He who walks the fire breathes
Unlike the rest Living by the bloody creed Kirisute Gomen Air of battle tasting stale Reeks of deceit Send the bitter straight to hell Kirisute Gomen In their wretched guts all they want is to feed Unending, covetous hunger known as greed As the last legion makes its way to the skies I can see in their eyes They've already died Inside, but as for the outside I'll take their fucking heads Quake has bred with the storm Conceiving war Wicked stampeding hordes Kirisute Gomen In their wretched guts all they want is to feed Unending, covetous hunger known as greed As the last legion makes its way to the skies I can see in their eyes They've already died Inside, but as for the outside I'll take their fucking heads I will never be what they Want me to I live by my own path in life No turning Back now, I won't be held down Forced into a Shallow grave built upon their empty ways There's no turning back There's hell to pay, such disarray A bloodied mess, flesh masquerade With all the blood making a flood You made your path by crossing us [Solo: CKB] [Solo: MKH] [Solo: CKB] He who spits the fire seethes All he detests Decapitating, bloody creed Kirisute Gomen In their wretched guts all they want is to feed Unending, covetous hunger known as greed As the last legion makes its way to the skies I can see in their eyes They've already died Inside, but as for the outside I'll take their fucking heads I will never be what they Want me to I live by my own path in life No turning Back now, I won't be held down Forced into a Shallow grave built upon their empty ways There's no turning back 02. Torn Between Scylla And Charybdis
Within struggle, amidst horror
Inside conflict, visceral war Make a stand here, vanquish all fear Don't hesitate, eradicate Torn between Scylla and Charybdis Feel the fear ripening, go taste it Torn between Scylla and Charybdis Feast fruits of valor, if you face it Walls of carnage surround your weakness Crash down like oceans, wait for the light In total darkness, drowning in bleakness Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life Divided by destiny Torn between death and doom Destruction by decision Fate shows me my open tomb Apprehension runs down your chin Masticate it, suck those tears in Life's a battle, perpetual crusade One against all, time to wield the blade Torn between Scylla and Charybdis Feel the fear ripening, go taste it Torn between Scylla and Charybdis Feast fruits of valor, if you face it In total darkness, drowning in bleakness Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life Divided by destiny Torn between death and doom Destruction by decision Fate shows me my open tomb A fight that tests the substance Of all that you call your life Destruction by decision Fate shows me my open tomb [Solo: CKB] Face down that which makes you bleed Turn it 'round and force your seed Down [Solo: PFG] [Solo: MKH] Face down that which makes you bleed Turn it 'round and force your seed Down [Solo: PFG] Torn between Scylla and Charybdis Feast fruits of valor, if you face it Walls of carnage surround your weakness Crash down like oceans, wait for the light In total darkness, drowning in bleakness Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life Divided by destiny Torn between death and doom Destruction by decision Fate shows me my open tomb A fight that tests the substance Of all that you call your life Destruction by decision Fate shows me my open tomb 03. Down From The Sky
A chasm grows
In the cavity of serpentine teeth Hunger pangs strike For the sweet feast of innocent blood Of innocent bloodshed Now here we go The vampires feed off the wars of mankind Growing fat on the throne of an empire Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire I've opened up my eyes Seen the world for what it's worth Tears rain down from the sky They'll blow it all to bits To prove whose god wields all the power Fire rains down from the sky The gaping wounds Hemorrhaging the blood from which they feast Eat us alive Consume to feed a hunger with no A hunger with no end Let's fucking go The vampires feed off the wars of mankind Growing fat on the throne of an empire Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire I've opened up my eyes Seen the world for what it's worth Tears rain down from the sky They'll blow it all to bits To prove whose god wields all the power Fire rains down from the sky This battle's not the same which they have led us To believe A synthesis of propaganda, terror and deceit We are the cattle; they the slaughter; our meat: Gasoline They pump us through the machine's valves To cleanse the world's "disease" We are the ammunition that will cause all life To cease Annihilate All those who stand in their way Obliterate They'll rain their holocaust down from the sky [Solo: MKH] The vampires feed off the wars of mankind [Solo: CKB] Growing fat on the throne of an empire Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire I've opened up my eyes Seen the world for what it's worth Tears rain down from the sky They'll blow it all to bits To prove whose god wields all the power Fire rains down from the sky Annihilate All those who stand in their way Obliterate They'll rain their holocaust down from the sky 04. Insurrection
