[Instrumental]

Born out of exile
Must I save thee from abolishment
Hence utter chaos must ensue

Nominated Czar
Must I revive what hath dormant lies
Hence your empire now shall fall

[Chorus]
Now among us, he is
Now one of us, he is
The bane of our existence

The eternal ruler
From the dust shall rise
Rise up and destroy (eradicate) us all

Manifestation
O'Mighty wicked serpent of the deep
The betrayer of all
Are we the flock of sheep led to extinction
Or a swarm of locusts who shall prevail

Archetype of foul
Cataclysmic beast of the abyss
Unto thee now shall all you fall

Is it the beacon of hope as deemed to some
Or the coming of apocalyptic scorn

[Chorus x2]

[Solo]

May the stars drop from the heavens
The sun shall transform to black
I shall make the moon cry blood
Usher in the new age of man

[Solo]

[Chorus]

Born out of exile
Must I save thee from abolishment
Hence utter chaos must ensue

Nominated Czar
Must I revive what hath dormant lies
Hence your empire now shall fall

The eternal ruler

Carved out of human flesh
It shall be written with our tainted blood
The gospel of elite reform

Onward to the realm of immortality
The passage from this mortal coil
In death salvation exists

Thorns of Acacia
The threshold that unites the plane of life and death
Merging the paths of the dark and the light

Thorns of Acacia
From the lions mouth shall they depart
Or shall they be enshrined in darkness
Thorns of Acacia

Shall I be forsaken upon the day of judgement
Therefore guard the sacred yew
For death is the path to wonder

Shall I burn in the everlasting fire
Now desolate in black
Growing fears of the end of mankind

Unimaginable horror
Unspeakable suffering
Or just the quiet after the storm

Unparalleled evil
Unification of purity
Or canonised at the end of days

Thorns of Acacia
The threshold that unites the plane of life and death
Merging the paths of the dark and the light

Thorns of Acacia
From the lions mouth shall they depart
Or shall they be enshrined in darkness
Thorns of Acacia

The beast of four heads and ten horns awaits
Is this the insurrection of virtue and man

[Solo]

Carved out of human flesh
It shall be written with our tainted blood
The gospel of elite reform

Onward to the realm of immortality
The passage from this mortal coil
In death salvation exists

Unimaginable horror
Unspeakable suffering
Or just the quiet after the storm

Unparalleled evil
Unification of purity
Or canonised at the end of days

Thorns of Acacia

Haunting abound

Messenger of the word
With vengeance shall you striketh down
Bring forth the world to your knees
Tempter of all that is sacred
Curse and shake the ground upon you
Return from exile, reclaim what once was yours

Haunting abound - From the everlasting flame
Haunting abound - For I shall be known

Ravager of the abyss
Legend of unequalled power
Cast out tribulations amongst mankind
O' engulfing flame
Betrayer of all that is pure
Make all bathe in the blood of atonement

All shall worship him
All shall honour him
All shall praise him
The personification of evil
All shall worship him
All shall honour him
All shall praise him
The beast now has arisen

Emerging out of shadows and the mire
The ghost of the past now awakens
Sound the trumpets of death, signifying rebirth
Unveil the prophetic curse

[Solo]

Haunting abound
Adversary to all that appose
The fallen now has risen
Haunting abound

Haunting abound
You shall attempt to strike me down
Yet I shall bring the arrival of the end
Haunting abound

Haunting abound
Your ominous presence so profound
For the shadow of death shall rise
Haunting abound

Conquer thy rebellion, destroy thy pristine

Bold, I must revel in the obliteration of the monotheist, so called mighty lord
Crush all man, burn down the temple of hope
Persecution of all your saint's ideals

Behold, the end of days awaits
Whilst redemption now is at hand

The art of redemption
The final battle is at hand
Avenge me legions and hordes of abandon
Triumphant in our stand

Confront me tyrant, absolve me messiah
Defy, I shall defy all those whom choose the path of lies
Lies, you cannot hide from nor deny
I cast thee out, out amongst slaves
Slaves amongst thieves, thieves amongst the fray
Amongst the fray may vengeance destroy you all
For victory now is within our grasp

The art of redemption
The final battle is at hand
Avenge me legions and hordes abandon
Triumphant in our stand

The art of redemption
With vengeance we shall command
In discipline we revolt against the tyranny
Defiant in our stand

Path of fury, wrath of many
Insipid and insolent in our ways
Destroy all with pure ferocity
Vindication through annihilation

[Solo]

Redemption, retaliate
Redemption, obliterate
Redemption, annihilate
Redemption, we rule this world

Rise! Open up the skies
Striketh down upon a thousand suns

Rise! By the hand of our maker
Riseth from the ashes of our sins

Fire spirit, once reduced to ashes
Now reborn anew to thrive again
Immortalised, a resurrected spirit
Reveal thyself at the apex of destiny

Benevolent, fierce in its wake
Once consumed in flames, only now to rise again
Extravagant, imperial shape
Essence of divine power
O' mighty scavenger of woe
Brilliant and majestic
With illuminated shine

Mythical one, the dream that never dies
Manifestation of whom now are gone
Legendary, thy bird of prey
Symbolic one, akin to the sun god

Benevolent, fierce in its wake
Once consumed in flames, only now to rise again
Extravagant, imperial shape
Essence of divine power
O' mighty scavenger of woe
Brilliant and majestic
With illuminated shine

[Solo]

Rise! Rise! Rise!
Phoenix amongst the ashes
Rise! Rise! Rise!

