The Void 04:17
You faced a mirror of yourself Set foot within cerebral hell In the darkest reaches of your mind Released the demons long confined Drained of will to carry on Survived the night but not the dawn Though rays of light through darkness shine They could not pierce a shattered mind Grudging shadows drag you down Within your memories you drown Though your flesh is but a shell Within the void your soul shall dwell The skin will rot but spirit shall remain Atonement in the pits of hell awaits Forever dying but never dead Judgment lies ahead Unto the void eternally condemned Banished from the realm of mortal men A soul that once sought retribution Suffers endless execution The skin will rot but spirit shall remain Atonement in the pits of hell awaits Forever dying but never dead Torture lies ahead Unto the void eternally condemned Banished from the realm of mortal men A soul that once sought retribution Suffers endless execution

The Omen 03:36
Prophecy foretells of hell reborn When from the reign of heaven earth is torn Raised on earth, yet of a jackal born Satan's son will wage his final war Rise Formed of flesh unholy demon Dormant he will lie Rise Seek the path to earthly power Await your time to strike Damien is born and marked six hundred sixty six Earthbound to deliver pain Satan would inflict Three stars shall align once more, Nazarene descends Armageddon dawns and brings their conflict to an end Seven daggers from Megiddo drawn To purify a soul of evil spawned God's disciples wield the holy blades Crusading onwards to uphold their faith Rise Overcome the blessed minions Nullify their might Rise Spill their blood upon the altar Strike them from the light Damien is born and marked six hundred sixty six Earthbound to deliver pain Satan would inflict Three stars shall align once more, Nazarene descends Armageddon dawns and brings their conflict to an end Torn from sleep, as Revelations had foretold Nazarene, hiding within a mortal soul Take the life of every infant born this day Purge the Lord, eons of darkness lie in wait Celestial bodies align The second coming of Christ Son of god, shrouded in holy light, descends Tear him down, deliver the saviour to his end Devil's hand reaches to where the holy dwell Blessed ones cast to the burning pits of hell Unable to retreat The holy lie in defeat Nazarene scorched and slain Upon the earth Satan reigns

For Glory 04:07
We march toward the red horizon With the heads of wise men and the dead beside them All in our paths shall bend to violence When the heads are flying from the men beside them Adorn the ornaments of war Built for the born intent to gore With every cut the blood with soar Our thirst for blood is evermore Pay no regard to wrong or right Our moral compass out of sight Wage war for the glory of the fight Kneel for a victorious new night Admiring all the cuts from swords We find our lust for gore matches our lust for warring At last our thirst for blood is satisfied And none shall last this time, all fall to madness Adorn the ornaments of war Built for the born intent to gore With every cut the blood will soar Our thirst for blood is evermore Pay no regard to wrong or right Our moral compass out of sight Wage war for the glory of the fight Kneel for a victorious new night We have come here just for war With a thirst for blood and gore Quiver as I thrust my sword Helpless as your organs pour All hail the misery at hand Vultures are seeking the corpses for feeding We all take a look upon this gallery of death All hail the victory today Blood is running into rivers, bodies gutted deep and withered No graves, a monument of misery and pain Spill the blood Kill for glory

Rise, reign, rape, lie Fall, flee, bleed, die Repent, burn alive Curse the sky At the dawn of an age A deity will rise The saviour sent to answer sin A serpent in disguise Spawned of paranoia by a race that lives in fear They deceive themselves Heaven's gates open wide Mankind on it's knees Blindly they will give their life Forgiveness they will plead Haunted by the knowledge that their end is drawing near Face the threat of hell Say your prayers, see the light Believe in what you're told Live in fear of burning hell Beg to keep your soul From the minds of fools and cowards terrified to die A tale is written promising an answer from the sky On the day when sin has come and time seems at an end Divinity will turn away and leave them all for dead When your faith is laid to waste Exposing heaven's fraud As the mighty fall from grace I will fear no God At the end of the age Freedom now will rise Earth and heaven shall divide Your God is left to die Judgment day has come and man must face what he has spawned God's true will revealed Death to all who oppose They've gone against the light Burn them for eternity They're paying with their lives From the minds of those betrayed who once would give their life Now shall come a vengeful will to tear apart the sky Slaves become the masters of the ghost they once beheld Stricken from the light and cast into the pits of hell When your faith is laid to waste Exposing heaven's fraud As the mighty fall from grace I will fear no God

Servitude 04:47
Compromise to fit in the fools Your life by someone else's rules Empathize, but only when they say You'll trade yourself to play their game Mind control, free thought is cast aside Sheltered by a hollow sense of pride Brainwashed, forget all you have learned All follow the wisdom of the herd Remembering the way you used to be A time when your mind and thoughts were free Dignity has long since been replaced And swallowed by shame and disgrace Fall in line Insubordination will be countered with exile Live the lie Open minds confined and executed without trial Servitude You'll never make it if you cannot learn to follow others Subliminal slavery Denial leaves you blind to the life you left behind Close your eyes Judge the free, tell them all they ought to be Release your mind The shame you feel within is just the price of fitting in Servitude You'll never make it if you cannot learn to follow others Subliminal slavery Denial leaves you blind to the life you left behind Fall in line Insubordination will be countered with exile Live the lie Open minds confined and executed without trial Compromise Fall in line and live the lie Subliminal slavery Close your eyes and release your mind

