1. A Terrible Visitation
I've seen the future... And you die
All faces wax pale...
Deep within the trembling begins
Trumpets sounding warning and war
Watching from a tower of sin
Over the mountain
Comes the Black Swarm
As the dawn spreading
His dark army comes raging
A day of gloom and darkness
Nothing at all can escape
They move as horses of war
Ears bleeding from the roar
And the sound of crackling fire
They leap from peak onto peak
They move with a blink of the eye
They scale the walls like locust
They crush through all defenses
They do not break their ranks
Tear and shred your hearts
For they are coming for you
They fly from the sky like hail
All faces wax pale...
What dread to be found
In grasp of an angry God
At the lifting of the veil
All faces wax pale...
Going on before them a raging fire consumes
Left in wake behind them a blazing fire burns
Lain in glory before them a virgin garden looms
Lain in waste behind them a raped and desolate urn
They rush into the city
Pitch black flood pouring over the walls
There is no refuge from them
Through each crevice they crawl
They enter through the windows as warriors drawn for battle
At the very sight of their shadows
The blood drains from every face
Tear and shred your hearts
For they are coming for you
They fly from the sky like hail
All faces wax pale...
What dread to be found
In grasp of an angry God
At the lifting of the veil
All faces wax pale...
Lord Sabaoth screams before His great army and mighty army
The Strong execute His Word
Who can endure it?
Open your spiritual eyes
Even now they come your way
You cannot stand against them
The hounds of Heaven seek your soul
No one and nothing at all can escape this force
They do not break their ranks
Who can endure it?
There is no refuge from them and you cannot stand against them
See, even now they come your way
The hounds of Heaven seek your soul
Seek your soul!
2. Desecrator
The Crucifix immersed in piss
The Holy Virgin smeared in excrement
The body of Christ in disembowelment
The words of Christ mocked and twisted
The Son of God called a bastard
The Word of God torn to pieces
The House of God desecrated
When all is told, when it’s said and done
I’d hate to be you!
3. Of Spirit And Power
Before the dawn we gather we are drawn
Moving in cold state
With hearts of fire, of Spirit and of power
We enter sacred halls to quench a thirst so vast so great
In these hallowed halls
Is knowledge for the Called
Derived from the Source
Our concoctions lain before us
Seven feasts arranged in chorus
Bowed heads signal entry of the force
Shiloh, Shiloh
Glory of battles won
Shiloh, Shiloh
Victories to come
Shiloh, Shiloh
Praise for battles fought
Shiloh, Shiloh
Crowns adorn the Sought
Teaching our eyes to see beyond our minds
Behold the spiritual realms
Revealing the war and what the Spirit has in store
These ancient mysteries provide a way
Drinking of blood and tasting bitter hyssop
Enlightening the soul
Accept this sacrifice
Disemboweling what’s inside
Laid in a watergrave and from this death we rise
Gannon, Chapman, Eckel
Standing proud to greet their sons
Upon seeing the destruction
To the enemy done
To the King they offer these Warriors of Blood
Drinking of blood and tasting bitter hyssop
Enlightening the soul
Accept this sacrifice
Disemboweling what’s inside
Laid in a watergrave and from this death we rise
For before the dawn we gather, we are drawn
Moving in cold state
With hearts of fire, of Spirit and of power
We curse the darkness and destroy our enemies
Curses and Destruction
4. Nightfall's Cold Kiss
The searing heat is fading
The fire that burned my skin
My blistered flesh is cooling
With the dying rays of Sun
Dying Sun
The howling winds bring comfort to my weary soul
And I close my eyes and welcome home
The Cold
The dawn of the season of death
Brings a grin to my parched lips
And now the very best of all
Nightfall
The moon in all its brilliance
Shimmers through the chrystalled sky
To illuminate this winter’s night
And smiles as nature dies
Nature dies
I hear the silence as it permeates the dark
Like a mournful funeral dirge that’s nightly performed
I’m reborn
“If eternity were made of this cold winter wind
And if home is where I lie, forever here I remain”
“If eternity were made of this cold winter wind
And if it’s here I die, I’ll die satisfied…I’ll die satisfied
5. A Cruel Verse
“For a spirit, evil, this way comes
Lament and howl, for this spirit from the North
As a lion coming up from its lair
It will destroy you!”
He will throw you down your blood splatters
You’ll be trampled underfoot, your body mangled
You’ll become as refuse on the ground
When they go to bury you, nothing will be found
For dogs will tear and eat your rotting flesh
Your bones will be crushed and turned to dust
But this is just a taste of your fate
In this, you can trust
Your mothers and your daughters will be ravished
Your pregnant wife, ripped open, torn apart
Your infant children will be crushed before your eyes
Wild beasts will steal your sons, they will devour
He will make your laughter turn to sorrow
He will turn your joy to agony
All that you have gained will burn in fire
He is on His way!
Open your ears, listen well
When you’re destroyed, you will feel Hell
It will be better for Gomorrah
Than for you on that Day!
