Carnage in Carthage
04:36
|
|||
|
Oh Rome, oh Rome, my home… I bid you goodbye
It shall be a fine spring morning when Armageddon arrives
Oh death it will come and no one will be spared
Not one building standing, our fires prepared
Defile the shrines, we do what we must
Reducing the city to dust
A campaign of vilification, a stab in the back
Their memory and history burned like their charred ruins turned black
So close off the ports and starve them all out
They sacrifice children on alters of blood
Relentless we stand, now suffer our wrath
Devouring all in our path
80,000 strong, our ships have been deployed
Delenda Est Karthāgō – Carthage Must Be Destroyed
Woe, Karthāgō - Jewel of both the land and sea
Woe, Karthāgō - Fire will be your destiny
Woe, Karthāgō - Diamond of the eastern land
Woe, Karthāgō - See your blood across the desert sand
They call me a murderous shadow, a scholar of death
Malevolent tutor of triumph, I'll steal their every breath
Puritans and zealots with venomous hate
A word from the senate, we cannot debate
The rise of an empire that rules over all demands the over ones fall
A tutelage that's stained with blood
These people made of wood and mud
We'll cast them to the void
Delenda Est Karthāgō – Carthage Must Be Destroyed
Woe, Karthāgō - Jewel of both the land and sea
Woe, Karthāgō - Fire will be your destiny
Woe, Karthāgō - Diamond of the eastern land
Woe, Karthāgō - See your blood across the desert sand
Woe, Karthāgō - Jewel of both the land and sea
Woe, Karthāgō - Fire will be your destiny
Woe, Karthāgō - Diamond of the eastern land
Woe, Karthāgō - See your blood across the desert sand

My path obscured by creeping mist
I'm drowning in the mire
My own footprints act as my guide
The galactic mistress calls me to the void
Her chalice brims with smoke and stars
The spirit guide extends her hand and says
Drink deeply my dear
Witness the eternal ghosts of planets aflame
Visions of worlds obscured by the frame
Reach behind the veil
Harness the powers behind the shroud of the night
Shed your form and bathe in astral light
The brew now twists into my lungs
And snakes into my veins
Colours explode behind my eyes
The world before me folds from its disguise
The melting chalice crumbles away
My cells embrace fractal reality…
Drink deeply my dear
Witness the eternal ghosts of planets aflame
Visions of worlds obscured by the frame
Reach behind the veil
Harness the powers behind the shroud of the night
Shed your form and bathe in astral light
Stride along the chasm, ride celestial waves
Into the maelstrom of horizons
Untethered body and mind
Perception is split, my reach extends
The infinite paths are within my hands
A thousand lifetimes in a moment now
My corporeal form is shed
Father of worlds and a child of time
My soul and the cosmos are entwined
Adorned with the gems of the solar flares
And cloaked in nebulae I soar - Into the void!
I speak the secrets of the stars
My home the vast oceans of eternity
Drink deeply my dear
Witness the eternal ghosts of planets aflame
Visions of worlds obscured by the frame
Reach behind the veil
Harness the powers behind the shroud of the night
Shed your form and bathe in astral light
Eternal ghosts
Planets aflame
Visions of worlds
Behind the veil
Shroud of the night
Shed your form and bathe in astral light

Son of Storms
04:33
|
|||
|
Fear not the dark, the song of the night
Hear not the arc of his thunderous cry
Stir not the void, his grand nightfall
Washed by his tears as rain covers all
Trembling world, vengeful clouds
Strike down the fools who will not bow down
Tempest's power, given form
Strength in his pride, he will not conform
Skybound serpent
The breath of destruction is his to give
In the light of his wake
Feel his crushing embrace
See the sky ablaze, lightning masquerade
Legend from another frontier
No sign and no warning, the whirlwind he wields
The son of storms will live on through the years
First on his path, a grand design
Lost to the ages his secrets divine
Herald of thunder bring winds of change
Master of elements, swift as a blade
Know his scorn, bringing wrath
Might that strikes like a battering ram
Ancient giant, he remains
A monument to the world's suffering and pain
Shrouded in mist
A conduit of deconstruction
Purpose galvanized
His judgement need not strike twice
See the sky ablaze, lightning masquerade
Legend from another frontier
No sign and no warning, the whirlwind he wields
The son of storms will live on through the years
Arcane magistrate, men will melt away
Sundering all that he sees
Fury cold and grey, crushing castaways
Boiling the blood of the weak
See the sky ablaze, lightning masquerade
Legend from another frontier
No sign and no warning, the whirlwind he wields
The son of storms will live on through the years

