Gently flowing down the skin, in a pitch-black stream
Honoured as the chosen one, the holy blood I'll spill
In the glow of the candlelight I slowly cast the words,
Forming the invocation and bringing forth world obliteration

In gloom I've watched the shadows dance, guiding me their way
I've walked down the path of obscurity, sinking deeper into it's nocturnal embrace
The blade, the goat and the virgin...
Moanings turning into cries...
And blood shall stain the baphomet as I raise my fist up high

Demons rise... Inhale the black evocation
Materialize... Impale the world of man
Holy ghost be gone... No father, no more son
Ancient souls of wrath, become ...Of flesh and blood

Satan grasp my call and let emptiness be all...
Enshroud the very universe, and lead mankind into their upcoming fall
So I scream for the holocaust from the blackest depths of my heart
And I scream for annihilation... Awakening of the retaliation

World domination!

Darkness - rise, devour me... Ascend now from below
Enveil the vast horizons and drench all light with your everlasting flow
In rapture, pain and solitude, I'll enthrone you with my death
Unleashing your uprising with my final breath

Demons rise... Inhale the black evocation
Materialize... Impale the world of man
Holy ghost be gone... No father, no more son
Ancient souls of wrath, become ...Of flesh and blood

Darkness come forth... In the name of flesh, in the name of blood...

Twilight... Slay the sunset flame...
May dawn be forever drowning within your nocturnal cold embrace
Shatter the seal of heaven and behold the bleeding sky
As fragile wings are burning, let the darkness snatch their souls before they die

Moonlight... Spread your icy chilling glare...
Lit the northern freezing stormwinds, swirling, whining in despair
Cloak the highest mountain, cover the deepest of seas
Surround every verdant forest, supress all those of the living breed... Eternally

Unanimation...
World annihilation...
Hail...
Unanimation...

Searing tears of weeping gods, just like rain from the skies above
Withering to ash as they reach the ground, a soil as dead... As dead as the past

Daylight... No longer will it shine...
Extinct by the vast obscurity, absorbed by the now endless night
Silenced, dethroned, perished... Put out are the rays of the sun
But for the new-born king, Luna, the consuming... The extinction... Has just begun

Unanimation...
World annihilation...
Hail...
Unanimation...

Split-tongued!

Blackened hordes arise! With shadow wings to cross the land
Betrayers of the lord, obscured and dwelling forlorn
Master - inhale the fumes... Grasp their devious call
Satan - speak the words, their serpent tongues screams for war

The utter bringer of darkness...
Kneel before the storm, bow before the one with horns

Ancient tales of the holocaust, the great fall of man
Once foretold by the split-tongued... Now it is at hand
One by one they all fall slained, thrown into the deep sea of red
Season of the split-tongued - the harvest of the dead

Chasm of old, opens wide as brimstone blows
Funerals wind sweeps throughout the world, emerging from the abyssic depths below
Evil - the conquering, consuming of earth
Father - speak the worlds, command the world to...

...Burn ...To mourn, torn... Reformed, ...Again ...And again
...Blood is stained ...Life is drained ...In his name

Ancient tales of the holocaust, the great fall of man
Once foretold by the split-tongued... Now it is at hand
One by one they all fall slained, thrown into the deep sea of red
Season of the split-tongued - the harvest of the dead

Out from ashes, a dark realm's unfold
Foretold by the split-tongued ...Now to behold
Death has been spread, all blood is shed
Due to the split-tongued, mankind is dead

A growing blackness sweeps throughout the night as the darkness rises above
A sphere of obscurity is closing in, behold the dawn of what'll swallow all the light
Winds greet this nocturnal sacrifice and quench the last rays of the sun
Carry the screams of the horrified, enfold the damned and caress their pale skin off the flesh...

The omega rising - emptiness until eternity ends
The omega rising - apocalyptic grand extinction of man

[6-string shriek: Jens Rydén]

Future lost within tranquillity, dissolved into infinity
Ahead lies aeons of oblivion, a world in dwell for all eternity
Flames shall bring this devourment, scorching the landscapes into dust
Firestorms will embrace the universe, condemned to burn within the holocaustal purgatory glow..
In the flames fortold...

Brought herein by winds and flames, now unveiled by doom
The world clad in pernicious black, soon silence is all...
Now hear the sound of our fall

The omega rising - emptiness until eternity ends
The omega rising - apocalyptic grand extinction of man

Whilst darkness chases the light away...
As twilight swallows the sun...
I'm struck by the sweet remembrance of all the lives that I shall ever shun

Where shadows are cast amongst the tombs,
Where daylight's now long gone - I swear to the pale white grinning moon that this is where I belong

A landscape clad in countless graves, a landscape I call home,
Though the lifelessness I'm ought to never be alone
The epitaphs that surrounds me has nothing but increased,
so it is with pride I rest with the deceased

In havoc I welcome you all
I'll rise as others fall
The oath of the dead I have sworn, and forever to be the forlorn...

