Metu Mortis

With manes on fire my master unleashed me
I am creator of new beginnings
Through fire in the skies and blood in the streets
Wherever I may come, my name shall be known
Skies are burning
Don't think just hide
From the horsemen
Striding with pride
There's no escape
Nowhere to go
Fire's devouring the life that I know
Plagued by our faith
Too late to atone
Death on us all
All around me
Worshippers chanting their cursed litany
Death and disease
Invoking angels on a killing spree
Metu Mortis
As far as the eye can see
Feasting with their flesh
My instinct takes me further
Chanting his advent
I hear their morbid cry
They call Thanatos
Run Run, don't think just run
Find somewhere safe, before they come
Don't think for a moment to turn back, just run
Madness, all around me
Bodies, piled up, burning
I scream out the last hope left in me
Wake me up
Wake me up
There's nowhere to run
My servants of end times
Into this reckoning day
With death on their side
We keep stalking prey
Before my eyes
Everything stops
The one has come
To take my life
I open my arms and I pray
pray for the sweetest of gifts
Free me from all of this pain
Free me from all of this pain
He's coming closer to me
Lost in his eyes I can see
Pure incarnation of death
Free me from all of this pain
Moments of eternity
I Wait for my eternal sleep
Silent he then walks away
And damns me to live

Apocalypse
05:29
|

Bringer of obliteration,
Dark fire burning through,
To the foundations,
Of the life than you once knew.
Your place upon the earth;
Revoked,
Forfeited like timber up in smoke.
A land impaired,
No longer grows,
The human race will decompose.
Property enshrined,
A rotten corpse inside,
So bewildered,
Masses march from left to right.
Death will save,
Wait there for me,
I bring release,
Wait there for me,
Death will bring peace.
Connection with the perfect sphere;
Annulled.
Souls rattle round in a casket so chaotic,
But I will bring order yet…
Gather here, frailest sons.
Salvation’s touch, your end has come.
This world, deserves much better,
Than such a scornful child,
As Magna Mater weeps,
Your saviour arrives.
Bringer of obliteration,
Dark fire burning through,
To the foundation,
Of the world than you once knew.
A land impaired,
No longer grows,
By hook or by crook I will cleanse it all of humankind
I will dispose.
Your place upon the earth;
Revoked,
By your own hand you’ll wither and you’ll choke.
Your place upon the earth;
Revoked,
Burned away in furnaces you stoked
This world, deserves much better,
Than to be so defiled,
Magna Mater calls for vengeance,
I am her answer,
Reconciled.
Heed me, plague,
This ground will be your tomb,
Stagnation blooms,
A final solution; cauterise the wound.
Gather here, fallen sons,
Salvation’s touch, the end has come.

March Of Destruction

March Of Destruction
Empire of man’s crown,
Here it stands, vast and proud,
What took years to build,
In just one night, lying still.
Stained glass is smashed,
As their statues crack,
Feats claimed as divine,
But a blip in time.
Behold death’s face,
Solemn in grace,
Fourth horseman comes,
God’s cursed son.
Flee to the hills,
I will find you there,
Carnage surveyed,
Ten thousand dying lights, snuffed out, a dark crusade.
Thane, Built to cleanse,
Not demean,
End serene,
Doom’s great machine.
Coward’s tryst,
Stubborn pale cyst,
Pantheon,
Lone survivor prays for dawn.
Eyes recessed,
Locked in place to test,
Charging near,
Dusk cavalier.
Your resting mire is drained,
Descend, extend Gaia’s reign,
Profane sudden stop,
The peaceful end, that you sought…

