1. This Graveyard Earth
A massive amount of destruction
Coming through the end of the century
This perverted road to Hell
Was created by ourselves
The alliance against mankind
Has forced its gruesome powers
Only the bones will remain
Of our impure, damned existence
[REFRAIN:]
We made this world a graveyard
Buried in the dirt
But now its too late for repentance
This graveyard earth
Behold the final chapter
Aware of provoked things to come
Ashes fall from Bloodred skies
The last selection has begun
Termination for the sinners
None of them will be saved
Raging waters introduce the downfall
As revelations once have told
[REFRAIN]
After all, there's only silence
When nothing has survived
Dust clouds poison the wastelands
The age of eternal winter
Fall-out heavy like snow
Hell has opened its doors
What lies beyond our gods
Leaving us raped in pain.
2. Mankind's Darkest Day
Some say our world will end in fire; some say, in ice
What if it silently fades away, for nobody to recognize?
When compassion gets lost in vulcans of rage
The last prayer seems like an icon of a lost decade
[REFRAIN:]
Some still try to avoid the darkest day
The fight unnoticed of the masses that have fallen
Can you see the light that points out of the darkness?
Or have you surrendered yourself to total hatred?
The world may end in a whisper, not a thunderous roar
But it may be as dead as after the atomic stroke
When caring about others disappears in clouds of dust
We will dwell alive in a grave the size of this earth
[REFRAIN]
When did we lose track, was it right from the start?
But that we did is for sure, no one can deny
When the last of the fighting kind gives in
We see our own demons dance
Among the tears that we cry.
3. The Thorn of Damnation
After a thousand eruptions, finally the thaw inserts
the clouds disappear, giving sight to a terrible truth
how many are there left? So far nobody knows
But the certainty of the great disaster, it will remain
[REFRAIN:]
The thorn of damnation sits deep in human flesh
To pluck it out, you have to reach deep
Will we try?
The souls that still walk the deserted earth
wonder if life will shine as grace, or as a curse
a new chance is there to rebuild this now hostile planet
will they avoid religious fanatism this time?
[REFRAIN]
A dark shadow follows the path of the chosen
and if they succeed, will history repeat itself completely?
Because if so, torture, pain, and suffering
Will also reappear, and maybe existence
Will again become a living hell.
4. Deathchrist
He's creeping this living graveyard
On the search for negativity
The darkest souls provide him with infamous energy
Rotten thoughts, envy, jealousy, and hatred serve him well
He captures all evil that passes by along the way
[REFRAIN:]
Deathchrist - the sinister lord of reprisal
Just a travesty of what you like to believe
Deathchrist - an unrelenting hand to grab you
You will never learn greater treachery
No redemption from your sins - he consumes them
When you think salvation is near - he abuses you
The decline of your existence is already sealed
When you feel combustion rising within yourself
[REFRAIN]
Deathchrist!
Deathchrist!
Deathchrist!
Deathchrist!
His harvest will be the terrible fate of mankind
When his ambition is satisfied, the mission is concluded
the spawn of dispersal will soon be spit out
Armageddon is just a thousand deaths away
[REFRAIN]
Deathchrist!
Deathchrist!
Deathchrist!
5. The Capacity of Tragic
On barren wastelands, the distress lies uncovered
Discrepancy between the factions called for collapse
The root of disgrace lies in every single being
That ever stalked this earth so unworthy
[REFRAIN:]
Mankind will surely drift over the edge
The legacy of reproval intensifies itself
No more fertility, only interments expand
Forever we'll drown in pools of red
What makes a determined sinner try to believe
That the capacity of tragedy is unlimited
When we speak our sad and vain valediction
Who will be left to listen to this malediction?
[REFRAIN]
On barren wastelands, all perception fades away
the panic settles down, a form of stillness sets in
We wait for absolution that will never be given
and forever we'll drown in everlasting oblivion
[REFRAIN]
We will drown in pools of red.