By the distant chimes of funerals, the sound which I adore
Even after ages of burials, I still long for more
Carried by the wings of doom, on sepulchral winds I ride...
Searching every corner... Or wherever life may hide

The soil that withers beneath my feet shall take me all the way to the point where even oblivion will decay
This silent path will bring me to the very threshold of that gate,
that I shall plunge out through with the burning hate...
That will seal your fate

No more shall the sound of heartbeats plague the ground on which I stand,
As I now silence another breath with the touch of my bare hands
And so I'll stalk all known as living, hunt them like a curse...
Until the day all lies cold on the funeral hearse

I am he who grasp your souls at night,
Harvesting the fields of life with the cold touch of my scythe
I am your final breath... The reaper of your flesh... As in this world I am known as death

In havoc I welcome you all
I'll rise as others fall
The oath of the dead I have sworn, and forever to be the forlorn...
The coffinborn

The mist of restless spirits lies thick here in under... Below...
A cavern clad in the fog of souls - in agony they howl
A breeze of ashes sweeps through my face, tonight I'll ride these winds
For this is the price... The price I'll pay for all my sins...

The gate stands open before me and so I'll fall into this domain,
And with a smile I'm now up to be purified by endless pain
The caress of flames enlightens me... No, this is nothing i fear...
No! I was born for burning and finally I'm here!

Engulfed in hellfire
Within this burning empire I'll find my deepest desire
Engulfed in hellfire

Engulfed in hellfire
Within this burning empire I'll find my deepest desire
Engulfed in hellfire

In ecstasy and laughter I am scorched again and again
Perished inside this inferno, my blasphemies weren't in vain...
If the soul's eternal... And forever to be... I am not quite sure,
But so I hope 'cause of this hell I just want more and more

Engulfed in hellfire
Within this burning empire I'll find my deepest desire
Engulfed in hellfire

Horror chills through angelspines, and weakened halos fade
Descendance of the shadow's near, with it's retribution blade

Vengeance... I'll laugh at all of their fears,
The sound of crying angels is like music to my ears
One by one defeathered, shattered wings shall clad the sky
No remorse will hit me, I'll shed no tears as I sentence them all to die

Doves of heaven, lambs of christ... I shall snatch you all
Once here in down under, none will hear your call

Now you shall burn... Burn in the endless fires of hell
You will burn... In neverending pain

The hate that flows within these veins shall I no more restrain
I clench both my fists in detest as my fury becomes their pain
Angels maimed, dismembered... I still hear their helpless cries
Lifeless, cold and crimson... Nothing but sweet silence now herein lies

Now you shall burn... Burn in the endless fires of hell
You will burn... In neverending pain

Swarm through the night... Into blackened skies... Out of the evening mist...

Spawned throughout the sins and the suffering, into hungering for blood of the weak
Concealed oppressive urge, through underworld he's bound to seek
Uprising fallen king, dethroned by the ones who'll bleed
Vengeance thrown upon them, injected by his seed

Rise - Satan... Spread your wings... Out of the evening mist...

Out from the pits of the underworld, out from dominions of coal
Out from abysmal spheres of whirling souls - rise above
Out from ancient subterranean chambers of below
Out from wherein purgatorium glows - rise above

Rise above!

Retribute - seal the fate, plunge through the nocturnal gate
Ascendance of unholiness, malice now awake
Fear him, you crucified one, bow your head and crawl
No time left for mercy... Soon the night shall fall

Rise - Satan... Spread your wings... Out of the evening mist...

Out from the pits of the underworld, out from dominions of coal
Out from abysmal spheres of whirling souls - rise above
Out from ancient subterranean chambers of below
Out from wherein purgatorium glows - rise above

Coronation of the beast
Havoc upon earth unleashed
Father, dark one, master - arise... Into where your kingdom lies...

Swarm through the night... Into the blackened skies... Out of the evening mist...

Under the arc of a weather stain boards
Ancient goblins, and warlords
Come out of the ground, not making a sound
The smell of death is all around

And the night when the cold wind blows, no one cares, nobody knows

I don't want to be buried in a pet cemetary
I don't want to live my life again
I don't want to be buried in a pet cemetary
I don't want to live my life again

Follow Victor to the sacred place
This ain't a dream, I can't escape
Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones
Spirits moaning among the tombstones
And the night, when the moon is bright
Someone cries, something ain't right

I don't want to be buried in a pet cemetary
I don't want to live my life again
I don't want to be buried in a pet cemetary
I don't want to live my life again

The moon is full, the air is still
All of a sudden I feel a chill
Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away
Skeletons dance, I curse this day
And the night when the wolves cry out
Listen close and you can hear me shout

I don't want to be buried in a pet cemetary
I don't want to live my life again
I don't want to be buried in a pet cemetary
I don't want to live my life again

Oh no...

World wide war!

Revelation conspiracy, a retribution malign
The consequence of divinity has now burst into inpurity

Bury the days of the orthodox, entomb the lies of the cross
Impale the icons of holy faith, disarm the light - invert day into night

Ten commandments ablaze, behold their temples fall within the burning, dying reign
Declaration, set the palest of dove in flames - world wide war
World wide war

Children of the realm above - inhale the ashes of your fall
Embrace the fate, sink into the black, absorb the slumber of your destiny

Ten commandments ablaze, behold their temples fall within the burning, dying reign
Blasphemy, clad the world with obscurity, infernally, enter nocturnal supremacy, eternally, infinity, arise - purgatory

The white flag's rising, but all in vain, outnumbered frontlines pushed back and drained
The sound of retreat drenched in bloodcurling screams,
Forever shattered are those peaceful dreams
Now, taste the victory, an era i darkness enthroned
Triumph engraved in pitch-black soil, his glory interred with the guts of all angels beyond

World wide war
World wide war
