01. Lucifer's Hammer

Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
Howling in mist beyond awake
Cast out the bliss over my grave
Fountain of youth you'll never taste
Wolf claw a bitch criminal grace

Higher in order to claim our prize
Under the ether we lived fought and died
Lightning below the ground patterns of all trinities
You'll remember your God's true name

Lucifer's Hammer lights up the dark
Covering the blackness there with white
Lucifer's Hammer lights up the dark
Coloring the blackness where we lie

Discordant myths you call your own
Commanding a view of Heaven's new throne
Prowling the dark plagues of desire
Prey on the weak wound driven choir

Flowers of evil your bread cross and wine
Plunder the ether to bring forth divine
Lightning above the ground talons of cold misery
You'll remember your God's true name

Lucifer's Hammer lights up the dark
Covering the blackness there with white
Lucifer's Hammer lights up the dark
Coloring the blackness where we lie

Amen
Demonize
Green words
Tranquilize
Gravity
Or perfumed skies

Wondering who mates above
Hollow eyes condemned by love
It's no surprise when I appear
Bill in hand profane austere

Lightning above the ground saddest of all trinities
You'll remember your God's true name

Lucifer's Hammer lights up the dark
Covering the blackness there with white
Lucifer's Hammer lights up the dark
Coloring the blackness where we lie

02. Queen Of The Dead

Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
Marching out Her servants prepare the way
An altar of blood a Symphony of Evil plays
The Earth will shake
The mountains bend and break
The air turns black when the
Queen of the dead walks by

No sound, kneel down and welcome
Queen of the dead
Queen of the dead
Queen of the dead
Queen of the dead

A Black array a procession of rotting flesh
A reek, a stench, but at least the flowers are fresh
The crypts and tombs glow with unearthly light
A royal hell when the
Queen of the dead walks by

No sound, kneel down and welcome
Queen of the dead
Queen of the dead
Queen of the dead
Queen of the dead

Marching out Her servants prepare the way
An altar of blood a Symphony of Evil plays
The Earth will shake
The mountains bend and break
The air turns black when the
Queen of the dead walks by

No sound, kneel down and welcome
Queen of the dead
Queen of the dead
Queen of the dead
Queen of the dead

03. To Darkness Eternal

Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
To darkness eternal offer yours Sons
Blood fire demon beholden to none
Grace with the knife let my will be done
Then I'll believe that you're my chosen one
From the rising black suns to the houses of death
You'll know in the silence what fate has not blessed

04. Black Sun - Black Mass

Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
A flame leaps from the altar
The voices chant together
A hooded figure screams
His love for Satan's Daughter
Blasphemous words maniacal thirds
A concerto composed in hell
An overturned cross a virgin is forced
An unholy revelry

Black Mass - Satan's Free - Oh
Black Mass - Satan's Free - Oh

With prayer they try to conjure
The presence of their master
Their eyes and bodies writhe
The demon drums beat faster
The high priest will rise and thrust in the thighs
Of the woman upon the altar
Consecrating the host
in her bodies most intimate orifices

Black Mass - Satan's Free - Oh
Black Mass - Satan's Free - Oh

Nocturana - Voluptua - Lascivia
Cold Morgana, Blasphema
Lucifer's Rising, Lucifer's Rising
Life is reviving, under the Black Sun
In nomine Satanus La gallina e cacare
Malleus mallificariim e crimini magi e udiquiem
aguaia malleficia
Discutium
Rise, rise

Black Mass - Satan's Free - Oh
Black Mass - Satan's Free - Oh
Black Mass - Satan's Free - Oh
Black Mass - Satan's Free - Oh
Black Mass - Satan's Free - Oh
Satan's Free - Oh

A sacrifice, Satan's free
A sacrifice, Satan's free
A sacrifice
Black Mass

Lucifer's Rising, come Nocturana my love
In the dusk we'll play forever free

05. Persephone

Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
Danger comes from below
Cloven darkness glares

Fallen, fallen like a mountain to the sea spread
Open, writhing, bound in darkness underworld
No, seasons just a dying enclosure
Over, colder every moment torn and raped here
Mourning, summons crying for the new Medusa
Treason seals the torment inside her

Demeter:
I will not bow to the sunrise
I will not bow to the sea
I will not bow to the moonset
Let it first bow down to me

Hades:
I will not welcome the dead ones
I will not answer their plea
I will deny every Omen
'Til you bring me Persephone

Driving, blinding like a diamond storm against snow
Warring with the truth of our fallout
Cold king of charred light
Killing to the distant horizons

Demeter:
I will not bow to the sunrise
I will not bow to the sea
I will not bow to the moonset
Let it first bow down to me

Hades:
I will not welcome the dead ones
I will not answer their plea
I will defy every moment
'Til you bring me Persephone
Persephone
Rise

Black horse rise
From the shattered underworld
Hades wakes, narcissus petals scatter
Thunder cracks the earth
Blacker than hell's dominion
Brother Gods rape, betray

She holds the secrets of life in death
A rose charred by lightning
Wind torn shadows mourn
Cloven darkness glares
Nothing will grow here

Hades: "Is sadness here a finite thing?"

