[Instrumental]

Addicted to protoplasmic matter
I avail myself do that wide abundance

For I am the creator - they call me god
This naive rattle I just cultivated to quench my thirst
In my laboratory lovely named "earth" - your incubator - you grow and will
Scrutinized and analyzed
And when my work is done I simple pull the plug

I am theory - and practically don't exist
Syntax error - the unknown force of downfall
My name a synonym for terror - my blood the elexier of horror
I sustain all synthetic factors of physical composition

Archieving of all nocturnal phenomenons
The ultimate supervisor of statics - weaver of dimensions

Listen to that voice so mellow - close your eyes and fall asleep
But be on your guard not to go astray in the shades

Back to generation zero - thrashomatic overdrive
Enigmatic origin stain by hidden force
Extinguishing the flame of mortals - systematic termination
Monumental patron of the unhallowed hordes

I sustain all synthetic factors of nocturnal grace

And so we meet here again, old friend - welcome back to your journey's end
Here at the keep of all darkest nights - where the source of your sorrow lies

All your nightmares - only worse - have become bitter truth for your infected mind
And nothing could save you from torture and grind - slowly fading - from your world
No more spring will thaw your frozen heart anymore - forever, forever, not anymore

Uncertain stumbling through the haze - thousand eyes staring at your face
A savage unintortured chase - don't expect any help from grace
How that the gleam of your eyes went out - your frightened glance betrays rising doubt
About what soon is to come for you - bad fate, you can rely onto

Guardians of nightfall, lead me behind - the borders I'm loosing for the peace to find
Never meant to be a sinner in religious ways - "why the hell no one hears my prayers"
Portals of nightfall, open your front - and grand me entrance to the world beyond
But please don't forsake my death - yearning soul -...I hear the demons of embers call

Unbearable the burden gradual becomes - drags me down the maw, and deeper down below
My corpse aglowed a long time ago yet - while passing through the chambers of the dead
There are no words to define all this dismay - nothing you have known is destined to remain
When I made you inhale my toxic breath - for I am the everlasting death

Portals of nightfall, open your front - and grand me entrance to the world beyond
But please don't forsake my death - yearning soul -...I hear the demons of embers call

Just take a look around you my son - and be aware of the shades to come
Then you forget what the bible taught - consolation in rain be sought
So this will be your true fate, old friend - welcome back to your journey's end
Here all the keep of all darkest nights - where the source of your sorrow lies

All your nightmares - only worse - have become bitter truth for your infected mind
And nothing could save you from torture and grind - slowly fading - from your world
No more spring will thaw your frozen heart anymore - forever, forever, not anymore

The smell of poison gas - fills the air
No need to search for death - he will find you there

Soil drained with blood - cities pulverized
Dead bodies twisted - humans carbonized
Bonegrinder - grinding bones - eating them alive
Spitting them out dead - no one will survive

War is the only answer
My gun spreads bullets like cancer

Bombs like rain - day and night - moving out - suicide
Death angels - from the sky - descent from hell - thousands die
Machinegun fire - detonations - rifle rounds - devastation
Grinding bones - artillery shell - draining blood - here is hell

Fire, roaring thunder - will be my coming signs
Planting death and havoc - among the defense lines

Thousand bodies - lay ripped and torn
The sound of cannon fire - roars like thunderstorm

Soil drained with blood - cities pulverized
Dead bodies twisted - humans carbonized
Bonegrinder - grinding bones - eating them alive
Spitting them out dead - no one will survive

War is the only answer
My gun spreads bullets like cancer

I am the Antichrist,
I am divinity,
I am the coming storm,
I am the sun that keeps you warm
I am salvation,
I am the greatest sin,
I am your synthetic god,
I am what dwells within.

You can run and try to hide,
But you will find no shelter
I am the new empire,
Built upon the ashes of the past
So lustful with eyes to see,
Human race a whore to me
Raise some glasses in the sky,
And celebrate the effigy.

