Tracks



02. Blooming Blades

Bloody mirror of retribution, evil spirits bound
Countless souls in the underworld there's no way out
They Trade their sins for the frigid wind and a carving sound

Blades call for native enmity
Burning Liberty refined
Blades call for native enmity
Building ethnic soul with pride
Set your fear aside
Iron trees and a mountain of knives

Hatred Blades, venom thorns
Tongue-ripped phantoms face the Ghost King rampage

Bloody mirror of retribution, evil spirits rage
Countless souls in the underworld cry out in flames
They scream in vain from Injustice Reign, their fate is all the same

Blades call for native enmity
Burning Liberty refined
Blades call for native enmity
Building ethnic soul with pride
Set your fear aside
Iron trees and a mountain of knives

Hatred Blades, venom thorns
Tongue-ripped phantoms face the Ghost King rampage

Unchangeable evil machine, unthinkable evil they dream
Unchangeable evil machine, unthinkable evil they dream

Blades call for native enmity
Burning Liberty refined
Blades call for native enmity
Building ethnic soul with pride
Set your fear aside
Iron trees and a mountain of knives

Hatred Blades, venom thorns
Tongue-ripped phantoms face the Ghost King rampage

03. Hearts Condemned

Supreme power leads the way
Ghost King holds the Book of Life and Death
Supreme power leads the way
With his pen in hand, he takes away their breath

Evil tyrant smiles covered by the dust
Blazing cannons light the sky
Bloodthirsty legions unholy lust
By chilling wind their flags will fly

Supreme power leads the way
His heart was black with every sinner's pain
Supreme power leads the way
Those names were carved when injustice reigned

Evil tyrant smiles covered by the dust
Blazing cannons light the sky
Bloodthirsty legions unholy lust
By chilling wind their flags will fly

Upon the Mirror million corpses fall,
souls of bitterness filled the halls
Guards and ghost troops dread in hell,
deadly ambiance putrid smell
No day no night not even twilight
Ghost King laughs as hell resides
Tsing-guam, young medium behold,
traverse the Underworld alone

In the Book of Life and Death
Their names are all condemned

04. Venom In My Veins

Beyond the River of quicksand
with ghost troops underground
the pounding drums of hatred
unholy evil sound

Venom starts to boil inside my veins
As tortured distant screams drive me insane
Venom start to boil inside my veins
We will have revenge and rise again

Monsters tread with bloody hooves on rocky roads to nowhere.
They penetrate the freezing cold with poison breath.
Demon bulls, Ghost king possessed, when dark red eyes start to stare.
Rotting flesh ripped from their bones, death virus spreads.

Ghost troops scattered
Wicked beast attacked
Tsing's power shattered
Wicked beasts were hacked

Monsters tread with bloody hooves on rocky roads to nowhere.
They penetrate the freezing cold with poison breath.
Demon bulls, Ghost king possessed, when dark red eyes start to stare.
Rotting flesh ripped from their bones, death virus spreads.

Venom starts to boil inside my veins
As tortured distant screams drive me insane
Venom start to boil inside my veins
We will have revenge and rise again

Venom starts to boil inside my veins

05. The Aroused

Rush across the erodent Dark Cloud Desert
Dodge between the Flaming Black Rope Fetters
Tolerate the offensive Screaming Tortures
Fall straight down into the Iron Web Layers

Faces scraping, eyes gouging, poison feeding, teeth prying
Brains crushing, maggots digging, bones ripping, heads smashing

The ghost troops have failed to tie Tsing-guan down
Powered by hate, he'll leave them spellbound

Bellies slashing, ribs poking
Backs breaking, tendons splitting
Hands burning, knees slamming
Feet cracking, bowels twisting

The ghost troops march on
As Sing-Ling Temple shakes
Down in the cellar; Tsing-guan's spirit fades

06. Sing-Ling Temple

Lightening strikes upon sing-ling temple tonight
Brutal tyrant's soldiers killing with delight

Oo-gu-lam is filled with blood and filth
Ghostly smoke outlines the bodies' killed

Lightening strikes upon sing-ling temple tonight
Brutal tyrant's soldiers killing with delight

For hundreds of years they were slaves to their fear
The tyrants have come to make life disappear
Tsing-guan has the power to bring them all back
But the spirits are planning a vicious attack

Tears fall from the guardian lion
Tears of freedom, tears of a nation

The spirits dance upon Sing-ling Temple tonight
Led by evil wizards under the moonlight

Oo-gu-lam's engulfed in burning flames
The island's sky will never be the same

The spirits chant upon Sing-ling Temple tonight
Led by evil wizards under the moonlight