She screams... "Mother... Mother... Mother"...
Nothing will grow here...

Demeter:
I will not bow to the sunrise
I will not bow to the sea
I will not bow to the moons death
Let it first bow down to me

Hades:
I will not welcome the dead ones
I will not thunder their plea
I will destroy every moment
'Til you bring me Persephone
Persephone

There'll be no sunlight, there'll be no spring
No summer, erased, eternal winter
Is sadness here a finite thing?
Is sadness here a finite thing?

06. Devilhead

Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
The eyes of the Sun rise Eternal blue flame
I wait like the Wind conjuring dark
The seeds of her illness unholy rage
The Gift of a God can't be returned
The stillborn of Hell arise

Devilhead - worship the Sun?

Prophesy reeling slain for a charm
Oceans accursed, water is blood
I will endure to die
The eyes of the Sun rise molten blue pain
I lie in the Wind summoning dark
To pay for an hour of death

Devilhead - worship the Sun?
Devilhead - worship the Sun?
I won't worship the sun
Cursed, forced, howl, right!

White bleeds forth from the valley, distorting night's array
Solar King glance forced bride
I am the scar, stitched through your soul
A searching kiss Lunar betrayal

Devilhead - worship the Sun?
Devilhead - worship the Sun?
I won't worship the sun
I spit in your mouth
Fuck the sun

07. Demolition Queen

Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
Tangled hair
Raven rise at Midnight Eyes are black as coal
When I see her body move
You know I'm gonna lose control
Dark Pagan Magick hardline Voodoo Queen
When I see her shake her hips
The Gods they know what I mean

Win the heat of the Night in the gloom of the day
In the heat of the Night
I know what you do with your love
Lost without love, deep love

She doesn't need redemption or supernatural grace
When I feel her sweat on me my sorrows all erase
Wild Passion - Flower a Rose so Black & Blue
Dark Rebel Angel come to crucify renew

She never makes up her mind she knows what to do
She never makes up her mind
She knows what to do with her Love
Dark, dark love ,thief love, die by love!

You're my Demolition Queen
You're the Blood & Thunder Everything
She's my Demolition Queen
Gonna take her like you've never seen
Like a Heathen King

Princess of ether blaze deep underground
Never let your fire cool retain your primal crown
Climb Venus Mountain beyond this vale of tears
Glorify the Gateless Gate the farther & the near

Win the heat of the Night
In the gloom of the day
Oh in the heat of the Night
I know what to do with your love
Dark, dark love, Demon love

You're my Demolition Queen
Blood & Fire everything
She's my Demolition Queen
Like a Raven Fire - Halloween

Damned Ophelia, love is more death than life
Take the Magick of your Soul
Where the Night wakes
On and on we fly
Through the Fields of Madness where the sun dies
Black desire fill our open eyes now

Pour on all the colder tears,Dark Wind
Fill the madder lake
After the fire graves await
After the fire graves await
One Savage Dream arose
Bearing more than mortal life
Find her kneeling there

Raven rise at Midnight eyes are blacker souls
When I see your body move
You know I'm gonna lose control
Dark Pain & Magick hardline Voodoo Queen
And when I see her shake her hips
I know you know what I mean

In the heat of the Night in the gloom of the day
In the heat of the night I know what to do with your love
Slaughterhouse Love, deep love

You're my Demolition Queen
Holy Blood & Fire everything
You're my Demolition Queen
Like a Raven-Fire Serpent Teen
You're my Demolition Queen
Blood & Fire everything
You're my Demolition Queen
Noble Fire Savage Dream
Angel Warrior - on the killing floor
In a Cross of Fire
She is more blest deep inside, Mystic Union

08. The Plague And The Fire

Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
Sinister Goddess I love you best
Opium Child, Angel Of Death
In primitive passion you fall to your knees
A slave to desire, damn yourself for me