Tell me what you deserve - say what you are longing for
Reveal your inmost dreams to me - playing roles in a real world pirace

I am hate
I am greed
I am the voracious
Breed

I am what you are - I am the masterwhore - I am what you want me to be

I make the cities turn to dust and worlds fading into grey
I am the blasting silence in a world full of rust
We live blinded and despised in a pleasure painted paradise
We are the hate we are the greed
We are the voracious breed

Call me punishment and pain I am the prison you are in
My embrace is never ending now be a servant to your pride
Stigmata of this enslavement a world filled with scapegoats
Still trying to reanimate a little bit of self respect

I am the Antichrist,
I am divinity,
I am the coming storm,
I am the sun that keeps you warm
I am salvation,
I am the greatest sin,
I am your synthetic god,
I am what dwells within.


Am I what you are - am I what you want me to be
Are you what I am - do you laugh at my command

Are you what you are - I am salvation - I am the real you
Am I salvation for you too

Burning sign - in the sky - storms rise - on the northern side
Thunder roars - lightning strikes - man the ships - to war we ride

Demons from a place unknown - where evil dwells and dark things grow
By the grace of firegods - assault our land if ice and snow

Written in the prophecy ages ago - the war between fire and snow
Demons unleashed from the darklands core - this time it's war

My heart for the lands of winter
And my sword strikes for the light
For my god I will die
And my fate is the shield of mine
Born in the land of north and here I will die

Sail across the seven seas - that is your destiny
Where great evil reigns - and the oceans meet eternity
The fortress of shadows - in the frozen wasteland
The core of darkness - mankind's fate of is at hand

Of mother of north - hold safety your sons
Oh father of storms - bring us north from here
Hold darkness from us - not death only failure we fear

Sail across the seven seas - that is your destiny
Where great evil reigns - and the oceans meet eternity
The fortress of shadows - in the frozen wasteland
The core of darkness - mankind's fate of is at hand
Sail across the seven seas - through the seven gates of hell
To the forbidden place - where great evil dwells

Moving shades of black - shining eyes of fire
Death hiding in the darkness - and it seems that all our gods have left
Approaching the realm of fire - fighting side by side
Fighting day and night - we will win or we all will die

As crimson colours the sky - where ravens fly
Staring to the sky above - the incoming darkness
And lonely we die

No one who prays for us - no one who cries
We die - to the place where our dead brothers lie

And now the cold grips my heart
I can see them coming
A heart of ice - and the eyes like winter

Not afraid of the coming night - remember where darkness there is a light
A burning flame forever to remain
Just another grave in the cold without a name

Now darkness fills the sky - see the Valkyries fly
A last look to the sky above - we are warriors born to die

In between the wastelands of endless ice and snow
Lays the place abandoned from mankind long ago
Frozen seas of blood - towers built of flesh and bones
And the presence on insanity on the shadows throne
Great evil is dwelling here for ages - high in the lands of frost
Stories turn to legends - and empires fall to dust - the awaking of the ancient is at hand
Spreading the reign of shadows terror - high up in the abandoned land
Moving shadows at the edge of the wood - where twilight found you out there all alone
In the darkness and the freezing cold - and far far away from home
Ages went by in a storm of years - in the wind blasted north
For a time there were rumors to hear - of shadows and the dark things you fear
And beneath a great mountain hidden in darkness a shadow writhed in chains
Eaten by hate to the edge of madness moving figures - playing his games
All figures set - for the final strike leaving me alone against a hundred - this night

So I grab weapon and shield - ready to face my fate - a quick prayer comes over my lips
To those gods up there who left me up there where my brothers a wait
Courage was what my gods honoured - one against hundred
And with all hope lost I engaged into battle
But suddenly wind was rising and turned into a storm - a blizzard of ice and deadly cold
It did me no harm but smashed my enemy and slayed then one by one
And amidst the blizzard I could see moving shadows of my father
And all my brothers I have lost in battle
So my prayers have been heard in this darkest hour my northern gods have returned to me...

