The Heathen Church
04:14
|
|||
|
Innocent mother dying defiled
The clergy had betrayed
The father looked at her wounds and smiled
As the clergy licked the blades
He proudly declares on this sacred night
Satan's child will come to be
He'll lead the fight against the Christian right
And set their people free
Chorus 1:
Out in the fields there is no sound
Til a lone wolf starts to howl
Warriors crawl out of the ground
Satan's legions on the prowl
Now the witching hour has struck
The mother cries in pain
The father feels the souls amuck
Emerging from her blood stains
With one last push before her death
The Serpent Seed has bloomed
A wicked soul is given breath
Satan's child can now consume
Chorus 2:
Riding hounds of hell they start the search
For the worshippers that call
Now they reach the Heathen Church
And wait outside the walls
Evil heathens dead and defiled
The Dark Lord had betrayed
They gave birth to his wicked child
And began his black crusade
Those who didn't meet the creature's eyes
Managed to escape the church
But Satan meets them with surprise
And kills them from his perch
Chorus 3:
They unite as father and son
With no word for man's laments
Thy kingdom come thy helpers shunned
As Revelations commense

Flesh, Blood & Bone
02:51
|
|||
|
Bound to a rock
As the lamb stares in shock
Afraid of what may unfold
Something comes into view
As he's stirring the brew
What is the thing that the Servant holds
It looks like a child
From a mother defiled
A withered body with a demon's face
Into the pot
Within seconds the spot
Has a figure standing in its place
Chorus:
Flesh of the Servant
Blood of the Foe
Bone of the Father
The pot starts to glow
Now they behold
He is restored
Words once foretold
The rising of the Dark Lord
Standing like a ghost
To his legions he boasts
As he looks at the prisoner with spite
Waiting so long
For the weak to be strong
He has prepared to finish the fight
His strength he will show
When he murders the doe
The first step of securing his rule
The time has come now
And with a final bow
The two champions are ready to duel
The warriors clash
And the Lamb is outmatched
It seems the wicked have claimed the day
With an unforeseen spell
Evil's sins are expelled
And attack him in the melee
The Lamb flees the land
With his brother in hand
Barely surviving the Master's might
He knows what's in store
That the second war
Will be an even more savage fight
Chorus

The Great Reward
04:51
|
|||
|
Is death a thing of honor
An immortal taste of fame
Or does it bring you horror
To be a forgotten name
It always seems worth wanting
When a comrade is to die
Yet you'll use it in your taunting
As you scream your battle cry
Chorus:
Now they come the souls enticed
Don't they look so surprised
Exchanging fame for sacrifice
The truth's unanalyzed
To Valhalla your friends will go
Death is the Great Reward
And Hades will consume the foes
That have fallen to your sword
To send you on the killing floor
A bribe is all it is
Our country will not win the war
Unless the other dies for his
Chorus
Hell is the inferno
That threatens all mankind
Heaven is the smoke that grows
Poisoning your mind
Only when despair is vast
Will I bow down for my gods
But that is when they have passed
My logic is so flawed

Mortal Pride
03:20
|
|||
|
Into the city they gather
Men of the earth now unite
Nomads who once were all scattered
Desire to show off their might
Speaking with only one tongue
Building their own paradise
But daring to climb the rungs
Would lead to the greatest price
With mortal eyes open wide
Their tower would soon reach the sun
To punish them for their pride
The Lord knew what had to be done
The twisting of tongues was born
So no one could understand
And with society torn
Paradise was out of their hands
Chorus:
Building a tower
Made of their mortal stone
Showing their power
And challenging the throne
Having lost the odds
Their languages blurred
The Voice of God
Will never be heard
Do you see a contradiction
Just what is the divine aim
Humanity kept in constriction
Told to be good in their shame
Your towers will always crumble
Your tongues will always be split
Unless you are always humble
A lap dog for this hypocrite
Chorus

The Serpent Seed
02:34
|
|||
|
Rip the heart out of my chest
Never let it make a sound
In pieces may the old me rest
May he never emerge from his mound
Those who claim to know me
They only knew the old
I don't wish for your sympathy
I wish my pain on you sevenfold
Chorus:
I am the devil's breed
Here to teach mankind his creed
Here to serve your every need
I am the Serpent Seed
Brighter than a thousand stars
Let my own light be my guide
The mark I bare his lifeless body scarred
The very emblems of my pride
I can't reach for all I want achieved
If I bow down and obey
A man who was from fire conceived
Mustn't heed a man of clay
Chorus

Master of Medusa
04:36
|
|||
|
Legend recalls me
For I'm its master
Keeping the head of the snake-haired spellcaster
Many I've seen frozen
Hardened where they stand
Never knowing the nature of what's in my command
Chorus 1:
Fear lurks in the monster's eyes
That ends your life on sight
Everything you thought had died
Is brought into the light
Terror so primal and dark
Turned to stone where you once stood
But the fear will stop your heart
Before the turning ever could
Used through the ages
Wondered what could be
Lurking behind her eyes is curiosity
Turned it to face me
Some claim suicide
It's not a demon but an innocent bride
Chorus 1
Her face will seen when
You're not afraid
Death is so patient
A promise is made
With a kiss on her lips
She's claimed by the sea
Who will she torment
Never to be me
Chorus 2:
Fear lurked in the monster's eyes
That ends your life on sight
But all of my madness has died
Nothing to bring to light
Terror so primal and dark
Won't affect me where I stood
Or the love within my heart
For the turning never could

Prove Your Worth
06:05
|

|
Sail every ocean and scale every peak
And claim anything dare remain
Driven by Freya to find what we seek
Only the deserving reign
Pre-Chorus:
Thor calls his children to meet with their fate
Thunder cracks as he strikes the bell
Proud for they know Valhalla awaits
And they'll each have a story to tell
Through the darkest storms they will steer
Only for death will they yield
Showing no mercy and showing no fear
Even if Loki is on the field
Pre-Chorus:
They follow the order of the war god Tyr
Their enemies' weaknesses revealed
The Eye of Odin shines the sky is now clear
Holy light reflects off their shields
Chorus:
Those who die
Are prepared
Prove your worth
Join us there
We will fight
You must train
Until we
Meet again
Chorus

The Final Mystery
07:38
|
|||
|
Eighteen times have I come to this world
Letting my forces spread through the fields
Standing silent in this space
Learning the secrets from beneath the earth
When returning to this realm of being
I've often forgotten the legends I've heard
Always back to this cold forest
Searching still for the Final Mystery
Chorus:
Controlling what I recall and forget
Advancing in this holy hunt
Now I scavenge the blood of memories
My purpose is being fulfilled
Eighteen times have I come to this world
Though this time is my first and last
I gaze up at the triple moons
Caressing the scales adorning my side
Chorus
