1. Angelsbane

Seed from the Demon God
Sown in my mother's blood
She surely went insane that night
(Heaven burned like Hell that night)

Hear now the prophecy
Here its words come to be
He is the spawn of Hell's delight
(The destroyer of the Light)

Death and Pain, spell my name, Angelsbane
Tyrant reign, is my aim, Angelsbane, Angelsbane

Behold this abomination
Born out of life's damnation
Bloodletting in an ancient rite
(To preserve his ageless right)

Death and Pain, spell my name, Angelsbane
Tyrant reign, is my aim, Angelsbane, Angelsbane

Heaven burned like Hell that night...

Death and Pain, spell my name, Endless pain
Angelsbane

2. Nine Ones

Wizards of the world
Have gathered clandestine
To end the terror reign with
A force of their design

A foe to equal Angelsbane
Must come from the same womb
So they must find his mother
And she'll birth the tyrant's doom

A task is laid upon
A chosen few and brave
In the woods they find
Her corpse without a grave
The rotten flesh is then divided
In nine equal parts
Magickal transfiguration
And nine new lives start

Nine souls materialized
Nine souls now given life

Collectively they stand
To kill the demon's son
When they reach the age
Of twenty years and one
Until that day they're hidden
In the wizards' towers
Where they learn their fate
And to master their powers

But the Fiend God intervenes
Tells his son of them
"In your chalice you will see
The ones you must condemn"
Angelsbane he searches every
Corner of the earth
To find his cursed and long lost mother
And brothers by birth

Nine ones to bring the light
Nine ones still they must hide
Nine ones their sacred plight
Nine ones to win the fight

Sight my chariot, burning through the air
Night skies carry it, to the serpent's lair
Hark! My chariot, mighty thunder roar
Mark nine carrions, on the ocean floor

Die on the floor of the Sea
Along with the hope of the free
Nine you were once now you're none
The end of your world has begun!!!!!!

3. Upon The Throne Of Skulls

Inside the palace, of an evil man's dream
The court assembles, to hail their new king
He strides with grace, across the palace floor
To take his place, upon the Throne of Skulls
Deep in the chalice, through the fire and steam
The vision clears (brought forth by blood offering)
He sees the face, of the one who'll take his blood
And take his place, upon the Throne of Skulls

The demon rages, "This vision is a lie"
And breaks the chalice, with one mighty strike
"I killed them all, drowned on the ocean floor
To gain this hall, and build the Throne of Skulls"
"Through all the ages, not a soul could defy
Black death's own Goddess, and her silver pike
The Nine Ones' fall, aided by the demon god
Now hear death's call, out of the Throne of Skulls

A skull-clad throne – black altars of stone
So many have died – bones crucified
A flesh offering – to the unholy king
Wasting men's lives
In the reign of the Black Knives!

Priests of the slaughter, from their work there's no rest
To find and kill him, "the bringer of death"
Blood dyes the lands, it flows forevermore
For dread commands, upon the Throne of Skulls
He rapes his daughter, a God's justified incest
To breed a new race, born of hatred and death
His house now stands, on solid ground of black blood
Hark! Hell demands, "obey the Throne of Skulls!"

4. Rising Flames

See the sun rise, as we hope to live another day
See the future in our eyes... faraway
Watch the dark skies, still the grass is green where we lay
But the shackles of their lies... are our day

Confined to the underground, where they thought nothing could grow
In time they'll realize, embers aglow

Know the days passed, as our power's growing deep within
When our army's fierce and vast... we begin
Strike hard; strike fast, and eternity will let us in
Though this day may be our last... truth will win

Confined to the underground, where they thought we'd end our days
In time they'll realize, fires ablaze!

Like rising flames – We'll burn the heavens
Rising flames – A pyre of the pious
Rising flames – Fuelled by our vengeance
Rising flames – No more can they deny us

Rising flames – We'll bum the heavens
Rising flames – A pyre of the pious
Rising flames – Fuelled by our vengeance
Rising flames – No more can they deny us

I am the ninth, the only survivor
I cheated death on the floor of the sea
Bringing you life, the time of revival
I will not rest till my people are free

5. Ready For Eternity

Now the skies are darkened, but soon the gloom shall yield
In the season of salvation, with blood we cleanse the field
Arise and never falter, we stand like ancient stone
Through falseness and corruption, the truth won't stand alone

Prepare for war!

The fires in the furnaces, blaze with burning rage
To forge the steel that will prevail, and bring our coming age
Rally up the legions now, soldiers of revenge
We march for truth and glory, we strike to avenge!

And if I die tonight
I'll be ready for eternity
Certain in the knowledge
I'd die for liberty
And if I die tonight
Then so it shall be
The fate of the brave
Is written on the wind

Liars and deceivers, their heads will ride our spears
We leave their bodies fallen, with death masks clenched in fear
A massive pyre burning, to cleanse this world of wrong
With death by our side, we are power, we are strong

And if I die tonight
I'll be ready for eternity
Certain in the knowledge
I'd die for liberty
And if I die tonight
Then so it shall be
The fate of the brave
Is written on the wind

Ride to chase the priests of hell away
Bring death to all – Evil shall fall
Kill to free the souls he led astray
Fight for your lives – No more black knives
Now our freedom lies ahead of us
Crush the altars into gravel dust
Slash, destroy and kill – black blood we will spill
With death demanding wrath
We will watch and laugh...
As you die!!!!

