1. Whitechapel
Tonight's the night
I long to strike
The time is right
Ripper
Outside the law
I taunt them on
My blade is drawn
Ripper
It's the blood before my eyes
Bringing newborn life
To this tortured mind
I thrive and feed on fear
Come closer now my dear
Your Uncle Jack is here
The hunt is on
I'll R.I.P. them all
Sweet carrion
Ripper
Whitechapel's lights
Gleam off my knife
It's time to die
Ripper
Nightmare of slaughter
Come to the daughters
Who sell their wares
Sadistic visions
Bloody incisions
On bodies bared
Inside the chapel
Unholy chapel
The blood will flow
Streets stained in crimson
With blood of women
Whose souls I stole
No place to hide
That I won't find
I rule the night
Ripper
I've no remorse
Ripping your corpse
You filthy whore
Ripper
Oh, can't you see that I'm obsessed
It's like I've been posessed
I'll lay your soul to rest this night
With my knife
I've turned these streets to hell
The Demon's come to dwell
Tolling Death's Bell in Whitechapel,
Whitechapel, playground of The Beast
My friends just call me Jack
Inside the London fog
I stalk and slash my prey
I come to disembowel
And send you to your grave
Sinful souls shall perish
In the dead of night
Ripping of the flesh
Left breast removed by knife
I have come
The Beast of lore
To kill again
Now as before
One hundred years
Have now gone by
And once again
It's ripping time
Your Uncle Jack is back
Tonight, I strike
My scalpel sharp
Cuts to the heart
I love to carve
Ripper
Fit for The Beast
A royal feast
Of women's screams
Ripper
It's the blood before my eyes
Bringing newborn life
To this tortured mind
I thrive and feed on fear
Come closer now my dear
Your Uncle Jack is here
Jack The Knife
2. Rites Of Blood
One night among the graves
I found a sacred place
Where blood of life still flows
From sacrificial blows
Ah, hidden from light of sun
Ah, the Rites have now begun
Inside this sanctum
Blood still feeds the gods
Blasphemous Requiem
The Rites of Blood
I hid among the rocks
And watched the Dance Macabre
Upon the altar stone
A young girl writhed and moaned
Ah, with spikes made out of gold
Ah, they nailed her to the stone
Inside this sanctum
Blood still feeds the gods
Blasphemous Requiem
The Rites of Blood
Nothing sacred here
In this place of fear
Where the blood runs cold
I could hear the cries
As the virgin died
Upon the stone
The crimson stained altar began to glow
As death turned into life
The virgin tore away the spikes of gold
Blood pouring from her eyes
She ripped out every heart
Tearing bodies apart
The Accolites all dead
She came to me and said
Ah, I come from dust of earth
Ah, to dust she did return
Inside this sanctum
Blood still feeds the gods
Blasphemous Requiem
The Rites of Blood
3. Out Of The Abyss
Dark Kryos of space,
Destined for life
Creation of Fates,
Birth of all time
Out of Hell,
Out of The Well,
Cadaverous night,
And crystal light
Out of The Well,
Comes the holy one,
Son of the White Witch,
Taliesin
Out of The Hell,
Comes Cthulu's rage,
Breather of life,
Into The Mirrored Cage
Eternal life is born
Heaven and Chaos form
The Metal tides come forth,
Bringing the winds of war
Out Of The Abyss
Out Of The Abyss
The holy peaks,
Of Helicon,
Come forth and speak,
Through Muse and song
Comes The Son,
Taliesin
A warrior's tale
Inside the Veils
Eternal life is born
Heaven and Chaos form
The Metal tides come forth,
Bringing the winds of war
Heaven and Hell collide,
Bringing Midgar to life,
Into the world of light,
Out Of The Abyss
4. Return Of The Old Ones
Here in the darkness
Black Well of Chaos
Boiling before my eyes
In here the dead rise
Out of the Cauldron
Evil that never dies
Bringer of darkness
Demon of Chaos
King of eternal lies
Father of evil
Loosing his black minions
Into the night
Into the Cauldron I cast my life
Breaking the black spells of sacrifice
Into the Chaos
Enter the warriors
Aryan seed of life
War with Kthulos?