Bow not before his creation
These mortals: "man" This act of insult Breeds our discontent He turned his back On our loyalty I will bring my insurrection And a war upon heaven I will bring my insurrection And a war upon heaven Hell-fire be my destruction For this war upon heaven Forged from fire I declare this war A war against Heaven I bring upon my scourge Filled with hubris A declaration of war It is I who spawns this fury Torches: ignite Blaze is set to engulf all of which we hate Storm in, eviscerate Every motherfucker in our way I will bring my insurrection And a war upon heaven I will bring my insurrection And a war upon heaven Hell-fire be my destruction For this war upon heaven Forged from fire I declare this war A war against Heaven I bring upon my scourge Filled with hubris A declaration of war Ascend to the heavens To destroy them all [Solo: CKB] [Solo: MKH] Forged from fire I declare this war A war against Heaven I bring upon my scourge Filled with hubris A declaration of war 05. Into The Mouth Of Hell We March
Can't you see, it's not only me
That feels we're linked to the seas Make your way to a massive grave If you can't fight for each day Torrential rain at the helm of death It drowns the weak, battering the rest Black walls of waves pummel to capsize The roaring thunder overshadows our cries Spires of lightning thrown down from the gods Melting skin even in the deluge The mast is broken, hull is splitting Dear God the fucking ship is sinking I will try to pour all of myself into this life Before I die Such turmoil, let's make the blood boil Make your time count or rot as the soil Life is hard, a fucking battle The time is now and here's your drum roll Torrential rain at the helm of death It drowns the weak, battering the rest Black walls of waves pummel to capsize The roaring thunder overshadows our cries Spires of lightning thrown down from the gods Melting skin even in the deluge The mast is broken, hull is splitting Dear God the fucking ship is sinking I will try to pour all of myself into this life Before I die If I go before my time Then take these words evermore into your life We crawl out from the wreckage Fingers dig into the sands Of the shores Everything we worked for Is ripped apart and ruined, drowned Deep beneath the dying world The Earth begins to open up Into the mouth of hell we march [Solo: CKB] [Solo: MKH] Now you see, for it is we Who walk the fire and breathe Make our way out of the grave And lick the blood from our blades Spires of lightning thrown down from the gods Melting skin even in the deluge The mast is broken, hull is splitting Dear God the fucking ship is sinking I will try to pour all of myself into this life Before I die If I go before my time Then take these words evermore into your life 06. Throes Of Perdition
Blind-folded and gagged, stood waiting
With the whole world: my firing squad At the edge of the world I'm faced out Staring the sun right in the eye Vultures circle above, hyenas mocking the kill Excrement drooling down their chins Atop the cliffs I look down, into the starving Hell-mouth The rabid foam crashes hard on its teeth Their mouth's salivate Fantasizing my gruesome ending This world looks down upon A man who can stand on his own two feet As they're feeding their guns: "ready, aim" They say I'll live, if I die for their cause Living under the rule of fellow Cro-Magnon fool They fear who leads and will kill to stay still Their mouth's salivate Fantasizing my gruesome ending This world looks down upon A man who can stand on his own two feet Without eating from their claws Life feels quite like Hell should But this Hell's so cold Pull another knife out Stick it with rest of them When my back is full Turn me around to face it Such melancholy, burning the stars from skies As we melt, drowning inside their bloodied eyes Hope is ravaged, running from lacerations Sob so heavily, we choke, then we die [Solo: CKB] [Solo: MKH] Die... Life feels quite like Hell should But this Hell's so cold Pull another knife out Stick it with rest of them When my back is full Turn me around to face it Sob so heavily, we choke, then we die 07. He Who Spawned The Furies
The afterbirth has barely dried
When the king of ruling time Comes with a sickle in his hand To devour Devour Descendant of chaos Devour Castrated the father Devour Fearing his overthrow Devour Swallowed his children whole Take your teeth out of me I have just begun to breathe on my own I don't know what this is These eyes can hardly see what is eating me The prisoners rotting in their cells Children of this godless hell Digesting in acidic blood The devoured Devour Descendant of chaos Devour Castrated the father Devour Fearing his overthrow Devour Swallowed his children whole Take your teeth out of me I have just begun to breathe on my own I don't know what this is These eyes can hardly see what is eating me He who spawned the furies Severed the genitals of his father Creating such beauty: the goddess of love But the blood that fell to the ground Made the erinyes [Solo: MKH] He who spawned the furies [Solo: CKB] Wreathed with serpents Eyes dripping blood Winged tormentors of criminals Take your teeth out of me I have just begun to breathe on my own I don't know what this is These eyes can hardly see what is eating me 08. Of Premetheus And The Crucifix