Typhoon ascends bringing Hell's Reign
Love is a Myth innocence craves

The Plague and the Fire
The Plague and the Fire
From the Plague and the Fire
From the Plague and the Fire
These gifts are mine

A Devil descending, a Dream for the Eyes
Funeral Tears fall, Prophets of Crime
Heaven is stolen, an eye for a thigh
Shackled in splendor, disease in disguise

Valkyries of ice in the mirror of Flame
Christ is a Pagan condemned just the same

The Plague and the Fire
The Plague and the Fire
From the Plague and the Fire
From the Plague and the Fire
These gifts are mine

Night breeds Ghostly Passion Beings
And the Skies are awake!
And the Skies are awake!
Shadow Spirits beg forgiveness
After the Plague & the Fire burns us
Still we know?
Evil is born in the Night
Reason is torn in the Night

The coming of Darkness, a killer for hire
An engine is burning a Black Mass of desire
No Earthly praying will return you to me
In Acheron waiting, I will rape thee

The Plague and the Fire
From the Plague and the Fire
Through the Plague and the Fire
From the Plague and the Fire
These gifts are mine

Evil is born in the Night
Reason is torn in the Night
She waits for the Night - like a newborn Angel
She waits for the Night - setting Suns forever
She waits for the Night - burning dreams
She waits for the Night - quoting Gods & Devils
She waits for the Night - drinking Souls and Seasons
She waits for the Night - drowning worlds

09. We Disappear

Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
I'm the terror of Darkness the Blind Eye of Night
The science of graveyard fears the abscess of Light
The Violence of holy water and the birth of a Star
The smile when the sadist learns
The meaning of scars

Angel on the left side
Demon on the right
Highway going nowhere
Burnin' on my bed in the sun, in the sun

I am the Savage God the Four Winds fear
The Mask of the Ages the far and the near
The Hunter of Moonless years the Truth and the Lie
The knot of regret that forms the air where you die

If God is on the left side
Blame it on the right
Hell is freezing over
Everyone is dead in the Sun, in the Sun
Where's the sun?

Spires of Madness, they rape our lives
Remember the dust where we died
Revenge is our passion, the Earth softly cries
She trembles when Empires collide
Forever we'll Avenge
Forever we'll hear your death

After the long night
We disappear
After the Sun's death
We disappear
Into the long night we ride, Into the Black
We disappear
We disappear
We disappear
We disa...
We disappear

Fire and Madness they rape our lives
Remember your time in this Land
Consigned to the red flame they don't understand
They fall to the ground as they plead
Forever we'll Avenge!

After the long fight
We disappear
After the Sun's death
We disappear
Into the jet fuel
We disappear
Into the Black

What does this day bring, what's left to describe?
The promise that went unfulfilled
All are imprisoned alone with their sin
The Tree falls and now it is Night

After the long fight
We disappear
Into the ether
We disappear
Into the jet fuel
We disappear
Into the long Night we ride
Into the Black

10. A Damned Apparition

Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
A Damned Apparition, her mission is to maim
My faithful devotion, her spiteful disdain
Earth opens beneath me, spreading darkness raw
The Crown of Achievement, the descending claw
From deep within
Out of Black Hearts proceed evil thoughts
Sent forth through an evil eye
If thine eye be evil
Thy whole body shall be full of corruption
And darkness, pluck it out, pluck it out!

11. Glamour

Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
Nevermore
Hell walks with flair
She screams that it's urgent, all smack and cocaine
She smiles like a secret and asks me to tame
Her wayward divisions, a beast with no name
Demanding I enter the Halls of the Slain
Nevermore will I sleep, nevermore awaken

Counterfeit memories, my lover of games
Seducing the Spirits of fools with her flame
I wandered in madness, years killed in vain
Until I remembered the wisdom of pain
Fascination, evil eye, malocchio
Vampire law

Glamour - Whore? down come the flies
Glamour - cold withered leaves
Glamour - A Season in Hell
Glamour - Whore-brides wear your veils

Feast on my heart bewitch frozen fire
Welts rising, we trace the History of Us
Wrought iron destruction
Temptation, her cryptic refrain
Delirious Summer lost under the grain
Dead drunk in the morning, high on Wolfsbane?
Barbarian slain

Vampire Law
Maleficia!

More - drawn by the blood
Glamour - Whore...down come the flies
Glamour - A Season in Hell
Glamour - remorse after death?

