[instrumental]
2. Icons Of Evil
[Music - Lazaro / Lyrics - Suzuki]
I PROCLAIM THIS TEMPLE OF FLESH AS THE RULER TO BE...
defame the names of all your dead gods
vomit upon the path of salvation
watch the creator succumb to extinction
the hunter now the hunted
you become the prey for us all
confront me now
defiler of human desire
voracious hordes await the hour of ascension
unravel their delusion
their translucent divinity
THE BLOODSHED
BEGIN THE BLOODSHED
for blasphemy is the pure blood within us all
hear the siren of death from high above
the upheaval of an unholy war...has now begun
(I AM THE FIST IN YOUR BASTARD SON'S FACE...)
burn down the churches...engulfed by hatred
tear down the kingdom...incinerate his vision
destroy their icons...pulled from their neck
the exodus of faith...their will we did break
shattering the hope they once loved [x2]
so, you damn me...no...fuck you.
fuck...your beliefs
fuck...your divine promises
fuck all of those who has preached the swine called god
confront me now
defiler of human desire
voracious hordes await the hour of ascension
unravel their delusion
their translucent divinity
THE BLOODSHED
BEGIN THE BLOODSHED
for blasphemy is the pure blood within us all
hear the siren of death from high above
the upheaval of an unholy war...has now begun
I am the hammered nail, piercing your forsaken flesh
burn down the churches...engulfed by hatred
tear down the kingdom...incinerate his vision
destroy their icons...pulled from their neck
the exodus of faith...their will we did break
shattering the hope they once loved
I, ALONE, BEFOUL THE NAME OF YOUR GODS...
DESPISED ICON OF OFFAL...
defame the names of all your dead gods
vomit upon the path of salvation
watch as the creator succumbs to extinction
the hunter now the hunted
you become the prey for us all
you become the prey for us all
for we are the icons of evil
3. Scorned
[Music - Lazaro / Lyrics - Suzuki]
nihilistic conquest...
ravish your belief in god
heaps of carnage...
march through the path of scattered remnants
a gift for mankind that was heaven sent
the mortars of annihilation
these are your faithful...
dead from the writings of false scriptures
venomous supremacy...
spreads within the mind of the wicked
lust for retaliation after the fall of dawn
just to die in sight of the sun
brought to light...a cause unbeknown to them
commence the process of deterioration
Christianity abhorred
begin the decimation of reverence
your life and spirit...scorned
cleanse the earth through havoc-induced ferocity
rejoice...this ravishing of unmerciful beauty
no god...no beast...
opening the gates...flood the earth with cruelty
burning the path to peace...bow to your god of impurity
no god...no beast...
carnal dreams of pestilence and decay
awaken to your world of god...now devoid and abandoned
blinded from the sight...so impure and callous
vision erased....
salvation has renounced the hearts of the fallen
...salvation has renounced the hearts of the fallen
the balance of faith has been shifted
consumed by the light...vehement for deliverance
spreads the contamination within the righteous
leading them towards the abyss of blood and wickedness
so be it...i am the enemy
so be it...i am the one you seek
so be it...i have no sympathy or empathy
it is done...my words and life bleed blasphemy
(repeat verses)
only to leave man to shit upon this kingdom of divinity
4. Born To Rape The World
[Music - Lazaro / Lyrics - Suzuki]
untouched by grace
fallen are the messengers
hymns of the profane
unheard by the pious
revere the inverted hypocrite
as we breed to the sound of the hammering nail
BEFOUL THE TEACHINGS OF DIVINITY...
words shall unveil the silent truth
like razors through the flesh of the divine
severing the artery from god
abandoned and devoured by the larvae of those who abhor
distant lull
deep in the subconscious
unstoppable urge...uncontrolled
now coming to the surface
their eyes are blind
but the dead shall always see
the coming entity
ALL WILL WITNESS AS THE UNDENIABLE TRUTH UNFOLDS
FOR THEY NOW KNOW THE TRUTH THAT HEAVEN IS NO MORE
unborn, unblessed and unknowing...
