1. The Hangman of Prague
In the gothic splendor of the chapel of St. Menceslaus
Golden door with seven locks
Seven keys within your hand
Ancient crown of Behemia placed upon your head
Sharpening your spears
The hangman�s disciple, vomiting forth death
Murderous power, radiate hate, harbinger of suffering
The malignance of maledomance rises beyond benevolence
Smite your foes that they may die
Splattering blood across the sky
Architect of genocide, by death taking pride
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
Thousand-eyed angel of death, armed with flaming sword
Spread your wings, let the killing begin
The hunter becomes the hunted, hangmen also die
Morning red, morning red shines us to soon be dead
Retaliating from beyond, killing, blood spilling
Wade through carnage
Seas of blood
Seas of blood
Morning red
Seas of blood
In the gothic splendor of the chapel of St. Menceslaus
Golden door with seven locks
Seven keys within your hand
Smite your foes that they may die
Splattering blood across the sky
Architect of genocide, by death taking pride
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
Hangmen also die
Morning red, morning red shines us to soon be dead
Retaliating from beyond, killing, blood spilling
Wade through carnage
Seas of blood
Seas of blood
Seas of blood
Seas of blood
2. Throne of Rats
Plague upon plague
Black boil redemption
On this sea of rats shall I set my throne
Halo of fleas
Blood puke salvation
Only fire is now clean enough to touch your soul
Throne of rats
Sword of disease
Throne of rats
See how the body contracts
Until your limbs become a rope of madness
Rope of regret
The piece of purity
Rope of regret
Throne of rats
Sword of disease
Throne of rats
Older than time am I, and yes I am for evermore
Constantly reshaping reforming to suit your sins
Death upon death
Black Death redemption
On this sea of death shall I claim my crown
Halo of death
Death puke salvation
Only death is now pure enough to forgive your sins
Throne of death
Justice is done
Throne of rats
3. Seven Angels, Seven Trumpets
And when the lamb opened the seventh seal
There was in heaven a silence
Seven angels, seven trumpets
Preparing to sound
God has sent his punishment over us
We shall all perish in the blackest death
Know,
That this can be your final hour
Death stands behind you
I can see the crown of his head gleam in the sun
His scythe
Flashes when he raises it behind your heads
Who among you will he strike first?
Hail and fire
Mingled with blood
The greatest of stars is about to fall
Before evening, will your mouth
Be distorted into a last
Unfinished yawn?
Like open-mouthed cattle
Blooming with appetite and lust for life
Have you got a year or an hour left
To pollute the earth with your debris?
Angels descend, graves open
It�s the angel of death passing by
4. Life's Emblem
Upon that storied marble cast thine eye
The scene commands a moralizing sigh
E�en in Areardias blessed Elysium plains
Amidst the laughing nymphs and sparkling flames
Life�s emblem here, in youth and vernal bloom
But reasons finger pointing at the�
See festal joy subside, with melting grace
And pity visit the half smiling face
Where now the dance, the hate, the nuptial feast
The passion throbbing in the lover�s breast
Life�s emblem here, in youth and vernal bloom
But reason�s finger pointing at the tomb!
Man: So say me noble stranger, what brings you here this night?
Death: I have come to release you from the bitter taste of life
Man: Why me? Why now? It cannot be my time
Death: Everything that falls to the ground is mine!
Upon that storied marble cast thine eye
The scene commands a moralizing sigh
E�en in Areardias blessed Elysium plains
Amidst the laughing nymphs and sparkling flames
See festal joy subside, with melting grace
And pity visit the half smiling face
Where now the dance, the hate, the nuptial feast
The passion throbbing in the lover�s breast
Life�s emblem here, in youth and vernal bloom
But reason�s finger pointing at the�
See festal joy subside, with melting grace
And pity visit the half smiling face
Where now the dance, the hate, the nuptial feast
The passion throbbing in the lover�s breast
Life�s emblem here, in youth and vernal bloom
But reason�s finger pointing at the tomb!
Man: But in youth am I still, and in flesh am I strong
Death: And I have a disease for every sin that you have done
Man: But I�ve done nothing wrong, nothing bad or untrue
Death: Neither God or Devil agrees with you!
5. Steel Inferno
Praetorians reborn, relentless spiral of death
Armored spearhead
Time of trial, circle of fire
Rostow, Charkow, Kursk, Tarnapol
Encirclement and outbreak, blood-soaked soil
Moments of glory and pride
Panzer death ride
Death and hell on every side
Death and hell on every side
From youth under steel command
Working toward piece by piece
Camouflage gear rips
Streams of blood drip
Machine guns fire, praying lethal dose
Crawl across the killing field
Black cross - red star
From times, last laurels
Black sun shine us forth
God�s soldiers, without god
No respite the blackguard dies
Loyal to the bitter end
High tide in the east, red deluge
On darkened wings death descend
Moments of glory and pride
Panzer death ride
Hell and death in every hide
Hell and death in every hide
Steel inferno
Panzer death ride
6. Perish in Flames
Closer, come closer till everything burns
Each fetus a torch
The missionaries� lips in raging flames
Death and our semen, at last shall we burn
Ash and coal
Come closer, come closer
Ash and coal
The guilty and the innocent the same
Light razorblades restless dance
Our navel-strings and forgotten sins
Ash and coal
Holy or crown of lust� the city must burn
The bread and the flesh must follow its vow
The abdomen, tongues and aborted the same
Every image of both living and dead
Shall perish in flames
Perish in flames
Perish in flames
Perish!
