1. My World, Your Hell
As the sun slowly fades
And the light begins to dim
When the night conquers day
My world of cruelty is revealed
Behind closed doors and sealed rooms
Your lusts, desires, fears and thoughts
Crawl from your souls like humble worms
Ready to beg my demons
My world, your hell
My lust, your pain
Our world, your hell
An orchestrated torment
My scarlet whores will quench your thirst
My minions will fulfill your greed
The blood of children for your hate
Venoms and poisons for your pain
My world, your hell
My lust, your pain
Our world, your hell
An orchestrated torment
Wombs bearing sin and malevolence
Are waiting for your semen
Treacherous serpents of the mind
Will lead you to your murder
Devilish tongues licking your veins
Taking away your sorrow
A sinister urge to assassinate
Hallucinating power
It’s good to know you’re satisfied
It’s good to know you’re happy
Entrapped into my tempting world
The one you know as hell
My world, your hell
My lust, your pain
Our world, your hell
An orchestrated torment
2. Death Rider (Omen cover)
Ride against the wind shameless killer in the night
Rape another village before the break of light
Trample down the ashes grind them with your hate
Take another heplpess life before it’s too late
Death rider you’ve taken the earth by storm
Death rider out of sin and hatred you were born
We all know the reason you haven’t any soul
None can fight your power the key to hell you stole
Upon a flaming steed you ride sickle tight in hand
In darkness you were born in darkness you make your stand
Death rider you’ve taken the earth by storm
Death rider out of sin and hatred you were born
Ride against the wind shameless killer in the night
Rape another village before the break of light
Trample down the ashes grind them with your hate
Take another helpless life before it’s too late
Death rider you’ve taken the earth by storm
Death rider out of sin and hatred you were born
Death rider
3. The Number of the Beast (Iron Maiden cover)
I left alone, my mind was blank
I needed time to get the memories from my mind
What did I see, can I believe,
That what I saw last night was real and not just fantasy
Just what I saw, in my old dreams,
Were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me
‘Cause in my dreams, it’s always there,
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair
The night was black, was no use holding back,
‘Cause I just had to see, was someone watching me
In the mist, dark figures move and twist,
Was all this for real, or some kind of hell
666 the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised,
As they start to cry, hands held to the sky
In the night, the fires burning bright,
The ritual has begun, Satan’s work is done
666 the number of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight
This can’t go on, I must inform the law
Can this still be real or some crazy dream
But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes,
They seem to mesmerize… can’t avoid their eyes
666 the number of the beast
666 the one for you and me
I’m coming back, I will return,
And I’ll possess your body and I’ll make you burn
I have the fire, I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take it’s course
Evil take it’s course
4. The Demon's Whip (Manowar cover)
Black candles slowly burning, white fangs and flashing eyes
Hell’s wind and incantations summon living fire,
As the seven steps await, hear the great bell toll
With a dead man’s bones conjure, the enemy of the soul
From the misery and sadness, of the molten seas of hell
Mystic love and mystic symbols in evil dreams there dwell
Darkest forces and your demon’s black order, black king
The cult that serves the living, accept this offering
A deadly drink, a meal of hearts, now sacrifice and die
In darkness and destruction, behold the evil eye
And the demon’s whip
Armies of the gods of hell ride across the astral plane
Bearing curses of destruction, sworn beyond the grave
Children of the darkness, all born but to deceive
By the ancient code of evil grant not one reprieve
In the place where evil dwells death can live when all life dies
Wage eternal war on heaven immortal hate below the sky
Your scripture and your sermons, are leaves born on the wind
To heal the unrepentant one needs a greater sin
Night winds, oblivion see my dark desire
Come forth, appear he is living fire
Feel the demon’s whip
Armies of the gods of hell ride across the astral plane
Bearing curses of destruction, sworn beyond the grave
Children of the darkness, all born but to deceive
By the ancient code of evil grant not one reprieve
In the place where evil dwells death can live when all life dies
Wage eternal war on heaven immortal hate below the sky
Your scripture and your sermons, are leaves borne on the wind
To heal the unrepentant one needs a greater sin
Feel the demon’s whip
5. Mordor (Running Wild cover)
In the centre of the empire of darkness
Black fortress stands might and proud
The shelter for the traced and tortured
For the one who’s damned
A dragon is watching for fortress
Black knights are controlling the land
To save their proteges from torment
They fight to defend
Rancour, against all raiders
Beware, if you’re renegade’s hunter
Watch out in slough’s haze
Vigilance, ’cause death waits
Recourse, to the traced
Be calm, they’ll give you shelter
Restless, they fight for freedom
Never, they don’t let you fall
Mordor
Mordor
Mordor
Mordor
A shoal of the knights of torture
Are hunting a witch to the dell
Sullen shades are raiding their squad
Church’s minions fell
A black knight leads through the mire
And in mordor she finds a new life
A life without pain and torment
No murder, no lies
Rancour, against all raiders
Beware, if you’re renegade’s hunter
Watch out in slough’s haze
Vigilance, ’cause death waits
Recourse, to the traced
Be calm, they’ll give you shelter
Restless, they fight for freedom
Never, they don’t let you fall
Mordor
Mordor
Mordor
Mordor
6. Pretender to the Throne pt.1 - The Usurper's Spawn
Pretender, [???????]