6. Defy the Dark
Convulsions of fatal emphasis shatter your pale existence
You reach out for safety as the horizon becomes an illusion
Twilight interventions combine with undefined melancholy
You never figured one could fall so deep
Without ground in sight
[REFRAIN:]
If your intention is to defy the dark
Be prepared to step into the flames of damnation
Behind the walls of doom
You'll expect to meet your "saviour"
Or all hopes of remedy will disintegrate forever
"To believe in purity and absolution needs total proof.
If I'm unable to find such, why not try the opposite?
When there's light and salvation, their needs to be darkness
and in the dark, I now want to wander recklessly."
[REFRAIN]
Defy the dark - become an inmate to the fire
Be sure that you will not find your way back
Defy the dark - burn for all eternity
Convulsions of fatal emphasis shatter your pale existence
You reach out for safety as the horizon becomes an illusion
Twilight interventions combine with undefined melancholy
You never figured one could fall so deep
Without ground in sight.
7. The Demon's Breed
Unveiling the truth upon us all
We're awaiting the genocide
Another decade of hatred arises
While the tides are changing slow
Horrible ideologies and awful minds
Reign the supremacy of chaos
Ungodly abominations are still alive
Caused by the ways of decline
[REFRAIN:]
The demons' breed is what we are
The terrible side of evolution
Originators in the purest form
Crawling like snakes on this world
Breathing the wave of fire
It has come to crush all human souls
Until the final, endless night
Covering the earth forevermore
There's nothing that we can do
To change our certain fate
We sit and watch alone
Our last nocturnal Rising.
8. Among the Dead
I've seen your whole race drowning
Into the sea of blood and tears
I was there to hear their yearning
When the dead walked over rotten fields
With every single cry, it will feed on all my dreams
I am the undefeated, the rapture and disease
[REFRAIN:]
Let the dust reign over the landscapes
As the legions follow my call
Realize your final moment
I've possessed uncountless souls before
My powers have grown stronger, by pain and misery
I've blinded you with deceptions, for now it's hard to see
Gathering storms and poisoned winds
I send into your world
I am the undefeated, the last one and the third
[REFRAIN]
I've seen your whole race drowning
Into the sea of blood and tears
I was there to hear their yearning
When the dead walked over rotten fields
With every single cry, it will feed on all my dreams
I am the undefeated, the rapture and disease.
9. The Tempter of Destruction
Through a world made of stone
All faith has frozen over
On the passage of our doom
A hell on earth is what we have created
Who will survive these ruthless times
When belief has failed and nothing's left
In the heat of a thousand suns
The nuclear winter emerges
[REFRAIN:]
Beware the tempter of destruction
Fiend of slander and hate
Beware the tempter of destruction
Destroyer of fate
The thorn of anger is rising
And the revelations become true
Armageddon's descent is real
There's no remorse for the traitor
We made the false decisions
Constellation leads into the dark
Ashes will fall upon their heads
When there's no tomorrow for the sinner
[REFRAIN]
Worldwide damage means nothing to us
In our greed for strength and power
The curse is lasting on us all
Now there's nowhere left to turn
Storms destroy the landscapes
Woods and fields drift far away
Illusions of peace are buried
And darkness surrounds us forever
Beware.
10. The Realm of Torment
Out of the chaotic times, there grew a beast
A form of terror to strike down openly
The ultimate form of cynics that ever stalked the earth
Had left us wondering what lurks inside of us
[REFRAIN:]
The realm of torment - an admonition of eternity
Terror beyond belief - a warning of history
In the realm of torment, the mirror reflects black
No limitations for the evil that men do
The battered earth lies in ruins and ashes
Underneath the ground, traces of his reign of terror
Mass destruction as a routine act of warfare
Darkened souls lost the battle with conscience
[REFRAIN]
Decades later, this age of damnation stands uncovered
But the human mind is still not able to understand
The ultimate force of cynics that ever stalked the earth
Had left us wondering what lurks inside of us.
