Hungry are the Damned
03:08
|
|

Trapped in a vacant place
With only scraps and water
Freezing cold and hunger
Devours sanity
The crisis is apparent
Help may not arrive
Abandoned with one choice
Eat human flesh or starve
Shards of broken glass
Pierce the frozen corpse
This body once your friend
Will now become your meal
Slice into remains
Swallow all your pride
Digest the meat you carve
How does it sit with you?
With Fortune's bitter smile
Your deeds are not in vain
You'll live another day
While others merely rot
Yes, you know the table's turned
As you find you can't subdue
The crippling guilt and shame
That now is eating you

Vengeance
04:23

You terrorize my homeland
Taking what was mine
A trail of blood and tears
Is all you leave behind
Only one thing pleases me
And that's to see you pay
I told you once, I told you twice
Never fuck with me
Now that I've gone mad
There's nothing you can do
The gates of hell have opened
And now they slam behind you
Your blood is all I need to satisfy my longing thirst
When you took my life you know you should have killed me first
Vengeance occupies my thoughts, I know this for a fact
That you'll never live to rue the day you ever crossed my path
I carry out your sentence
Useless are your pleas
Cause never will I ever show you
Any sympathy

Unholy Martyr
04:15
|
|

The time of distress draws near
One by one the seven seals will open
But we will be armed and prepared
So that our lives may be spared
Among us is one sent to spy
Find him and remove him from the premises
They plan to invade and seize
We will not be taken on our knees
Peacefully we have come
To take away your father
Peacefully we have come
For the unholy martyr
A crusade of mayhem and defiance
Subsequent failures to comply
Now their souls are charred by the flames
Forever with them the shame

Outbreak

The strain infects you deep inside
It is just a matter of time
Before the pain that makes you writhe
Makes you wish you weren't alive
Like a nightmare coming true
This killer wages war on you
There's not much more that you can do
In a nutshell, you are screwed
Incoherent visions of a mind that's gone insane
Many others wonder if you'll live another day
What will be the outcome of this infernal spell
Nobody knows for certain, but odds are a grim farewell
One million cuts from deep within
Blood starts seeping from your skin
A gruesome sight that makes you cringe
Time's winding down your chance is slim
On your face the look of fear
Your frightened eyes shed blood soaked tears
Death, he whispers in your ear
"Enough's enough, your life ends here"
To god above you cry for mercy but it never comes
Suffering in agony, it dawns on you, you know you're done
The sun now sets on you today, your soul is finally free
Close your eyes and have no fear for now you may rest in peace
The strain breaks out and multiplies
To find a host to victimize
Epidemic, there's no cure
Here to stay, lurking to this day

I Love the Guillotine
03:32
|
|
||
Scream now for your life
There is no end in sight
Except that which I permit
Your soul you must submit
Diagonal steel, hanging high
Just one way for you to die
I shall cleanse your sin
When your neck feels the wind
I love the guillotine
Hell in the heaven's death machine
Separate the body from the source
Of all the hate and all the wars
Stagnation of the soul and mind
Is why you now must die
Death for you is no illusion
Fear the queen of retribution
For the laws you've violated
She will have your head
Kneel before the god of gore
Your path is at its end
Your blood will be my currency
And all of it I'll spend

Projected Aggression

Alone I weep
Remorse is tearing me apart
Self-inflicted agony
Destruction of serenity
Clutching what is out of reach
Chasing nothing but a dream
I try to mend the broken seams
Anger and frustration mock me 'til I can't take anymore
Is this the end, or do I have the chance to be reborn?
The dawn is closing in, there's no telling what there is that one may find
Don't look back, what was then now is just a figment of the mind
Darkness follows
As the flames fall victim to the pouring rain
With nothing left
Solitude greets me and hope just passes by
Patience is thinning as I sit and wait
Redemption is distant and still it grows faint
The obsession dwindles, sanity's maintained
Yet for the life that I once lived a longing remains

