Abazagorath Sacraments of the Final Atrocity 1. Sacraments of the Final Atrocity Cathedrals debauched Reconsecrated for evils devotion As the end of times draws close A new order takes hold Anointed in blood Baptized into the service of hell Repent all goodness Rejoice in thy sins most foul Give us this day our daily bread Cannibalize the putrid meat of the failed savior We offer ourselves as soldiers of the un-christ An army to incite the ultimate calamity Sanctify us with your gift Seven rites of passage to be endured To make us one with you - eternally The sacraments of the final atrocity Case aside - the chains of servitude Behold the new gospel in flames Cauterize and eliminate meakness Of a faith consigned to extinction Immerse us in the bliss of insatiable vice Pleasures of the flesh and blood thrust to levels unbound Anoint the sick, sensibilities perverted As twisted minds rejoice in the vile lunacy Accept the vows of the unholy one One word, one will to determine our fate Conjure the apocalyptic fires of cleansing Souls purified as the flesh burns away As a shepherd who tends to his flock Leads us into the glory of your kingdom 2. Ancient Steel We rule the night Our hearts are strong For a thousand years We lay in wait Ancient magick Propelled against the strength of time From darkened places mysterious Opened gates release swirling unearthly mist Our might has returned Over nightrealms we flew Channeling our power ad hate From Darkness We Rise To conquer the dying faith Ancient steel! Ancient steel! Demons roar apocalypse Triumph in fire The dead have joined our side Bathed in the gleam of ten million shields Storming war on the steps of heaven Bathed in the spray of angel's blood We swear the ancient oath of black By the wrath of damnations We are crowned - with fists to the sky Now and forever A crumbling earth Cradling the dying men of god Impaled on the spiked tridents of Hell Steel blasphemers descending Our race has gathered in victory On the bloodied battlefields Megiddo, our strength The ashes of tetragrammaton Fade in flames Faith dies... so mote it be! 3. And the Skies Opened Wings of death unfurl Embraced by the force of black Lined up possessors Armageddon's warriors Soon to be reborn Eyes are rolling backward Fangs and claws emerge from skin Earthquakes exploding through our flesh Together we shall join the coming race Victory... With triumph, strength and might We procure thy hellish mark Through monumental cruelty Come forth... Over the plains of earth Embrace the treachery of man As the skies released their thundering wrath Distant voices echo in the night We have seen delight In cosmic chaos - Black as Hell Skin hard and scaled Soon to be reborn... 4. The Citadel of Lies The breath beneath an obscene gaze, Emerged in a tempest, intense and violent. From the foulest gouge of oppression. Stormed a burning unclean air Ominous black shadows, Overtake the fortress, Consume in the ground dead, The whores of devotion Lay impregnated with my sins, Burning in the cunts of christ. Beneath the moon and evil sign, A sun obscured in their blood Like a thick velvet robe, stifling, Enveloped in its embrace. Standing to spit upon the cross of god, Smothering the embers of deceit I am the fallen angel The murderous winds of desire and hate, Rising from the seas of our soul, Like the black fog that clings to the mountains. Rising from below Hung an old oak. Say nay to those whose stiffened limbs, Sway on elongated necks, yet they may look towards you Those priests that hang like leaves on dead limbs, Against the blackened skies of my mind 5. Lifeless Stare into the emptiness, That is in my eyes. Feel the cold draw you in. Plummet into the void I walk upon your earth, Yet I am not here. I see your wretched existence, Yet I feel nothing A moribund soul, Trapped in mortal flesh. I am among you, Yet I am lifeless. I've felt your scorn, You've attacked me and tried to break me. Your chains have tried to bind me Wounded so many times, That now I feel no pain. My body an empty vessel, Devoid of what you call a soul Why should I fear the Hell that you speak of when it fills the emptiness left by my dying essence A moribund soul trapped in mortal flesh, I am among you yet I am lifeless Do you dare to know, The contempt that festers, The disgust that storms, In these internal chasms, How can one with no heart, Feel what you call love Detached from the pettiness of your miserable cycle, Breeding, wasting, perishing. A swarm of filthy insects. In time I've come to learn that my humanity was a necessary sacrifice In order to be granted the greater wisdom, I am towering over your weakness, You crawl so far below, Cower as my iron-clad spite descends to crush A moribund soul, Trapped in mortal flesh. I am among you, Yet I am lifeless 6. Weapon of Unholy Wrath Satan - possess my soul, Satan -grant me your strength, Form me into a weapon of your unholy wrath Cast your will upon me. Make me a slave in your thrall. I shall execute your command with a thirst for revenge May I feel the torments of countless hellbound souls May their rage manifest within my violent acts Forged - as if from steel, Brandished - in your right hand. Make me an instrument, Of your hate and vengeance A blade that will cut Holy hypocrites down, A hammer to smash the walls of their temples, A fire that will burn Their scriptures of lies, A spear to impale their meaningless god Laying siege to this kingdom of deceit. Waging a war of unholy genocide. The shreds of their slaughtered dogma, Lie like corpses on a blood-stained field Satan - make me a key to open the gates of Hell, To cast my wretched victims into the pits of unending suffering The cries of fallen heretics cease to haunt me, Long vengeful souls find peace through retribution......Vengeance! The battle has been one. My deeds have been done, A blade with no more purpose, I fall to the gore drenched earth. A blade that cut holy hypocrites down A hammer that smashed the walls of their temples, A fire that burned their scriptures of lies A spear that impaled their meaningless god Satan - possess my soul. Satan - grant me your strength Form me into a weapon of your unholy wrath. 7. Where the Depths Last Forever The sign appears, one we shall recognize Damnations of all we once held dear - prepare to die. Vortex of black touches down consuming all in its path. Life choked free in bloodstains as the earth is ripped apart We were able to obtain unlimited knowledge from elder worlds. Dying spirits barely able to see holocaust winds Dark celestial bodies descending at them... through rifts in time Ruined in the aftermath As all goes cold Fueled by tremendous forces of nature Your spirit is left behind We shall rejoice in the memories of a fading light We shall rejoice in the foreboding dream We shall rejoice in eternal grief We shall rejoice... We shall rejoice Only we can know This everlasting dream Where the sun never rises Where the depths last forever 8. Buried in Hell Reek of blood fills the air Broken bones lay crushed in ancient battle Only decay, rusted swords and shields remain To mark their graves in the frozen ground Priests recant any knowledge Unconsecrated ground, unholy and cursed In the distance watch the corpses rise again To avenge their bloody deaths Tormented Driven by the undead pain Beasts of war unrepentant A day for revenge for the slain Raging swords rip the desecrated earth The reek of old death rises The lust to rape and pillage The glory of destruction and war Fear in the eyes of the living As death forsakes its domain Frozen in terror of ancient tales The innocents pray to the bastard As the eternal darkness sets in In its colorless pain Cities necrotized Wastelands lay among the cemeteries Of disaster... 9. Death and Necromancy Chaos is growing in my tomb Grave garments removed - dried maggots Before me dances the ghoul, Belial Rouse me from my sleep, wicked profane evil Clawing at an old torch Grim teeth biting bones - dancing on my grave I am a shade in an old place Rouse my morbid ancient spirit Lead me to a strange throne Demon dancers thin and black Spinal spikes and claws Eyes red as embers Cold foul stench Black Metal symphony Strike my skull with blood In my claw place a sword Medieval evil Fire and wickedness They shall fear the growing plague Return of Black Death Revolt in pestilence Disturbed ancient rest Lead me into this mouth of hell Deep below the crypt Words of power uttered In a loud of ageless dust Curses cast upon the false Hatred spanning the centuries
