Seven witches waiting when bleak death is near in silent grace
Conjuring the damned while opening the gates of Hell Goddess, as your raging hand shall strike your spear and pierce the land Accept my sacrifice and take my soul to realms beyond Nightfall! Reap, oh great Death, with your fleshless womb When night falls again, so falls the world See them run from your eyeless skull Nightfall! Cloak their hearts, let them fear the night When life fade, the abyss will thrive For when she rise, there's no turning back Even in my deepest, darkest dreams, it's all I see and all I feel I gaze upon a silent world where all is black and dark Nightfall! Reap, oh great Death, with your fleshless womb When night rules again, we shall destroy Watch them flee from our ruthless force Nightfall! Burn their shrines, make them fear the night When hope dies, the abyss will thrive Swallow the light, let the sky turn black She who lit the black infernal blaze that shall devour all that remains From ancient lands, a burning greed to kill and to consume "The children of the light shall feed the insatiable lust of the one with seven names And we who stand with her names as our own shall conquer the thrones Of humanity With force Her wings spread out wide to cover the sun and to strip the world Of all happiness and warmth Rise from the abyss, oh servants of the great beasts and let us rule for all eternity" Nightfall! Reap, oh great Death, with your fleshless womb When night falls again, so does the world See them run from your eyeless skull Nightfall! Cloak their hearts, let them fear our might And from the depths of Hell, we climb To bring the night, there's no turning back She who lit the black eternal flame that shall absorb all that remains From ancient lands, a burning will to crush and to consume Nightfall! Reap, oh great Death, with your fleshless womb When night rules again, we shall destroy Watch them flee from our ruthless force Nightfall! Burn their shrines, make them fear the night When hope dies, the abyss will thrive Swallow the light, let the sun turn black Nightfall! 02. Let The Devil In
I take a deep, good look inside myself
I open up the gates to let the Devil in He's riding on the shadow of my soul And everywhere I go, he'll be there walking beside me The bringer of chaos Through my eyes he sees the world And the voices, they are guiding my hands I open up the throat to sacrifice the lamb of God And let the warm and flowing blood Fulfill my emptiness and let the Devil hear The futile, painful, soundless screams He's riding on the shadow of my soul I open wide the chest to feast upon the beating heart And let the pulse arouse my flesh And our eyes can see, so deep within the dark When all is black we're marching on We wander through the flaming pits of Hell Where hungry beasts have waited since the birth of time Of fire born and eager to consume To scorch the earth, to burn the world To cleanse the filth and drown it all in blood The bringer of chaos Through my eyes he sees the world And my hands are no longer my own I open up the throat to sacrifice the lamb of God And let the warm and flowing blood Fulfill my emptiness and let the Devil hear The futile, painful, soundless screams I open wide the chest to feast upon the beating heart And let the pulse arouse my flesh And our eyes can see so deep within the dark When all is black and all is gone 03. When Our Vengeance Is Done
Servants of God and the cross and the lamb
A gathering of fools One by one they will crawl through the mud To bow their heads to the Beast They gather in flocks and they pray on guilt and innocence While they are hiding their lies In temples and convents they're lurking, oh so prominent They reach beyond every aspect of life till they die We shall invoke the ancient, raging evil Comе let us feast upon the priest and drink their holy blood We will reclaim the throne and banish all the filthy scum And cut the tongues out from their mouths, and see the life escape their eyes They gather like crows when they think they've found the weakest ones While they are masking the truth They hide behind virtue and guilt while making promises If you see right through their veil, they hide a hive full of worms They think they are wolves but they fear what's hiding deep inside For we can see through their lies, and it is time to wage war We're calling forth the end, the Antichrist And let us feast like hungry beasts and share it with the dogs We will inflict the wounds that rids the world of their decay And push the spears right through their hearts to see their eyes devoid of light They're screaming like pigs as we strike the match to burn them down While they are joining their hands They hide behind shame and regret, but we'll show them none And when our vengeance is done, they will forever be gone 04. Nosferatu
Far beyond the shrouded gates
At dawn I rest on ancient soil And through the endless halls then stray 'Til darkness rules the world again I roam the misty roads at night I am the dream that made you fear the dark I am the wolf you'll never see When you wake up you'll be damned just like me While spreading my wings to hunt where there is no light I am the mist and the worms in your grave I am the terminal breath upon your neck And in your dreams you will be dead like me I am giving you death Your blood's my life I am the bringer of the disease The Nosferatu The mind will drift between the worlds And be released from dismay and grief Then as the lungs no longer breathe And when the soul is detached from the heart Feasting upon your sapid blood I am a wraith that haunts your very soul I am your darkest fantasies If you survive, you'll be damned just like me I'm sinking my teeth to feed, and blood gives me life I offer death and the end of your strife I am a merciless ghoul, a sinful beast And in your dreams you will be dead like me I am giving you death Your blood's my life I am the bringer of the disease The Nosferatu From the ghastly grave and the tenebrous mist We maketh our glorious arrival For we are the superior seed of Belial From battlefields from beyond From the fields of the great Black Death From the greed of a scorched earth For the blood in your pulsating veins We have come to rule the moonlit night 05. When I’m Gone
I know today will be the day that I die
