1. Protector of Death
At the gate of hell he guards
Welcomes with a look so hard
His duty is to let you in
But not out, pay for your sins
When you're lying in your grave
He sees you coming, a future slave
Belial is his only master
The one who brings the dark disaster
No one escapes from this place
The place of pain and of disgrace
His smile invites you to come near
And then you'll enter a dimension of fear
Forever he'll protect the evil
Stands on his post day and night
When the world is under Satan's darkness
He'll laugh again at the gods of light
(Repeat first verse)
Protector of death!
2. Misanthropy
Darkness falls - On your brain
Hear the call - Go insane
Your mind changes - Slowly but surely
Stalk in trance - Scream in fury
Hatred fills your tortured soul
Agression creeps into your body
Now you'll reach your only goal
Hatred fills yout tortured soul
Agression creeps into your body
Now you'll reach your only goal
Misanthropy
The human race is meaningless
There's no place for them in your world
Frantic thoughts confuse your view
You drank of the evil source - All must be new
Darkness falls
On your brain
Hear the call
Go insane
(Repat 1st verse)
Now it's time for you to die!
Misanthrope

Mercyless onslaught - Insane agression
Painful massacre - Sadistic torment

Bored hangmans - Desirous monks
Fanatic bishops - Agiating cardinals
Greedy informers - Innocent defendants
Crazy judges - Drooling accusers
(Chorus)
Tortured minds - Inquisition
Agressive flagellants
Conflicting belief - Inquisition
Burning crosses
(Repeat 1st verse)
Wanton preachers - Laughing penitants
Smiling heretics - Praying believers
Dying witches - Crying sinners
Destroying hope - A pleased pope
(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat 1st Verse)
(Repeat 3rd verse)
(Repeat chorus)
4. The Mercenary
Acid blood in the veins
Glaring into a dark future
With hate burning in his mind
And the pleasure of watching you peg out
It's totally in vain
To lick his dirty boots
And ask him for mercy
Because he loves to kill
(Chorus)
Mercyless mercenary
Brings you pain and crushes your face
Banishes your soul into eternal fire
A dark and wicked place
Satan's servant - His mind is void
Follows blind - One of a thousand men
Satan's servant - His mind is void
Follows blind - One of a thousand men
Mercyless mercenary
Brings you pain and crushes your face
Banishes your soul into eternal fire
A dark and wicked place
Once he was an ordinary soldier
With honour and a normal pay
But the greed for gold and money
Made him sign the parchment of no return
(Repeat 1st verse)
(Repeat chorus)
5. Agoraphobia
Fear of life and fear of death
Fear to think and fear to breathe
You know the horrible answer to it
The drugs are no way out of it
You scream out your tormenting pain
But there will be no mercyful saviour
Your mind is filled with madness
Because you can't get rid of this feeling
(Repeat the foregoing verse)
Talking without sense
Thinking about suicide
Endless, insane nights
Scream out your despair!
(Chorus)
Agoraphobia - Made you sick
Agoraphobia - You can't get out
Agoraphobia - You're a lone wolf
Agoraphobia - Has separated you from life
(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat 1st verse)
Talking without sense
Thinking about suicide
Because inside of the coffin
There'll be no agoraphobia
6. Kain and Abel
The mace dropped and crushed Abel's head
He died fast and got lost amongst the dead
Kain laughed loud: "I rule over sin!"
God asked him: "Where is Abel, Kain?"
(Repeat 1st verse)
Kain shook his head, "He deserved what he got!"
The blood on his hands, it was still hot
(Repeat the foregoing verse)
He laughed again and scornfull said to the creator:
"I am good, but Abel was a bloody traitor!"
God burned a sign into Kain's brow
He smiled and his voice was hollow
Kain raised his fist against heaven
"My number is 666, not 777!"
God had failed with his friendlyness
While Kain held a black mass
Kain was banned and spat on his brother's grave
God's nasty love - Noone wats to be his slave
On his way to Nod, Kain burned churches - Hanged the priests
He screamed out: "I'm a servant to the Beast!"
(Repeat the foregoing verse)
Now Kain's heritage lives on forever
God despairs, Kain was much too clever
God realizes that his reign is over
So he turns his back to the world and it collapses in fire and blood
7. Holocaust
Squirting mud and exploding tanks
Corpses strewn over a loamy field
Screaming wounded - Streams of blood
Guts, eyes, teeth trampled into the dust
Dirty holes full of greedy rats
Trenches filled with water and ammunition
Woodcrosses with illegible names
Bare-dead trees, waiting ravens
Ripped - Torn
Mutilated bodies
Mud - Shit
Cover the battlefield
Steel helmets
In the barbed wire
Fog - Rain
Endless nightmare
Minutes like hours - Awaiting the end
Deadly silence - Silence before storm
Covered soldiers - Bearing the mark of death
Like a tornado the fight breaks loose
Hundreds of warriorrs in a big assault
Man against man, mercyless slaughter
Who survives wishes he was dead
Bloody bajonetts on broken rifles
Enerved doctors operating without a rest
Innocent women and children dying for nothing
Years are gone since the last battle
Veterans - Old, sitting in wheelchairs
Eyes that say so many words
But the lips are closed
Still the landscape is marked by the war
Old cannons - Big holes in the ground
Burned-out bunkers rotting trees
A flower growing through a rusty helmet
Millions of crosses
Over the whole world
Countless witnesses
To a senseless war
Silent crying
To the government
Just a word:
"WHY?"
8. Only the Strong Survive
