...so this shall be death – Distorting, oblivious, stifling and cold. We enter the ark And set off on a journey to shatter the world, Get ready to meet Thy nightmare till now concealed in the dark – We are to embark When Sun Descends into Styx! Full speed ahead! We are your damnation forever and aye! Troops of the dead – We came unexpected, from shadows we rise! Legions of fate – Depriving of choice, decimating the chance... You only die once! DIE! World, Burning in flames, Bleeding in throe, Tortured by war that's never been declared... You, Children of sin, Fighting for your Place in the sun with no ruth to other Being, Thirsting for gain, Blinded by vain, Selling yourself to be the best at any Price... Midst your self-lies Have you all thought, What you shall leave behind when death comes sudden?..

Hecatomb 03:09
To the raven flying to shadow the sun, To the pestilence spreading all over the land, To the daemons beginning the hunt, To the war hounds leaving the den, To the avid god rejoicing in our blood, To the skies that stand aloof, To the wolf that howls tearing silence apart, To the echo mocking at him from afar, To the vulture hurrying not to miss the feast, To the distant moon watching the slaughter, pleased... To the tide rising to wipe out the scars And the tears already spilt, To the Reaper preparing his scythe For the harvest on the battlefield – Hecatomb! (Praise the massacre!) Rule of the Force, Hate-driven delirious hordes – He who stands the last Takes the hollow Earth... Hecatomb – A bargain with Death. Hecatomb – A blood-signed pact. Hecatomb! Who cares a straw, When your life's at stake For someone's sake? When the die is cast, And hate becomes a must, When self-identity Is turning into dust, When future leaves no past And no way to flee For humanity, That will be sacrificed – To the vanity having shadowed the sun, To atrocity devastating the land, To the gods of war enjoying the hunt... They will have it all – you will meet the end.

Do you remember angels falling? As they descended swiftly spinning, It heralded a new beginning – Why all this melancholy? ...then a rain Caressed the desolated plains, It brought a tide That rushed towards the hollow coast Of humankind To wash the eyes for long so blind, To clean up minds And breed a seed of blasphemy... A road was shown to a denial With dogmas burning into ashes, As riots gathered the audacious: "If angels fall - why cannot I?" So going on, We break a way aside from skies, Unfolded eyes Light up in freedom ecstasy – We see no sin In being masters to ourselves, And in the end We'll pay for it – or shall we not? ...Do you remember angels falling? Life blossomed as they hit the ground – Why all this melancholy? Next will be he who pushed them down.

Time To Pay 02:59
Evisceration of your soul Will make the ailing body burn. No matter that you had to fall – It matters if you could return! Don't take a breath and shut your eyes Once you've escaped the sorrow cold... An errant step knocks you against A wall! You try your best to fight your way Away from this chaotic strife... Beware: they are killing you Alive! Avoid the hook and slither forth, Don't waste your time on looking back – You will be caught up by the pack When knocking on the Heaven's door. Their rabid laugh is coming nigh, The countdown has begun... Watch out for you are the one To fight! But what will change, suppose you fail, Concerning Good and Evil scale? It's so rash to burn yourself To ash! FORGET What happened heretofore! ERASE The scars of days of yore, But do recall it all when time doth come - TO PAY For hatred and for pain, TO PLAY The marches of decay... Release the force that spurs your will TO KILL! But who admits his own lie When self-delusion is enthroned? Go help them die... What are you waiting for?! /chorus/ How hard is it to be yourself Amidst the kingdom of Deceit...
6.
Suffering is just another way of self-perception, A scar-written bible keeping all faults. You get stuck in a limbo of manic obsession, Entangled by woes recalled... How long can you wallow In grief and despair, Comparing your rash former words To those which deceitfully came afterwards? How deep can you swallow The scorn of misfortune As scorching as hell in your head, Before you forget? Suffering is just another way of self-destruction, A ghost of a psycho sharpening his knife. You get closer to him with every fool action, Your soul is buried alive... Exploring the bottomless Pit of resentment, Tormenting your reason and sense, You look for a moment when everything ends, But it's slipping away, And you're stabbed in the back, Attacked by the visions around... Your bitter remembrance is beating you down Get. Feel. Keep. Pain. Breed. Hate. DIE. Let. It. Burn. Self. March to the end. DIE. The logics are ravelled, The stakes are all losing, You have undertaken too much... Insanity's nigh. Are you feeling its touch? How far can you travel Your private Gehenna? Fake martyr, how long can you grieve, Before you forgive Yourself?

