Lies are told and curses laid
Chat that's carried a debt unpaid Web that's woven with a wicked tongue Burn the bridges one by one I've lied and stolen I've given grief A sinner proud I defy belief A needful knife man when your back is turned Painful lessons: what you have learned Yet when your high horse has been brought down And in your own lies you've surely drown Everything becomes quiet clear There can be no hiding from the monster in your mirror 02. The Scovrge Ov Drvnkenness
Ageless demon, a bane to man
Slowly killing all it can Selfish bastard master of drink Violent oppressor vile stink Drunken slave caught in it's grasp Shaking fool dying gasp All your life a web of lies Broken vows bitter cries Drooling wretch falling down Crying wailing like a clown All your life you've cast away A slave to drink you will stay 03. To The Rack With Them
Upon your Judas cradle
Ropes made from your skin Burning scent of incense The aroma of your flesh Burning cauldron of tar You're a fancy self made god Completely bound and tied With a mouth full of shit To the rack with them Broken bones pulled out joints Eyes gouged with hot irons Raped by holy man Agonized pain for hours Burning cauldron of tar You're a fancy self made god Open from gut to neck Rats feast from within To the rack with them To the rack with them 04. Day Of Farewell
I grow tired of this world
I know all there is to know The fruit is bland And the wine is dry Why continue this lie? My day of farewell is nigh I once was a man who loved life To reach forever I'll bring my kin And leave this paradise of sin Today the sun sets on all my days My eyes will shut We will fly away I hold your hand By my side you lay Together forever This farewell day No value in gems No riches to be held No amount of praise Barren is the land As one we embrace Taller than the Lord Step off the world On the wings of tranquility evermore Evermore 05. Castle Of The Devil
Secrets forbidden by the Lord
The Devil provided his work Name of the second son will be his Oh this doomed world will kneel The Sacrifice came undone by this holy doom dog The offering must be made blood of a virgin child For eternal life I gave by his promise But that bastard Kane Goat of Mendes in the mud Father found his true god Wealth and fame upon his land Curse of the wolf now bestowed. The Sacrifice came undone by this holy doom dog The offering must be made blood of a virgin child For eternal life I gave by his promise But that bastard Kane I entangled in the thorns I bore this cross I the hand of the divine On this solemn night I drank the wine That was rotten on the vine Said the whore to the thief But that bastard Kane 06. Coven Of Cain
Twisting through the shadows
We ride the white line dream Through the neon night On another hare brained scheme Shattered mirrors left in our wake Moonlight to guide me And my mind to break Dingo dog howls Blood spills on the ground She wolves encircle You're done for now God below smiles Reaching a new high The cut was golden In ritual you'll die Cove of Cain Worshipers of blow Three sisters confess to the god below Dawn is breaking Feeling a new low Not too impressed with the god below My eyes on fire My pockets broke What a liar Demon coke 07. The Wretch
I've a poison in my veins
Blackened thoughts to bring me down Memory pains to haunt my brain In a maze I'm lost never to be found All the lies I told myself Make the truth so hard to take It burns my mind And takes my heart to break. You took nothing from me In truth I'd nothing to give The poorest man you'll ever see No reason No reason to live I sold my soul so long ago And got nothing in the deal Imagine what a fool I feel As you walked away My hands they went numb And I laughed long at myself For having been so dumb I was a fool to think I'd keep you Down here with me A wretch who's sold his soul Can't hold a bird that's free 08. Iron And Fire
Baptism of flames for nine days
Cleansing of hordes and lowly slaves Remember home, I tame thee by war The mouth of omega, remember whore! By my names the worlds tremble Cleansing of rats Senate made humble Blame these sheep of the Lord Burnt cowering like homeless dogs! Nocturnal beams of art Nailed to crosses Decorate my garden Everything came down 14 years of Iron and Fire I play you a song As you burn to the ground No Man Stood before me All Men Forsake me Mother Betrayer Cut down the tree that spawned me Artist Poet I am dying Blood spent I'm singing Symbol Whore Fertility for the Plebs I am a god My face reflects A million eyes Seen for who I am Blackened hades Golden dove I am forever I am legion Paul Peter Who cursed me Left Dying My beloved Blood Death The price their lamb will pay I Made This world tremble Death Guilt Is so peaceful Bear the curse Of centuries to come I am god My face reflects A million eyes Seen for who I am Poetic Fire Burn Do Your Worst What an artist is dying in me What the world loses with me What is this galloping towards me Kneeling in the lake of fire Under the pale moon comes a rider Burnt black by the sun now I wait This poet takes his own life |
