02. Preludium To Darkness

Ancient world in time long perished
He awakes into another possessed day
Evil spreads before him
As his eyes dress day in night
Shrilling sound killed another silence
In the vast emptiness of the wilderness
Where seraphs rot and lay

Hovel stands in this place to mortals unknown
Secret engravings he makes every day

He lights up three candles, the fire glows in his eyes
Opens the door and lays seven symbols on the doorway
He is the murderer, the redeemer
He will take our sins, the great deceiver

This is the day of the conqueror
Angels turn to stone, ravens blacken the sky
The mighty hammer upon the enemies
Embrace my scarred soul? Rip out my heart?
Make me immortal

Countless times has he failed
But never gave up?
Countless times has he cut his chest
To watch the blood stream down?
To ease the pain? To feel the hate?
To kill this fear he has no more but one

Grim years have passed since his beginning
The lust grew stronger
The hate felt colder? (don't you agree?)
The need was bigger

This is the day of the conqueror
Angels turn to stone, ravens blacken the sky
The mighty hammer upon the enemies
Embrace my scarred soul? Rip out my heart?
Make me immortal

He lights up three candles, the fire glows in his eyes
Opens the door and lays seven symbols on the doorway
He is the murderer, the redeemer
He will take our sins, the great deceiver

"Now I am ready"

03. Heretic

He stares through the doorway
As he crouches down on the floor
Slowly closing his eyes
The preparation has begun
Meditation? Mind the key element
The greatest secret hidden away

Sight lost on the way?

Motionless he sits like a king on his throne
Master of time and place, controller of the universe

Ice cold breeze blows when he exhales
As if old spirits tried to tear out his soul
He is pinned with chains to the flesh

The moon murdered the sun
And summoned the night
Candles illuminate the room
Cutting his silhouette on radiant wall
Eyes open slowly with blood drifting tears
Came back from the ravaged place of life

He stands up in calmness
You could see emptiness and infinity
If you looked in his eyes
Everything turning to dust what his mind can see
Why don't you look at him?
Can you see at all?

Master of time and place
Controller of the universe
Gatherer of knowledge

Will you go with him?
The clouded mind pulling his vision
Of ruling the earth with the mythical figure

04. A Visit From The Lost Palace

Once again the serpent and slave
Brought him the time for his curse to unleash

You can see bloodthirsty creatures
Running and hiding in the darkest caves
No human eye can see
Their fight for the places?
Tearing each other...
The snarling and squealing is spreading with hellish like tone

They tremble before this night?
They fear of it? As they enter the caves blooded in red

Something is lurking from realms unknown
Something is leaving the palace of doom
Funeral sirens? Suffocated scream?

He picks up strange cane from a sleep on the floor
The eighth symbol and most uncontrollable one
He lifts it up and points it at candles
Chanting words on consecrated ground
Forming the sign of disorder and darkness
Opening gates to another dimension
"Abbadon my beast, give Thy unholy powers to me"

Something is lurking from realms unknown
Something is leaving the palace of doom
Funeral sirens? Suffocated scream?

Ravens emerge with this eternal night
They fall down from sky
One by one
Their eyes disappear? Their bodies unite

From ravens is forming an image
Malignant, obscure and repelling
He knows the creature, though the image is dim

His maker has left from realms unknown
His maker has left the palace of doom
The morbid life has now greeted him

05. Rendezvous With Destiny

He stands in the doorway
Merely a sculpture of ice
Obliterated by his own fear
His evil possession, domination
Are choked on the neck of the inferior pig

Mesmerizing creature stands looking at him
Torn long cape covering Its disgusting odor
Face resting in front the wall of sleep

It slowly starts moving but he stands still
His only fear has raped him within
Slender figure is passing out of sight
Coming forth his soul greets Death warm

He collapses on the floor
Knowing he can not escape
From the blade of the collector
Hunter of shadows

There is no heart?. Just an eternal circle
There is no blood left to bleed
There is no life only immortality
Countless souls holding the shape of Its cape

Oh sinners and your blasphemy face
Kneel for your fear and give yourself to me
What is your infernal vision?
Rise and take thorns of from a rose

Countless souls holding the shape of Its cape

There is no heart?. Just an eternal circle
There is no blood left to bleed
There is no life only immortality
The lonesome wayfarer
Wearing the mark of the Reaper

06. Awakening Of Millenniums

The superior being of all
Sleeping behind the shadows
Symbol of condemned
Waiting for time to call Thy name

