May The Coffin Hold You Close 04:39
lyrics
buy track
You feel the cold blade penetrate your skin A sharp rush of pain as the killing begins Hoped you could flee but now its too late One hundred stabwounds begin your decay Covered in blood and filled full of cum Thrown in the river after dark For several hours you'll remain alive Chills as your death comes slow May the coffin hold you close May the coffin hold you close Chills as your death comes slow The search delayed by your killers suicide A gruesome mess they have to clean Severed strips of flesh strewn throughout the room Surrounding his naked impaled corpse Alone and traumatized from rape and knife Your mind runs restless as you die Your butchered remains are later found downstream No one ever heard you scream A filthy job for the coroner The sight of you inducing vomit The puzzle of your body painstakenly restored One of histories most heinous murders Your funeral was a futile one No ceremony could erase your pain The closed casket was your only mercy And so I pray... May the coffin hold you close May the coffin hold you close Chills as your death comes slow

The Abomination 02:59
lyrics

Stitched together from putrid flesh Dozens of bodies thatched Brought back to life From the dead king's twisted magic Wretched demonspawn Now your time has come Cleave their armor off Flay their flesh to bone Lumbering foul-stenched Merciless machine Crawling out the slaughterhouse The enemy of the living Spreading blight across the land Guarding their caravan of meat Hulking great monstrosity Pus-spewing atrocity Butcher's knife hacking Giant hook staking It's chains rattling The abomination Lumbering foul-stenched Merciless machine Crawling out the slaughterhouse The enemy of the living Crush!

A putrid fog hanging low In this pungent morning air In the heat the tenants grow sick Suspicion makes them flee Dig up the bodies Unearth the garden of bones The torrential downpour Strips your corpse raw Beneath the thunderstorm Underneath the falling rain The rot is buried shallow A horrid stench carried on the wind Dig up the bodies Unearth the garden of bones The torrential downpour Strips your corpse raw Rot! Rot, Raw! Dig up the bodies Unearth the garden of bones The torrential downpour Strips your corpse raw

Stockholm Syndrome 04:47
lyrics

Isolation - You'll never know your life was stolen Years of abuse monument my conquest Such an evil man I am, and yet you call me savior In your misguided love I am your world And now as you come to welcome my lust The thrill of the crime fades away I can remember the first time I had you A twisted rush of nervous pleasure But now your screams have fallen to silence Now I look into your eyes Like a child to her father And as they came to take me away You even tried to save me But now your screams have fallen to silence Such an evil man I am, and yet you call me savior In your misguided love I am your world And now as you come to welcome my lust The thrill of the crime fades away

Lingering Death 03:58
lyrics

You're presumed guilty, of this most heinous crime You killed your father, the sacred giver of your life You have committed the ultimate deviance And thus incurred the wrath of the law We heat the knife to begin your demise Lingering death you will face Two hundred wounds, quickly cauterized Slashing away at your fate To preserve our most righteous order In our land at the center of the heavens We'll mutilate your earthly body And demolish your last shred of honor You face a judge, but there is no trial Your word alone cannot save you The emperor abhors your crime And so you shall painfully die! You're presumed guilty, of this most heinous crime You killed your father, the sacred giver of your life You have committed the supreme deviance And thus incurred the wrath of the law

King Of The Dead 04:34
lyrics
buy track
Deep into the eternal northern waste Where no man has ever dared It prepares to rally its army of white As the Others awaken King of the dead Bringer of the cold Like a lord, in a land without nobility To command the fallen in their long march south When winter comes to the western world Mankind will see if their Wall will hold The ones who walk with skin as white as snow Their army grows with every lost crow His long sleep of eight thousand years Ends in this age of war and chaos King of the dead Bringer of the cold

The Lechery 04:30
lyrics
buy track
The darkest realms of my desire are fixated on you On this night I will claim what is yours Held firmly underneath/beneath my grip It is hopeless/useless to resist This overwhelming urge to end your life Twisted wild by my impulsive lust Driven by sadistic hatred A violent terror is forced upon you "At night alone, and caught off guard How could I expect this? The attacker's face is masked in blackness As I fall down in the pouring rain" I tear the clothes and bite into her flesh Frenzied mad I'm not thinking clear I draw my knife and stab wildly And make her scream when I penetrate "Have you no mercy? I'm still alive!" I don't hear you "This awful pain, please kill me" I own your life! I own your body! "In death I will take my revenge This I swear"

Apparition 04:46
lyrics

Wide awake you plague my sleepless nights... Haunted - I torture your soul Your mind shall know no peace Phantom - I linger on Forever my curse you will suffer The crime you wrought against me I will not forget There burns a fire in my spirit That will never rest in peace The pain you inflicted on me From the depths of your deranged mind I shall reciprocate upon you For all time My mind is slipping away I lie here in cold sweat Her ghost has come back for me To pull me into her hell I curse your name each night! I can hear your screaming I damn your soul this night! Shield my ears from the screaming! Defiler of my honor Corrupter of my body I own your spirit I will rape your soul! How can I end this torment? How might I free my mind? I look upon the counter And the knife catches my eye Take up your murder weapon As you hear the sirens outside There is no escape for you You know what you must do The end has come to me Now I pick up the knife (Do it!) Prepare to slash my throat (Now!) Prepared to die

