1. Sea Of Ignorance

Fools wearing blinders
Unaware of their surroundings
It has made them what they are
Looking for their own glory

Psyche consumes them
Covering the paths others have made
Followers trying to lead
Overfilling vessels
Only leading them to their demise

Waves of reality engrossing

Negative energy
Helpless from what is created
What they give is what they receive
Communication absent

No responsibility taken
Leaving all to the side
For things more important
Burning bridges

Built with trust
Contractual words exchanged
All for profit
Doomed to fail

2. 48 To 52

Yersinia pestis
Parasites living in rodents
Carriers infecting victims
Signs of sickness in days
Pneumonic attack, with fever and chills
Abdominal pain
Feeling breath shorten
6 out of 10 on every street
6 out of 10 in every family
5 million dead, in only 9 months
Taking the young, the rich and the poor
Middle ages
Bubonic symptoms
Lymph nodes enlarged
Bleeding skin, appears to be black
Thick vile mixed with green scum
Granting remission of sin
To all that will die
6 out of 10 on every street
6 out of 10 in every family
5 million dead, in only 9 months
Taking the young, the rich and the poor

3. Fatal Cure

Since the beginning of man
Survival of the fittest
Overcoming all in its path
War and pain
No regards for its destruction
Medical breakthroughs
Curing all the sickness
Overpopulation
All resources depleted
Global disasters
Leaving the land inhabitable
For life
Human disease
Ourselves, cleansed from the earth
Free of its cancer
Nature takes its course
Nothing is left alive
Generations lost
Civilization abandoned
All is gone
Cowering in their fear
Ruled by weakness
The end is here
Man's final hour

4. Tribute

Possessed in a pandemonium
Entombed, then unleashed
Blood feast
At the gates of sodom
Hypocrisy from the kreator
Trouble on the edge of sanity
Fate, corrosion of conformity
Dismembered with artistic butchery
A sinister massacre of the priest
Dark funeral, morbid eulogy
Dissection of the carcass
Napalm brings death
Emperor, sitting on the dark throne
Macabre carnage of the corpse
Acheron, lifetime of shame
Venom in the iron maiden
The slayer of morgoth
Hellwitch, countless bathory
Sacrifice on the sabbath

5. Perpetual Resolution

Damaging words
That have pierced my soul
Unable to return from the pain
They have brought upon me
Trying to escape from reality
That is covered in the thoughts
Of crushed dreams
Mental disorder
Living day to day
Appearing to be cured
Darkness runs deep
Prescribing toxins
To heal the mind
Sinking deeper into depression
Others will never understand
Disturbing images
Light dims on the horizon
Seems to never get closer
The end will stop the torture
Suicide
The permanent solution

6. Barbarically Beheaded

Biblical traditions
Scriptural justification
To execute the condemned
Gaining stature publicity
Religious extremists
Meeting unbelievers in battle
Smite at their necks
Execution ritual
Thoroughly subdued
Bind the captive
Kneeling, confessing
Reading off offenses
Time for ransom
Rubric condoning the act
Condemnation by authorities
Recruitment tool
Agents of the apocalypse
Express their horror
What bleeds, leads
Offensive, frightening
New phenomenon of primal warfare
Combined with modern technology
The ultimate sign of power

7. Shores In Flames

оригинал: Bathory

Mother winter leaves our land
And opens wide the seas
The lukewarm breeze does beckon me
As it whispers through the trees

It says: Set your sails
And let me take your ship to foreign shores
Take farewell of those near you
And your land of the North!

The wild cold deep black ocean's waves
Invites my hungry heart
Cry not my love I'll return
Only death can keep us apart

Oden in the sky up high
Let the Ravens of yours fly
To guide us on our sail to foreign shores
Let your Ravens fly

The wind blows through my hair
And fills our sails with hope and pride
Caress these lines of Oak, wind
Do not throw us all aside

The wild cold deep black ocean's waves
As wide as sky above
Carry us, oh, Gods of sea
Don't take us down below

Now approach the shore at dawn
All is still the light of daybreak is yet to be born
Clad in morning dew asleep
The city's walls rise before us men from the seas

Carrying cold steel at our sides
No time to lose at sunbirth we attack the city by surprise
Down the coastlines with the wind we reign
Men of the North we leave the shores in flames

Shores in Flames Shores in Flames
Shores in Flames Shores in Flames

Fire!

Tor of thunder way up high
Swing your Hammer that cracks the sky
Send the wind to fill our sails and take us home
Guide your sons, us, home

When the wind cries out my name
And time has come for me to die
Then wrap me in my cape
And lay my sword down at my side

Then place me on a ship of Oak
And let it drift with tide
Let the flames purify my soul
On its way to hall up high

Up high
Up high
Up high
Up high

Fire!

8. End Of Days

Nine one one
Manufactured lies
Thousands gone
Lust for power, endless greed
Face the facts
Freedoms raped as the towers fall
Survivors crying to be freed
They feed you with thoughts of hate
In a void of despair
Corruption of the mind
Until they're satisfied
Destiny unfolds
Right before their eyes
Landscapes of obscurity
Despising all life
