1. Hot Pursuit
BLOW MY TOP BELCH ASH AND FIRE,
CHOAKED SUN DAY TURNS NIGHT.
POUNDING WITH PANIC, PEASANTS POSSESSED,
SCREAMING AND RUNNING IN FRIGHT.
HOT PURSUIT, RUN IF YOU CAN,
I HAVE NO REMORSE FOR THE KILLING OF MAN.
HOT PURSUIT, RUN IF YOU WILL,
FOR DEATH IS MY AGENT AND I TEND TO KILL.
BLASTING AGAIN COMES A BUBBLING SCOURGE,
FIRES BURN FROM HOT MAGMA RAIN.
LIFE IS DEVOURED RIGHT INTO THE ASH,
IN TIME I WILL STRIKE ONCE AGAIN.
CHORUS
BUBBLE BUBBLE TOIL AND TROUBLE,
I CREAP DOWN THE BASE WITH MY FIRE.
SEARING YOUR SCREAMS IN A CAPSULE OF TIME.
FOSSIL FUEL FUNERAL PIRE.
CHORUS
2. Cycle of Change
FLESH ROTS, IN AGONY YOU WRITHE,
FROM THE INSIDE OUT, DECOMPOSING ALIVE.
CLENSING BEGINS, THE NATURAL SELECTION.
NO CURE BUT DEATH, PRAY IT COMES SWIFT,
DEATHTOLL INCREASES, FIGHT WITH TIME,
BEAT THE CYCLE, CYCLE OF CHANGE.
AGAINST THE CLOCK, FIGHT TO SURVIVE,
THE END IS NEAR, NO HOPE IN SIGHT,
BLOOD SEEPS FROM YOUR PORES,
RAGE OF INSANITY, BROUGHT ON THROUGH PAIN.
Man against nature, a fight he can’t win.Arrogance of the mind, the ultimate sin
Dispose of the bodies, cast upon flame <o:p></o:p>
Futile ways, to keep a world the same
CLENSING THE EARTH, PUGING THE IMPURE,
BEARER OF LIFE, BECOMES THE BRINGER OF DEATH.
CYCLE OF CHANGE, THE END IS NEAR,
THE ULTIMATE PRICE IS PAID FOR SURE, PAID FOR SURE.
3. Captivity
CONFINED ENCAGED ENTWINED ENSLAVED,
BROTHERS ENSNARED, BOUND IN CHAINS.
BROKEN SPIRITS OF TORTURED SOULS,
ANOTHER MIND LOST NOW INSANE.
HEARDED LIKE CATTLE TO CLAIM THE DAYS SLOP
EVEN THE MEAT HERE IS FAKE.
ARROUND EVERY CORNER A FAT LAZY COP,
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO TAKE.
CAPTIVITY, NO MAN SET FREE,
THIS IS INHUMANTIY,
EMPTY SHELL, IN CONCRETE CELL,
STRIPPED OF ALL DIGNITY
SEVERED FROM SOCIETY,
ENTOMBED ALIVE, NO MAN SHOULD BE.
ONCE INSIDE, STRIPPED OF ALL PRIDE,
NO MAN SHOULD BE, CAPTIVITY.
LIFE EVOLVES BEHIND THE WALLS,
TRANSFORMING MAN INTO BEAST.
OSTRACIZED, INSTATUTIONALIZED,
THE MOST TO EXPECT IS THE LEAST.
DAYCOUNTS RISE AS CALANDARS FALL,
TIME IS REDUCED BY THE DAY.
ANOTHER POOR SOUL GETS STUCK HERE FOR LIFE,
ANOTHER MAN CRUMBLES AWAY.
CHORUS
A HOLE EXISTS WITHIN ME,
EMPTY FOR SOMETIME.
WHEN THEY TOOK MY BROTHER,
THEY SENTENCED HIM A DIME.
FOUR CALANDARS DOWN AND FOUR TO GO,
BEFORE WE MEET AGAIN.
I WAS THERE WHEN HE WENT IN,
AND YOU BASTARDS, ILL BE THERE, IN THE END...
CHORUS
4. Welcome to the Pit
poisoned by hate
corrupted by fate
your end has become imminent
as you spiral toward hell’s gate
The stars spell out your book of life
Your doom stars written death
Resurrect reborn in flames
You’ve taken your last breath
Your flesh begins to melt away
Salvation has been denied
You hear the laugh of Lucifer
From which you cannot hide
In flaming baptism you reach the other side
Smell of burning flesh, piercing tortured crys.
Demons have no mercy
As your lungs get ripped right out
Looking back upon your life
An image you don’t want to see
Your ways have brought this upon you my friend
To rot eternally
The bells of hell begin to chime
Your soul is ripped to shreds
Eternally now you’re of the damned
The curse of the undead
So make yourself at home my friend
Youre trapped now in this shit
You have as much chance as a snowball here
Welcome to the flaming hole
Welcome to the PIT!
5. Pyroclastic Flow
6. Appease The Gods
Anger drifts in curls of smoke,
Death is in the air.
Mountainous god of madness,
Growls his warning to beware.
At the bottom victims gather,
The ground already hot.
Elder clansmen speculate,
On what just pissed him off.
Come on down, step right up,
You’re the next to die.
Offer human sacrifice,
Or kiss your ass goodbye.
Cast in to the fires of hell,
A paranoid façade.
Women, children, toss them all in,
We must appease the gods.
Atop the raging mountain,
Altar made of stone.
Terrified with ignorance,
Cast another in the cone.
Blinded by religion,
Worship that that kills,
Another innocent vaporized,
As Prophesy fulfills.
“What have we done to displease you?”
“Why are we forsaken?”
“What crimes have we committed?”
“What has caused you to awaken
Chorus
On your knees mere humans,
Witness now my wrath.
For the only mistake you could have made,
Was being in my path.
Then came the explosion,
Vesuvius blew its top.
Sacrificing all in its path,
As the red hot magma dropped.
You should have read my warning,
Get the fuck out of my way,
If mankind weren’t such idiots,
They’d still be here today.
7. Set Me Free (Insanity)
8. Ash Black Sun
Forget not this dark day,
Judgement day is here.
Growls of madness from deep in the earth,
Animals scatter in fear.
Unsuspecting victims’ fate,
Prophesy of death.
Exhumed centuries later,
My devastating breath.
BEHOLD NOW MY ASH BLACK SUN,
JOIN THE MASS DEMISE.
IN MINUTES DAY BECOMES NIGHT,
RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES.
MORTAL FOOLS THERE’S NO ESCAPE,
THERE IS NOWHERE TO RUN.
ATMOSPHERIC BLANKET OF DEATH
BEHOLD THIS ASH BLACK SUN.
Suffocating airborne debris,
Saturates the sky.
Asphyxiates life right in it’s tracks,
Its your turn to die.
The flat line n the horizon,
Taunts your every step.
Its laughter ringing in your ears,
The prophesy is kept.
CHORUS
Making the their way toward daylight,
Praying for one more gasp.
Stakes are high and chances are slim,
For escaping my smothering grasp
Some will live to tell the tale,
Of how I snuffed the day,
If you value your meager existence,
Stay the fuck out of my way.
Mothers and children lie weeping,
For their Armageddon had come.
Evidence conveniently buried in dust,
For centuries victims succumb…
