1. Angel Dust (Demo, 1980)
Living
Running,
Out on the streets at night,
Searching,
Hoping,
For the right connection, coz',
Need it, want it,
You know I've got to have it,
Takes me higher than anything I know.
Angel Dust,
Need a shot to see me through the day,
Angel Dust,
Want a lot I've got to get away.
I live my life,
Like there's no tomorrow,
Take no
chances
I'm drowning all my sorrows coz' I,
Need it, want it,
You know I've got to have it,
Takes me higher than anything I know.
Laughing,
Crying,
Every night and day,
I know,
You know,
That I'm a different man because I,
Need it, want it,
You know I've got to have it,
Takes me higher than anything I know.
2. Raise The Dead (Demo, 1980)
Rising from my deadly tomb I've got
maddened eyes with fright
fingers bleeding fast heart beating
the moons my only light
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
If God won't have me, then the Devil must
CHORUS: we will raise the dead
we will raise the dead
we will raise the dead
stop at nothing raise the dead
Gaze across the blackened yard
my mind is filled with dread
so give me all the powers of Hell
and I'll raise the dead
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The hotter the fire, the greater the lust
CHORUS:
I hear the star of the Necromancer
my blood is black and my heart doth bleed
I am infernal and my mind's in torment
I'll raise the dead make the world unclean
Laughing as my legions rise
control the zombies mind
I hold Hell close to my breast
I'm leaving God behind
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
I'll enter hellfire, I'll break the crust
CHORUS:
3. Red Light Fever (Demo, 1980)
I need a woman oh so bad,
You ever get the feeling you've been had,
You pay your money you pay the price,
You take a chance and it feels so nice,
Later maybe you wonder why,
This little lady's gonna suck you dry
Bitch
You walk the streets as the darkness falls,
You try to pass but the red light calls,
When it's done and you've had your fun,
You gotta treat yourself like number one,
Maybe, even though she treats me bad,
She's not the only one I've ever had,
Bitch
I need to feel it baby can't you see,
I need a girl to set my venom free,
I'm going in can't you feel,
Feels so good now I've broke the seal,
I tell you babe I'm never satisfied,
Aint gonna die for those tears you cried,
Bitch
Your makin love just like a young girl should,
You move me baby like no other could,
You give me love but I can see,
Your lovin' isn't only meant for me,
If it's a living what the hell,
I see you've only got your love to sell,
4. Buried Alive
I'm alive but dead, awake but asleep
As friend gather round and mourners they weep
My mind thinks of all the things I have done
My body is cold but my heart beat goes on
And on................and on
As they lower me down into that hole in the ground
I scream out for help but they hear not a sound
I fear at the lid, my fingers they bleed
Is this happening to me or is it just a dream
Summon the dead..........
Baphomets call...........
Blood on my hands........
"Let me out of here"
My bones are decayed, my flesh it doth rot
I'm lying in silk, take the lid off this box
My lungs gasp for air, my eyes scream for sight
I promise the rise of my body this night
Summon the dead..........
Baphomets call...........
Blood on my hands........
Screaming in torment.....
I'm felling you all......
Take heed of my plea.....
Answer my call...........
I'm gonna be free........
5. 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
6. At War With Satan
The dark silouette of the creature
poised, crouched on the corner of a cliffs edge
waits eagerly, eyes glare patiently.
Red eyes filled with fire and torment
gleam in the frenzied brightness
across the shadowed vallies below.
A crack of thunder breaks the deafening silence
which once ruled the planes, the creature is unmoved
by the commotion and the noise, and the blinding fork
of lightening which strikes only a few yards from where
lays it wait for something...
Satan laughs, wings spread to magnificent fullness,
the creature stands at full glory, inhaling deeply
the ice cold air each tender muscle rippling in
the almighty stench of the great dimentional diety...