finish the deed of those who came before us
crushing all those who oppose
invert the one nailed to wood
being ravished over and over again...
this shrine of rapture...
lead them to this world of deceit
engulfed by your avarice
killing their faith completely
he was born to rape the world
he was born to rape the world
it is meant to be...their breath of life...stolen by me
dead blood will deface their dreams of pure lucidity
he was born to rape the world
he was born to rape the world
left in awe
the cessation of perseverance
a memory unbecoming
devotion shall drown those who follow
the god they seek...shall be unhallowed
(repeat verses)
he was born to rape the world
he was born to rape the world
it is meant to be...their breath of life...stolen by me
dead blood will deface their dreams of pure lucidity
he was born to rape the world
he was born to rape the world
invert the one nailed to wood
being ravished over and over again...
this shrine of rapture...
lead them to this world of deceit
engulfed by your avarice
killing their faith completely
5. Reborn... The Upheaval Of Nihility
[Music - Lazaro / Lyrics - Suzuki]
jesus...(the) Antichrist
bringer of all the world's plagues and death
true are the words of those before us
the ones who prophesied the end of time
was the pawn for their unbecoming
jesus...(the) Antichrist
look upon the pages of the scripture
the instructions of revelations within
the coming of war is the true word of god
extinction of man will prevail
you brought this ravaging upon yourself
tyrant of the weak
they forced you to believe
jehovah...we cum on the whores who revere
jesus...(the) Antichrist
deny the one
false giver of hope
your innocence was befouled
for you have been deceived
by the king of absurdity
oh, this leaves a warm taste of asperity...
the fading of renouncement breeds within
their structure of what life should become...
is the downfall of mankind
oh, this leaves a warm taste of asperity...
the fading of renouncement breeds within
the once mighty now has fallen...
comes the silence of their fears
this is the time of anti-christian upheaval...
to forever close their undeserving eyes
through the land of the vanquished...
the trail of blood will flood this sanctity
underneath the lining of their words...
comes the true blood of evil
reborn...the upheaval of nihility
release the pain of enslavement...now
[repeat verses]
6. Hammer Down The Nails
[Music - Lazaro / Lyrics - Suzuki]
hammer down the nails...
unfurl the coming aeon
the world as you see it...will be gone
thrust into chaos
unpredicted prophecies unfold
like wolves...we encircle and lure them in for the kill
unadorned
the cross you bear is only the beginning
the symbol you once embraced
now has a new and sickening meaning
like wolves...we encircle and lure them in for the kill
onrush of hate...begin the cleansing of their will
repulsed of your former life
true self-worth abandoned
become the icon of failure
the god whose name became nothing
we defile...in the name of purity
we violate...in the name of sacredness
we deny...in the name of faith
we destroy...in the name of god
no light shall pierce the ebony drape
wordless will be the righteous
glorify in the horror
as the lord did abscond
no light shall pierce the ebony drape
wordless will be the righteous
glorify in the horror
as blackened eyes will see no more
[repeat verses]
hammer down the nails...
7. Shrapnel Embedded Flesh
[Music - Lazaro / Lyrics - Suzuki]
prepare the coming of shrapnel embedded flesh
the new communion
tomorrow is the dawning of the age
of ammunition
through my eyes...
he is the creator of fear
he is the creator of lies
he is the creator of suffering
the cancer of mankind
for we are kings of our domain
the rule supreme we shall regain
through his eyes
he is the creator of life
he is the creator of peace
then by the words of their book
he's the true creator of war
complete decimation
consumed by unrelenting voracity
lead them into the world of truth
by killing their faith completely
their truth has finally come undone
as their eyes are blackened by the sun
the words of god that burns inside
the trust is broken
between the one you call divine
has left you screaming...
you lied...you lied...you lied
the words of god that burns inside
the trust is broken
listen to the winds from the north...
