3. Hollow Womb of Suicide
The ecstasy of suicide
Making love to open wounds
How the end can smile in the mirror of destiny
Now death has come
The misery of suicide making fires of twisted flesh
Making love to open wounds
How the end can smile in the mirror of destiny
Now death has come
The Hollow womb of suicide
4. Sword of the East (Hawkwind cover)
(Narration)
Lost in the gleaming hue of timeless war where the twilight slain glisten in the shimmering waves of blood.
The spirits of murder are clothed in ash awaiting the wind of evermore to disperse their hollow form.
I see the voices of peace wailing amongst an all-consuming hatred,
I hear the images of skinless shadows lamenting from the embers of reeking human remains.
Behold the withering delirium of harrowing slaughter burning in an eastern blaze.
Nightmares arise from stillborn dreams to decay in a pestilential tempest of Mesopotamian graves.
God live forever
But we do not
5. Satanic Black Nubian Pharaohs
No more pharaohs
No more kings
No more masters
No more darkness
I gave you life
I gave you death
But you’ll never ever set me free
I gave you fire
I gave you war
But you’ll never ever set me free
I gave you iron
I gave you gold
But you’ll never ever set me free
I gave you might
I gave you hell
But you’ll never ever set me free
I gave you life
I gave you death
I gave you fire
But you’ll never ever set me free
I gave you war
I gave you iron
I gave you hell
But you’ll never ever set me free
Falling ever deeper
Going nowhere, nowhere fast
There’s nothing left
But the past
Calling out for god
But god is dead
So stop you crying
And let me go
Didn’t no one Ever tell you
Times in reverse
And we’re all going back to hell
Back to hell
Back to hell
Back to hell
6. Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong cover)
I see newborn graves
Dirt dimmed with steam
Open womb flesh
Death and disease
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see ethnic cleansing
Pain beyond belief
Whole nations murdered
Sorrow and grief
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
The silhouettes of murder
So pretty in the sky
Where rapists stair and wonder
At children passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying ‘How do you do’
But they’re really saying
Hey, Fuck you!
I see men talking peace
Words full of shit
Eyes welled with war
Poison and deceit
And I think to my self what a wonderful world
Yeh
I think to my self, what a wonderful world.
Oh yeh.

8. Behold the Kindred Battle Carcasses Strewn Across the Bloodied Dunes of Gilgamesh Mute in the Frenzied Clamour of Death's Rolling Tongue and Ravenous Bursting Steel
Digging Graves in Palestine
A plague of darkness falls
Killing Jews in Bethlehem
A place of dreamless sleep
Damascus steel of wars foul dread
Blasting horrors from hell
Across the dunes of gilgamesh
A screaming death awaits
Gilgamesh
Sumerian gods are desert dust
The slaughter never ends
The dead are laid in newborn graves
In a blood rich icy swell.
Children burn in Lebanon
Hurled on shrieking pyres
Across the dunes of gilgamesh
A screaming death awaits
Gilgamesh
Behold the quenchless eastern fire
To frenzied war we are driven
To stoke the hearths of guttural moans
This craving maw we are given
Bones are cleaved and shattered
Amidst the hail and thunder
Ashes raked and scattered
Dignity cast asunder
You daze at the heavens so magnificent and vast
Dreaming of peace with shrapnel up your arse.
One god with many names
One race with many faces
Everyone’s right and everyone’s wrong
And they’ll not know what they have lost
Until its all fucking gone.
Children burn in Lebanon
Hurled on shrieking pyres
Sumerian gods now desert dust
Consumed by the voice of hate.
Give them Guns, Give them aids &
Give them bibles and cut price graves
Forget the afflicted, ignore the dispossessed
Its not our problem, its their fucking mess.
Feed the world with vinegar and oil
Do they know its Christmas?
Is Santa clause black?
Does it snow in Africa?
Its christmas
It’s a time for giving, for giving up and dying.
Bury the dead in cess pits
The smell wont be so bad
9. Beyond Death and Darkness
Endless Death
Sullen death
Silent death
Tragic death
Hollow death
Muted death
Gutless death
Rabid death
After death I ride one more
Drinking blood by satans side
A burning soul I have become
A living fire of death denied
Empty death
Godless death
Sacred death
Timeless death
Mordant death
Mournful death
Grieving Death
Wordless Death
Its time to leave this burning hell
To travel far from Ge-Hinnom
Far from searing desert winds
Into death realms far beyond
Raging Death
Lusting Death
Wailing Death
Ancient Death
Newborn Death
Bestial Death
Lasting Death
Bloodless Death
Death and darkness
Together we are as one
Death and darkness
Look what we’ve become
