Twice Blessed
In the bowels of the church
Lied an altar of stone and birch
Bearing the stench of death
Under the knife for a final breath
To pay for forbidden power
Blood price at the witching hour
Tears of offerings when they wept
Each one jarred and kept
To feed a desire growing swift
For the elder god's tainted gift
So the offering goes
Then the presents...
Lied an altar of stone and birch
Bearing the stench of death
Under the knife for a final breath
To pay for forbidden power
Blood price at the witching hour
Tears of offerings when they wept
Each one jarred and kept
To feed a desire growing swift
For the elder god's tainted gift
So the offering goes

Light In Heaven And Hell
To boreal Heaven above
To blistering Hell below
When push comes to shove
And the divines must show
Against the serpent deceiver
On the battle plains of night
Harken the call of the believer
Deliver both sides will the light
With prayer on their lips
And offerings give rise
Driven forth by searing whips
As the holy angel flies
...

Deliver both sides will the light
With prayer on their lips

Driven forth by searing whips
As the holy angel flies

Smiling Death
From the land of the plague,
A prophecy so vague,
Written on the grave,
Of heroes once brave,
Death came calling,
So the demons came crawling,
Spewing their putrid breath,
Granting a smiling death,
The bodies are fed to flames,
Their existence is going to be the same,
They shall wear a final grin,
When they breath in the infernal sin,
...

Hosanna Deus
Blessed in the light
Holy Kingdom of Jerusalem center of might
Sending messages by angel wings
Art thou forever my king?
Grant me thy will deathless
Shepard among the relentless
Sword against the serpent deceiver
Thy light shines through a believer
Son killed on the cross
A death with no loss
Your son you gave
To raise from the grave
Grant us the holy realm
Our crosses adorn our helms
A cross of red on field of white
In the desert...

Scepter Of The Skull
End of times for mortals,
A gaze into a nightmarish portal,
All that is left is ruin and bone,
The remains that couldn't atone,
Only one remains,
Traded his humanity for ungodly gains,
He rules this blasted land,
A cracked scepter rests in his hand,
Paler than the bones left in the ditch,
The dark majesty of a skeletal witch,
Time erased the mask of his skin,
...

The Vengeful Sword
Vengeance is the law for thee
A million times the blade comes free
Always it ends without a head
The loser decapitated falls over dead
Look into steel blue eyes
From these windows see how you die
Battle rage makes hearts pound
A barbarian answering to the Lord of The Mound
Greatest gift was iron will
Even without weapons it can kill
For a thousand miles deep
It slays the horrors that creep
Wielded by a Northern brute
Exploits sung by bards on their...

Even without weapons it can kill

The Evil That Men Do
Let me tell you a tale,
Of a long forgotten deed bleak and pale,
Yet harrowing was the wickedness of the deed,
Oh so many had to bleed,
'Twas a night like no other,
Where men actually acted like brothers,
Except for one little soul,
With a stirring dark beyond his control,
Hatred burned deep in his eyes,
In his mind people would viciously die,
He spent the night...

Where men actually acted like brothers,
Except for one little soul,
With a stirring dark beyond his control,
Hatred burned deep in his eyes,
In his mind people would viciously die,

Majesty Of The Seraph
Songs of light escape their lips
To bless all six wings never clipped
Gathered by the creator's throne
A heavenly choir making sinners atone
Singing the Lord's praise
The mighty are gifted and raised
To be an audience to these higher beings
Whose glow across the universe sheens
Immortal against the flow of time
They speak in melodies and rhyme
For their music is for...

The Warlock's Execution
From a throat choked by rope
Came the guttural cry of lost hope
As the lunatics mobbed
Had his dignity robbed
Shackled maimed feet
Led by his noose through the streets
Tore asunder both wings
All behold the fallen warlock king
Third eye plucked out
No more demon tongue
Or incantations spawning from his lungs
Make him slave to...

Tore asunder both wings

Or incantations spawning from his lungs

Blood In The Snow
The hussars strike them down
Knights of the black cross about to break
Their marshall is struck dead
Poles and Lithuians gain ground ahead
Then the warmaster came
In blood he was caked
Rallied his knights around him
Teutonic crosses adorn his aromor
He rides down the hussars with a charge
Prussian crossbows release bolts in a barrage
Polish horse men are pierced by the iron hail
Dead liter the field and the fight drags on into the night
They break and the Polish...
Knights of the black cross about to break

Whim Of A Darkspawn
Chaotic is the night
As dawn dies so does the light
Out come the shadow's dance
Lulling the world to the stillness of a trance
Making the seers blind
And darkening the mind
Making sinners out of saints
Morningstar reveals his taint
Deeds done under cover of dark
All bearing evil's unholy mark
God turns a blind eye
To his creations as they suffer and die
Tonight the demons ride
A lust for sin deep inside
Spreading an unholy blaze
...

Semper Inferi
All burn in the firey place
Tormented by a demonic race
Realm of the infernal
Relish in pain eternal
Impaled on an obsidian sword
A sacrifice for his infernal Lord
A fate equal to lice
Flames burn and consume twice
All accept pain in beast's lair
A demon and damned form a pair
An unholy union of blood
To roast in magma and boiling mud
An infernal choir of screams
Punishment from Lucifer's dreams
Soon you may atone
Purified you...
Tormented by a demonic race
Realm of the infernal
Relish in pain eternal
Impaled on an obsidian sword
A sacrifice for his infernal Lord
A fate equal to lice
Flames burn and consume twice
All accept pain in beast's lair

An unholy union of blood
To roast in magma and boiling mud
An infernal choir of screams
Punishment from Lucifer's dreams