Hearing the call never heard aeons
Chanting words from the distant land
?Wretched human?
Grasp all ground under the sky

Dominions haste to surface
The Lord has awoken for now it's the time
Horde of fallen angels and demons
Our Lord is returning to feast on our sins
The sign has come to conquer the world

Disorder and chaos return to the land
Spiritual renegades on the edge of the cliff
Decapitated reason, man-slaughtered creation
Freedom our outlaw where are we to run?
Misguided preachers, our twisted truth
Sparks for Thy fuel to ignite

The sound of the horn on the great mountain above
Has announced the coming of legion on earth
The beast rides from the bottomless pit on the back of damnation
Usurper of everything? Misanthrope

07. Journey Towards Reality

Star descends from the sky
Armageddon to kiss the fiery ground
Nephilim gather at the point of resurrection
To welcome the father? To greet the pest age

Desert land opens before Its arrival
Smoke rises high and darkens the light
Up from the smoke come demonic creations
With true crowns of gold and sharp razor teeth

The air is starting to rot around the warlock
The Reaper has stopped from its only intention
It feels the power of the Unholiness
Rising with shadows before his sight

Unhallowed creation? The shape of the King
Unhallowed creation? Nocturnal adoration

The Reaper has vanished from the almighty King
It dares not to mangle the beast
It dares not to taste the ultimate sin
It dares not to invoke the dark side
It has seen what powers lay there within

The warlock victoriously rise from the floor
He escaped from the claws of Death

Warlock's hands rise up to the sky
As he turns around his mind draws back in fear
As he sees the Lord of this land
The vision of Abaddon glows
As fire deep in his eyes

Unhallowed creation? The shape of the King
Unhallowed creation? Nocturnal adoration

08. The Crack Of Dusk

When time no longer exists
When humanity count their last second
Where all the greed and all the vengeance
Count as nothing? Nothing at all

It is here where our shell turns to dust
And our soul departs free
Nailed to the cross!

Warlock's flesh drops on the ground
Spirits feast on his soul once again
So beautiful? So hypnotizing?.
Once we were all like that? Children of God
If one must create one must destroy in order to create again
We are all useless creations left in between

Underworld is marching from the abyss
With black fist of fury they come to land of sin

Technological outbreak, nuclear devastation,
Machinegun artillery, physical endurance
Warfare of an inferior race

Spiritual leaders, misguided preachers
Non believers, true believers
Slaughtered one after one with no remorse
Evil is rising in all its glory
Abaddon grabbing his pieces of kingdom

It is here where our shells turn to dust
And our souls depart free
Nailed to the cross!

The war lasted for five months and not a day more
Mankind vanished with a light breeze over the mountain
Rivers of blood forming an ocean
Last portion of light escaped from this world
As first war ends with a dominant force

09. Grey Hounds Of Heaven

Whole world has been embraced
By cloak of darkness
Its grip so firm and strong
It started to pour with the blackness of the universe

The wheel started to spin stronger for south
It grew stronger and stronger
As armies gather around the immortal King
The shape-shifter

Every grace forbidden and long forgotten
Earth has sinned, earth is bathing in sin now
Hatred, sin, blasphemy, maltreat
Blinded God's eyes, he can not see them now
He can't control them anymore
Heaven! Betrayed God is

Fallen seraphs have arisen from the depths
Now they are awaiting the day of reckoning
To pave their way in front the gates of heaven
To destroy the sacred ground? Resting place

South and north will collide
As they all prepare for the battle of battles

Destroyer!
Destroyer!

Inside the web of lies
Our seed once grew in vain

10. Subterranean Harvester Begins

And so Abaddon has arisen from the pit
He brought orchids with grotesque
Silently the smile fainted in our souls
Rivers could not bear the weight of mud anymore
Serve to divine to protect your wealth
Serve to supremacy to maintain your simplicity

And what do you see now?
Something beautiful, the promised land?
Hey God what did you mean?
Worship you is the ultimate sin

Now that is a true relief
Your relentless pressure on stupid humanity
To blind their eyes from realization
I smile behind your back
and I put poison in your drink?
?A little more than you put in mine

Flood 'em all, revive again
I feel for your sick world
Flood 'em all, revive again
I burn in flames with you

How does it feel to take your love away?
All in all we are the same, oh beautiful divine
I learned to see the dark, to whisper in its ears
I learned to caress the corpse and welcome all its frost
I learned to respect the silence and hear all its words
I learned to accept the hate you served me on a plate

Here I welcome you
Where ashes clear the sky
Here I hold in front of you
The key that greeted me