our chant of triumph
we are coming...
we are coming...
our force of hate will show the true face of god
we are coming...
we are coming...
our force of hate will show the true face of god
(repeat verses)
gone...are the signs of salvation
gone...are the signs of revelation
gone...are the signs of your fucking god
collapse into misery...life exhausted
wretched be thy name
eradicate...your grip of denomination
abrogation...the taste of Judas upon your lips
forgotten...dishonored and discarded
collapse into misery...life exhausted...
your name torn from the pages of life
8. 'Till Death
[Music - Lazaro / Lyrics - Suzuki]
unleash the sickness...
infecting the soul which will now depart
unearth the forsaken...dimming the glare of eternal light
only to be erased by the awaiting devastation
may his name be remembered no more
predestined existence...their eyes bleed the lies divine
imperious deception...admonish those who made you bleed
foresee the coming of retribution...
prepare them for the day of slaughter
let them hate...so long as they fear
as they did of us...for so many years
complete voraciousness...towards the will of man
through the hours of our pre-eminence
the words of god we shall blame
disembowel the souls to be released into the void
their essence now ordained
torrents of fury
begin the process of deconstruction
the obedient wait
as their structure of life begins to decay
from the inside out
upon knees and hands
drain the sanctity from their veins
drowning from the pain
the end of existence...devour the land from end to end
his gates are ablaze...devour the palace of peace
my words and my will shall be law...till death
through the hours of our pre-eminence
the words of god we shall blame
disembowel the souls to be released into the void
their essence now ordained
let them hate...so long as they fear
as they did of us...for so many years
complete voraciousness...towards the will of man
predestined existence...their eyes bleed the lies divine
imperious deception...admonish those who made you bleed
foresee the coming of retribution...
prepare them for the day of slaughter
torrents of fury
begin the process of deconstruction
the obedient wait
as their structure of life begins to decay
from the inside out
upon knees and hands
drain the sanctity from their veins
drowning from the pain
unleash the sickness...
infecting the soul which will now depart
unearth the forsaken...dimming the glare of eternal light
only to be erased by the awaiting devastation
may his name be remembered no more
the end of existence...devour the palace of peace
my words and my will shall be law...till death
watch as their faith begins to disintegrate
9. In Infamy
[Music - Lazaro / Lyrics - Suzuki]
hail to the fallen ones
praise our fallen ones
they walked with the darkness
they lived through pain and suffering
no regrets...steamroll right through the herde
never looking back
through their veins
flows the blackest of blood...heathens arise
sweep forth the sickle of abomination
continue their murderous fury
ripped from our hands
hear the cries of those left behind
full force
through the storm of retribution
though life was cut short
your memory will carry on
remember the fallen
through celebration of the human kings
look towards the sky
that is where I'll never be
walking the path of the wicked
their deeds shall live in infamy
[repeat verses]
10. Disciples Of Hell
In the darkness, they will gather
Conjuring the one
Burning candles, incantations
Human sacrifice
Getting drunk from blood, not wine
Pointy daggers shine
Out of fire, smoke and brimstone
The dreaded one will rise
Rise...Burn...Rise...
Nobody knows who's the disciples of hell
Father's a priest and he's casting a spell
No one can stop what's already begun
Worshipping darkness and Lucifer's son
Victims of the grand illusion
Screams of ecstasy
Fools are lost in mass confusion
Searching for the key
Nobody knows who's the disciples of hell
Father's a priest and he's casting a spell
No one can stop what's already begun
Worshipping darkness and Lucifer's son
Raise your cup and praise the prince of darkness
See the truth of the power within the beast
And when the time has come
The gates of hell shall open
Burning candles, incantations
Human sacrifice
Out of fire, smoke and brimstone
The dreaded one will rise
Nobody knows who's the disciples of hell
Father's a priest and he's casting a spell
No one can stop what's already begun
Worshipping darkness and Lucifer's son
