01. Vitriol Lament

Music & lyrics by Baest
I saw a vision carved in hate
Thousand sinners waiting for their fate
A demon flicking with his tail
Whipping the sinners till they wailed

Abandon all hope
Abaddon your false gods
I shall drag you down
To the unblessed whence no man will return

So I looked
Into the Abyss

Smoking valley
Engulfing mist

Sombre place
Cries in my ears

Slopes of hell
Reigning in fear

Flocks of the lustful trapped in storms
Swarming contorted for eternity

Souls blown apart
In violet winds
Moaning weeping for their infamy

Thou lust is mine
I shall drink your soul like wine

Thy sin is my desire
Welcome to hell, the way is wide

Swerving lust
Lecherous circle
Tempest-tossed
Souls blown infernal

Swirling sins
Winds of temptation
Endless spins
Gaze upon the vitriol lament

Thousands of shadows
Shouting, moaning, cry
Cast into the winds of war
Hellish storms

Corrupted by their own lust
Carnal sinners
Condemned to these torments
Into forever

Blasting into the infernal
Cataclysmic fire
Blaspheme against divine power
For eternity
For eternity
For eternity

02. Gula

Music & lyrics by Baest
Desolate
Relics
Of a fallen realm

Distant
Baying
Resonates through the void

Growling, barking
Lingering at the riverside

Snarling, guardian
Lurking at the gates of hades

Leading, guiding
Souls into the depths within

Drooling, looming
Three-head beast and serpent tail

Dwelling madness
Fear the ferocious hound of hell
You will not escape
Cerberus is your name

With fury held in his eyes
Swallow the corpses that's ripped by the skies
Rain, shrapnel, wrath of thy god
Gluttonous men must consume what they are

Like swine in the river of mud

Reduced to slime
Battered by the rain
You will cry my name
Cry my name

Stinking slush
Falling from the sky

Naked shades
Howl and roll in the mire

Squealing, reeking
Pigs shall reign
Kingdoms disdained

Howling, rolling
Carcasses free from flesh
Ignorance reeks of piss

Sweltering riches
Feast your eyes and glut your souls

Blessed in sickness
Lord of flies ascend in might

Wanting, eating
Feast from the living my god unforgiving

Man shall hail you as king
Gluttony is your name

03. Nihil

Music & lyrics by Baest
Lashed to the wretched sinner
The left hand path is lit

Beware for the worst is upon us
The treacherous waters of madness
Where the wretched sinners lie buried
Here night is day and the day is darkness

Trenches aligned
Souls who defied
Golems beside
Prophets being sliced

Beneath the giants feet
I see a realm
Where treason flows
Deep in hell

Treacherous rivers
Streaming in violence
Trembling shivers
Freezing silence

Below the well of evil
Under the speechless titan

Brace yourselves for the worst is upon us
The damned currents of hell
Let the hate of Cain rush through my veins
And spill the blood of Abel

In the mirror blank I saw
A thousand faces maybe more
As above so below

In treacherous rivers we shall float
As drowning shapes behind the veil
The vicious currents we must obey

Sowers of discord
Traitors of thy kindred
Drown in the rivers
Forever and ever

Devouring waters
Runnign in circles
Waves unforgiving
Roaring sermons

From the rivers o trason
Eternal sin shall flood

Behold for the worst is upon uis
The treacherous rivers of nihil
Look to the skies and let the tears gush wide
We'll float in these rivers for eternity

Oh woe to you corrupted souls
By heaven now abandon hope
I'll take you to the other side
To darkness, to the endless night

04. Venenum

Music & lyrics by Baest
We shall drown, in the night - pacified
Fixed in slime, unified - anger rise

Flesh and blood, left to rot - into naught
Homo sum, illuminum - venenum

Your words are poison
Inhuman

The sea is wrathful
Venenum

Mounting madness
Fixed in slime

Blinded masses
Feeble mind

Blue-grey water
Woeful beneath, in the marsh
Muddy shadows
Biting with their teeth

We are the sullen
Cursed by the sun
With smoke in our hearts
Buried in the mire

Muddy people in the fen
Naked
All with the look of bleeding anger
Bleeding - Anger

Your words are poison
Inhuman
Pestilence in this valley of vomit

The sea is wrathful
Waves of slime, cover divine
Venenum
Altar of grime leaves no one behind

Mounting madness
Effigy of your world is inferno
Fixed in slime
Mastery of the abyss is torn

Blinded masses
Tower of anger looming ahead
Feeble mind

Cursed spirits in the swamp
Weeping
You are the venom of this life

Viva
Venenum
Viva
Venenum

05. Styx

Music by Baest
[Instrumental]

06. Heresy

Music & lyrics by Baest
Infernal citadel
Illuminated reddened in this depth of hell

Monolith rise
A monument arrayed in its gloomy might

Desolate halls
A vacant realm beyond these faithless walls

Doleful sighs
Enters my skin and heart
Horrifies

Envy the creation
Vanity rise
Eternal immolation
Heretic demise

Heresy
Heresy
Heresy
The towers of heresy shall impale the sky

Sarcofagus
Immolate

Ablaze
In their graves they'll forever burn
Tombs set ablaze
For their sins are deliberate

Eternal suffering
In graves in flames we lie
For our infamy

Crimson tongues
Licking our carnal skin
In its myriad throngs

Ravenous pyre
In hatred immolated
For our burning desires

Infernal regression
Spirits ablaze
Burning possession
Won't you burn with me?

