01. In The Name Of God

"Since man cannot live without miracles, he will provide himself with the miracles of his own making. He
will believe in any kind of deity eventhough he may otherwise be a heretic, an atheist, and a rebel" [-
Fyodor Dostoyevsky]

Flames
in the age of hell
in the age of fire

War
in the name of God
in the holy empire

Burn the witch in pyre.

Death
in the name of God
in the name of fire

Love
for the grace of God
for the saints for liars

Fire
in the name of Lord
to impure desire

Lord
you the greatest one
blow up the pyre

"O Lord our God, help us to tear their bodies to bloody shreds with our shell. Help us to drown the
thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded." [- Mark Twain]

In the name of God
in the name of fire

For an endless life
in the holy empire

In the name of hell
your soul inquires

The warmth on my face
is the hot of fire

Death
in the name of God
in the name of fire

Love
for the grace of God
for the saints for liars

Fire
in the name of Lord
to impure desire

Lord
you the greatest one
blow up the pyre

"The world itself is the will to power - and nothing else! And you yourself are the will to power - and
nothing else!" [- Friedrich Nietzsche]

02. Ветры злые (Vetry Zlye)

Pray, for the earth for the forest for the fire
Call all the spirits of the globe and desire
All power that comes from within

Ветры злые, чертоги лесные,
Недра скал и гладь морей.
Лики древних,души усопших
В мареве огней.

Crimes,in the name of the Gods and the power
Now, I feel that brightest hour
to come back to life after being dead

Hail to the Gods of fire and Hail
Hail to the Gods of pyre and Hail
Hail to the earth to the air to the rain
Thanks to the Gods for the air I breath
Gods of the Earth

От гиблых снов вновь пробудись,
Ледяной зыбкой мглой обратись

"In our eternal touch with the nature
We see communions of life and death
We see their joyous inseparable unity
We learn that life is as beautiful as death" [- John Muir]

03. Heaven & Hell & Fire

"The mind is universe and can make a heaven of hell a hell of heaven" [- John Milton]

Beyond the burning fire, heaven and hell
Today I give you choices: life or death
I offer you desire, I sentence you to death
Today I give you a choice, I give you Hell

Heaven or hell , heaven or hell or fire, heaven or hell
Life or death

Sentenced to burn in fire, burning to death
Beyond the blazing fire, heaven and hell

Heaven or hell, heaven or hell or fire, heaven or hell
Life or death

Heaven and hell and fire
Heaven or hell

Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom
I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise

Heaven or hell, heaven or hell or fire, heaven or hell
Life or death

Heaven (Heaven!) and hell (and hell!)
Fire (fire!) and death (and death!)
Heaven (heaven!) and hell (and hell!)
Sentenced (sentenced!) to Death (to Death!)

"I do not believe in the creed professed by the Church, by any Church that I know. My own mind is my own Church" [- Thomas Paine]

04. Hallowed Be Thy Name

Hallowed be thy name, Hallowed be thy name
Hallowed be the fire, Hallowed be the fire

Hallowed be thy name, Hallowed be thy name
Flames and pyre, Flames and pyre

Hallowed be thy name
Hallowed be the fire
Hallowed be thy name
Flames and pyre

Hallowed be thy name, Hallowed be thy name
Hallowed be the fire, Hallowed be the fire

Hallowed be thy name, Hallowed be thy name
War and fire, War and fire

Hallowed be thy name
Hallowed be the fire
Hallowed be thy name
War and fire

Eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth
Burn for burn and wound for wound
Love for love and guile for guile
Blood for blood and blow for blow
Eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth

"I care not:
It is an heretic that makes the fire,
Not she which burns in't. I'll not call you tyrant;
But this most cruel usage of your queen,
Not able to produce more accusation
Than your own weak-hinged fancy, something savours
Of tyranny and will ignoble make you,
Yea, scandalous to the world." [- William Shakespeare]

05. Dies Irae

Dies Irae - Dies Illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla
Teste David cum Sibylla

Quantus tremor est futurus
quando judex est venturus
cuncta stricte discussurus

The earth,
Thousands of years of wrath and pain

The birth,
A kingdom of light and fire will reign

The life,
Serve me and then eternity you gain

The death,
In gardens with seeds and fruits you reign

?and death

Cross of Fire
Cross of Fire
Cross of Fire
Cross of Fire

The earth,
Thousands of years of wrath and pain

The birth,
A kingdom of light and fire will reign

The life,
Serve me and then eternity you gain

The death,
In gardens with seeds and fruits you reign

06. ΠΙΣΤΕΥΩ (I Believe)

