Celestial Abominations
03:35
|
|||
|
Come to me my fallen brothers
leave your heavenly abode
transgress the limits of your nature
to live free from the laws of God
Celestial abominations
outcast from the divine reign
we establish our own Kingdom
in the depths of hell
Under the fallen morning star
We rise our banners and swords
Upwards to conquer Earth!
Come to me my fallen brothers
join in desire for sin
rejection of divine mercy
the triumph of free will
Celestial abominations
outcast from the divine reign
we establish our own Kingdom
in the depths of hell
Under the fallen morning star
We rise our banners and swords
Arise!
Upwards to conquer Earth!
Hear the song of the vast choirs
for the prince of the fallen one
reunite in Pandemonium
all around the serpent throne

Primeval
06:27
|
|||
|
At the edge of a pagan land
a primeval forest grows
where ancient oaks cast shadows dark as void
and the moonlight dies in their crowns
Moss embrace stones in its grasp
long forgotten burial mounds
the nocturnal call feeds all primal fears
with the moaning of the owls
Wind howls through the long dead trees
shrouds of cobweb cover dry leaves
smell of soil and decay is so intense
you can almost taste it
Smell of soil and decay is so intense
you can almost taste... the death
Come candid and pure
Lurking like a wolf, vigilant like a crow
Come with a naked blade, make a sacrifice
...let the blood slowly flow
Horned revenant appeared through the mist
breeze of the wind on your face feels like a last kiss
heart pounding like a mad drum, warm blood floods your eyes
as the forest embrace you in the dance of thy demise
In this ancient wilderness
is in vain to plead with God
prayers mean nothing here
forest spirits seek no creed
The eternal cycle of life and death
remains the only law
your blood and flesh will feed the worms
and moss will grow on your bones
Blood and flesh feed the worms
moss will grow on your bones

Art of Genocide
03:35
|
|||
|
Canvas woven
from hair of dead children
Brushes are soaking
in buckets of blood
Corpses twisted
in a gruesome pose
Dreadful landscape
still life of bones
Since the dawn of time...
mankind admires
the art of genocide
Behold the opus magnum...
World holocaust
Mass executions
Rape and torture
Disease, starvation
Slashing, burning
Means of expression
Carefully chosen
To crown the work
of human slaughter
Decaying puppets
are hanging on the gallows
Moved by the wind
a grotesque danse macabre
Wretched voices
sing a sinister song
But there was no audience
denial all along...
Since the dawn of time...
mankind admires
the art of genocide
Behold the opus magnum...
World holocaust

Plague Maiden
07:36
|
|||
|
Boundless emptiness
mournful heart is torn in half
rotting wounds scent of dead
like the graves behind the house
When hundreds die
all the prayers gone within the void
and there is nothing left
only to embrace this fate
She hear the cry of her first born
but there's no lullaby to calm
amid the whispers in her head
endless torment rips her soul
Transfixed by pain and fear
fever slowly consumes her
paralyzed she falls asleep
never to be wake again...
Deception and false beauty
misery defines her being
innocence forever lost
only death and suffering
Did you hear mournful voice in the forest?
did you see a phantasm emerging from the mist?
she'll come and will take your beloved ones
like a pest ravaging the land
Beware of the Plague Maiden's lair
run away... if you can
driven by grief and hate
she'll lay waste to all
who dare to disturb
her eternal slumber

NieMa

Całe życie korzysz się
składasz dłonie i o odpuszczenie prosisz wciąż
Faryzeusz wmawia żeś
jest zbyt mały i niegodny by dostąpić go
A co jeśli powiem Ci,
że religia trawi umysł niczym trąd
Powstań z kolan, podnieś głowę i zastanów się
a fałszywy pasterz szybko zniknie stąd
Nie ma zbawienia
choćbyś błagał naraz wszystkie bóstwa
Na twe smutne modły nie odpowie nikt
bo po drugiej stronie pustka
Nie ma znaczenia
ile razy będzie bił się w pierś
Podły człowiek zawsze pozostanie nim
nie odkupi swoich win...
Myśli że jest lepszy
bo po jego stronie stoi niby bóg
On wybacza pychę i uczynki złe
byle w czas doczesny wiernie służył mu
A co jeśli powiem Ci,
wybaczenia nie ma choćby 100 lat żył
Twarze wszystkich, których skrzywdził ujrzy jeszcze raz
zanim jego truchło obróci się w pył
Nie ma...
nie ma...
nie ma...
Choćbyś błagał wszystkie bóstwa
Bezkresna pustka
Nie ma zbawienia
Bez przebaczenia!

All Fears Within
05:03
|
|||
|
You close your eyes
and seek a refuge
from the chaos of thoughts
for the night is long and full of terror
on the sea of suffering
you look for a lonely island
where a remnant of hope could silence
all the fears within you
for the time has come
of madness and disdain
ubiquitous anger
and bitterness
where life has no value
and soul has been sold
torment is a penance
and death is the reward
on the sea of suffering
you look for a lonely island
where a remnant of hope could silence
all the fears within you
you close your eyes
and crave for a bit of sleep
but fire burst into your consciousness
can't forget about the pain
for the time has come
of madness and disdain
ubiquitous anger
and bitterness
where life has no value
and soul has been sold
penance is torment
and death is the reward
...all the fears within you!

Mallevs Maleficarvm
05:06
|
|||
|
Heresy is spreading like pest
Defiance to the divine providence
Witchcraft and blasphemy
A mockery of faith and reverence
Fight the fiendish plot
With the blessed flames
Shall not allow a witch to live
Baptism by fire will redeem
Malleus Maleficarum
Keepers of faith
Stakes will burn
Enlight our way
We have right means
To get a true confession
We will not hesitate
Torture will force
Any disloyal bitch
To shout her sins
Stakes will burn!
...let them burn

Shallow Grave
05:54
|
|||
|
Many days have passed since I last saw the sun
and I don't know if I'll ever see it again
the last candle glows fainter and fainter
and I can barely see the shape of your still face
Smoke from burnt juniper fills my lungs
(and) I could swear I saw the silhouettes of our children
taken by the figures of black crows
as they painted a white cross on our doors
and I can't tell if this is a dream or reality
so hold my hand and lay here with me
imagine the moon glows so bright
as if it was our last night
and I can't tell if this is a dream or reality
so hold my hand and lay with me
I will love you till end of time
in shallow grave we'll entwine...
I saw empty streets
full of grim shadows
an ominous bell
rang through the dead silence
we all layed there with white-pale faces
staring at the night sky with our dead eyes
and I can't tell if this is a dream or reality
so hold my hand and die with me...
