Graveworm Ascending Hate 1. The Death Heritage For this is your empire This is your playing court Here you own the night Let them fear you all The only true is blood Staring through the eyes of death Hear the howling beasts Fear their bloodlust I see the splendour The secrets of hell From the ashes Again the death will rise You show no mercy Unleash the ancient fears The Death Heritage – we live for the kill I hear the tortured screams Where the fight has just begun Feel the hopeless breath Agonizing sound of Death Paralyzed through fear Struggling for our will to lie The final curtain falls Where the last stands still My blood – my fear – my soul The sounds of Death It's time to bleed My blood – my fear – my soul I shoot your faith straight to hell You rise up from the deep To bring the end of time Extinction awaits for all Pure and endless pain The rage that burns inside When we all are gone Unleash the night A new world is born He ruled the night He filled our soul with dread Suffering despair Die for fearless pain The fire that burns around We went through living hell The dead reborn 2. Buried Alive In the land of broken faceless minds The fury of the mighty shield, God's curse Captured in lies, sentenced As the rage of blood flows like rain For the power of lions and men We let them suffer in pain – again! We lead the forces – our path has been laid You will never see what they see When you die for your dream You will never feel what they feel Because you're buried alive We reach the gate, the tunes of war are blown The buried smell of death, your fear We suffocate their life! They need a slave to do the kill Walls of temple, a broken existence The price of war must be paid Dead – free of all our sins I see the fire again Nothing will be like when a dead man cries Suffocate, I'm buried alive Nothing will be heard, tremble with fear Blind, I'm buried alive 3. Blood, Torture And Death Once we were scum of the Earth Now we're forces of death Struggling the souls of human race Bound by chains, the savior of hate Awaiting the day to die Soldiers defy – my final breath Broken and defeated Bring me to the afterlife Bring me to the end Blood, torture and death Blind the hate of the world Crush the enemies of hope Conquer the land of the slaves Spread the seed, change their way The world falls into dark Fuelled by hate, crucify (the might) Blood, torture and death Blood, torture and death Broken and defeated Bring me to the afterlife Bring me to the end Blood, torture and death Once we were scum of the Earth Now we're forces of death Struggling the souls of human race Bound by chains, the savior of hate Awaiting the day to die Soldiers defy – my final breath 4. To The Empire Of Madness I pull the trigger, release the faithless fear The sign of daemons appears He's been called where the crusher strikes back The age of terror, illusions and death One thousand years of tyranny and blood Soon a new world will arise from the deep We fight once more against the Age of Fear From ashes to ashes and dust to dust We keep the faith alive, now everything will burn Sons of fire – release me from this world To the Empire of Madness For all the blood and death To the Empire of Madness When all is gone, we turn into dust We fight to die – my hate will grow again We stand alone – I will have revenge The demons' army – the weapons they fear The number of the beasts released And those who chose to stand up and fight Leave the land; the flame arises again There is no time to hesitate The old time leaves – no rest in peace In the face of certain death We fight once more ... 5. Downfall Of Heaven Death will strike again I feel the wrath – this is the final stand I feel the shame – when I cross your path I want to hear the screams I want to feel the pain I will control your mind and thoughts I've searched for blood – the vengeance unfolds For every single thing – your destiny is mine Your destiny is mine! I walk the path of life again This is something I shall not forget Never doubt the power of life I will stand my ground for my god Guard your strength Approaching the end Light your sign March toward Death I see your world – before it starts to burn I feel the hate – when you crushed the ground Open the gates of hell I see the fire burn A new-found path – and endless wrath The army rises – the shadows of past Only vengeance will give me pleasure So now we fight the world again An ancient legion breaks the chains We draw our strength rising to the sky Let the Heaven fall once again Let the Heaven fall once again I brought to life My legions unleashed With dark deception they serve to kill The downfall of Heaven It will never rise again 6. Stillborn Explode the fire of ravage Five times I face the breathless My thoughts are ruling the world In search for