1. Rising Forces

(We're) coming out at night
Disciples of true steel
The virgin flesh we seek
And bring them all to heel

The Sleeper's wake-up call
The enemy within
Standing all for one
The mass shall now begin

Up from the ground
From the ashes we'll rise
Forever we're bound
With fire in our eyes

And from dark to light we will claim our realm
We will bring the law – this is our time
The rising force is here to rule and to reign
This is the sacred, sacred moment in time

Fate and destiny
Implanted in our heads
Ancient legacy
The truth has to be spread

End our masquerade
New life beyond the veil
Reborn for this raid
We're the science holy grail

You can't resist
Fall in despair
Your name's on our list
And the horde's everywhere

2. Hypnotized

Eyes of a snake – danger ahead
You conquer my mind with your might
The sins not outlived
The evil undone
I'm on the edge between wrong or right

Controlling me
And freedom is gone
My new master
Now we act as one

Hypnotized – my will in chains
Paralysed – the eyes of a snake
Your tool, deaf numb and blind
Work for my master's sake
When my life is at stake

Under control – under attack
You feed on my strength and my soul
Commit perfect crimes
The pain is all mine
Left here alone, rot and die in this hole

I played my role
Without a script
You took my soul
Torn and ripped

3. Hell Beyond Hell

Sign your name – sign in blood
Punch in your code
Secret words – secret signs
Ticket for this road
It's your new religion
On your trail of pain
The mad servants final bow
On a down-bound train

Ain't a secret what may be
And you're a part of me

Hell beyond Hell
On the edge of darkness
A deadly trap is now revealed
Hell beyond Hell
In the holy fire
Nailed to a burning cross
In hell
Beyond hell

Sell your soul – Sell your life
Show me all you've got
Waste your time – waste your life

The wire's getting hot
It's a burning fever
A bad disease
Death to the unbelievers
Suffer and decease

Got your hopes got your dreams
All your wishes and your sins

Hell beyond Hell
A deadly trap is now revealed
Hell beyond Hell
Nailed to a burning cross
In hell
Beyond hell

4. Heart Of The Black

Deep below majestic rocks
In a realm bare of life
Removed from the world
In everlasting night
A blade forged by the gods
Sacred and divine
Made to rule the world
On the outset of the time

To end the pain – Fight the oppression
Were questing the blade – This is our mission
Brave at heart – No turning back
Bound by the oath
Onwards to the heart – Heart of the black

Under the mountains
Sheltered in secrecy
The blade is rising up
Fulfilling the prophecy
Out in the fields – The killing is on
Fire and smoke – eclipsing the sun
The blade is calling us
No turning back
In the heart of the black

Foul winds from the depths of hell
As we cross the gate
We broke the seal to nameless horrors
Guardians of the blade

And in the hope of despair
We keep on descending down to the lair
Fear in our hearts – No turning back
Bound by the oath
Onwards to the heart – Heart of the black

Stairway to the underground
No mortals walked before
Ancient horrors all around
Inside the mountains core
Crawling through this labyrinth
We must fulfil our fate
A whisper in our very mind
As we're approaching the blade

We will return – We will return!
From eternal night – eternal night!
Victory is drawing near
In glory we'll ride
Under the mountains
A light in the dark
Time has come, we're striking back
We have returned
From the heart of the black

5. Stand Your Ground

Last rays of the setting sun
Tombstone's shadows grow
Another prey is on the run
Time to start the show

Hear the signals echoes
Hanging in the streets
When the knifes are glowing
In the nightfall's heat

Stand your ground
Hold at any cost
Stand in line for unity
The loner is the lost
Stand your ground
Fighting side by side
Bound to the colours
We are sworn to the fight

Gathering in the starting rain
With eyes so full of hate
Ready for an act of pain
Yet the victim is a bait

Lurking in the doorways
Ambush in the night
Invaders in our alleys
For our reign we'll fight

Bound to the colours
We are sworn to the fight
Stand your ground
Stand your ground
Bound to the colours
We are sworn to the fight

