01. King Of The Underworld

Come now don’t lie
Your jealous dull eyes
Been watching me with interest for some time
Covet what I have
You want it so bad
For my empire you will stab my back
One mistake is all it would take
To turn my world against me

You’re a tick, you’re a leech
You’re a liar, you’re a thief
And a part of me wants to let it all go
But somewhere behind the visage of ice
The fire’s burning high, and I think you should know
That while I’ve been in hell, I’ve been teaching myself
If the pain doesn’t sell, I’ll make it my own
So sit tight on my throne ‘cause when I make it home
I’ll burn you to the bone
King of the underworld!

I’ve seen Heaven I’ve been in hell
I walked the Earth, but no more parallels
I’ll take all three
All parts of me
And becoming a creature beyond belief
You peasant, you fool! You thought I was cruel?
But if you had a fucking clue
About the things that I’ve had to do
You would realize I’m so much greater than you

You’re a tick, you’re a leech
You’re a liar, you’re a thief
And a part of me wants to let it all go
But somewhere behind the visage of ice
The fire’s burning high, and I think you should know
That while I’ve been in hell, I’ve been teaching myself
If the pain doesn’t sell, I’ll make it my own
So sit tight on my throne ‘cause when I make it home
I’ll burn you to the bone
King of the underworld!

Shredder!

You want my kingdom? I'll burn it to the ground
You took my home, I'mma tear that bitch down
I built this love with blood, sweat, and tears
It took you a few days to fuck up many years
She's all yours now with her blackened scarred heart
Now you can spend your life mending each little part
When you fall in the fire, that’s the price that you’ll pay
You can sack an empire, but the queen's a better lay

You’re a tick, you’re a leech
You’re a liar, you’re a thief
And a part of me wants to let it all go
But somewhere behind the visage of ice
The fire’s burning high, and I think you should know
That while I’ve been in hell, I’ve been teaching myself
If the pain doesn’t sell, I’ll make it my own
So sit tight on my throne ‘cause when I make it home
I’ll burn you to the bone
King of the underworld!

King of the underworld! (x4)

02. Tales Of A Fallen

When the devil, Prince of darkness
Went to the darkest place to think
In the darkest hour of the darkest night
Devil thought about the darkest thing
And that dark thing looked like me
Looked like me

It’s me! (x3)

Once upon a very long time ago
In the time of giants and beasts
When all was black and all was dark
Even shadows were all unseen
No Cyan, scarlet, gold, or blue
Even fire thrashed black flames
When all was nothing and nothing was all
Even time was standing still

Black forever! Black forever!
Color of my soul
Me inside it or it inside me?
Fallen soul or the darkness troll?

Abaddon, Demons, and goblins
And all the evil fallen
Gathered in hell and all hell burnt
Gave their powers to the ancient snake
Treacherous reptile shed its skin
And all hell hailed in awe
Then all was dark and all became darker
To god, the doomed shall bow
Lucifer took the dragon’s torch
And Lucifer shed her skin
Stark snake screamed: Black forever!
Venus burnt Eden in Evelyn’s sin

When the devil, Prince of darkness
The black rose raised from her tomb
In the darkest hour of the darkest night
Saw the darkest clouds in the land of gloom
Then she crept to the darkest place on earth
To hide and to see
Then she thought about the darkest thing
And that dark thing looked like me

When the devil, Prince of darkness
Went to the darkest place to think
In the darkest hour of the darkest night
Devil thought about the darkest thing
And dark that thing looked like me

It’s me (x4)

Black forever! Black forever!
Color of my soul
Me inside it or it inside me?
Fallen soul or the darkness troll?

03. No Speed Limit

Always racing! Dangers I’ll be facing! Like a razor blazing when I speed
Ruthless feeling! The speed gauge is bleeding! Like a thunder storming when I speed
Fearless speeding! No regrets, no ruin! All the clogs destroying as I speed
No fear, no pain! Adrenaline flows in vain! More power and torque as I speed

Since I have fallen I haven’t hit the ground
Since I have fallen I have been safe and sound
Safe and sound
Since I have fallen I don’t need to face
No fault, no blame
Since I have fallen from your grace
So push me

Power I gain! More than you imagine! Cut you as I’m passing and I speed
No medallion! Only want rebellion! Riot of the million and I speed
Wheels on hellfire! My wing is my tier! Fly! Only one desire and it’s speed
No fear, no pain! No battle left to win! Acceleration! Acceleration and I speed