Birth's a stillborn equation, Life's an un-shed tear
Death walks in stealthy invasion
Lashing her timeless shears
Smoke rings and ashes, the hours betrayed
With Love and with Hatred my Music is made
Fascination - evil eye
Nevermore will I sleep, nevermore awaken

12. Delirium

Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
A Garden of Sin a Shining Black Twin
Callous and bruised we remain
A box of cold cheer a Cauldron of Fear
Sever the roots of Her Name
The Soul of the Damned the flesh you demand
Gather the dead refrains
A murderer's wine, a well-versed decline
A union of morbid flame

Passing the days, pissing on graves
Hell bottom bruise displays
Mocking her God she secretly throbs
With pleasure a wound away
Pregnant and fair with cum in her hair

Ghost Flies a Holy mess
The Pattern shifts and then
Don't fight your loneliness
Her channel grips and then

Naked and wet with soul stripping sweat
She rivals the Gloom Parade
Drunk and Divine I enter her shrine
Virginal routes charade
Flowers are dead the poison has spread
Nature consumes her share
A Gala gone grim a life changing quim
The cupboard is ever bare

Basting her breasts with licorice sweat
The bloom of her youth persuades
Circle despair we're going nowhere
Sensual grooves degrade
With slippery cries her body divides

Ghost Nights un-holiness
The Pattern shifts and then
Don't fight your loneliness
The camera spits and then
Blame it on the Sunrise
Blame it on the Moon's cries
Blame it on the Stars - Delirium
Blame it on the God's lies
Blame it on the Moon's spies
Blame it on the Sun - Delirium

Go forth and breathe mournful air
Drown in her cold emerald stare
Phantom desires, no one is there!

Passing the days pissing on graves
With Wine parted lips she sprays
She'll be my Nymphet, my Lolita wet
And I'll be her Baphomet
With victory cries the moment arrives

Ghost White Her Holiness
Her Chalice grips and then
Don't fight your loneliness
Her talent tricks and then
Ghost flies a Holy mess!
The hammer hits and then
Don't fight your loneliness
The Manna drips and then

Blame it on the Sunrise!
Delirium!
Blame it on the Sunrise
Blame it on the Moon's cries
Blame it on the Gods - Delirium
No one's there
No one's there, no one's there - Delirium!
Hated by the God's Wives
Hated by the noon flies
Hated by the Sun Delirium!

She said, 'It's your kind of sky today'

13. Hymns To Damnation

Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
Child Heart with Bestial Eyes
Like tears in spider webs a perfect disguise
Down came rain like seas of blood
Lost in Salem's Wood entombed in your eyes

Swift as the Raven's flight
To lie here in my arms

Justice Night on Perfect Mist
In every Ring Of Cruel murder remains
Here we live like Thieves Of Blood
The beauty we conceived is never humane

Swift as a Vein Of White
To lie here in my arms

Hymns to Damnation
Hymns to deceive
Life there's no salvation
Reign here with me!

There's no God

Hymns to Damnation
Hymns to deceive
Life there's no salvation
Reign here with me...Reign!

Dusk appears fallen like a thrown Cross
Wolves, Magick, hungers true like our Rituals
There is no God, maimed here with me
Long Shadows spill
On Gallows Hill, they swing in the cold breeze
Many have died, many too returned
To the distant House of Death
Awful, the Stars

Hymns to Damnation
Hymns to deceive
Life there's no salvation
Reign here with me
Hymns to Damnation
Hymns to disease
Lies there's no salvation
Reign here with me
Reign here with me

Bloodstained bride that darkness hides
Like terrors of the sea shipwrecked in your eyes

14. Fallen Angels

Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
Light another candle child, let me know you're here
Tortured cries in the dark, praise the Devil
Our Secret Writings are a Door
Get Closer, I'm gonna rip through
There's nothing left but grief, end law
Stare the Night awake
Why suffer Fates yet to receive?
No one wins alive

I am one ripe with sun flies
I am one with the willfull crowd
I'm the One with the scarred wings
I'm the One with the silver shroud

Hold another mirror to your mouth, are you alive?
From where I sit they're busting out, end days
There's nothing left when Seas cry your Name
Entombed the air snakes
Prayer is like a loan
Fools weild them your eyes roll back
And Love's doom weeps like a scar burst

I await for the Wind to follow
I await for deceit and laugh
I am one with the Reapers
I'm the One with the sin
Colored moth winged shroud

Woe, God it seems so long
Still it seems so free unloved
Like a blood embrace
Now who sleeps?
Fall I shine!

One by one
Nations march out
One by one

Hallowed at last
I will drive the Wind through the Pines
I just want to be a moving Shout
Nothing comes between Oblivion, follow?
She feels free? beyond pain
And Winter comes to greet me? I'm closer now?
