1. The Dawn of a New Age (Remixed by Apoptygma Berzerk)
This is Armageddon
“And I looked, and behold a pale horse
And his name that sat on him was death
And Hell followed him, and power was given
Unto them over the fourth part of the world
To kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death
And with the beasts of the Earth.”
And then again “I saw and beheld, a black horse,
And he that sat on him had a scythe, and a crown
Was given unto him and he went forth conquering, and to conquer
And there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black
A sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood
And the stars of heaven fell unto the Earth
Even as a fig tree castes her untimely figs
When she is shaken of a mighty wind, and the heavens
Departed as a scroll when it is rolled together
And every mountain and island were moved out of their places.”
Almighty mountains and rocks, I beg you fall on them
For the great day of wrath is coming,
And who shall be able to stand?
2. Night of Divine Power (Re-Recording of the Dark Castle in the Deep Forest)
3. Forhekset (Live)
Forhekset av tidenes vind, Besatt av Nattens kolde gufs
Under ravnsvart himmel de bedriver Blodskam og hor
Med skingrende stemmer de påkaller Dypets makter
I en sirkel bundet av Grimme visjoner
Båret av dyrets Glans, Omfavnet av dødens vinger
Av det dypeste hat i det sorteste av det mørke
I en eng av torner...Nå i fullmånens besettende lys
De nagler englene til jorden med sjel og kropp
Kaos hersker over de hvite domener
Profetier blir oppfylt
Jorden står i et hav av flammer
4. Orgasmatron (Motörhead cover)
I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.
I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant and revel in you pain
And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate
I am the politician, and I decide your fate
I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might
I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave
I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave
Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown
For I am Mars, the god of war, and I will cut you down.