I, The Fifth
It seems it has been so long
So long
Choosing the path that has no return
Underneath your dark light
I have come to realize
Terror right before my eyes
Virtue in their sacrifice
Gathering around me
Demons calling my name
Take me from my mortal grave
Now I know my destiny
One word and I'll be your hand!
One word and I'll be your
Led by the light of my lord
Bringing the mercy of death on this world
Rivers of blood
Witness my work
All for the sake of his word
His eyes are looking at me
Taking me back to what I used to be
Sword in my hands
Nothing to fear
I'll purify them from their sins
As all of my doing's the ultimate love
As I'll make them free, there will be no remorse
"But how do you know"
Cause I've seen the truth with the eyes of my lord
This is my cause
I will bring peace for the sake of its word
Following the scent of death
Back to where it all began
I've been asked to kill them all
Take the life of those I love
Everything is standing still
Thanatos is watching me
As I'm making my first step
Hell on earth seems to collapse
(High scream preceeding the following phrase)
One word and I'll be your hand!
Led by the light of my lord
Bringing the mercy of death on this world
Rivers of blood
Witness my work
All for the sake of his word
His eyes are looking at me
Taking me back to what I used to be
Sword in my hands
Nothing to fear
I'll purify them from their sins
Mother
Tonight you'll be free
So don't be afraid of me
This is what we're meant to be
Father
Tonight we'll be one
So don't try to run
It's too late
To come back from everything we've become
Mother
Tonight you'll be free
So don't be afraid of me
This is what we're meant to be
Father
Tonight we'll be one
So don't try to run
It's too late
To come back from everything we've become

Misery

Misery
Carbonized moors
Miles across this world on fire
Echoes of these mortals
Death becomes a sweet desire
What you see as pain
Turns into the resolution
Bodies weak and frail
Yearning for the last redemption
"You spared my life
For this misery
But now I see
But now I see
Chaos and order
Right in front of me
How can it be?
HOW CAN IT BE?!"
There is no joy
There's no malevolence
This was their choice
But they don't understand
Now it is time
For you to take your stand
Submit and die
Or follow my command
Thousands of them
Beg for a second chance
Upwards the hill
Trying to save themselves
Come here my child
Become the consequence
And testify
The truth they cannot defy
In my mind
Thousands of screams
The human left in me
Is crushed under the weight of this choice
I'm paralyzed by fear but
There's no wrath
There is no joy
But their existence became worthless
And now that I see
I am the one who'll set them free
Here they come
They run to me
I know my hand is firm
As I go down
Down from the hill
I'll end their misery
And taste their blood
Glory of thee
This is my own redemption
Killing what is left of me
My journey now begins
In my mind
I can find peace
Free from this misery
They left this life
By my own hand
This is what they deserve cause
There's no wrath
There is no joy
Chaos before a whole new order
This is his word
This the faith upon us all
This the faith upon us all
And so I
Kill,Kill,Kill
More victims for his altar
Kill,Kill,Kill!
No one's left
No one breathes
Blood and flesh
On my feet
Their new life
Now begins
Cleansed from their
Humanity
No one's left
No one breathes
Blood and flesh
On my feet
Their new life
Now begins
Cleansed from their
Humanity
Every demon upon the hill
Is standing still as now
My lord stands right in front of my deed
"Will they devour me?"
In this silence reigning supreme
Few words come out of his lips
"Well done child of the end
You're now a part of me"
I stare at what I have done
No joy no morality
Then I get back to my feet
As my new journey begins
No joy no morality
As my new journey begins

Hades Warm Embrace

Hades Warm Embrace
The time has come
For me
To mend this world from impurity
Insanity
Humanity at its core
Destroy the emblems and their stones
Corrupted by their blasphemy
Beyond every sin
I will purge them from what they've become
Killing yourself in its name
Now have a look at what you've done
The day has come to end you all
And this will be your salvation
Avarice has become your God
I'll destroy every sign of your flaws
Every church, every shrine, and tomb
And in sickness, you're cursed to fall
Let them be supreme
Let them come and clean
Let their suffering
Purify their sins
The time has come
For you to burn and come to the other world
No mercy, no return
This is the end of it all
In pain and depravation
You're doomed to face the end of every soul
Everything you love
Every symbol you have come to adore
Right before your eyes
Hell has come to rise
Nothing left to embrace
Just your destiny
I will embrace my dark destiny
Hades warm embrace
I will go
I am death
I will go
I am

