Enthrone me with death
And I'll be your poisonous soil
Dead chained shell
Blessing grotesque
I'll be your monument of death
Brimful of malevolence
Malicious lurks from inside
Its yearning call pierce me
Causing such furtile pain
All fenced in, enshrouded in dark
The cage in which I shelter
Renewal of life - of an abhorrent kind
Unleashing of beast
Redemptor - Unchain
I'll be your pestilence upon whoremaster - man
Behold the thousand eyes staring
Pale and grim
Tied with the devils snare
Black - Shining
So lacking in human warmth
Dim and distant
Renewal of life - of an abhorrent kind
Unleashing of beast
Redemptor - Unchain
I'll be your pestilence upon whoremaster – man
"Glorious Day"
Unleash the carnage on this glorious day
Monarch of the abyss rise
Come forth and strike with fear
The dead inherit and walk the earth
Damnation's choirs flagellate
Crown the tomb of foretold doom
Personified infidelity, embracing the beast
Gaze down from blood-red skies
Behold the worlds downfall
Welcome, oh glorious day
Unleash the bloodbath on this glorious day
Cleanse the world of feebles
Escape the seduction of the liar
Redemption that blind the eyes
Sanctimonium desolate, undone creation
Embrace this glorious day
Raging from down below
Images of the Anti-christ, a picture worth to bestow
Unleash the carnage on this glorious day
Monarch of the abyss rise
Come forth and strike with fear
The dead inherit and walk the earth
Unleash the bloodbath on this glorious day
Cleanse the world of feebles
Escape the seduction of the liar
Redemption that blind the eyes
Embrace this glorious day
A picture well worth to bestow
Behold the worlds downfall
Welcome, oh glorious day
"Genocide Angel"
Reveal thee unto us ravenously
When the cycle of night returns
Show us your savagery
Spread your wings in multitude fury
And greet us welcome, thy will
And so will come the day
Gather a caress all dead still upon the earth
No turn and flee... this is meant to be
Genocide angel - is there a reason for humanity
Genocide angel - this is meant to be
Genocide angel - man's time on earth is brief
Genocide angel - erase... to spend eternity
Manifest... demon-strate
Strike with razor-sharp precision
Cut of all threads of life
Make all creations end in dissolution
Is there a reason to give praise to humanity
When death may be the greatest of blessings...
...for all eternity
Genocide angel - is there a reason for humanity
Genocide angel - erase... to spend eternity
Memories go up in flames
Complete the circle, fulfil the purpose
This is the token, the mark of your bloodworks
Peace and silence... this was meant to be
"Crowned with Lamentable Creed"
Fools that went through the corridors of time
Visioned their judgement but still they are blind
The jester came while they slumbered and slept
Could not see what destitution they kept
Bleeding on the cross, all lies revealed
A fake to this world, unholy blood conceal
Hiding behind a mask of repentance
Crucified and divine, man's condemnation
Here you are split open wide, enlightened and glorified
Stripped and torned, disguised with cruelty
Summon the unholy three
An era of world domination now reach its end
Certain is death for the lost led astray
Prelude to madness, for man to resign
Whinning in lamentable creed
And he who suffered, did he suffer alone
With a smile considering his sins
His bloodstains besmear and defile our soil
A lupine grin marked his face
While he took his last moaning breath
Here you are split open wide, enlightened and glorified
Stripped and torned, disguised with cruelty
Summon the unholy three
Despised by the inner thoughts of man
Yet remembered... forgotten
"Death Is Mercy"
Does it hurt
To be beaten down with sledgehammer words
How does it feel
To be so low you can smell your own fucking feet
Is it safe
To bear up the burdensome words you carry...
...bury the truths and dig them up again
With hands tied, mouth sown, eyes shut
You can't release the bottomless anger
You can't know where the pain is from
It tears you apart piece by piece
It brings you down bit by bit
Slowly sinking into darkness
Not knowing you are barefoot and bleeding
No one opposes god save god himself
The work of an angel is the will god
You ain't no fucking angel, self-destructive fuck
Christendom will leave you in the divine light
With bloodstains on your chest
Do you sense the uncontrolled boiling rage
The uncontrolled boiling wrath
Does it hurt
To be beaten down with sledgehammer words
How does it feel
To be so low you can smell your own fucking feet
Is it safe
To bear up the burdensome words you carry...
...bury the truths and dig them up again
Again...