He’ll smear the offal from your feasts on your face
Your sacred places will be filled with human waste
Your desolation, so cruel and complete
The flesh of your children you’ll hoard and eat!
Open your ears, listen well
When you’re destroyed, will feel Hell
Rise then, bathe in Blood of The Way
Then you’ll be spared this fate!
6. Crucifixion
7. Execution By Fire
Everyone who follows Satan’s evil schemes
Shall bring swift destruction on their heads
Exploiting their children with satanic lies
Harm for harm shall be destroyed and perish in their death
For My Lord did not spare the angels when they sinned
But He cast them straight to hell
Sodom and Gomorrah condemned
By burning them to ashes
Example of the sentence of the wicked
Throwing down in violence
With the serpent on fire
My Lord will execute
Judgment on all men
Many are those slain by My Lord
Hear the roar
Coming from the city
Tremble at His words
Hear the noise from the temple
It’s the wrath
The sound of my Lord
Repaying all His enemies all that they deserve
Now go out
Look on the dead bodies
Those who rebelled against my Lord
Their worm will not die
Their fire won’t be quenched
So now they rot in execution’s fury
Throwing down in violence
With the serpent on fire
My Lord will execute
Judgment on all men
Many are those slain by My Lord
Children of the Serpent, Oh accursed brood!
Their souls delight in their abominations
I will choose harsh treatment for them
I will bring upon them what they dread
For when I called no one answered
When I spoke no one listened to me
Doing evil in my sight
They shall meet their end together
When you face my wrath
You will pray for death
It will not come
8. Shattered Gods
I am the War Club
The weapon for battle
I shatter nations
I destroy kingdoms
I shatter horse and rider
Chariot and driver
I shatter man and woman
I shatter boy and maiden
I come with a destroyer
And you will be shattered!
As in the days of Midian’s defeat
You will be shattered!
Stand with the gods of Marduk
And you will be shattered!
Devise your strategies
And you will be shattered!
Lift up the banner
Sound the trumpet
Prepare for battle
For I come like a locust swarm
You will become
A heap of ruins
A haunt for jackals
The object of horror and scorn
I come with a destroyer
And you will be shattered!
As in the days of Midian’s defeat
You will be shattered!
Stand with the gods of Marduk
And you will be shattered!
Devise your strategies
And you will be shattered!
By Azahel, by Sebat
By Adonijah, by Qoheleth
How broken and shattered
Is the hammer of the earth!
How broken and shattered
Is the hammer of the earth!
Baal and Anubis, Belial and Osiris
Molech and Lillith, Odin and Ounis
I will throw you away
Like a menstrual rag
You are nothing more
Than menstrual blood!
Like whirlwinds sweeping
The invader comes
From a land of terror
My way is a whirlwind and storm
Silent! You Madmen!
I pile your corpses
On the lifeless forms
Of your worthless gods!
I come with a destroyer
And you will be shattered!
As in the days of Midian’s defeat
You will be shattered!
Stand with the gods of Marduk
And you will be shattered!
Devise your strategies
And you will be shattered!
9. Lord Of Darkness
Colours now fading, the sun burns dark orange
The trees ominous silhouettes
Foul cease their chorus cold winds taking over
Howling through bleak crevasses
With the forest eclipsed sun
And black clouds erasing stars
The crescent moon hoarding its light for its own
I search for consolation that my world’s not ceased to be
I sense a night is dawning as never seen before…
I pray…
He who made the Pleiades and handcrafted dark Orion
He who formed the heavens with the darkness His foundations
He who dawns the blackness and darkens day to night
Whose canopy around Him is the darkness of the sky
Come now… Take me!
We walk through dark forests with hells down below us
Far rises oft blacken the skies
No sounds from above to guide as we roam
Only screams for mercy and more screams belie
So we wander, we forsaken?
Could this travesty be true?
That Creator cursed His creatures to this dark?
A distant thunder then reminds us that we are not alone
Leaving our blood-wrought eyes searching for a spark
One Spark!
He who made the Pleiades and handcrafted dark Orion
He who formed the heavens with the darkness His foundations
He who dawns the blackness and darkens day to night
Whose canopy around Him is the darkness of the sky
Come now… Take me!
A longing for the day of my Lord
A foolish and misguided desire
If you knew you would never welcome this wish
For that day is black as pitch abscessed light
Run as though you’re fleeing Anubis
Only to enter Death’s Door
Think you have rest betwixt silken sheets
No, it’s a bed of vipers he has laid in store!
So now my salvation rises above
So dark that it brightens my night
My nocturnal shining as blinding mid-day
I hear his voice echoing through my sighs
“It is I who forms the light, creating darkness for My own
Disaster from its stillbirth I behold
I will give you all the treasures of the darkness you desire
I’m your Creator For I know the deepest secrets of your soul
I who made the Pleiades and handcrafted dark Orion
I who parts the heavens with the darkness My foundations
I who dawns the blackness and darkens day to night
My canopy around Me is the darkness of the sky
Bow now… To Me!
I Am…I Am The Lord of Darkness…”