Since I have fallen I haven’t hit the ground
Since I have fallen I have been safe and sound
Safe and sound
Since I have fallen I don’t need to face
No fault, no blame
Since I have fallen from your grace
So push me

Faster (x3)

No grace, no mercy! I am always hasty! I am always thirsty for speed
I am close enough! And it has been so tough! But not tough enough for my speed
In the snow and rain! I will reign again! I shall reign again with speed

Since I have fallen I haven’t hit the ground
Since I have fallen I have been safe and sound
Safe and sound
Since I have fallen I don’t need to face
No fault, no blame
Since I have fallen from your grace
So push me

Since I have fallen I haven’t hit the ground
Since I have fallen I have been safe and sound
Safe and sound
Since I have fallen I don’t need to face
No fault, no blame
Since I have fallen from your grace
So push me

Faster (x6)

04. Life In the Attic

Sounds of ringing from the moon
Darkness, sadness find me soon
Piercing, shrewd, deranged thoughts
Mirror to any souls but mine
Fight the fight, I’ll never stop
Gazing through the stars and clouds
The one I seek I will find
When I’m through killing my own mind
What I seek I will find
The one I seek I’ll watch him die (x2)

No more tears! No more fears!
No more pain! No more lies!
No more mirrors
No more tears! No more fears!
No more pain! No more lies!
No more mirrors, no, no more

Devil made me do them all
I don’t know what I have done
When I do it, I just travel
And I go, and I am gone
Out of my skin I’ll crawl
Out of my brain I’ll fly
When I do it, I just travel
And I go, and I am gone

Luxury I can’t afford
Vocal thoughts and vocal mourns
Trapped inside this thought of mine
Is it his or is it mine?
Try to escape from this world and time
Walls of mirror all I find
Try to run, try to hide
I shall seek, and I will find
What I seek I will find
The one I seek I’ll watch him die (x2)

No more tears! No more fears!
No more pain! No more lies!
No more mirrors
No more tears! No more fears!
No more pain! No more lies!
No more mirrors, no, no more

No regret, no mercy, no guilt
It wasn’t me who did these things
Can I just pack and go?
Night will end me for us all
When I can’t find words to say
Nothingness will speak my mind
Demons of my world, demons of yours (x7)

05. Offensive Mob

Time is here, and time is now
Don’t look back and don’t ask how
Jump in the pit, end this war
Give your soul, I settled the score
Surf and jump and hold your breath
Storm into my wall of death
Offensive mob speeds at night
Offensive mob rules at night

Vortex of the black flames
Vortex of the black flames
There’s no hiding from it
Armageddon’s here
Armageddon’s here
There’s no hiding from it
Castigation, retribution, annihilation, death
There’s no hiding from it

Destroyer! Is this the end?
Destroyer! Is this the end?
Destroyer! Is this the end?
Destroyer! This is the end!

Your pharaohs, mummies overturned
Marduk clenches his Imhullu
Cybele’s children left to die
Ashened face, Anu cried

Burnt! Ashened! Scarred! Bruised!
Cut! Bled! Perished! Doomed! Cursed!

Mankind ... Exited!

Time is here, and time is now
Don’t look back and don’t ask how
Jump in the pit, end this war
Give your soul, settle the score
Surf and jump and hold your breath
Storm into my wall of death
Offensive mob speeds at night
Offensive mob rules at night

Vortex of the black flames
Vortex of the black flames
There’s no hiding from it
Armageddon’s here
Armageddon’s here
There’s no hiding from it
Castigation, retribution, annihilation, death
There’s no hiding from it

Destroyer! Is this the end?
Destroyer! Is this the end?
Destroyer! Is this the end?
Destroyer! This is the end!

Your pharaohs, mummies overturned
Marduk clenches his Imhullu
Cybele’s children left to die
Ashened face, Anu cried

Burnt! Ashened! Scarred! Bruised!
Cut! Bled! Perished! Doomed! Cursed!

On the damned glade deep in the forest of the lunatic
Where his window still burns
Host has left his quiet guests
Counting blotches on them didn’t help with passing the time
He left the attic when he realized
That man’s vessel cannot contain deity’s wrath for long
Hell and Abaddon are before the king
How much more the hearts of the mankind?
He to the tell of Armageddon shall ride!
He rides with the white, the red, the black, and the pale.