"Deprived of Everlasting Bliss"
Haul the coming creation, concealed within the shadows
The all-one that touch, the causeless accuser
Redecorated mindscapes, unlock and feed my soul
Cold design yet burning, the insinuated abuser
Devoid of sense and emotion
Devest, I’ll serve and obey
Come, swirl right through me
Plague me all the way
The terror grows greater and greater
Collecting the pieces, terrible and faceless
Aware of the suffering that occupy my heart
Deprived of everlasting bliss
Shrine through where substantial darkness lay
Scorn – without compassion and remorse
Excite me unto desires for wicked sins
Blasphemous – though me remain
Devoid of sense and emotion
Devest, I’ll serve and obey
Come, swirl right through me
Plague me all the way
Conquered and put to flight
Exhaled into being
Plague me all the way…
"Soul Affliction"
Holy men in grace of god
Bastard son’s, scum of the earth
Low-life worms, winding hypocrisy
Stained with the blood of the innocent
Deceivers in grace of god, deceptive slimes
Persecute the heretics, enemies to the church
With despise I spit your face
The fraternity of god
With soul affliction purify
I suffer my repentance
And curse this order, hypocrite order
Compelling confessions, inside I'm boiling
Hilarious laughter, subsist to defy
Lashes of the whip, shred the skin
Cleanse the blood, the imprisoned sin
Outstretched limbs tied on the rack
Glowing pins burst my eyes
A manifest of gods desire
Rend the veil and hear the call
Hear the call
Sparkling flames in grace of god
Consuming wrath devour the soul
A final curse spoken in tongues
Oh Master - bring damnation upon their souls
Let them drown in the lake of torment
Be hacked to death by the vultures of Hades
Strangled by the hands of the reaper
Ripped to shreds by the demons from hell
"Branded"
Genius of perversity, a source of the sublime
A touch of hell, a pleasurous pain that eternally lie
Dreadful form, synonymous with flesh
A lair that never ceases, claws that drags me out
Rise, from crawling on all fours
In pleasure and in pain I gasp for air
Sifting the scent of renewal
Overshadowed by the oneness, the dignity that burnt
Branded by the mark of the beast
I ride with the wicked, victorious and with triumph at hand
I tread the thorn clad paths, in torrid hate
I lead to ruin, with an abysmal stare
I long for decay, my wounds bleeds black
Absorb the entity - insidious anti-philanthropy
Accursed enobled - praising misanthopy
Branded... I fall... in ugly patters
Rise...again...in mental turmoil... to suck you dry
Branded...
Enter the realms of hell
I ride with the wicked, victorious and with triumph at hand
I tread the thorn clad paths, in torrid hate
I lead to ruin, with an abysmal stare
I long for decay, my wounds bleeds black
Branded... I fall... in ugly patters
Rise...again...in mental turmoil... to suck you dry
Branded...
"Grinding Black Madness"
Let misery and chaos be befallen
Storm through from subterranean realms
Deceit the world, bring forth tragedies
In ferocious passion, enmity a bless
Drawing all the taste of damnation
The smell of corruption
Grinding black madness
Pulsating black malice
Cleanse the kingdom, ravage the realms
Pull the strings in euphoria
The dawn of time, godless time
Burst into dust insensiont
The humanly vital condition inevitable is death
A constant unit, no one shall the other spare
Condemned to pass its time
Earth will meet the true face of death
Experience the terror, descend into horror
Towards the end it marches on
Behind the corner awaits the fall
The abrupt end of all
Grinding black madness
Pulsating black malice
"Revel in Misanthropy"
Hell is coming... I can sense it's coming
...I can feel it's coming
Hate injected downward spiral
Plant the seed of the corning of death
Ethical chaos tear asunder
Share and possess the common doom
Life breeds total death
Outrageous evil, cleanse erect
Simplicity corrode, morals rust
Compassion equals dust
Man strives for frailty
And the devil writhe in disgust
Man strives for imperfection
And the devil revel in misanthropy
The wolf will devour the lamb
And hell will turn to clarity
And sudden the greatest fall
Power and possess, an age fading fast
The last one of the flock, perish alone
Yet the futile are so funereal
Life breeds total death
Outrageous evil, cleanse erect
Simplicity corrode, morals rust
Compassion equals dust
Man strives for frailty
And the devil writhe in disgust
Man strives for imperfection
And the devil revel in misanthropy
The wolf has devoured the lamb
And hell is turning reality
...It will never end
