  1. ATOMIC RITES


Congregate the coven

The Manhattan Project

Invoking destruction

To conquer and protect


Reach into the nothingness

Invoke power from the void

What took millennia to grow

In seconds will be destroyed


We create the future

We will end your tomorrow

A new world will rise

From the ashes of war and sorrow


Atomic rites

Of unholy might

Kill all life

To win a fight


Standing at the Crossroads

We have chosen our path

The victors write history

In the glowing aftermath


We create the future

We will end your tomorrow

A new world will rise

From the ashes of war and sorrow


Atomic rites

Of unholy might

Kill all life

To win a fight


Atomic rites

Atomic rites



  1. BURNT BY MAGIC


Twisted hand of death

Carve runes in the air

Summon ancient fire

By spirits of despair


Praying for violence

The sermons they spoke

Eyes filled with hatred

Stare through the smoke


The scars will never heal

Only pain is real

Blistered and burnt – the lesson not learnt

It always ends in death


Burnt by Magic – fire within

Alpha and omega - beginning and the end

Burnt by Magic – touch of flame

Incinerated – nothing remains


A torrent of shadows

Overwhelming your soul

Forged in the darkness

That spirits control


Restless endeavor

To find the power

Consuming your being

Your will devoured


The scars will never heal

Only pain is real

Blistered and burnt – the lesson not learnt

It always ends in death


Burnt by Magic – fire within

Alpha and omega - beginning and the end


  1. SHATTERED MIND 


Not fit for this world anymore

Still caught in the nightmares of war

Days of grey, just floating around

Only waiting for that machine gun sound


A loud noise alerts all your senses

Something has crept ‘neath our defenses

I see them talk but don’t hear a word

Claiming they understand is quite absurd

Years of grey, just floating away

I guess this is the place I’ll stay


A loud noise alerts all your senses

Something has crept ‘neath our defenses


Shell-shocked - the nightmares won’t cease

Shell-shocked - there is no peace

Shell-shocked - the battle is no more

Shell-shocked - still you live in a never-ending war


Shattered Mind!


Not fit for this world anymore

Still caught in the nightmares of war

Days of grey, just floating around

Only waiting for that machine gun sound


A loud noise alerts all your senses

Something has crept ‘neath our defenses



  1. COVEN OF THE CRAWLING CHAOS


The goddess of death

An altar of flesh

Cower and kneel

fore bullets and steel

Cruel magic reigns

In terror and pain

None can withstand

Hell's horrid command


Enter the coven

Of the crawling chaos

Chaos comes crawling

World powers falling


The sisters of wyrd

Unknown yet feared

Giving unholy birth

To darkness on Earth

Chaos comes crawling

World powers falling

None can withstand

Hell's horrid command


Enter the coven

Of the crawling chaos

Chaos comes crawling

World powers falling


Enter the coven

Of the crawling chaos

Chaos comes crawling

World powers falling


  1. BLOOD MAGIC UNLEASHED


Artifacts of iron

The chalice and the scythe

Ritualistic items

Conveying death in life

Bodies shall arise

From the halls below

Upon the given word

Hell the world will know… unleash the inferno!


