Terror in eyes you pray with faltering faith
To a master deaf to your pitiful cries
In the span of a frantic heartbeat yours will end forever
An instant of elation as I smash your skull
I have gazed madness in the eyes
I have returned triumphant
Perverted persuasion and insultingly shallow faith
Your only salvation is oblivion
Assumed a liberty to dictate and judge the living and dead
Come the day your master will be flayed alive
This carrion stench reflecting your rotten minds and dying faith
Your collective lies like walking corpses
Your end is dawning, the night of the fallen
Words have been spoken to me
Master's will be done
Words have been spoken to me
Master's will be done
Will be done
Words have been spoken to me
Master's will be done
I have gazed madness in the eyes
I have returned triumphant
I have returned

Devoured By Hatred
04:25

We shall cleanse this land of taint
All means accepted
We shall bring them death
The efficient way
Prepared for annihilation
Pity is sickness when the nation's at war
The age-old enemies
Of all that is right and just
The fires are burning
We are devoured by hatred
Destroying this pest is a service
To the worthy ones
Generations to come will sing praise
In our bravery today
Prepared for annihilation
Pity is sickness when the nation's at war
The age-old enemies
Of all that is right and just
The fires are burning
We are devoured by hatred
We are cleansing this land of taint
Desperate means taken
We will watch the world burn
The efficient way
Prepared for annihilation
Pity is sickness when the nation's at war
The age-old enemies
Of all that is right and just
The fires are burning
We are devoured by hatred

Shadow and Flame
05:47
|
|
||
Scourging the light
Burning whip of many thongs
Fathomless hatred
The will to strike the world in flames
World in flames
Slayer of elven kings
In caverns at the roots of the earth
Terror of the first age
Valraukar, the scourges of fire
In shadowy might
Corrupted spirit of fire
The Maiar of destruction
Immortal dread oppressor
Spreads his shadowy wings
Shadow and flame

Hour of the Raven
05:41
|
|
||
To pledge my self to realm of night
Lights of dawn are knives on the throat
Shadows like a caress on my skin
Pay the toll for your damned breed
Watch helplessly as the world withers to nothing
Come the hour of the raven you will see
How wrong you are in your conviction
The blackness has come and joined with this world
We stand vigil before the adversary
Now you'll be surprised of how far these shadows can reach
Pay the toll for your damned breed
Watch helplessly as the world withers to nothing
Come the hour of the raven you will see
How wrong you are in your conviction
The dusk brings us peace and fullfilment
A renewed clarity of mind
Not a tear will be shed for the memory of old
Come the hour of the raven you will taste
The sweet allure of night's advent

To the farthest reaches of the mind
Disbelief in reality maintains sanity
Why do the doors that remain forever shut
Always have the greatest allure
The tyranny of false will cannot end
As though deserted by thought the wheel turns
Our legacy will be written in the blood we shed
Never forgotten, the graves will stand in proof
Inside, the world begins to shatter
Uncertainty seeps, a cemetery of failures
Pinned down by the slowing pace of time
Above me, the doors are waiting agape
In league with the adversary we wait for our judgment
A pact of blood and spirit binds us to the world
To the furthest reaches of the mind we are forever without a servant's mark
To take path of the fallen one is to embrace the night

Tormentor of the Weak
03:49
|
|
||
Blinding light from god
Distorting all senses
Fanatic in faith
Aroused by the stench of blood
Mangling and maiming
Gutting and raping
Holy man does his purging work
Exorcism through suffering
Bloodstained hands making the sign of the cross
Abacination
Scalping and castration
The guilty will soon confess their crimes
Flagellation
Flaying and mutilation
Confession will be ripped out with their tongue
Burn the heretics
Hang the blasphemers
Rest assured
God will spare the innocent from pain
I am the wrath god
Bringer of judgement upon all
Persecutor of the living
Incarnation of satan
I am the wrath god
Bringer of judgement upon all
Persecutor of the living
Inflictor of pain
I am the wrath god
Bringer of judgement upon all
Persecutor of living
Tormentor of the weak

The Way of the Deceiver
04:02
|
|
||
The road to the kingdom high
Is paved with corpses
Its flagstones fashioned
Of the bones of the false
Hail to the deceiver
Who sends man against his brother
Who delights in the death of his children
Praised be his madness
Hail to the guardians of faith
The guardians of filth
The texture of a faithful soul
Is impure and foul
It leeches upon the lives
It preaches against
Hail to the deceiver
Who sends man against his brother
Who delights in the death of his children
Praised be his madness
Hail to the guardians of faith
The guardians of taint
The way to the kingdom high
Is paved with corpses
Its flagstones fashioned
Of the bones of the false
Hail to the guardians of faith
The guardians of filth

Illusions Dead
06:04
|
|

Awaken to embrace the night
The divine aurora ends
It was ever merely the knife
To sever the arteries of men
You serpents have betrayed
Your barbarous nature
You have been devising
Your own dissolution
Dynamic divine abstraction
Deity progresses into nothingness
Only self-conceived, a thorn
In the flesh of humanity
You serpents have betrayed
Your barbarous nature
You have been devising
Your own dissolution
Lies abate and god yields to truth
Your conviction turns to shame
My heart awash with bile
Mind driven for penance
May this world broken and weary
Be devoured by the night
God's presence recedes
Your faith turns to disgrace
My heart awash with bile
Mind driven for penance
May this world broken and weary
Be devoured by the night
