The Rack 1. The Quest Of Absurdity [Intro] 2. Vermin Hordes of disgust Hungrs, hasty, roaming at night Red eyes leering Apparitions of the darkest kind Heinous rodents The past of the modern agglomeration Living terror Indestructable abominations Symptoms of the fulminant deseases The number of infected ones increases Inimical towards the human race Death in it's most efficient way Ghastly creatures Enticed by decayed filth Abjective vectors Crawling in fermenting dirt Seat in stinking slime Malicious horror Still unaffected by time Spreading an awful and deadly zymotic Whole parts of mankind contaminated Bubonic plague, immortal enemy Several populations attained Verrucous corpses lie in the alley Mephitic cadavers are rotting away The livin covered with furuncles Vermin, infesting another decade 3. Diabolical Existence Born to bow to the altar of the lord Learn and pray Watching you from above to dominate Manipulate with this book Caress an abstraction It's only in your mind Useless denial of reality Diabolic existence The root of evil is you Centuries of inquisition to burn your own mistake Your eyes are the eyes of malevolence Your horns are your faith and your cruelty Your thoughts are corrupted with deceit Honesty was burned at the stake Agonize, brutalize crawl in disgust the end of the truth is the beginning of your fate The horns and the eyes of malice Deceit is the name of the game 4. Evocation Deep in your mind in subconscious voice Eager to call, he who's guarding the gates Feast of evoking, he who comes from the depth Circle of Seance, in a trance of decay Mass for abyss, so it will be done Die! Only a soul, is worth his affection Giving your life, his only need And at the gate the Master is waiting Come, kneel and beg for his grace One out of all has the priviledge of approval The rest remains dwelling through the crypts of knowledge Fighting the powers of forgiveness, remain an evil black soul Only a soul, is worth his affection Giving your life that's all he needs Circle of seance, not one soul will awake Eager to call, mass for abyss And at the gate the Master was waiting Only one of all had priviledge of power The rest is there to die a thousand deaths 5. Wasteland Of Terror Beyond the horizon A frightened nightmare begins The ultimate agony Dimension of sin Gateway to Death Realm of darkness Empire of chaos Engulfed madness Wasteland of Terror Blasphemous Land Shadows in blood The slumbering damned Scream at the gallows As raven pick out their eyes Eternal torment Suffer in this paradise Absorbed in insanity Souls dwell in depths of pain Roaring with laughter As the dead die rattling again 6. The Sickening Dwell Stench of Death welcomes you in a crypt of agony Dwelling in morbid thoughts Awake, forgotten misery Crawling maggots paradise Rats consuming flesh Hanging stiff on hooks In the statement of his Eden Searching for the truth Root of life Sickening experience Reaper's knife Sick, evil, god, The abomination Right, wrong, human Beast, angel, divine, morbid revelation Labyrinth of mind 7. Ode To A Nameless Grave [no lyrics] 8. Pages In Blood Words written in blood And the book was bound in flesh Rites from a distant mind And the source was unrevealed Pages in blood Defiled words of truth and life Invocation of the gods The meaning of the seven seals I have heard the unheard cries Of a thousand dwelling souls No one ever dared to go Where the deceiver is the god On a throne of thousand lies And the wisdom never dies Conjuration - Choronzon Invocation - ritual defiled In a land beyond my mind An evil yet unseen An evil that is called life Spoken were the unholy names Anger from behind the seven gates I have seen the pleasures of the paradise Pleasures known to the human race as sin Pages in blood Defiled words of truth and life Rites came from a distant mind And the source was unrevealed 9. The Rack In the dungeon Deep under ground A morbid fear Palpitations, unbearable pound Footstep outside the stairway Executioners's arrival A sinister procession Grim macabre tribunal Heretical pervert Inexorable judge The sentence is death By the grace of the church Inside the torture chamber The smell of blood and pain Iron is glowing in pits of fire Instruments of the insane The Rack: Altar of blood The Rack: Altar of pain Suffocate in blood Bones pulverized Mutilated tissue Evisceration Sawed off limbs Emasculation Human leftovers A smouldering mess Atrocious perfomance Methods of madness Inside the torture chamber Instruments covered with stains The rack has taken his victim Beyond the boundaries of pain TYPER OF THIS TEXT: Anatoly aka Hooker