Broken down, I stand prepared to watch my world dissolve Unjust, uneducated hate dictating your life Blind ignorance, the enemy of reason, poisoning your mind Herd mentality destroying free thought, they decide what's right I will not bow before you, this is a will that you cannot break I see those that fell before me, I won't make their mistakes Half-truths and propaganda spill from ruling tongues Remain blind and believe the lie, forget what they have done My path is mine to choose, your laws can't hold me down Conviction that will never fail forever drives me on I will not bow before you, this is a will that you cannot break I see those that fell before me, I won't make their mistakes Try as you will, you will not break me You face the wrath of a beast uncaged My anger builds with every action Your lies only feed my rage Bigotry rots you from the inside Eating away what you claim to be Your inner doubt forced to the surface Exposing all that you've been made Firmly I stand, I transcend your judgment You cannot kill what exceeds your power You cannot alter what you fail to see I transcend you Transcend your judgment

Neckbreaker 04:03
Armour-clad, mace in hand, the harbinger of dread He will not rest a moment till his enemies are dead Relentless conquest lays all he sees to waste The neckbreaker advances, no enemy is safe Crushing skills in vicious revelry Painting battlefields with the blood of his enemies Against his onslaught many fools shall ride With dignity, but still as fools, they die Master of your terror and the bringer of your pain Gripped by fear are all who hear or dare to speak his name Flesh from bone he'll tear and blood into the land he'll drain Driven by the echoed screams of all he's slain Legions have perished by his hand, bestowing death throughout the land No escape as darkness ends the day, by the twilight he shall slay No escape when it's your turn to die Cowards flee but they can't prolong their life Each step one closer to the grave From death they won't be saved Crushing skulls in vicious revelry Painting battlefields with the blood of his enemies Against his onslaught many fools shall ride With dignity, but still as fools, they die Insatiable rage welling up and controlling his brain Overcome by the urge to lacerate and maim Hatred flowing through his veins Darkness of a mind insane Some choose to stand and fight Courage won't spare their life Some choose to turn and flee In time they all shall bleed Hatred guiding every strike Darkness blotting out the light

Crushed beneath existence Dismal thoughts turn to the grave Overcome by darkness Ambition fades away Forced to face the cruelty Of a grim reality Aspirations to survive A pipe dream now it seems Longing for ascension To rise above this pain Nothing left to live for And nothing more to gain Crawling through the darkness Mind lost in a haze Illusions of clarity Reveal only a path unto The end, unveiled The night prevailed Your path is laid before you The air begins to chill The consciousness of those who've failed Manifests to test your will Fight for life With failure there is no escape The dying den forever will be your grave Staring through the shadows Malignant shapes take form Augmented terror Brings forth a vicious swarm The malice of the fallen Now threatens to consume Alone within your darkest thoughts The final test of course shall begin Now fight To save your life The spectres of your predecessors rise to bring your end Overcome the dying den or become one of them Fight for life With failure there is no escape The dying den forever will be your grave Step inside, eternity lies in wait Ascend or die, the den will decide your fate Overcome Master your life or else die

The air grows cold, the daylight fades The land overtaken by a spectral haze Terror grips the heart of men The Nine return to hunt again The North has fallen, it's kingdoms burn The Dunedain laid to waste To darkness shall the world return The age of man erased Kings of old, now enslaved Immortalized in shadow as their earthly bodies fade Blackened screams pierce the night Eternally in service of the tower of the eye Whispers of a dormant will Spread across the land, a threat of what will be instilled Wrath Of Angmar, heed the call The world of men shall fall Forged of gold, nine mighty rings Bestowed upon nine mighty kings Power great will surely come But all shall be slaves to the one Desire born of mortal greed Down the path of darkness leads Fall from honour, wraiths become To the dark lord's will succumb Kings of old, now enslaved Immortalized in shadow as their earthly bodies face Blackened screams pierce the night Eternally in service of the tower of the eye Whispers of a dormant will Spread across the land, a threat of what will be instilled Wrath of Angmar, heed the call The world of men shall fall Terror seeps into the soul Courage failing fast Black breath drains the heart of hope A haunting force amassed Kings of old, ghosts of dread Down the path of darkness tread Haunting screams, doom has come Drawn by whispers from the one Hope shall fall, Angmar rise Black breath hails, behold the Nine Darkness calls, evil spawns Mankind falls, the dark age dawns

White and gold adorn the bodies that hang Blood-soaked vestments and broken necks Countless bodies in jagged lines We will not be martyrs today Burn the churches, bleed the leaders, kill religion Cleanse the world of this plague Our lives for their deaths Throes of scorn, hope reborn The time has come to redefine What it means to be alive We have yearned for their fall We will burn and purge it all Blind no more, saw through their lies This is our fight, we decide We have yearned for their fall We will burn and purge it all Blood stains the ground Corpses around Death in the air No cross to bear All Gods shall fall Freedom to all Your road to pave No longer slaves There is no time to repent Bring forth the dead testament We have yearned for their fall We will burn and purge it all Now

Tragedy of life An entity to fear Drifting through the ages Year after endless year Searching for myself Within a sea of black Lost in the heart of darkness There is no turning back Open the floodgates Let the blood flow Unleash the fury Drown me in despair You tell me I'm too evil I say you're not enough Pain is all that I see Cause pain is all I know Better left alone And fighting day by day Than smothered by the parasites That waste your days away Break my body, crush my dreams My spirit will not fade Hope will be abandoned But strength will still remain Open the floodgates Let the blood flow Unleash the fury Drown me in despair You tell me I'm too evil I say you're not enough Pain is all that I see Cause pain is all I know A mask of purity To hide what lies behind Deception of the siren's song Had drawn me to your lies From what I've done I can't escape To what you are I can't relate My mind now free, once more I see Renounce your lie, it's time to die
