodies lying next to me Burning skies – as fire begins to rain Drowning the world in endless pain – as death comes closing in In the light of the dying sun – your world falls to peaces In grinding artillery fire – as pain and damage increases Bomb explosions – knocking gently on your door Hear roaring cannon fire – that's the drums of war That's our art of war You can run – but never hide Here death will always find you Kill efficiency – industrialized Genocide – mechanized Firewalls – cremating human flesh Wardemons – grinding them to death 11. Open Fire This morning has been born – without light – dim – forlorn A severe vault of clouds rushed across the open downs Black gaunt and eerie tree – skeletons danced dreadfully Tight in the claws of frost – winter showed it's ghostly host Artillery combat – flashing cannon fire – deafening sound Approaching slowly – but unstoppable leaves burned ground Nervously waiting in wretched ditches laid in ruins The last instructional orders reached us a few hours ago Now separated from allied troops assured to come But there's no more chance to flee from the superior enemy Hell racing high speed bullet machine gun monotomy Relinquishing position means to choose suzerainty Just like an enormous thunderstorm war rules the entire killing zone Below the scourge of madness and decay that burdensome commands the way A sudden detonation to my left – fire screams – a ray of heat Glowing splinters hailing down – cutting through irresistible flesh A sweetly scented reek turns the air into a sick Paralyzed breathing we undertook the last offence Open fire – breaking through the hostile lines Ravaging internecine assault Crawling through the mud – terrified of the inevitable end Our fate uncertain like that of a cutter in a storm The nameless victims – whose faces are unknown to thee Buried deep in the noman's land's mass graves Open fire – breaking through the hostile lines Ravaging internecine assault Below the scourge of madness and decay we horribly passed away 12.