“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of may
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd
And every fair from fair sometime declines
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st
So long as men can breathe,or eyes can see
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee!"

The grave is naked before the king
The grave is naked before the king
Abaddon can’t shield it from his sight
The grave is naked before the king
The grave is naked before the god
Abaddon can’t shield it from his sight

Destroyer! Is this the end?
Destroyer! Is this the end?
Destroyer! Is this the end?
Destroyer! Is this the end?

Destroyer! Angel of the abyss
Destroyer! Angel of the abyss
Destroyer! Angel of the abyss
Destroyer! Angel of the abyss

Ashened! Scarred! Bruised! Cut!
Bled! Perished! Doomed! Cursed!

Vortex of the black flames
Vortex of the black flames
There’s no hiding from it
Armageddon’s here
Armageddon’s here
There’s no hiding from it
Castigation, retribution, annihilation, death
There’s no hiding from it

06. Mankind...Exited!

They come, they go
They lie, they die
They steal, they fight
They destroy
Humans are marching to their end,
Nothing will stop them
All burns, all burns, nothing will be left

Rational animal, you’re so laughable
Now that your life’s ruined
Nothing on the cosmos, nothing on the earth
Winds of judgement blows

Ashes of the mankind
Burning pile of flesh
No one to hold on to
No one to protect
Come to realize: Silicon’s foe
Too late, too late!
Android wins

They kill, they hunt
They bite day and night
They cut green life
They see no light
Humans are marching to their end
I’m not gonna stop them
They burn, I fuel, and all things will be burnt

Rational animal, you’re so laughable
Now that your life’s ruined
Nothing on the cosmos, nothing on the earth
Winds of judgement blows

Ashes of the mankind
Burning pile of flesh
No one to hold on to
No one to protect
Come to realize: Silicon’s foe
Too late, too late!
Android wins

This is the end! This is it!
They will be gone! They are gone!

Ashes of the mankind
Burning pile of flesh
No one to hold on to
No one to protect
Come to realize: Silicon’s foe
Too late, too late! Android wins

No sign of the mankind
Nuclear end
No more tears and no more fears
No more anything
Come to realize: Silicon’s foe
Too late, too late, men lose! Android wins

This is the end! This is it!
They will be gone! They are gone!
This is the end! This is it!

07. All Hell Breaks Loose

I think I hold my grudge against you for a quite long time
I think I hold it long enough and now it’s the payback time
Locking me within these walls for all these cursed years
Nothing’s changed but I’m much stronger
I’m hunter, I’m avenger!
You’re just my fucking prey

If my arms get torn off
I’ll just kick you dead
If my legs get torn off
I’ll just bite you dead
If my head gets torn off
I’ll just stare you dead
If my eyes get torn off
I’ll just curse you dead

All hell breaks loose
I am breaking loose
All hell breaks loose
I am breaking loose

Shut the door knocked the lights out, nothing else to see
Dungeon’s darkness shined upon me, soon I will be free
No need for keys to open doors to these halls of doom
Gonna punch the walls break my way through
I’m hunter, I’m avenger!
You’re just my fucking prey

If my arms get torn off
I’ll just kick you dead
If my legs get torn off
I’ll just bite you dead
If my head gets torn off
I’ll just stare you dead
If my eyes get torn off
I’ll just curse you dead

All hell breaks loose
I am breaking loose
All hell breaks loose
I am breaking loose
I, I’ll kick you dead
I, I’ll bite you dead
I, I’ll stare you dead
I, I’ll curse you dead
You, you’re dead
You, you’re dead

Breaking loose, loose, loose
Breaking loose, loose, loose
All hell breaks loose

You, you’re dead! I’m breaking loose
You, you’re dead! I’m breaking loose
You, you’re dead! I’m breaking loose
You, you’re dead! I’m breaking loose

08. Babylon

Ubiquitous eyes
Resurrecter rise
Euphrates rage
Ca-dimirra cleft
I shall shew unto thee
Judgment of the great whore
Great whore!
Siseth upon many waves
Unholy Trinity’s first-born
Hanging garden, seven hills
Tornadic flash, waves sealed her sight
Ubiquitous eyes
Resurrecter rise

