1. Gates of Slumber
The clouds of twilight, they blind my sight
As it reaches out for forgotton shadows
Crimes of pain released from life
Tired and worn - tortured souls
Burning fires tremble the walls
Breakdown of life
Balance is broken
All stand to watch their fall
Darkness shrouds the fallen kings, as they raise their commands
Knowledge of ignorance
Long-past portals, forgotten in time
Never to be remembered at the gates of slumber
2. Eulogy
The fires from within
The outcome of destiny
All men are equal
Within the shroud of mortality
Look inside the door to find blank tranquility
Exposing the limits of imperishability
Lifeline of the gods
Trite magnificense - worship is unworthy to those who believe
Epulsion of faith - prophecies fake
Infinite limits bearing their names
Immortality's fading away
Invade boundaries clutching their graves
So let us pray, for this fucking false idol!
His very life, an exaggerated lie
No acts of contrition can blindly justify the sacrilege
May you rot for all eternity!
3. The Undead March
Rise from the depths, the night calls
Banished from beyond, unholy laws
This must be a dream, thoughts are betrayed
Armies from below - Judgment day
Stalked by eyes unseen
Witness the undead march
Mankind is moribund
The hour of death is now!
4. The Luciferian Twilight
Thy wrath is brought down - down to the grave
And the noise of thy viols....
How art thou - fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning
Let he who comes forth be damned eternally
Belied baptism
Hell's fires praise our names
We speak only evil - abusing the masses
What the devil would not speak, we speak it through him
All that is given to you, is given in sin
The Luciferian twilight - of infernal brightness
The Luciferian twilight - now cast into the darkest ruin
5. Beyond the Fallen Horizon
The forests claim their gifts, surrounded by oblivion
As the night spies on the ghost-lit torches
Words remain unspoken
Beneath the scarlet moon
Bearing the mark of dreams
To everlasting ends
Steps above the horizon lies the trail to false truths
Fires from a different world shout to the nearest distance
Embodied of flesh and bone, spirit of no limits
Transmigrate, infest the soul
No longer enslaved
Blinded by the will of god, so much for free will
Vulgar temptations scale this towering wall of hate
6. Darkness
Watch the portals seal to black as the mind decays
Tensions build to forlorn belief as desperation remains
Sadness then becomes the only ally
Falsified dreams turned melancholy
Fear flows through my veins as I bow down to the earth
Offering gifts of penance, my thoughts are reconciled
7. Death Dealer (Slaughter [Can] cover)
I am death, here’s my deal
I’ve chosen your carcass for my meal
Necrocannibal feast of flesh
I’m the dealer give me death
Death dealer
Death dealer
Deep in your brain I will infest
Parasite feasting on your flesh
Necrocannibal eats dead cunt
Death’s not the end, it’s just a front
Death dealer
Death dealer
8. Mountains in Thunder
Rising from an ageless dream
Reborn through nuclear fires
An ominous, ancient beast, legends have told - never to be seen....
Inexorable - death shall walk
Return of what once ruled - eons past
Invincible - force unknown
Unnatural fires - burn, consume
Hear its roar - like mountains in thunder
Cities rise and fall oceans turn to flame
Eyes glaring hate
Destruction in its wake
This towering horror's shadow falls upon panic-stricken screams
This ain't no fucking dream!
9. Scourging at the Pillar (Rerecorded)
Procession for living souls,
Victim of the sins of man.
Resurrection foretold,
Denial of the lamb.
For every breath I try,
I know that I must die.
Scourging at the pillar
[repeat first two verses]
As I grip my cross,
this pain I feel.
The son of man,
Afterlife revealed.
As I grip my cross
shedding blood-tears.
Thoughts of the dying world,
Betrayal and fear.
Crowned king, then crucified,
my life is sacrificed.
Fate of mankind,
Realize, time to die.
