Immolation - Stepping On Angels... Before Dawn lyrics



Tracks



01. Relentless Torment

City in fear, tyrannical king
Rules by the dark side, terror he brings
Darkness has settled
Streets are all clear
Night guards are watching, your living in fear
Break the reign of the tyrants
We must form an alliance
Withstand the king and show defiance
Time has come for deathly violence
Rebellions the talk, amongst the crowd
Better keep quiet, don't talk too loud

He rules from the throne, castle on the hill
All who oppose are tortured and killed

[Chorus]
Relentless torment time to rebel
Overthrow the king
Break away from his hell Ignorant fools, can't you all see
Unite and destroy and we'll all be set free

02. Holocaust

A mushroom cloud in the distance
Marks the end of your existence
A matter of seconds to destroy all nations
The end is here annihilation

Lighting the fuse for spontaneous combustion
Missiles are launched to bring forth destruction
Mutated creatures roaming the wasteland
Kill all survivors dying by their hand

Hundreds of years to recover and rebuild
Cause everything's wiped out and everyone's been killed
Survive nuclear winter and the holocaust
Your old life is gone, everything's been lost

Nuclear blast, death is fast
Billions killed, feel the chil
lTotal death, in peace you rest
Obliterate, a world of hate

Go through the desert elude the acid rain
Mutants embark on their tyrannous reign
Furious battleground for mutants and humans
Fight in the wreckage, fight in the ruins

03. Rigor Mortis

You're dying but you're still alive
Slow gradual decay
Doused with chemicals forever your cursed
To walk the earth as undead

Eating the brains the way to endure
The painfulness of death
Stiffening of your muscles
But you cannot die

Rigor mortis, settles in
Rotting corpse, blackened skin
Decayed bones, rotten flesh
Rigor Mortis, after death

But you are still a corpse beneath the earth
Rancid souls await rebirth
Acid rain brings them to lifedestiny of strife

Lurking in the streets
Your flesh they need to eat
Feel the horrid chil
Knowing they can't be killed

04. Warriors Of Doom

Warriors of Satan's wrath
Come from across the sky
Bring terror and destruction
The son of God must die
Devastation of your gods
The heavens are on fire
Unholy blasphemy from hell
Satan our new messiah

Burn the church to the ground
Hear the helpless dying sounds
Of the Christians who scream and writhe in pain
Feeling the wrath of Satan's reign

Final war has come to an end
Blood fills the land where you lie
Sacrifice on the altar of death
Satan laughs as you die

Legions of doom will rid the world
Of all it's sanity
Your feeble prayers are all in vainIn this insanity

05. Immolation

Feast on the flesh of innocents killed
A sacrifice to our Lord
A sign from below to slaughter and kill
All in the name of hell
A cycle of fury that starts in Hell
And ends with the race of man
Our blood seeps deep into the soils of the earth
Feeding the evil within
Religious fool, cry to your savior
Bargain with your sins
The efforts of God proven useless
Immolation now begins

Disemboweled... Desecrate
Death divine... Morbid fate
Creeping pestilence... Spreads with hate

Horrid cries of agony and pain Butchered beyond reason
Our corpses are left in heaps of blood, Piled up in the heavens
Impotent redeemer falls from Heaven's Grace
An idol no more
King of Hell reclaims his throne
Barbaric in his bliss
Holy priest, hold high your cross
Our fate you try to save
Pawns of death rejoice in glory
Lead us to our graves...

Dogma crumbles... Carnage is cast
Misery plagues... Forgotten our past
Wrath of Hell... Forever will last

Heaven defied, Christ denied
Evil desire, We'll burn in fire
Die in the pentagram
Where you'll be slaughtered
Immolate your soul in the name of...

06. Dawn Of Possession

Awaiting messiah
To save us from sin
A second hope, His reign begins
Born of virgin, To conquer mankind
Deity from Hell, Satan Divine...

Christ possessed, I am born...

Twist of scripture
Christ possessed
Come forth with wrath
Evil obsessed
Hatred and war
Sadistic spell
Swallows the earth
Thanks be to Hell

Christ possessed, The dawn has come...

Praise the day the Christ child is born
Born of woman, to evil he's sworn
To rule mankind like no other before
Unholy throne, Christ above

Arise in flames... I am born
I ride with fury... I rule with scorn
Evil will conquer... And forever will be
Bleed in pain... Kneel to mesinned, Their blackened hearts ripped from thief chests
Forgiving God, exalted high
"Pease forgive our sins!"...