Eyes that burn like fire, and teeth as sharp as blades
Demonic and infernal tremble when his power awakes
(Flash of death) Dark demigod
(Demon king) Titan of fear
(Warrior) To bring heaven's fall
Kill your master, feed your pride
I decide who lives or dies
Once I've killed my shadow side
My rage will crack the sky
Fearsome giant
Violence is king in his domain, fear his reign
Fade to nothing
Feel the surge of murderous intent, final breath
Die one thousand deaths
Hearing your last rite, sends shivers down your spine
Gone is his humanity, he craves the will to fight
(Flash of death) No remorse
(Demon King) Supremacy
(Warrior) Destroyer of all
Raging demon, deadly strikes
Mountains break beneath my might
Burden of your sins combined
Punishment divine
Fearsome giant
Violence is king in his domain, fear his reign
Fade to nothing
Feel the surge of murderous intent, final breath
Die one thousand deaths!
Foolish mortal, leave my sight
I'll set heaven's gates alight
Strength of flesh cannot decide
What power lurks inside
Fearsome giant
Violence is king in his domain, fear his reign
Fade to nothing
Feel the surge of murderous intent, final breath
Die one thousand deaths
Destiny is calling for you warriors to kneel
All of this existence shall be crushed beneath my heel
Those who dare to summon me lie twisting in my hand
If you dare survive, fight for your life

30 months we toiled in darkness, dreaming of the sun
The die were cast, the walls came down
The empress had decreed our time was done
Covert mission on the streets of azure fire
Too many lives too great the cost
To lock away the tyrant in the tower
(First in) Through the rage we mourn the fallen
(Last out) And for those yet to fall
(Cry war) But in peace we wail in silence
We are broken creatures
Now condemned to curse indifferent gods
We've travelled too far, and fought too hard
Just to die at the edge of the world
Ashen trail and whispered words
For the bridge to our past now has burned
A new campaign, another siege, an endless war
A horde of undead horrors and the children born of
(Salt and smoke and gore)
Mark us dead and grant us leave to start again
The ink may dry but chapter of the fallen
Always hunger for a name
Entomb our ranks into your lunar grave
Cast it seaward to find its home beneath the waves
Beneath the waves
We've travelled too far, and fought too hard
Just to die at the edge of the world
Ashen trail and whispered words
For the bridge to our past now has burned
We would rather a lifetime of pain
Than delusion time and time again
We are free at the edge of the world
As the bridge to our past now has burned
At the threshold you will stand
Heavy heart and upstretched hand
Death is not always the end
Through my song you will ascend
Take up your post
To guard the gate of high house death
(First in) Through the rage we mourn the fallen
(Last out) And for those yet to fall
(Cry war) But in peace we wail in silence
We are broken creatures
Now condemned to curse indifferent gods
We've travelled too far, and fought too hard
Just to die at the edge of the world
Ashen trail and whispered words
For the bridge to our past now has burned
No glory and no fame, I'm left with just a name
The stains upon the fabric will say just the same
When pain inside you stirs, the page before you blurs
Remember us as what we were

The Alder Queen
03:16
|
|||
|
Who's riding in the dead of night
A father and his frightened child
When moonlight glows and wild wins blow
A tale of woe
Come my son and have no fear
I hold you close, in my embrace
Have no fear my child I'll keep you safe
So ride on
The whispering is getting near
The child hides his face in fear
Out of the mist, what does he see
The Alder Queen
Oh my father, don't you see
The elven queen, with golden claw
Waiting in the mist to do me harm
So ride on
My son, the ancient willows gleam
But the erl queen is just part of your dreams
Come my child and follow me
I'll care for you eternally
Revel with my sons tonight
In my embrace you will reside
Oh sweet lad please come and play
And join my golden cabaret
If my love you still deny
Mark my words you will be mine
Now, riding fast and wild
Holds the groaning child
Withering like leaves blown in the night
Filled with toil and dread
The court steps just ahead
Shuddering the father sees the child in his arms
Was dead

March of Hunger
04:46
|
|||
|
Warriors, march forth
They march under moonlight
The echoes of hunger roaring wild
The waste stretched before them
Every step carves a path through the night
Their leader grows weary, no end seems in sight
This quest forced upon him was not what he wanted
But fate holds his future tonight
Lo, over the hill, primordial being
Bones older than time, yet never slumbering
Running down to meet our fate
For the feast we storm the gate
Seven heads, eleven eyes
Jaws of death are grinning wide
Fighting with our heads held high
Fears of death we cast aside
Bards will never sing our song
Still we're marching on
Returning triumphant
The elders beseech them with their cries
Feast not upon it those who touch it will wither and die
Bold and mighty, bolstered by their pride
Heed no warning, scorn personified
Running down to meet our fate
For the feast we storm the gate
Seven heads, eleven eyes
Jaws of death are grinning wide
Fighting with our heads held high
Fears of death we cast aside
Bards will never sing our song
Still we're marching on
All through the years, its call they will abide
Gorged and bloated with flesh… yet never satisfied
Running down to meet our fate
For the feast we storm the gate
Seven heads, eleven eyes
Jaws of death are grinning wide
Fighting with our heads held high
Fears of death we cast aside
Bards will never sing our song
Still we're marching on
Unknown horror, eldritch terror
Fiend, torn from the void, all is destroyed
Without warning, it devours
To bring on the end of all mankind