Beware the Crooked Cop
04:54
|
|
||
A badge, a pledge: to serve and to protect
A phrase that once held meaning when the job deserved respect
The law was once a solace for the just
Long ago when officers were people you could trust
But now it seems it's gotten to their heads
Their sirens and their flashing lights: these are what I dread
Because you never know if the man behind the lights
Is just as fucking crooked as the crime he claims he fights
Well that's it.
The boys in blue, defenders of our rights
Greedy fucking bullies that have got us in their sights
The length of your hair or the color of your skin
Is all they need to see to know just how much shit you're in
Some are on the take, the rest are simply dicks
Relishing the chance to make some citizen their bitch
Just to squeeze another dollar in their pockets, does it matter
While their heads and their asses and their pension's getting fatter?
Well that's it.
The man has raised an iron fist to beat us to the ground
Our reaction to injustice is to take it lying down?
Only if we oppose it is it ever gonna stop
'Til then beware, BEWARE, beware the crooked cop
Selectively enforcing the most trivial misdemeanors
While murderers and rapists run free
Petty drug offenses, traffic tickets, volume ordinances
These are your priority?
Incarcerate the criminals, bring honor to the system
That once cleaned our streets of all of its sleaze
And leave law-abiding citizens the right to drink our beer
And play our music just as loud as we please!
Seems law enforcement's purpose is to make our lives a hell
They will not rest 'til each of us are rotting in a cell
And if we don't oppose it, well it's never gonna stop
'Til then beware, BEWARE, beware the crooked cop
A flash of the badge is all you'll see
Before you're beaten senselessly
For not adhering to the norm
Laughing they will throw you in a cage
Where you'll sleep and shit and age
Until they say you've been reformed
Picking up the pieces of your brain
Coping if you're not insane
From their administrative pain
You try to get your life back on its track
But pigs won't cut you any slack
And so it all begins again
Corruption is becoming just a symbol of the shield
As cops abuse the power we've entrusted them to wield
Why aren't we opposing this? It's never gonna stop unless
We ram our boots straight up the ass of every fucking crooked cop
Take a stand, prove we're the Man and it ain't them anymore
Ensure that your defiant fist is used for what it's for
Perhaps we can oppose it, maybe it can be stopped
'Til then beware, BEWARE, beware the crooked cop
Awash in blissful ignorance, do we really think it's fine?
To this dear friends, a warning true: beware these crooked swine
And don't believe the old cliché, I know that pigs can fly
Above the law, while us below look up and curse the sky

In a far off land
Where Muhammed meets the Lord
A prince is born of blood
To live a life of scorn
Many have since walked in his ways
He's carved such a path that one could walk for days
His name is the son, the son of the snake
Vlad is his name, the sire of the stake
With the heat of hell burning in his veins
He shall impale, the grass will be stained
Condemned to be raised by the whip of the Turks
So his father could appease a people of no worth
Little does he know that when he dies
His son shall return to a trumpet's call of cries
With the heat of hell burning in his veins
He shall impale, the grass will be stained
With the blood of all who dare oppose him
Son of blood, bringer of woes
So many terrors one could tell
Of just what happened when Vlad returned from hell
From a grail to a stake, I'd rather die
Before I'd eat with him, let me tell you why
He loves the smell of death when he dines
But don't complain, he'll see it as a sign
Oh how generous he is to your pleas
Holding you to a higher standard for all to sea
Opening doors to the poor
Bring them in from the cold
Asking if they're hungry
Wait until they're sold
Leave them behind
With deprived, empty eyes
Feeding them flames
Go along with the cries
Enchant the town square with a chalice most high
Ripe for the taking if you dare try
Even kings are amazed at what they see
That Tepes' blood terror can even overcome greed
No matter how fatal his terror could be
He still succumbed to the will of mortality
No one knows just how he fell
Fallen in battle or swallowed up in hell
Either fucking way, he's dead as shit
And he's given me some rhymes I can spit
So the name of the devil might not be forgotten
Here's to the Impaler wherever he's rotting

*The Summoning*
(instrumental)
*Litany of Woes*
Welcome sinner to this place
Your judgment has arrived
They've deemed your faith defective
And our counsel they've prescribed
Forgive my sanctimony if I
Declare your future grave
But I fear your life is surely lost
If you're soul's unfit to save
It seems to me it's heresy
For which you are to blame
Infected with temptation
You've disgraced our sacred name
Our holy creed's in atrophy
Our flock you've led astray
With words of slander. In contempt
You've wracked them with dismay
A heretic! It's clear that you're
Enraptured in your lies
Content ensnaring countless fools
In the evils you've devised
Reflection is the devil's logic
It's knowledge not required
Our holy words and precepts are
What you should have admired
There seems to be no remedy
For which you are accused
It's our "infallibilities"
Through which you're to be used
And ours alone! Die not in vain
Confess your insurrection
Or do despair, your soul prepare
For spiritual dissection
Hear me now you pious thieves
The pilfer value from beliefs
Though golden is the road you pave
It's all the straighter to the grave
Your path is not the only way
You've only led yourselves astray
Apostle I am nevermore
Disciple of my own accord
Farewell sinner leave this place
It's time to meet your maker
Though Mercy pleads with outstretched hand
You still choose to forsake her
We're sorry we've no sympathy
By which you'd be redeemed
We've only agony divine
Of which you've never dreamed
As you can see it's our decree
You'll suffer for your crime
Your expression, unrepentant, though
It shall distort in time
Blasphemy! Catastrophe!
You've forfeit your salvation
Your sins, irreconcilable
Condemned to immolation!
