1. Eyes and Teeth
Now you are lost and can't find
Gazes the teeth and white eyes
Lost all your reason, insanity
Nowhere to run, could this be
Chills up your neck, down your spine
Now you must run for your life
Monsters prevail, insanity
Nowhere has swallowed your being
Run from the blackness of night
Evil has you in its sight
Adrenaline madness won't let you be
No one could hear your last screams
2. Hung, Drawn and Quartered
The candle has burnt through, the wax that once covered my eyes
The Pharisees told you, but you knew of the black serpent lies
Come all ye losers, don't you know you're the children of life
Follow me now and we'll burn down the pillars of time
The evil has come and the darkness will cover the light
Above the legions, who will slay the poor and the blind
Warriors that follow, won't you read the sign and the time
Stand now in battle and we'll crush the clan and their kind
3. Speedwolf
Befriend a bastard, a thief as your brother
Heard him say what's yours is mine
Careful when gouging yourself with what's holy
I see through your transparent lies
Skeleton symphonies play psalms to tell you
Your venom has blinded your eyes
Make sure your rope is real strong when you hang me
Better make sure that I die
Your name became Judas the moment I helped you
Should've just let it all lie
If Mammon's the reason for killing your hero
Choke on your evil disguise
4. The Yeti
Beyond the mountains of ice
Exists a creature of frost
His secret lies in the skies
Eternal legend survives
His powers unknown by man
To catch a glimpse if he can
Wandering deep polar caps
Communication with saucer
Abominable nomad
The ancient monks know his clan
The time of yeti will rise
Because his ways have been wise
The yeti's feet take flight, upon the tundran ice
Carries the saucer's key, upon the space bound seed
The yeti's feet take flight, upon the tundran ice
Carries the saucer's key, upon the space bound seed
5. Nemisis
Come, enter the feast, eat flesh of kings
Hands crying blood, scourge making way
Sonic its sound, destroyer comes down
Feet plant on Earth, forcing the toll
Wasting what was, reap what you sow
Hammer of death delivers the blow
Invincible throne, tormenting hate
Eyes of the god, sombering souls
Dark is the cape, a dissident's face
Holy the war, laying in wait
Lashes that burn, crucified mass
Looked for the light, but death betrays
Devil's hooked tongue, black takes away
Ashes arise, clouds of their faith
Hatred becomes the infidel's graves
Unveil thy cloak, forge the mine curse
Demon seed womb, dictator's birth
Come to conspire control of the Earth
6. Thraft of Caanan
Ocean quest upon me, shoreline fades away
The mighty men drifting night and day
The sea has tossed them, beast beheld their eyes
Ready the ships, now it's do or die
Forged of blackened steel, wields the iron hand
Voices loud as thunder, pillaging the land
Drone seeks mortal vision, pulse the silver steed
Riding out to conquer all humanity
I'm high on fire, heads are searing
Give with pain all thy hearing
Promised land never veering
I'm stoned again, reset bearing
7. Surrounded by Thieves
Icy caverns
Holds man traveler
Ancient relic
Reveals secrets
Transform human
Beyond mortal
Learnt forboding
Sacred tempest
Up to their bridles in blood
The wars of the Earth have begun
The sunless age comes so it seems
The cities surrounded by thieves
Rich man he lusts for gold
Still there are slaves to be sold
Woe to the one who had saved
The cities surrounded by graves
8. Razor Hoof
Razor hoof coming down
Coming down, coming down
Antlers sharp, sharp to kill
Trampler unseen
Fearless wolf, bring it on
Bring it down, bring it down
Weeks without
Kills for blood
Corpse wolf, now raised
Razor hoof coming down
Coming down, coming down
Antlers sharp, sharp to kill
Trampler unseen
Fearless wolf, bring it on
Bring it down, bring it down
Weeks without
Kills for blood
Corpse wolf, now raised