Come closer, my child – I've something to show and something to tell, I'll take you out of This Maelstrom of lies where insanity dwells, Where purity's spoiled and is starting to fester, Where reverend shepherd has turned into jester, Where a gesture of shame is twin sister for mercy And virtue is measured by thickness of purses... Come closer, my child, Intention is sacred when wish equals sin. Do it – or live Lamenting the pleasures of freedom unseen... Brought up in a fear of mythical forces, For each misdemeanour awaiting remorse – "A prohibited fruit Won't serve you for good!" You make no decision – is anything worse? Day after day sacrificing your ego, Forsaking all hope, losing the vigour And seeking a shelter You kneel to the altar, Expecting a favour from stone-dead figures... Clean up your mind and give loose to your lust! Don't fear fake menace of being condemned. Whatever you are, there is only one end – Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. I can teach you to enjoy life to the full... Clean up your mind and give loose to your lust! Come side with me, Follow my path! I tear off the veil – have a look at the scale A breath of decision can trigger a gale Be either yourself or constantly bound – Whatever you choose you shall end in the ground. I warn you: don't hope for phantom salvation! He who lives as a servant has no destination. I'm here to soothe your excruciation, Come closer, my child, for I am the Truth. One step is enough to break up the chains. Your being was never designed for restrain. Come closer, my child, I shall wipe off your stain, Come side with me. Now.
8.
Feel all your littleness Facing the grandeur Of these silent walls... Is it your way? Will you be strong? And if you doubt – take your leave! There will be others who deserve! Remember: fear's not a crime Unless it breaks the holding chain... Step over the line – For chance won't be given again! You are on your own. Stone is deaf – only echo will hear you scream... Stone is dead. Enter the Crypt... ...Whoever wondered, devoured by curiosity, Which malevolent wind had guided me there, Just saw me shrug my shoulders in unfeigned ignorance... Many times I've tried to rake up my worn-out memory In an endless search of answers... Nothing. Nothing but mirrors. Unconcerned with the visions from the Past, As well as the Present or the Future, I left Three of them behind, Deliberately throwing myself into the vortex of the Fourth. Time seemed to have stopped Singing like a string at the breaking point, While I squirmed in the cobweb of Truth Longing to perceive my real self... I gazed into darkness, and suddenly I beheld two burning eyes, Scornfully gazing into me... I've been trying to recall the rest since then, But every time It hurts...

Blasphemer 03:17
…They say my soul’s forever marred, They say my hands are ever stained, They say I killed my inner God… They gave me a name – Blasphemer! Laughing at the outdated lie, Flying over misery and pain, I have followed my unholy way! I saw them shiver at my sight, I heard them damn me for disgrace – My grin is shining over their faith! Teach me to live – I’ll spit in your face! Teach me to live – I’ll spit in your face! Make me believe – I’ll spit in your face! Show me the life! …I do confess my being blind! I do agree to everfall! Who dares say he never lied? So join me you all – Blasphemers! Hallowed be thy unforgiven sins! Mocking at the foolery of crowd, Watch the mortal world fall down DOWN! The wicked have been reigning, since The Truth was made an outcast, Yet Virtue’s been for long exposed to rust! Give me a god – I’ll spit in his face! Give me a god – I’ll spit in his face! Give me a faith – I’ll throw it away! I AM THE GOD.

The Epitaph 03:46
...so pale are the traces 'neath moonlight triumphant, I glide through the fog in noctambulant fever, Lifebridges contort as I yield to the shiver Of phantasmagoric oblivion rites – Yet I'll suffer it all, I follow my mourning procession (unseen), Like a Stygian wraith I sink in the waters of death On the edge of the worlds... And will my soul be doomed to flames Or be allowed to Eden fields – I shall deny All chance to rest (in peace), Confined to no mortal frame, My hatred's nevermore concealed, Revenge is nigh, I start the bloody mass. Eye for an eye – Till your heart stops the hopeless staccato... Try to run for your life – I'll be there with the last ray of light... Let me kiss you when you suffocate! I am a curse once laid upon, I am a precipice onwards, I'm an exile of the two worlds, I'm neither perished nor reborn, The rotten veil of death unfolds Depriving me of afterlife, As lust for retribution burns In frozen shadows I revive! And you'll suffer my pain! Behold me – I'll smile from the darkness Till you go insane... I like it when you are afraid – So be endless the game! ...and be hollow my grave.