Thanatos
04:24

Come to me at last
A child in the end
Pursue your path
You've witnessed the truth
Right before your eyes
Our true fate
Purged by our hands
In the afterlife
They await
Lost in your word, now I realize
There is a reason I'm here
Saved from the depths of the darkest night
My role is still incomplete
I've seen with my eyes
The corruption of humankind
Doomed to our demise
You've seen our come and then watched them die
You followed my path and you testified
Before your eyes, I've seen my reason to be
There is one last soul to purify
One last corrupted to sacrifice
Torn by the truth right before my eyes
I know the last one is me
I know who I am
The incarnation of pestilence
I will join their end
You've seen our come and then watched them die
You followed my path and you testified
Before your eyes
This is your reason to be
Now I see the end
Purged by your fierce grace
I will cross this gate
Death, my last embrace

Death Walks The Earth
I can't see myself anymore, I only see what they see
In the mirror I see evil and violence, how could this be me?
And I can't feel a thing anymore, I'm numb to who I am
I feel the shivers on my skin, a mark of a heart gone cold
All alone, in pursuit of a purpose
Just not the one they gave me
I don't feel, so trying is worthless
Can't see the forest for the trees
Block it out, and just ignore it
Let it eat away inside
Just a number, my head to the floor
I won't live that life
It's a hell
In my head
This disease
It's widespread
The only cure, to take their life
An eye for an eye
How could they do this to me?
6 feet in the ground
There must be more to live than this
With their heads in the clouds
It's a hell
In my head
This disease
It's widespread
The only cure, to take their life
An eye for an eye
How could they do this to me?
6 feet in the ground
There must be more to live than this
With their heads in the clouds
A broken home, cannot be lived in
My mind's broken, so why am I alive?
A smile arises, on the surface
But inside, I know that it's a lie
Can you sleep
With the thought, of me
Breaking you down, and shutting you out, locking the door, your family, never see you again
Can you see
The hate, I see
Faced with a lie, that's burning inside, leaving a hole, a hole, where my heart once was
Can you hear
The loss in me
And if you scream, you'll know what I mean, the pain that you feel, I've felt it every waking moment
Can you feel
When hands, don't heal
Where is your god? Where has he gone? Now you're alone, break the mirror of self reflection
Blinded by the light at the end of all this pain
When we're dead and buried below, we are all the same
Hiding from the repurcussions, of the days gone past
You are not the first to wrong me, nor are you the last
I won't rest until the day that justice is served
But justice doesn't exist, so bleed from the wrist, and kiss the one's you'll miss
And I won't stop until my voice is heard
It's the last thing you'll hear, who you hold dear will never see you again

Empty Hearses
Life, in chains
Life, disdained
Pledge, your soul
Or together you'll fall
Die, in vain
Die one and the same
Nothing, can stop
The death of us all
Where I roam
Death follows
Break the seal
Look inside
(With) locked jaws
We are slain
See the cross
A sin in vain
Cry, in pain
Empty hearses
Lost their way
Empty promises
All hope lost
As we fall
Empty hearses
For the weakened
Now inherit
Life, but bleak
Hail, noble knight
For you have come
To lead us out
And into the darkest night
Pain
Pain
Rains on all

Wie schwer ist das Leben als Dummer August
Sein vollständiges Dasein steht im Dienst des grossen Trauerns
Das leidige Trauern endet nur, wenn man seine sterbliche Hülle abwirft und die stumme Maske aufsetzt
In das Sterben tönen die Echos des Lebens mit trister Resonanz
Lasst unsere Taten ewig nachhallen durch die Herzen und Seelen der Zuschauer
Lasst unser Leben weder Verzweiflungstat noch Reflex sein
