Brazen Bull
03:19
|
|
||
In the court of Agraka
There is judgement to be served
Sentenced to a traitor’s fate
You will get what you deserve
With every breath you just die a little more
Screaming
Choking
Burning
In the Belly of the Beast
Proud stands this brass tormentor
Ornate instrument of death
Channels your screams into a mighty roar
Charred flesh upon its breath
With every breath you shall wish you were never born
Brazen Bull

Valley of Defilement
02:44
|
|
||
Carried by vermin
Out from the catacombs
Black Death – Slow Doom
Ravaging hearth and home
Valley of Defilement
A poison rains down
From eternally dark skies
In mist and gloom – our village ruined
And the dead are piling high
|

Crypt Black Sword
02:43
|
|
||
Wielder of this Bastard Sword
Scourge of all the land
No Masters – No Lords
Crypt Black Sword in his hand
Bastard Sword - Crypt Black Sword
Steeped in dark like his cursed blade
No sun has graced his skin
Riding forth in a damned crusade
Hatred burning deep within
|

Vae Victis
03:28
|
|
||
My enemy’s blood – I’m covered in
Wildly swinging steel I ride
I leave a wake of total dismemberment
No one mourns the tears they cried
Vae Victis
Woe to the conquered
Vae Victis
Strewn entrails line our fortress walls
For all traitors and cowards to see
Drag the dead into our hallowed halls
Another grotesque victory
I stared into the abyss – and it stared back into me
|

Eternal Winter
03:49
|
|
||
I gaze out from the castle – survey the land
I rule with an Iron Fist – a cruel frigid hand
Spit forth a curse that can’t be stopped by those above
It slowly spreads devouring all you love
Eternal Winter
An artic storm
The grip of madness
Evil’s truest form
The fury in my eyes is insanity
My mind has snapped – no longer bound; I am free
Dark sorcery – in the eye of the storm I stand
Tear down this kingdom with my own bare hands
Eternal Winter falls on our land
Your bones ache from the chill
Forsaken by your Gods and Lords
Frozen - deathly still
Vainly reaching out in hope
No salvation to find
Only an empire of permafrost
It is maddening – these ties forever bind

Lepers
03:52
|
|
||
Of God’s Grace I am bereft
Cast in this pit to rot – just like the rest
My stinging eyes search for the sun
Another dying day has just begun
Sound the bells
These lands are cursed
Let them be warned
It's only getting worse
Sound the bells
These lands they bleed
Devoid of hope, and raped
By Humanity
Flesh begins to decompose
Crawl in futility – on brittle bones
My shredded throat cries out for God
No divine intervention for the sick and lost
Now I can see no light
Under corpses full of blight
I rip and tear desperately
Clawing through the dead to be free
Lepers

The Tyrant
04:29
|
|
||
The echoes
Of pain and agony
Through the halls
Of his sovereignty
Morbid Tales
The Emperor’s Returned
To trample our will
To see our bodies burned
We are but mortal men
Constructs of flesh and bone
Through blood-drenched deeds of war
Sculpting the Tyrant’s Throne
To remain in his grace
We do what must be done
Our souls strangled with sin
Sculpting the Tyrant’s Throne
The hallowed
Ground of the blessed dead
Defiled by
Our Lord of Holy dread
This divine right
To which he tightly grips
It must be wrested
If the scales are to tip
Obey the Tyranny
Worship the Heresy
All Hail Hypocrisy
Long Live Supremacy

Sea of Worms
03:12
|
|
||
A voyage doomed
Right from the start
Across the raging seas
Dark lands to chart
Look to the blood red sky
All omens and portents
We thought not to turn back
Blind in our arrogance
There are demons in the deep
Tearing away our sanity
...and transforming...
Land into rotting flesh
Life’s waters into worms
Steered headlong into madness
By the hand of Lucifer
All logic failed me now
My men’s souls as sacrifice
That I could rule this land
Was this my Hell or Paradise?
Am I damned?
Am I saved?
Is this life beyond the grave?
I take the sceptre
I take the throne
I take my rightful place
A King among the Worms

Molten Lord
03:31
|
|
||
Molten seas – blood red sky
I lurk beneath this Iron Keep
My ancient skin – my ember eyes
Wading through magma deep
I feel the shifting earth
I hear the groaning chains
My mighty fortress of emptiness
Begins to slip away
Silent watchers guard my iron halls
This roaring furnace like an igneous heart
Seat of my empire – impenetrable walls
It aches and cracks and starts to fall apart
|
||||

The God Hand
04:05
|
|
||
Torn from my Brothers – torn from myself
I bear the brand until the end of days
Plagued by the Demon Lords – the Masters of Fate
Among them stands he who betrayed
Maligned
Yet justified
Dear God, have you abandoned me?
Means and Ends
Revenge
Taste so bittersweet
Taking a Holy name – a blasphemous farce
Forsake your kin and curse your land
I scale this structure of bleeding rotten flesh
Look in my eyes – die by my hand
Feel the blade slicing so deep
Tear out your heart - your final vision is of me
