A New Era 03:05
This is the end of an era This is the end of your reign Darkness will fall over all life You will not witness the break of day Rip your flesh from bone Leave your bloody crown, rusting on your broken throne Your reign is over, we won’t bow down No one will hear your cries Welcome to the depths of Hell We will destroy you Tear down your walls, send them burning to the ground I will make sure your body’s never found Broken ghosts of old, devour your wretched soul Give us strength to bring upon your swift demise Feel the fire burning in my fucking eyes Hear the angels cry Message from on high See the demons fly Soaring through the sky We will not wash this blood from our weathered hands A trophy a reward for our righteous deeds You will not wake from this nightmare of your end King on high, tyrant lord time for your Death (x4) Time for your death.

Dissent 04:27
You will hide your face in stone Taking refuge from the dark and death we hold So dear and close to our hearts Solace never falling apart The steward of our souls is a righteous man Casting blood upon the land Hidden deep inside your head Golden Figures Fallen Idols This is a war for the rights of man We can’t stop until the gods are dead Disillusion and emptiness will fall Holy warriors Deemed unfit for this life you’ve spent Sultry vagabonds The price is high for the crimes you commit Wholly weakened by the deeds you spread upon The lost and hopeless ones that block out the sun The world needs to empty of these fools Toting lies upon the mass, unforgivable When will the blind see Goals we set upon to achieve The mind knows Death will consume you all This is a war for the rights of man We can’t stop until the gods are dead Disillusion and emptiness will fall Sons of man will witness it all Wage the war for the rights of man We can’t stop until the gods are dead Violent construction Heretic destruction Violent redemption Heretic salvation You will hide your face in stone Taking refuge from the dark and death we hold So clear and deep inside our hearts Sadness never far, a part of us The destruction of our home is an evil plan Casting hate across the land Hidden here amongst the dead.

Inheritance 04:56
I want nothing but strength to secure the rightful Vengeance for the slaughter of my people at the hands of him Absolution orchestrated legend of the one A thousand years, my time has come Fear will rack his brain/He won’t be able to stay Asleep while I roam/I’m what the fates foretold Power immeasurable/ His life I’ll hold Fire in my eyes /Savor his demise Nothing will stop me From this death I wield Revenge is all I seek For the pain he deals Plucked from his mind A single wish I hold Dead on the ground he’ll lie His fate is sealed Father I have won Revenge is mine A prince among men I am elite, you are nothing You won’t escape my wrath Aren’t I the chosen one I need to succeed Prince born for the Great transformation Was this not the way I need to make him pay We’ll rise again His rule ends right now All the times I fought for you treated like a slave, walking softly in the shadows alone I held my tongue, waiting for my time, when I’d take my place sitting on your throne You took everything from me My wish was not granted, I was left in the cold My father I’m sorry, I’m not worthy of my name This has been my fate all along Born to fail, born to fall A lowly soldier will take my place I’ve lost my soul. Rotting alone, I’ll never see the sun He made me this way I can’t forgive, The annihilation of my kin Just a bastard with no place to call home.

AFOL 03:32
I am lies I am lifeless I am the chill down your spine I am cold I am breathless I am darkness roaming the night I am lies I am lifeless I will take you, don’t you cry Breaking my bones again I’m arisen from these hallowed sands Reassembled, realigned Red will be all that’s in your sight Old as the pyramids Alone floating on these wretched winds Stepping on my grave you awaken the dead Leave/me/I’ll/be, nothing by dawn Dirt/ dust/ bones/ will be, all that’s left Undead I roam again Wreaking havoc across this land Immortal I’ll stand With their souls in my hand All of your innocence is washed away Muscle tissue is stripped & frayed Dark secrets deep in your chest A fool A louse Creature of death Hatred, my only device of life Violent, I will eat out your eyes Undead I roam again Wreaking havoc across the land Immortal I’ll stand With their souls in my hand

From the recess of my mind I call out to the god on high Will this rule ever be mine Was I born divine? From the desert to the throne room They will fear your newfound power Call upon the faithful dead ones Melt their bones, turn into soldiers Skulls and iron molded forward Form the perfect horde of mongrels They call me the necromancer Human souls my only payment Set forth by fate and time Caught in this dark design They will never break their bondage Held tightly in my clutches (frozen!) x2 What is death (x5) What is death to a god I’ll achieve The greatest dynasty The world has ever seen With my dead army Fate is so unkind To those powerless to find meaning in this life die before my knife I will lead The great Autocracy Of this century With my dead army Fate is so unkind To those powerless to fight Demons in the night Pray for your lives For the world Price I’ll pay For their lives I will stay They will never escape The people scream A feeble plea End of my tyranny They will see, they can’t defeat The power beset to me Your souls are mine The greatest dynasty this world has ever seen Powerless to fight, pray for your lives You never expected it to be this way Held down, (in this) web of conformity (x4)

Frostbite 04:04
This is our finest hour I am the king under the mountain A disease upon the throne. This war of mind and matter Will make this empire fall Bones lay upon the rocks Soldiers clash left and right The frost bites at my flesh as I trek under black skies The fool has fallen to his knees, we can’t let his end (let this end) The strength does not leave my breast as I breathe in the flames We will send them all to hell Watching the sky falling fast, I can’t help but wish for all this pain to end Breaking from this realm I rally countless souls to crash and burn across these field of ice Detta krig är slut allt liv. Jag är död. Consequences of this life. Draining me dry. Absolute fear. No beast no man, nothing will claim our home. Even if the gods fall we’ll hold our own (I’ll hold my own) This frozen fractured hellhole will hold our bones, until the earths rebirth, We’ll fight alone, we’ll kill them all, break down the walls, open the world. Cast them down to hell. My hate will black out your eyes. I will not stop until my bloodlust is quenched. Oh how this cold wind howls It chills down to the bone It haunts my broken soul I can’t fight all alone Defend our home Ragnorak x4 This is the end of life I can’t see through these blackened eyes This is the end of life I can’t see through these bloody eyes I will end this I will fight this I can’t let this die We fight this war alone The sky is falling now This story shall be known I’ll write this tome Scribe it in my blood I will shatter countless bones and rid them of their precious souls. We will ascend swiftly to the greater heaven waiting for us They will beg for mercy as we rise and fall upon them I will bathe in their blood greatly satisfied The great ones call as the beasts are fell Will I earn my glorious death At the hands of them? This is our finest hour

