1. Possessed by the Serpents vengeance
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
we dwell in purity
beneath a sea of abundance
content with the nurture
of our native land
we are awakened in torment
stabbed by the oppressors blade
a silence
slashed by tyranny's
hostile face
provoke they must
the righteous sons
invading our dwelling
and yield we shall not
restrain us
and we shall strike
at the throats of our
oppressors possessed by the
serpents vengance
hold us down and you shall know
the fury that dwells within
your wrath coiled around the earth
your venom courses it veins
strike at their fear
destroy their kingdoms
with your poisonous rage
revenge
pulsing through seas of a blind age
appear in their dreams
as a hellish crusade
suppression, condemnation
to spit away
probing with your morality
bore us not with your profanity
for those who rose
shall strike
with the serpents vengance
2. Slaying the lambs
++++++++++++++++++++
i walk the landscape
as a newborn plague
i see the land infested
by gods holy worms
scattered around they lie
christ's soldiers
untameable flames rage
over distant horizons
shades roar across the crimson sky
demons - seeking their prey
christ's lambs
ash - death - fire - chaos
see the murdered children
their faith in christ
being crushed by darkness
natures truth
mortals and nightmares
blood and bones
flames and corpses
the world burning
in a merciless godless mayhem
piles of corpses
monument of war
thrilled by the stench
of christian blood
mother earths men march
the power of darkness
glows in their blackened eyes
the lies of christianity
shall no longer be heard
not ever again
shall our world be branded
by lies
ash - death - fire - chaos
see the murdered children
their faith in christ
being crushed by darkness
natures truth
3. Ascension of terror
++++++++++++++++++++++
i am hear to bring fear into your life
like the icy north wind i live
no matter where you run
i will be there
i will tease you endlessly
you will feel the pain
you will know my name
you are bound by might
i will feel you with terror
i will hunt you with delight
you will know i'll be stalking you
you'll be trapped in my cold embrace
i will tease you endlessly
you will feel the fear
you will know my name
you are bound by might
as my prey you will feed my infinite hunger
i will gaze into your eyes and devour you
in bliss i will shred your existence
beyond panic - you will - die
4. The Essence of the Elder
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
leaving the dismay of the world behind
traveling in the essence of chaos
time and matter dissolving about me
a journey beyond death
your blood pulses with a thousand years of
existence
standing proud before those who's ageless blood
flows through my veins
their spiraling souls empower me
visions of chaos
illuminating the shadows of old
as endless links weaved
into a web of existence
each thread providing a spectrum of lives
a union of blood, a union of souls
an endless bond sworn and upheld
i walk with you
over the fields you bled red
through fires that finally devoured you
through your dreams and your nightmares
as wolves we run
as eagles we fly
as your blood and honor flow through me
so will i honor you
through incarnations of strength
eternally
leaving the dismay of the world behind
traveling in the essence of time
time and matter dissolving about me
a journey beyond death
5. Warlust
++++++++++
i break the chains that holds the storm
i feel its pulse it hammers the sky
volcanic winds of blooded rage
mind tearing frost
shall provide brutal death
once again you shall feel
the darkened realms
warriors
by our will you will kneel
beneath us you will always stand
your poisoned soul belongs to me
war - war - war
warlust
remembrance
we know you know the pain
intensified it shall become
drenched the fields of war
know what we possess
dimensions of pain
intensified suffering
dimensions of pain
intensified suffering
volcanic winds of blood red rage
mind tearing frost
shall provide brutal death
by our will you will kneel
beneath us you will always stand
your poisoned souls belongs to me
war - war - war
warlust
remembrance
we know you know the pain
intensified it shall become
6. Wrath of the WarLord
+++++++++++++++++++++++
time for gathering
beware of the barriers they are weak
blinded we were led astray
behold as the truth of might returns
manipulation
open your eyes and see your failure
the whirlwinds of my destiny
blackened might
the eternity has no throne for you
you pretended to be a god
you carved lies into minds
now the lies shall die with you
i will show you the face of a god
the wary lust for torture
roars inside of me
now you will die
the whirlwinds of your destiny
feel the blade of fire
as it cuts your mortal soul
fragile souls yet blessed by eternity
find strength in unity
there is none above and none beneath
you are the gods
the lords and queens of darkness
and glorified immortality
7. Burning the Shroud
+++++++++++++++++++++
within you it lies since the rise of your time
you've feared it ignored but truth never lies
its existence marked at the birth of time
the darkness inside
the shadows
that dance in your soul
to deny is to fear
embrace the darkness
reveal in its power
within it lies the harmonious truth
a voyage into the cave of shadows
yields the jewels of knowledge and wisdom
does not the night
and the silver moon
enchant your being
the caressing whisper of the night
no harm will come to those who are true of heart
look to the sun and the brightness shall blind you
stare into the black embrace
the sight deepened with wisdom
free your consciousness
accept the reality of darkness
it has never been a place of dread
knowledge and wisdom
is given to those who seek
achieve the empowerment
of endless mysterious nights
8. Denial of Salvation
++++++++++++++++++++++
for all the thousands i've killed
for all the children i've tortured
for all the souls i've burned
hear a demons cry
the darkened lusts
you carved into me
suffocates the remains
of my human sanity why me
this i never desired
see me
free me
unchain me
this life eternal
is not what you spoke off
why this horned, grim face
this cold, black body
i want to be
set free
save me free me unchain me
i am a demon
i serve the wicked
i'm trapped eternally
now i must return
to dimensions of
rage - pain - war - -hate
where's my god
9. The Lair of Anubis
+++++++++++++++++++++
breathe the scent of death
tombs of ancient souls
lie in sacred forms
ruler of the dead
speak the names of might
hold the sacred rite
once you walked the earth
now to dwell in the
chambers of a lost
time
hear me see me
do my will
arise arise
from the realm of death
stand to judge
the souls
off those who pass
through your
funeral chamber
weigh the hearts
of those
who enter into your
kingdom of eternity
anoint their bodies
with sacred oils
depart your knowledge
from the sacred - scripts
command
your darkened
battalions of
messenger - demons
hear me - hear me - hear me - hear me
arise - arise
from the realm of death
hear me - see me
do my will