I am the Promethean
Tragic figure in this dream Dream known as life I bring spark into the lives Take the molded, show them fire Fire's the spark in their eyes My flesh is ripped at daily It's the cross I bear I feel it tear out my insides A pain so hard I could collapse I feel it just may kill me I must brave through this storm I am made exemplary Lashed up by the public scene For bearing my heart, my soul's on fire I pull my ribs open now Bleed my heart upon the grounds Drink of the blood, take me in My flesh is ripped at daily It's the cross I bear I feel it tear out my insides A pain so hard I could collapse I feel it just may kill me I must brave through this storm Chain me down, nail me up It feels so cold on my skin Flesh cut deep from their claws Chew my organs out Salivating with hate Crown of thorns, deathly boards; won't Make me cease to be You've turned this scapegoat into The lion that will devour you whole [Solo: CKB] [Solo: MKH] My flesh is ripped at daily It's the cross I bear I feel it tear out my insides A pain so hard I could collapse I feel it just may kill me I must brave through this storm 09. The Calamity
You cannot be, you're the mistake: calamity
Sent to destroy all of the good on this Earth, killing me You're killing me The mother of ruination comes to fuck all Mutilating everything, spread wide open, beckoning Beckoning me Spiral faster down Ripping a hole through the air we breathe An apocalypse Encased in a shell, so beautiful The calamity makes its way to the inside I know we are feeling the same thing The calamity makes its way to the inside To eat away at our existence Spewed from the wound of this life's worst cavity; the Nightmare spreads it's cancerous lamentations, poisoning Force-feed the plague Drunk from the milk of death's overflowing sick tit Nourishing the misery, gives birth to the ugliness That grows inside Spiral faster down Ripping a hole through the air we breathe An apocalypse Encased in a shell, so beautiful The calamity makes its way to the inside I know we are feeling the same thing The calamity makes its way to the inside To eat away at our existence Isolate The heart from the brain Permeate Inject us with pain Holding our breath now We're screaming without sound We're trembling as everything falls completely apart Meteor crash down Come crater our woe out The banishment of everything once alive will start now [Solo: MKH] [Solo: CKB] Holding our breath now We're screaming without sound The banishment of everything once alive will start now You came to be, you're the mistake: calamity Here to destroy all of the good on this Earth, killing all Killing us all Spiral faster down Ripping a hole through the air we breathe An apocalypse Encased in a shell, so beautiful The calamity makes its way to the inside I know we are feeling the same thing The calamity makes its way to the inside To eat away at our existence 10. Like Callisto To A Star In Heaven
Taken forcefully
A thing which never can be Erased by time Since he made you bleed, so violently Painful is the kick Inside it makes you so sick The blood that drips down your thigh Tarnishes virtue; lies Wearing a mask familiar A god forced himself on you Raping and impregnating Causing the exile of your life Changed like Callisto to a star in heaven Hate not the flesh that makes me But seek what lies beneath My flesh and blood will make the stars That shake bones underneath Now a forsaken Ghost in the eyes of her world Banished for all time Since he made you bleed, so violently Painful is the kick Inside it makes you so sick The blood that drips down your thigh Tarnishes virtue; lies Wearing a mask familiar A god forced himself on you Raping and impregnating Causing the exile of your life Changed like Callisto to a star in heaven Hate not the flesh that makes me But seek what lies beneath My flesh and blood will make the stars That shake bones underneath Cast out from the righteous life you loved Vengeance comes down from the skies above To wreak havoc and torment the one Who just gave birth to her true love's son [Solo: MKH] [Solo: CKB] Cursed to roam the Earth alone, a beast Witnesses as her son now fully grown Readied arm to cast a spear, to kill Can't recognize, all he sees is fear Wearing a mask familiar A god forced himself on you Raping and impregnating Causing the exile of your life Hate not the flesh that makes me But seek what lies beneath My flesh and blood will make the stars That shake bones underneath 11. Shogun
Won't walk the Earth a specter
