01 BURNT OFFERINGS

(7:22)

In one last breath you'll feel this damned old soul
You'll see the things I see
For all these years of pain and sacrifice
You'll know the pain I know
Of all these things I offer unto you
Infernal wisdom waits
Now unleashed like the flames of hate
My sacrifice is made

Every note and every word you hear
Comes from deep within
An angry soul that twists and turns inside
Pondering this life
Crimson eyes staring through your lies
Awakes the inner rage
Take my knife, make my sacrifice
You're my burnt offering

Spill your blood, offer me good omen
Make the sacrifice, the hour is close at hand
Burn your soul, offer me good omen
Take your very life, this I command

Dark shadows fall on this sacred ground
Where true evil lies, summon them to rise
Take the traitors, thieves and liars
Feed them to the fire
But first, spread their blood around
The message will be found
Walk carefully my friend stab my back again
A warning from the sky
(Fuck with us, and die)

These are not idle threats my friends
We're slaughtering the lambs
True vengeance is on the rise
The traitors shall be damned
Cast their bodies to the flames

Spill your blood, offer me good omen
Make the sacrifice, the hour is close at hand
Burn your soul, offer me good omen
Take your very life, this I command

Spill your blood, offer me good omen
Make the sacrifice, the hour is close at hand
Burn your soul, offer me good omen
Take your very life, this I command

(Fading)
Spill your blood, offer me good omen
Make the sacrifice, the hour is close at hand
(Fade Out)

02 LAST DECEMBER

(3:24)

The howling winds blow on this moonlit night
Eyes locked in fear with a dark embrace
The bitter cold winds freeze the tears that fall
Hands held in grace as we take the final step

Obsessed with our love, here is our fate
To heed the final call on this special winter day
A message to our elders they surely won't forget
Our love must last forever, in death we shall not part

It seems like only yesterday, our lives together planned
They say it's just a passing phase, we're damned by our youth
Why does no one understand what we have is real
This is not your average love, it's forever, it's forver

Last December
(Mother you have forced us here)
Last December
(Father now we'll disappear)
Last December
(One last step, we fade away)

So we take the final step
Heed the final call
Together we are strong
Divided we must fall
Teenage suicide
Our only way out
Together we might live
Divided we must fall

Last December
(Mother you have forced us here)
Last December
(Father now we'll disappear)
Last December
(One last step, we fade away)

03 DIARY

(6:03)

Mine is pure darkness
It is as blackness is
Damn the light which comes from you
As a moth to flame, I burn

In the twilight of morning I rest my weary eyes
For the benefits of the nights bounty were many
My soul has been redeemed

I missed my love tonight
Hiding behind the figure I cannot bare to face
That of a dead prophet
And his beast of burden
Thorns ripping through his brow

Skin soft and white, eyes fire and ice
Just as I recall
(Not longer than nine score)
Certainly food for the gods
And fit for a prince
Her throats I'll have it now

I will have her, she is mine
Rise of the sun, my test of time
And when shadows fall on unholy ground
It's time to sleep again

As consciousness slips into blackness
I rise to nights warm embrace
And though my blood runs cold
I know my love will be alone
And my mortal heart shall beat again
Like it did ten thousand years ago

Forbidden love can only taste this sweet
Not like the others so incomplete
The symbolic arrow that pierces my heart
Takes the shape of a wooden stare

Now I'm the one crucified

For her immortal heart I would give my own
And die for mankind's sins
But that is not the nature of this beast
I am denied

I will have her, she is mine
Rise of the sun, my test of time
When shadows fall on unholy ground
I will make her mine

04 BRAINWASHED

(5:22)

And so we begin with another sin
The Earth's enslaved with hypocrites
They lay their heads to rest at night
Just say a little prayer and all is right

Christ, it's nothing personal, you've gotta see
They twist and turn your words
For their own needs
They're brainwashed puppets
The almighty crutch
Cowards of reality
And their dying love

Living life in total lies
(Judging others)
Believe that I say or burn in hell
Bow down your head
You won't feel so bad
Do as I say or burn in hell

Close your eyes, look deep inside
(Close your eyes, look deep inside)
Master of the ignorant, master of the lies
Judgment day is close at hand
(Judgment day is close at hand)
Generate that blasphemy
Master of the damned

Lies

Now behind your reflection
Lies the one who knows the truth
Your conscience will condemn you
On judgment day you'll lose

It seems very odd to me
How you sin and feel so free
And all you have to do is say
Forgive me, I believe

Lies, foolish lies
Behind your brainwashed eyes
Lies, foolish lies
Behind your brainwashed eyes

Judge me not, my shallow friend
Lest ye be judged yourself
You abuse the words you preach
You mold them for yourself
Brainwashed hypocrisy
Justifies the life you lead
Forgive me father, I have sinned
Lay my head to rest again
(Lay my head to rest)

Living life in total lies
(Judging others)
Believe what I say or burn in hell
Trust in me, say yes, I believe
Do it now or burn in hell

Close your eyes, look deep inside
Master of the ignorant, master of the lies
Judgement day is close at hand
Generate that blasphemy
Master of the dead
You lie

05 BURNING OASIS

(5:59)