Come, come closer till nothing breathe
Come closer,
And come without warning
The prophet�s� ash and coal
Blind, but with a thousand seeking arms
Ash and coal�
Can you outrun the mouths of hell?
Holy or crown of lust�
The city must burn
The bread and the flesh must follow its vow
The abdomen, tongues and aborted the same
Every image of both living and dead�
Holy or throne of filth�
All nations must burn
The king and the whore together at last
The abdomen, tongues and seeker the same
Every fragment of both tomb and tree
Shall perish in flames
Perish in flames
Perish in flames
Perish in flames�
7. Holy Blood, Holy Grail
Empire of blood arise
Vengeance or our holy blood
Our Holy Grail, kill all the frail
Be our holy blood, our Holy Grail
Vengeance is mine
Says the lord
And I believe him
I believe him
Not a single straw shall nourish the enemy
No man shall give them enlightenment
No hand bid them aid
Every path will he find destroyed
Every road barred
Nothing but death, annihilation
And hatred shall greet him
Hatred shall greet him
Vengeance is mine
Says the lord
Yes, believe him!
8. Warschau
Crushing resistance, inflicting pain
Fierce devotion, reign of terror
Draconian measures, sealing their fates
Proudly displaying monuments in blood
Warschau
Warschau
Warschau
Overkill supreme, bloodletting
Sacrifice, blood is the price of victory
Iron claws descend, ruling with supremacy
Declaration of death, damnations pride
Eye for an eye, death for death
Panzerclaw retaliate, blood and dust
Annihilation, obliteration, cremation
Declaration of death, genocide triumphant
Crushing resistance, inflicting pain
Fierce devotion, reign of terror
Draconian measures, sealing their fates
Proudly displaying moments in blood
Warschau
Warschau
Warschau
Overkill supreme, bloodletting
Sacrifice, blood is the price of victory
Iron claws descend, ruling with supremacy
Declaration of death, damnations pride
Warschau
Warschau
Warschau
9. Deathmarch
Quod funeras, estis, quod sumus eritis
Quod funeras, estis, quod sumus eritis
Vanitas vanitatem amnia vanitas
Memento mori, memento mori
Nemo ante mortem beatus dici potest
Memento mori, memento mori
10. Everything Bleeds
Jeanne d�Arc, Jeanne d�Arc
Your mother are many
Everything bleeds
Nor have they heard the netherworld move its lips
You haven�t heard a word, you haven�t heard a word
It�s the emptiness
Everything is from within
Afraid to die you are
Don�t receive the sword, don�t receive the sword
Everything bleeds� the branches bleed
Between your cold mouths
They will throw ashes over the Seine
Ashes over the Seine
Like a funeral veil
Ashes over the seine
Jeanne d�Arc, Jeanne d�Arc
Don�t believe your visions,
Everything you given a name is already blest
Don�t receive the white armor
There is nothing to defend
Don�t bow down for the kings
All the blood, all the blood
Yes you will be betrayed
So much blood
The stones are cold
You hear no voices, you hear no voices
They will take up your sword to bloody bronze
And hang as an oath in the catacombs
You haven�t heard a word, you haven�t heard a word
It�s the emptiness
Everything is from within
Afraid to die you are
Don�t believe, don�t� believe
The saints are dead people, no pointed crowns
They will throw your ashes over the Seine
Like a funeral veil
Like a funeral veil
Everything bleeds, everything bleeds
Untie your dress, everything bleeds
And open up your protected room with two fingers
Everything bleeds,
Everything bleeds
Everything bleeds, untie your dress
Everything bleeds
And open up your protected room with two fingers
Everything bleeds
11. Blutrache
The great cathedral of man arise
Through doors flung wide
Every nation marches singing
Towards defeat and death
Judgment day edges toward evening
Panzer thunder, panzer death
Black twelve armed holy sun
Rise! Rise! Holy sun
Judgment day edges toward evening
Every nation marches singing
Every nation toward death
Let us rejoice in the light of this man-made Armageddon
This man-made hell
Hand in hand with angels of iron
Angels of wrath
Panzer thunder, panzer death
Black twelve armed holy sun
Rise! Rise! Holy black sun
The great cathedral of man arise
Through doors flung wide
Every nation marches singing
Toward defeat and death
Judgment day edges toward evening
Panzer thunder, panzer death
Black twelve armed holy sun
Rise! Rise! Holy black sun
Judgment day edges toward evening
Every nation marches singing
Every nation toward death
Let us rejoice in the light of this man-made Armageddon
This man-made blazing hell
Hand in hand with angels of iron
Angels of wrath
Panzer thunder, panzer death
Black twelve armed holy sun
Rise! Rise! Holy black sun
Every nation marches singing
Every nation towards death
Let us rejoice in the light of this glaring mass cremation
This shining mass death light
Hand in hand with angels of iron
Angels of wrath
Panzer chaos, panzer hell
Black twelve armed holy sun
Rise! Rise! Holy sun
Every nation marches singing
Even our children shall fight to the end
Let us rejoice in the light of this man-made Armageddon
This man-made blazing hell
Hand in hand with angels of iron
Angels of wrath
Panzer thunder, panzer death
Black twelve-armed holy sun
Rise! Rise! Holy black sun
Ever nation marches singing
Every nation toward death
Let us rejoice in the light of this sacred dance of death
