Tracks



01. Beyond Torment

Strapped down to the table of death
Poisons flow into gasping breath
Amputation with a P.H.D. in doom
Pull out your guts
Spread them around the room

Torment ripping through your brain
Seas of blood screaming from the pain
Surgery extraction of your life
Therapy with the edge of a knife
Stripped of skin your body's inside out
Butchery is what they're all about
Broken bone taking on new form
Straight from hell you are reborn

Torment ripping through your brain
Seas of blood screaming from the pain
Surgery extraction of your life
Therapy with the edge of a knife
Stripped of skin your body's inside out
Butchery is what they're all about
Broken bone taking on new form
Straight from hell you are reborn

Brought back to life you live the hell again
Will things work sewed on the wrong end?
Monstrosity for all the world to see
Twisted Flesh for sick technology

Torment ripping through your brain
Seas of blood screaming from the pain
Surgery extraction of your life
Therapy with the edge of a knife
Stripped of skin your body's inside out
Butchery is what they're all about
Broken bone taking on new form
Straight from hell you are reborn

02. Webs Of Doom

Shadowed in the darkened depths lies a twisted form
Forged from the blackest seed a nightmare is born
Bearing webs of evil set to snatch your soul
No escape from deadly wounds Arachnid takes its toll

Venom injecting into your veins, make you fry
Encased in webs of certain doom, hung up high
Turn your bones into liquid form, suck you dry
Arachnid surgeon of demise, you will die

Running down an alleyway nowhere left to hide
Deadly fangs of terror grasp you by your eyes
Blackened blood embedded turns at your insides
Changing form, now reborn, now you are on his side

Venom injecting into your veins, make you fry
Encased in webs of certain doom, hung up high
Turn your bones into liquid form, suck you dry
Arachnid surgeon of demise, you will die

03. Fears

Locked in a box and you can't break free
Suffocate in darkness, dead you'll be
Claustrophobic, gasping for air
Scream your heart out, no one will hear

Fears within your brain
Psychs calls you insane
The things aren't real
The burning you feel
You're scared to death
Scream with all your breath
There is no light, you'll die of fright

Hanging for your life heights, plunge below
One slip of your grasp and down you'll go
Sidewalk waits for you to break your bones
Head first, swan-dive, sudden depths of your soul

Fears within your brain
Psychs calls you insane
The things aren't real
The burning you feel
You're scared to death
Scream with all your breath
There is no light, you'll die of fright

Chronic illness rots you from inside
Cancer of the brain turns Jekyll into Hyde
Heart attack surge feeds your fear to die
In your grave maggots eat you where you lie

Fears within your brain
Psychs calls you insane
The things aren't real
The burning you feel
You're scared to death
Scream with all your breath
There is no light, you'll die of fright

04. Intro / Phantom

[Instrumental]

05. Near Darkness

Dark soul carried on throughout time
Jaws of death, born to the undead kind
Night falls and you're about to lose your mind
Darkness turning everything inside
Changes, screaming for the smell of death
Twist your guts until there's only evil left
Voices calling to you from beyond
Killing all, until the break of dawn

Stalking your victims, your prey
Feeding on blood, your way
Humans are cattle, you slay
Lurking in shadows 'till day

Blood runs coldly from the dying man
Power surge runs through the truly damned
Hatred strong, but the sky has begun to glow
Puff of smoke, back into the depths you go
Men know your ways and special hiding place
Ancestors past have led them to a common space
Lifting lid, vermin desecrate the dark
Death comes, with a stake right through the heart

Stalking your victims, your prey
Feeding on blood, your way
Humans have found your nest
Lying in shadows, you rest...near dark
Near dark now

06. Reaper Within

There is an evil voice that's growing
Deep inside your twisted brain
Telling you the human race is better off shot in the head
You fight to find the inside that still is you
In your hand is a bloody victim, what did you do?

The reaper within, laughter
The killings begin, slaughter
Cries from fading breath, torture
Calling for more death, murder

Innocence is everywhere
Its' blood is waiting to be spilled
Bludgeoned bodies in your path
How many have you killed
Killing spree is just so easy, killing many then move on
The hungry voice behind your eyes
Is always thirsty, never done

The reaper within, laughter
The killings begin, slaughter
Cries from fading breath, torture
Calling for more death, murder

Voices call, twist you to their ways
Bodies fall with a flash of the blade
Trail of death, M.O. comes clear
Tortured mind boiling in hell
Face of death staring back at you
Dismemberment, branded insane
Rage unleashed from a mind deranged
Habitual needs, he's in your brain

07. The Witching

Thrash through the twisted jungle
A darkened magic rules this land
Skulls are mounted on gnarled poles
As you fall into the master hand
Black magic tales come to life
Consume your soul, his master plan
A sickening feeling fills your guts
His power drains you, you barely stand

Voodoo rules here, all things living and dead
Your blood and bones are magic's daily bread
His pins and needles...pins and needles torture the doll
His power consumes you
It consumes you, now you must fall

Venom surges through your head
Your feet burn as if on fire
Snakes crawl across your skin
Incantations of hell's desire
Scabs remain where sores had bled
Your spirit is added to his pyre
Men have told of this deadly place
You had the balls to call them liar

The magic doll is older than time itself
In hidden jungle, some distant land
He bottles your soul put on his shelf
The power he saves, keeps close at hand
All that comes near he will consume
Ultimate power, just as he planned
Warnings are posted, ignored by fools
Becoming puppets at his command

Voodoo rules here, all things living and dead
Your blood and bones are magic's daily bread
His pins and needles...pins and needles torture the doll
His power consumes you
It consumes you, now you must fall

08. Water Burial

Days ago sea and sky seemed so tame
Now the ship is tossed as sirens scream their names
Sailing on through a storm belched from hell
Demon clouds dance as waves crash over the rail
Sails are torn, rain thrashes the men
Darkness lurks, never see light again
Wicked winds whip ice into their veins
Washed overboard, only their bones remain

Davie Jones laughs, his heart beats below
Torrent grows louder, the storm begins to grow
Men are few but still the storm rages on
Waves surge higher, all prayers are gone
Serpents circle round, eyes glowing red
Long lost souls, chanting from the dead
Rocks ahead, sure death is known
The hull is smashed and all the wreckage is thrown
Water burial!
