Immortal Rites
|
|
Gathered for a sacred rite Subconscious minds allied Call upon immortals Call upon the oldest ones to intercede Rid us of our human waste Cleanse our earthly lives Make us one with darkness Enlighten us to your ways From churning worlds of mindlessness Come screams unheard before Haunting voices fill the room Their source remaining undefined Shadows cast from faceless beings Lost for centuries Lords of death, I summon you Reside within our brains Cast your spells upon our lives So that we may receive The gift of immortality Bestowed on those who seek you |

Suffocation
|
|
Laugh at the tragedies Mock with disrespect Goats under rule of father time Leaches pass judgement on their fellow kind And die when their inner self goes astray Alas, I pay homage to the ancient ones Speak my name!! Raise the staff of the morbid priest Descend into the fires of the true law Suffocating evil smoke arise Cleansing the masses of iniquity Cauldrons blaze in sanctifying ritual Vile crematory burns my eyes Mortals filled with despair They quest to forsee their fate Caverns below await the wine to flow Rape the harvest of souls I watch in awe as the crucifiers march Killing time, killing all I see Another moon rise, human waste Screaming 'Why hath thou forsaken me?' Suffocating evil smoke arise Cleansing the masses of iniquity Cauldrons blaze in sanctifying ritual Vile crematory burns my eyes It's the dawn of the crucifiers Suffocation Suffocating evil smoke arise Cleansing the masses of iniquity Cauldrons blaze in sanctifying ritual Vile crematory burns my eyes |

Visions from the Dark Side
|
|
Dark eyes, shadows grim They come for me Midnight chimes, blackened earth The evils rise Pits of hate open wide Chasm of my dreams Last of chimes - minks arrive And take my mind again Waste polluted memories Acid rivers flow Vigil for this land's decay Sounding from below Dogs of war, satan's own Plotting all their sins Weapons aimed at liberty My vision - no one wins Take my mind All the way The darkside calls I shan't resist Men forever rot in pain Mind machines control Toxic rains scouring brains Victimizing souls Winds of war suffocate Voodoo in the sky Breathe the gases, breathe no more My vision - all will die Take my mind All the way The darkside calls I shan't resist Cut myself and release the blood Pains of a thousand years Pathic sights - jorney's end Descent into another world My time has come to meet me Masters... all the corporate lourds I'm not afraid to face all their Trials - slavery - in the end they'll Still have no power over me Daylight shines blind my eyes Waken to another day Tribulation now has passed But the dreams remain Walls of sleep fade away Abandonment of wonders Monks of knowledge bid farewell And leave me with these visions From the darkside |

Maze of Torment
|
|
Life betrayal - a warping rage Evil ripping caverns through your mind Immolation - in blood you've signed your soul away Sickening life ends but the horror has just begun Vultures moaning a funeral dirge Walls await to cradle you and rip your soul apart Incessant screams echoes through the maze Insanity approaches - imminent demise Maze of torment... (Maze of death) Stricken from the holy book - deliverance to pain Effigy of jesus christ burning in your mind Voices cry out to bid you welcome Locked within the dungeons of darkness - no escape!! Passing through corridors embedded with Scars of those who have gone before you And left their marks Warning comes too late to save you now Visions of suffering stab from the inside You pray for death Mourning does no good as you can only die once Souls are being raped by the maze Lost in these halls... endlessly Maze of torment... (Maze of death) |

Lord of All Fever & Plague

Ninnghizhidda - open my eyes Ninnghizhidda - hear my cries Plumed serpent of the deep Plumed serpent of the gate I command - come before me I command - bring the key Rise from the depths See the fire in my wand Ia iak sakkakh iak sakkakth Ia shaxul I call forth the god pazuzu I call forth the lord of plague I am of the lost Creatures of spawn of hate Rejoice in the heaving earth Praise the ripping sky Rise spread disease Consume their puny souls Ia iak sakkakh iak sakkakth Ia shaxul Ia kingu ia cthulu ia azbul Ia azabua Ride the wings of death... (Ride the wings of...) Ninnghizhidda - open my eyes Ninnghizhidda - hear my cries Plumed serpent of the deep Plumed serpent of the gate I command - come before me I command - bring the key Rise from the depths See the fire in my wand Ia iak sakkakh iak sakkakth Ia shaxul Ia kingu ia cthulu ia azbul Ia azabua |

Chapel of Ghouls
|
|
Ghouls attack the church Crush the holy priest Turning the cross towards hell Writhe in satan's flames Crush the priest The feeble church Dead - your god is dead Fools - your god is dead Useless prayers of lies Behold satan's rise Crush the priest The feeble church The family of dog Lust upon my altar Demons attack with hate Satan in the fires of hell awaits Death against you all God hear my death call [Chorus] |

Bleed for the Devil
|
|
Come to me, lord of filth Hear my cries princes of nightmares Touch us with your morbid lips Let us taste your foulness Bleed for the devil Impious mortal lives Feel the enticing power Fill the chasm of your soul Fill the air with the smell of death Grace us with your magic Fill the night with the stench of evil I summon forth the beast Bleed for the devil Impious mortal lives Feel the enticing power Fill the chasm of your soul Cold look in his eyes He holds the gleaming knife Girl cries as he cuts way the Strips of flesh Bleed for the devil Impious mortal lives Feel the enticing power Fill the chasm of your soul |

Damnation
|
|
Evil Minds grievous sins Pagan lives have no place for law Twisted worship exhume the dead Minds unite for evil cause Death corrodes the book once strong Evil lourd destroys his foes Plague has spread throughout the land Revelations have begun Call of evil's mastermind Christians flock to the beast Burning crosses burn souls Exterminate the altar of laws Atrocities of a new reich Holy war and holocaust God weeps and turns his back The time is right to destroy the world Damnation Fill the world with plague Force of devastation Tyranny from above Churning of cities lust so profane Driving the will to destroy Crippling powers I'm forced to partake unholy rituals Crimes of a world barely alive Melting debauchery Ashes to ashes, so must I be Lost in this misery There's nothing left here for me I know of no other way Even death cannot change my ways I'm first in the line To hell we shall go Call of evil's mastermind Christians flock to the beast Burning crosses burn souls The time is right to destroy the world Damnation Fill the world with plague Force of devastation Tyranny from above |

Evil Spells
|
|
Caught within my evil spell Now it's time to burn in hell You were fooled on return You're just a doll for him to burn See the reaper in his eyes Messenger - prince of flies Brain washed with sin and death Time to burn - my evil wrath Evil spells... Bring the children down to burn Once you fall - no return Sin takes you by surprise On this backwards hellbound ride Gates of hell drawing near Satan loves the taste of fear Quenching all with black desire Burn your souls in furnace fire Evil spells... Evil spell of the dead Messengers of your death Falling endless in your tomb Locked within infernal doom See the reaper in my eyes Messenger - prince of flies Warlock's voice surrounds your dreams Baking soul within your screams Evil spells... |