Re-animate life forms
Bringers of genocide
Nightmare's confusion
Morbid illusions
Wrecking the mortal mind
I Taliesin
Banish the Black Cauldron
With my own life
Into the Cauldron I cast my life
Breaking the black spells of sacrifice, into the light
The Old Ones shall return
Cthulu's words still burn
Into the etchings of all time
The Bardic songs of old
Of warriors brave and bold
Still echo magic in their rhyme
The fire burns bright
Inside the mind
Through death comes life
Blindness to sight, into the light
Here in the darkness
Black dreams of Chaos
I hear Cthulu's call
Forever The Old Ones
Shall be upon us
Until they devour us all
5. Black Cauldron
Dark angel of Chaos
Cthulu comes
Bringer of evil
The Black Cauldron
Dead placed in the Cauldron
Re-animate
Doorway to Hades
The Old Ones' gate
The Old Ones bring Chaos to earth
Conjuring Yog-Sothoth's birth
The fires of the Cauldron burn red
Re-animating the dead
With blood from the Cauldron
The dead revive
To war for their master
Cthulu's pride
Aesir warriors
Stand and fight
As Chaotic nightmares
Come to life
The Old Ones bring Chaos to earth
Conjuring Yog-Sothoth's birth
The fires of the Cauldron burn red
Re-animating the dead
6. Midnight Meat Train
Inside the Big Apple's subway
I slept upon the midnight train
I woke to horror and demise
What I now call end of the line
The Butcher's here
The bodies hung and all fileted
Inside this Midnight Meat Train
I killed the Butcher with his own knife
But the true horror had not died
Pale cannibals with filed teeth
Had come as every night to feast
They ate the tounge within my mouth
I am the one to serve them now
I serve the Fathers of New York
Midnight Meat Train
7. War In Heaven
Here before the gates of heaven
Ancient warrior-gods are marching on
Here arise the sons of vengeance
Born upon the breast of every dawn
Here the time never elapses
Only quickening towards the fall
Here the horde of Chaos passes
Blindly following Cthulu's call
The sacred words are spoken
The Seventh Seal is broken
Valhalla's doors are open
The Fires of Mars burn on
All waring gods are destined
To fight until the fall
A war made here in heaven
The Fires burn ever on
Into the fire
Burning desire
Chaotic dreams of sin
Sacred words spoken
Seven Seal broken
Valhalla's doors open
Here the gods have come to fight
The heavens burn this night
Funeral pyre
Still growing higher
Fed with the souls of men
Mass execution
Chaotic solution
To this war in heaven
Here the gods have come to fight
The heavens burn this night
All waring gods are destined
To fight until the fall
A war made here in heaven
The Fires burn ever on
8. Slaughterhouse
The fires burn red,
Like hell's inferno
In The Slaughterhouse
The chainsaws roar,
In deadly thunder
In The Slaughterhouse
Destined to kill
He slays at will
The murderer,
Of a thousand faces
Maddened to rage
Feet in the grave
Living off flesh,
Of the victims he has slain
In The Slaughterhouse
No guest is safe,
From bloody torture
In The Slaughterhouse
There is no place,
You can call safe
Inside this house,
Is a realm of Chaos
Enter and die
House of black light
Butcher of life,
Could have you under the knife
In The Slaughterhouse
The corpses rot,
Decapitated
In The Slaughterhouse
9. Helicon
Mountain of wisdom,
Of music and light
Muse of all vision,
Grant us the Waters of Life
Seeking the mountain,
Apollo's sacred realm,
Where the Muses dwell,
Inside the Crystal Well
Forest that echos,
Songs of the brave
Chidren of Delos,
Guarding the mystical gate
Magik the knowledge,
Of the ancient gods
I must carry on,
Seeking Helicon
I've crossed many wastelands,
And sailed to all shores,
In search of the mountain,
Written in ancient lore
And then in my dreaming,
The Lady came unto me,
To show me destiny,
The path I was to lead
Then came the logic,
Truth of all life
The gateways of Magik,
Are centered inside the mind
Power and wisdom,
Knowledge and eight fold law,
The music of the gods,
Lives on Helicon
The Veils of Existence,
Gateway to the sphere
Triad of justice,
A riddle sung to the ear
Darkness and Chaos,
Bow before thy might
Blessed be the light,
That burns away the night
Pegasus flying,
Across emerald skies
Warrior-Bards fighting,
To open the gates of the mind
An inner existence,
Posessed by us all,
Who fight till the fall,
Here on Helicon
War at the Gates
Guardians of light,
Defend The Fates,
Into the battle, storm this night