High above the world he's standing proud
Hands to the sky – His time is nigh
Praying to the gods beyond the clouds
Accept this gift – Tear us a rift
The skies are ripped in a thundering storm
A gateway to another world is torn
"Your army's laid to waste
The black stone temples razed
With justice craving wrath
I will watch and laugh... as you...

Fly... taken by the wind...
To the rift and in...
Angels sing with praise...
As the skies embrace... Angelsbane!!!"

"Damnation to thee, mortal man
'Cause I will get my sweet revenge
When winter comes you will not stand
And spring you'll never see again!"

6. Winter Came Silent

Winter came silent
Now autumn is gone
Fallen from heaven
The curse has begun
Rest is awaiting
All those who worked hard
Winter came silent
When frost broke our guard

Falling in slumber
As was his fate
Yet death can not claim him
His power's too great

Entering a deathlike state
To preserve his final strength
So he can live again, and fight Angelsbane
Should he break his astral restraint

Closing his eyes, he leaves this world
To assume his vigil on the astral plane
Winter winds blow relentless, winter nights seem endless
Yet life goes on and years pass all the same...

7. Black Magic

There lay a little village, somewhere to the east
The destined site of Angelsbane's release
She was a local healer, never doing harm
Performing little tricks and weaving charms

But she was a fool who wanted more
Not knowing what she was looking for

The power that beguiles
Magic; old and vile
Fatal for the soul
Darkness takes control
Sanity dies, where Black Magic lies

One day as she opened, scrolls of long lost lore
She found a passage never seen before
She spoke the words that never, ever should be said
Awakening what the world once deemed as dead

The magic call flew through space and time
In an instant he entered her mind:

"Awake now my child for I need you
Listen inside and hear what you must do"

The power that beguiles – Magic; old and vile
Sanity dies,
Fatal for the soul – darkness takes control
Where Black Magic lies

8. My Wrath Unleashed

"Now I must avenge the world that sealed my fate
My wrath unleashed
Now I must avenge the world that sealed my fate
My wrath unleashed, a thousand years of hate!

Shattering worlds with a blow of my fist
I am the one who was born to destroy
Sending your damned lives into the abyss
The soul stealing death of an infinite void

My name is hatred for hateful I am
Perpetual sadness and death I will bring
With my release all your world shall be damned
And you will faithfully serve as my queen

Take the womb from a sacrificed virgin
And bury it in a holy place
Build a temple on the site of the killing
So I may pass through the gate"

Now doing as she's been told – the witch has lost all control
He's in possession of her
The virgin's sacrificed – the temple buildings rise
The time has come to conjure

Heaven is trembling, the earth shakes with fear
When long lost terror and torture returns
Dark forces enter the womb as it burns
Once again bound to flesh he appears

"Now I must avenge the world that sealed my fate
My wrath unleashed
Returning from the skies to retaliate
My wrath unleashed
Now I must avenge the world that sealed my fate
My wrath unleashed, a thousand years of hate!"

9. The Fire

"I knew I had to wait
For him to cross the gate
But now he's through and I'm set free
My power's now complete
'Tis time to grant defeat
To evil fiends and tyranny

I am a Fire, I am a blaze
Shine to enlighten, burn to erase"

Arriving at the scene
The witch turns with a scream
"Wizard, leave while life still serves you"
"I've come to kill the one
The demon's bastard son
Surrender or I'll kill you too"

"We are the Fire, we are ablaze
Shine to enlighten, burn to erase
We are the Fire, we are the sun
The power that brings life, lives forever on

Dying in the sand, hi' the wizard's hands
Tried to make a stand, but she had no chance... at all

We are the Fire, we are ablaze
Shine to enlighten, burn to erase
We are the Fire, we are the sun
The power that brings life, lives forever on"

10. The Divine Kill

This soil will be our battlefield
The hour of judgment's closing in
To all, the plot will be revealed
And only righteousness can win

Death from the skies
Raining down to quench your fire
As the light dies
Your world will now expire

Die, calling to your soul
Your being and all you know
Die by my will
And the Divine Kill!!!!!! Kill...

I, will not lose control
The glory of Truth will show
Black blood I spill
With the Divine Kill!!!!!! Kill...

Sky father, the lord of terror
(As) I fight this battle for us both
Grant me glory, loss of error
Triumph honours my blood-oath

Out in the dark
The divine forces conspire
I am the spark
That ignites your funeral pyre

Die, calling to your soul
Your being and all you know
Die by my will

Now, your course has been set
Fall to the Triumph of Death
Your flame has been stilled
By the Divine Kill... Kill...

And the Fire dies, overpowered by night
Heralding the demise, of the champion of light

Die, beaten down on your knees
Along with the promise of peace
Nine you were once now you're none
The embers fade 'til they are gone

Evil is eternal
A force that will last for all time
Evil is eternal
Wickedness makes man divine

Angelsbane – Endless pain

The world is basking in the black light of heavenly darkness
Woe to the living for 'tis the eve of the wicked and heartless

Unto your world I bring, this storm of Suffering