Crimson goddess sail on
Sail on Nippur’s hope and freedom
Amorite preacher babble on
Our salient writ and storied oath
Promise of sacred cuneiform
Lunatic scarred Hammurabi
Hillah’s saghi pour on
Sweet wine of your fornication

Ubiquitous eyes
Resurrecter rise
Leaching into Ishtar
Gates are open wide
Sixty ferocious lions on each side
Forty-six bricks for each one
Ten and a one rows she lined up
Yeah, Babylon made her Babylon
Seeing is not believing
Many a moon, cryptic claw caressed her
Ubiquitous eyes
Resurrecter rise

Crimson goddess sail on
Sail on Nippur’s hope and freedom
Amorite preacher babble on
Our salient writ and storied oath
Promise of sacred cuneiform
Lunatic scarred Hammurabi
Hillah’s saghi pour on
Sweet wine of your fornication

Run, fly, fade, hide, wane, flag out
Oblivion seek, forget this rout(e)
Purgatory unleashed
Akkad is done, it’s over

Count your blessings, be and stay wise
Resurrection is a lie
Stones on tombs remain
They don’t roll on
No angel’s coming down

No angel’s coming down
No angel’s coming down
No! No angel’s coming down for you

No angel’s coming down
No angel’s coming down
No! No angel’s coming down for you

09. Nowhere To Run

Wrath of a god, he’s returned, in black flames
Underworld king, outta control, brings endless pain
Hole in the sky, he’s back, world’s exodus
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, nowhere
king of the underworld

Grim evil! Eerie sight!
Wish you were dead! Never been born!
Sanity is gone! Lunacy!
Death is a wish! Tortures umpteen!

Mark of Cain on your face

Flames and ashes, bones and fleshes
Rivers run red
Wrath of the king, killing your offspring
He’ll make you watch
Eye of the Nile, eye of the Ra, all eyes blinded
Underworld beasts seek flesh, they devour
Hole in the ground, he’s undead, underworld’s genesis
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, nowhere
king of the underworld

Toxic air! Burning lungs!
Screaming beasts! Boiling blood!
Eons to come! Eons to die!
Endless death! Dementia!

Branded cattle who you are

Time is my bitch, ‘till I take revenge
Clocks stand still
Hathor, Sekhmet, Bastet, Wadjet
All your gods: Dead!
Sea is red, and sky is gray and
Green is no more
Dogs bite your face, paralyzed by snakes
But you can’t die yet

Took me a long time to decide
Took me a long time to know
What should I do to take my revenge?
From you all pathetic peasants

This used to be a good world
And I used to be its good king
But, then you, yes you went after my kingdom
And you thought that you killed me

Well, I lived and I shall live forever
After I burn this kingdom to the ground
You get to call me your king one last time
King of the underworld

Oh no dear, you’re not going to die
Me killing you? Are you insane?
What kind of a monster you think I am?
What kind of a king you think has returned?

Ever wondered what happened
When you all left me to die?
Well, I did die, just to be brought back to life
By some traitorous reptile
And one or two of her companions

Evelin's goddess, Venus gave me a new life in her garret
And I thought someone with such power should not exist
So, I ended the king of Tyre, the Prince of the dark
I owed her one, I made it quick

So, enough about me and let’s talk about you
And all the plans that I have for you
Allow me to cantillate this part
Oh, I waited so long to sing your epitaph

When I think about what I could do to you to make you pay for betraying me,-nothing seems enough
I thought I could make you blind, chain you in a dungeon to hear your family cry as they die
Could make you all thirsty for your kin’s blood and then watch all of you seek your best friends
Give you your worst nightmares, return you to what scares you in your wildest dreams
Beyond the realms of evil

Slavery again for you Africa and Jews
And I put the hooks back on your lips
Make Hitler and Bin Laden
Fathers of your children

But that won’t do, would it?
I had to think hard for something you all deserve for betraying me
This tale could never have a happy ending
‘Cause it’s a tale of a fallen

So, what’s painful and what’s eternal?
It’s not death, it’s constantly dying
I came back prepared, I came back prepared!
Killed all your gods as I returned

I decided as for my revenge and as your eternal punishment
I am not going to do anything to your precious existence
Heh! Precious creation, mankind

Instead of doing anything to you I’m going to make you a thing
I’m giving you a new identity
A full conscious eternal fresh being