freedom I draw the lines One million times before I die To feel the dark as I fall apart Struggle against the way of life In search for dreams I cry for my soul Caught in the lie of godless crime You are stillborn – no feelings are mine Don't throw the page – don't throw the life You are stillborn – vanish through the sky Living between life and death Feeling the blind so unreal Losing your mind as gone blind Reborn without a sense Screaming, dying, fearing the dark Shattered frames of death Reborn a goddamned lie Stillborn – there's no way back Reborn a world of silence Five times I walk the path Again I'm fearing the unknown A deadly poison – the only way to be Living between life and death Feeling the blind so unreal Losing your mind as gone blind Reborn without a sense Feeling empty inside yourself Shattered frames of death Reborn a goddamned lie Stillborn – there's no way back There's no way back – stillborn 7. Liars To The Lions Their lies are falling A thousand smiles No matter how you scream For vengeance I wanna see you bleed A thousand dead to drain you to a quiet place I see the Death Torture your soul You call the name of your god Can't waiting, can't breathing Until I'm final death Still lying, still praying I'm not afraid of you Can't seeing, can't screaming I've reached the end of life I'm waiting, I'm fearing Until the lions' law And now your life is ending For all the lies you've done The flesh ripped in half Throw away your soul Your blood spilled out We don't give a fuck Bleed for the gods Terminate with fear and hate I dread his wearing A thousand times It sets me free to fear your hate My thoughts are crushing In thousand pieces How long it takes until you fall I see the fear I rip your flesh And you will never rise again Can't waiting, can't breathing Until I'm final death Still lying, still praying I'm not afraid of you Can't seeing, can't screaming I've reached the end of life I'm waiting, I'm fearing Until the lion's – the lions' law 8. Rise Again How do you breathe in the fire, How do you walk with fear? Tell me what's so grand Tell me is this the end Fire – let them burn Fire – kill them all But a growing pain cannot explain behavior Fire – strike back Fire – no escape Throw your blood, I'll be waiting for resistance When time is despised The mindless goes blind What will there be left? Your blood on the field And there will be dead Beside the new-born A fear of the unknown Death in the shape In Death – we shall conquer the night In Death – we are searching for more In Death – we swallow the lies In Death – we will rise again 9. Son Of Lies I have destroyed every sign of your life Rot in hell – son of a bastard rise There is no lie that I can't survive Your self-deception, killed by your god When it's time to dying It's always time for crying Can't you see, I'm not your enemy Son of lies We stroke the fear so deep Son of lies Your visions still remain Into the lies Arise from the sea of lies Escape towards my fears The shades of vengeance Stand before my eyes Despise all the weak Unfold forgotten time The death revenge Terrorize with pain Will you lie again? Will you fear me? You have to die for me I have to be the one You have to be the one Son of lies You have to be the last one 10. Nocturnal Hymns II (The Death Anthem) We suffer their lives The chains of despair Eternally we'll crush and bleed Running through woods they're so black Prophets of lies Be free from their pain They fear the night of the unholy shield Before we die by war So the death finally comes to us The foreign might could be crushed We face the death with pride Only proud men stand 'till the end And all the night seems to fade A dark night – the ravens fly With raw and brutal force Unholy legions break the temple doors Out of the night – into the dark Where demons – dance by my side And godless creatures – fight for their lives The might is strong – The fear of the sword The legions are ready to fight No mercy for life No fear of the line Only a crowd of the brave The ground at their feet Soaked with blood Our enemies' bodies around I hear the thunder ashore Awaiting the battle No fear of the death They shall be crushed – erase them from Earth Shattered will – the demons unfold My face is the last thing you will see Pray for the beast – a desperate cry Their hearts pound like never before The world shall be your grave The sign for a demon to attack As the legion marches on Ravenous crows drenched in seed All that's left are the echoes of their cries Behold the wrath of the fallen The darkest pits in the abyss The gates of hell open wide Hear the anthem that speaks of our death Hear the anthem of our death Stefan Unterpertinger — Guitars Stefan Fiori — Vocals Maschtl Innerbichler — Drums Eric Righi — Guitars Florian Reiner — Bass
