"Fall From Grace"
(Lyrics - Vincent; Music - Azagthoth)
Hot wind burns me
Burning as I fall
Cast away
Speechless in the holy way
I survive
The scourge and banishing
To scorching land
I am lord, I take command
[Fall from grace]
Forgive me not
This knowledge makes me strong
To resurrect
The cities of the damned
All the treasure of sodom
Now belong to me - celebrate
Fallen angels take my hand
[Fall from grace]
Whores long for my flesh
And my desire
Lust annointing me now
Consume my soul
(solo Azagthoth)
(solo Brunelle)
[I ride the flesh and the sinners of hell]
[I am belial]
[I bend knee not before my selfish desire]
(solo Brunelle)
"Brainstorm"
(Lyrics - Vincent; Music - Azagthoth)
Gods transform me
The storm will cleanse me
Civilized I shall not be
By this holy strain of laws
I fall below the earth
I smell the ancients' breath
The fiends encircle me
They speak my name in tongues
For I'm no human now
I burn the ways conform
The gods are pleased with me
They speak my name in tongues
I am the seer
I know the texts divine
Thunder words
Demons race into my hands
(solo Brunelle)
(solo Azagthoth)
Azazel
Lend me your wings of twelve
I shall fly into the storm
I, son of fire, in anger become
The lightning bolts that strike the earth
(solo Azagthoth)
[repeat 4:th verse]
"Rebel Lands"
(Lyrics - Vincent; Music - Azagthoth)
War-kills on the land
Blood-saturates
Hallowed ground
To which my fathers fell
Rebel souls
Buried deep beneath
This hallowed ground
Land of my ancestry
Drink the blood
Rebel lands rise again
War-death lingering
Blood rivers flow
In sacrifice
Unholy war
Implored from below
No peace as
rebel lands rise
(solo Azagthoth)
Quaking below my feet
Mortals shall suffer defeat
Forgotten evils below
Rejoice as the blood flows
(solo Brunelle)
(solo Azagthoth
"Doomsday Celebration"
(Music - Azagthoth)
(instrumental)
"Day Of Suffering"
(Lyrics - Vincent; Music - Azagthoth)
A call to take your hand
For I'm at one with the dark
How dare you come with me
And again you must die
So ancient curse known to me
Behold the powers I unleash
Upon your throne
Know my words, feel my hate descend
Lord of light
I will swarm against you now
Gods perverse
Wickeds at my side
Misery
Thorns to lance your every word
Nazarene
Now I crown you king in pain
Suffer
(solo Azagthoth)
"Blessed Are The Sick/Leading The Rats"
(Lyrics - Vincent; Music - Azagthoth)
Havahej another me born to serve
To plague and moan
So many years my seed condemned
No free to soar!!!
Will is yours? So, creator
No intend could shadow
My disease... Ever lusting pain
World of sickness
Blessed are we to taste
This life of sin
My touch is inhumane
Nocturnal beast inside
Is void of light
And empty shall remain
[Repeat 3:rd verse]
"Thy Kingdom Come"
(Lyrics - Vincent; Music - Azagthoth)
Restless minds beneath the ground
Through ghostly winds I hear the sound
Crying forth in ancient tongues
Eternal quest of vengeance
From tombs of scorn cadavers rise
Angered fury in their eyes
Solemn rage, a need to kill
Feasting on holy hordes
Evil curse is carried forth zombies rage
Burning holy images in life they were
Forced to hail
Eternal flames have purified their souls
Born again in blasphemy, thy kingdom come
Twisted oath nodebliwith
Preying on those who seek the cross
Let none be pardoned for their crimes
Feeble race will die
Scripture burns in infamy
Tortured souls have been set free
Taunting he who sits on high
Pray thy kingdom come
[Repeat 2:nd verse]
Banished from the living
Bodies long decayed
Mass of resurrection
Sepulchers abandoned
Insurgent souls arise
Disseminating evil
Curse of devastation
Implored by hell's command
Darkness rips the land
Morbid priests serenity
Sing praise
Thy kingdom is at hand
(solo Azagthoth)
(solo Brunelle)
[Repeat 3:rd verse]
[Repeat 2:nd verse]
"Unholy Blasphemies"
(Lyrics - Azagthoth/Vincent; Music - Azagthoth)
Rise through the gate, Iak Sakkath
From depths beyond the sky
The realm of evil gods
Painful... They eat your mind
[Chorus]
Evil undisguised
Breathe in pain
Blackened souls remain
Ghouls who pray the death of god
Destroy Jehovah's church
Vomit upon the cross
And burn the book of lies
[Chorus]
(solo Brunelle)
[Repeat 2:nd verse]
[Chorus]
(solo Azagthoth)
Yog sothoth evil one
Come forth and taste the blood
Infant entrails
Are hung upon the twisted cross
(solo Azagthoth)
"Abominations"
(Lyrics & Music - Azagthoth)
(solo Brunelle)
Churning sea of Absu
Place of weeping death
Tiamat, dark serpent
Lord of the morbid priests
Enraged with hate for god
The priests of chaos chant
From the book of the worm
They burn the symbols of christ
We spit on the virgin lamb
And mock the words he spoke
His ways not worthy of me
We choose to burn in the pits of hell
(solo Azagthoth)
Wreakers of death and havoc
Inflicting never ending pain
Sing the words of emptiness
Formulas of death
Call the queens of hell
And the god of the dead
The sea of Absu rolls
Rising spirit of Nar-Marratuk!!!
Bow down before the master
And pray the defeat of God Dog
Prayer of the ensnarers
Blind fiends of chaos rule
(solo Azagthoth)
Rise up o powers of the sea
In the name of Absu I call
Come and carry my curse
To the ones who me disgust
May they burn in my cauldron
For they are as molten wax
So made it be
Liars in wait, priests of the night
Make images to burn by the moon
Robbing the spirit, raping god's law
Send up our hate to burn heavens gate
(solo Brunelle)
[Repeat 1:st verse]
[Repeat 4:th verse]
(solo Brunelle)
[Repeat 5:th verse]
[Repeat 6:th verse]
(solo Azagthoth)

(Music - Brunelle)

"The Ancient Ones"
(Lyrics & Music - Azagthoth)
(solo Azagthoth)
(solo Brunelle)
(solo Azagthoth)
(solo Brunelle)
Locked deep beyond the gate
Lost within the stars
Realm of ancient ones
Malignant ones
Against the light
Power of the blackened sky
Hateful spawn "We are the chasm depths"
Come forth ancient ones, Tiamat Kutulu
Rise, greed the cursed with your wrath
My enemies are yours
Twist their minds with your spells
Crush their souls
With your infernal grasp
A scorn from the Absu
Kutulu snaps his jaws
Cauldron burns and receives
Crushing the voice of the tyrants
Raise the horns in blasphemy
[Repeat 2:nd verse]
(solo Azagthoth)
[Repeat 2:nd verse]