From now on, every time you hear a mother screams
after losing her newborn to a disease ... You’re that scream
When you hear a soldier screams after losing his best friend,
best man at his wedding, screams to see his brother as the hero bleeds- out ... You’re his scream

A desperate cute girl from a struggling poor family comes home from her night shift-
to find his husband hanged himself with a- note that reads,
“Honey, I know what you’ve been doing.” You’re- her scream

You don’t get to shut up! You don’t get to unscream!
Feeling every possible pain that could possibly hurt anyone, but, you’ll just be a sad scared scream

I’ll make you that scream! I’ll make you her scream!
Now, you’re my scream! Scream for me eternally!

Scream (x8)

Nowhere to Run (x5)

10. Azrael's Reaping

World of mankind at its peak, bleeding edge
Equality, glory, success
Peace achieved! Cancer cured! Wars stopped!
Diseases no more

How did that all end?
Smiling as he killed
Attic Lunatic, attic mislaid
“Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears”

But, it’s all useless
Wearing Chronos like his watch
Hades cheated on the Apocalypse
How could he defeat Lucifer so easily?
Is he the beginning of an end?
Once left lifeless by men
Took three gods to resurrect him
One down, two to go

Sorcerer of vile doomed bashment
Unearthly red wronged white advent
Pensive, torn, pale, lucid, gasted
She’s dead

Pall-less she, Benthos eternal bed
Amphisbaena pelted, she’s dead
He brooked on a whim, Babylon absconded
She left

Die, die, die, die
Die, die, please die

Took away my power
I cannot reap anymore
Souls beg to be perished
Tortured every second

No, I can’t reap anymore
No, I can’t reap anymore
No, they can’t sleep anymore
No, they can’t rest anymore

Purgatory unleashed

El, Zeus, Hashem, Abba, Lord, God and Jesus
Send me a sign if you exist
Endless screams shout; souls are restless Restless
Take me, leave me in Gehenna
Leave me all alone in the abyss
Just don’t let my soul scream anymore
No more

Die, die, die, die
Die, die, please die

Took away my power
I cannot reap anymore
Souls beg to be perished
Tortured every second

No, I can’t reap anymore
No, I can’t reap anymore
No, they can’t sleep anymore
No, they can’t rest anymore

Purgatory, purgatory, purgatory unleashed

When will this end?
Whispering as he killed
"It’s not for you to know the times or dates the king has set by his own will"

Azrael, you’ll never reap again
Hades turned this world into his underworld,
Left me with a wish that all the existence was gone
All the void I cannot bare anymore
Nihilistia shrieks while it can’t hide the scorn
In its uninhabited voice
I don’t think he even wanted to unleash this much wrath
Like a badmash leading an Offensive Mob
He ruined all just to rule over immortal souls?
Yeah! But, that’s what exactly he did

Screams call as I to thee (4)

El Shaddai
El Shaddai
El Elyon Na Adonai
Age to age, you’re the same
You're never there (x3)

11. Wake Up The Darkness

Dead, dead, dead, dead, they all died
Lava’d wasteland, gray skies cried
Gods of old times scattered scared
One by one they all fall down

Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick of your silence
Rise and cut the threads of your reliance
Break free, emerge from that murk now
You’re not a particle, you’re not that

Just one chance left, a petite secret
When he touches his scars, he sheds a tear
Your hidden hope: his scars and tears
He broods, you rise! Once in a thousand years

No need for cure ‘cause there is no disease
No need for penance ‘cause there is no sin
Hades took his throne. HE! He is the king
Break the curse, wake up
Wake up the darkness

Now! lie the fragments of the gods
Those who knelt and those who covet his house
Jealous gods frowned upon his kingdom
Where the hell and who are you now?

Tick, leech, liar, thief, you peasant, you fool
What did you do to the king was cruel
Immortal we are, but mankind is no more
Cowards, couldn’t stand he’s greater than you

Die, die, die, die, die,die, die!
You fucking bastards, to him you’re not gods
Deity of yours was the essence of the mankind
The last of us, last of man, in that jar he smashed

No need for cure ‘cause there is no disease
No need for penance ‘cause there is no sin
Hades took his throne. HE! He is the king
Break the curse, wake up
Wake up the darkness

Wake up the darkness
Wake up the darkness
Wake up the darkness
Wake up the darkness
