1. Witching Hour
Come hear the moon is calling,
The witching hour draws near,
Come hear the bell is tolling,
Mortals run in fear,
Prepare the altar now and hear the virgin cry,
Hold fast the sacrafice,
For now it's the time to die,
All hell breaks loose,
Hell's breaking loose.
Unveil the pentagram,
And feel the demons lust,
Come watch the holy men,
Who look on in disgust,
Come taste blood,
And feel the heat of satan's breath,
Look in the sky's and see,
The warriors of death,
All hell breaks loose,
Hell's breaking loose,
Witching hour.
Our work is now complete,
The blood runs fast and free,
And satan takes his bride,
And cry's of blasphemy,
All hell rejoices at the child,
That she will bear,
And satans only son,
Shall be the worlds despair,
All hell breaks loose,
Hell's breaking loose,
Witching hour.
2. Countess Bathory
Welcoming the virgins fair, to live a noble life
In the castle known to all - the Count's internal wife
She invites the peasants with endless lavish foods
But, when evening spreads it wings, she rapes them of their blood
Countess Bathory
Countess Bathory
All day long the virgins sit and feast on endless meals
The Countless laughs and sips her wine - her skin doth crack and peel
But when nighttime fills the air one must pay the price
The Countess takes her midnight bath with blood that once gave life
Countess Bathory
Countess Bathory
Living in her self styled Hell, the Countess dressed in black
Life's so distant - death's so near - no blood to fury time back
The castle walls are closing in, she's crippled now with age
Welcomes death with open arms - the reaper turns the page
Countess Bathory
Countess Bathory
3. Die by the Sword
Live by the sword and help to contain
The helpless minds of you all
Die by my hand in pools of blood
Clutch yourself as you fall
Mindless tyranny, forgotten victims
Children slaughtered in vain
Raping the maids, in which they serve
Only the words of the Lord
Die by the sword
Die by the sword
Satan watches all of us
Smiles as some do his bidding
Try to escape the grasp of my hand
And your life will no longer exist
Hear our cry, save us from
The Hell in which we live
We turn our heads toward the sky
And listen for the steel
Die by the sword
Die by the sword
Watch as flowers decay
On (the) cryptic life that died
The wisdom of the wizards
Is only a neurtured lie
Black knights of Hell's domain
Walk upon the dead
Satanas sits upon
The blood on which he feeds
Die by the sword
Die by the sword
4. Antichrist
Screams and nightmares
Of a life I want
Can't see living this lie no
A world I haunt
You've lost all control of my
Heart and soul
Satan holds my future
Watch it unfold
I am the Antichrist
It's what I was meant to be
Your God left me behind
And set my soul to be free
Watching disciples
Of the satanic rule
Pentagram of blood
Holds the jackal's truth
Searching for the answer
Christ hasn't come
Awaiting the final moment
The birth of Satan's son
Screams,
From a life I live
Torment,
Is what I give
Torture,
Is what I love
The down fall,
Of the heavens above
I am the Antichrist
All love is lost
Insanity is what I am
Eternally my soul will rot (rot... rot)
5. Hell Awaits
Existing On Damnations Edge
The Priest Had Never Known
To Witness Such A Violent Show
Of Power Overthrown
Angels Fighting Aimlessly

Our Legions Killing All In Sight
To Get The One Called Lord
The Gates Of Hell Lie Waiting As You See

