1. The Sign Of The Jackal
THE SIGN OF THE JACKAL
(Pate, Mandat, Fate)
CRIES FROM THE DARK, SCREAMS IN THE NIGHT
VOICES CALL OUT FROM BELOW
WAKENING FURY AND SUMMONING MINDS, TERROR OF THE TIME TO BEHOLD
IMAGE OF MAN, IMAGE FROM HELL, USING THE WICKED TO STRIKE
THOSE WHO WILL FEAR ARE THE ONES THAT WILL FALL
WEAKENING MEN WITH THE SIGN
STAND, BACK�YOU CANNOT ESCAPE FROM ITS HOLD
STAND, TALL�IMMORTAL MADNESS TO KNOW
OPEN THE GATES, OPEN THEIR EYES, UNDYING DEATH IN ITS STARE
TWISTING THEIR THOUGHTS AND DESTROYING THEIR WILL
BLINDING WITH VISIONS AND PAIN
ALL THAT YOU KNOW, ALL THAT YOU FEAR
WARNINGS FROM HELL ARE REGAINED
NIGHTMARE OF WRATH HAS RETURNED TO ARISE
ANGERED, ITS CURSE IS PROCLAIMED
FIGHT!...EVIL WILL CALL�SIGN!...JACKAL MUST FALL�
(leads - Mandat)
NOWHERE TO RUN, NOWHERE TO DIE, POWER OF DARKNESS SURROUNDS
HARDER YOU STRUGGLE, THE WEAKER YOU ARE
FORWARD THE TORMENT ABOUNDS
NEVER LOOK ON, NEVER LOOK AT, UNFORESEEN FORCES COLLIDE
THOSE WHO WILL FEAR ARE THE ONES THAT WILL FALL
TAKING VICTIMS ALIVE
FIGHT, BACK�CREATURES OF NIGHT SHALL ASCEND
FIGHT, ON�..UNDAUNTED THEY SEEK THEIR REVENGE
A BLACKENED PAST THROUGH ENDLESS TIME
THE SIGN OF LIFE FOR ALL TO FEAR
STRONG ENOUGH TO STRIKE YOU DOWN, BOLD ENOUGH TO LEAD YOU ON
ALWAYS SEEKING LIVES TO TAKE, BUT NEVER STEPPING FORTH TO TRY
COUNTLESS FOOLS TOO LATE TO SEE, THAT THE FORCE IS ALIVE�
EVIL WILL CALL�JACKAL MUST FALL
2. Fear Of The Dark
FEAR OF THE DARK
(Mandat/Fate)
THE FALL OF THE NIGHT ACROSS THE CITY
THE SMELL OF GUNSHOT IN THE SKY
THE ONES ALIVE ARE NEVER SITTING
AND SOON YOU�LL KNOW THE REASON WHY
BITE THE BULLET, FEEL THE HEAT
OFF IN THE DARK THE ENGINES ROAR
AND ALL THE NIGHTS ARE FILLED WITH ANGER
THEY SEE YOU COMING BACK FOR MORE�AS YOU
BURN DOWN THE NIGHT�YOU�LL RIDE ACROSS THE SKY
TO CAST AWAY THE VISIONS�AND TO BREAK OFF THE CHAINS
NO TOMORROWS FOR THE WEAKEST
WHEN YOU�RE FALLING DOWN THE DRINK TO HIDE THE FEARS
AND THE KIDS WHO CALL THE DEAD ARE NEVER SORRY
BUT YOU KNOW THEY�VE ONLY FELT THAT WAY FOR YEARS
BITE THE BULLET, FEEL THE HEAT
IT CALLS YOU BACK TO MAKE A STAND
AND CONFRONT YOUR EVERY WEAKNESS
�CAUSE THEY KNOW YOU�LL NEVER LAST ANOTHER DAY�WHEN YOU
BURN DOWN THE NIGHT�YOU�LL RIDE ACROSS THE SKY
TO CAST AWAY THE VISIONS�AND TO BREAK OFF THE CHAINS
NOT ANOTHER DAY�
(leads - Mandat)
YOU LOOK AWAY FROM LIFELESS SHADOWS OF THE DARKNESS
FROM EVERY DISTANT SOUND, YOU TRY TO RUN AND HIDE
AROUND THE BLOCK, ON ANY TURN, AND EVERY CORNER
SURROUNDED BY THE FEAR OF WHAT YOU�LL FIND
BITE THE BULLET, FEEL THE HEAT
IT CALLS YOU BACK TO MAKE YOU STAY
AND EVERY NIGHT THE SAME OLD STORY
SOMEBODY�S THROWN THEIR LIVES AWAY, ANXIOUS TO DIE�WHEN THEY�VE
BURN DOWN THE NIGHT�THEY�LL RIDE ACROSS THE SKY
TO CAST AWAY THE VISIONS�AND TO BREAK ANOTHER LINK
FROM OFF THOSE CHAINS
3. The Ritual
THE RITUAL
(Mandat, Pate, Fate)
SUMMON UNTO THEE, FROM THE CORNERS OF THE DARK
INVITING THE DREAMS FROM THE NIGHT
HOST TO ALL YOUR FEARS AND THE EVILS OF THE MIND
