Lay Down Rotten
Deathspell Catharsis



1. Cassandra's Haunting

Nothing will ever be the same.
All will die, your Blood will stain these Gowns.
Death comes on cloven Hoofs as A thousand Fires burn.
An Ambush so insidious.

This is the Prophecy, this is the Sacrilege.
No more Lies, no more this Pain.

This is the divine Prophecy.

Cursed and haunted.
Hear my Words, listen to my Screams.

Maim our Souls in A violent Frenzy under Siege.
Life is betrayal.
A divine Curse.
Forever lost in the defiled Crypt of my lifelong Misery.

This is the Prophecy, this is the Sacrilege.
No more Lies, no more this Pain.

I hear the Roar of War coming closer.

Cursed and haunted.
Hear my Words, listen to my Screams.

Feverish Nightmares torment my fearful Mind.
The Day we will die is not far away.

I count the Hours, I know the Time.
I have waited for so long.

Endless devastating Horror.
Eternal Domination in the Afterworld.
The Dead will rise from their Graves to mourn those...
...who have died in pitiful Shame.

This is the Prophecy, this is the Sacrilege.
No more Lies, no more this Pain.

Nothing will ever be the same.
All will die, your Blood will stain these Gowns.
Death comes on cloven Hoofs as A thousand Fires burn.
An Ambush so insidious.

Cursed and haunted.
Hear my Words, listen to my Screams.
I abandon myself to Despair.
Never will I rest in Peace.


2. Deathspell Catharsis

Advancing once more.
Lost in A dying World.
Bloodhounds on my Trail.
The Horrors I dread revealed again.

Deathspell Catharsis.
Martyrium Omnium Maiestatis.
Nocturnal March towards Megiddo.
Per Omnia Saecula Saeculorum.

Beneath the Cry of Redemption.
Await the Day of blackened Breath.
Skeletal Earth bound in Sin and Shame
Resurrected from the foul Stench.

Deathspell Catharsis.
Martyrium Omnium Maiestatis.
Nocturnal March towards Megiddo.
Per Omnia Saecula Saeculorum.

Abolish life once and for all.
The Urge comes in spectral Waves.
Sublime and yet so cold.
Above Underworld.
Beyond the sane diminished Deception.
Spread among our Lines.
The Fall of Time will bury all in Darkness.

God of Gods!
Reveal yourself to me.

God of Gods!
Reveal yourself to me.


Deathspell Catharsis.
Martyrium Omnium Maiestatis.
Nocturnal March towards Megiddo.
Per Omnia Saecula Saeculorum.

A million Ways to die.
Only one to stay alive.
Pathetic Tragedy is revealed for the Soulless.
The Fall of Time will bury all in Darkness

God of Gods!
Reveal yourself to me.

God of Gods!
Reveal yourself to me.

God of Gods!
Reveal yourself to me.


3. Schädelberg

Gebeugt von der Last der Lügen.
Der Kadaver aufgebahrt am Galgenhof.
Asche regnet in verzerrte Fratzen.
Ihr schafft das Reich das euch belohnt.

Pein gestraft der Hass der Schwachen.
Sie tragen ihre Toten fort.
Verachtung peitscht doch jedes Wort.
Ein Pfuhl der Missgunst lodert roh.

Schädelberg.
Vermächtnis der Lügen.
Schädelberg.

Angefachtvom Spott der Tobenden.
Die Nacht befällt das Weltengrab.
Verborgen in der blanken Angst.
Der Hoffnung letzter Atemzug.
Mensch du verrätst dein eigen Sein.
Nichts war, nichts wird sein.

Schädelberg.
Vermächtnis der Lügen.
Schädelberg.

Parasiten im faulen Leib des Elenden.
Gellend traf der erste Stein.
Ausgenommen in den Scherben.
Der letzte Kampf erstarb im Anfang.

Zorn bricht das Schweigen der Entehrten.
Wahnsinn rast aus tausend Kehlen.

Staub bedeckt die Schlachtenfelder.
Das Antlitz verbarg der Augen Niedertracht.