Satan Sees The Answer Lies Not Far

6. Chemical Warfare
Frantic minds are terrified
Life lies in a grave
Silent death rides high above
On the wings of revelation
Multi death from chemicals
Arrogance has won
Annihilation must be swift
Destroy without destruction
Gods on the throne must be watching from hell
Awaiting the mass genocide
Soldiers defeated by death from a smell
Bodies lie dormant no life
Rising new souls on the lands where they fell
Demons not ready to die
Nothing to see where the sleeping souls lie
Chemical warfare
Artificial fucking peace
Line up in a death row
Generals in their slow defeat
Diminished from this hell
Banished from the dying world
The lords of hell await
Dogs of war are helpless prey
To immortality
Gods on the throne must be watching from hell
Awaiting the mass genocide
Soldiers defeated by death from a smell
Bodies lie dormant no life
Rising new souls on the lands where they fell
Demons not ready to die
Nothing to see where the sleeping souls lie
Chemical warfare!!!
Fuck it up!
Liquidate
The torture kills the troops that try to fight
Terminate
Human pesticide bring days of doom
Mist falls
The deadly gas that brings them to their knees
Sacrifice
Steal the soul and send his corpse to hell
Hahahahahaha
Mummified regions lying in dust
Fall victim to this game
Petrified corpses bathing in rust
Taken without being blamed
Falsified spirits farther they fall
Soon they will join us in hell
See the sky burning the gates are ablaze
Satan awaits eager to merge
Gods on the throne must be watching from hell
Awaiting the mass genocide
Soldiers defeated by death from a smell
Bodies lie dormant no life
Rising new souls on the lands where they fell
Demons not ready to die
Nothing to see where the sleeping souls lie
Chemical warfare
Warfare!
7. Piranha
slicing jaws a way of life
brought up to waste mankind
loki's pets his little children
deadly eyery time
trapped in swamps by gates of hell
don't ever: let them out
for if you do and they escape
you'll fight a bloody bout
piranha kill in a pack - you'll run
piranha start to attack - you'll done
if you think you can beat - deadly school
if you think you can live - vou're a fool
gates of hell are old and cracked
they tumble and they fall
out rush a bloody wall of death
to kill anything at all
their sole mission is t0 kill
strip your bones and flesh
rip out your eyes tear off your face
an agonizing death
piranha kill in a pack - you'll run
piranha start to attack - you're done
if you think you can beat - deadly school
if you think you can live - you're a fool
8. Metal Command
your gathered here tonight
to heed our metal. cry
obeying all. our wills
all others you defy
a wall of sonic sound
with amps turned up to ten
our legions are advancing
to battle once again
fists are in the air. banging everywhere
thrashing to the sound faces melting down
it s time to fight for metal tonight
bangers take your stand and obey
our metal command
we go from town to town
and leave a trail of death
and if you don't surrender
you'll breathe you final breath
there will be no survivors
no prisoners of war
join our ranks or perish
we'll slice you to the core
fists are in the air thrashing everywhere
banging to the sound, faces melting down
it s time to fight for metal tonight
bangers take your stand and obey
our metal command
our legions show no mercy
the final hour nears
sonic blast deafening
it's ripping through your ears
there is no retribution
for those who do not dare
there's only execution
your dead without a prayer
9. Exodus
it starts with life, a way to live
I love the sound of pain
the more it hurts the better I feel
the world will fall insane
it comes to me late late at night
when I feel like being cruel
whip out the chains and get the knife
and slay some innocent fool
get in our way and we're going to take your life
kick in your face and rape and murder your wife
plunder your town your homes they'll burn to the ground
you won't hear a sound until my knife's in your back
the exodus attack
the filthy sound of death and pain
brings pleasure that I need
the rotting hide the burning flesh
the smell and I agree
bloody corpse makes me feel great
painkiller in my life
cut bare flesh to the bone
use a rusty knife
get in our way and we're going to take your life
kick in your face and rape and murder your wife
plunder your town your homes they'll burn to the ground
you won't hear a sound until my knife's in your back
and the exodus attack
buzzards eat as well as worms
nature s death machines
pin you on the desert floor
now you re hell's cuisine
I tell you all it's the way to live
get stronger on death glory
infringing on sacrificial rites
death's your final story
10. Strike of the Beast
walking down the backstreets
the noon is full and high
you feel your body start to sweat
someone's about to die
you turn around and run
it's the only thing to do
someone's about to die
and that someone... is you
time to run or fight
off the strike of the beast
you hear the creature's hooves
start to echo through your brain
you fear the demon's hellish howl
it makes you go insane
you smell the creature's fowl stench
laced with death and waste
don't lose your mind he's right behind
breathing fire in your face
time to run or fight
off the strike of the beast
if you fail you'll be
the hellish demon's feast
black as night he begins his flight
wings outstretched in the cold
glowing eyes, he wears no disguise
his evil has yet to be told
breathing fire the beast is flying higher
now he swoops down on his prey
all the world a horrid mess
leaving black earth in decay
the beast prepares for battle
and you prepare to die
the blood running down your throat
dulls you woeful cry
you can feel the power rage within your soul
when you die you go to hell and live... forevermore