Godless descendant of my blood
Impudent son of Erihtho
You dare to provoke my power
So come and feel my ruthless wrath
On a night of a fiery moon
Your witchborn mother summoned me
Whispering my dreadful names
Raising the southern winds
I rode to her on griffon’s wings
Piercing the darkness of her dreams
She begged the dark to be my bride
To bear my son, the demigod
So I gave her the joys of hell
A night of dark and bleeding lust
My heathen sperm, my burning seed
To raise the mortals’ demon-king
I gifted you the mortal world
To rule the lands and do as you please
And now you impious earth worm
You dare to claim your father’s throne?
I am the dragon, supreme king
I am the dark that gave you birth
I am the blood and I am the life
Death riders my chariots of sin
But if a war is what you want
Then in my name so it will be
When Cerberus will howl at Hades
I’ll come my son your soul to take
7. Scarlet Witching Dreams
Turn from the light and live for eternity
A mesmerizing whisper
I once heard in a dream
And blood painted my dream scarlet
Sending my soul to sleep
I dreamed a purple night sky
Which I crossed on black wings
I met the queen of darkness
Destined to be my bride
And blood painted my dream scarlet
Sending my soul to weep
Scarlet witching dreams
I once dreamed of a tower
Of black ebony stone
Surrounded by three rivers
Flegethon, Acheron and Styx
And blood painted my dreams scarlet
Drowning my soul in grief
Scarlet witching dreams
I dreamed of frozen caverns
Bathed in pale moonlight
Unearthly bat-like figures
Were resting in the vault
And blood painted my dream scarlet
Marking my soul to deep
Scarlet witching dreams
I once dreamed of a grey wolf
Which came and licked my hands
I gazed into the beast’s eyes
And saw that I must hunt
And blood painted my dream scarlet
Upsetting my soul from sleep
Scarlet witching dreams
And now I dream of myself
Transformed and born again
Free from the earthen death tides
Entering dreams of others
And blood paints my dreams scarlet
Sending my soul to feed
Scarlet witching dreams
8. Les Litanies de Satan
O thou, of angels loveliest, most wise,
O god betrayed by fate, deprived of praise
(O prince of exile, who was dispossessed,
Who ever rises stronger when oppressed)
O thou who knowest all, hell’s sovereign,
Known healer of mankind’s afflictions
(Thou who the lepers and pariahs doomed)
Show out of love the paradise to come
(Thou who in death, your mistress old and strong)
Breeds hope - delightful aberration!
(Thou who dost give the outlaw the proud glance)
Which damns the crowd who watch his sufferance
Thou whose clear eye knows (the deep sepulchres)
(Where multitudes of metals lie interred)
Thou who by magic softens the old bones
(Ofloitering drinks by horses trampled down,)
Thou who, consoling frail mankind in pain,
(Taught us to make our guns and gun-cotton)
(Thou who put into women’s) hearts and eyes
The cult of wounds, the love of poverty
Father to those whom in his sombre wrath
God drove from his paradise on earth
Thou who didst set thy mark, (accomplice skilled)
(Staff of the exile and discoverer)
To thee, o Satan, glory be, and praise,
In Heaven, once thy kingdom
The abyss of hell, where now, thou dreamest silently!
Grant that my soul, one day
Beneath the tree of knowledge, may rest near thee
Show out of love the paradise to come
(Thou who in death, your mistress old and strong,
Breeds hope - delightful aberration!)
Thou who dost give the outlaw the proud glance
Which damns the crowd who watch his sufferance
To thee, o Satan
To thee, o Satan
To thee, o Satan
To thee, o Satan
Father to those whom in his sombre wrath
God drove from his paradise on earth
Thou who didst set thy mark, (accomplice skilled)
(Staff of the exile and discoverer)
To thee, o Satan
Thou who didst set thy mark, accomplice skilled,
Upon the heart of Croesus harsh and vile
Staff of the exile and discoverer,
Confessor of condemned conspirator
Thou who dost know where greedy earth enfolds
Satan, have mercy on my long distress!
Satan, have mercy on my long distress!
Satan, have mercy on my long distress!
Satan, have mercy on my long distress!
To thee, o Satan, glory be, and praise,
In Heaven, once thy kingdom
The abyss of hell, where now, thou dreamest silently!
Grant that my soul, one day,
Beneath the tree of knowledge, may rest near thee,
Like a new temple, its wide branches spread!
9. Lord of the Abyss
Dwelling in the infernal domains
Riding the winds of pain
King of the realms of doom
Hiding your wisdom from fool
Wandering in parallel worlds
Revealing your secrets to (the) bold
Time and space are all one
Supreme ruler, deathless one
Sitting on your throne of horrors
Bearer of the darkest light
Feeling compassion for our sorrow
Endless, greatest is your might
Sing the psalms of the abyss
As five angels perish in the sixth
Scream the end of the god of death
With the angels of the path of the left
Reveal to us the ancient lore
Of dark evolution we’re looking for
Inspirer of a new generation
Symbol of alienation
Prince of darkness I call thee
Bestow thy power unto me
Give me all of which I speak
Make me immortal, set me free
Honour to the lord of the abyss
Without whose laughter this world should not be
Honour to the lord of the abyss
Without whose sign we ourselves should not be
Lord of the abyss I cry out thy name
Lord of the abyss give me thy strength
Lord of the abyss enlighten me
Oh Satan, incarnate through me