Raging fire surrounds me
The embers seems to glow
Woman, man and serpent
Temptation fills her soul

Initiate the beginning
Of the end of paradise
Feel the flames engulf us
And breath a final sigh

Take the fruit
Let wisdom fill your soul
See the things I see
Know the things I know
The jungle is burning
With ambition so strong
To unleash my retribution
To heed the final call

I shall be wise

There's no way out now
No turning back
To gain infernal wisdom
No turning back

Priests of the fire release thee for thine inbred vengeance
The burning oasis has beckoned us all

Priests of the fire release thee for thine inbred vengeance
The burning oasis has beckoned us all

Priests of the fire release (thee)
Priests of the fire release (thee)
Priests of the fire release (thee)
Priests of the fire

06 CREATOR FAILURE

(6:02)

A lonely maiden stands
Bound to the obelisk
As she tugs and pulls, and tries to twist
Shackles slice her virgin wrists
Blood now covers her tiny hands

How does thou receive this fate
She asks of her own mind
Purity, innocence, encourage death
Life, gone is mine

I also ask of you my lord
Thy god in heaven
For I understand the error of man's ways
But of creation and the seven days
When was created the murky haze
From which the beast has risen

Fail me not my master
For this is your creation
Your son the bastard
Leviathan

Blackness, dripping stench
Unrelenting vice
Vile embellishment
Transcending pure evil

Standing now before her eyes
Wings expanding...she's going to die
Belching blue green fire
Flesh feeds the desire
The serpent Gods, apocalyptic smile

Come to me my demon brother
Of us both and our fathers
A failure of creation, abomination

07 THE PIERCED SPIRIT

(1:54)

Gaze upon me now
A desperate soul for all time
Bound forever to this barren land... desolate

My spirit has been pierced
So crucify if you must
But just recall, it's in your creed
Not to judge

Crucify me, I am the pierced spirit
Crucify me, for I know that you must
You must

08 DANTE'S INFERNO

(16:29)

Through the fiery caverns we sail
Virgil at my side, my guide and master
Questing through the nine plains of Hell
Infernal wisdom shall fill my soul
Slowly now the days departing
The darkened air releases me
Frightening visions of my journey
Entrance me to limbo
I'm not free

Abandon all hope who enter here
Enter the gates, Charon awaits

Abandon all hope who enter here
For this is where all things are left behind
Every doubt and every cowardice must die
Souls of rage and anger whipping in despair

The souls that wail on this plain pray for death
Denial is the reason for their suffering
Forever being stung by wasps and demons breath
The blood and tears that fall serve the maggots needs

Descention, thrusting to the second plain
Minos judges as his tail twines
Lustful thoughts and greed whip these wretched souls
A hurricane of hate mocks their helpless pleas

Drifting down deeper, into eternal flames
Awake at the third circle, the cold and filthy rain
Punished for their gluttony, languid for all time
The earth it stinks of corpses, damned for all time
The vicious beast Cerebus, three heads, blooded eyes
Tears his talons through the air, all the sinners cry now
All the sinners cry

Down, be still thy cursed wolf
The master scorns its name
Dive to the next plain
The sullen and the vain
Suffer for their greed
The prodigal they bleed
For all eternity
Plutus holds the key

(Chanting - sounds like:)
(Zahnah..zantus snah mey..zeenah hotoh..zahnta nahnay)
(Zahnah..zantus snah mey..zeenah hotoh..zahnta nahnay)

Damned, the wrathful and the vain
Suffer the fifth plain
Cross the river Styx
Heed your crucifix
The mudded corpses cry
Howling to the sky
Reach the other side
Open wide the gate

(Chanting - sounds like:)
(Zahnah..zantus snah mey..zeenah hotoh..zahnta nahnay)
(Zahnah..zantus snah mey..zeenah hotoh..zahnta nahnay)

Enter the sixth circle of barren land and flames
Passing through the gate of dis the furies scream her name
Belching forth in agony invoking her to rise
The spirit's rage consuming us, the evil in their cries
Queen of vipers, queen of serpents
Cast their souls to stone
Spread the wealth of Gorgon's power
Medusa's inner soul

We're drawing ever closer to the seventh hell
They violate their neighbors, their god and themselves
We're sailing slowly through the boiling river of blood
Immersed in the depths below, souls scream in agony
The twisted beast he laughs, he draws his arrow back
His sights on anyone exposing of their flesh
He impales their hearts with ease and shrugs their piercing screams
Pity is they'll never die, they'll suffer here, eternally

(Chanting - sounds like:)
(Zime come sate dive)
(Zime come sate dive)
(Zime come sate dive)
(Zime come sate dive)

Lucifer....Natas....Mephisto....Natas....Naphime....Natas
Imagine a place where every horror comes to life
Where every torture is real and time stands still
Eight fiery steps and we're closer to the end

In a cold and timeless grave buried head first in shit
Praying all the while for a quick and painless death
Scratching furiously at scabbed and oozing wounds

Lucifer, angel of light
Cast below, god of ice
Ruling hell unholy trinity
The traitors freeze for all eternity
Lucifer, betrayer of God
Tormentor, ruthless and cold
Judas' screaming here in agony
The traitors freeze for all eternity
