1. Cursed
From the Golden seat of Ramses to the ending of the sacred Nile
The pharaohs of this ancient land the deserts cross countless miles
Inside the labyrinth where buried is the king his waiting maids countless gifts lie within
Mumified entombed the ancient scroll left to rot brain heart and soul
As they walk through the passages of endless night using sparsely the candles as their only light
Living only on the storages of food they brought no escape live to die becomes their only thought
Cursed buried deep inside the pyramid king Tutankhamun
Cursed where this grave is their only thing Kking Tutankhamun
As the years begin to close and food to nourish sparse insanity starts to reign to flourish in the dark
As they walk through the passages of endless time using sparsely the candles as their only light
Living only on the storages of food they brought no escape live to die becomes their only thought
Cursed buried deep inside the pyramid king Tutankhamun
Cursed where this grave is their only thing king Tutankhamun
And as they walk through the passages of endless night
Drawing nearer to the last nothing left inside the tomb
Except the braindead plight lost in histories of the past
Cursed buried deep inside the pyramid king Tuankhamun
Cursed where his grave is the only thing king Tutankhamun
Cursed buried deep inside the pyramid king buried deep inside the pyramid
Cursed buried deep inside the pyramid king buried deep inside the pyramid
2. Need To Kill
Beyond two thousand in the future wars beyond the limits of our mind
Central computer that control and know the simple weakness of mankind
Humanoid living in a structured will walking in a lifeless path
Motor with a need to kill need to kill need to kill
Searching through the wreckages of molten steel and glass seeing all in infra red and heavy in its mass
Terminate exterminate the son of Connor Reese you must prevent the bastard ever being born
Stop at nothing kill at will but rid the earth of this small child you must deter this fucking evil spawn
Mark the dogs for only they know your not human your ot flesh at all
Break the jaw before it speaks and kill the men that answer to its call
Justified in genocide and leave them in theiir broken pride until they realize that it's no use
Unsuspecting victim one guerilla fighter with a gun the terminator's finally been let loose
Try to run but only they know there's nowhere to run nowhere to hide
Cornered trapped by the death machine don't you go to sleep don't close your eyes ah
Beyond twp thousand in the future wars beyond the limits of our mind
Central computer, that control and know the simple weakness of mankind
And still the armies of robotic men crushing the humans in their path
Lifeless of pain and a void of sorrow create a crimson aftermath
3. In Memory Of (Paul Miller 1964-90)
He was in life as he was in death
A well remebered man
His life was taken like a sudden breath
that simply wasn't planned
And all that's left to say
Written on his grave it says:
In Memory Of
In all the essence of a friendship he,
was never so cold or sad
He tried so hard as he struggled in
What little time he had
No more return to home
Written on his stone it says
In Memory Of
And now he's gone all that's left behind
Is a legacy
In the pages of a magazine
Left in time to read
the only thing that's said
A memory of his life
Written at it's head it says
All this left behind
4. Wolverine
Deep in the dark of the forest came calls of sound from the wolverine
As they danced their wicked dance round the fire in a dead trance
Raising the chalice to the night darkly seek to their own delight
Sacrifice to the only son saving blood sip it one by one
Cleansing the altar awaiting the prize the virgin clad whiter than snow
Holding the mass and presenting the cross pointed inverted below
Doubles the blade in the cold and blessed night holds it above to be marked
Hammering down in the soft flesh below ripping and tearing the heart
Oh lord of this limbionic state take the prize we deliver to the gate
Cloven the demons cloak ascends from the earth this being never ends
As they fall to their knees and prey as the night reimburse the day
Colder than any mortal thing his hands stretch to infinity
All encompassing the flock there's no life in here any more
Deeper than hades he brings to his side the man who presented the mass
Questioning nothing the high priest is drawn kneels to his master's request
Talking his left hand and passing it slow he ponders the mortal before
Swiftly he moves and faster than hell he tears out this lunatics soul
Oh lord of this limbionic state take the prize we deliver to the gate
Cleansing the altar awaiting the prize the virgin clad whiter than snow
Holding the mass and presenting the cross pointed inverted below
Doubles the blade in the cold and blessed night holds it above to be marked
Hammering down in the soft flesh below ripping and tearing the heart
Oh lord of this limbionic state take this prize we deliver to the gate
Deep in the dark of the forest came calls of sound from the wolverine
5. Arachnid
The thouht of you has plagued my years
I see you now
Crawling all over me
Symptom of my darkest fears
With me now
Living inside of me
In the night
As you sleep
the web begins to form
Across your face to suffocate
And kill before the dawn
6. I'm Paralysed
Searching through regions of light here in my dark thoughts I call for you to come
Paralysed and fixed to the wall awaiting the judgement awaiting you to call out
I'm paralysed calling out I'm paralysed ah
There's no reason for me have gone only the clothing protecting me from me
Lost in this insane recall let me know I will be safe from my only way out
Calling out I'm paralysed ah calling out I'm paralysed ah
Now caught from pins in her hair biting and bending to sharpen up the point
Slipping it into the lock freeing myself to penetrate and cause death
I'm paralysed calling out I'm paralysed ah out
7. Crucified
Chain him jail him judge and crucify find him bind him nail him crucify
Raised boy the virgin is pure and good father to the race
Sinful in sodom with cold blind luster praying to the golden calf
Walking the land with twelve good men that follow talking the hand of one whose blind
Curing the lame causing mutes to speak miracles prevail to the open mind
Chain him jail him judge and crucify find him bind him nail him crucify
Saved for forty days and nights he roamed the desert sand
No food to nourish only faith temptations close at hand
Evil abounds in every footstep that he takes in the sand he must stay true
All this in vain because he'll die for sure saving the frame of all that's good
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
8. Into The Fire
Sleepless nights,drenched in sweat.
