2. Vermin
Hordes of disgust
Hungrs, hasty, roaming at night
Red eyes leering
Apparitions of the darkest kind
Heinous rodents
The past of the modern
agglomeration
Living terror
Indestructable abominations
Symptoms of the fulminant deseases
The number of infected ones
increases
Inimical towards the human race
Death in it's most efficient way
Ghastly creatures
Enticed by decayed filth
Abjective vectors
Crawling in fermenting dirt
Seat in stinking slime
Malicious horror
Still unaffected by time
Spreading an awful and deadly
zymotic
Whole parts of mankind
contaminated
Bubonic plague, immortal enemy
Several populations attained
Verrucous corpses lie in the alley
Mephitic cadavers are rotting away
The livin covered with furuncles
Vermin, infesting another decade
3. Diabolical Existence
Born to bow to the altar of the lord
Learn and pray
Watching you from above to dominate
Manipulate with this book
Caress an abstraction
It's only in your mind
Useless denial of reality
Diabolic existence
The root of evil is you
Centuries of inquisition
to burn your own mistake
Your eyes are the eyes of malevolence
Your horns are your faith and your cruelty
Your thoughts are corrupted with deceit
Honesty was burned at the stake
Agonize, brutalize crawl in disgust
the end of the truth is the beginning of your fate
The horns and the eyes of malice
Deceit is the name of the game
4. Evocation
Deep in your mind in subconscious voice
Eager to call, he who's guarding the gates
Feast of evoking, he who comes from the depth
Circle of Seance, in a trance of decay
Mass for abyss, so it will be done
Die! Only a soul, is worth his affection
Giving your life, his only need
And at the gate the Master is waiting
Come, kneel and beg for his grace
One out of all has the priviledge of approval
The rest remains dwelling through
the crypts of knowledge
Fighting the powers of forgiveness, remain
an evil black soul
Only a soul, is worth his affection
Giving your life that's all he needs
Circle of seance, not one soul will awake
Eager to call, mass for abyss
And at the gate the Master was waiting
Only one of all had priviledge of power
The rest is there to die a thousand deaths
5. Wasteland of Terror
Beyond the horizon
A frightened nightmare begins
The ultimate agony
Dimension of sin
Gateway to Death
Realm of darkness
Empire of chaos
Engulfed madness
Wasteland of Terror
Blasphemous Land
Shadows in blood
The slumbering damned
Scream at the gallows
As raven pick out their eyes
Eternal torment
Suffer in this paradise
Absorbed in insanity
Souls dwell in depths of pain
Roaring with laughter
As the dead die rattling again
6. The Sickening Dwell
Stench of Death welcomes
you
in a crypt of agony
Dwelling in morbid thoughts
Awake, forgotten misery
Crawling maggots paradise
Rats consuming flesh
Hanging stiff on hooks
In the statement of his Eden
Searching for the truth
Root of life
Sickening experience
Reaper's knife
Sick, evil, god,
The abomination
Right, wrong, human
Beast, angel, divine, morbid
revelation
Labyrinth of mind
7. Ode to a Nameless Grave
8. Pages in Blood
Words written in blood
And the book was bound in flesh
Rites from a distant mind
And the source was unrevealed
Pages in blood
Defiled words of truth and life
Invocation of the gods
The meaning of the seven seals
I have heard the unheard cries
Of a thousand dwelling souls
No one ever dared to go
Where the deceiver is the god
On a throne of thousand lies
And the wisdom never dies
Conjuration - Choronzon
Invocation - ritual defiled
In a land beyond my mind
An evil yet unseen
An evil that is called life
Spoken were the unholy names
Anger from behind the seven gates
I have seen the pleasures of the paradise
Pleasures known to the human race as sin
Pages in blood
Defiled words of truth and life
Rites came from a distant mind
And the source was unrevealed
9. The Rack
In the dungeon
Deep under ground
A morbid fear
Palpitations, unbearable pound
Footstep outside the stairway
Executioners's arrival
A sinister procession
Grim macabre tribunal
Heretical pervert
Inexorable judge
The sentence is death
By the grace of the church
Inside the torture chamber
The smell of blood and pain
Iron is glowing in pits of fire
Instruments of the insane
The Rack: Altar of blood
The Rack: Altar of pain
Suffocate in blood
Bones pulverized
Mutilated tissue
Evisceration
Sawed off limbs
Emasculation
Human leftovers
A smouldering mess
Atrocious perfomance
Methods of madness
Inside the torture chamber
Instruments covered with stains
The rack has taken his victim
Beyond the boundaries of pain
