Tracks



01. Screams From The Abattoir

Wicked sounds, the stench of death
Is tempting through doors ajar
Maniacs lured to this cesspool of vice
They'll take it far

Down towards the morgue
There's no fire without a spark

Savage screams from the abattoir
Metal shackles burst by sonic uproar
Scream, savage scream from the abattoir
Metal shackles burst by sonic uproar
Fists bruised and soar, blood on the floor

Screams from the abattoir

Dueling scars by glaring guitars
Frequences ripping, heavy and vast
Pressure's rising, you lift off the ground
Pierced by the hook, forever you're bound

Wicked sounds, the stench of death
Is tempting through doors ajar
Maniacs lured to this cesspool of vice
They'll take it far

Down towards the morgue
There's no fire without a spark

Savage screams from the abattoir
Metal shackles burst by sonic uproar
Scream, savage scream from the abattoir
Metal shackles burst by sonic uproar
Fists bruised and soar, blood on the floor

Screams from the abattoir

02. Unhallowed & Forgotten

Unhallowed and forgotten
Their souls will never reset
Scattered and bound to sinister ground
Bloodlust, their eternal quest
Unhallowed and forgotten
You'll not survive this night
They're out for a hunt and you'll take the brunt
Tormented, unsanctified

Sworn to the devil, deceivers of their god
Profaned bye their priests, eternally they rot
Cross pattens faded, flesh detached from bone
But virgin's blood keeps running from their altar stone

Unhallowed and forgotten
Their souls will never reset
Scattered and bound to sinister ground
Bloodlust, their eternal quest
Unhallowed and forgotten
You'll not survive this night
They're out for a hunt and you'll take the brunt
Tormented, unsanctified

Fog floats from all quarters, an eerie dangerous glow
Brittle hands resurface, rising from below
Hooded creatures longing, attracted by a smell
Old, seeded templars, from the depths of hell

As stone crosses begin to sway
Where many before've goes astray
Driven by their perpetual crave
The corpses rise up from their grave

Unhallowed and forgotten
Their souls will never reset
Scattered and bound to sinister ground
Bloodlust, their eternal quest
Unhallowed and forgotten
You'll not survive this night
They're out for a hunt and you'll take the brunt
Tormented, unsanctified

03. Transylvania

[Instrumental]

04. Realm Of The Impaler

Ashen moonlight strikes withered lands
A forlorn fortress ruled by his commands
Ascend from blighted towers faceless one
Pierced bodies hemming stone walls heavy manned

His name a curse, his tongue a whip
Soon your soul falls under a shadows grip down in

Transylvania - The call of Dracula
Transylvania - Realm of the impaler

The sword of Damocles devides the sun
A crusade of unseen horrors has begun
The sands of time are running through his hands
Blood will fill the moats once victory is won

His name a curse, his tongue a whip
Soon your soul falls under a shadows grip down in

Transylvania - The call of Dracula
Transylvania - Realm of the impaler

Transylvania - The call of Dracula
Transylvania - Realm of the impaler

Upon the hill a deadly toll
Your fate is sealed, becomes a whole
Entrails is ripping, flesh torn from bone
Just another body, no name in stone

05. Draw Your Blades

Now your time has come
Defenceless we're cowered
And there's nowhere to run
With our backs to the wall
The storm's coming closer
And it's set out its stall

Mortally scared, when death's at the door
No exit path, engulfing roars
None shall be sacred, no living men
Fear turns to wrath with every thrust of their ram

Draw your... Draw your blades,
Or is it too late!
Draw your... Draw your blades,
Or is it too late!
They are at the gates now!

As they come rushing in
They're greeted by darkness
And a sardonic grin
Our hands reach beneath
One fierce commando
And blades start to flash from their sheath

Off with their heads, decapitated
Blood gushing out, bodies lay dead
The smell of cold sweat, determined to fight
Leaving no doubt,
that we're lusting for violence tonight

Fearless and vast, we tear through their lines
Causing surprise as the fronts intertwine
Fight to the last, strip off your despair
Demoralized, tonight we will fight, 'til they're

Mortally scared, when death's at the door
No exit path, engulfing roars
None shall be sacred, no living men
Fear turns to wrath with every thrust of their ram

Draw your... Draw your blades,
Or is it too late!
Draw your... Draw your blades,
Or is it too late!
They are at the gates now!