Deadly blizzards - beasts of ice - in northern lands - where northmen rise
Blessed by cold - the winteborn - to give your life for your god you've sworn
Your heart for the lands of winter - and your sword strikes for the light
For your god I will die
And my fate is the shield of mine - born in the land of north and here I will die
Ages went by in a storm of years - in the wind blasted north
For a time there was a legend to hear - of a man who fought shadows and the dark things you fear
Once... in the windblasted north...
In between the wastelands of endless ice and snow
Lays the place abandoned from mankind long ago
Great evil is dwelling here for ages - high in the lands of frost
Now stories turn to legends - and empires fall to dust
Once... in the windblasted north...

Atmospheric electric - the hurricane is near
We carry on our soil - to get you all my dear
Heading straight on forward - but never out of sight
An egotrip rebellion - heavy armed delight

Hallowed or just hollow - imprisoned be the will
Maximize the coin machine - mass media overkill
Generation zero - sing for the deaf
Ubiquitous mindlock - always looking for the thrill

Feeding oil to the flames - the quest has just begun
Faster, harder, more and more - implicit faith will make you stun
Our trademark, Mr,Misbehaviour - we don't care whats right or wrong
Lack of common sense - now sanity is gone
Sanity is gone - sowing the wind to harvest the storm
Without any regrets - without any respect
More firepower - on all fronts

We take on everyone - we reconcile with everyone
Sowing the wind to harvest the storm - more firepower on all fronts
Manmade mirage - turning the words
Pull down the trigger - without any regrets

It's feeding time for the beasts of prey
Serving them their favourite meal
Reload your weapon systems - onwards without signs of fatigue
In need of mental values - we're here to gain control
Heading straight on forwards - we erase your thoughts
With methods oh so dirty - when all sex is sold
When all the sex is sold

Feeding oil to the flames - the quest is on the run
Without any regrets - without any respect - this what we have to do
Come on, follow us - we know we are right - without any regrets - we entertain tonight

We entertain tonight

Armies from the gates of hell - creatures breathing ash
Massive rocket impact - as the armies clash
Confronting heavy armed assault - fully armored black
Clashing at our boundaries - there is no turning back

Burning skies - as fire begins to rain
Drowning the world in endless pain - as death comes closing in

Bullet impats cracking bones - seeking for your head
Our defense pounded to the ground - leaving them all dead
Wave by wave comes storming in - there is no end to see
Ankle deep in pools of blood - dead bodies lying next to me

Burning skies - as fire begins to rain
Drowning the world in endless pain - as death comes closing in

In the light of the dying sun - your world falls to peaces
In grinding artillery fire - as pain and damage increases

Bomb explosions - knocking gently on your door
Hear roaring cannon fire - that's the drums of war
That's our art of war

You can run - but never hide
Here death will always find you
Kill efficiency - industrialized
Genocide - mechanized

Firewalls - cremating human flesh
Wardemons - grinding them to death

This morning has been born - without light - dim - forlorn
A severe vault of clouds rushed across the open downs
Black gaunt and eerie tree - skeletons danced dreadfully
Tight in the claws of frost - winter showed it's ghostly host

Artillery combat - flashing cannon fire - deafening sound
Approaching slowly - but unstoppable leaves burned ground

Nervously waiting in wretched ditches laid in ruins
The last instructional orders reached us a few hours ago
Now separated from allied troops assured to come
But there's no more chance to flee from the superior enemy

Hell racing high speed bullet machine gun monotomy
Relinquishing position means to choose suzerainty

Just like an enormous thunderstorm war rules the entire killing zone
Below the scourge of madness and decay that burdensome commands the way

A sudden detonation to my left - fire screams - a ray of heat
Glowing splinters hailing down - cutting through irresistible flesh
A sweetly scented reek turns the air into a sick
Paralyzed breathing we undertook the last offence

Open fire - breaking through the hostile lines
Ravaging internecine assault

Crawling through the mud - terrified of the inevitable end
Our fate uncertain like that of a cutter in a storm
The nameless victims - whose faces are unknown to thee
Buried deep in the noman's land's mass graves

Open fire - breaking through the hostile lines
Ravaging internecine assault

Below the scourge of madness and decay we horribly passed away
