1. Triumph Again
This day comes to soon, one more life I must consume
One more life I need to gain the freedom that I seek
Led through the tunnels and labyrinths so deep
Prisoners and slaves encircling me
I am but one, one of the same
When the sun sets this all shall change
We who are about to die, we salute you
We who are about to die, we salute you
Five men in, one leaves
Today there will be no mercy
Lust for blood grows strong
Not from me but ones watching on
We who are about to die, we salute you
We who are about to die, we salute you
Catching the gleam of a childs glad eye
Cheering and laughing while watching them die
In the arena of death they shall fall
To the delight and enjoyment of all
Verbera strike deaths blow
The last ones my hands shall know
Triumph I have seen another triumph there will not be
2. Sky Burial
Life's circle has come to pass release the soul free at last
This is not a tragic end but a new beginning to start again
Let us gather ceremony commence a sacred clearing is where we begin
The tools for this trade are small and few
Ripping and crushing the priest is to do
Life's circle has come to pass release the soul free at last
As he sharpens up his blade bring the body here she lays
Looking up into the sky the birds of prey are quick to fly
Down, insert the blade deep within
Tear, cutting flesh from limb to limb
Break, crush and shatter very bone
Pray, gut the corpse the blood runs cold
Vultures drawing closer still beginning now to feast at will
Her memory now just remains all flesh and bones are carried away
Life, a tribute to the ways of old
Death, this is a sky burial
Fly to the light her spirit flows
Up, this is a sky burial
Save and preserve the top half of the skull
From this we drunk in great celebration
A toast to long life and to prosperity
A toast to this ancient archaic belief
Life's circle has come to pass release the soul free at last
This is not a tragic end but a new beginning to start again
Let us gather ceremony commence a sacred clearing is where we begin
The tools for this trade are small and few
Ripping and crushing the priest is to do
Life, a tribute to the ways of old
Death, this is a sky burial
Fly to the light her spirit flows
Up, this is a sky burial
3. Searching
I am always
I am forever
Time I know not, death is not brought
Judger of all, my wrath shall fall
I am shapeless
I am deathless
Known by many names, never feel pain
Infinitely, existing
Where is the light ,where is my god
Shoe me a light, show me my god
Searching for the ultimate reality
Looking for the father the deity
Knowing I am the giver of all life
Asking where is the one that gave me mine
Searching for the ultimate reality
Looking for the father the deity
Knowing I am the giver of all life
Asking where is the one that gave me mine
I am boundless
I am soulless
No end I shall see, all praise go to thee
For all eternity, I shall never see
Searching
4. Transversing The Tides
Do you wish to be, carried over sea
To the banks beyond of the acheron
Passage, is that what you seek
Passage, admittance from me
Obulus, that is what I seek
Obulus, for you to proceed
Passage, is that what you seek
Passage, admittance from me
Hermes bring them all to me, those who seek eternity
Buried with the proper rites, thou shall suffice
Breathing souls who wish to go present to me the golden bough
Looking to the oracle, cumaean sibyl
A hundred years you may find, a hundred years lost in time
Cerebus not far behind, lingering on
Do you wish to be, carried over sea
To the banks beyond of the acheron
Transverse the tides, listen for the cries
Of the souls below, perhaps you will know
Passage, do you still seek this
Passage, assuming all the risks
Obulus, does not ensure the cross
Obulus, all you know may be lost
Passage, do you still seek this
Passage, assuming all the risks
Precarious, uncertain premises
Precarious, dependent on this
Touch the water you shall know only sorrow
Touch the water you shall feel only hate
Touch t he water you shall see rancid plague
Just, just one drop
Touch the water you shall hear screaming souls
Smell the water's sweet scent of wasted life
Feel the water you shall burn, burn with fire
Feel the water you shall drown in misery
Just, just one drop
5. Berserker
Elite forces cloaked in fur un sensitive to pain,
Buried deep beneath a sect worshipping the one
Odin
Only knowing one true way in battle to obtain,
Anything, everything in an uncontested way
Crushing
Fires set in the dark blazing on through the night berserker
Rage from deep in the heart undying will for the fight berserker
Hazeled fields lay precise, a challenge met with great strike berserker
Feel the double edged blade meet the soul that it takes
Burn the village to a smoldering ash
Rape and torture leave them in the past
Strike quick and kill the fast
Invasion, pillage, plunder the battle field
Feeling for life no more