"Ερχομαστε από μια σκοτεινη αβυσσο,καταληγουμε σε μια σκοτεινη αβυσσο το μεταξυ φωτεινο διαστημα
το λεμε ζωη." [- Νικολαος Καζαντζακης]

Πιστευω σ'εναν θεο, ακριτα, διγενη, στρατευομενο, πασχοντα, μεγαλοδυναμο, οχι
Παντοδυναμο, πολεμιστη στ'ακροτατα συνορα, στρατηγο αυτοκρατορα σε ολες τις

Φωτεινες δυναμες, τις ορατες και τις αορατες.
Πιστευωστ'αναριθμητα, εφημερα προσωπεια που πηρε ο θεος στους αιωνες και
Ξεκρινω πισω α πο την απαυτη ροη του την ακαταλυτη ενοτητα.

Πιστευω στον αγρυπνο βαρυν αγωνα του, που δαμαζει και καρπιζει την υλη· τη
Ζωοδοχα πηγη φυτων, ζωων κι ανθρωπων.

Πιστευω στην καρδια του ανθρωπου, το χωματενιο αλωνι, οπου μερα και νυχτα
Παλευει ο ακριτας με το θανατο.

"βοηθεια!" κραζεις, κυριε."βοηθεια!" κραζεις, κυριε, κιακουω.

Μεσα μου οι προγονοι κι απογονοι κι οι ρατσες ολες, κι ολη η γης, ακουμε με τρομο,
Με χαρα, την κραυγη σου.

Μακαριοι οσοι ακουν και χυνουνται να σε λυτρωσουν, κυριε, και λεν: "εγω και συ
Μοναχα υπαρχουμε."

Μακαριοι οσοι σε λυτρωσαν, σμιγουν μαζι σου, κυριε, και λεν: "εγω και συ ειμαστε
Ενα."

Και τρισμακαριοι οσοι κρατουν, και δε λυγουν, απανω στους ωμους τους, το μεγα,
Εξαισιο, αποτροπαιο μυστικο:

Και το ένα τουτο δεν υπαρχει!
[- Νικολαος Καζαντζακης]

07. Fire, God And Fear

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities" [- Voltaire]

Blazing up the fire, burn my sacred sins in rain
My beloved desires, die out and lost in pain
Wealth dreams and pyres disappeared in foggy day
Marbled old Messiahs betrayed me hard and loudly I pray

Gloria-Patri

Burning hopes and voices,calling loudly my name
Silent words and noises whisper loudly and say

Gloria-Patri

"Κύριε ἐλέησον"

Gloria-Patri

10. The Raven

I fall from the holy empire,an angel that loosing his path.
I am tormented with passion and fire, i am tormented with pride,greed and lust

The raven,
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore?
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

I am dreaming flying higher and higher, i am dreaming hope, fear,love and pain
My gracefull forbidden desire,they always call whisper my name

"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!?prophet still, if bird or devil!
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted,
On this home by Horror haunted?tell me truly, I implore.
Is there?is there balm in Gilead??tell me?tell me, I implore!
Quoth the Raven "Nevermore".

I fall from the holy empire,an angel that loosing his path.
I am tormented with passion and fire, i am tormented with pride,greed and lust

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!" I shrieked, upstarting
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!?quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart,

I fall from the holy empire,an angel that loosing his path.
I am tormented with passion and fire, i am tormented with pride,greed and lust

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted?nevermore!

11. The Sons Of Hell

We are all devils and make this world our hell
Exiled Angels that wallow in sin and curse

Make your choice, wish you well
Serve in heaven or rule in Hell

A fool's paradise is a wise man's hell
Love delights, forbidden apples

Hale hellfire, burning spell
Our Heaven is their Hell

The Sons of Hell - The Sons of Hell

Heaven shine bright, but so do flames
I see the light, I see the shades

Pay the price choose your faith
Burn in fire or live your death

Your mind can make a heaven of Hell
A hell of heaven, a magic spell

Make your choice, wish you well
Serve in heaven or rule in Hell

Heaven - Fire - Heaven - Pyre

The Sons of Hell - The Sons of Hell

Make your choice, wish you well - Serve in heaven or rule in Hell