Flaming incantations
Blasphemy
Glorification
Human travesty

Heresy (won't you come and burn with me)
Heresy (in the city of disbelief)
Heresy (act of ungodly treachery)
Towers of heresy shall impale the sky

Liars shall beg
Liars shall cry
Oh towers of heresy
Impale the sky

Ashes of their screams
Blowing in my dreams
Oh towers of heresy
Impale the sky

Furies
Daughters of blood and remorse
Ablaze
For their sins are deliberate

Luminous Master
Purveyor of darkness and great disaster

Devouring flame
Awaken the forsaken of the unholy name

Entombed we lie
Our souls shall burn in pride for eternity
For eternity

07. As Above So Below

Music & lyrics by Baest
I am the face of reason
The embodiment of treason
A divine perversity
A malignant trinity

I spread my serpent wings of simony and decay
My name is Legion for we are many

Evil ditches arise
Abysmal chasms
Thousand of lies
Emerge from their vaults

Pure wretched fraud
Reeks from within their mouths

Swallowing the hordes of deceivers
Everything remain

As above so below
Upon hate and despair that we shall bestow
As above so below
Hell shall glow

As above so below
From the grain of the fear that we have be-sown
As above so below
Hell shall glow

Falling from grace
Into the depths
Of perdition
We fall

As I gaze upon the realm of deceit
In no awe, with no hope
New torments and pain I see

Horned demons come with fire and with swords
Bringing mutilating plague-ridden
Symphonies of discord

In the moats of treachery we drown in misery
For this human tragedy is a great hypocrisy

In vicious circles fraudulent we lie
Walls of stone and iron
Remain

As above so below
Descended
As above so below
Descended
As above so below
Descended
As above so below
Descended
As above so below
Descended
As above so below
Descended

08. Sodomize

Music & lyrics by Baest
Sodomize
The burning sands between my feet

Sodomize
Cannot retain my compulsive need

Sodomize
With my desire to defile

Sodomize
I'll penetrate and sodomize

My lust is impure
Vile against god and nature
From the sky a raining fire
Shall punish me for my desire

Sodomize
The burning sands between my feet

Sodomize
Cannot retain my compulsive need

Sodomize
With my desire to defile

Sodomize
I'll penetrate and sodomize

A perverse attraction
My deviant satisfaction
A tantalizing fantasy
Shall lead me into blasphemy

I call upon the damned tribes of sin
Obligated by the Abrahamic lies

I see the world through Sodom eyes
The impaler, fornicator undivine

I can see it in your eyes
Let me feed your appetite

Let me
Let me
In

Sodomize
The burning sands between my feet

Sodomize
Cannot retain my compulsive need

Sodomize
With my desire to defile

Sodo-fucking-mize
I'll penetrate and sodomize

09. Empty Throne

Music & lyrics by Baest
No king. No crown
No one to rule this sombre kingdom cold

No god to see
All there is left is just an empty throne

Bellum omnium contra omnes
Sede vacante

Deus in absentia, see, no god of emptiness

Bellum omnium contra omnes
Sede vacante

Satan in absentia, there is only nothingness

There is no escape

There is no escape, there is no hope
No heir apparent, Hell is abandoned

In pungent stench, dissolving men
We strive to heal our worthless souls
Through voyage of sin and endless sorrow

No one to save
No one to save or judge the damned souls

No king. No crown
No one to rule this sombre kingdom cold

No god to see
All there is left is just an empty throne

Bellum omnium contra omnes
Sede vacante

Deus in absentia, see, no god of emptiness

Bellum omnium contra omnes
Sede vacante

Satan in absentia, there is only nothingness

Vexilla Regis prodeunt nihil
Vexilla Regis prodeunt nihil
Vexilla Regis prodeunt nihil
Vexilla Regis prodeunt nihil

In all its naught, Hell is here
You are alone, reigning in fear

Dwelling in the realm of emptiness

No one to save
No one to save or judge the damned souls

No sun. No moon
Now all is left is only fear and woe

No king. No crown
No one to rule this sombre kingdom cold

No god to see
All there is left is just an empty throne

10. No Guts, No Glory

Music & lyrics by Barry Thomson / Gavin Ward
All senses
Under attack
Oblivion
Penultimate
Anticipation
Fills your soul
At the limit
Beyond control

The last advance
One final chance
It now shall be... no guts, no glory

Retaliation
Sequencially inclined
No guts, no glory
You decide

The last advance
One final chance
It now shall be... no guts, no glory

Swallow no pride, strength from inside
Still driving on, second to none

The last advance
One final chance
It now shall be... no guts, no glory

The last advance
One final chance
It now shall be... no guts, no glory