Der Tod ist rein.
Pein gestraft der Hass der Schwachen.
Sie tragen ihre Toten fort.
Verachtung peitscht doch jedes Wort.
Ein Pfuhl der Missgunst lodert roh.

Schädelberg.
Vermächtnis der Lügen.
Schädelberg.

Schreie reizen die Gier nach Rache.
Ich bin es, ich war es Immerfort.


4. The Fever

Dead, we are dead.
All dead.

Dead, we are dead.
All dead.

Dead... dead... dead.
Dead... dead... dead.

Dead, we are dead.
All dead.

Dead, we are dead.
All dead.

Dead, we are dead.
All dead.

Dead, we are dead.

Damned uncreation.
Cut open the Vein.
Flesh as pure as Bitterness.
Beware of the Sinner's Hands.
Doomed by the Worshippers of great Desasters.

Rising high upon A bloody Overture to open the blackened Gates.

Rising high upon A bloody Overture to open the blackened Gates.
It's in my Blood, it's in my Guts.
Poisoned by the last Deceiver.

I Am Hellbound.
Fading Schemes vanishing before my very Eyes.
Twilight of the Neverworld.
Demons feeding on my Spine.
Beyond the Tower of Sorrow I swallow my Screams.

Dead, we are dead.
All dead.

Dead, we are dead.
All dead.

Dead, we are dead.
All dead.

The Beast has bitten me.
Lungs on Fire, grey Skin on dry Bones.
Cast in Stone the final Thoughts.
A cold Grave for the Lifeless.

Incarcerated, my Eyes are in Cages.
In Vein the Sinners Temptations.
A hellish Nightmare, insane in A Dream.
The Dead disdain the Living.

Rising high upon A bloody Overture to open the blackened Gates.

Rising high upon A bloody Overture to open the blackened Gates.
It's in my Blood, it's in my Guts.
Poisoned by the last Deceiver.

Damned uncreation.
Cut open the Vein.
Flesh as pure as Bitterness.
Beware of the Sinner's Hands.
Doomed by the Worshippers of great Desasters.

Dead, we are dead.
All dead.

Dead, we are dead.
All dead.

Dead, we are dead.
All dead.

Dead, we are dead.


5. Release into Nothingness

instrumental


6. Zombiefied/Electrified

As the Dead walk again.
Rotten to the Bone.
Infected Bodies with no Soul.
Undead Legions alive in Hell.

Carnivorous Lust for Human Blood.
They all gather in the open painful Extinction of the Human Race.
One by One, they all will die.

No Mercy.
No Mercy.
No Mercy on the Living.

Bitten into Flesh.
Torn to dripping Pieces.
Ripped apart.
Dismembered by reckless Creatures out to kill.

Bitten into Flesh.
Torn to dripping Pieces.
Ripped apart.
Dismembered by reckless Creatures out to kill.

Zombified.
Electrified.
Wicked an so fucking Obscure.

Zombified.
Electrified.
Abusing the last Remains.

Gutted and eaten, tormented by the devious Dead.
Soon the Impulse to extinct will prevail.

No Mercy.
No Mercy.
No Mercy on the Living.

Nails dig deeper into Flesh, rip out the bleeding Heart.
Slay the Scum, no God will help them now.

Contaminated Blood spilled on the Ground.
No Vultures in... in the Sky.
A burning Hunger for the Flesh.
That feeds the living Dead.

Death is all around.
Death is all around.

Nails dig deeper into Flesh, rip out the bleeding Heart.
Slay the Scum, no God will help them now.


7. Among the Ruins of a Once Glorious Temple

These Halls are damned.
Forgotten Path.
Lead me to the hidden Vault.
Lifeless, degrading Chaos.
Covered in Ashes.
Tormented by A nameless Fear.

I have seen the Glory.
I witnessed the Rise.
I proclaimed the Fall.

Blackened the Edge of the Blood Red Altar.
Scarred by gleaming Blades.
In the late Winter of the dying Century.
Drawn to the hopeless Conviction.

Torture the Slaves.
Bleach the defleshed Spine.
In Chains hang them high, down the Walls of Time.

In Chains hang them high, down the Walls of Time.

