Retaliation

Death roars in the night
with a thousand voices/
My city surrounded
by men like me/
Innocents drown along with the guilty/
When swords row the lake of blood/
As long as there is hope, there is hope of retaliation/
As long as there is will, there is hope of retaliation
Even the mightiest fall
as aeons change/
Unknown feet
on surrendered soil/
Innocents drown along with the guilty/
When swords row the lake of blood/
You’re turning our wine
into water and pouring our water to sand/
I’m peeling away my armour
yet I am ready for war/
Innocents drown along with the guilty/
When swords row the lake of blood/

Leikkaisinko kielesi
etten valheitasi kuulisi?/
Puhkoisinko silmäsi
ettet minua enää näkisi?/
Katkoisinko jalkasi
etkä minua enää seuraisi?/
Kiroaisinko nimesi
eikä sinua enää olisi

Blood Soaked Snow
04:15
|

Underneath the Lapland skies/
Purest of snow in frozen light
Underneath the Lapland skies/
A narrowing road with trees on both sides/
Hordes of ill-lead men on a march/
A midst the trees something awaits
Where there is will, there is a kill/
Wherever your trail, there you will fail
Underneath the Lapland skies/
Blood soaked snow, transient cries
Underneath the Lapland skies/
You can come and try and take what is mine/
This is where the heart of darkness resides/
In frozen light, trees on both sides
Look at the snow on which you lie/
Admire the crystals on which you die
Where there is will, there is a kill/
Wherever your trail, there you will fail

Yö on laskenut minut holveihinsa/
Valo on vain muisto, joka pian unohtaa minut/
Eikä pelkoa enää ole
The palace in the clouds/
Has caught fire/
Icons evaporate
Stairs melting/
To the feet of the escaping/
As icons evaporate
It is snowing ashes/
It is snowing red/
God is repetition/
God is repetition/
But I am alive
These distances are vast/
But they pass so fast/
Like the gods of our time
The heavy machinery/
Of our ancestors/
A burdening inheritance
Cold ash will fall/
On the two of you/
As I watch you copulate

Where Will You Hide
03:28
|
|||
|
Your blood isn’t worth your shit/
Still it will sell by gallons/
You knew you had this coming/
Still no tear of regret
Now your fear is the nectar of your foes/
Where will you hide?
Hand of god/
Palm of pain/
Isles of agony/
Christened to the cursed name of fame
Now your blood isn’t worth a run/
Yet you are chased by numbers/
You know what you have waiting/
No more time for regret
Now your sweat is the balsam of your foes/
Where will you hide?

Master Spirit
02:59

Pagan ritual/
Priestess rings the bell/
Unholy ghost arrives/
Crown prince of hell
I descend to another world/
Another dimension/
Rise master spirit/
Rise ghost of hell
Pagan master spell/
Attack of evil/
Tumultuous ceremony/
Ritual of dark
Reaching the powers/
Hiding in the night/
Rise master spirit/
Rise ghost of hell
Master spirit
Chanting backwards/
Incense fills the air/
Tumultuous ceremony/
Ritual of dark
I descend to another world/
Another dimension/
Rise master spirit/
Rise ghost of hell

Promethean Gift
04:46
|
|||
|
I’m the god of my own/
I rule my own fate/
Can’t satisfy my Faustian soul/
As it screams for liberty and wisdom/
I always want more/
Hate your religious shit/
I am the god of my own/
I‘ve got this Promethean gift
Embrace the wisdom of Morning Star/
Lucifer/
Thou shall be like gods/
Here is my gift says Satan
Reaching the consciousness higher/
Without flames of infernal fire/
Satan is me and I’m him/
Being a god is not a sin/
There is nothing to stop me/
When I do as I will
I am the god of my own/
I‘ve got this Promethean gift/
From the depths of my soul/
I summon the powers of Satan/
I can and I will/
And the slaves shall serve

You who live with closed eyes/
You cause all the misery in the world/
With seeking a union with your god/
I am your accuser and…/
Serpent of Your Holy Garden
I condemn all that his hypocritical and holy for you/
I deny your gods and deities/
I bring you the wisdom/
And I break the mirror of lies/
I shall kill all these holy cows/
Serpent of your holy garden
As you now have been freed from godly tyranny/
Start to live your life with full power/
Always seek for more/
Win the ignorance/
See one day you may be…
Serpent of their holy garden

Winterkill

I knew this would happen/
Just didn’t know when/
Before the beginning/
Or after the end
I’m feeling cold now/
I’m feeling old/
My skin is numb/
It’s time to go
My battle is over/
Black winds blow cold/
The winter is fatal/
No chance to grow old
White snow is a killer/
A killer in disguise/
This is the day when/
All beauty dies
I’m feeling cold now/
Fingers are numb/
I’m feeling old now/
Carry me home
I’m feeling cold now/
It’s time to go/
There is no pain/
End of the show