The temple is covered by the potent seals of hell
Tsing-guan's power is tied up by the spells
The tyrants have won but they've only just begun
Terror was born by the pale white sun

Terror was born by the pale white sun

08. Forty Nine Theurgy Chains

He made it through the Festering Iceberg
Now he shakes for something else
Unrelieved burden, unrelieved anger, unrelieved hermetic theurgy chains
Unrelieved trauma, unrelieved terror, unrelieved hermetic theurgy chains
He broke right through the courts of hell to erase the names where Ghost Kings dwell
His soul was sucked back by the spells that night they came
Wizards lashing their flaming reins
Sanctioned forty-nine theurgy chains
Tie me in chaos, bind me in pain,
Sanctioned forty-nine theurgy chains
He made it through the Bleeding Volcano
Now hes burned by something else
Unrelieved torture, unrelieved sorrow, unrelieved hermetic theurgy chains
Unrelieved hatred, unrelieved malice, unrelieved hermetic theurgy chains
He broke right through the courts of hell to erase the names where Ghost Kings dwell
His soul was sucked back by the spells that night they came
Wizards lashing their flaming reins
Sanctioned forty-nine theurgy chains
Tie me in chaos, bind me in pain,
Sanctioned forty-nine theurgy chains
The tyrants genocide
Drives me to suicide
The tyrants genocide
Drives me to suicide

09. Rise Of The Shadows

Axes swinging, tridents crashing
The demons are born from their furious smashing
Spirits steaming, corpses braising
The monsters will feed when the fires are blazing

The Eternal Wheel of Reincarnation is cracked by a soul and spinning in vain
On the Mirror of Retribution, shadows of the intruder rise again

Axes swinging, tridents crashing
The demons are born from their furious smashing
Spirits steaming, corpses braising
The monsters will feed when the fires are blazing

On the Mirror of Retribution
Shadows of the intruder rise again

Across the Oblivion, through Hot Suffocation
The Final Punishment is his destination

His retaliation would bring satisfaction
A flagrant violation of hell domination
Across the Oblivion, through Hot Suffocation
The Final Punishment is his destination

Transform the Goddess into Charred Face Ghost King
Guan Yim, the most brutal of all
Tsing-guan is weak and broken down from all the suffering
Deeper into Hong-do he falls

The march of ghost troops, the drums of hate

The march of ghost troops, the drums of hate
Deep down in Hong-do, ten Ghost Kings await

10. Bloody Waves Of Sorrow

Waxing, waning
The moons transform with the greatest of ease
Now there is nothing left but misery
They sealed their destiny

Demon bulls, toxic hornets
Hungry wolves and filthy rats
Hell's creatures thronged to Hong-do
They joined the final combat

Break out, massive attacks
Knocked down, no going back

Waxing, waning
The moons transform with the greatest of ease
Now there is nothing left but misery
They sealed their destiny

Through six eyes on his charred black face
Guan-yim, his wrath released
Ten Ghost Kings see everything
Their fury won't be ceased

Break out, massive attacks
Knocked down, no going back

Defeated
He fell into the infernal ocean of blood
The shores fill up with corpses
An abnormal morbid flood

Louder and louder;
He hears the cries of his people that died
Over and over;
He feels their pain as red waves collide

He hears their cries
Red waves collide

Still flaming
The infernal nine suns of the damned
Rise up to the sky
They burn with a nuclear hatred
Destroying his hope and scorching his eyes

Louder and louder;
He hears the cries of his people that died
Over and over;
He feels their pain as red waves collide

He hears their cries
Red waves collide

He hears their cries
Red waves collide

11. Spell Of Setting Sun: Mirror Of Retribution

Chained and shackled to the Mirror of Retribution
They tied up tsing-guan's lonely soul
with void and mass confusion

The book of life and death is closed:
Wheel of reincarnation recessed
the ten courts of hell exposed, only dead silence is left.

Trapped in this place,
For hundreds of millions of years, the ultimate fear, without a trace,
His motherland disappeared.
The world disappeared

12. Unlimited Taiwan

Limited vision, limited union
Unlimited division, unlimited illusion
Limited freedom, limited right
Unlimited island, unlimited fight

Our hearts are pounding with a heavy beat
The rights of millions lay at your feet
A society marching needs true justice
A world like this needs true union

Limited vision, limited union
Unlimited division, unlimited illusion
Limited freedom, limited right
Unlimited island, unlimited fight

We have the land, the strength, the power
Rise up, overcome, take it over
Ignored too long, we became stronger
Tear down the walls and let us run over

Limited vision, limited union
Unlimited division, unlimited illusion
Limited freedom, limited right
Unlimited island, unlimited fight
Limited freedom
