Tracks



01. Serpents Unleashed

Music & lyrics by Skeletonwitch
A thorn within the goddamn crown, Evil that will not sleep
Demonic, Defiant, Eyes of burning chaos
With darkness at our side, Evil at our command
Crush the weak and feeble, Their place within the dust

Rain fire from the shadows
Striking hard and fast
Vomiting the blackest hate
The spawn of wickedness
Wickedness

My soul an empty vessel
One that only blood can fill
A testament to viciousness
Destroy as serpents unleashed
Sew the earth with the dead

A thorn within the goddamn crown, Evil that will not sleep
Demonic, Defiant, Eyes of burning chaos
With darkness at our side, Evil at our command
Crush the weak and feeble, Their place within the dust

02. Beneath Dead Leaves

Music & lyrics by Skeletonwitch
Ravaged, Withered, Defeated
Broken, Weak, Lost, Forgotten

And when the cold wind blows
My time to wither and crumble
I will control my fate
To time I will not suffer

I'll die by my own hand
I will not wait for death a feeble rotting end
I will not bow down to time
I'll be the one to end my life (That's right)

Rot away
My body home beneath dead leaves
Alone into the darkness
Upon this froze ground I bleed
Returned to the earth
The wind, The ice take back my flesh
Fade away
My bones one with the winter cold
The cold
The cold

And when the cold wind blows
My time to wither and crumble
I will control my fate
To time I will not suffer

03. I Am Of Death (Hell Has Arrived)

Music & lyrics by Skeletonwitch
I am the venom, I am the serpent born of flesh
I am of carnage, I am the dark one, Killer of man, I am death

Architect of your destruction
Your soul lost, Hell has arrived
Paralyzed by ultimate horror
As the hope fades from your eyes

You become my sacrifice
I am here to take your life
Silence now your final cries
Know your fear for it is I

Darkness now surrounds you
No light shines from your eyes
Your end now but an earthly hell
Your pain of the divine

Savagely destroy you
I rip through bone and flesh
A monument to misery
Salvation only death
Only death

Your soul led to the fire, Your body to the ground
Rot in the earth

You belong now to the darkness, Your eyes forever closed
Now join the dead
Now join the dead

I am the venom, I am the serpent born of flesh
I am of carnage, I am the dark one, Killer of man, I am death

04. From A Cloudless Sky

Music & lyrics by Skeletonwitch
The sun fades to blackness, the moon to blood
Stars fall from a darkened sky

In the name of torment
In the name of death and pain
Curse the crown, deny your god or die

The evil that once was
Now re-emerge from the abyss
Feel the grip of darkness
Death's hand around your throat
No life is safe from the slaughter

Children now struck dead
Thunder from a cloudless sky
This earth now but a grave
Your body feeds the crows

The pale horse and the rider death
Hand down the final blessing of extinction
Kill them all, leaving none alive
Apocalyptic slaughter of the living

Your cries are met with silence
Call upon your god as you suffer
Oh how blind are the eyes of faith
Destroyed by the will of the demon

The sun fades to blackness, the moon to blood
Stars fall from a darkened sky

05. Burned From Bone

Music & lyrics by Skeletonwitch
I am the demon cloaked within the light of darkness
Wretched one of heart so black
The bitter cold of death surrounding
Fear within your soul

A mind enraged with one desire
See your flesh burned from your bone
Unleash the storm of your destruction
End your life in fire, in flame

Beast from the blackness
Oh darkest hell
Hands moved by the tongue of the serpent

Bringer of vengeance
Blind to forgiveness
Suffer in the fires of repentance
Now burn

From flesh burn to ash
From ash then to dust

Your life now feeds the flame
Choke on the ashes as you die
Your fate but a living cremation
Suffer burned alive

Your flesh now gone to ash
Consumed in the fires of vengeance
Your sins purified in the flame
Your bones reduced to dust
All black

06. Unending, Everliving

Music & lyrics by Skeletonwitch
Save your prayers there is no god here
Cry out as demons walk this earth
Evil ascends from dark dimensions
Open the gates of hell

Drowning in this crushing misery
Drenched in the beauty of pain

Bound within the chains of torment
Suffer now in unspeakable ways
Take your place among the damned
Cursed until the end of time

Your flesh tortured for eternity
Butchering the human carcass

A torturous hell awaits you
One of blood and sacrifice
Forgiveness now escapes you
Your time is due, your flesh the price