A lust for life,endless death.
We're dancing in the fire,
We're lost in the Flame.
We're lost in the Fire,
Nothing stays the same!
INTO THE FIRE!
INTO THE FIRE!
Day to night,night to day,
Lost in dreams,that fade away!
Into the fire,
We're dancing in the flame!
We're lost in the fire,
Well nothing stays the same!
INTO THE FIRE!
INTO THE FIRE!
In the night,alone and dark,deep within the source,
Tourtured feel the flames of Hell, rising to the cause!
Onbe,two,three,four!
All my life,drenched in pain!
All my needs,all the same.
We're dancing in the fire,
We're lost in the falme.
Dancing in the fire,
Well nothing stays the same!
INTO THE FIRE!
INTO THE FIRE!
INTO THE FIRE!
INTO THE FIRE!
INTO THE FIRE!
9. Riddle Of Steel
Hooded in the mists of time in distant lands of dust
Here they live and forge the steel that carves out human lust
Thulsa doom his flesh and bone control of all that's fake
Lifting head and staring eyes that guide the sinful snakes
The truth that lies within the riddle of steel
Where all our lives begin the riddle of steel
Armies of followers who are guided by his throne
Blindly walk to Thulsa's steps that foot the black kings home
On and on the warrior that stalks the beast that killed
The families of his friends and foe that fall unto his will
The truth that lies within the riddle of steel
Where all our lives begin the riddle of steel
Snakes that come together over palaces of pain
Gates of flesh that open up to let in acid rain
All the smells of blasphemy are deep within this hall
Writhing here in ecstasy awaiting Thulsa's call
Stretching out and forged in steel a blade drwn from his arm
Searching for the sacred neck to cure the world of harm
Slashing through the snakelike scales deep into the core
Splitting into bone and blood and settling the score
The truth that lies within the riddle of steel
Where all our lives begin the riddle of steel
Steel steel steel steel steel steel steel steel steel
10. Shadow King
The world we live in is silent lucid liquid change
The king appears well afraid aware in all his rage
He seeks to tell in unseen terror about poer life and lust
The rising power of Baphomet is all that he can trust ah
Hell on earth sadistic birth hell on earth
God bless all who sail in her this ship he built with fright
Pleasant in his infamy it sails into the night ah
Hell on earth sadistic birth hell on earth
Reasoning decay decides to plague the nurtured home
Redesign Colombus Isle where only kings will roam
The spirit lies in all we see and all that we can touch
He found the place where gods reside destroyed into the ancient dust ah
Hell on earth sadistic birth hell on earth
God bless all who sail in her this ship he built with fright
Pleasant in his infamy with cold and blistered sight ah
Hell on earth sadistic birth hell on earth hell on earth
The afterlife that mark the moons of distant silent stars
So on the quest the king is served golden in his light
Hell on earth sadistic birth hell on earth
Revealing yellowed manuscript in the shadow of the king
Written here in pages old the secrets of this thing
Imagination hanging by the lucid threads he claims
Where all around damnations lie they're locked inside his fevered brain
Hell on earth sadistic birth hell on earth
God bless all who sail in her this ship he built with fright
Pleasant in his infamy it sails into the night ah
Hell on earth sadistic birth hell on earth hell on earth
11. Trinity MCMXLV 0530
Here we stand as the forces blow
Across the land
Open minds and now open sores
But no open hand
Hiding in our trench of steel
To witness the blast
Nothing to say and now nothing to feel
Now it's hopeless and past
The wind that was meant to be
Oppenheimer built radioactivity
Buildings and houses crops and forethought
Have now gone to ground
All but the dust and the helpless debris
Are all that are found
Now his creation is purchased by gods
Who must reconvene
Deciding to cleanse the Earth of its life
By priming their own warmachine
Skil will grow soft blood will grow cold
But not on your frame
He mastered the deadliest weapon of all
But was he insane
He built it for life
He built it for peace
Oh that's what he thought
But evilness knows no boundaries
And satan will read from his court
12. Black Legions
High on a ridge where the darklord stands sending black legions to crush the lands
Captures of hades transporting the crown into the pit of this unholy row
Do it all alone down into Belial's home live then die Satan calls his evil child
Strengthens his force as the darkness falls laughs at the angels their feeble calls
High on their fortress that crumbles before all that in touch with the dark evil law
Do it all alone down into Belial's home strike the final chord hail unto the overlord
High on a ridge where the darklord stands sending black legions to crush the lands
Captures of hades transporting the crown ever further ever down into the pits of hell
Now in the bleakness the elders recant thinking of histories the ancients relent
Gathered in circles before their host there's no one soul he desires most.