Chanting sermons

Summon the beast - Necromantic Priest

Death is life

Blood Magic Unleashed

Death is life

Blood Magic Unleashed


Blood Magic Unleashed

Blood Magic Unleashed


Symbols carved in stone

Speak of ancient times

Runes to summon evil

Through atrocious crimes

The ground will heave and shake

In this final hour

As the dead will live

And claim their arcane power


Chanting sermons

Summon the beast - Necromantic Priest

Death is life

Blood Magic Unleashed

Death is life

Blood Magic Unleashed




  1. SKULLS AND SPECTRES


He is the smith of nocturnal blades

Artist of nightmarish foes

Portal of all hellish plagues

Bringing the world endless woes


The world is his canvas

Upon it he wreaks havoc

Painting with pain

As absurdity reigns


He is the source of demonic lore

A channel for the world below

Creating terrors never seen before

Out of the depths of the inferno


The world is his canvas

Upon it he wreaks havoc


Skulls and spectres – death and myths

Skulls and spectres – the arcane smith

Skulls and spectres – he holds the key

Skulls and spectres – to insanity


On his anvil

Wrath is wrought

Conquest of souls

Sadistically sought





  1. BASTARDS OF WAR



Machine gun fire is their clarion call

The stench of gun powder and death

Marching fearlessly into the maw

Of the tanks' smoke-filled breath


Master the Madness

Enter the Storm

Call of Chaos

Death reborn


Bastards... Bastards of War

Bastards... Bastards of War


Corpses wander, yet they are still alive

Gaze fixed somewhere in the distance

Undying and unwanted

The bastards live to spite existence


Artillery from the depths of the void

A violent force to be deployed

Never ending source of wrath

The Bastards slaughter all in their path


Bastards... Bastards of War

Bastards... Bastards of War



  1. ACT OF DESECRATION


Atrocities

Casualties of war

Disgraced victory

Unethical gore

P.O.W.s

Humiliated

Dead bodies

Violated


A single death is a tragedy

A million deaths are merely a statistic


Act of Desecration

Victory and humiliation

Act of Desecration

Dishonored degradation


Defenselessly

They wait in fear

For their tormentors

To appear

Degraded and stripped

of human worth

Sleeping in filth

And eating dirt


Psychological trauma

Mock execution

Water boarding

To break their resolution


Act of Desecration

Victory and humiliation

Act of Desecration

Dishonored degradation



  1. MAGIC THROUGH HOLLOW EYES


Lifeless limbs

Decayed flesh

Live again

After death


Incantations

Summon the dead

Out of the darkness

Where souls have bled


Hollow eyes

Stare beyond

See the truth

Death has spawned


Incantations

Echo through the night

Resounding madness

Of the cosmic light


I see the magic

Magic through hollow eyes

I feel the magic

Magic through hollow eyes


Ghastly blades

Cut the webs

Conquering

Step by step


Incantations

Will lead the way

Create a new world

Beyond the grave


Incantations

Echo through the night

Resounding madness

Of the cosmic light


I see the magic

Magic through hollow eyes

I feel the magic

Magic through hollow eyes


Magic!


    10. UNDER THE IRON DOME


Clear blue sky

Impending strike

A rain of terror

To wipe out life


Its precise computation

Will defend the population


Death from above

Now intercepted

The citizens

Must be protected


Guarding our land and our home

Here we are safe

Under the Iron Dome


A Pillar of Defense

In a war that never ends


All weather air defense system

State of the art

Bring an end to the conflict

Before it starts



Death from above

Now intercepted

The citizens

Must be protected


Guarding our land and our home

Here we are safe

Under the Iron Dome

DETONATION DAY

The doomsday clock is ticking
The final hour's drawing near
Now there's only minutes left
Draped in stupidity and fear

The threat of the mushroom cloud
Has always been the final conclusion
Like the sword of Damocles
Hanging over the Throne of Evolution

The Devil comes to play
Blow the world away
As we celebrate
Detonation day

No more will we see a tomorrow
No sunlight upon my face
A final push on the button
Will see the end of the human race


HAMMER OF WAR

Crush down
No mercy
Annihilate
The enemy

The hammer of war’s unyielding
An august force to deploy
The hammer of war is falling
To crush and destroy
Hammer of War – unyielding
Hammer of War – is falling

Terminate
All before you
Raging war
Until we’re through

All ends when the hammer of war falls
All ends when the hammer falls

THE TOURNIQUET KILLINGS

I feel my life
slipping away
Growing weaker
My brain decays
The tourniquet
Around my neck
Keeps the blood
From reaching my head

The evidence is quite clear
These murders won’t disappear
He’s struck again out of hatred
Innocent victims suffocated

Tourniquet!
Another victim of the tourniquet killings…
Tourniquet!
Another victim of the tourniquet killings…

I feel your life
Slipping away
By my design
To kill my prey
The tourniquet
Around your neck
Won’t be opened
Until you’re dead


ATTRITION WARFARE

Relentless fire rains down from the sky
The city is laid under siege
We fear that soon the end is nigh
Relieving forces are out of reach

Noone will ever win
We just keep fighting
Noone will ever win
Noone will ever win
We just keep on fighting
Noone will ever win
This War of Attrition

All forms of communication are cut off
Day by day our world closes in
Yet we fight until we exist no more
We die or we win

DEATH’S LIFE

Death burns in me
I see through his eyes
I feel the urge
To conquer lives

Death’s Life – lives in me
I am – mortality
Death’s Life – dies with me
I am – the last you’ll ever see

The cold mist that surrounds
Has now entered me
There is only one way
To set the demon free

I am death, I am not me anymore
Death no longer stands by my side
I am death, I am not me anymore
Death has now stepped inside


WAR REIGNS

Corroded steel
Still cuts deep
Warheads awake
From rusty sleep
Armed and ready
To retaliate
Infinite arsenals
Will obliterate

Through tortured screams of pain
War reigns

Screams of anguish
Devastation
Wiping them out
In retaliation
Where once there stood
A great nation
Remains now only
Desolation


DEMON CORE

Tread carefully, my friend
This road leads to the end
The end of the world as we once knew it
And you know what will come
Yes, you know what will come

We harness the might
Of unseen powers
To create the future of modern warfare
Step over the line
A little further
Now there’s no way out of the Demon’s lair

Entwining peace and war
As we invoke the Demon Core
A force they can’t ignore
When we unleash the Demon Core
The world we knew before – lost forevermore
As we invoke the Demon Core

In the name of science
And humanity
We must push onward to reach a higher state
Meet me by the Crossroads
Meet me by the Crossroads
Meet me by the Crossroads
  where we must choose our fate


THE MASTER OF REVENGE

Blood spills
Someone dies
Honour
must be rectified
No prayers
Can save
Retribution
Beyond the grave

There's only one way
to retaliation
There's only one way
to retaliation

Ancient blood
Dictates
Rules and laws
Of man’s fate
Thirst undying
Blood will appease
Storm of anger
The hate won’t cease

I call upon
The Master of Revenge.. The Master!
The Master of Revenge.. The Master!




WAR MAGIC

Black smoke comes rolling on the plain
Infernal clouds bring acid rain
Legions assemble to attack
From beyond death, they have come back

Blood Magic
Human sacrifice
War Magic
See the dead arise

Death chilling howls tear through the night
Dark soldiers stand to kill the light
All vegetation swiftly dies
Where the horrid army rides

Bastards of War… Bastards… Bastards…
Bastards of War… Bastards… Bastards…