Rise! Rise! Rise!
Phoenix amongst the ashes
Rise! Rise! Rise!

Mask incarnate, is it the face of a lost soul
Burial act what has existed for the ages
Effigy of the deceased, enamelled with respect
Momento of the dead, tradition of the funerary rites

Deathveil protector of all spirits
The guardian of all souls
Deathveil enrichen spirits with strength
Thy will that must be done

Masquerade, centuries of infernal pain
Ceremonial interment of the dead
Cloaks amongst men, may the long gowns flow
Disguise of the once forgotten, now only to be remembered

Deathveil protector of all spirits
The guardian of all souls
Deathveil enrichen spirits with strength
Thy will that must be done

Deathveil protector of all spirits
The guardian of all souls
Deathveil enrichen spirits with strength
Thy will that must be done

A reflection of a life they once knew
A cast bound for immortality
Did he meet his demise in exile
Abandoned with no sense of hope

[Solo]

Decades of a life they once knew
True portrait of the genius that is man
Deathveil protector of all spirits
The guardian of all souls
Deathveil enrichen spirits with strength
The face of all things to come

Hatesworn, Hatesworn, Hatesworn, Hatesworn
Hatesworn, Hatesworn, Hatesworn, Hate!

I have journeyed through anguish and pain
Tragedies etched upon my soul
Upon my voyage I've endured adversity
Boils the blood that runneth through my veins

May the blood flow free
Like rivers amidst the great storms
Awaken the calm of still waters
With malice and spite, I am reborn

Of loathsome calling, I now am hatesworn
My disdain, it now engulfs me, I now have become hatesworn

Hatesworn, Hatesworn, Hatesworn, Hatesworn
Hatesworn, Hatesworn, Hatesworn, Hate!

I have travelled through angst and despair
Within the realm of lands condemned
May I embrace sights forseen unknown
Whilst tormented by the wraths of dis

May the blood flow free
Like rivers amidst great storms
Awaken the calm of still waters
With malice and spite I am reborn

Of loathsome calling, I now am hatesworn
My disdain, it now engulfs me, I now have become hatesworn

[Solo]

I shall seek my retribution
Sanctified by the blood of black
By the blood of the heretical son
You shall weep upon your untimely deaths

Almighty winds
Carry us away
Away into the new dawn
Into oblivion

Almighty winds
Sweep us away
Away into a new era
Into oblivion

Lake ablaze, the lake of burning fire
Cast alive into dusk
Deceived by the lie of eternal life
Hence burneth in the lake of flames

Almighty winds
Carry us away
Away into the new dawn
Into oblivion

Almighty winds
Sweep us away
Away into a new era
Into oblivion

Lake ablaze, arose the flames from the furnace
Burning desire of sin
Shall no man cometh before thy throne
Hence burneth in the lake ablaze

Lake ablaze, o' great sea of fire
That dwelleth beneath the Earth
Shall burning embers rise amidst the flames
Rise upon the great clouds of smoke

[Solo]

Cast out asunder into the dark waters
Upon the sect of false prophets
Perished, unto the sea of fire
Transgressions of whom amongst the flesh

Hear my prayers
King of the majestic crown
Grant them eternal rest
Cometh forth
In the name of the dark lord
As the abyss shall swallow them whole

From the sea shall riseth
The titan of all so bold
At the behest of the heavens
In the face of the creator of all
Shall you tremble with fear
While the skies fall upon us
Are you striken with fear
While you burn in complete unrest

Burn!
Burn!
Burn!
Burn!

May thy flame burn strong
May thy flame scorch the skies

I am the winds that blow
Earth shattering waves that ever flow
I am the sun that sets
Upon the vast horizon

May the skies open upon your command
Transfixed, I say unto you
May thy sparrows carry you away
Into the eclipse
Into the eclipse

I am the moon that ever so shines
In death comes rebirth, now granted in time
I am now floating amongst dream woven clouds
Upon the path of the righteous shrouds

Glory be to your memory
May you fear no longer
All shall bow down in awe
Honor bestowed upon your legacy

The fire of resurrection
Void of burden, no regrets
The fire of resurrection

[Solo]

May you decend upon eternal winds
May the birds speak thy name