My lust for death is pure
Numb to the pain I endure
Invasion, pillage, plunder the battle field
Elite forces cloaked in fur un sensitive to pain,
Buried deep beneath a sect worshipping the one
Odin
Only knowing one true way in battle to obtain,
Anything, everything in an uncontested way
Crushing
Don't even try as I am in your path
Call me god with your last breath
Feel the berserker's wrath
Invasion, pillage, plunder the battle field
Taking apart of the helm
All of the peace has fell
Now I control this realm
Invasion, pillage, plunder the battle field
6. The Last Day
Morning rise hear the crow this the last all things shall know
Asgard will fall reduced to ash cities crumble none shall pass
Trembling earth starts the trend now the final days end
Ragnarok we will see ragnarok this will be
Touch of ice, begin to show
Unyielding cold, winters breath
As harsh as three but only one destroys the rest
Gods awake, the time has come
All to war, all the same
Destiny no escape none to blame
Break the bonds loki's rise lead the march the gods demise
Ships set sail meant to be of dead men's nails upon the sea
Undead shall hear legions deep the masters call they will meet
Ragnarok we will see ragnarok this will be
Touch of ice, begin to show
Unyielding cold, winters breath
As harsh as three but only one destroys the rest
Gods awake, the time has come
All to war, all the same
Destiny no escape none to blame
Surt no longer waits alone deep beneath his fiery home
Fell the fire searing heat
Burn the world
Underneath the ocean depths rising up with the rest
Spew the serpents poison over
Land and sea
Heimdall guardian and watcher of the bi frost
Shreds of hope are all but lost
Hear the great horn blow
Gods take up your weapons ride unto the heavens
Now the once blue sky
Shall burn in flames
Watch the earth sink beneath untimely death under the sea
No wind shall blow no water runs just to feel the blackened sun
All that's left nothing, nothing is everything
Ragnarok we will see ragnarok this will be
Touch of ice, begin to show
Unyielding cold, winters breath
As harsh as three but only one destroys the rest
Gods awake, the time has come
All to war, all the same
Destiny no escape none to blame
7. Reign
Call me the lord of all wars, call me the lord of storms
Call me the lord of all hate and disorder
My reign shall not be complete until the whole defeat
Bow now unto thee and worship at my feet
Murder shall soon unfold and fulfill the prophecies
Stories that once were told now are sure to be
Death was imminent fourteen pieces left
visible in the earth his death is my birth
The son shall arise avenge the conquering
A long campaign eighty it is to be
Fighting so long for I am tiring
The son has arisen and regained the reign from me
Call me the lord of all wars, call me the lord of storms
Call me the lord of all hate and disorder
My reign shall not be complete until the whole defeat
Bow now unto thee and worship at my feet
Banishment to be, placed at the side of re
In the northern sky, thunderous my cry
Assemble and resurrect, troth the magic of isis
King of the underworld, to the dead he is now lord
Call me the lord of all wars, call me the lord of storms
Call me the lord of all hate and disorder
My reign shall not be complete until the whole defeat
Bow now unto thee and worship at my feet
8. Sixteenth Chamber (Bonustrack)
Trapped, shackled by four chains,
strapped to a wall,
tormented day by day,
living life in
Fear, hunger sets in now pain begins,
rats naw my flesh, infected limbs are
Left, nothing to see, nothing to hear,
only screams of anguish followed by
Tears, wishing to die,
the luxury its time I've lost control the
sixteenth chamber has taken my soul
Screams ripping through the air, bloodstained walls
everywhere. People dying lives are lost
this is my own holocaust.
Me existence torn from mind, flowing fast
like the sands of time. Please lift this
horrid curse, living in a world of hurt
Life line of consciousness, overshadowed by
lancination. Barely subsiting breathing,
living with the dead
Trapped, shackled by four chains,
strapped to a wall,
tormented day by day,
living life in
Fear, hunger sets in now pain begins,
rats naw my flesh, infected limbs are
Left, nothing to see, nothing to hear,
only screams of anguish followed by
Tears, wishing to die,
the luxury its time I've lost control the
sixteenth chamber has taken my soul
9. Slave To The Grave (Bonustrack)
Mourners gather round
look at the corpse in a casket
teardrops hit the ground
what is this?
Touching the dead
feels so cold
Carrying the body
to the open ground
Final time you see it
it is going down
Mourners gather round once more
look at the closed casket
Mother faints to the floor
What is it?
Preacher say your senseless words
listening its so absurd
this ordeal is nothing new
now the cemetery owns you
You are but a slave to the grave