6. Meat Train

Your Final Destination
Tonight's the city's womb
The church of profit and greed
No songs to praise the kings
But tortured being's screams
No bread and wine but roasted human meat

Deep and down
In the underground
The evil black
Swallows every sound
Figures moving in a torture twist
Thoughts are knocked out by the devil's fist

Meat Train – Feed our town
Be a part and make it grow
Meat Train – On bloodstenched ground
Obey the dark lords of down below

The roots are groping for ya
Slashing wild around
Cutting and ripping the meat
Your destiny's fulfilled
Final breath and scream
Melting flesh in the oven's heat

Be the beat
Of the city's heart – Eternity
And now you're a part
Of a growing town that will never sleep
You sow the wind – this is what you'll reap

7. Buried In Blood

On the road to nothingness
Fading dreams and hopes
Surveillance games in secrecy
All lives in a scope

Bad seeds down the drain
On a rush for gold
Critics are in vain
We're sorted and we're sold

Designed by mortal hands
In fatal arrogance
Made in a jar
All hail the chosen few
A rusty hook in the bait
Too late for me and you

Hellbound – Hellbound!
Drowning lives
All swept away by the flood
Spellbound – Spellbound!
Fading dreams
When all is gone
We're buried
Buried in blood
Buried in blood!

The army of the rubbernecks
Black souls dressed in white
Doing just what can be done
Genetic dynamite

Rape the Bill of Rights
Steal our dignity
Human parasites
Under the masks of sanity

A brave new world will arise
Build on debauchery and lies
Made in a jar
Hail the chosen few
Superman or Frankenstein
The choice is up to you

Buried in blood!
Buried in blood!

8. Devil's Waitingroom

Rolling thunder in distant skies
Shadows of the past
A final glance on familiar faces
Time is running fast

Lost and buried in the sand of time
On history's garbage heap
A million fates – half of a line
Praise the king – Save the queen

Embark – To the gates of hell
We're caught in a twilight zone
Straight into nothingness
Or the great unknown

The wind in Charon's cloak
Sand in the hourglass
Tickets with no return
Through time – future and past

When souls are flying away
Facing the sun – Facing it all alone
When souls are flying away
Cursed and damned
And the lost ones die alone

Memories from another time
We're begging, we're praying for another day
No more boys and not yet men
Rotting lives and slow decay

We're holding on to our cold brides
Starring into the dark
Clenching our fists so hard
For the last time – a call to arms

Who told us about the angels
The lie that they're always kind
See their joy when they gamble
Feeding on screams and pain

9. Thunder In The Dark

Flashing lights – roaring sounds
Howling horses made of steel
The iron horde is on their way
Mankind is crushed under the wheels

It's the arrival of the damned
And they're about to take the land

Thunder in the dark
Flames on the horizon
Thunder in the dark
Wheels are rolling on
Thunder in the dark
Closing in on you
Thunder in the dark
And the devil smiles at you
Rip and tear all on their way

None is fast enough to flee
City streets are bathed in blood
With a taste of Death and gasoline

Unleash the horrors of the night
Metal killers born to ride

Thunder in the dark!
Thunder in the dark

10. Heart Of The Black (Edit Version)

Deep below majestic rocks
In a realm bare of life
Removed from the world
In everlasting night
A blade forged by the gods
Sacred and divine
Made to rule the world
On the outset of the time

To end the pain – Fight the oppression
We're questing the blade – This is our mission
Brave at heart – No turning back
Bound by the oath

Fire and smoke – eclipsing the sun

Foul winds from the depths of hell

We broke the seal to nameless horrors
Guardians of the blade

And in the hope of despair
We keep on descending down to the lair
Fear in our hearts – No turning back
Bound by the oath
Onwards to the heart – Heart of the black

Stairway to the underground
No mortals walked before
Ancient horrors all around
Inside the mountains core
Crawling through this labyrinth
We must fulfil our fate
A whisper in our very mind
As we're approaching the blade

We will return – We will return!
From eternal night – eternal night!
Victory is drawing near
In glory we'll ride
Under the mountains
A light in the dark
Time has come, we're striking back
We have returned
From the heart of the black
