Metu Mortis 05:02
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.

Devils Pact 01:38
4.
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 04:39
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 04:59
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 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