Into Everlasting Fire

Blessed in life, flourish in death
Children of God... destitute
Embrace of love... loses hold
Bond of trust... misconceived
Tears erupt... fall to hell
Caressed by fear... We die as one

Mourners of a dying world
To late to reconcile
Into Everlasting Fire
Can't you see it's Satan's world

07. Internal Decadence

Digression to an unknown fear, mortified, Souls embraced in a darkened grasp, path to hell, Infiltrate the weakened mind, succumb to death, Waste away, convulse in pain, dissolve within...

Twisted brain decays, Abstract world of pain, Anguish of the mind, Tortured afterlife

Bodily entombed... Beckons internal grave, Paralyzed with fear... Internal Decadence

Submit to parasitic thoughts, drown in a mental haze, Extraction from reality, feelings now devoured, Dimension in hell, rotting mind, wastes away, Desire life, fade away, suffer endlessly...

Exiled from sanity... Never to return
Mental paralysis... Internal Decadence

Noble ones perverse, Fulfillment of their lusts, seeking innocence, to satiate their needs, Children for their pleasure, abducted from the world, adopted into hell, punished for their births...
(Circle of ) maniacs

Rules of their existence, insane immoral laws, desires are forbidden, lusting for their flesh, sickened evil minds, manipulate to death, one hundred and twenty days, Sodom redefined...
(Circle of) excrement

Kneel down before the lords and taste the filth awaiting you, A noble feast for those enslaved, enticing vows of defilement
Unholy palace of perversion, embellished with depravity, Embrace your life, for now it slips away
(Circle of) blood

Commencement of their final trial, upon their final day, trembling naked figures slowly marched into the courtyard, tender flesh is seared and ripped, tides of blood released

The masters watch in ecstasy the orgies of the damned... A sacred ground of tragic deaths

08. Burial Ground

War has evolved, in a world bound for death, trails of blood, lead to our corpses, liquids of life, have taken to the earth...

Man Destroying Man...

Mankind, a corpse, with man's insanity
The earth now a burial ground, destroying humanity, A world made of shit! now in endless pain...

Man Destroying the Earth!
Man Destroying Man

09. Despondent Souls

Slaughtering the innocent
Massacring the weak
Intimidate their fearful minds
Corrupt the structured world
Afflict with terror, their lives suppressed
Consuming all their hopes Expurgate their thoughts
oppressing all,
Nauseate with fright
Hollowed shells of living corpses Pay homage to their art, Frail and weak, despondent souls,
Are prematurely dead...

Cherished hoped beyond your grasp
Trepidation grows within
Time exists to test your brain
Tormenting fast our sanity
Dormant lives are cast aside
Evil slaughter, vile and sick
...Feel the pain!

Deep below... Damp and cold
Chambers filled... With rotting dead
Sealed together... Cryptic cells
Twisted corpses... In a mangled grave
Maggots grow... Dee inside
Multiply... Savored feast
Concealed to all... Unknown their fate

10. Infectious Blood

Later renamed "Fall in Disease"

Miles away the dead are left
Quaranteined contain the death
Brought to man a gift from Hell
Infectous blood devours all

Filtered through your blood it flows
Your icy corpse frozen glance
Rapid spreading unrelenting plague
We're sucked into its realm

Chorus:
Infected flesh... Peels

Falls to the ground... Rots
Rots in the heat... Burns
Burns away

Vomit blood into your hands
Hemorrhaging internally
Organs breaking through your skin
Slow decay from within

Silent screams are never heard
Echo through the fields of dead
Doomed to face a painful end
Alone to die where you fall

Bodies now are thrown
Onto a pile decay
A common grave for all
Infect the populace
All behold the dead
Rest eternally
Now condemned to die
Eradicates our race

Ablaze in fire corpses burn
Upon a mound of flesh
Cleansed in flames this rampant plague
Crimson blood so pure

[Chorus]

11. Despondent Souls

Slaughtering the innocent
Massacring the weak

Intimidating their fearful minds
Corrupt all their hopes

Expurgate their thoughts oppressing all
Nauseate with fright

Hallowed shells of living corpses
Pay homage to their art

Frail and weak despondent souls
Are prematuely dead...

[Chorus]
Cherished hopes beyond your gasp
Trepidation grows within
Time exists to test your brain
Tormenting fast your sanity
Dormant lives are cast aside
Evil slaughter vile and sick
...Fell the pain!

Deep below... Damp and cold
Chambers filled... With rotting dead
Sealed together... Cryptic cells
Twisted corpses... In a mangled grave
Maggots grow... Deep inside
Multiply... Savored feast
Concealed to all... Unknown their fate
Plea for life... Their cries obscure

(repeat first verse)

[Chorus]