Claw is the Law
05:23
|
|||
|
Rowdy and loud, rude and turbulent
Wild lawless company, so rebellious
Drink of the damned, a cask of carrion
Born under Silverlight, eternally condemned
Oh yeah
Bow to no one, blood is shed and shared
Day dies as night is born, death is in the air
Forbidden fruit, harvested from rot
Morbid flask of putrid blood
Will carry this dreadnought
Oh yeah
The claw is the law
Bashed and tanked until the dawn
The claw is the law
Tooth and fang, gnash and gnaw
The claw is the law
Bitter as wormwood, sweet as wine
The claw is the law
Ruinous and raw, the claw is the law
Drinks in our hands, wrath in our hearts
A dreadful crew is coming through
We'll tear you all apart
A taste of just one brings hunger for more
Through thick and thin, and flesh and bone
A sober life, we can't condone
The claw is the law
Bashed and tanked until the dawn
The claw is the law
Tooth and fang, gnash and gnaw
The claw is the law
Bitter as wormwood, sweet as wine
The claw is the law
Ruinous and raw, the claw is the law
Feeling of the serpent's kiss burning up inside
Take a sip, close your eyes, and pray you will survive
Land and sea did not dissuade, nor did the savage maw
The dreaded crew crossed half the world
To satiate their hungry claws
The claw is the law
Bashed and tanked until the dawn
The claw is the law
Tooth and fang, gnash and gnaw
The claw is the law
Bitter as wormwood, sweet as wine
The claw is the law
Ruinous and raw, the claw is the law

Onwards & Upwards
04:09
|
|||
|
Hear me warriors, listen up close
Let me tell you the thing I fear most
When this world is stripped of its love
Cannot find faith below or above
We see glimpses of what we have worked for
A peaceful land outside of our door
Then we see that world burn and catch fire
For the beauty of life, we have no desire
But this too shall pass
When you feel like you've lost all control
Onwards and upwards we soar
When the sky's black, you've lost all your hope
Onwards and upwards we soar
Where is the unity, strength in our bond
An army of outcasts tenacious and strong
When will we see what the others do not
That the power to endure beats the power to harm
When you feel like you've lost all control
Onwards and upwards we soar
When the sky's black, you've lost all your hope
Onwards and upwards we soar
When you feel like you've lost all control
Onwards and upwards we soar
When the sky's black, you've lost all your hope
Onwards and upwards we soar
Break your limits they're all self-imposed
Onwards and upwards we soar
Seek no Shelter, and let out your roar
Onwards and upwards we soar

...Of Beasts and Faust
10:21
|
|||
|
A soldier of light
This night they will unite
His words of feral wisdom to which the beasts abide
The prayer he recites
This night they will unite
Can turn a monster's nature demonic to divine
Revered for all his power and celebrated grace
His battlecry to sanctify and save them from doomsday
Wolves heed and answer, ravens cease their banter
Serpents move backwards and speak as clear as day
Creatures seek after their primal commander
Bow down to the beastmaster
When all daylight dies
This night they will unite
The forest turns to whispers as choirs start to rise
With fire in his eyes
This night they will unite
His sermon tames all nature, makes chaos tranquilized
As moonlight bathes the vast leaves
The flowers start to bloom
Preach honesty, integrity
To save them from their doom
Lions turn cowards, bears cease to devour
Eagles flying free sit to argue with their prey
Creatures seek after their primal commander
Bow down to the beastmaster
Turning on their master, ripped from limb to limb
Terror and calamity as virtue turns to sin
Tumultuous their nature and ravenous their pride
Vicious screams of agony will rip the moonlit sky
Each creature holds a lesson, a lesson to be learned
And none can stop an animal from that for which they yearn
Damnation with these creatures, these mortals made of flesh
A curse upon their everlasting breath
You will never change the beast that lives in man
Malefactors, transgressors, harlots, villains
A pox upon your land
Now death with surprise, behold the sinners will rise
Judge and jury, fulfill mankind's demise
Terror reigns, set ablaze, favoured no more
No remorse, no repent
For we know where your soul will be sent
None can change the nature of man
All mortal desire, cast upon the pyre
Forever and ever, the fire burns forever
Sensation without end
Dark wings will arise, destroy all paradise
Forever and ever, the fire burns forever
They're doomed to live a life condemned
None can change the nature of man
All mortal desire, cast upon the pyre
Forever and ever, the fire burns forever
Sensation without end
Dark wings will arise, destroy all paradise
Forever and ever, the fire burns forever
The devil you'll befriend
Face your transgression, heed your redemption
Pure imperfection, all of mankind
Despite your dissention, receive this affection
Hail your resurrection
Here is no place for thee
My wager I claim
One word breaks thy pact
Then tell me all the same
The word that rings through joyfully
The word that heals all pain
The word that frees all human guilt
The one eternal word