Your pain is everliving
As above now so below
Your suffering unending
Everlasting, no mercy shown

Eternal horror, beyond broken you're stripped of skin
Embrace the slaughter
Resurrection now die, die, die again

Bound within the chains of torment
Suffer now in unspeakable ways
Take your place among the damned
Cursed until the end of time

Your flesh tortured for eternity
Butchering the human carcass

07. Blade On The Flesh, Blood On My Hands

Music & lyrics by Skeletonwitch
A mind plagued with madness
Thoughts bathed in bloodlust
In search of the one true darkness
Soul now wreathed in chaos

Horrid blood soaked nightmares
Evil behind dark eyes
These dreams now forged into action
Tear apart the flesh, spill the blood
Die

Blade on the flesh, blood on my hands
Those of the dying become the dead
The breaker of bone
The butcher of life
The shadow of death
Your blood is mine
Your blood is mine

A mind plagued with madness
Thoughts bathed in bloodlust
In search of the one true darkness
Soul now wreathed in chaos

Horrid blood soaked nightmares
Evil behind dark eyes
These dreams now forged into action
Tear apart the flesh, spill the blood
Die

08. This Evil Embrace

Music & lyrics by Skeletonwitch
Engulfed and entangled
Consumed by this evil embrace
Controlled by the powers of darkness
Embodiment of the cold and the grey

Nothing if but not of evil
In league with the demons of hell
For I am the killer of angels
As blasphemy I forever dwell

Stare upon death in these eyes
Wretched, furthest from the light
Moving with poisonous steps
My demon shall harvest your flesh

Born of the fire
Bringer of foul plague and disease

I am the venomous beast
Demon walking with earthly feet
Serpent stronger than your faith
From flesh you now fall into shade
Seeking to devour
Agent of death and destruction

There is no light without darkness
No joy without pain
No good without evil
No righteousness without the insane
No peace without torment
No life without death
There is no God without Satan
There is no Heaven without Hell

09. Unwept

Music & lyrics by Skeletonwitch
Your life condemned to the shadows
Suffer now for your betrayal
Your lies speak of denial
Stand and meet your doom

Forsaken you shall suffer
I long to see you fucking die
The time for words is over
You shall face my wrath

As sure as the sun will rise
Know that you shall fall
You will bleed
I cast you out now feast upon the rocks
Die choked with loss

Die drenched in sorrow
Suffer alone in emptiness
Languish in punishing despair
Victim of my dark redemption
In pain you plead for death

Despised until the end of time
Your cries are worthless
Your tears become my wine

Discarded as human debris
Necrotic useless flesh
Cry out helplessly

As witness to your suffering, I shall stand unwept

10. Born Of The Light That Does Not Shine

Music & lyrics by Skeletonwitch
Oh lord of the night
From under the darkness rise
Spirit foul upon the wind
Carried forth on rotten wings

Demon of flesh
Wicked, breathless, old
Born of the light that does not shine
Not of the dead, yet not alive

Drinker of blood
A leech upon your soul
Infernal filth of God's creation
Cursed eternal damnation

Taker of flesh
Never-ending hunt for blood
From the darkness now unleashed
To feed upon humanity

The one you fear shall feed in the moonlight
Your time of flesh now ends
Demonic deeds your blood is sacrificed
Your time of flesh now ends
Your time of flesh now ends
Die in unholy slaughter

I now demand your blood
Eyes void of light your soul now abandoned
Life is ending, body drained and cold
Drained and cold

11. More Cruel Than Weak

Music & lyrics by Skeletonwitch
There shall come a time when every man must show their worth
A time to stand and fight, dominate this rotting earth
This darkness gives me reason
From this evil I draw strength
To welcome death over failure
To curse the name of defeat

My hands my own salvation, my cause of victory
Triumph only comes to those, to those that possess the will
To confront, annihilate the enemy
Crush, destroy and kill
Vicious determination
A will stronger than death
To remain clawing and scratching
Until I draw my last breath
If I must go down, I will go down fucking hard

My spoils won't be denied
I shall take what I desire
I stand more cruel than weak
Through hatred I survive
Speak not to me of saviors
I reject the word, the false
No allegiance to the myth
For I am my own god

Triumph only comes to those, to those that possess the will
To confront, annihilate the enemy
Crush, destroy and kill
This darkness gives me reason
From this evil I draw strength
To welcome death over failure
To curse the name of defeat
The witch is my salvation
Through evil victory