Haunted by the winds and the gloom is unending My death shall liberate me as I thirst for the night I'm here alone while waiting for my grave When I'm gone No gods can stop me as I plunge into the shadows I'm torn apart from this world When I'm gone I'll be the whisper in the night, I'll walk beside you Till we're united once more Until the Stygian bleakness of time I'm dressed up in my coffin, and the soil is cold My hands are in necrosis, and my eyes, they are blind I'm here alone, just waiting for my grave When I'm gone No gods can stop me as I dive into the shadows I'm torn apart from it all When I'm gone I'll be a whisper in the night, I'll walk beside you Till we unite in the dark When I'm gone I will be gone until you join me in the shadows And we're apart from this world When I'm gone We will be whispers in the night, we will be echoes When we're united at last Let my demise and ruination fade I've waited too long for this moment And now, I'm leaving these realms My thousand screams were not in vain I know today will be the day that I die Scattered by the breeze and the night is eternal My death shall liberate me as I thirst for the dark I'll wait for you each night in our grave When I'm gone When I'm gone When I'm gone 06. Beyond The Grave
From the graves of the damned who has left this world
And from the ashes of their thoughts We shall rise above with our blackened souls And steal the beat of every heart Like a silenced drum on a starless night That is what they will all become Under clouded skies runs a river deep Into the shadows of my mind Where I stand I can see the horizon aflame Black clouds are rising so high And the sun will not give any warmth to those Fearful and crying From a world full of hope there is nothing to see Mountains collapse into nameless graves And I rule over desolate landscapes so torn Their temples shall fall Into ruins forlorn all enwrapped in mist And through the echoes of the past I will lay my soul to eternal rest And from my coffin made of stone I will see decay, I will know the end And I am waiting for my time In the great abyss, in the precipice Is where the throne of hell is mine When the river of blood's running down your neck And when your wrists are open wide You will lay your soul in a pitch black hole That's just as dark and cold as mine You will smell the earth with your fading breath As you are drained and fade away To the other side of the veil of life To where the shadows now are mine From the depths of your grave you will finally feel How all your chains are breaking And the burdens of life are being lifted off So walk with the shadows For the world that you shunned is so hopelessly lost And now forever broken With a merciless heart they'll be left there to die They are doomed forever As they stand against the grains of time They surely know what is to come And from the shadowside we're watching Indifferent and detached From beyond we can hear all the cries and the screams Dark days are filled with murder And the moon shall rejoice in the sight of those Searching for shelter In a world full of pain there is nowhere to hide Nowhere to run to take cover And we rule over desolate landscapes so scorned The circle is broken 07. A Beast To Praise
In solitude I am talking to ghosts
And while the netherworld is being ripped open wide My human flesh is still keeping me Between these walls, and I am eager to die I am creating all these fantasies With all those filthy claws reaching out My dreams are dark and they are not my own I hear the devil call, he's crying out for blood His crimson eye is watching from the depths of the night I am forsaken and my sanity's abandoned me My hands are cold, I have a strength that's beyond my fading flesh I am becoming what I knew I would bе The beast of hate The killer's knife, the murderer of gods Inside my head I am feeding my thoughts And as the darkness falls I stand strong and proud My serpent skin is still cold and sleek I am sublime and I am ready to die The evil one is watching from the depths of the dark I am alone and driven by my murder fantasies My thoughts are vile, I have an urge to destroy my human mold I am becoming what I always have been A beast so great The stabbing knife, deliverer of death My eyes turn black, I have a drive that's too strong to comprehend I am the fallen one that conquers the night A beast to praise To fear and awe, I am the king of the damned In loneliness I am ruling the world And now my kingdom reaches so far and wide My flesh and bones were just keeping me Confined and chained, but I am finally dead My hands are strong, I have the brawn to destroy my mortal cage I am more vicious than I ever have been A beast from hell A ruthless force, the bearer of the flame My eyes are black, I have a lust that's too strong to hold against I shall bring slaughter and erase the light A beast to praise To fear and awe, the bringer of the end 08. Leviathan
Along the mountains lie, like mirrors in the dark
Worlds of endless depths drowned in waves Under the light of the moon Across the raging sea the giant serpent crawl Through the night, far below the surface Like a raving echo from the past The great Leviathan rise Rise! For where he roam there is no peace, no stone will ever stand The end is nigh and day becomes a memory to slowly fade When he rise from the abyss, to slowly drag us down To tear apart what we have built and show us all the end of the world The great Leviathan! In from the west he strikes and sink his teeth into the hands And mind and soul and memories of fading hopes and futile dreams As he rise from the abyss, constricting every man To swallow whole our hearts and souls and bring us to our destiny The great Leviathan! "Great guardian of the void, ascend from the pitch black sea." "Below the fading moon and the sky, the winding of time and space desists And the light horizon is transformed, by the blackness of our hearts" And from the big black hole that holds the dark of every man The precipice, the dark abyss, the well we have been drinking from We arise anew to face a day devoid of light To moult our skin and rip to shreds the things that we are leaving behind The great Leviathan! 09. We Are The Apocalypse
When the crowned great sovereign of night is reborn
The seal in white is shattered in a million pieces The Antichrist will claim allegiance to the throne And the lamb shall be devoured for we shall feast on his soul For we shall feast on his soul Over seas of agony and oceans of despair A never ending stream of grief, of molten stone and painful death Among the dead, cursed the pyres reach towards the sacred skies Through the blood red mist we march with death and fire riding by our side When the second seal has been crushed He'll lead us unto war When the third seal from the deep Abyss is torn And the black death sweeps the land, cast upon the weakest Disease and torment strips the bodies from their souls And the scourge shall linger on, and leave but ashes and bones When the fourth seal has been erased He'll lead us into death Riders of the great beast Come reap and let's destroy The earth and set fire to the sky Over seas of agony and oceans of despair A never ending stream of grief, of molten stone and painful death Among the dead and cursed the pyres reach towards the sacred skies Through the gates of Hell we march with all demonic forces by our side We are the Apocalypse Apocalypse We are the Apocalypse |