Do it all alone way down into Belial's home strike a chord hail unto the overlord
13. Parasite
There was a time when hunger was mine,you'd walk the line.
You sowed the seed, your making us need,your watching us bleed,you bastard!
We always felt you were a better friend,with your riches and your smiles,
You helped me keep the wolves from the door,
You filled our heads so full of,Lies!
We always felt you were a better friend,with your iches and your smiles,
You helped to keep the wolves from the door,
You filled our heads so full of,Lies!
Parasite!
Parasite!
Life was a ball and you took it all,
We took a fall,
You were the doubt
You won't bail us out,there's no use to shout,Your dying!
We always felt you were a better friend,with your riches and your smiles,
You helped to keep the wolves from the door,
You filled our heads so full of,Lies!
We always felt you were a better friend,with your riches and your smiles,
You helped to keep the wolves from the door,
You filled our heads so full of,Lies!
Parasite!
A toffee for the kiddies,sugar and spice,
Just wait a minute fella,your anything but nice!
We always felt you were a better friend,with your riches and your smiles,
You helped to keep the wolves from the door,
You filled our heads so full of,Lies,
[Repeat]
Parasite!
Parasite!
Parasite!
Parasite!
14. Acid
My brain fed with ecstacy
Fills my need
As I feel my body burst with great speed
And I clench a needle in a blood drained fist
Then I turn and mark another trip off my list
Feel that rush, with that gold satanic dust
feel that pain, the drug induce through my veins
I will in life as I will in death
Sow the seeds with every breath
Never will I run, never will I hide
Only to express myself and feel it deep inside
Acid
Now I dream in comatose neuotic state
As my paranoia grows I must wait
Til the feeling of the drug starts to die
Then I'll hit the drug again, take me high
Feel that buzz, for all the goddam good it does
Feel the flight, that flies me in through day and night
Now inside my arteries there's no blood
15. Tribes
Memories fresh within my head
blood is fresh but you are dead
Cross into the freaks domain
See your fear feel your pain
The prophesy has now begun
You cannot hide you cannot run
Leave you bleeding at my feet
You are natural you are meat
Tribes
Below the graves
Breed
Refuge by day
Tribes
their home beneath
Breed
Alive but deceased
Blessed with the gift of flight
Changing shape and unseen sight
Knowing why and knowing when
Gifted with the dreams of men
Out of sight out of mind
Leave our world you're not of our kind
What he fears he can't enjoy
What man envies he destroys
Leave the garden of your torment
Through the gates that hold your fear
Monsters freaks the cursed the gifted
Day is gone the night is here
Death by fire death by gun
Death by knife death by sun
Born apart they crave the same
Living in their unreal pain
Prejudice deeper than creed
The reason for this hate is breed
Not unholy but alone
Just for this we burn their home
Banished from the world of men
Man beware they'll rise again
16. Even In Heaven
Led by a sacred feeling in my heart
I have left my evil ways to restart
Now I heard Eden call
I must try not to fall
All is good in heaven
But I want more
Am I stripped of evilness to the core
Now I hear the darkness say
Rise my son and do your work
Make them pay!
Even in heaven there's hell
Even in heaven
Brought by the holy son
Welcomed and blessed inside
Now that the dead's begun
Kneel o me or die, ha, ha, ha, ha
When the war is over
as it's just begun
Wehn your god has fallen
And Satan's work is done
I will sit at
his strong left side
with my head held high
and a wreath of pride
17. Kissing The Beast
Fixtures immensely beholding the force holy benevolence deadly remorse
Tearing the lining and saving the flow dropping the heartrate enclosing the soul
Lest we remember the deadly command hour upon us and close at hand
Now in our coldness our heart has begun needing the heat from the earth and the sun
Cold as ice trapped in the earth cold as ice needing the sun
Kissing the beast as he lies underneath scratching your heart with soulful belief
Awaiting the call to enrapture your life holding you still as he's holding the knife
Nine bladed sword as the whore can recall dissecting the innocent under the fall
Cracking the surface the air is still fresh only below us the mad stench of death
Kissing the beast as he lies underneath scratching your heart with soulful belief
Awaiting the call to enrapture your life holding you still as he's holding the knife
Lest we remember the deadly command hour upon us and close at hand
Now in our coldness our heart has begun needing the heat from the earth and the sun
Cold as ice trapped in the earth cold as ice needing the sun
Fixtures immensely beholding the force holy benevolence deadly remorse
Tearing the lining and saving the flow dropping the heartrate enclosing the soul
Nine bladed sword as the whore can recall dissecting the innocence under the fall
Cracking the surface the air is still fresh only below us the mad stench of death
A prince or a pauper or lunatic king son of a daughter shrouded in sin
His kingdom in madnness and sadness and shame
The song is still young and illusion's the game