Darksign 03:36
Pouring out from the depths below Innocence is converted by darkness Losing faith with the gods above Failure; nothing will save us Demons from the dark abyss call Planning swift destruction Pray to the sky that you’ll make it out soul intact Take up arms and brace for the strong attack I don’t see how you’re surviving Fall to your knees as you take your final breath Can’t you feel the cold of your coming death? When all of us are here dying Wither away alone, no one to call you home You lack conviction, you will not win this throne The man, the fall, the dark, the call No hope fallen The lost soldier you are the one, savior The truth the rise the light the hope All lies broken Hell bound faithless devil you’re a sinner Pray to the sky that you’ll make it out soul intact Take up arms and brace for the strong attack I don’t see how you’re surviving Fall to your knees as you take your final breath Can’t you feel the cold of your coming death? When all of us are here dying Wither away alone, no one to call you home You lack conviction, you will not win this throne Your vulture eyes can see the blood inside of me Hollow you’ve lost your mind Swallow your pride Why won’t you die? Lost savior, your time has come Take heed the fallen have won x2

Fall in this abrupt darkness I am weightless, cold and distressed All I’ve wanted is this mistress Queen of darkness, you will witness Resurrection of my deepest darkest desires Alone in my head I’ve wandered holding onto the hope Escape is motivation to cull this madness Seeking truth and patience, growing restless I will Follow swiftly The changing tide Through all the pain my soul is reborn Their eyes are on me, eyes of the seeker Unholy sun their bones burst into flames I am/ the one/ to set this world Ablaze/ Loyal/ servant to the end (x2) Rage is my only muse As the night falls soon I’ll take her in my arms Malice and macabre rules This land you’re all doomed Your life a simple ruse Right outside You are the murdered fractured sins Hold down the frail and the weak Inciting violence I will awaken the beast Unholy queen x2 On the hill the dead shall weep and wish for release There is no hope, I can’t hear feeble pleas. Try to run. I am the watcher. Fall into place or be received by the flames Get out of the way or feel my wrath Meet your demise at the end of the sword This is the end of the line You are alone, we’re all alone This is the end of everything you’ve known so cross the lines and close your eyes (x2) Forget all the lies You won’t escape this time Recall the haunting words I said Let them burn My queen Loyal are we Servants of thee Drown them in the sea (x2) My queen Loyal are we Follow her Forevermore

Across the halls a primeval plan is hatched As fog rolls over this cursed barren unwanted land In hand he holds their feeble lives Spells from the book of ages, seal your unjust demise All the pieces fall in line Constructs will fall, circle’s completed The grand design will unleash the beast born inside, this is the end of your era The Light will pray for the fool Hands lay, upon the bodies Screaming Men will beg for their death Alone in the end He is the god of them Here in the dark stay quiet Or he will find you Below the world we will cast this plague upon them Escape futile just fall headlong under the ice No help will come from the skies I will be for the undying Keep the fire from my eyes Stained glass and apparitions watch on as the spells are whispered Now the sun will lay still Welcome to the felfiend Unto Uliel we pray For the end of lies Bring forth the sacrifice Under skies painted red As the ritual’s completed Upon your bones we’ll reign Of the sky and of the ground May you cast your divine energies down Unto the light and unto the dark Unholy spirit, transcend into my heart Hear my pleas and ascend to earth I give you the portal to ascend to birth ''Cerberus, curator of silenti, sino phasmatis venire contra mihi. Phasmatis, radix quod causa of vita, commodo adeo suffragium mihi in meus negotium.'' 'Gratias ago vos Cerberus, pro tabellae silenti etc transeo. Gratias ago vos phasmatis pro iunctio mihi in meus nisus.''

You awoke me from my slumber what a grave mistake can’t you hear the thunder Sealed away I fed on your hate unleashed now rip this world asunder You will follow my command I am the one who now controls you. Now do my bidding or be sent six feet under How dare you test me. I have witnessed hell and beyond. I bestow thee with my hatred, ravage this world, lay them to rest I am your master henceforth, bow to me and heed my wishes Foolish pawn I am not your puppet, no shackles will hold me still Back away fool, be ignited, you were not the chosen one Succumb to my spell, I am your new found father I am no ones slave or pawn, you will die alone Taunting little peasant, I am a terrible storm, unleashed on this world I am reborn and this world will feel my rage I am the usurper. New tyrant, ruler. I will make this whole planet suffer. Smoke rises as the desolate walk. X2 A demon feasting on the flesh of men. x2 Fate has designed the greatest test of all. Making you beg and hope for a savior to call. Now time has come for the grand descent. As the rapture falls, your souls try to ascend. No. Corruption plagues you all. The deeds have stained your souls. No ascension for the wicked, in the fires you’ll be twisted. Fate has designed the greatest test of all. Making you beg x2 My plan was clear my devices untainted. x2 Taking refuge in the wreckage of a thousand burned towns. Listen as they cry out in pain Our time has come and gone As the ground falls. There’s no escape, from your judgment. What have I done/I was the one
