This Ending
Crowned in Blood
1. Crowned in Blood
From the shadows he emerges
Behind a shield of deceit
Fearless and triumphant
Determined to wear this crown of blood – at any cost
Sitting on my throne
Having visions of what must be done
All bow at my feet
This is the vision of "our" destiny
I will save you all
From what you thought was a normal life
I will show you all
That my dreams are also yours
Obey and your dreams will be mine
My halo will guide you in your doubts
Do as I say you will be pleased
When I bless you crowned in blood
In the end you'll see – That every part of me
Wish(es) you only well -On your trip through hell
Obey and my dream will be yours
You will soon see it in full force
While you drown in the mud
"Our" glory is now crowned in blood
Wash away the sin -in a cleansing pact
See the crown of blood – Built by flesh and ash
With my scepter I will wield
With my crown of blood and shield
I will preach the dreams of mine
In a way that is so grand
Make you see, make you believe
That all will kneel before "our" might
Through our foes into eternal night
Obey and all dreams will be mine
An empire built on flesh and lies
A testament to all that's false
Our legacy crowned in blood
Wash away the sin ¬-in a cleansing pact
See the crown of blood -Built by flesh and ash
All dreams end
We now walk in the garden of death
Seeing this blasphemous coronation
Forced to kneel before a throne of lies
Rivers of blood running into a well of now poisonous water
2. Birth of Evil
Thrown into a grave of boiling turmoil
By the ones supposed to hold us safe
Life's lost value, now born to die
Obvious to see what lies ahead
Corpses piled wherever we may tread
Hidden in the ground beneath our feet
The birth of evil, mankind's defeat
Blinded by the gruesome acts now done
No longer human, evil grows inside
Turn into beasts, or perish in our sights
Obvious to see what lies ahead
Corpses piled wherever we may tread
Hidden in the ground beneath our feet
The birth of evil, mankind's defeat
Can't we see that we are lost?
We must awake at any cost
Will this be the end of days?
Or can we be the wave of change?
Will we hold our ground and stand?
Or idolize our master's hand?
Try to change the path ahead
Mother earth unites us when we're dead
Hidden in the ground beneath our feet
The birth of evil, we must defeat
In darkness grows our hope
To stop this evil breed
This poison in our veins
The birth of evil
3. Devils
Ripped and torn
Falling through all floors
A blinding storm
In a moment all was gone
We had seen the darkest dreams
Come to life through all the screams
All that was, no longer stands
All the words, they had their plan
Stripped of all that we once had
All our dreams, they now seem mad
Forced to see how all derailed
Forced to see the birth of (this new) plague
All went wrong
Humiliation of the new goal
Turned into devils
The psychosis became too strong
To break the spirit
The devils' dream
Taking all there is to take
Bringing pain was no mistake
Devils wear a deadly grin
Devils hide beneath the skin
Pushing further digging deep
Bringing forth the devils' deeds
If you raise your hand and scream
Mouth is filled with gasoline
4. Will of Iron
Heart is bursting through the chest
A racing pulse of imminent disaster
A shock to the system
In this moment of unreal terror
Lost within terminal chaos
Burnt out housings, burning bodies
Mutilated by infernal powers
Now gather our strength – we must arise
With a will of iron
Now we will return – hunting them down
Will of iron
When the fires have ceased burning
Nothing is quite like before – a new life – a new dawning
Seeing corpses of the damned
In ruins, we stand
Now gather our strength – we must arise
With a will of iron
Now we will return – hunting them down
Will of iron
Hunt them, hang them, maim them – Will of iron
Hunt them, drain them, burn them – Will of iron
Hunt them, drain them, burn them, will of iron
Now gather our strength – we must arise
With a will of iron
Now we will return – hunting them down
Will of iron
With a will of iron
5. Blood King
6. A Venomous Prison
In the cover of night
You will atone
For sins, you're told you have committed
Giving you answers to questions not asked
Repeating the lie, it is the truth
A venomous prison where thoughts go to die
Don't drink their water
It will blind and corrupt
Believe in realities so far from our truth
Being trapped in a well of poisonous water
It colours the world into infinite grey
Feeding the sickness, bleeding the mind
Self-preservation, the way of the blind
Blurring the vision, (it) sees only lies
No antidote but a wide open eye
A venomous prison where thoughts go to die
Don't drink their water
It will blind and corrupt
A venomous prison
Chaining down rational thoughts
7. Hope in Inferno
Beautiful from a distance
The light of the burning fields
The land is left barren
Life lays in ruins
Must see beauty in mayhem – hope in inferno
This is the darkness
Harvesting hope
The shadow of death
Looming around us
Now it has arrived
Burning fury, burning eyes
Try to take you all alive
To consume you, to enslave
Make you shiver, make you beg
Seeking beauty in this mayhem
Seeking hope in inferno
Try to survive, hold on to life
Avoiding the jaws – the shadow of death
Seeking beauty in this mayhem
Seeking hope in inferno
Seeking beauty in this mayhem
Seeking hope in inferno
8. Lord, Master, King and Emperor - All in One
A consuming urge has been awakened
An overwhelming wave of grandeur
To be lord, master, king, and emperor – All in one
The almighty and eternal vessel of torture and plague
A beast in a long-lived peaceful slumber
Slowly awakens and sharpens its teeth
While smirkingly smiling saying all is at peace
To be lord, master, king, and emperor – All in one
Surrounding you with its snake like arms,
A quick strangulation would be best for both parts
A wave of destruction set in motion
A turbulent thrive of forceful submission
To crush and grind down all in its way
To be lord, master, king, and emperor – All in one
Wide open hungry mouth
It will devour all in sight
Flesh ripped apart, furious frenzy, blood drenched smiles
The smell of death, would make them bow, make them obey
Something is off, why do they rise, why don't they crawl?
The smell of blood, awakened rage, must not fall prey.
What happened now? Have the dying once again arisen?
Or did they hide? Underneath the ground, in their ashened vaults?
This newfound force, like hitting hard into a wall
Not in the plans of a mad hungry demi-God
This should not be, it's not the plan.
What would be, has not passed
Judgment day wouldn't last
All is now unforeseen and so dark
To be lord, master, king and emperor – All in one
9. Awakening
Against all odds, we kept the beast at bay
Searching for weakness, looking for the signs
We will await the stars to soon align
With burning fury – we'll drive this darkness back to hell
We must awake them – the sleepers where they dwell
Open their minds – so they can see that they are bound
We will await the stars to soon align
With burning fury – we'll drive this darkness back to hell
Our will is undiminished – each death will make us strong
We've set our aim – tear the beast limb from limb
Awake the sleepers – now aware
They've been dreamless – unaware
Clean the water – open minds
Seeking wisdom from the well
No longer waiting, the stars have now aligned
A new awakening – has driven this darkness back to hell
10. Light the Flame
