01. The Devil's Symphony

Hook me up with all that is unholy
Bring forth the pentagram, magic, and Crowley
Inverted crosses and rituals of the flesh
Taste otherworld, inhale the incense

What is forbidden shall be my path
Shall not forgive, but give in to wrath
Bite the hand, hate with delight
Shroud me with darkness, my cloth is the night

Dance to the tune of the Devil
Let him find your way
Find your way

Follow the signs, taught by LaVey
See a smile as I awake your dismay
Darkness shall fill me, fill me with light
No need for guidance, I have the sight

Dance to the tune of the Devil
Let him find your way
Find your way

Let him in to your heart
Let him in to your heart
Let him in to your heart
Let him in to your heart

How can you reject me
How can you ignore
I want you to see me
The devil’s symphony

Let him in to your heart

How can you reject me
How can you ignore
I want you to see me
The devil’s symphony

For you must see, your own way to carve
It is a sin, I shall not starve
Will not accept, obey your litany
Ave Satani – no Christianity

Dance to the tune of the Devil
Let him find your way
Dance to the tune of the Devil
Let him find your way
Find your way

02. In Thrash We Trust

I got this feeling
Need to unwind
Stacked up on problems
Pain in my mind
Life leaves me mad
Need to get out
All doors are closed
I scream, yell and shout

I know a place
Somewhere you’ll find
Where fury lives
Peace at the same time

In thrash we trust – a belief that is just
In thrash we trust – you can, you will, you must
In thrash we trust – a belief that is just
In thrash we trust – you can, you will, you must

Devil in detail
Fiend in the mist
Drive me straight crazy
Me off your list
You cannot see me
Kick it out of you
Breaking the chains
Tell me what to do

In thrash we trust – a belief that is just
In thrash we trust – you can, you will, you must
In thrash we trust – a belief that is just
In thrash we trust – you can, you will, you must

Forged in iron
Forged in blood
In blood

This is my law
Rules sets me free
Beauty in grit
In the dark to see
No higher law
Or punishment
A hand for you
Now replenishment

In thrash we trust – a belief that is just
In thrash we trust – you can, you will, you must
In thrash we trust – a belief that is just
In thrash we trust – you can, you will, you must

03. Turn Up The Rage

The puppeteer from hell
Pulling every single string he can reach
But some strings, they are invisible
For the devil to see

Now that I’ve seen, seen your true face
I don’t know what to believe

You are blocking everything
That I may care for
You are slowly shooting me down

I’ve closed the gates and blinded
His sight to my beating heart

Turn, turn up the rage – build up the bars
You’ll never imprison my soul
I have an angel – one you can’t see
Who’s making me whole

The claws of despair
Came crawling in
Tried to rip me apart

No force will come, will come through
And keep me away from you

Turn, turn up the rage – build up the bars
You’ll never imprison my soul
I have an angel – one you can’t see
Who’s making me whole

It felt like a thousand knives in my heart
When it ripped us apart

Now that I’ve seen, seen your true face
I don’t know what to believe

Turn, turn up the rage – build up the bars
You’ll never imprison my soul
I have an angel – one you can’t see
Who’s making me whole

04. Silver Cross

So, everything would come to bear
Evidence was everywhere
Possessed by evil
Darkness clutched right to the soul
Driven by lust and need
No matter what the cost

Silver cross – forget those ancient rules

Slow, becoming someone else
A face in the mirrors
Back from hell
Eyes, that stare and find no
A real recognition with no transmission

Silver cross – forget those ancient rules
Silver cross – the time has come for the fools

No more laws
Forget this cause

I’m, I’m feeling stronger and with no morality
With no transparency
What is this I am waiting for
I know nothing’s clear
With no doubt

Silver cross – forget those ancient rules
Silver cross – the time has come for the fools

No more lies
Open your eyes

05. In Your Mind

I guess it all makes sense
There is every proof and evidence
That all you think is true
That all is clear between me and you

There is a need to be sure
You think there is a real good cure
To control under lock and key
To realize what makes . makes me, me

In your mind
Deep inside
In your mind
What do you find?
In your mind
Deep inside
In your mind

There is a hole and void
Dangers you dare not exploit
What makes you cry and hide
What’s in the dark must not – come to light

In your mind
Deep inside
In your mind
What do you find?
In your mind
Deep inside
In your mind

In your life you’ll find
In your heart you’re blind
In your soul you know
In your mind you have to go

You can only see yourself
You’ll never be anything else
Lies within the one you are
You’ll always have an inner – inner war

In your mind
Deep inside
In your mind
What do you find?
In your mind
Deep inside
In your mind