Lucifer smiles, from the far far west a chariot of fire
emerges travelling at a tremendous speed toward the
creature, the creature laughs as if in an immense
state of frenzy the creature leaps up off the ridge
and hollers with dignity in the now cloudless sky
its long red hair blowing freely in the wind...
The chariot emerges and with a sharp swift movement
the creature takes the reigns and flies up into the
night, howling out immortal cries, a prediction
of war,
At war with Satan!
The warriors gather slowly around
The sacred city, Hell
Satan screams a vengance
On the land as the angels fell
Tyrants pray disaster for the
Land of love and trust
Demons plot a way to turn
The Heavens into dust.
The standard bearers chosen
From the mass of Satan's dogs
To hold the flag of Hades high
Defying all the gods
Satan laughs the words of war
The Heavens shake with fear
Armageddon sings his song
The battle's ever near.
Let the joyous celebrations of Hell begin
Who holds the keys to the seven gates?
Lucifer's demonic laughter
Assist our quest, Belial prays
free from Hell who serves the master
Sound the charge on Sabbaths day.
Charge!
Crest the demon's souls
Show yourselves in power
Angels fear resist
nothing holds the storm
Inform the grand master of Hades
Storm the gates!
Free from the pits of Hell
Slaves emerge the mountain
We shall destroy the accursed Heavens
Advance great legions strong
Crush the gates and enter free
Our lord of Hell must take God's throne
Heavenly inferno
Spread the message far...
Take to the skies!
Come on...
Frenzied demons - Angel's cries
Lucifer commands the orgy
Molten mayhem, one thousand lies
Heaven fails to hold tranquility
The brides of sin are wed
Their price, nine holy heads
White marble walls bleed red
Fuck the Bastards
Come on...
God's creation - all must see
Heavens Hell
God has fell
Sound the knell
Where time and space collide
Mortals sit and watch the tide
Of Angels crashing up against the sacred shore
Without the holy grail
Only evil can prevail
The church of God can't hide the truth no more
Can't see the light no more
Light up the skies...
The Demons ring the Sabbath bells
Rejoice the witches chant
Preper the sacrafice - by fire
The blood runs black through heavens shell
Declare the witches dance
Nothing shall suffice
The souls of Christ
Drag him through the whores!
Come on...
Come on...
Orgies filled with joyous laughter
Alters of the flesh
Equinox eternal glory
El descends in death
Satan's empire
A new born flaming star
Children screaming out in pain
Destroy the priests
Destroy their reign
Tyrant pledge the souls of legions
Sullen and remorse
Tana turns the key of life
To hear the thunder roar
Ancients gather amidst the stars
Mortals stare in fear
The Earth is damned beneath the mist
A veil of angels tears
White clouds of life are turning black
The virgin pure she fears attack
Come on...
You are damned...
Children of pleasure move
appear amongst us
The dark Lord has opened his jaws
Raise for Satanic queen
Ye sons and daughters
Take heed the flame forever learn
Now is come salvation
Strength and the kingdom of our
Satanic majesty
You'll always learn!
Are you damned in Hell?
Damned in Hell
Lilith holds the black heart in her hands
The blood flows
Desecration of God's holy shrine
Armageddon
Hahahahahhahaha
Pandamonium burns in the night
The Hell spawn
Celebrations at Sabbats galore
Unite with mother whore
Take that bitch
We shall not be destroyed...
Satan laughs, damnation has sunk its talons deep
into the womb of utopia spilling forth great streams
of virginal purity and bliss.
The golden throne of the tetgrammaton is ablaze,
Satanic majesty sits proud, the joyous drones of celebration
enact scenes of blasphemy, lust and destruction.
Raping the holy trinity the Sabbath chimes the tunes of bless
and sanity, the Heavens in their last throes of death.
Gabriel and his arc angels falling ever downwards through the
fires of pandemonium to the dark deserted depths of Hell
their broken bloodstained wings scorched the by raging inferno
lay battered by the shores of the styx.