Darkness falls.
Slaughtered in the Abyss.
Cult of the final Sacrifice.

Vanished, bewitched.
Prophecy fulfilled.

Deaf Ears won't hear the Truth.
Dead Ominous Redemption.

Darkness falls.
Slaughtered in the Abyss.
Cult of the final Sacrifice.

Never will I live again on this bitter Ground.
The Face of Sorrow has no Mouth.
Towers burning in the moonlit Distance.
Cursed all the vivid Memories.

I have seen the Glory.
I witnessed the Rise.
I proclaimed the Fall.

The Fall!


8. Infernal Agony

Triumphant... Oh Lord.
Embraced by Darkness, I follow thee.
Lifeless purification in sacrificial Blasphemy.
I know thy Name carved deep into Flesh.
My Soul will rise for your precious Rapture.
I will weep eternally for your Glory.

Infernal Agony.
Submission for infernal Agony.
For your Glory.
Infernal Agony.
Submission for infernal Agony

Oh, how I long for your coming!
Reveal thy Will to me.

Superior Domination, Warlord Lucifer.
Take my Will, guide me until the End.
I scream to the blood red Skies.
In this unforgiving Night.
Forced into this World.

All will end, all has to die.
In Death we shall see.
What we've denied unleashed the ravenous Fury.
On sacred Ground they will all die.

They will all die.

Infernal Agony.
Submission for infernal Agony.
For your Glory.
Infernal Agony.
Submission for infernal Agony


9. Blood on Wooden Crosses

A dying World in Darkness.
We know who we are.
People of Faith.
Ancient Hatred redifined.

Persecution of the Wise.
Executed under the Cross.
Piles of Bodies rot on the Shores.

They came with Fire, they came to burn.
The Curse of A fallen God, they came with Lies.
They came to cleanse, crowned with Disbelief.

End of our Time.
Nothing will ever be the same.
Kings will be Slaves.
Leaders will follow.

The grinning Priest will judge.
For there is no Tomorrow.
One more Word of the Wise.
Nothing can save us now.

Blood on wooden Crosses

A dying World in Darkness.
We know who we are.
People of Faith.
Ancient Hatred redifined.

Persecution of the Wise.
Executed under the Cross.
Piles of Bodies rot on the Shores.

They came with Fire, they came to burn.
The Curse of A fallen God, they came with Lies.
They came to cleanse, crowned with Disbelief.

A lonely God that failed his Sheep.
Betrayal lies in kind Words.


10. Blasphemous Rituals for the Perverted Flesh

Deep inside...
A monstrous Longing risen from the devastating Darkness.

Blasphemous Rituals, perverted Flesh.
My Soul died A Millon Deaths.
Blasphemous Rituals.
Awake, I'm dying, the Fires of Hell.

Underneath, where the Dead lie in Shame.
Underneath, bleed all over me.
Let me drink the Bitterness.
Hell in clear Sight, another Fever Scene.

Taken by the Light, dead to the World.
The winged Aggressor, in Silence remember the Words.
Lucifer's last Refuge, where the Worms breed.
Taken by the Light, dead to the World.

False Belief.
False Belief.
False Belief.
Kingdom of the lost Wisdom.
Overtaken by A Desire to quench this Thirst.

I suffer.
I Am in Pain.
Through the Carnage to A greater Tragedy.
Grotesque Manifestation of A lying Man.

Hellbound.
Hellbound.
Hellbound Am I.
Grim Reckoning.
I carve these Words with hellish Pride into your Bones.

Taken by the Light, dead to the World.
The winged Aggressor, in Silence remember the Words.
Lucifer's last Refuge, where the Worms breed.
Taken by the Light, dead to the World.

Deep inside...
A monstrous Longing risen from the devastating Darkness.

In the Emptiness of A forgotten Grave.
Baptize the Unborn.
The Sinner shall confess, fallen, drowning in Regrets.
The Deceit of Weakness failed again.

Blasphemous Rituals, perverted Flesh.
My Soul died A Millon Deaths.
Blasphemous Rituals.
Awake, I'm dying, the Fires of Hell.
