Brutality Sea of Ignorance 1. Sea Of Ignorance Fools wearing blinders Unaware of their surroundings It has made them what they are Looking for their own glory Psyche consumes them Covering the paths others have made Followers trying to lead Overfilling vessels Only leading them to their demise Waves of reality engrossing Negative energy Helpless from what is created What they give is what they receive Communication absent No responsibility taken Leaving all to the side For things more important Burning bridges Built with trust Contractual words exchanged All for profit Doomed to fail 2. 48 To 52 Yersinia pestis Parasites living in rodents Carriers infecting victims Signs of sickness in days Pneumonic attack, with fever and chills Abdominal pain Feeling breath shorten 6 out of 10 on every street 6 out of 10 in every family 5 million dead, in only 9 months Taking the young, the rich and the poor Middle ages Bubonic symptoms Lymph nodes enlarged Bleeding skin, appears to be black Thick vile mixed with green scum Granting remission of sin To all that will die 6 out of 10 on every street 6 out of 10 in every family 5 million dead, in only 9 months Taking the young, the rich and the poor 3. Fatal Cure Since the beginning of man Survival of the fittest Overcoming all in its path War and pain No regards for its destruction Medical breakthroughs Curing all the sickness Overpopulation All resources depleted Global disasters Leaving the land inhabitable For life Human disease Ourselves, cleansed from the earth Free of its cancer Nature takes its course Nothing is left alive Generations lost Civilization abandoned All is gone Cowering in their fear Ruled by weakness The end is here Man's final hour 4. Tribute Possessed in a pandemonium Entombed, then unleashed Blood feast At the gates of sodom Hypocrisy from the kreator Trouble on the edge of sanity Fate, corrosion of conformity Dismembered with artistic butchery A sinister massacre of the priest Dark funeral, morbid eulogy Dissection of the carcass Napalm brings death Emperor, sitting on the dark throne Macabre carnage of the corpse Acheron, lifetime of shame Venom in the iron maiden The slayer of morgoth Hellwitch, countless bathory Sacrifice on the sabbath 5. Perpetual Resolution Damaging words That have pierced my soul Unable to return from the pain They have brought upon me Trying to escape from reality That is covered in the thoughts Of crushed dreams Mental disorder Living day to day Appearing to be cured Darkness runs deep Prescribing toxins To heal the mind Sinking deeper into depression Others will never understand Disturbing images Light dims on the horizon Seems to never get closer The end will stop the torture Suicide The permanent solution 6. Barbarically Beheaded Biblical traditions Scriptural justification To execute the condemned Gaining stature publicity Religious extremists Meeting unbelievers in battle Smite at their necks Execution ritual Thoroughly subdued Bind the captive Kneeling, confessing Reading off offenses Time for ransom Rubric condoning the act Condemnation by authorities Recruitment tool Agents of the apocalypse Express their horror What bleeds, leads Offensive, frightening New phenomenon of primal warfare Combined with modern technology The ultimate sign of power 7. Shores In Flames [originally by Bathory]Mother winter leaves our land And opens wide the seas The lukewarm breeze does beckon me As it whispers through the trees It says: Set your sails And let me take your ship to foreign shores Take farewell of those near you And your land of the North! The wild cold deep black ocean's waves Invites my hungry heart Cry not my love I'll return Only death can keep us apart Oden in the sky up high Let the Ravens of yours fly To guide us on our sail to foreign shores Let your Ravens fly The wind blows through my hair And fills our sails with hope and pride Caress these lines of Oak, wind Do not throw us all aside The wild cold deep black ocean's waves As wide as sky above Carry us, oh, Gods of sea Don't take us down below Now approach the shore at dawn All is still the light of daybreak is yet to be born Clad in morning dew asleep The city's walls rise before us men from the seas Carrying cold steel at our sides No time to lose at sunbirth we attack the city by surprise Down the coastlines with the wind we reign Men of the North we leave the shores in flames Shores in Flames Shores in Flames Shores in Flames Shores in Flames Fire! Tor of thunder way up high Swing your Hammer that cracks the sky Send the wind to fill our sails and take us home Guide your sons, us, home When the wind cries out my name And time has come for me to die Then wrap me in my cape And lay my sword down at my side Then place me on a ship of Oak And let it drift with tide Let the flames purify my soul On its way to hall up high Up high Up high Up high Up high Fire! 8. End Of Days Nine one one Manufactured lies Thousands gone Lust for power, endless greed Face the facts Freedoms raped as the towers fall Survivors crying to be freed They feed you with thoughts of hate In a void of despair Corruption of the mind Until they're satisfied Destiny unfolds Right before their eyes Landscapes of obscurity Despising all life Jeff Acres: Bass, Vocals Jay Fernandez: Guitars Scott Reigel: Vocals Ruston Grosse: Drums