Weary from the battle they seek refuge, bathing their wounds
in the blood of a million matyrs while celebration ringing
in the heavens grows strong the keys to the seven gates of Hell
lie momenterally unguarded.
Raging flames carved by the innocence of the angel's hearts
will release forth their wealth of centuries of God loving
souls once wronged of their destiny of Heaven's golden palace.
An unseen presence breaths never before pangs of mortal hatred
and anger deep into the pounding hearts of the angels.
Once more the creature is summoned to deliver a decleration of
war,
At war with Satan!
The angels gather slowly around
The sacred city Hell
Gabriel screams a vengence of the
Land as the angels fell
Matyrs prey disaster for the
Land of hate and scorn
The Angels curse the day the antichrist
Was ever born...
7. Warhead
Warhead - hear the thunder roar
Warhead - unite the lightning whore
Power burning - Hell & man
Raging torment - Take my hand
Frenzied motions - Reach your soul
Dance the warhead - Fast of slow
Born of thunder
Raised by fire
Call the heavens
By desire
Screaming furnace - Death of life
Demons calling - Chosen wives
Sabbats charming - Out in lust
Chance the warhead - Win or bust
Warhead - hear the thunder roar
Warhead - unite the lightning whore
Warhead - engraved on flesh & bone
Warhead - born of mortal stone
8. Manitou
Across infernal wastelands
Many miles of sunburnt Hell
Tribes are scattered limbs
And dust all laying as they fell
Open lies the challenge to all
Warriors now men
Let the spirits guide the winds
Until Manitou ascends
Manitou
Manitou
Manitou
Manitou
Watch the unseen burial
Eclipse the blazing skies
Feast the wings of death
With Manitou the soul shall vie
Distant beats the wardance
Echo screams out liberty
Patience stalks the crow
White man's scalp brings victory
Manitou
Manitou
Manitou
Manitou
Mighty be the powers
Of the old medicine man
Whispers of his raindance
Flow across the desert sands
Guardian of the elder spirit
Summoning the storm
Awaiting his arrival
Manitou of flesh is born
Manitou
Manitou
Manitou
Manitou
9. Under A Spell
You know she only plays beneath
the night of day
Weaving her deadly web of lies
to tempt her pray
Her deadly poison rots the reason
in your mind
You contribute towards the future
of her kind
Oh no - Don't you believe her -
Look out
She is the fire - Heavenly hell
You can't resist - Under her spell
So inviting - The angels fell
She lets you in - Under her spell
But you can't see behind the
schemes
You thought you'd fell into a
dream
You should have taken more care
Can't you see your dreams -
They're a nightmare
The angels fell - Heavenly hell -
Under a spell
Caught - Under a spell - Under a
spell
You know she's dangerous
between her smiles and grace
Her charms adventurous with
schizophrenic lies
And then her final trick the noose
that she has tied
Oh no - Don't you believe her -
Look out
She is the fire - Heavenly hell
You can't resist - Under her spell
So inviting - The angels fell
She lets you in - Under her spell
(Repeat Verse 1 & Chorus)
The angels fell - Heavenly hell -
Under a spell
Caught - Under a spell - Under a
spell
You're caught
10. Nothing Sacred *
11. Dead Love *
12. Welcome To Hell
Fight, we will fight right
Living low in a world of our own
Destined to live right, fight
We're taking hell as our home
Burning lives burning
Asking me for the mercy of god
Ancient cries crying
Acting fast upon the way of the dog
Welcome to hell
Welcome to hell
Welcome to hell
Welcome to hell
Kill we will kill death
Masturbating on the deeds we have done
Hell commands death kill
Argue not of feel the death of sun
Burning lives burning
Asking me for the mercy of god
Ancient cries crying
Acting fast upon the way of the dog
Welcome to hell
Welcome to hell
Welcome to hell
Welcome to hell
Leave your souls at his feet
Kiss the flames
Scorn defeat
Die we won't die live
Our choice of difference is what you'll never know
Mortal voids live die
Buried deep beneath the fall of the snow
Burning lives burning
Asking me for the mercy of god
Ancient cries crying
Acting fast upon the way of the dog
Welcome to hell
Welcome to hell
Welcome to hell
Welcome to hell
13. Black Metal
Black is the night, metal we fight
Power amps set to explode
Energy screams, magic and dreams
Satan records the first note.