Won't hold my tongue from lashing out This is my writ of honor Drawn by the blood that I have shed The beasts will soon assemble Conjoining in their putrid flesh Their hearts don't beat desire They pump violence and poison Flesh opens up, blood's retreating Flesh opens up, blood's retreating Death's embracing, all is ending Death's embracing, all is ending Time will not heal all of your pain I cannot wait for it all to come crashing Down The monsters walk among us Leeching the blood out from what's good Infecting at transmission Swallowing innocence from life Our time has come to stand forth The wretched womb from which they feed Behold the loathsome demons Send them into the hell they made Flesh opens up, blood's retreating Flesh opens up, blood's retreating Death's embracing, all is ending Death's embracing, all is ending Time will not heal all of your pain I cannot wait for it all to come crashing Down on your face, ripping your veins out Your insides win and kill you from within And the seas will rise as serpents Spawned from the mouth of Earth's surface Soon the skies will fall fast, burning Open wide and eat the suffering The pulse is now quickening Softly, it's painstaking Look within to calm the storm Raging inside the form There's no turning back For I'm witness to the changing Take all you have brought to sacrifice For you will lose much more If you succeed in this battle You still will lose so much more [Solo: MKH] The pulse is now quickening Softly, it's painstaking Look within to calm the storm Raging inside the form There's no turning back For I'm witness to the changing Take all you have brought to sacrifice For you will lose much more If you succeed in this battle You still will lose so much more Time has come to face all evil Now the seas rise up as serpents Spawned from the mouth of Earth's surface As the skies now fall fast burning Open wide and face the suffering [Solo: CKB] The inferno spews out hell's horde Casting the flames upon our world As death eclipses all the light We make our last stand, 'til death: fight [Solo: MKH] Time will not heal all of your pain I cannot wait for it all to come crashing Time will not heal all of your pain I cannot wait for it all to come crashing Down on your face, ripping your veins out Your insides win and kill you from within 12. Poison, The Knife Or The Noose
Don't let this ruin all that I thought that I could be
A life amidst entropy is a fate I refuse to see As the flames lick our feet Coaxing us to make the leap Cerberus drools at the knell Come join the wicked inside Hell Fall fast down from grace, the world tries to make me evil Punished in this corrupt place, life's so fucking medieval As the flames lick our feet Coaxing us to make the leap Cerberus drools at the knell Come join the wicked inside Hell They will try to pull us down But we won't cave in We have something that they can't take We know the truth inside 'Cause I will fight this by all means With poison, the knife or the noose at me Our world Is a minefield With explosives ready to eviscerate the living Sabotage The devious blindfold You're helping cut a hole from here to here below your mouth A battlefield This fucking battle's right here With man killing man we're only fueling our own extinction [solo: MKH] [solo: CKB] Our world Is a minefield With explosives ready to eviscerate the living A battlefield This fucking battle's right here With man killing man we're only fueling our own extinction Die if in apathy your submissiveness their weapon Turn inertia into rage and ram it through like a spear As the flames lick our feet Coaxing us to make the leap Cerberus drools at the knell Come join the wicked inside Hell They will try to pull us down But we won't cave in We have something they can't take We know the truth inside 'Cause I will fight this by all means With poison, the knife or the noose at me 13. Upon The Shores
Wandering endlessly upon the shores
For something that I will never attain Banished here for a life of nothingness My only comfort is the sand I bleed on Hope is gone, it will never be the same All I feel are the repeated stings of pain Pungent stench of the sins of the worthless ones Faithless cries of the sins of the godless ones Marching on in deathly silence Upon the shores we go Crashing tides applaud the violence Upon the shores we go I'm dying endlessly upon the shores For something that I will never attain Tortured here for a life of nothingness My only comfort is the sand I die on Hope is gone, it will never be the same All I feel are the repeated stings of pain Pungent stench of the sins of the worthless ones Faithless cries of the sins of the godless ones Marching on in deathly silence Upon the shores we go Crashing tides applaud the violence Upon the shores we go Charon, is this the fate for me Is the Obolus all I pay Cursed to wander the shores of Acheron My eyes must have been missing silver coins [solo: MKH] Maggots drinking the blood of me Insects licking the tears I weep Hornets piercing, while wasps are breaking Every single fucking inch of skin on me [solo: CKB] Hope is gone, it will never be the same All I feel are the repeated stings of pain Pungent stench of the sins of the worthless ones Faithless cries of the sins of the godless ones Marching on in deathly silence Upon the shores we go Crashing tides applaud the violence Upon the shores we go 14. Iron Maiden
(Iron Maiden cover)
[Verse] Won't you come into my room, I wanna show you all my wares. I just want to see your blood, I just want to stand and stare. See the blood begin to flow as it falls upon the floor. Iron Maiden can't be fought, Iron Maiden can't be sought. [Chorus] Oh Well, wherever, wherever you are, Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far. See the blood flow watching it shed up above my head. Iron Maiden wants you for dead. [Verse] [Chorus] [Verse] [Chorus] Iron Maiden! Yeah! |