Human Larva 02:28
Trembling fingers, dumb expression – Look into the mirror! Who the hell has made you so weak? Marching forward, going under – Victim of the system, Feasting on the grave of rotten freedom, You creep. Suck it up – it can never change. Sick and worthless, nameless bastard, Living in despair, All your deeds are guided from above. Dancing at the wish of masters, Ignorant and scared, Nemo sapiens, do you feel their laugh? Created after the image and likeness – You’re nothing but a human larva. So keep on creeping and hope for mercy, A mere pawn, a human larva.
13.
Burning the bridges, ignoring the warning, We step on a road of no return – In a moment it's over, yet no one is mourning The death of the world giving birth to a nova. Our fury is fading, obscurity's luring, Be cured all those once labelled "impure"! We cannot foresee what we are to endure, We are the ones we'll never be Again. Whatever the past – shall be lost and forgotten! Our rotten existence was only a spot On the canvas of time... We'll be newly begotten And witness the dawn of catharsis sublime. We enter the twilight with eyes widely opened – No hope for the better, still we shall not stop On the way to the top of realities swapping... For future's unknown, we'll forge it Ourselves.
14.
…For I never defy This hunger burning within, I never doubt to strike, When I am ordered to kill, I throw myself to attack – No matter how, but still – The order should be fulfilled. I've never wondered... Why?! Who are those I slay? Why?! Why the hell I have to hate? …For you're looking unlike – So you should be condemned: "We want a race to be clean" "We need a unified faith" "We have to be all the same" – And no distinction allowed! Marionettes on a leash, We fill the planet with... Hate!! Fuck it, I cut out! Why should I despise the whole world?! Why should I despise myself?.. The world dissected into parts Will never try to reunite, A total hatred is to rise… One brother loved – another killed, And we have crossed the crooked step, We've sold the only Paradise… We've dragged our moral in the mud, We have forgotten self-esteem, A final virtue is on sale… So why the hell you hesitate? Keep on reforging "dirty" world – And hate thy neighbor as thyself!!
15.
...oh yes, I lied, And will deceive again – Lie to myself That something can be changed, That this is not the end, That night will pass and reconcile my daemons, That their deafening choir will set my conscience free, That every second brings salvation closer, And sky will cast a beam of hope on me... And trapped within my own fancies, I will assure myself that there's nothing wrong, And all I need is close my eyes and sleep, Just close my eyes... I cannot sleep, I'd rather wait till the morning Takes me away and rests my shell on a cloud, Where no voices from the past will be calling, Where no madness will be lurking around... I cannot sleep, I'd better died 'fore I came here, Jumped in the blackest ever hole I discovered Towards the nothing, far away from untamed fear, Yet my ill fate robbed me of chance to be coward... Give me a hand and pull me out of this quagmire, I cannot tell deceit from truth any longer, I'm too much used to misperceive the desired For what I really see... I need to be stronger. Give me a hand next time it comes to backstab me, Ten thousand voices tear my senses in twain... I could admit I'm too weak to withstand it, But I will lie and then suffer again. Lies blind. Oh God lies blind...
16.
Who dared say the war is lost? A coward's not deserving trust. As strong as stone is our word: We'll fight 'til death embraces us! Violence's cloaking The face of the Earth, Plague's spreading, Smothering peace... Who dared say this war is last? As long as hand is still a fist, As sure as sun comes from the East – We'll fight 'til death embraces us! We are still alive, Forging our weapons In the furnace of hate, We are still above, Though larvas are knapping The foot of the rock, We are standing on. We are standing on! For the years to come, For the glorious past, For the ones behind, Who had lost the lives For the clear skies, For the ancestors' land, We are standing on. We are standing on! We'll fight!

I flew through the layers of reality askew To reveal the naked pleasure of the deep, As I climbed from beneath I heard the feeble people breathe, Shivering in fear of near tragedy. I traded innocence for chronicles of decadence To find an inner sense between the lines, But as I read my hair grayed – I was afraid to witness fate Predestined for mortals till the end of all times. So I began my mournful trip – A newborn child, still pure and stripped – I watched, myself untouched by sin, The fall of Sodom and its twin, That bloodshed left the first attaint, I stared on the verge of faint, Embraced by choking reek I seemed To understand the holy scheme. I took to my heels spurred on by fright And did not stop 'til I descried Four mounted shadows in the mist – The last turned back and grinned at me. I tried to lead his rats away, But cursed was the pipe I played, And people were too sick to see The beasts obey and follow me... Grey apostles of mine! I passed through the ages with a feeling of disgust Congealing like a guise upon my face, And the heavens grew dark For every sin became a mark Adding to the picture of infinite disgrace. I crept into chambers where monarchs quietly slept To spread the prophecy of dismal days, But all my word remained unheard As if I were the Foe of Lord, And pyres devoured the souls set ablaze. And I, Still trying to murder the grime, Kept braving the mire of life And sentenced myself to exile... I was alone against the world, I felt the pain of every man, But knew: I surely would withstand, Although it rose a thousandfold. And fiercely tempted and seduced, I saw a dream of me enthroned, My grandest name engraved in stone – Yet I was strong enough to refuse. I walked the path of ancient kings Escorted by the birds of prey To find at last a secret cave And Crypt of Fatal Truth within, I entered it to see the fool, But mirrors took me for a ghoul, And when I left, depressed and blind, I swear! – I heard a laugh behind! I could not see the mask I wore And both accursed and adored – A hypocrite called to encore – I bore the blame for blood and blight. I sipped from the envenomed well, And Babylon collapsed and fell, As I staggered on a rope Between the filth And deviance...