We chime the hell, chaos and hell
Metal for maniacs pure.
Fast melting steel, fortune on wheels
For BLACK METAL
lay down your sold to the gods rock `n' roll
Freaking so wild, nobody's mild
Giving it all that you've got.
Wild is so right, metal tonight
Faster than over the top.
Open the door, enter hells core
Black is the code for tonight
Atomic force, feel no remorse
Trunk up the amps now it's night
BLACK METAL
lay down your soul to the gods rock `n' roll
metal ten fold through the deadly black hole
riding hells stallions bareback and free
faking our chances with raw energy
Come ride the night with us
Rock hard and fight
United my legions we stand
Freak hard and wild for us
Give up your souls
Live for the guest satans band
Against the adds, black metal gods
Fight to achieve our goal
Tasting a spell, leather and hell
Black metal gods rock `n' roll
Building up steam, nuclear screams
War-heads are ready to fight
Black leather hounds, faster than sound
Metal our purpose in life.
BLACK METAL
lay down your soul to the gods rock `n' roll
black metal
14. Countess Bathory (Live)
Welcoming the virgins fair, to live a noble life
In the castle known to all - the Count's infernal 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 Countess laughs and sips her wine - her skin doth crack and peel
But when nightime 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 turn 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
15. 1000 Days In Sodom
Unholy city a sinners delight
No-one was spared out of mind, out of sight
Hatred and slaughter, degredation and lust
Self destruction never counting the cost,
No-one knew the suffering
Behind the city walls
No-one heard the cry for help
No-one heard the call . .
One thousand days in sodom
One thousand days in sodom
The ways of god forgotten
One thousand days in sodom
Children slaughtered daily there mothers by their sides
No mercy given no matter how they cried
The smell of death was near
It's presence ever near
The priests lay bound in chains no-one would ever hear,
No-one knew the blasphemy
The torture and the pain
No-one saw the madness
The priests, they died in vain . .
Day completes its cycle and night takes on its role
Satan's cloak shrouds the land and his children spill their fold
No golden cross of heaven
Or ancient key of kings
Could save the world of sinners when the midnight sabbath rings
Few could hear the suffering
And the pain of ripping flesh
But those who did were damned in hell
And breathed their final breath . .
One thousand days
One thousand years you've lived your life in hell
16. Prime Evil
Prime,the first evolutionary plan,that spawned the first ever Superstition of man,
God created every atom that lives,but was he really there at all?
Evil,in every satanic scroll,In different forms to every race and blacker than coal,
He doth destroy every atom that lives but is he really there at all?
The Holy scribes foretold the destiny of man,
Living coldly on the earth, disrupting ancient plans.
Well is this what we are and what we have become,
Or is the only tie ,the way we die and how we had begun?
Prime Evil,an evolutionary call,
Prime Evil,quenched in the fires of their souls,
Prime Evil,you'll never see the sun again!
Danger,Danger,that's the human call,
Growing strong and aging wise,the race can only fall,
Well is this Holy anger,bleached upon our souls,
Is this the Evil One, Satan's son, Gabriel's foe?
Prime Evil,an evolutionary call,
Prime Evil,quenched in the fires of their souls,
Prime Evil,you'll never see the sun again!
[Solo]
Prime Evil,an evolutionary call,
Prime Evil,quenched in the fires of their souls,
Prime Evil,you'll never see the sun again!
[Repeat]
Prime Evil,
Quenched in the fires of their souls.
Prime Evil,
You'll never see the sun again!
Prime Evil.