DECEIVER THROUGHOUT ENDLESS TIME
LOOK UPON ME NOW AS YOU GAZE INTO MY EYES
YOU WILL NOTICE A PLEA FROM THE GRAVE
WICKED IS THE CALL THAT BRINGS HELL TO LIFE AGAIN
AND THE CHALLENGE TO TAKE MY REVENGE
LOOK FORTH TO ME AND YOU'LL FIND
LEADING YOUR PAST LIFE AWAY
CASTING THE MEANINGS ASIDE
FORCING THE LOWLY MEN DOWN
ON AS I SEEK MY REVENGE
CALL FORTH YOUR EVIL DEMISE
LAUGHING I SEIZE YOUR DESPAIR
GONE AS YOU TAKE YOUR LAST BREATH
(leads - Mandat)
SUMMON UNTO ME AS YOU CROSS AMONGST THE GATES
THE BOUNDARIES OF DARK INTO LIGHT
SOON YOU WILL SEE AS YOU CALL APON THE DEAD
THE BEGINNING OF ALL THE END
LOOK FORTH TO ME AND YOU'LL FIND
LEADING YOUR PAST LIFE AWAY
CASTING THE MEANINGS ASIDE
FORCING THE LOWLY MEN DOWN
ON AS I SEEK MY REVENGE
CALL FORTH YOUR EVIL DEMISE
LAUGHING I SEIZE YOUR DESPAIR
GONE AS YOU TAKE YOUR LAST BREATH
4. Grim Reaper
GRIM REAPER
(Pate, Mandat, Fate)
CLOSER AND CLOSER YOUR DEATH, AWAITING IN A COLD SWEAT, YOU FEEL
ASCENDING THE FIRE, BURN YOUR SOUL
THE REAPER HAS COME, NOW YOU KNOW YOU�VE NOWHERE TO RUN
TIME FOR YOU IS GONE, JUDGMENT IS PASSED, JUSTICE IS DONE
YOU ARE CONVICTED, LIFE IS YOUR CRIME
YOU HAVE FORESAKEN LIVES YOU HAVE TAKEN, NOW YOU MUST DIE
YOU SCREAM FOR YOUR LIFE, FOR YOUR RIGHT TO BE HEARD
NO ONE�S THERE IN THEIR EYES, NO ONE CARES HOW YOU DIE
THE REAPER HAS COME FOR YOU NOW, YOU HAVE LOST, THERE IS NO TIME
JUSTICE CALLS FOR YOUR LIFE, NOW YOU FACE THE REAPER�S FATE
THE REAPER HAS COME FOR YOU�YOU HAVE LOST YOUR LIFE!
(leads - Mandat)
YOU SCREAM FOR YOUR LIFE, FOR YOUR RIGHT TO BE HEARD
NO ONE�S THERE IN THEIR EYES, NO ONE CARES HOW YOU DIE
THE REAPER HAS COME FOR YOU NOW, YOU HAVE LOST, THERE IS NO TIME
JUSTICE CALLS FOR YOUR LIFE, NOW YOU FACE THE REAPER�S FATE
THE REAPER HAS COME FOR YOU�YOU HAVE LOST YOUR LIFE!
5. Hell's Reign
HELL�S REIGN
(Pate, Mandat, Fate)
THE BLACKENED FATE OF DEATHS UNTOLD, TALES FROM THE RISE
MISLEAD FOLLOWERS TO AGELESS HATE
MIGHTY TROOPS OF MARCHERS BOLD, IN THEIR FUROR�S BADE
BRINGING HELL TO WHOM DEFIES THE WAY
THE FORCE IS ALIVE�
TYRANNY AND LIVES WITH CHAINS, CONDEMNED WITHOUT TRIAL
CARRYING OUT THEIR VERDICTS TO THE POOR
MINDLESS MEN RELIVE THE PAST, UNEARTHING EVILS OF TIME
PRAISING THOSE WHO�VE SENTENCED MEN TO DIE
THE FORCE IS ALIVE�
DEATH FROM BOTH ENDS, LAWS LEFT ASIDE
TAKING ALL THEIR LIVES, EVIL IN THEIR MINDS
THE FORCES OF DEATH HAVE LEAD THEM ASTRAY
NOT JUST FOR THE PAST, BUT NOW FOR TODAY
(leads - Mandat)
SATAN�S ARMIES STAND ON TRIAL, FACING DEATH FOR THE CRIMES
BURNED THEIR BODIES, SET THEIR TOWNS TO FLAME
HISTORY NOW, THEIR REICH WAS SHATTERED, LEAVING DEMONS BEHIND
ONLY SHOWING THE DREAM COULD NEVER DIE
THE FORCE IS ALIVE�
6. Escape Or Die
ESCAPE OR DIE
(Pate/Mandat/Fate)
THE SERPENT�S EYE IS WATCHING YOU
DARE YOU STRIKE, OR LOSE YOUR LIFE�
BEFORE HIM YOU STAND IN THE HOT DESERT SUN
YOU BLINK NOT AN EYE, OR DARE MAKE YOU A MOVE
QUIVERING SILENCE, THE BURNING OF SWEAT
AWAITING YOUR GLANCE, SERPENT OF DEATH
ESCAPE�OR DIE!