This Poison Atmosphere 03:48
lyrics
buy track
You sit in silence, and wonder why This awful air persists Created it was from the words Spoken from your acidic tongue Broken, betrayed and enraged The poison in the sky stands seething To speak aloud is to reveal your evil power To siphon the breathe from those near Your toxic speech sews the seeds of misery Breaking apart trust among men And when your slow poison has run it's course All that's left is silence

Frozen 04:47
lyrics

Through winter fields My thoughts are lost in the cold The gripping chill... Frozen my soul My breathes are sharp My lungs frigid with ice I can feel myself fading Frozen my heart Die! The winds scream Ice grips my flesh And my lungs stop Frozen My limbs lie numb Alone I lay in the snow From the depths of my soul A desperate cry My voice disappears I can't feel a thing Lost in the wind Frozen my body I'm stuck between The living and the dead The cold takes my life But the numb stays my death... Frozen existence Die! The winds scream Ice grips my flesh And my lungs stop Frozen And now I mourn my own death Will I be found? Forever lost beneath the ice

Beyond the realms of death lies a land filled with hate Trapped and buried, restricted soul Searching for eternity through fields of desolation There is nowhere to go Fear overtakes the mind They hope and pray for the end But death never comes No salvation Lost souls make war Struggles upon man There is no future in this vast empty hell Fear overtakes the mind They hope and pray for the end But death never comes There is no escape Wild hatred - they revert to primal instincts In this place without God There is nothing but sin This is the fate of all those who stray Hate grips this world As they hope and pray Pray for the end But death has already come

Violation Domain 04:11
lyrics
buy track
Crawl on our knees through the gutter From an untimely demise By remission of all sins Forsaking old and wise Violation of domain An area of conquest Which only we have one Don't stagnate within your self Transcend the Rubicon Suffering, torment, anguish, pain At life's shore slowly breaks the waves Turn of the tides, revenance of rage Blistering so were the thoughts When shackled to a wall Flagrant ways of conformation Your death sentence appalled Now plead for a worthless life Deny us for your guilt Escape within the stoney tomb Which you yourself have built Independence of a drug To satisfy the need Orgies filled with travesty To sow all mocking seeds Originality the one Who's screaming at the crime Sinister the ways of wisdom Expand or face the fire Sterile splinter of self doubt Thorn in your boney hide Counterfeit within adept Colossal is the pride Breeding cynicism Grandeur crying in your face Overture derisive laughter Hateful human race Incantation of your thoughts Upon this mortal coil Open wide the jaws of hate Serving them so loyal Reeking contradiction When you're laughing as you fail Believing in your innocence Tells a sorrowed tale Autumn fall upon a life This season at an end Darkened shadows all around And yet without a friend Realization dawns on you It's time for you to face Hateful human race

Bridge Of Destiny 05:46
lyrics

Standing at the bridge of destiny So long since I tasted fear Lurking in the darkest holes Awaiting my minds weakest moment Old words from an old world Against the laws of nature They say the truth is overrated Wall of anger corrupts my thought Standing at the bridge of destiny Show me a sign On the verge of losing my sanity Free my soul My inner demons torture me Flapping their wings in my face Damn you! You twisted illusion I am no longer afraid See through their liquid souls Evil eyes that will hypnotize You can no longer hurt me I am my own worst enemy Unleash the trapped souls of the dead Spirits since long forgotten Guardians fo the lost faith Destined for glory? Watch them all turn into sand And the wind blow them away Wisdom pours into my soul ...endlessly...

What is love? Baby, don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more Baby don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more What is love? Yeah I don't know why you're not there I give you my love but you don't care So what is right and what is wrong? Gimme a sign What is love Baby, don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more Oh, I don't know, what can I do? What else can I say, it's up to you I know we're one, just me and you I can't go on What is love? Baby, don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more What is love? What is love? Don't hurt me Don't hurt me I want no other, no other lover This is our life, our time We are together, I need you forever Is it love? What is love? Baby, don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more

Have You Ever Seen The Hearse Go By? 01:16
lyrics

Have you ever seen the hearse go by? Sooner or later you're bound to die They wrap you up in a big white sheet And drop you down about six feet deep And all goes well for about a week Until your coffin begins to leak The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out The worms play pinochle in your snout Your toes curl in and your eyes pop out Your guts turn into sauerkraut Your face it turns a sickening green And puss pours out like whipping cream Have you ever seen the hearse go by? Sooner or later you're bound to die