06. The Ghost Of Me

Am I a ghost or living today?
Why don’t anybody hear what I say
Just walking by, noticing nothing
I’m right here

Cold empty eyes and broken ears
Tired of talking to shadows
Feeling alone in a crowded room
I’m right here

When my time comes, and I have to go
I’m gonna see you again, that’s all I know

The ghost of me
Why don’t you realize
It’s time to see
You got to recognize
The ghost of me
Time will tell

Cannot speak of the things that I know
Nobody would understand
Wondering if someone would see
I disappear

When my time comes, and I have to go
I’m gonna see you again, that’s all I know

The ghost of me
Why don’t you realize
It’s time to see
You got to recognize
The ghost of me
Time will tell

The ghost of me
Why don’t you realize
It’s time to see
You got to recognize
The ghost of me
Time will tell

The ghost of me
Why don’t you realize
It’s time to see
You got to recognize
The ghost of me
Time will tell

Scared of going back to sleep
What if I don’t wake up
Have to see you today
If this is the last… of me

07. Force Of Indifference

Duplicate, replicate, copy to annihilate
I swallow what you feed me, unquestionly
I have no care, can’t shed a tear
Really there is nothing there
My body is a shell for only physical needs

Everything’s so cold and numb
Not at trace of a beating heart
Ask yourself, when will you ever start again
Heaven’s broke, your cross is gone
Idle hands seek the missing one
Day gone by by telling only filthy lies

The strongest force of all
The force of indifference
There’s no force at all
The force of indifference

The strongest force of all
The force of indifference
There’s no force at all
The force of indifference

Replicate, duplicate, copy to annihilate
I swallow what you feed me now, unquestionly
I have no care, can’t shed a tear
Really there is nothing there
My body is a shell for only physical needs

The strongest force of all
The force of indifference
There’s no force at all
The force of indifference

08. Varg I Veum

Wolfman, wolfman, knocking on my door
Shaking me to my inner core
Born from the earth, raised in the woods
You are the bringer of death

Calling, calling, have the eyes of fear
Are you really there?

Varg i veum – varg, desecrate the altar

I know what created you
Made you, unmade you, are you real?
You are the bringer of chaos
Right here, in sheep’s clothing

Varg i veum – varg, desecrate the altar

Symbol, an entity, you have no care
You are not, even real
But I feel your presence now
Take my soul, I made my bow

Varg i veum – varg, desecrate the altar
Varg i veum – varg, desecrate the altar

09. Mors Ontologica

Once it used to shine, shine through me
Now I fear it is almost gone

It used to fill my soul with delight

Oh spirit, where have you gone?
I feel so lost, the lonely one
Oh spirit, where have you fled?
Am I to blame, the cause of your death?

Filled me with conviction, strength, and smile
Now my mouth is dry
Words and wisdom once bit my tongue

Oh spirit, where have you gone?
I feel so lost, the lonely one
Oh spirit, where have you fled?
Am I to blame, the cause of your death?

This body is my tomb, breath’s a chore
I cannot see, feel, my path no more

Stumble in darkness, scream for deaf ears

Oh spirit, where have you gone?
I feel so lost, the lonely one
Oh spirit, where have you fled?
Am I to blame, the cause of your death?

10. Eternal Night

Why is it that my path is hard to find?
Searching for a direction in my mind
This feels like one step forward, two in reverse

I see your struggle now, we share the dark
This weight is on your chest and in your heart
As these eyes meet, reflection that is sad

Close your eyes – no need to see
This darkness is what we believe
We who gave up upon the light
Eternal night

I need a blessing, please lift my curse
A quick drive forward, now book my hearse
We know there is something there we could have had

Close your eyes – no need to see
This darkness is what we believe
We who gave up upon the light
Eternal night

Why is it that my path is hard to find?
Searching for direction in my mind
This feels like one step forward, two reverse

Close your eyes – no need to see
This darkness is what we believe
We who gave up upon the light
Eternal night
Eternal night

11. Beggars In Black Suites

You – hold your hands forth, honesty in your eyes
You – speak those soft words, all filled with lies
Filled with lies

How – can you wear those honest, pleading, caring eyes
When – all you want is for us, to believe your lies
Believe your lies

Beggars in black suits
Take it all from you
Beggars in black suits
Command it all – you should do
Beggars in black suits
Take it all from you
Beggars in black suits
Command it all – you should do

Now – we really know you, despise you to the core
We – will make sure that you, shall be no more
Be no more

Beggars in black suits
Take it all from you
Beggars in black suits
Command it all – you should do
Beggars in black suits
Take it all from you
Beggars in black suits
Command it all – you should do