KEEPING HIS DISTANCE, HE�S WEARING YOU DOWN
JUST CLOSE ENOUGH TO SILENCE YOUR BREATH
YOU LOOK IN HIS EYE, HE LOOKS IN YOU
THIS WARRIOR OF SILENCE, ABOUT TO CONSUME
ESCAPE�OR DIE!
(leads - Mandat)
LOOK NOT AROUND, DARKNESS BETRAYS
WINDING YOUR FATE ACROSS HIS DOMAIN
DOOM IN HIS MIND, WATCH FOR THE SIGN
EVIL ENTICE CALLS FOR YOUR LIFE
HEED NOT HIS CALL, STRAY FROM HIS EYES
MEETING HIS MARK, THE CHALLENGE OF MINDS
RISING ABOVE FORCES THAT TEMPT
YOU WILL DESTROY SERPENT OF DEATH
BEFORE HIM YOU STAND IN THE HOT DESERT SUN
YOU BLINK NOT AN EYE, OR DARE MAKE YOU A MOVE
QUIVERING SILENCE, THE BURNING OF SWEAT
AWAITING YOUR GLANCE, SERPENT OF DEATH
ESCAPE�OR DIE!
KEEPING HIS DISTANCE, HE�S WEARING YOU DOWN
JUST CLOSE ENOUGH TO SILENCE YOUR BREATH
YOU LOOK IN HIS EYE, HE LOOKS IN YOU
THIS WARRIOR OF SILENCE, ABOUT TO CONSUME
ESCAPE�OR DIE!
7. Siren's Call
SIREN�S CALL

8. Damien's Procession (March Of The Undead)
DAMIEN�S PROCESSION (March of the Undead)
(Mandat/Fate)
DAWN OF THE CARNAGE, TROOPS CROSS THE MIRE
OUT FROM THE GRAVE OF THE DAMNED
THE BLAIRING OF TRUMPETS, THE POUNDING OF DRUMS
THE ARMIES OF EVIL ARISE
BLOODLUST ASSASSINS, CAST UP FROM HELL
PURSUING THEIR UNFULFILLED TASK
SOLDIERS OF DOOM ARE RETURNING TO WAR
STRIKING WITH WRATH AND REVENGE
BURNING!...FIGHTING!...MARCHING!...THROUGH ENTRAILS AND BLOOD
MALLING!...FALLING!...RECALLING!...THE WOUNDS OF THEIR PAST
SPIRITS ASCENDING, A CAUSE FOR DISPAIR
BRINGING MILTIAS OF DEATH
CRIES OF THE THOUSANDS, THEIR MOURNING IS HEARD
ABOVE ROARING WAR MACHINES
THE CLASHING OF STEEL, A CALLING TO ARMS
CORPSES CALL OUT FOR HIS NAME
A COMING OF DEMONS, THE PROPHETS OF FATE
THE UNHOLY OUTCOME REMAINS
RAPING!...TAKING!...FORESAKING!...THAT WHICH IS KNOWN
POUNDING!...AND STALKING!...CROSSING!...INTO THE TOMB OF THE FIRE
CREATURES OF DARKNESS, NIGHTMARES REBORN
THE UNDEAD WALK THE EARTH
THEIR BITTER TRIUMPH�ALL WILL MOURN
IN HYMNS TO TAKE THEM AWAY
INHUMAN MADNESS, IN HELL�S BATTLEGROUND
THE SACRED BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS
THIRSTING FOR VENGEANCE, THEIR SOULS IN LAMENT
TAKING THE TORMENT AWAY�
(leads - Mandat)
THE PAIN AND THE GLARY, THE FIGHT AND THE SHAME
SINNERS BEWARE OF THE NIGHT
BATTERED AND RAVAGED, A SAVAGE DOMAIN
THEIR MISSION OF EVIL AND MIGHT
WIELDING FORWARD, SOUNDING ALARM
UNTOLD DESTRUCTION ABOUNDS
A MINDLESS ARMADA, A MISSION OF DEATH
THEIR UNENDING FATE WAITS IN HELL
BURNING!...FIGHTING!...MARCHING!...THROUGH ENTRAILS AND BLOOD
MALLING!...FALLING!...RECALLING!...THE WOUNDS OF THEIR PAST