06. Where There's A Whip (There Is A Way)

Chains pull on broken wrists
A you find yourself penned in
Still in semi-consciousness
As a cadence seems to begin

So watch out your tethers won't go slack
Or with malice the lashes mark your back

Where there's a whip there is a way
Succumb to the rhythm of our drill
Where there's a whip there is a way
Your whimper won't defy our iron will

Black leather shining bright
A conductor in black gloves
We hold the bridle rein
That's attached to all your cuffs

So watch out your tethers won't go slack
Or with malice the lashes mark your back

Where there's a whip there is a way
Succumb to the rhythm of our drill
Where there's a whip there is a way
Your whimper won't defy our iron will

A first to hit your crooked legs
The next straight to your back
Relentlessly the whip is raining down
With blood coursing from open wounds
It's time to grit your teeth
Your idle glance is turning to a frown

Torment turns to pleasure
As your pulse seems to align
Scars are the measurement
Of the thrashing on your spine

So watch out your tethers won't go slack
Or with malice the lashes mark your back

Where there's a whip there is a way
Succumb to the rhythm of our drill
Where there's a whip there is a way
Your whimper won't defy our iron will
Where there's a whip there is a way
Succumb to the rhythm of our drill
Where there's a whip there is a way
Your whimper won't defy our iron will

07. Der Tod Trägt Schwarzes Leder

[Instrumental]

08. Death Row

Straps around your wrists pulled tight
Confession extracted in desperate plight
No matter which words you'd have said
The verdict's cast in stone - they want you dead

Chained to a cot, damned you'll rot
The devil will eat up your soul
Torment is taking control on death

The ruler's words sound from his keep
Condemned you are trapped in dungeons deep
An iron gate - your prison's guard
Forever iti shall stay bolted and barred

Chained to a cot, damned you'll rot
The devil will eat up your soul
Torment is taking control on death

One day they'll break the seal
You'll be facing your ordeal
You will die broken on the wheel

Death row
Chained to a cot
Death row
Damned you'll rot
Death row
Cold will run your blood

09. Gargoyles

Hurried footfalls hit the pitch-black cobblestone
Rainfall breaks the flickering lantern' pale light come
At the strike of midnight a chime through the air,
A staggering scare
As you find yourself alone with your prayer

An uproar right up from the spire
As shadows lift into the sky
With beats thrashing, the town's in a roil
Take flight from the Gargoyles!

Gargoyles

Stalking at night, out for a flight
From rock solid state, Gargoyle awake

Seeking shelter in an archway's frightening gloom
As a silhouette passes by the ashen-pale-moon
Leaning out to rocks
that fall from the ledge right over your head
One false move and you're sure to be dead

Cracks grace their mugs in the night
As Gargoyles awake for their flight
Blood stains are trickling into the soil
Take flight from the Gargoyles!

Gargoyles

Gargoyles
Ripping From bone
Gargoyles
Flesh turned to stone
Gargoyles

Stalking at night, out for a fight
From rock solid state, Gargoyle awake

10. Oathbreaker

Torn lays the path, fear has stricken the most
Yet a rumbling boils up from the deep
Wrecked by a storm and washed up on this coast
But few could rise up from harsh heat

Oathbreaker, Oathbreaker
Follow the path of the risk-takers,
Oathbreaker, dawn breaker of sin!

Taunted by demons, rotten breath on your neck
Relighting furnaces cold
Your power will banish the stale misty shroud
For mercy favors the bold

Oathbreaker, Oathbreaker
Follow the path of the risk-takers,
Oathbreaker, dawn breaker of sin!

Hearts filled with fury a hunger a need
Thrashing through walls cast in sound
The clashing of iron, hammer in the seed
Their blood to forever be bound

Far up on steep cliffs a legacy told
Abysmal valleys echo a cry
Of giants who took on mountains old
And went on to conquer the sky

Oathbreaker, Oathbreaker
Follow the path of the risk-takers,
Oathbreaker, dawn breaker of sin!
Oathbreaker rising!

11. Sentinels (Heavier Than Time)

Charging at the crushing tides of time
Our wills unbroken
Sworn by the blade to live and die
an oath unspoken
Wrathful guardians of the realm
Raiding the stages
Monumental figures carved ins tone
Facing the ages

We are Sentinels - hear your call
Let them break upon this keep - one and all
We are Sentinels - forever I'm
Heavier than time!

Sentinels

Alleys dim shrouded by gleaming eyes
And gruesome faces
Wicked witches brewing wicked lies
In darkened places
The grin on the hanged mans velvet lips
A crumbling tower
We rip the flesh right off their bones
A midnight hour

We are Sentinels - hear your call
Let them break upon this keep - one and all
We are Sentinels - forever I'm
Heavier than time!

Sentinels

A checkerboard awaits
Your last turn at the world
As it is coming to an end
Arise black knights turn the hour glass,
This realm is ours to defend

We are Sentinels - hear your call
Let them break upon this keep - one and all
We are Sentinels - forever I'm
Heavier than time!

Sentinels
